New Kidney 'Changed My Whole Personality'
Telegraph
A woman claims to have undergone a
complete "personality transplant" after receiving a new kidney.
Cheryl Johnson, 37, says she has changed completely since receiving
the organ in May. She believes that she must have picked up her new
characteristics from the donor, a 59-year-old man who died from an
aneurysm.
Now, not only has her personality changed, the single mother also
claims that her tastes in literature have taken a dramatic turn.
Whereas she only used to read low-brow novels, Dostoevsky has become
her author of choice since the transplant.
Miss Johnson, from Penwortham, in Preston, Lancs, said: "You pick up
your characteristics from your donor. My son said when I first had
the transplant, I went stroppy and snappy - that wasn't me...

Dead Cow, Coyote Found Near Site of "Lizard Man"
Mystery
Wis News 10
LEE COUNTY, SC (WIS) - We have been
following a renewed investigation into the "Lizard Man."
Thursday we have learned that two dead animals were found in a field
near the home of Dixie and Bob Rawson. The Lee County Sheriff's
Department says it could be linked to some pretty serious damage to
the Rawson's van.
Last week, the Rawsons showed us how the van's front grill was
chewed up, and how the wheel wells on both sides were bent. When
some of the Rawson's cats went missing too, neighbors said the
"Lizard Man" might be responsible.
Lee County Sheriff E.J. Melvin is out to inspect the field near the
Rawsons on his four-wheeler. "Just going to ride the field, see if
there are anymore animals laying out dead..."

Bigfoot Casts a Philosophical Shadow
by Barry Bergman,
UC Berkeley News
Bigfoot? At
Berkeley?
Hold your fire, if not your skepticism. In the equivocal spirit of
sightings of Bigfoot himself — according to folklore and a handful
of so-called cryptozoologists, a towering, humanlike hominid that
roams the dense forests of the American Northwest and British
Columbia on two legs — casts of what may or may not be the
creature’s footprints are now on view at the Hearst Museum of
Anthropology.
Whatever they are or aren’t, though, they are most definitely a
conversation piece. The plaster casts were created by the late
anthropologist Grover Krantz, a one-time Berkeley grad student and
Hearst Museum preparator who went on to become one of the world’s
best-known researchers of Bigfoot, also called Sasquatch. (He
hypothesized that the species was part of a surviving population of
Gigantopithecines, an extinct ape.) The prints, allegedly, are from
tracks made by an individual called Cripplefoot and found in the
snow by a local butcher near a Bossburg, Wash., garbage dump in
1969. Krantz donated the casts to the museum in 1970.
"My daughter kept telling me that she saw the figure of a woman
wearing all white flying around her classroom before closing in on
her. She said she felt a sudden chill just before the ghostly figure
reached her, and she just screamed," he said. A student named Wati
said the incident began just after the weekly school assembly on
Sunday morning, when a Form Two girl started screaming
uncontrollably, seemingly in fear of something...
