 Mystery cat of Flores

The ngo ngoe is an unknown felid in which the Nage people of Flores, Indonesia, believe.  It may not be a distinct species, but maybe a large feral cat.  It may also be a leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis).  It should not be forgotten that Flores was where the remains of Homo floresiensis were found and that the Nage believe in what may be their descendants - a race called the Ebu Gogo.

CRYPTID NOTELETS

I hope to make this a regular feature in which I put in short pieces about obscure cryptids that it might be argued do not merit an article.

Strange Little People

Let us take you back to 1896 when a 16-year old boy (name unsupplied) heard strange music which led him to a bunch of Little People.  He had followed the sound of a  kind of music they were making.  He saw beings 3.5-4' tall.  They seem to have been humanoid, but had unusually large heads.  They surveyed the plants and insects round about, not showing interest.  When the teenager approached, they may have been at first hesitant, but then came forward and felt his clothes and face.  No further information  is provided, except to say the episode took place near Loganville (Georgia).

GOATMAN OF MODERN GREECE

This creature, half man and half goat, was reported in 1937.  Another was seen in 1950.  These are reminiscent of depictions of satyrs in Ancient Greece, but satyrs were originally part man, part horse.  However they are much the same as the pans believed in in Greece.
