Uncovering The Mystery That Is Hallucigenia

The vestigial hindlimbs are good evidence for evolution. If the whale had been designed they wouldn’t be there. (sorry I have run out of time).

Scientists have uncovered stone carvings that depict an unfathomable beast with large flippers. The first account of this creature dates back all the way to 565 AD. “According to that work, the monster bit a swimmer and was prepared to attack another man when Columba intervened ordering the beast to go back” (Tikkanen 3). Many of these encounters seem to solely be Scottish folklore, which is inspired by mythical water creatures. The legends hit a peak around 1933, when a road was finished giving the lake and obstructed view.

Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic brain disorder in which a person interprets actual reality abnormally. It is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to think clearly, have normal responses to emotions, act normal in a social setting, and tell the difference between their own interpretation of reality and actual reality. There are several types of Schizophrenia: paranoid, undifferentiated, disorganized, residual, and catatonic schizophrenia. The assumption is that schizophrenia is split or multiple personalities. Schizophrenia is defined as “split mind” but this references the disruption in normal balance of emotions and thinking. Schizophrenia is a chronic condition that requires lifelong treatment.

Schizophrenia is a psychological condition that causes delusions or hallucinations making it extremely difficult for those who have the disorder to discern between reality and the imaginations (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). These fictitious experiences are often frightening situations where the victim cannot properly respond if the danger were reality because he/she believes everything is reality, even events that are produced by the imagination. “Emil Kraepelin, who coined the term schizophrenia (literally “split mind”) in the 1890s, viewed the disorder as a split from reality, not a split attitude or split personality as is sometimes mistakenly assumed” (Feist and Rosenburg, 2012, p. 607). Schizophrenia is widely recognized by society as the disorder where the victim hears voices that really are just fantasies of their imagination. This is often a major symptom, but it can include other symptoms as well. People with schizophrenia have a distorted view of society and their interactions with it including the idea that people are controlling them and that someone is plotting evil against them (NIMH, 2007). Speech is often disorganized an incoherent because of this disorder, which reflects the cognitive state of thinking, also being disjointed.

For access more information about the evolution of the group and possibly to classify the specimen in a taxonomic low level, phylogenetic analyses is being

In the depths of Loch Ness, Great Britain’s largest body of freshwater, the unidentified creature, affectionately known as “Nessie”, is believed to take residence (San Souci 14). However, the loch has many mysteries of its own. For example, the temperature of the water should be cold enough to freeze over, but it never does (Berke 21). Only twenty miles away, snow falls occur often on the

Pt states that he has been tormented by demons that have increased in regards of licking and humiliating him. Pt states that the tactile hallucinations have increased in severity and frequency. Pt endorses paranoid thinking where he states he has a girlfriend name Ivy that he is intimate with and has conversations with. Pt mom stated that he has been have a relationship with a “ghost”. P states that he has attempted to ignore the tactile hallucinations however it seems to make the “demons more aggressive”. Pt mother states the pt engages in self-injurious behaviors described by hitting self in the face and pulling hair out when he becomes increasingly agitated from the tactile hallucinations or direction. Pt states his thoughts are constantly

For example, the five-eyed, one armed Opabinia reglias was an oddity from the Cambrain era recently discovered. Yi Qi was discovered in 2015, and it harkens back to the dragon myths of the olden times with its bat-like wings and wyvern-esque appearance. Yutyrannus huali shows that larger theropods could have feathers like the smaller, more well-known Velociraptor. Nanuqsaurus showed that tyrannosaurs lived farther up north than originally anticipated, hence its name of “polar bear lizard”. These discoveries continue to rewrite what is known about prehistory by throwing a morphological “monkey-wrench” into currently accepted theories and ideas. As such, the field must continue to adapt as new discoveries and creatures are brought to light. New advances in research have given the paleontologists new insight, and let them more easily “bounce back” from any ground-breaking discoveries that turn their theories on their heads. Of course, their theories must still be sensible, or they will otherwise be discredited. David Peters is a perfect example of “what not to do” when presenting theories on prehistoric life, and has been completely discredited by the paleontological community as a

Johansson and his team found half a pelvis, among the bones, providing them with important information about the gender of the fossil. (Johanson,

In the cases of big foot, the Loch Ness monster, and even crop circles, I consider them to be hoaxes. I believe that they are probably people exploiting the fact that we as humans are naïve and are willing to believe anything. Big foot and the Loch Ness monster are prime examples of a hoax. They are hoaxes because there is no evidence to support that they in fact do exist. There is a reason why they are unexplainable and contain no scientific evidence because they are not real and do not exist. The logical explanation for Big Foot is that it is just a guy in a gorilla suit. For example, some people believe that crop circles are created by extraterrestrials or some higher power, but they can be explained logically because there are already videos of people proving that they could replicate these circles. Although these patterns are so vast and precise it may seem as if it were created by some other being, the videos prove that humans are in fact capable of replicating these patterns. Yet despite the overwhelming evidence that suggests people can create these circles, people still cling to the idea that something not of this world created these crop

Are they feet? Or paws? Or hooves? They seem to be all three as the monstrosity is outlined in that place just outside your vision. It seems to quiver, shaking in the haze of the gloom. Not from fear, but from anticipation. The outline is on all fours, then rises up on two stout legs, taller than any man and more frighteningly powerful, the eyes burn in the darkness; crimson lagoons populated with pink lines and piecing, tiny black pupils. These you can see clearly, they capture your mind, drawing you in, sucking you into the darkest memories of the bad

In this outline, I will be researching different kind of hallucinations and how they can sometimes lead to other disorders or problems in seemingly normal human minds.

The primary interest of present-day cryptozoologists are such animals as the Loch Ness Monster and other lake monsters, Bigfoot and other living hominoids, and the possibility of

Hallucinations are also present in individuals who suffer from migraines. Visual hallucinations are likely to reflect neurological conditions. About 15 percent of migraine sufferers experience visual aura, which can range from vision loss, to simple hallucinations like seeing linear lines. Auras are mild seizures in a specific part in the brain that are usually followed by epileptic fits. Some people may experience vision distortions in association with migraine as well. The hallucinations in this cases are related to change in blood flow from the migraine.

Maximum body size of the worms is about 10cm (200-250 segments), and 1.5 millimeters in diameter. Distinguishing head and tail ends isn’t difficult because the head is a darker color, as well as the fact that the tail isn’t as wide and mobile as the head. Notable anatomical parts appearing in the first ten of these worm’s segments include a conical prostomium, muscular pharynx, as well as male and female sex organs (Drewes, 1999), which forces worms onto the label of hermaphrodite (Brinkhurst, Gelder, 1991The head and tail ends appear to favor each other, but there are vital differences in their bodily roles and structure. These differences are often subtle and gradual, often being shown as anterior-posterior gradients affecting all organ
