Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The Iroquois have an interesting legend about a horrifying flying creature that terrorized people for no apparent reason. This was no ordinary head of a normal person. The head was enormous, approximately four times the size of a man's. This bodyless creature had great wings protruding from its cheeks.
Lurking in the forest, the monster was coated in thick black hair, and its mouth was filled with fangs. It ate everything alive, including humans.
What is interesting and slightly unusual about this Native American monster is that it seems to have vanished into thin air. The flying head was seen by many, but then it simply disappeared, and no one knows what happened to it.
In Native American mythology, numerous accounts exist of dangerous flying creatures. The legendary thunderbird was admired and feared by the Indians. There are various legends about the Thunderbird, but most tribes claim that the powerful and magnificent Thunderbird was sent by the Gods to protect humans from evil. When this giant, eagle-like bird soared the skies, one could hear its mighty wings beat with the sound of rolling thunder. Its eyes were burning like fire and caused lightning.
