Horrifying blood beast of Borneo attacks again
Blood beast photographed in Baleh river near a village
Screaming villagers pleaded with authorities to save them from the slithering blood beast–a horrendous 100-foot nightmare that feeds on humans and animals partially digesting them before sucking the quivering remains into its churning gut.
Reports are the reptilian beast is on the prowl again as partially digested cattle have been found near the riverbanks.
They call it 'Nabau'
Sharing the water with a terrifying river snake is something the simple people along the twists and curves of the sluggishly moving Baleh have uneasily dealt with for centuries.
Villagers swear the blood beast is real and point to the markers depicting empty graves where loved ones and friends should have been buried–except they met with one of the beasts while fishing on the lake or standing too close to the river.
The bodies were never recovered.
Artist's interpretation of the Baleh river blood beast.
Some natives swear they've seen the snake with their own eyes. The river people call it Nabau from the name of an ancient Indonesian shape-shifting sea snake.
But many others just call the thing the blood beast as it tends to pre-digest its victims with a corrosive spittle turning them into a mass of disintegrating bloody flesh. Then the hellish behemoth grabs them in its gaping jaws and gulps them down whole.
Captured on film

Not long ago the voracious predator was captured on film. While the rest of the world smirked, local villagers living along the Baleh jungle river in Borneo, Indonesia saw nothing laughable about the creeping creature.
Photo analysts that have studied copies of the prints depicting the creature from the air admit the object cannot be a log. And it is trailing multiple wakes alongside it as it it's swimming.
Photos showing the blood beast in different parts of the river have convinced many villagers that never came across it that the gigantic blood beast is real.

Expert doubts blood beast exists
Contacted by Scientific American, Hany Farid, a computer science professor at Dartmouth University, doubts the photos are real, although he admits it's possible they are.
He questions the photographs' fuzziness and the fact none of them show the blood beast interacting with any other object.
While Farid refuses to validate the photos as genuine, he's reluctant to call them fakes too. Cryptically, he offers this advice: "When you look at images, you should think about, 'How hard would this be to do?'"
Meanwhile, natives along the Baleh river aren't concerned about photos, they keep an wary eye out for the blood beast and make sure they're not its next meal.
