Mothman

The ' Mothman is a creature reportedly seen in the Charleston and Point Pleasant areas of West Virginia from November 12, 1966, to December 1967.[1] Most observers describe the Mothman as a winged man-sized creature with large reflective red eyes and large moth-like wings. The creature was sometimes reported as having no head, with its eyes set into its chest.

Needs to be looked at in the creator, but meets the description. Tried as may things as I could for a "Moth" mouth, but this looks as close as I could get

hmmmmm...that case was always my favorite beause my boss did it!

Chupacabra

Appearance
The most common description of Chupacabra is a reptile-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back.[18] This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo.[19] In at least one sighting, the creature was reported to hop 20 feet (6 m). This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue, and large fangs. It is said to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave behind a sulfuric stench.[19] When it screeches, some reports assert that the chupacabra's eyes glow an unusual red which gives the witnesses nausea.

Another description of Chupacabra, although not as common, describes a strange breed of wild dog.[19] This form is mostly hairless and has a pronounced spinal ridge, unusually pronounced eye sockets, fangs, and claws. It is claimed that this breed might be an example of a dog-like reptile. Unlike conventional predators, the chupacabra is said to drain all of the animal's blood (and sometimes organs) through a single hole or two holes.[20]
I'm going to try this one

Bloody Mary Urban Legend

There are various version of this urban legend. The common theme is that if you stand in front of a mirror in a dark room (sometimes with a lit candle) and chant Bloody Mary a certain number of times (usually 13), then a terrifying ghost will appear. This is the stuff of both folklore and urban legend. There are many supposed origins to the story involve a Mary Worth, Mary Queen of Scots, and Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary). The tellings in folklore vary. More recently the urban legend centers on a bathroom mirror or sometimes any mirror and has been revived in recent years particularly in "B" movies targeted at teen audiences; e.g. Blood Mary (2005).

My creation is a depiction of a ghost appearing in a mirror in a darkened room and with a little imagination you can imagine the candle as reflection.
