cryptid-wendigo:The Nameless Thing of Berkley Square is a creature that reportedly lives in the haunted townhouse on 50 Berkley Square in Mayfair, Central London. Some say that the building is the most haunted in London. The Nameless Thing has been described as a “mutant cephalopod” and as semi-aquatic. The first known account of the creature was from the 1840s in a report involving Sir Robert Warboys. The 20 year old had first believed the creature’s legend to be “unadulterated poppycock”. However, his friends, during a night of drinking, challenged him to spend a night in the haunted 2nd floor room of the building. The landlord of the building reluctantly allowed him to stay in the room. Warboys was armed with a pistol and had a cord nearby that triggered a bell in the landlord’s room. 45 minutes after the clock struck midnight, a shot rang out in the room as Warboys fired his pistol. The landlord heard the shot and ran into the room only to find Warboys, dead and holding the pistol that had fired. The landlord “noted that Warboys’ lips were peeled back from his clenched teeth in a grimace of horror and eyes seemed to be literally bulging from his skull”. He could only assume that the man had a run-in with the Nameless Thing of Berkley Square. -- source link
