Delhi Monkey Man Panic (2001)

In May 2001, New Delhi experienced reports of a mysterious monkey-like creature attacking people at night, described as about four feet tall with black hair, a metal helmet, claws, glowing red eyes, and buttons on its chest. Theories about the creature ranged from a Hindu god's avatar to an Indian Bigfoot or a cyborg with a motherboard under its chest fur. Panic led to injuries, with two or three people reportedly dying from jumping off buildings or falling down stairs in an attempt to escape the perceived attacker.
