An insect or an alien? One will never really know. Much like the legend of the Monkey Man in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh had its share of panic induced by Muhnochwa, a creature that appears at night and scratches the face of its victim. Muhnochwa, which literally translates to someone who claws your face, became such a rampant problem in some areas that the UP government urged Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur to send a team of scientists to probe into the matter. Without any concrete proof in hand, the team called it nothing but a scare among the masses.
