Picture this: It's 2001, and instead of worrying about Y2K bugs, Delhiites were losing sleep over a mysterious, monkey-like creature reportedly terrorizing the city. Yeah, you read that right! The 'Monkey Man' panic had the whole city running scared, with reports of a furry, clawed figure leaping from rooftop to rooftop like a budget Spider-Man. The chaos kicked off in May 2001, when rumors spread of a half-man, half-monkey creature attacking unsuspecting victims at night. According to police reports, this elusive figure was said to have glowing red eyes, metal claws, and a penchant for scratching people. The creature's antics led to several injuries and even a couple of deaths, reportedly caused by people falling off buildings in a panic. Talk about a wild night out! As the hysteria spread, the good folks of Delhi armed themselves with sticks, knives, and cricket bats, ready to take on this simian specter. It even sparked the creation of vigilante groups patrolling the streets—because who needs sleep when there's a monkey monster to catch? Of course, the authorities got involved, but with no evidence or monkey man in sight, the whole situation quickly turned into a meme-worthy fiasco. Fast forward a few weeks, and the reports dwindled, leaving behind a trail of memes, conspiracy theories, and a city wondering what the heck just happened. Some say it was mass hysteria, others claim it was a prank that got out of hand, but one thing's for sure: The 'Monkey Man' of Delhi will forever be remembered as one of the wildest WTF moments in urban legend history. So, next time you hear something scratching at your window, remember—it might just be an overactive imagination, or maybe, just maybe, the Monkey Man is back for round two!
