Here’s a chilling tale of a monster from outer space…

A woman claims she has kept an alien in her freezer for two years after its module crash landed outside her house. Marta Yegorovnam wrapped the two-foot long body with a huge head and stick-like arms in plastic and hid it away.

She finally revealed her “secret” to the authorities and the pictures have sparked an internet frenzy with stargazers claiming they are proof there is other life out there.

Marta told investigators she found the alien after hearing a crash outside her home at Petrozavodsk, Russia, in 2009.

She claimed the body lay among the burning wreckage of a UFO.

Paranormal writer Michael Cohen said: “This could be an elaborate hoax, however the possibility it might be an alien should not be discounted. Russia is a hotbed of UFO activity with craft being tracked.”

And let’s face it, we’ve all put stuff in our freezers and forgotten about it.
