There has been a reported sighting this week of a strange creature in Massachussetts. This being was spotted by a person who was carrying a camera, and who captured this incredible image.

According to one scientist at the Cryptozoological Association of Massachussetts (CAM), this is the best image ever captured of the Man Genie. Closely related to the common genie, which some are familiar with from the 1960s hit TV series, "I Dream of Genie," the Man Genie has some superficial resemblance. In fact, if it were not for the far less appealing facial features, the Man Genie looks almost exactly like the common genie.

Unfortunately, the differences do not stop with mere appearances. While the common genie delights in granting wishes to the lucky discover, the Man Genie is better known for playing naughty tricks on you when encountered. The Man Genie can also be somewhat disagreeable over small things. The photographer, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims that when he photographed the Man Genie, it became agitated, and accused him of wrongdoing. "It was strange, really," the man said, "since the Man Genie actually took my picture before I took his. Does that seem fair to you?"

CAM released a statement saying that the Man Genie sightings usually cluster together, so more sightings are likely over the next couple of days. Residents and vistors to the area are warned to be cautious.
