Monsters and Devil Names Cryptomundo

Loren Coleman points out the relationship between some place names and events that fired the imagination of the settlers who named the places. Such a place is La Laguna de Diablo, now known as Elizabeth Lake, in California. The lake was originally named for the belief a monster inhabited its waters. Having established the Fortean link between place names and events, Coleman offers a short review of Henry Franzoni's new "groundbreaking" book that looks into, among other things, the connection between Seatco (Sasquatch) activities and place names. Includes a short description of Franzoni's book, In the Spirit of Seatco. Meanwhile, Regan Lee believes there's a connection between words and actions that takes on a Fortean factor, as she reveals in "Lethal Removal": Twilight Language Embedded in Industrial Animal Sacrifice at Oregon L.O.W.F.I. Elsewhere, "Suspicious Animal Sightings" signs have gone up around Tallman Mountain State Park, as explained in Mystery Black Cat Sightings Around NY Park.

North America's Elusive Babyfeet - Part 1 ShukerNature

Dr. Karl Shuker takes a swing across the North American continent to report on the legends and lore of the Native Americans, many tribes of which have tales of the small beings, sometimes dressed as diminutive Indians, who hunt at night, communicate with birdsong and can account for the observer's lost time. But Native Americans aren't the only ones who've seen evidence of these little people. Many others have seen the small human tracks left behind by the beings who've given their name to such places as Babyfoot Lake Botanical Area in Oregon. Elsewhere, other diminutive beings are the subject as the fossils collected and named Homo floresiensis are still under study, and researchers now say the Hobbit Brain Was Small, But Organized for Complex Intelligence. Meanwhile, Mori discusses a video (included) that apparently shows Robot and Giant Squid: Ultimate Battle.
