Strange how something that began like a horror
story and ended in a tragedy is now the subject of a town festival in
Point Pleasant, West Virginia, but then this seems to be a pretty
typical human response to tragedy. Yes, this is the annual Mothman
shindig and Nick Redfern, who was one of the speakers, tells all of us
who could not make it just how lively an event it was. Unfortunately,
there were no reports of the ghost of John Keel being seen, and no MIBs
either…except for no-other-clothes-but-black Nick himself. Of course you
would have come across a few wannabe Mothmen there, just as you can
come
Face to Face with Bigfoot at the International Cryptozoology Museum!.
Bigfoot Evidence is pretty damned excited and
so are we after taking a closer look at this new enhancement from MK
Davis. He's isolated a frame in the Patterson-Gimlin film that very
clearly shows the bottom of Patty's foot and her very detailed toes. It
would have been next to impossible to engineer a costume with such
detail back in the 1960s. It seems highly unlikely that a costumer
designer would pay such great attention to the bottom of the feet of
this costume, since all the attention would be drawn to Patty's upper
body and head. The debate over the validity of the Patty footage has
raged for years but this new enhancement definitely strikes a huge blow
in favor of the "it's real" camp. On a less serious but no less
fascinating note, here's a list of
North American monsters that need their own horror movies,
including the Wendingo, Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, Jersey Devil,
and the Pope Lick Monster--all of whom have been woefully neglected in
the monster movie genre. (Caution: This site is an addictive rabbit-hole
of time suckage so don't blame us if you lose an hour or two here
reading "just one more article.")
Barb Shupe (Sqauatchin' With Barb & Gabby)
and friends have a perplexing encounter with something in a
Sasquatch-heavy area of the Cascade Mountains that was captured on
video. As is often the case with Sasquatch videos, the results were even
more confusing as the footage does not show the same thing they saw
live. Barb and her companions saw a small, black "monkey-like" creature
climb down out of a nearby tree and dart away. On video there's nothing
but a strange shimmery disturbance in the air which reminds us of the
movie
Predator's invisibility cloaking method.
Cloaking isn't the only talent Sasquatch uses in its close encounters
with us dangerous humans, however. According to Australian Yowie
researcher Tony Duffy, the creatures are sometimes very chatty...or at
least in the Gympie area of the Outback, as he claims that
"They're out there and I've spoken with them."
Duffy not only had a sit-down conversation with one but also met the
friendly Yowie's mate and offspring! Tony Duffy is not alone in his
experiences--
researcher Jack Lapseririts claims that Sasquatch are advanced humans with UFO connections
and are not only friendly and talkative, but are also here to help
us. He also says that Sasquatch have two separate groups, the typical
creature with hair covered faces and also another type with hairless,
very human-like visages that Lapseririts calls the "Ancient Ones".
Whether you believe him or not, at least folks like Duffy and
Lapseririts are on the right track with urging people to begin
conservation efforts to protect the endangered Yowie/Sasquatch, which is
a lot more than we can say for these so-called
"men" determined to kill Bigfoot
in an effort to protect the public from this giant menace...that
would never "threaten" humans if said humans didn't wander into their
territory deep in the woods in the first place. This is an upcoming show
on Destination America that we will share no more information about.
Consider this a public warning to avoid it.
Hairy hominins go by many different names,
bigfoot, sasquatch, yeti, yowie, and Elizabeth Armstrong Moore wants to
introduce us to Russia's
almas. Andrei Stroganov says he has
proof, and an admonition that these giants need to be protected from
humans, rather than the other way around. Twice as startling is the tale
of Sujith Lakmal Jayaratne, a
Child Who Curses Like A Bootlegger,
his purported past-life incarnation. Datapoints include anachronistic,
and salty, language, his phobias, and pretending to be a drunk. Does
this mean he was the notorious Sammy Fernando? Tara MacIsaac has the
rest of the story so you can judge for yourself. At last, we join Steve
Vernon along the windswept, gray shores of Quebec in hopes of spotting
The Phantom Ship Of Chaleur Bay.
When the weather and light are just right, one can see the ancient,
flaming hulk plying the waves along the horizon. Just beware of any
misfortune that may befall you upon catching a glimpse.
