P-G "Patty" Shot?

That's one story that's attached itself to the Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot film and has been around for awhile. Read more on Cryptomundo.

Bigfoot, Sasquatch Sightings and Eyewitness Testimony


The Wildman of Kentucky Rock.
This came to my email; it's from something called Reality Entertainment. One of the narrators reminds me of the narration from those black and white films they showed us in elementary school in the 1950s.

Dig the "Sosquatch" pronounciation, lol.

The orb type light is curious; no idea what it is. Or, isn't.

Two New BF Threads on JREF


This one's called "Bigfoot Found!" and guess what, no really, guess. . . they're mocking Bigfoot! Hard to believe I know.

This makes something like sixteen threads about Bigfoot on the JREF.

But wait, that's not all. There's another one: "Moneymakin'! The BFRO Bigfoot Expeditions Thread."

Believe It! Tour

I received this email today from someone with the Believe It Tour. I'm not sure, exactly, just what they want us all to believe: I've only done a quick skim of their site. Maybe I'm getting old (well, yes, I am getting old. . .) but the cynic in me popped up right away. I wondered if this had anything to do with religion; sort of a "Bigfoot for Jesus" kind of thing. And then I wondered if Tim Biscardi has anything to do with this.

It does seem like a fun idea, if it's just people going aorund collecting stories of the paranormal and Forteana, connecting with others, etc. IF that's what it is. Too early in the morning to delve into it.

See for yourselves, but whatever it is, it's interesting. If anyone knows more, let me know, thanks!

Lizard Man in Colorado?

Followed this link on The Anomalist: The Mysterious Entity That Scared Investigators Was it the Lizard Man?,by Brent Raynes, relates the experiences of a strange "Lizard Man" in Colorado. A bit of synchronicity, because I'm reading Chris O'Brien's third book in his mysterious Colorado series: Secrets of the Mysterious Valley, about the San Luis area and its long history of high strangeness: UFOs, UADs, hauntings, and much more.

Speaking of Animals Gone Mad: Black Squirrels

The black squirrel, an aggressive squirrel taking over the planet and behaving badly all around, in Engladn and elsewhere:

When Animals Go Mad: Attack of the Ravens


About ten years ago, I started keeping a file of accounts to do with unusual and bizarre animal behavior. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the information; I remember discussing it with a professor of folklore of mine, but I couldn't come up with anything. Eventually I stopped adding to my file, but I'm still interested in these accounts.

Here's one, about ravens attacking sheep, cattle and other livestock.

High Strangeness on the Ranch

I have an article up at UFO Digest: High Strangeness on the Ranch, comparing a Colorado ranch and the Skinwalker ranch. Among the strange things seen on the ranches were Bigfoot type creatures.

Man-Monkey

Man-Monkey, by Nick Redfern, arrived in the mail yesterday, and I got right into it. Enjoying it very much so far, and it's nice to "hear" Nick's voice come through; he writes about himself, a sort of self-reflexive tone, which I like.

I also ordered the third "Mysterious Valley" book by Chris O'Brien, who writes of mysterious events in Colorado.

I'll post more when I finish Redfern's book. (I'm still working on things inspired by Andrew Colvin's Mothman book.)

Monkeys on Mars


Greg Bishop on UFO Mystic as a comment and link to more about plans to send primates to Mars, in order to test for such things as effects of radiation on humans, etc. I find this very disturbing. Aside from the moral and ethical issues about using primates in this way, are all the usual theories and conspiracies about Mars: what's really going on up there that they aren't telling us, our Mars legacy, etc.

The Honey Island Swamp Monster

Stories of three toed and clawed "Bigfoot" are a variation in Bigfoot phenomena. The Honey Island Swamp Monster is one such creature.

Here's a recent item about the "monster"
with background and info about tours in the area. Hat tip to The Anomalist.

Richard Dolan on FOX

This isn't a Bigfoot or crypto item, but it's of interest to those keeping track of UFO news:

Here's the link to Richard Dolan's appearance on Fox yesterday morning. Thank you Karyn Dolan for sending the link. Karyn Dolan encourages people to let Fox know what they thought of Richard's segment; would viewers want to see more like this, what's their take on the whole thing, etc.

Micah A. Hawks: Facing Our Deepest Fears: Monsters Below the Earth

Well written and interesting piece about crypto creatures, like Bigfoot, etc. that may dwell beneath us, and we're not talking about earthworms either.

I posted this here because of the ideas that Bigfoot lives within moutntains, like Mt. Shasta, deep in, and under, caves and within the earth, coming up from creekbeds for example, using waterways as ways of traveling.

I tried to leave a comment but you have to register first, and even though I have a WordPress blog, I can't remember what the hell it is. Anyway, good item and nice blog overall!

Bigfoot's Glowing Eyes



I finally got around to ordering Nick Redfern's Man-Monkey: In Search of the British Bigfoot. Should be here in a day or two. Nick has an item up at his blog about the glowing eyes often seen in Bigfoot encounters. Other creatures have these glowing eyes -- often red, or orange, -- as well. As Nick points out, Kithra has a good piece on this phenemona. (Link at his blog.)

Orbs, glowing eyes, and transparent, dematerializing Bigfoot. What to make of it all?

New BF Thread on JREF

This one is about a hoax in Montana. They have fifteen (I believe) threads over there, all discussing how Bigfoot doesn't exist. I think that's pretty funny.

As I've commented before, for a subject that invites ridicule from the skeptic crowd, they sure spend a lot of time discussing it.

Bigfoot in South Carolina?

Bigfoot in S.C.? | Experts: ‘it’s the real deal’
‘It’ attacked a van in Bishopville and attracted a Bigfoot-hunting team to the state
By RANDY BURNS - The (Sumter) Item

BISHOPVILLE — Something apparently attacked Bob and Dixie Rawson’s van in the early morning hours of Feb. 28.

The Rawsons live about two miles southeast of downtown Bishopville. They woke up Feb. 28 to find the front fender of their 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan chewed up, bite marks through the front grill, wheels on both sides bitten and metal crumpled in a wad. There was also blood on the front and sides of the car.

Team Biscardi was quick to move in:
After the Rawsons contacted a Columbia TV station, the story was aired on CNN. In March, filmmaker and self-proclaimed Bigfoot hunter Tom Biscardi and his five-man team visited Bishopville to discover the truth of the Lee County incident.

Equipped with thermal imagers and high-tech cameras, Biscardi conducted initial forensic tests and sent the evidence to California. The team also planned to use its cameras overnight in search of the creature.

The initial evidence found by Biscardi’s team is compelling, he said. “You’ve got the real deal here.”

While Biscardi hasn’t ruled out it was a bear, he thinks it was more likely a Bigfoot. “They’re called different names in the different communities,” he said.

Hmmm, like "bear?" Okay, that wasn't fair. I acknowledge I pick on Biscardi. Maybe it's something definitive maybe not. We'll have to see.

It is interesting about the three toes; there are Bigfoot type creature sightings with three toes, as well claws.

Why a Bigfoot would chew up a van -- just seems silly. A bear, maybe, trying to get at some food. Who can say.

I do want a Lizard Man tee shirt though.
