Puck's Passing and The Golden Funnel

 Years ago I had a beautiful and quirky long haired Siamese cat. I named him Puck. He came to us as a stray; he had been neutered, still had the stitches. No collar, no one reported him missing. He hung around our place, did not leave. So, he was ours.

He was very much attached to me, but aloof to others, including my husband. Puck would ride on my shoulders, just calmly remain perched there as I went about the day. Funny old cat. Puck preferred to be outside. He only stayed on the porch, often on a railing, Didn't stray at all. He was inside at night however.

When we moved to another house in town, Puck came with us of course. After a good long life (we figured he was about eighteen) he was clearly getting close to crossing the Rainbow Bridge. Poor Puck. 

I held Puck for hours, sitting outside on the porch. He did not want to move, and absolutely did not want to go inside. Finally, at night, I left him on the porch and I went to bed.

I was fast asleep. And had an abrupt vision/dream of a golden funnel shaped light, that was swirling upwards. I heard a tremendous yowl and saw Puck spin upwards inside the funnel of golden light. That morning, I found Puck dead on our porch. He had passed on. He wasn't ill; just old and time for him to pass on. 

About the Golden Funnel: at the time I was doing a lot of crystal and stone work. I was having a lot of psychic episodes. One night I had a dream where a child in my class, who had moved out of state, appeared to me in a tie-dyed dress, swirling around and around in the Golden Funnel. She said "Ms. Regan, I'm going to see you tomorrow!" 

The next day, there she was in her tie-dyed dress. Her and her mother had come down from Washington for a visit.

The Golden Funnel seems to be a psychic cord or opening; a doorway or portal. Not necessarily death, as with Puck, but a strong psychic connection.

Kitty Visitors

 

This happened several years ago. I had to put my cat Chelsea down. It was devastating. I cried all the way to the vet, at the vets, all the way home. I was an emotional mess.

As I was walking up the path to our porch (it was night, around 8pm) two little kittens appeared. I don't know where they came from. They were just there, on the path, sort of dancing around my ankles. One was completely black, the other completely white. They appeared to be very clean and well cared for. No collars. They didn't make a sound..

They followed me up to the steps of the porch, and then suddenly, they were gone. I didn't see them leave; I looked and didn't see them anywhere. Not in the yard, or path, or sidewalk. Just gone.

At the time, our block was a real cat street. We all knew each other's pets, who had what cat, what dog, etc. I had never seen those kittens before. Or after. The next day I asked neighbors about the kittens. No one knew anything about them. 

I always felt that those two kittens were spirits of some kind, related to Chelsea. 

Lon Strickler Interviews Ronny Le Blanc

Lon Strickler interviews Bigfoot researcher Ronny Le Blanc, of Expedition Bigfoot. Season four, episode one aired the other night.  Le Blanc believes, (as I do) that there is more to Bigfoot than just flesh and blood. Interdimensional, etc. 

Le Blanc also mentioned all the footage of interesting and weird stuff that somehow got edited out. Would love to see what has been cut from the show.

Ronny Le Blanc has had a lot of paranormal experiences, which are a treat to hear about.

Expedition Bigfoot: Season 4

 I've been watching this show since season one. I think the team has found some interesting evidence on camera. One thing that I always wonder at with research teams; why not stay for a long time in one area? (although Ron Morehead and his fellow researchers to go back to the same area in Northern California, and have gained a lot of experiences there.)  The team thinks of Bigfoot as just an animal, though Ron Le Blanc does seem to accept paranormal explanations. 

Season 4, episode 1 brought the team to Prince Wales island in Alaska. It's said the Bigfoot creatures there are more aggressive, more violent.  

Stumbling around in the dark in unfamiliar places seems dangerous, which is something the team does a lot, especially Russel Acord, who goes off on his own. (along with at least one camera man of course.) And why didn't he pick up the skin and fur sample right away instead of chasing a creature that surely was aware of him and, if it were Bigfoot, was aware of him long before Acord was cognizant of Bigfoot. Sure enough, when he returned to the spot, the fur was gone. 

Overall though Expedition Bigfoot is a good program.

Bigfoot Mapping Project

 A Facebook friend alerted me to this link: Bigfoot Mapping Project.   Fall Creek area in Lane County has a lot of Bigfoot activity. A very nice resource! Oregon, including the Eugene area, lots of sightings!

Paul Sincair's 'Wolf Lands'

 Just watched paranormal researcher Paul Sinclair's new documentary Wolf Lands on Amazon Prime.  The documentary is about the unexplained encounters with a werewolf/dog man/sasquatch (?) type being in the forests of Yorkshire.  Excellent documentary. Sinclair interviews witnesses but he also goes into the history of Yorkshire. Place names, for example. Many translate to words like wolf, or hound. It seems hundreds of years ago shamanic activity took place in the woods. Does a place hold energy? Of course it does. Whatever it is these people are seeing it's something. Something weird and huge and at a loss for a reasonable explanation. 

Other paranormal activity as well: UFOs, orbs, etc.

One thing that resonated with me: one witness described the sudden fear he felt while in the woods. He felt he was being watched, and like a switch had been turned on, as he explained it, a deep fear arose within him. Terror. Had to get out of there! As soon as he left, the fear left. Again, like someone threw a switch.

I had a similar experience, which I blogged about here in the past. A beautiful sunny day. I was taking a drive in the country, just because. I stopped at the top of a hill, pulled over to look at the view. I got out of my car. Below me, on my right, was the valley. Gorgeous view! Behind me, steep embankment, thickly wooded. Suddenly, a terrible fear entered me. It came from behind, came roiling down the hills, through the trees. It was horrible. More horrible because it was so damn weird. I was really very very scared. The message was clear: GET OUT! LEAVE! So I did. The whole thing only lasted about ten, fifteen seconds, but it was enough. For a split second I thought of staying; I'm not crazy after all, I'm not listening to some imagined thing, I'm being silly. Then I realized it was foolish to stay. This wasn't coming from me at all. It was definitely an energy, an intelligent energy, sent my way. So I got out of there fast. The fear left me completely after about a quarter mile. Everything back to normal as if nothing strange had happened at all.

Did you know? Millersburg had its own Bigfoot-style monster (maybe)

A few months ago I was interviewed for the following article by Kyle Odegard about the Conser Lake Monster in Millersburg, Oregon: Did you know? Millersburg had its own Bigfoot-style monster (maybe)

Regan Lee, a paranormal researcher from Eugene, had hoped to write a book on the creature and said she has letters in her files from residents who remember the incident.

I still hope to write the thing. Inspiration. I'll put it up as a Kindle e-book or some such. 

Why So Coy? Missing 411: The Hunted

 I watched the David Paulides  2019 documentary last night: Missing 411: The Hunted. (You can stream it on Hulu.) It started off with the expected cases of  individual hunters who went missing; their disappearances remain unsolved.  Paulides then camps out with Bigfoot researchers Ron Morehead and Scott  Nelson. Morehead and Nelson describe their experiences over the years in the area; strange noises, orbs, lights and more. The audio is eerily familiar to other recordings of Bigfoot. As are the descriptions of strange lights. These have been reported by many a seeker of Bigfoot. But not once during the Paulides interview does Morehead or Nelson say the words Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Not once. I had the distinct feeling that Paulides instructed them to not say those words.

Paulides has been coy over the years as to any connection with Bigfoot and the missing. I have no idea if the two are connected, but it seems there does seem to be some kind of relationship at times. . Paulides consistently skirts around the idea, but never comes out and suggests it as a possibility. True, it is all speculation but nothing wrong with speculation as long as it’s made clear that it’s speculation.

The documentary also includes an interview with Bruce Mcabbee’s wife, who saw a strange transparent being moving through the trees while she was sitting up in a deer blind.  She describes it as looking something like the being in Predator. Around the same time, witnesses in the town saw a UFO. A very curious encounter for sure.   

These two items concerning strange lights, UFOS, Bigfoot type voices and transparent beings don’t seem to have anything to do with the missing. They could have; it’s absolutely possible. But in the documentary it wasn’t made clear the two had anything to do with the missing hunters. And at no point did Paulides say “This is why I’m including these incidents.”  In fact, David Paulides has been downright cranky when asked about any Bigfoot connection; he’s been downright cranky if he even thinks someone thinks he did when they didn’t. Yet there are highly interesting clues that suggest a Bigfoot type connection, or something appearing as Bigfoot. An energy that is non-human and manifesting as a being that is clearly intelligent. The following are from children who went missing and were later found alive:

Three year old boy found safe after being lost in the woods for two days. The boy says he was kept safe by "a bear."

The 3-year-old boy who spent two days lost in the woods of eastern North Carolina tells his family he “hung out with a bear” for companionship while hundreds of people searched frantically in cold and rainy weather to find him. 

Lost Boy in Woods Found Safe; Hung Out with Bear

David Paulides, of the Missing 411 books, has written that missing people, including children, often happen when it rains, or has been raining. I remember a couple of survivors Paulides writes about that mention a bear or ape like creature who helped them. Bigfoot? Paulides is coy about that, but it's possible. Or, angel, spirit, who knows. Bears are hibernating this time of year. Not to mention a bear might well attack, rather than protect. But, again, who knows?

PARA-NEWS - RichardThomasBlog.com: Zoological Journalist - Richard Freeman, Considers the Question: Is Bigfoot A Man, Another Ape, An Unknown species of Bear, or All of the Above?

An excellent article by Richard Thomas on the Yeti, Bigfoot, etc. Some things were new to me; for example, the Yeti, depicted as a white haired creature and often referred to as 'the Abominable Snowman." 

The confusion comes from a mistranslation of one of the beast's many names, Metoh-kangmi, Sino-Tibetan for 'abominable man of the rocks'. It was mistranslated as 'abominable man of the snows. This is where we get the western term ‘Abominable Snowman’ from. (Richard Thomas, Para-News)

Bigfoot Video: Canada

Tim Binnall at Coast to Coast shares a video of Bigfoot  in Canada that is pretty compelling. Unless it's fake, of course. I'm always a bit suspicious when the photographer just happens to be at the one clear spot at the exact moment a Sasquatch happens to walk through. On the. other hand, it is a very realistic looking Sasquatch, color, movement, body shape, etc.

Lab Meat

 I wouldn't eat it. Too futuristic mad scientist for me. I don't eat meat anyway; just some fish and chicken or turkey. "Shmeat." The meat is created in a lab, from living animal cells. I'm reminded of that heart wrenching and horrific scene from Torchwood, where a giant living creature was kept chained in a room, and slices of its flesh taken for consumption. (Yes, I know it was fiction.)

Bigfoot Dream: BF/UFO

 Bigfoot dream the other night:

I attend a lecture about Bigfoot. It's in a classroom, old school style. Green chalkboard. A woman, about forty, is the one giving the lecture. I'm excited to go. I arrive with notebooks and journals -- all kinds of material about Bigfoot. She starts her presentation; sticks little sticky notes up all over. Her talk is okay but it's lacking something. I start to add info; she is nice about it, not at all offended. After a few minutes she says "Oh, I had no idea! That is so interesting. You need to come up here and give the presentation."

So I do. I'm so happy doing this. While at first there were only a few people attending, word gets around, and soon the classroom is standing room only. 

Then the talk turns a little weird. I start talking about UFOs in connection with Bigfoot. I have maps and eye witness accounts. This doesn't turn anyone off; but many are surprised and didn't expect this direction. 

And that, my friends, is a look inside my dreaming mind.

Why Do I Believe Bigfoot Exists if I've Never Seen One?

What's the Intrigue?

 It's interesting to think about the researcher who researches. What is their motivation? What makes a person intrigued by a topic like UFOs, or ghosts, or cryptids?

Sometimes it's because the researcher herself saw something. Something so unusual that she has to pursue it. Or the person has had a lifetime of odd experiences. (I fall into those categories concerning ghosts, UFOs, psychic experiences, but not Bigfoot. Well, even if with Bigfoot I did have one odd episode. More on that later.) And sometimes the person is a skeptic, a debunker even, who is out to disprove the existence of ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs, aliens, etc.

So why do I, who has never seen a Bigfoot, believe that the being exists? I watch just about every Bigfoot show I can. I have dozens of books on my shelf about Bigfoot. I can't get enough. Why? Someone asked me that not long ago; why am I so intrigued? 

Part of it is the mystery. I love mysteries. Part of it is the fact I have personally met many people here in Oregon who have seen a Sasquatch. People of all ages, genders, occupations . . . including teachers, doctors and psychologists. I believe them. Why would they lie? And do I think they're stupid enough, or ignorant enough, about local wildlife that they  mistake an elk or bear for a Sasquatch? Of course not.

There's the added factor of paranormal type activity connected to many Bigfoot encounters. What is going on with that?! Orbs, strange lights, cloaking, "mind speak," or telepathic communications, UFOs, black helicopters, cover-ups. All seemingly part of Bigfoot's existence. Who can resist chasing after that mystery?

There's just enough evidence to strongly suggest -- very strongly suggest -- that Bigfoot exists. Footprint casts, heat images on camera, calls, tree knocks, rock throwing, structures, synchronicities, not to mention eye witness accounts. 

My Bigfoot Encounter: Sort Of

I've written before about my odd episode concerning Bigfoot. I was inside the local New Age bookstore in Eugene discussing with the owner Stan Johnson. Stan Johnson, (deceased) lived in Sutherlin, Oregon and self-published a couple of books on his interactions with a family of Sasquatch. (They did not like to called Bigfoot, they told him.) Johnson's experiences included many telepathic communications with several Sasquatch on his ranch, and journeys inside a spaceship. Johnson's experiences included UFOs, conversations with a family of Sasquatch, and a new age version of Christianity. (I met Johnson once; he was in his eighties, I believe, but extremely vivacious. Definitely had charisma. He shook my hand; he was so strong I thought he was going to break it.)

So, the bookstore owner and I were talking about Bigfoot and Stan Johnson, when suddenly, I saw/felt a cone of light come down through the ceiling and cover us. Things were a bit blurry through this cone of light, like looking through gauze. Sounds were muffled. Colored streaks of light. I'm standing there, thinking this is very very weird. When our conversation finished, the cone shot up through the ceiling, and everything returned to normal. I mentioned this to the owner of course, who simply smiled and said "That sort of thing happens all the time when we talk about Stan."

So there it is. 

Enough "there there" for me to continue my Bigfoot studies. It might seem odd to some that I hope that there will never be undeniable proof Sasquatch exists, i.e. a dead body. Or even a live one, as in captured. I doubt either will ever happen. I sure hope not. For those that have seen a Sasquatch, no proof is needed. That's enough for me.

So I'll enjoy the journey, the process itself. I hope I am fortunate enough to see a Bigfoot some day. Whether I do or not, I will continue to believe Bigfoot exists. 

Woman's terrifying ordeal after hearing 'fairy' voices while 'stuck' in the woods - Dublin Live

This doesn't have anything to do with Sasquatch, but it's weird enough to post here because of its 'Missing 411' feeling. And there does seem to be a thread of a connection to Bigfoot in some of those episodes, with some witnesses (mainly children) describing a bear or ape like creature seen during their experience. Is this woman's experience in the woods related to the same energy, or source, as the people  in the Missing 411 cases? Woman's terrifying ordeal after hearing 'fairy' voices while 'stuck' in the woods - Dublin Live

Alaskan Killer Bigfoot: Spoiler Alert

 Alaskan Killer Bigfoot airs on the Travel Channel. It's about a team of researchers going out to Portlock, Alaska. Portlock was a booming fishing town seventy years ago but several gruesome and mysterious deaths occurred. Finally, humans abandoned the place and no one has lived there. Now, with the approval of indigenous elders, a small group was sent to Portlock in order to find proof of Nantinaq, their name for a Bigfoot type creature believed to be the possible cause of those deaths. Hoping to reclaim Portlock and once again have it inhabited, the tribe wants it safe of course. In order to do that, Nantinaq has to be vanquished.

They brought in Ron Morehead, who certainly knows his stuff. His assessment: Bigfoot is there all right. They brought in a psychic; she was too shaken up by the negative vibes of a malevolent energy and left in a hurry. They brought in a demonologist (eye roll here) and a sensitive. The sensitive was very interesting; she picked up on a lot of things that coincided with the experiences of others on the team. 

Plus, tree knocking, rock throwing, stenches and reeks, strange howls and whistles, "mind speak," feeling disoriented, unexplained lights. 

Assuming of course these were actual happenings and not made up or exaggerated stuff for para-tainment.

I usually watch these shows, and even with a grain of salt, overall accept that something very weird is going on. Assuming that what they say is true, it seems obvious there is a hugely strong presence. Whether or not it's Bigfoot, or a Bigfoot like creature, who can say. Lots of similarities with Bigfoot. Or it could be an elemental. Of course, Bigfoot could be an elemental. 

If that's the case: ticked off elemental, unliveable island, horrific deaths due to "evil" elemental/spirit/Bigfoot, why bother? Leave the thing there. Leave it alone. I know this is probably politically incorrect. The native people want their land; in order to continue survival, to have a home for the generations to come. But it seems that, while yes indeed, the indigenous peoples were there before us, it seems clear that whatever is the energy of Nantinaq has been there much longer.

In that case, let it be. Or, treat it with not just fear (you wouldn't find me looking for it) but respect. Make offerings. Gifts. Talk to it. It seems evil to you, well of course. It does to me too, if that is the cause for the murders. But from its perspective, it wants humans out of there. It's defending its space.

The next to the last episode of Alaskan Killer Bigfoot had the demonologist cleanse the forest, using a giant squirt gun filled with holy water. (I think it was a combination of rose, sage and holy water but not sure.) It reminded me of the Monty Python hunting mosquito episode. After the cleansing, everyone felt better. Only one day, with everyone feeling lighter, they decide Portlock was now safe. 

Hubris? Ignorance? Why would anyone believe that after only day, with something so old and powerful, would be vanished after a quick spray of blessed water? 

Sure enough, as the happy team leaves Portlock, full of good feelings of success, they turn back to look and  . . . Fire! 

The little shack they built as a symbol of hope and future buildings to come, was mysteriously on fire.

I wasn't at all surprised.

Next episode is the final episode. Don't know if it's the season finale, or the show finale.

Finds in the Files: Bigfoot's Strange Blood and Other Things

 I've been having fun going through the hundreds of books in our "book room." Over the years I've called it the Room of Doom, The Hell Room . . . Karyn Dolan  once suggested I call it the Room of Opportunity to change my response to the room. I used to go in there and just freak at the mess, the boxes, the sheer number of books. Overwhelmed. Once I literally fainted when I walked in there; I just couldn't. Deal. At. All. 

But some shift happened lately, thankfully. I've made a lot of progress and every day I go in there and work in the room. Actually, I think of it as play. I can't wait until I get to the point I can unleash my inner librarian and start organizing the books  -- all UFO, cryptid, paranormal and folklore related -- that I'm keeping. Not to mention the books of various genres (vintage sci-fi, westerns, detective, and being an X-Files nerd, X-Files ephemera.)

Found these gems today:

Giant Sasquatch Creature in the Pick-up

 Don't know what my subconscious was trying to tell me, but I dreamt the other night I was driving a white pick-up truck. The bed was longer than usual. Everywhere I went, I bought along with me my "Sasquatch" except it wasn't really, more of a cousin to Bigfoot. This creature was huge; a good ten feet tall, thin, with long shaggy glossy dark brown fur. It was extremely gentle. Happy to be folded up into the back of the truck and driven around.

As I go from town to town, I am irritated that no one is interested in this amazing, fantastic being. I mean, it's a damn Bigfoot! Sasquatch! Just about. Close enough. You'd think people would be curious, and want to know all about my odd creature but no. They just glance at it then move on. A few are a little scared but what do they know -- they haven't even checked it out to know to be scared or not.

Synchronicity: Husband's Bigfoot Dream

 My husband has an active dream life, as do I. But he's never had a dream that he recalls about Sasquatch. (Nor has he seen one.) But this happened: the same night I was listening to a Coast to Coast program with Darcy Weir (http://www.occultjourneys.com), which my spouse did not know I was listening to -- he had an intense dream about a Bigfoot. 

He told me the Bigfoot was a good eight to nine feet tall. Scary, incredible, and the BF came across the water. Wading, up to his waist, across the water. Plus, Jim dreamt he was a woman. He/she and others were watching the Sasquatch come across the water, towards them. The BF was scary, they were hiding as they watched the Sasquatch being ripped apart people. Jim did not know why the BF was doing this. 

No, I don't think this is any magic demonic omen. Simply an interesting bit of synchronicity regarding images and timing.

Is Sasquatch a Tulpa?

 Are some Bigfoot sightings sightings of a Tulpa? Kind of a moot point, because, if witnesses see a Bigfoot, then, well, you have a Bigfoot. But the reason, in some cases, for the creature's existence is what's interesting.

In an article on Tulpas by Joshua P. Warren, he has this to say in context of Bigfoot:

This phenomenon of living, conscious humans creating apparitions through mental focus is what the Tibetans have long called tulpas. The extent to which these tulpas are actually alive and free, versus trapped in the initial mold which created them, is a blurry and complex subject. No one knows for sure. However, their existence might explain why strange creatures like bigfoot are clearly observed, but are fleeting visions, obviously not part of the normal, biological chain of creatures on this planet. In other words, if I buy a piece of property and say there is a bigfoot living there, after enough years, people will actually begin to see him. But GOOD LUCK capturing him! He would be a psychic impression, an extension and projection of the mental picture, somehow externalized and burned into the conscious-sensitive medium of the environment.  (Warren, 

Warren's article is about Tulpas and how to create them. Interesting read. I would suggest that if you are going to try to do this, you protect yourself, spiritually, and be very clear on your intent.

House Fairy Strikes Again, Maybe . . .

 The other day, came in from grocery shopping. Hands full, purse slipping down, jacket in a tangle, bags of groceries. I didn't want to put everything down to move the exercise bike out of the way so I could put my glasses in the basket where I keep them. Basket was on other side of the bike. So I set the glasses down somewhere -- and said to myself "Hmm, better not, you'll forget." Then I said to myself "Oh you won't forget. Just get this stuff put away."

Of course, later that day, I couldn't find my glasses. I looked everywhere. And of course, Jim said to me every few minutes "Where did you put them last?" Yes dear, that helps. 

Three days go by, can't find my glasses. Jim looked, I looked. Nowhere. We both even checked the basket where I keep them, not there. 

I finally had it. I said to my guides, the angels, the house fairy/elf: "Please! This is your job! Help me find my glasses! Give me a clue, send me a nudge, come on!"

I don't know why, but today I looked once again in the basket, and yes. There they were. Just right there, on top. I swear they were laughing at me.
