Around The Campfire - The Paranormal World & How Your Mind Plays Tricks (Ep8)

Welcome to episode 8 of Around the Campfire. It's been kind of a long while since our last episode but after watching this one, I think you will find it worth the wait. You know the human mind is a fascinating thing. It can do things that we just don't understand or even realize. Dorraine lists 5 quirks of the human brain that can mess with our perception.

Here is episode 8

Monday, June 27, 2016


We all know that Florida is home to a large diversity of animals, but is it home to lake monsters?
I recently got a report in, which is an older sighting, of what the witness describes as a lake monster. So, I got to looking at possible lake monsters in Florida and there is a few of them. You have the Lake Clinch monster, that some say is 30 foot long and has a humped back. Then there is Muck monster that has been seen in Lake Worth Lagoon. Plus there is St. Augustine monster and a few others as well. Florida has numerous lakes, lagoons, rivers and streams that some say are all interconnected thanks to underground tunnels. So there is a history of sightings in the state.

Here is the recent report that I received.

- Start Report -

Name: Mark

Email Address: On file

State: Florida

County:
Saint Johns

Date of Sighting:
1978 or 1979

Time of Day: 11 am

Nearest Town: ? North part of the bay

Length of Sighting:
15 seconds

How many Witnesses: Just me

Any Photos/Videos: No

Describe sighting in detail:


A friend and I took his father's boat out to drink beer and water ski. He was driving, I was in the back looking back. We were fairly close to some shoreline to the east moving at near top speed. I was looking at the shoreline and within I would say 50 feet I saw a serpent with two humps swimming north.

It was, I would guess, 20 to 25 feet long and 1+ foot diameter. The thing that was very identifiable was the color. It was dark brown with mustard yellow spots that were pretty big. I watched it as we went south and it went north, at first it was like wtf, then I closed my eyes and opened them again and of course it was still there.

It all happened so fast that I was afraid if I told my friend that by the time he heard me and turned around to look (he was being very careful concentrating on driving so close to the shore) it would be gone. So I just kept my mouth shut and hadn't told anyone until years later. I'm just relating this now because I was doing some research on other sightings to see if any matched up. I saw your sight and am reporting this to someone who may find the data interesting. Sorry I don't have a lot of facts like date/year, exact location or image but I tell you it's true.


- End Report -


Thanks goes to Mark for the report. In my limited research of lake monsters in Florida, it seem there was a lot of reported sightings in the late 70's. So, Mark's sighting seems to fall right in a peak time with other sightings. It should be noted that Mark was from another state and had drove into Florida for a visit, and that is probably why he was unfamiliar with names and exact locations.



Thanks

Scary Apparition In Japanese WW2 Mine

There’s nothing like the long wars of our historic past to leave so many dead along with lingering spirits wandering aimlessly in these often downright creepy locations. And the mountains of Japan among the mine ruins of WW2 are at the top of the list of those locations.

Fearing serious radiation leaks in an old WW2 mine, Japanese engineers sought out to investigate a mine near several leaking reactors. But as they videotaped the investigation, they got more than they bargained for. Their cameras started to malfunction as they entered the lower tunnels and electronic voice phenomenon (EVP’s) can be heard on the sound recordings and is said to be saying “I will kill you” in Japanese. The deepest part of this tunnel is said to be approximately 1500 feet deep into the mountain and can be accessed by steps or wooden slides, as you’ll see in this clip. And a very clear ghost/ apparition of a shirtless man appears in front of them. 

Tell us what you think. Real or fake?

The Eugene Johnson show - The Haunted Cabin

Welcome to episode 2 of the Eugene Johnson Show! In this episode, Eugene has some stories from his days playing with his cousin, when he was a kid. His cousin, Melody, lived in a cabin that had been expanded and turned into a home. The only thing was that the cabin was very old and somewhat haunted.
There is also a bigfoot story thrown in, just to round it out.

Here is episode 2

Friday, June 24, 2016


As some of you may know a few days ago I saw a UFO. I posted about it (here) and also told about my sighting on video (here). Well, today I thought I would take some time and see if I could find a sighting that was similar to what I saw and I was able to find something really close.

I found a video shot by journalist Raul Puma of an object that looks almost exactly like what I saw. The only thing that I think was a little different is that, what I saw appeared to be a little more round.  Puma shot his video in the state of Vilcabamba, city of Pucyura.


Here is Raul Puma's video of the UFO.


yep, that is almost identical to what I saw. I'm glad Puma was able to capture this on video as I was unable to.

I had not seen this video prior to my sighting. Some have suggested that his was part of some program by Google, called Loon. I do not think what I saw was associated with Google at all. What I saw became see-thru and then disappeared. I doubt Google has something like that floating around the sky. 

Thanks

In this 13th episode, I talk about a recent possible bigfoot track that was found and about the bigfoot drone footage. I tell about my recent UFO sighting and then go off course and talk about some current events like the Orlando shooting and the little boy/alligator event.

Here is this episode.

Bigfoot Track Report Investigation

I recently got word of a possible bigfoot track being found very close to me. The area has a nice recent history of bigfoot sightings. I loaded up my gear and used my ATV to go check out the area where the track was found. I also searched some other locations for more tracks.

Here is a short video of some of the fieldwork conducted.

Saturday, June 18, 2016


Today I decided to ride the ATV and follow up on a track find report (more on that later). But, with it being a beautiful day, I also wanted to spend some time looking for tracks other than the reported one. So, I rode my ATV to various spots and scanned around for tracks and other signs of bigfoot.
After several hours I decided to come home and this is when the UFO sighting happened.

I was on my a ATV going down a steep hill, after all I was on top of the mountain. I had just stopped a little before this and took a few pictures, that is one of them at the top of the page. As I'm going down the hill, I looked up at the sky to my left and that is when I seen what I can only describe as a UFO. The object was silver but with the sun reflecting off of it it was really bright. The object was kind of making a rounded curve, like the yellow line in the picture above. Then the object kind of straightened it's flight path and was moving away from me. The object should have been visible for a long ways as it moved away from me. But the object became transparent and then vanished complete. While it was transparent it was still moving away from me.

Momo Monster (Original Photo by Corey and Tye)Mock up photo for reference only.


Back in 2015, researchers Corey and Tye, had what the believe to be an encounter with the Momo.
For those who may not know the term Momo here is some info about it.
Momo is the name of a local legend, similar to the Bigfoot, which is reported to live in Missouri. The name Momo is short for 'Missouri Monster' and it is reported to have a large, pumpkin-shaped head, with a furry body, and hair covering the eyes. The Momo was first reported in July 1971.

Well, just a few days ago, I got some messages from Corey and Tye and they think that the Momo maybe be back in their research area.
Here is some of what they reported to me.

Weird Lights on Game Camera

I recently picked up my game cameras from my bigfoot research area. While going through the footage I noticed one of the game cam videos has a couple odd lights. The only thing I can figure out is that it may be a spider web and it is reflecting the light from the camera. There does not appear to be much if any wind.

Just thought I would share it.
Here is the video.

I got the following report in a couple days ago. Riding ATVs and gathering up way back in the mountains is a common activity here in the mountains of Kentucky. I have friends that do this almost every weekend. Even if they don't gather up and party, they ride for hours and sit around talking. So, this kind of activity, riding ATVs and gathering up, increases the chances that someone might see or hear a possible bigfoot.

This report comes from Pike county, Ky. Pike county is Kentucky's easternmost county, it is also the state's largest county in terms of land area. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 789 square miles, of which 787 square miles is land and 1.8 square miles (0.2%) is water.

Here is the report.

I got the following report in a couple days ago and wanted to share it. It is an interesting report of an unknown object in the evening sky.

Here is the report.

-Start Report-

Name: Christine *******

Email Address: On file

State: WI

County: Waushara

Date of Sighting: Nov 17 2004

Time of Day: approx 7:15pm

Nearest Town: Borth...actual sighting in Borth

Length of Sighting: approx 1 min

How many Witnesses: just myself

Any Photos/Videos: no

Describe sighting in detail:
We have a 5 acre horse farm in a very small unincorporated town. That evening I had gone out to feed the horses. I didn't turn on the barn isle lights that night because the moonlight was shining bright at the end and provided me with enough light to make my way. I went down the isle and stopped to cut open a bale of hay. I grabbed about half of it putting it on my right shoulder and walked out the doorway of the isle. I walked towards the left and was about to toss the hay over the fence when I realized I could hear the horses eating (my husband had fed them before he left for a meeting, not telling me he had) So I turned to my right to go back into the barn, I was looking down at first watching my step as it was dark and I hadn't turned the lights on. As I came almost full around to my right I caught the lights out of the corner of my eye.
I stopped walking and turned my head, then my body and took several steps forward looking at these lights trying to comprehend what I was seeing. I got to the other fence line and had to stop walking, still with the hay on my shoulder. It took a few seconds for me to think...no way, it cant be...I was looking at these orangeish balls of light that at first appeared to be in a straight line, with 2 additional balls of light slightly smaller and to the upper left of the others in the line...the lights had a pulse to them..or movement..its hard to describe...if you've ever seen that sort of heat vapor the rises off hot black top, that's the closest way to describe the movement in the lights..and orange ish is the best color choice, it wasn't like any color orange I have seen though.

This is where it got super weird for me...I spoke out loud to myself in just above a whisper...I said..WTF is that..and no sooner did the words leave my mouth those lights started to go out one by one in rapid succession from right to left...that's when I realized it was circular shape and not a straight line. I could see as it came around from the backside right. I'm going to guess it was a couple hundred yards away and maybe 30 to 40 off the ground..the length of the lights was about 7-8 inches in my line of sight..my son tells me that mathematically that many inches in my sight would either make it very large and far away or smaller and very close by...I will go with the close by as it absolutely heard me speak to myself in just above a whisper tone. I dropped the hay on the ground and took off running back up the isle and into the house.

My 15 yr old daughter was the only other person home at the time. I was stumbling over my words trying to tell her what had just happened. I grabbed a piece of paper and drew out the shape of the lights..she looked at me and said holy sh*t that's exactly what I saw...she and a friend had told me back in Sept that they had seen a UFO in the field behind our barn in broad daylight..I thought they were just pulling my leg and I teased them all night about it. Apparently they were telling the truth.

-End Report-

I have emailed to Christine in hopes of obtaining the sketch she made. If I can acquire it , I will update this post.
A special thanks to Christine for submitting her sighting to us.

If anyone else seen this object or had another sightings, please use the link at the top of the page and file it with us.

Thanks

On a recent research trip to East Bethany, N.Y, I found three possible bigfoot knuckle prints. The prints were behind the house we were staying at during our investigation. I found three prints in line and made a casting of the best one. The possible knuckle prints were about 6 feet apart, that is what made me think it could possibly be a bigfoot.  It appeared as if it was moving along fairly good without any problems. There were also a lot of deer tracks around the possible knuckle prints.

Here is the casting and some measurements.

Well, I guess this post might seem out of sorts to some people, but over the past few days I've been thinking about my days growing up. This subject matter of my thinking back to my youth, might be of some interest to some people. Over the years, this same subject matter, has crept into my mind at various times. So, I thought I would share it with the readers today.

I can remember growing up and about this time of year, we would start seeing the June bugs. June bugs are a type of beetle or scarab, they are also sometimes called June beetle instead of June bugs. Here in my part of the world, we have the green June bugs. The green June bugs are found in the Southeaster part of the United States. I can remember, as a young boy, that the yard would be swarming with what looked like hundreds of June bugs. As kids we would catch the June bugs and tie a string on one of their back legs and fly the bug around. It was a fun thing to do back then, as there really wasn't video games or cell phones or a lot for kids to do, so we played outside. Flying the bugs around didn't seem to hurt them any and later, most of the time, we got bored and turned the June bug loose. I don't know when it happen or why it happened but one day I noticed we no longer had June bugs filling up our yards.  Oh, sometimes you might see one or two but nothing like when I was growing up. So, I often wonder what happened to them, why they no longer come in our part of the world. Is it just here, in my area, that the June bugs no longer visit or are other places also seeing little or no June bugs?

So, with me wondering whatever happened to the June Bugs, It got me to thinking about other creatures that I no longer see. Creatures that once seemed so abundant when I was growing up, but now have all but disappeared.

The Monarch Butterfly is one that we use to see all the time growing up, but now you almost never see them, at least not around here. Did the migration path change, and the beautiful butterfly now does not come our way? Are they all dead? This got me to looking into this mystery. I found that there has indeed been a big population drop in Monarch butterflies and it is predicted by some that the species will go extinct in the next 20 years. I think that is terrible news and someone should be working on re-population. I miss seeing them and I will be looking for them while out in the mountains.

Another, I wonder whatever happened to creature, is the Bobwhite. I can remember sitting on my mamaw's porch and listening to the Bobwhites make their very recognizable whistle. Along about dust, about the time us kids would stop playing, we'd be sitting on the porch and seems like you would hear the whistle every evening. But it has been years since I have heard a bobwhite. I know the little ground dwelling quail, is very vulnerable to predators but we use to have a good population of them. I wonder what ever happened to them around here. It was enjoyable listening to that famous whistle, I would like to hear it now, on the evenings I sit on the porch.

This next little fellow may not but very popular, but they serve a good purpose. Bats. I can remember playing in the yard at dust and there would be bats flying about and swooping down. There was not real large numbers, maybe 15-20 of them but compared to what we see now, it seems like a lot. I have not seen a small swarm of bats in the yard in many years. They do eat a lot of bugs, maybe that is why there seems to be so many bugs now, because there are less bats.  I can also remember fishing at one of our local strip mining ponds as a teenager and the bats would be swarming around. There would be so many of them that they (the bats) would fly into our fishing lines.

 I know, there could be many factors to why I no longer see some of these creatures. But I still miss them.

Thinking back and missing things are a part of life, I guess. But growing up and seeing these creatures, I never even thought the day would come when I would miss them or wonder what happened to them. It's funny, as you get older, you seem to appreciate things you gave very little thought about while growing up.



Thanks
