I got the following report in a few days ago. I have been really busy catching up from a much needed vacation, so it has taken me a little time to get caught up. When I first got this report and read the description of the creature, I thought it sounded like the creature seen in the cave in Tennessee. The witness also made that connection during his report. For those who may not know about the Tennessee cave story, you can find the first of several post HERE! There are several post and videos about this unknown cave creature on this website. It is very interesting.

Here is the new report, which does not take place in a cave, but does take place in Tennessee.

-Start Report-

 Name: Brady *******

Email Address: Withheld

State: Tennessee

County: Marion county

Date of Sighting: July 31, 2016

Time of Day: Night

Nearest Town: Jasper, TN

Length of Sighting: 10 seconds

How many Witnesses: 4

Any Photos/Videos: No

Describe sighting in detail:
We were walking on a trail behind our house that was on a wooded area close to a field. We saw something short and very wide walking towards us on all fours. What we saw was fairly large and had a round face like a human with little hair on the face.
It matches the description of the animal from the cave sightings in Tennessee. 

-End Report-


Now, of course we can not say or sure what this might be, but from the description it does sound similar to what was described by the witness who seen an unknown creature in a cave. In the course of our investigation of the cave creature, we think the creature could be some kind of relative to the now extinct giant sloth. Some may not know that sloth bones were discovered fairly close the the location of the cave, many years ago. It could be possible that these creatures moved into the large cave systems found in Tennessee and Kentucky. At this point we just do not know for 100 percent certainty what the cave witness saw and we do not know what this new witness saw, but we know that they sound similar in appearance.

Thanks goes to Brady for the report. Please be safe and let us know if you find any other evidence (tracks, poop..ect) or have another sightings.



Thanks

I saw this story and video over at Brazil weird news blog, and it made me think about Tennessee Cave story I have been covering for the last year or so. The cave in Tennessee had a creature seen in it. We used an old document with a picture of an unusual animal on it as reference to what was seen in that cave. We were able to determine that mostly likely the creature on the document and what the witness seen where the same creature. Turns out this creature on the document was most likely a giant sloth, the some ones that supposedly made the cave in the video below. In tracking the history of the Tennessee cave, and working with the witness, we found out in deed there was a history of sloth in Tennessee.

So all that got me to wondering if some of the chambers of the cave in Tennessee was carved by some type of giant sloth, like in this video. I do remember the witness telling me about claw marks on the cave walls. I will be showing this video to the witness to get some thoughts.

Here is the video in question.


Here is a little of what the post siad about this cave.

" .. By the shape and the dimensions of the place we believe it was excavated by giant sloths. These sloths become extinct there about ten thousand years."



And the research and investigation continues.... I'm guessing I will have another update on the Tennessee cave in the future.


Thanks

Monckton's Gazeka, also called the Papuan Devil-Pig, is a cryptid, an animal said to have been seen on Papua New Guinea in the early 20th century. It is said to resemble a tapir or giant sloth, having a long, proboscis-like snout, and some theories suggest it may be the descendant of an extinct marsupial belonging to the family Palorchestidae.

Totally separate from that cryptid (to which the name 'Monckton's Gazeka' was confusingly applied by person(s) unknown) is the 'real' Gazeka, which was the creation of the English comic actor, George Graves, who introduced it as a bit of by-play in the musical, The Little Michus at Daly's Theatre, London, in 1905. A contemporary magazine described it thus: "According to Mr. Graves, the Gazeka was first discovered by an explorer who was accompanied in his travels by a case of whiskey, and who half thought that he had seen it before in a sort of dream." Graves's idea became a fad of the season and George Edwardes mounted a competition to encourage artists to give sketches of what the beast might look like. Charles Folkard won the competition, and the Gazeka suddenly appeared in the form of various items of novelty jewellery, charms, etc., and was taken up by Perrier, the sparkling water makers, for a series of advertisements. Children attending matinée performances at Daly's during the 1905–06 Christmas holidays were presented with "a materialized Gazeka, the Unique Toy of the Season". The Gazeka also featured in a special song and dance in the entertainment Akezag, at the London Hippodrome at Christmas, 1905.
Firby-Smith, a schoolboy in P.G. Wodehouse's 1909 novel Mike, has the nickname "Gazeka" because of a supposed physical resemblance.

But, there is more relating to this creature. There was this stone, carved figure found in the Ambum river valley, which is now Papua New Guinea. The stone figure dates back to prehistoric times and many feel it could be a representation of the ctyptid Devil Pig.

The old statue.

Papua New Guinea is home to a large number of what I'd would call odd or unusual looking animals. It has many different kind of rats and bats, so are pretty large. A good number of new species is commonly found in Papua New Guinea, as well.

So, could the Devil pig be real? I think there is a good possibility that either this creature is still there or was at one time. It also has a lot of similarities with the Giant sloth, which we have some records of. Maybe it was some kind of subspecies of the giant sloth.
