Gigantopithecus Part 1
This massive creature existed 9 million years ago to as recent as 100,000 years ago. Teeth and jawbones have been found primarily in China, India and Vietnam. Fossil records indicate it was the largest known primate that ever lived. 9.8 ft tall, 1190 to 1320 lbs. Some disagree asserting that Gigantopithecus was smaller - around 5.7 ft and 400-600 lbs. These size differences can perhaps be explained by looking at the different species.
Oliver The Human Chimp
A short video is once again making the rounds. It is on a YouTube channel. Let me first say, this is NOT a bigfoot or sasquatch.
FCastle6969 is currently housing this video under the title 2016 Bigfoot captured on Trail Cam! The description of the footage reads: "Camera was strapped to a branch about 10 feet above feeder pointing down when this was caught, location near the Klamath River, Oregon/California border."
Here is the video
Giant Mummified Finger From Egypt
A grave robber claimed to have found the enormous severed finger while searching through an undisclosed tomb. He also claimed to be the owner and possessed a certificate of authenticity and X-rays of the finger.
This huge mummified humanoid finger came to light in 1988. Photographs were taken and published along with the story in a European newspaper. The finger was said to be approximately 15 inches long (38 centimeters). Researchers in Egypt stated they believed the finger came from a being over 16 1/2 feet tall (5 meters). Gregor Sporri, an entrepreneur, tried to buy the finger but was turned down by the grave robber.
Selbyville Swamp Monster
In the 1920's two men hunting raccoons headed into the Great Cypress Swamp with their dogs. Their day became rather frightening for them.
It was when their dogs suddenly froze and their tails tucked in.
"They heard something screaming, and this horrible noise started coming towards them. Rather than fire on whatever it was, they backed away. Something large and heavy continued to follow them, snapping through the branches as it came." -- Author Andy Nunez in an interview to the "Coastal Point" newspaper.
The "monster" has been most often described as large and hair-covered. Walks on two legs. It has also been said to be a ghost-like image. The deaths of livestock, the disappearance of pets, frightened hunters being chased have all been attributed to the Selbyville Swamp Monster.

Crazy Bears and Moons Coming Down From the Sky
There are some who will tell you that they believe bigfoot came from the stars. Although to some this seems to be one of the "newer" paranormal theories, stories of tall, hairy creatures and lights in the sky are not something new.
One story that has stuck in my mind during my research into sasquatch is one coming from 1888. [I made a brief reference to it in a post a couple of years ago : "Bigfoot and UFOs in Pennsylvania, part 2" February 16, 2018.] Now I'd like to tell "the rest of the story".
In 1971 the late Brad Steiger [paranormal investigator and author] received a letter from James C. Wyatt of Memphis, Tennessee. Wyatt had in his possession a copy of his grandfather's journal from 1888. In this journal, the grandfather made references to a bigfoot-type creature. Wyatt sent Steiger a copy of the journal.
Port Chatham - The Haunted Ghost Town in Alaska
Today's researchers call Port Chatham the town that bigfoot destroyed. But is that true? There is a great deal of history that surrounds this location and it doesn't necessarily mean bigfoot was behind the making of this 'ghost town'.
Let's look at some history of the location and try to put things more in perspective.
First off, the only official name of this location is Portlock. It was named for the British Naval officer Nathaniel Portlock who allegedly came ashore here in 1787. Portlock was established in the early 19th century as a cannery town, mostly dealing with salmon. The population consisted mostly of Russian and Aleuts. There was a chromite mining town nearby named Chrome.
Around 1900 an American firm brought in a fishing fleet and built the cannery. In 1921, Portlock was granted an official post office.
The Murphysboro Mud Monster
The Murphysboro Mud Monster events started in June of 1973 when a young couple (Randy Needham and Judy Johnson) were parked at a boat launch in Riverside park, next to the Big Muddy River. (The big Muddy River is a 156 mile long river that joins the Mississippi south of Grand Tower.) The two were listening to the radio deciding whether to leave or stay a little longer. Judy's father had forbid her to see Randy, which is why they were parked at this remote location. They were interrupted by the sound of what Randy described as "An Eagle shrieking into a microphone" coming from the bush along the river. Shutting off the radio to listen closer it happened a second time but this time coming with movement in bush in front of them. Randy hit the headlights and the couple saw a large foul smelling creature roughly 8ft tall, light colored hair matted with mud and walking on two legs toward the vehicle. Randy started the car and sped back toward town. After a few minutes of silence between the two they debated on whether or not to make a report to the local police. This was a forbidden romance after all and at the very least would expose them.
When they weighed what had just happened against the possible backlash they would receive for being down there together they headed straight to the police station.
Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin Lost Interview
"On October 26, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin were interviewed on
radio by Jack Webster in Vancouver, following the showing of the
Patterson-Gimlin film at the University of British Columbia that same
evening. Fortunately, John Green had a copy of the interview in his
cassette tape collection. He graciously permitted a copy of
the recording and all of his other cassette recordings as well. These
will later be added to this channel.
Until now, and after a long 53 years, the interview had not been made
public." - The Sasquatch Archives
Here is the interview
Paranormal wizard Tony Felosi was back on the Murder123 podcast with Dr.John Stamey and Robin McCray. They take a look at the highest
profile murder case of the century - Jeffrey Epstein and discuss some of the mysterious details surrounding it.
Another special guest is Dr.
Tray Dunaway, he is a surgeon and pathologist, he will weigh in on the Epstein case.
Later in the program Tony Felosi joins them for "The
Cell Block" segment with EVPs of the Manso Shepard murder case. Tony will be a regular contributor for the podcast and we want to share this aspect of our research with everyone.
While most of you know we research numerous cryptids and general weirdness, we also dive into unsolved murders, historical events, and missing person cases, just to name a few. It has not been very long ago I was personally contacted to search for a missing woman. The people knew I know the mountains very well in our area and reach out to me. We have not shared very much of this aspect of our team, but we hope to start adding some of this in the future.
Here is the Podcast
Paranormal investigator Tony Felosi joins Dr. John Stamey, Devin Tait
and guest host Robin McCray to discuss the story of Manzo Shepherd
and the events that spawned one of the most infamous trials in Harlan
County, Kentucky history.
Taking place on Black Mountain at 4,145 feet
(the tallest peak in Kentucky) in late April 1942, cab driver Joe
Christian was brutally murdered by Shepherd and his two friends.
Within
one month of the murder, Shepherd would be shot in a crowded courtroom
of 300 people and his accomplices, Sherman Clouse and Howard Hensley,
would both eventually get life sentences to avoid the death penalty.
