Shadow Figure Captured in Photo
We recently took a trip to Michigan. We spent a day or so of that trip at Lake Huron. The scenery was nothing short of amazing.
Late of the evening, it was basically dark or dusty dark, so we decided to walk down to the docks and take some night videos and pictures.
In one set of photos, there appears to be a shadowy figure on top of the building. I'm not sure what it is, if anything. I made a short video showing the pictures and the figure.
Here it is

Can Bigfoot Camouflage?
Some people discard the notion of sasquatch or bigfoot being able to camouflage. It is considered something impossible or supernatural. In other words : Fiction.
But stop and think for a moment. While we as humans manufacture ways to blend in with nature and our surroundings, nature provides a way to blend in for many of those who live outside of paved surfaces.
We have seen the photograph of the giraffe hiding in the stand of trees. And we have heard how zebras and tigers are striped to blend in.

MOUNTAIN HAINTS SERIES Continues
Unsolved murder of Pine Mountain School Teacher Lura Parsons Remains One Of Kentucky's Greatest Mysteries 100 Years Later
(This is a two-part story. The second installment will be shared next week.)

(As Published In The Tri-City News)
HARLAN, KY - The shrill whistle of a steaming locomotive pierced the mountain silence 100 years ago on the Poor Fork of the Cumberland River in Harlan County. It was a train carrying Pine Mountain Settlement School teacher Lura Parsons and a prominent and politically aligned Kentucky state assistant veterinarian on board. Although it is claimed the two did not know each other, they were both headed across Pine Mountain to the settlement school when the train stopped at the L & N station in the community of Dillon, which was located near what is now known as Laden, between Putney and Totz On Sept. 7, 1920, Parsons was returning from a vacation break she had spent with her family in Garrard County, Kentucky and the state assistant veterinarian, Dr. C.H Winnes, was traveling to Pine Mountain Settlement School to test cattle for tuberculosis. While the two reportedly did not know each other at the time, both Parsons and Winnes would go down in the annals of Kentucky history as being a part of one of the state’s most horrific, sensationalized, and mysterious murders.

Early Fuld Ouija Board |
The History of the Ouija Board (Part 1)
Most people think of the Ouija board as a Victorian séance tool or just a Parker Brothers game board. They see them used in the movies and have a good scare fest as the board summons demons and evil spirits that try to take over the people using the board.
But there is much more to this device than most know. Its origins reach back into history -- diving deep into man's desire to reach loved ones who have died or his desire to know what happens when we die.
First, let's take a look at the most recent history of the Ouija Board -- how it became a popular game/psychic tool in the United States.

The Michigan Triangle
Some may not have heard much about it, but there is an area on Lake Michigan that is often called the Michigan Triangle. It has many similarities to the more famous Bermuda Triangle. The Michigan Triangle spans from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to Ludington, Michigan, and south to Benton Harbor. It is home to numerous mysterious events and disappearances.
Everything from sunken ships to missing airplanes has been blamed on this strange area of the lake. Some say there is something very odd going on and that it is a risk to cross this section of the lake. In 2007 there was a discovery that many think might shed some light on the strange events.
Here is a short video about The Michigan Triangle

Of all the cryptids believed to exist on the planet, you might be surprised by which one I find to be the least likely to exist. At least by the definition of this cryptid that people think they’ve seen. And this is the fabled chupacabra or goat sucker believed to be responsible for brutal, bloody livestock attacks and mutilations. But I’ll tell you why I feel this way.
In many cases of supposed sightings, witnesses see or photograph a creature that is hairless, gray or black, and doesn’t look to them like any known animal. But disease and deformity can cause any creature to appear different than it normally would.

Why Your Heart May Be A “Paranormal” Organ
By Dorraine Fisher
There’s an old joke that tells us all to think with our brains more because our hearts are stupid. But real research about the nature of our hearts may indicate that it might be the other way around.
Ancient Egyptians, during their embalming and mummification process of the dead, took great care in removing most of the organs from the body and storing them separately in earthenware jars. But in order to avoid damage to the head and face of the deceased, they pulled the brain out through the nose in small bits. In a process where they took great care in preserving a person’s body for the next life, it seems they regarded the brain as less important than other organs. And certainly less important than the heart, which was carefully left intact inside the body. It was believed that the heart was the central part of a person’s entire being, knowledge, wisdom, and consciousness. Did they know something we, to this day, still don’t know? Scriptures and ancient spiritual teachings make almost no references to the brain but many references to the heart. Why?

The paranormal community is full of cat-owners. And some of them make some interesting claims about their mysterious furry friends. They claim their cats are able to see into other dimensions or can simply see ghosts or other kinds of beings that humans can’t see. I myself am not a cat owner at present, but I have had cats in the past, and they do seem to have a certain sense of knowing that humans don’t have. And, in my experience, they often did seem to be watching something around them that I was unable to see. And just staring into their eyes can give you a sense of mystery. They do have a look that says, “I know something you don’t know.” And nearly every cat owner I know has a story about their “psychic” felines.

It’s not often we see a new video depicting the supposed Men In Black, but it’s interesting when we do. And this video is no exception. It was brought to my attention by Collective Evolution’s blog this week and it’s well worth a look.
Said to have been taken by a security camera in a law office in Anchorage, Alaska and submitted to Apex TV on Youtube, the video shows footage of the receptionist appearing to have an interaction with this “being” and then walking off with him, never to be seen again. According to the story, the receptionist is still missing, but this story, of course, can’t be confirmed, adding to the mystery.

It's time for another episode of The Crypto Files. In this episode, we take a brief look at five cases where the person seems to have vanished without leaving behind any clues.
There are numerous disappearances where people vanish without a trace. There are currently a lot of open missing persons cases in the United States. We hope this video can if nothing else, bring some awareness to the cases presented.
Here is the video.

The history and stories behind these two haunted dolls are pretty interesting and I'm guessing some do not know about it. While both dolls may have had humble beginnings, things sure changed.
Here is the episode, we hope you enjoy it.

Goblin Shark attack |

A rare Goblin Shark was caught recently by a shrimping crew off the coast of Florida, it has brought the beastly looking creature to the forefront. This strange creature can reportedly live at depths of more than 4,265 below the surface. This rare catch was released by the shrimping crew shortly after it's capture.
According to Theepochtimes.com "Carl Moore, one of the shrimpers, said that he was trawling for royal red shrimp south of the Marquesas Keys April 19 when he netted the 15-foot goblin shark."
Some Goblin Shark Facts -
* Teeth - The teeth are very long and narrow with single cusps in both jaws. There are 26 in the upper jaw and 24 in the lower jaw.
* Body - The body is uniformly pale white or pinkish, this is caused by blood vessels just under the translucent skin.
* Other Names - Elfin Shark, Requin Lutin and many others.
Just by watching the animated picture at the top of the page, it reminds me of the movie Alien with Sigourney Weaver, where the alien creature had the extra set of teeth and mouth inside of it's mouth.
This odd shark is pretty creepy but fascinating all at the same time.
I can only image what kind of "Monster" tales came from the first sightings of this creature.
Thanks
~Tom~
