The Crypto Files - The Brosno Dragon (Ep37)

We finally made it to episode 37 of The Crypto Files. This episode has been a long time coming due to numerous projects and things going on.

In this episode, we take a look at a long-rumored cryptid from West Russia, The Brosno Dragon.
The Brosno Dragon is a Russian Lake Monster with a very long history. The are many tales about the creature dating back centuries.

Check out The Brosno Dragon in this episode of The Crypto Files

Still frame from the video.
Sometimes, I randomly scan the internet for reports/videos of our hairy friend, Bigfoot. Well, during my recent snooping around I ran across a video that on the surface appeared pretty interesting. The video comes from Russia and appears to have been uploaded several months ago.

In a nutshell, this guy starts filming what appears to be a bigfoot. He attempts to follow it and captures it a few more times on video. The above pictures is a still frame from the video as the figure passes between two trees. The video is in Russian, so I don't know what he is saying.

Before I get into more about the video, it would probably be good if the readers watched it. I want to see if you come to the same conclusions as me.

Here is the video.

The Crypto Files - Bergman's Bear (Ep33)

The Crypto Files episode 33 looks at Bergman's bear. A supposedly very large bear that once lived in Russia. This is a very short episode but it still covers all the bases of this cryptid. This enormously large bear was identified and named by Swedish zoologist Sten Bergman.

To learn more about Bergman's bear, check out this episode of The Crypto Files.

Here is the episode.

I ran across this story and thought I would share it and give some opinion about it.
The back story is is pretty simple and believable.

Some miners were looking for diamonds and found this mummified creature deep in the mine. Reportedly the unknown creature was found in a sandy layer that dates from the Mesozoic, which would date the creature between 252 and 66 million years.

The creature, as seen in the picture, is described as being small with big teeth. The thought is that the creature became naturally mummified or preserved due to being buried and the surrounding conditions.

According to the report scientist are now trying to find out exactly what this creature might be. Some have suggested that it could be some kind of dinosaur while others have speculated that it some kind of ferret. To me, it could possible be a mink or something from the weasel family. It appears to have a tail.

Of course, this could all very well be nothing more than a hoax but it looks pretty real to me. If I was guessing I would say that it is actually a known animal and that the scientist will be able to find out what it is....but we probably will never hear about it.


Thanks

Brosno Dragon - The Brosno Dragon, also known as Brosnya (Russian: Бросня), is the name given to a lake monster which is said to inhabit Lake Brosno, near Andreapol in West Russia. It is described as resembling a dragon or dinosaur, and is the subject of a number of regional legends, some which are said to date back to the 13th century.

Many people treat the existence of Brosnya skeptically and still say that the creature may be a mutant beaver or a giant pike of 100–150 years. Others conjecture that groups of wild boars and elks cross the lake from time to time.

There are some more scientific hypotheses concerning Brosnya. One of them is a gas version saying that when hydrogen sulfide goes up from the lake bottom it makes water boil up; this boiling in its turn resembles a dragon head. But the amount of hydrogen sulfide must be considerable to produce this effect. Other version says that there is a volcano in Lake Brosno that makes ejections on the water surface from time to time. It is well known that there are several fractures at the bottom of the lake, the depth and the direction of the fractures cannot be defined. It is not ruled out that the volcano crater is inside of one of the fractures. This explains why the volcano, if it actually exists, has not been discovered yet. (limnic eruption -
A limnic eruption, also referred to as a lake overturn, is a rare type of natural disaster in which dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from deep lake water, suffocating wildlife, livestock and humans.)
 
Fishermen say that the underwater world of Lake Brosno has a structure of several levels. From time to time, burbots and yellow perch can be found in the lake. For example, herring can be found in a lake in Peno District in the Tver Region. Some consider it strange that sea fish may live in the lake at all. Smelt shoals can be found in Lake Brosno as well. The phenomenon of Brosnya can be explained from the physical point of view: huge smelt shoals are reflected on the water surface through refraction of light and produces the effect of a huge reptile head. Physicists say that any mirage appears in hot weather. Indeed, witnesses say that they came across Brosnya in summer. However, the origin of the rumors of this strange monster remain a mystery.
 

Legends
Rumors of a strange, giant creature living in Lake Brosno have existed for several centuries. One legend says that the lake monster scared to death the Tatar-Mongol army that headed for Novgorod in the 13th century. Batu Khan stopped the troops on the sides of Lake Brosno to rest. Horses were allowed to drink water from the lake. However, when the horses ventured down to the lake, a huge roaring creature emerged from the water and started devouring horses and soldiers. The Batu-khan troops were so terrified that they turned back, and Novgorod was saved. Old legends describe an "enormous mouth" devouring fishermen. Chronicles mention a "sand mountain" that appeared on the lake surface from time to time. According to another legend, some Varangians wanted to hide stolen treasure in the lake. When they approached the small island, a dragon came to the surface from the lake and swallowed the island up.

It was rumored in the 18th and 19th centuries that the giant creature emerged on the lake surface in the evening, but immediately submerged when people approached. It is said that during World War II the beast swallowed up a German airplane. Today, there are lots of witnesses who say they chanced to see Brosnya walking in the water. Locals say that it turns boats upside-down and has to do with disappearance of people.

This is very a similar story to the Loch Ness Monster and to Mokele-mbembe, but with the Mokele Mbembe we are talking about it being in the Congo. The Congo is largely unexplored and very difficult to traverse.


So do you think the Brosno Dragon is a real creature? if so , what do you think it could be?

Thanks

Bergman's Bear - The Bergman's bear (Ursus arctos piscator) is an alleged and probably extinct subspecies of the brown bear that lived in the Kamchatka Peninsula. The bear was identified and named by Swedish zoologist Sten Bergman in 1920.

Bergman determined that the bear was a separate subspecies after examining a hide (which had fur very different from other local bears) and series of footprints, measuring 14.5 x 10 inches, which he judged to be much larger than other bears on Kamchatka.

Some think that the Cold War may have helped the population to recover because the Soviet Military blocked access to the area in that time.

Interest in the bear was revitalized in the 1960s. Hunter Rodion Sivolobov reported claims by Kamchatka natives of an unusually large bear they called either the Irkuiem (roughly meaning "trousers pulled down" due to the appearance of the bear's hind legs), or the "God bear" due to its large size.

Based on Sivobolov's description, biologist N.K. Vereshchagin suggested that the God bear might be a relic Arctodus simus, a massive extinct bear. This idea was coolly received by the scientific community; Arctodus has never been found outside the Americas, and more importantly, it belonged to the Tremarctinae which differ considerably in appearance from the "typical" bears (Ursinae). In particular, Arctodus had relatively long and slender legs which does not agree with the "trousers pulled down" moniker.

Do you think that any of these giant bears are around today?

Meteor Hits in Russia - Amazing Video!

A meteor estimated to be around 10 tons hit Russia. The sonic boom blew out windows and doors and caused a wide panic. At last count, almost 1000 people were injured due to the meteor, and around 40 are reportedly in somewhat serious condition. Most of the injuries were due to flying glass and debris.
A 20-foot crater was also found.  It was reported that at first, some people thought it was some type of military attack but soon found out it was a meteor.
Here is the video

The Famous "Sounds of Hell" Audio & Story


TCC - Hell, it is a belief in almost all parts of the planet. A fiery place or torment for bad/sinful people after death. Did you know that people who have a strong belief in Hell are less likely to commit serious crimes?
This audio clip has been around a long time but few know the story associated with it. I have also attempted to enhance the audio. It is very creepy, to say the least. 

Make sure to read the full post and back story below after the video

Increased Number Of Yeti Sightings In Russia 


By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher

 

 

            It seems that Yeti sightings are on the rise in Russia. A forestry worker, a group of fisherman, and another individual have claimed a group of the supposed creatures are inhabiting their local area of Siberia. Three sightings have been reported recently.

            One person spotted the creature, believing it to be a human and yelled, “Do you need help?” but got no verbal response. As the creatures rushed away on two legs straight up a hill, the person realized they were covered from head to toe in fur. This person also stated,  “It could not be bears, as the bear walks on all fours, and they ran on two. Then they were gone.”

            Another sighting took place near the Mras-Su River several days later. An unnamed fisherman said, ““We saw some tall animals looking like people. Our binoculars were broken and did not let us see them sharply. We waved at the animals but they did not respond, then quickly ran back into the forest, walking on two legs. We realized that they were not in dark clothes but covered by dark fur. They did walk like people.”

            And a government official claimed a forestry inspector, Sergei Adlyakov, reported a sighting in a local national park. “The creature did not look like a bear and quickly disappeared after breaking some branches off the bushes,” he said.
