Almost Live | Final Game Cam Retrieval | S1E10

Season 1 of Almost Live had a 10th episode that was, until now, only available on Amazon and maybe a couple of other places. But now I have made it available for everyone to watch. It was the final episode of the season and where I first revealed the upcoming season 2.

The season finale! It's the final trip of the year to retrieve the last of the game cameras. It is a lovely fall day and the animals are moving about. Once again something has attacked two of the game cameras, will the video show exactly what it was this time. Plus the first news of a possible season 2.

Here is the episode

Expedition - Part 6

This was the final day of our expedition, this was day 5. On this day it was raining and the weather forecast was calling for rain most of the day. After 4 days of rough, strenuous exploring, we thought we would make this day a little easier, but there was an unexpected event waiting on us.

Seeing that Guy was from out of the area, I thought it would be a good adventure to take him up to Pine Mountain State Park. The idea was to hike out to Chain Rock and explore some of the other trails.

Expedition - Part 4

The 4th day of our adventure started even earlier than the previous days. The plan for the day was to visit 2 different locations. The first locations was Area 1 and the gifting area. The second location was the old coal mine area, this was one location on Guy's "must do" list.

We arrived at Area 1 and began our hike to the gifting area.

Hiking At Camp Blanton

We spent the better part of a day hiking at Camp Blanton. We show you the famous Knobby Rock and the labyrinth known as The Maze. By the end of the day, we had logged almost 9 miles of trekking through this 100-year-old forest.

Here is some info about Blanton Forest and Camp Blanton.
Blanton Forest is located on Pine Mountain in Harlan County and is the largest old-growth forest known in Kentucky.

Blanton Forest is named in honor of former owners Grover and Oxie Blanton. The Blantons purchased the land in 1928 and passed it on to their daughters with the understanding that it would never be logged.

Here is our video of our hike.

Hiking and Bigfooting In Kentucky!

It's time for another hiking and bigfooting outing ...and once again I'm taking you with me!
My wife and I are in the beautiful mountains of Southeast Kentucky, in Harlan County. We find some very interesting things along our journey. This area is one I'm familiar with and an area that has produced bigfoot tracks in the past.

The weather is great for getting outdoors and we could not wait to hit the mountains.

Mountain Time! Exploring the Kentucky Woods

Hey Gang, today I took a few hours to explore the mountains here in my beautiful state of Kentucky.
While out I of course was looking for bigfoot evidence but I was also our looking for ginseng. I managed to get into some very rough and steep areas, but I had a blast and enjoyed it.

I made a short video of today's adventure and I did find a few interesting things.
Check out the video.

Bigfoot Research Day Two

Back out in the woods in an area where I have had some interesting findings. Once again I wanted to test out my foot in an area that is a little rougher than the previous day. I've been pretty sick and wanted to push myself to see if I could hack it.

This area is a great place for numerous animals. It has an abundance of water sources and food sources.

Here is the video:

Bigfoot Research May 2019

Okay, so due to a death in the family, followed by sickness and a gout attack, I have been pretty much anchored at home for the last month or more. Well, after finally feeling better I thought I would head out to one of my research areas and pick up a game camera I set out back in the first week of February.

I wanted to use this outing to check out my foot, as it is still having some pain issues from the gout attack. I also wanted to see if I would be okay in the mountains after having a bout with some kind of allergy sickness that has had me down for a couple weeks.

Almost Live | Game Cam Retrieval | S1E9

I finally got a chance to do another Almost Live show. In this episode, I go out to retrieve my game cams and look for some ginseng. The reason for the long delay was due to the fact I hurt my already sore leg and had to take almost 2 weeks off. So, it felt good to get back out there and test out the leg.
Once I got to the second and third game cams, I was surprised at what I saw.

Almost Live | Rock Stack Explained | S1E8

Welcome to another episode of Almost Live. This is episode 8 in the series. In this episode, I'm in one of the roughest areas I have been in this year. The area was thick with briers and high weeds. The high weeds hid potholes and rocks. I actually re-injured my left leg and had to take several days off because of it. The leg is feeling much better so I may get to take another trip out before too long.

I found a few interesting things during this journey, including the above Rock Stack. Rock stacks are sometimes thought to be made by Bigfoot. I explain how and why this one was made. 

Hope you enjoy the episode.

Almost Live | Ginseng Hunting & Bigfooting | S1E7

Welcome to another episode of Almost Live. This is a very busy time of year for me. This is ginseng season. The time of year that I'm in the mountains more than normal. I do spend large amounts of time in the forest, but during ginseng season I'm out even more. I enjoy hunting ginseng and it gives me yet another reason to walk the mountains. It also gives me more opportunities to search for bigfoot-related evidence. To travel into areas I normally do not get in but a couple times a year. It is a chance to learn more about nature, animals, and bigfoot.

With that said, here is episode 7 of Almost Live, I hope you enjoy it.

Almost Live | Sick, But Doing it Anyway | S1E6

Welcome to yet another episode of Almost Live. In this episode, I was not feeling very good but I sure didn't want a nice day to pass me by. I covered a pretty large area hunting for ginseng and looking for possible bigfoot sign.  I did find some ginseng and some other things that you might find interesting.

Here is the episode.

Almost Live | More Bigfoot & Game Cams | S1E5

Here is another Almost Live episode. On this particular day, this was my second outing of the day. Earlier in the day I had picked up my game cams from Area 1 and now was setting them in this new area. This is the area where I recently found several stick formations.

In this episode, I also show you several other interesting things from my neck of the woods. This post and the previous post go hand in hand. I recommend you watch them both.

Here is the episode, I hope you enjoy it.

Bigfoot and Game Cams - Field Research

My day started pretty early this morning. I headed out to retrieve my game cameras from Area 1. The plan was to pick up the cams and then return home to see what was actually on the cameras and then head back out to another location. So, this was to be a quick in and out on the retrieval.

I documented the retrieval process and inserted the game cam captures in the video. One major bummer was that the Browning game cam malfunctioned and most of the videos were corrupted and were not viewable.  I actually have software that attempts to save the video, but it didn't work on the videos.

In any case, here is the short video of the retrieval and game cam captures.

Almost Live | More Bigfoot Stuff | S1E4

Well, today was another fine adventure. I was able to return to the area where I recently found a couple of bigfoot structures. I really couldn't wait to get back into that area and check it out more. I had also found some pretty good ginseng in that area, so it was a double win that day.  Today did not disappoint at all. I was able to find several other bigfoot-related things. If you want to actually learn about some of the behavior patterns of bigfoot, you really need to watch this episode of Almost Live and the previous episode. They are packed with findings of bigfoot behavior.
For me on a personal level, it is exciting to find all these structures. I like learning and finding new things.

Here is the episode, hope you enjoy it.

Almost Live | Ginseng and Bigfoot | S1E2

Okay, I'm back with another raw, uncut episode of Almost Live. This second episode is full of some very interesting things. This episode is much longer and much better, I think.
Any time I go out looking for ginseng, I also keep an eye out for any bigfoot-related findings...and today I was not disappointed.

Check out this episode:

Almost Live | Pilot | Raw Footage |S1E1

As some of you may know, when I go out in the field to conduct bigfoot research I can not "Go Live" because I really get back in the bush and don't have any cell phone signal. I know going live is a very popular thing among bigfoot researchers and fans of the subject. So, I thought I would create a new series entitled "Almost Live".  It will be the raw, 95 percent or more, unedited, and uncut footage from some of my outings.

We make a big effort to share the majority of our research efforts with everyone. I know sometimes it is not very exciting and maybe even downright boring, but we share the good, the bad, and the boring. Sometimes we walk for miles looking for clues that bigfoot is in the area. Many times we don't find anything at all. This is a very large and difficult task that we are doing, but we love it even on slow or bad days.

With that said, here is the first episode of "Almost Live"

Bigfoot Research | Thomas & Tony

Even though I'm incredibly busy with numerous projects and normal life stuff, I manage to find time to conduct hands-on research. On this outing, I and Tony Felosi of  Harlan County Paranormal, spend several hours walking the mountains of Eastern Kentucky looking for evidence of Bigfoot.

We trek to an area where I have had success before and are not disappointed with what we find.

Over the last week or two I got in a couple reports that I attempt to follow up on but on one I got no reply and on the other there was no contact information. One of the accounts might make you say "You saw a what?" ..hence the title of this post.

Here is the first sighting, which I'm thinking is a Bigfoot sighting. It comes from someone name Leanard, that is how it is spelled in the email. Here is what Leanard said "I saw something strange at Lorain metro park in Elyria (Photo of area above). I was hiking with granddaughter, stopped took picture of her. 10 minutes later I sat down at spot and spotted a black figure with left arm holding a tree. I had an a counter in early 80's down there!"

Vacationing with Ghost
by Sharon Day


I just finished up reading Vacationing with Ghost by Sharon Day. I think, I read this book faster than I have any other book in recent memory, which is a testimony to the author for keeping me interested.

Day writes about her childhood days in her family's summer home. The local folks in the area are an interesting lot and Day does a good job capturing their appearances and personalities.

While reading the book, you get the feeling you are there, feeling the sand on the bottom of your feet, smelling the water or maybe the sounds of an approaching storm. Day does an excellent job at detailing the landscape and describing her feelings.

While this book is essentially a glance into Sharon Day's brushes with the spirit world as a youth growing up, it is also much more. It is a glimpse into her personal and family life that will bring back memories of the readers childhood.  Remember, before the Internet, how kids used their on imaginations and made up games to play. I for one, remember growing up and playing "Cops and Robbers". We would use our bikes and chase each other for hours. Kids don't seem to play like this nowadays, maybe they still should.

Vacationing with Ghost is filled with everything from creepy things to adventure to interesting people to pirate tales and more. Where the book really nails it down though, is the ending. I will not give it way but I can't think of any better way for this book to have ended.

I should also note a couple other things about the book that some might find interesting. Firstly, the book has quite a few pictures which really lends to the story and Secondly, there are some actual home cooking recipes after the ending. If you're like me, the recipes will come in handy.

So in closing, I can say I truly enjoyed the book and enjoyed learning more about Sharon Day and her family. I recommend you give the book a read, especially if you are interested in ghost and have a sense of adventure.
