Thoughts From John Green Still Valid Today

John Green shared many of his thoughts and conclusions throughout his book "Sasquatch the Apes Among Us" while he collected those reports of encounters and shared the experiences of those with whom he spoke. Many are worth keeping in mind even today.

He spoke of how not all the reports were true, that there probably were hoaxes involved; some stories sensationalized by newspapermen trying to sell papers. But also, that the reports he had gathered represented only a small portion of the encounters that were out there.  All the old stories that never got into print are gone forever. And there are many that are lost in old publications that people have not yet found.

Jumping To Conclusions

Bigfoot at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri

Pulaski County in Missouri has had multiple encounters with sasquatch. And some of the best witnesses have been the soldiers training at Fort Leonard Wood.

One of the best known stories comes from Erik Youngdahl back in May, 1982. He was in basic training when he had his eye-opening sighting.

They were on guard duty training that day. Youngdahl had just been paired up with another soldier, Unabia, and were alphabetically loaded onto the truck to be delivered to their assignments. Being the last one in the alphabet, Youngdahl climbed aboard last and found all the benches were filled. So he took a seat on the floor, leaning on the back, looking back the way they were traveling. He and Unabia were assigned the furthest outpost, a bridge crossing the training site and were going to be dropped off first.

Bigfoot Field Research Update

This is a research update from my adventures out in the wilds of the eastern Kentucky mountains. This is from two different days. The dates are August 12th and 19th. This post may turn out to be larger than some of my other research updates, as I want to share more pictures and give more details.

This post will also include two short videos.

I will keep the days in sequence and start with the 12th.

Kyle Goodrunning and the Traveling Photo

This story begins with the alleged encounter with a bigfoot by a 10 year old Native boy.
In October of 2014, Kyle Goodrunning and his sister [in some accounts] and a cousin [or another cousin when the sister is omitted] decided to go for a walk in the woods. While on this walk, Kyle is said to have looked up and noticed a bigfoot crouching in the brush and trees. He whips out his iPad and takes three photos and then runs. When he looks back while running, the bigfoot is no longer in sight.

Kyle was later interviewed by Kevin Noad and the video shared to his YouTube channel. Well, take a look at the video before I say anything more.

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. 

The Loveland Frog

The Loveland Frog [or Loveland Lizard] is one of those creatures that hovers between cryptid and urban legend. And what I thought would be an easy post turned more complicated than I thought.

You see, there are not only the multiple alleged sightings of this creature, but there are multiple versions of the multiple alleged sightings. But let's see if I can make some sense of it all.

The Loveland Frog is listed as one of the cryptids that the state of Ohio is known for. That and the Ohio Grassman [which is a regional name for bigfoot and not one that the rest of the state necessarily uses] and the Minerva Monster [which is another regional name for bigfoot]. Cedar Bog Monster [bigfoot]. Orange Eyes [either bigfoot or an alien]. We share Mothman with West Virginia, who is better known for the creature. We have dogman and the Crosswick Monster [humanoid snake]. And we have the Charles Mills Lake Monster and our own Lake Erie Monster, Bessie.

But back to the Loveland Frog.

Deer People - (part two)

So what are Deer People?

People have offered several solutions and explanations.

The one most offered is mistaken identification. Poor lighting distorts a normal deer. Or large dogs are mistaken for a deer. Many of the sightings involve the deer standing directly in the headlights.

Here's an experience from a South Dakota college student. The student had ended up at the emergency room due to pain and was finally returning back to the dorm, one way trip of around 20 miles. It was 2 am and "Jackie" was feeling sleepy and decided to pull over to the side of the road for a minute or two and try to wake up. 

The Official BFRO Bigfoot Encounters Classification System - How Does Yours Rate?

By Dorraine Fisher

I don’t like labeling things or classifying them because I’m one of those people that believes that many things are subjective or even mysterious and can’t be classified so easily, like Bigfoot. I think the subject of bigfoot opens up a whole new world of many smaller classification ratings.  But nevertheless, humans sometimes feel the need to differentiate and compartmentalize.  And bigfoot research, in the interest of making sure it remains a serious topic, according to some, is one of those subjects that needs serious analysis with a concise classification system.  

So, in order to make this a reality, the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Research Organization) has broken bigfoot encounters down into three classifications. Many of us have already studied this and already think we know what category our encounter is in, but it’s always worth a second look just to make sure.

Possible Bigfoot Throwing Rocks Report

We all know there are many reports of Bigfoot throwing rocks and even though often times the Bigfoot is not seen, it is easy to deduce what is his causing the activity.

This following report came in a few days ago and it really fits the bill of other Bigfoot rock throwing incidents.

Here is the report
