This was a little side project we have been working on. This is a paranormal investigation of the old Benham Hospital.

The Benham Hospital is located near the center of the community, and was built in 1922. At the hospital employee applicants were given physicals and miners and their families received medical care. The building belongs to the city now. Over it's years in operation it was the central hospital for the area. It treated everything from common colds to gun shot wounds. After it closed, numerous stories were told about the location. One story was of a worker being scared so bad they he ran out of the building and refused to go back in. Thomas and Tony visit the hospital in an attempt to document some of the activity. 

Here is the short documentary

No one on the planet in our lifetime has been more controversial than David Icke. Less-than-affectionately known as a “renowned conspiracy theorist” and to others, a nutjob or hero, David Icke has pushed the proverbial buttons on our view of reality to the brink of total oblivion on numerous occasions and still manages to stay relevant after decades. Why? Because as crazy as some might think he is, people are beginning to see and experience the truth in what he’s been saying all along, as this new documentary about his life illustrates.

Just a another very short teaser of the film. This was during a very rough outing in harsh environment, but we still had time for a laugh.

The film will feature lots of field research, numerous interviews, Bigfoot, Giants, caves, Bones and more!

You still have time to become a backer for the film!

Due to being extremely busy, I forgot to make a post that our latest film, The Mysterious Monroe House, came out on DVD and streaming services in February.

In case anyone didn't know, the mysterious Monroe House is a place with reported paranormal activity. Some even claim the activity is demonic. The house was built somewhere around the middle 1800's and according to what we were told, has a very checkered past. The drive there was roughly a 6 hour drive for us. We got in the house a little after 5pm. We actually arrived a couple hours earlier and used that time to get something to eat and take some pictures and video of the town. Once in the house we were treated to an oral history and a tour of the house by the owner, Eddie. We investigated into the wee morning hours and finally called it a night. Most of us only got about 3 hours sleep before we headed back out for home.

Well over a year or so ago I was made aware of an upcoming British Bigfoot documentary. The film "Elusive" has now been released and I finally got the time to watch it. I wanted to share some thoughts and the film with everyone.

The film features witnesses/researcher testimony as well as some very interesting footage of what appears to be a Bigfoot.

I have had the pleasure to work with a few of the people featured in the film over the years. Some of the others are popular names you will recognize from Youtube.

2018 has hit the Bigfoot world pretty hard as we have lost two of our own. Even though there is a lot of infighting amongst different Bigfoot researchers and communities, some losses seem to touch everyone.

For this post I want to briefly talk about these two good men, who are no longer with us, but made contributions to bigfoot research and other fields.

A few months ago, I met Bill Lancaster at a local Bigfoot event. At the time Bill was filming for an upcoming film titled "Cultured Bigfoot". I got to know Bill a little bit at that event and later was interviewed at another event for his film. Well, the film is getting much closer to being released and recently an official trailer was released. I thought it would be good to do some Q & A with Bill about the film and his interest in the Bigfoot phenomenon.

Here is our interview and the official trailer for Cultured Bigfoot.

I just wanted to give everyone a head ups about our recently released new film. The title is simply "Missing". It is currently available on Amazon streaming in both standard and High Definition versions and 5.1 surround sound. If you have Amazon Prime, the film is also available right now for viewing. There is a DVD release as well and it should be up on Amazon very soon. Everything for the DVD release has been approved and we are just waiting for it to show up online for ordering.

Now, a little more about the film itself.

Thanks to my recent subscription to Amazon Prime, I finally get to watch some long overdue bigfoot documentaries and movies. I know some of you may not like the fact that we do movie and book reviews, but it can be important in pointing people to films or book with good information or at least worth the price of admission.

With that said, last night I watched Bigfootville. This is a straight forward bigfoot documentary with witness interviews, skeptic voices, and field research. The film quality is pretty good but not HD as this film is a little older. Don't let the fact this film was made in 2002 put you off, it still has a lot to offer.

The film takes place in rural Oklahoma were numerous reports of a 9 foot tall hairy man have been reported. During the course of the film there are several witness interviews and some investigations. During a night investigation, which included 2 witnesses who had a previous sighting in the area, there is some activity that is pretty interesting. Some rocks are thrown and a dark figure is seen by everyone in the group. One of the witnesses was really emotional about returning to the area, he was nearly to the point of tears. It seems his reservations about returning to the area were on target.

The witnesses who tell about their sightings, all come off as being authentic and truthful. It seems pretty obvious these folks seen something that was out of the norm for the area. Another very interesting part of this documentary is listening to the local Native American tribe talk about it.

Now, a few things about the film bothered me. The overtones the first quarter of the film had me frustrated. It was leaning strongly to idea that all bigfoot sightings were fake and the witnesses liars or just mistaken on what they saw. One big wig anthropologist by the name of Russ Tuttle had me ready to scream at the TV. He was one of those people who spout the old lines of "You seen a bear" and "It was just someone pulling a prank", "there is no evidence of bigfoot".
There was also a wildlife guy who made a statement I have heard many people say and it goes something like this: "I've been in the mountains all my life. I have never seen or found any evidence of bigfoot, there is no such thing." But thankfully I held on and the program improved and got to witness testimony and investigations.

The good news is you can actually watch the movie for Free as it is on youtube. If you have some time I recommend you give it a watch.


Overall, this is a very good bigfoot documentary. I was unable to find this title on DVD, it appears it is unavailable, so Youtube or Amazon is the only way to watch it I guess.


Here is my final rating.
Rating: 3 out of 5    



Thanks

I finally got around to watching the documentary film Minerva Monster. This film is about a continuing series of bigfoot sightings and activity in a small town in eastern Ohio. The film mainly focuses on one family and their years of activity behind their house. The film also brings in other sightings from the area and numerous interviews.

According to the documentary, a local family had a sighting of the creature near their home and being frightened called the police. From there the whole event kind of snowballed and the area and the family was thrust into the spotlight. The story made local and national news headlines. Every bigfoot hunter and rubbernecker from all over came to the area. There were even times when the family was harassed by skeptics.

According to the family the creature kept coming around the family's property, it would throw rock and make tree knocks. The family tells about many sightings and encounters with the beast. They talk about finding huge footprints and finding bedding areas.

There were many things I like about this little film. I like the fact that the local police officer who was called to the house, is actually interviewed extensively during the film. The newspaper reporter covering the story way back in the 70's, is also interview extensively. The production and film quality is high level. It was a well done production.

Throughout the course of the film, other witnesses and more recent sightings from the area are added in, but the central story remains around this one particular family. Bigfoot researcher Paul Hayes is also featured in the film and he tells about the sighting he and his son had of a bigfoot.

Overall, it was a pretty good little film, just realize it is not a film about going out and looking for evidence. It is mostly interviews and people telling about what happened. There are some photographs presented from the central story but not much. This is the aspect of the film that I was a little disappointed in. I wish there had been more photos from the police investigation or family presented.

So, if you would like to watch a film about a family who has had numerous sightings and encounters with bigfoot, then this film might be right for you. Please be aware that the first of the film is pretty slow on the bigfoot front. It is mostly historians telling about the town and how it's grown over the years.  While many will find the first part of the film boring, just hang with it, after it gets into the bigfoot stuff it is much better.

Here is the official trailer


During the interviews there are a lot of different details given about the area and the sightings. I was unfamiliar with this story and its long history, so I enjoyed learning about it. 


Here is my final rating.

Here is the second episode of The Crypto Files. In this episode we take a quick look at a couple trending stories. Many times in the Bigfoot community, old stories and reports have a way of getting recycled. Sometimes they contain new information and sometimes they don't.

Here is episode 2 "Ketchum If You Can"

A few months ago I finished read the book Ghost: A Natural History: 500 years of searching for proof and in it was a little about Harry Houdini and how he was interested in ghosts and mediums.

So, that got me to digging into some of the history of Houdini and led to the creation of a short documentary type video about him.

Here is the video, it is but a small glimpse into the life of Houdini

Mirage Men Rating: Not rated Running Time: 85 Minutes Streaming Review of the film by Thomas Marcum

This post by Thomas Marcum, Thomas is the founder/leader of the cryptozoology and paranormal research organization known as The Crypto Crew. Over 20 years experience with research and investigation of unexplained activity, working with video and websites. A trained wild land firefighter and a published photographer, and poet.



Today I watched the premier of Mirage Men, so I thought I'd write a little review of the film.
First, let me say if you are looking for a documentary that shows a bunch of UFO footage and stuff like that, then look else where because there is very little of it in this film. 

Now if you are interested in the inner workings of how the government sows disinformation to the UFO crowd and then the general public, then you have to watch this film.
It has some wow factors that shows the extremes that are taken to not only gather information but to also plant disinformation.

I did enjoy the film but it really ask and creates more questions on what is a real UFO story and what is a disinformation story.  Richard Doty is the now civilian who is "coming clean" after years of working to cover, gather and plant disinformation for the government, but in the end you just can't trust what he is telling you.

This is a very thought provoking film and should make you question just what the government tells us, not only about UFOs but everything.

Who would you trust?

You can stream the film at this link - http://amzn.to/1Llq2mO

Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars - Worth a Watch!

Set to blow the lid off!

The exclusive premiere of Mirage Men is only one week away, the wait is almost over, there's only a few days left to pre-order the film at the discounted price. Click the link, watch the trailer. The lid is going to be blown off!
http://ykr.be/1yag2insmg

Here is a exclusive sneak peek


ET visitors… crashed UFOs… back-engineered alien technology… the government cover-up of a secret that would change the world as we know it…

Yekra Player
Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films.
Mirage Men
How the US government created a myth that took over the world.
ET visitors… crashed UFOs… back-engineered alien technology… the government cover-up of a secret that would change the world as we know it…
These are the core elements of the modern UFO mythology, a story that has captivated farmers, princes and generals for generations, and shows no sign of loosening its grip on the popular imagination.
But what if, instead of covering up the UFO story, elements in the US military had actively encouraged it as part of their Cold War counterintelligence arsenal – manufacturing the myth of the UFO as a powerful weapon of mass deception and the perfect cover for all manner of clandestine technologies and operations.
Now, for the first time, some of those whose actions have directly shaped the UFO mythology, and some of their victims, tell their stories, revealing a surreal disturbing and sometimes tragic sequence of events that is part Manchurian Candidate and part Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Mirage Men draws viewers into a saucer-shaped hall of mirrors, a shadow-world where every lie contains elements of the truth, and the truth is far stranger than the UFO believers, or their detractors, would have you believe.

Above is the new poster for the film Shooting Bigfoot. This came from the Minnow Films website.

It is just a few days until the film will be shown, what will be the out come is anybody guess at this point. Will it Bang or Bust?

Here is a statement from Minnow Films:

"We are aware there has been a lot of speculation about this documentary. We will not be releasing any further information about the film prior to its screening at Hot Docs in Canada at the end of April. However, we can confirm that it includes Rick Dyer, Tom Biscardi, Dallas and Wayne, and it contains some fairly dramatic scenes filmed in the woods"

So I guess depending on what your view is of "fairly dramatic" is makes the world of difference.

I kind of lost interest in this whole story/film/event due to all the fighting and how the details of the story changed a little and at this point I will just be glad to get to finally see what is real and what is not real about the story.

The fighting has really went over the top with many personal attacks on all sides. I wonder, will any of them kiss and make up after it is all over? I would think some will and some will not or is some of it just part of the hype?

Recently a trailer was released for Shooting Bigfoot, which again brought many mixed and varied reviews/opinions.


In the end I will watch the movie, at some point, even if it turns out to be a hoax.
In my opinion Dallas and Wayne have been the most low key with their bigfoot researcher over the years and their other movie "Not your Typical Bigfoot Movie" was very entertaining for me.
Almost everyone has heard of Rick Dyer and Tom Biscardi and opinions vary about them but it is undeniable that both Dyer and Biscardi have large followings and followers.

So everyone get ready to either "eat crow" or say "I told you so" as Shooting Bigfoot is only a few days away.

Thanks
~Tom~
