Another trip outside North America. We venture to Mongolia, the land of the almas, or almasti (Almasty).

Armchair is the best vehicle for our trip as the inaccessibility of a great deal of the country makes it difficult. There are not many roads, locals are suspicious of foreigners, there is mistrust of those searching for the Almas, and although the government likes tourism, they are not necessarily fond of those who want to hunt the 'Wildman'.

In recent years, there have been numerous reports of sightings of creatures that resemble pterodactyls, the prehistoric flying reptiles that are believed to have gone extinct millions of years ago. These sightings span across various locations worldwide, from the tropical islands of Hawaii to the urban landscapes of North Carolina. While these accounts are intriguing, it makes me wonder if these sightings are misidentification of some known animal. 

The world of cryptozoology is filled with fascinating and often fearsome creatures, and among them is a cryptid known as the "Devil Monkey". This elusive creature has been reported in various parts of the United States, sparking intrigue and fear among those who claim to have encountered it.

Just what is this mysterious creature and what is it capable of remains unknown, but we do have some information about it.

There are many cryptid creatures reported in the state of Ohio. Best known is sasquatch, called bigfoot more commonly, along with a few local names like Grassman. There is also Bessie the Lake Erie Monster, ABC's ('Alien' Big Cats), Thunderbirds, The Loveland Frog or Lizard, Lizard People, the Melonheads, and Mothman. There are also stories of Werewolves and Dogman.

While there may be a chance that the reports of Dogman may be the same or related to the reports of werewolves or a wolfman, this post concentrates on reports of people claiming to see Werewolves.

In 1973, there were several sightings of a mysterious creature in a gravel pit near Puyallup, Washington. This elusive being became known as the Puyallup Screamer due to its spine-chilling vocalizations.

 

Marlin Ayers, a witness to these events, recorded the Sasquatch sounds emanating from the woods. Amidst the eerie howls, you can also hear birdsong and a distant train whistle in the background. The Puyallup Screamer's vocalizations left the neighborhood residents both fascinated and terrified.

The recording has been heavily scrutinized over the years.

Interesting thoughts and theories can be formed when getting together with fellow researchers.

For example, in a recent get-together, someone ventured the comment about seeing a "new" face in their research area. It took a few seconds, then I noticed several others silently nod.

It seems that for some reason there appear to be more sasquatch in the research areas than before. Among the newcomers are females who appear to be pregnant and really young ones, even possibly newborns.

It was never called 'bigfoot' by any of the witnesses, denied by all but the witnesses, this creature terrorized Butler for one week back in 1978.

The story appears to start on July 8 around 11 pm, when two teens Eugene Kline and Ken O'Neil were walking along the railroad tracks. They heard a strange noise in the brush, an unusual growling sound. They both turned in that direction to see a 7-foot-tall creature with a large head and red eyes the size of golf balls. Ken turned and ran while Eugene stood frozen in place. After what seemed like minutes, he finally turned and ran after Ken. When they spoke to investigators later, neither could recall any details about the face, hair, hands, or feet.

Whether you like or despise the Mountain Monsters TV show, it is always interesting to look for the facts behind the story told on screen.

In one episode, the AIMS crew set out for Washington County in Pennsylvania. According to the team, this bigfoot was said to possess extreme speed and strength. This Shawnee Indian legend was said to have first come to light in the 1700s.

Thinking about how people express themselves concerning Sasquatch got the song "I'm a Believer" running through my mind. Neil Diamond wrote it and the Monkees made it a hit.
