I have not done any real analysis of this video but I would think this is a some type of effects software. It looks pretty good - what do you think? Could it be real?

Thanks

Is this proof of bigfoot in NH? (I have made a color adjustment to the photo)

I was sent a report about the above photo by Craig D. Gadwah and here is what he said about it on his facebook page.

    "This picture was taken with a motion detecting trail camera, in, McDaniels marsh. Springfield N.H. on 9/13/12 at 12:37PM. The person who took the photo. Said it was over 70 degrees that day This Picture was looked at by a forensic photo specialist who lives on George Hill, Springfield, N.H. and he said it was a person in a suit. The person who took the photo estimates the height of the creature to be at least 9 feet tall."

I have been a little reluctant to post this photo because Craig did not take the photo. I personally do not know for sure who owns it, I did attempted contact with one person about the photo. I will gladly remove it at the request and proof of ownership.

The main reason I posted this is because we have had a ton of reports and done a lot of research and investigation in the Newmarket, New Hampshire area. Our own Jason Morse had a couple encounters with a bigfoot he calls "goliath", which if my memory is correct is what Jason estimated to be between 8-9 foot tall.

I have also zoomed in on the figure and done a little photo enhancing . Here are the results.

I do not know if this is real or not, it could be a person in a suit, but we have had a lot of reports from and around this area. If it really is 9 foot tall, then it could not be a person in a suit. Plus it does look pretty massive.
Anyone with more information about this photo or if you have had a sighting please contact Us at

Bigfoot in OK

This investigation/research by TCC Team Members Bobby & Corinna Long
Both are avid outdoors people and good researchers.




1984 - Two young girls (Carla and Toni) both 12 at the time, came within 15 feet of a large Sasquatch while checking out some caves.
They were camping near Great salt plains lake in western Oklahoma. Them and their parents found several large tracks the next morning all around their camping spot.

They reported the incident to park rangers - the Rangers had fences put up to hinder access to the caves the very same day.

She says she still has nightmares of that day. She also stated that there were most likely more there because of the amount of tracks.
This report comes from an old friend who lives in Jay, Oklahoma.
I feel she is being truthful.
Thanks,
 Bobby.

What is this thing?

The above picture was posted on Twitter recently, or so the story goes, of this strange, possibly unknown creature. The report is that the photo was taken in the united states in the south west. Not much info to go on really.
Could this be a dog? I don't know for sure but it appears to be in a plastic bag and to be very dead.

I do not know where or who took the photo, but wanted to share it in case anyone can give us some more details of  what it is or where and who took the photo.

Thanks

I’m always interested in picking all kinds of brains, and bigfoot and paranormal investigators top my list of brains to pick. It takes a special breed of person to do this kind of investigation; a special way of viewing the world and everything in it. And all the minds behind it have different ways of processing what they deal with every day.

Leon Drew, a telecom project manager for the U.S. Army at Ft. Carson, Colorado has had paranormal encounters for most of his life. He is a bigfoot researcher and ghost hunter in one of the most haunted towns in the U.S., Cripple Creek, Colorado and has appeared on the Travel Channel’s hit show, Ghost Adventures. Cripple Creek, these days a gambling town, sits on the southwest side of Pike’s Peak in the majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains. A little over a hundred years ago, a great gold rush happened there. Hundreds of wealth-seekers flocked to the area hoping to strike it rich, but many would be disappointed and many would lose their lives in the process. Leaving this little town, according to many locals, full of unsettled spirits of the dead.

And it’s also a town surrounded by some really beautiful mountain wilderness; perfect territory for Bigfoot. Ute Indian legend and modern day local reports would suggest that sasquatches are alive and well around Cripple Creek.

But how does one man live in the midst of this, process it, and still manage to lead a somewhat normal life? As I talked to Leon, I realized that his approach to his self-proclaimed strange life was pretty insightful.

Dorraine: All this stuff you do in Cripple Creek, ghost hunting, bigfoot research. How did it all start?

Leon: Well the ghost hunting started after helping start the Jail museum here, and I started having encounters.

Dorraine: What kind of encounters?

Leon: The first one happened during the day on a Saturday while I was there alone. I got tapped on the shoulder. I spun around and no one was there. I normally dress in 1880's cloths when I’m there, and had gun belt on, when I spun around I had my gun in my hand.

Dorraine: Ready to shoot something? (Laughs)

Leon: Yes (Laughs) Then I locked the door and checked the entire building and I was all alone.

The next one happened two years later during a haunted house fundraiser we were doing. I was doing all the special effects from my laptop. While resetting everything after a tour, I was in a dark hallway in the main cell block. As I looked up, I could feel someone watching me. There was a man standing there and he asked me, "When is it my turn to scare the hell out of someone?"

Dorraine: You could see him clearly?

Leon: He was as solid as me, about 6 feet tall, blue jean shirt and pants, clean shaven and clean cut. I thought he was one of the volunteers. I started to answer him, and he smirked and disappeared. I looked all around trying to figure out how someone did it... then realized it was a ghost.

Dorraine: Yikes! What about bigfoot encounters?

Leon: The Bigfoot started when I had two encounters with what I would say were juvenile Sasquatch crossing the road in front of my jeep.

Dorraine: Did you believe in all this stuff before these events happened?

Leon: Oh yes. My first spirit encounter happened when I was four. I saw my dead grandfather on our family farm. I’ve had lots of different encounters all over the country. Due to my military career I have

lived all over.

Dorraine: So you’ve had encounters of some sort everywhere you’ve lived?

Leon: Almost everywhere. Georgia, Arizona, New Mexico, and in Panama. Most have been on Army bases as they have had lots of action and deaths on them.

Dorraine: Do you think there's some significance to this? It seems to me that some people are like the chosen ones. Some see these kinds of things. Some don't. What do you think about that? Why do you think that is?

Leon: Well, I think a lot of it is being open minded. And observant.

Dorraine: So you're saying they have to be receptive to it?

Leon: I am very details oriented. And yes, also receptive.

Dorraine: Skeptics would say you'd have to be willing to believe crazy things. What would you say to that?

Leon: Well helps to be a little crazy in order to do this. But you need to be willing to push the reality envelope.

Dorraine: You mean being willing to expand your mind a bit to believe in things that aren't proven?

Leon: Yes, very much so.

Dorraine: How do people in Cripple Creek regard you? Do some say you're crazy?

Leon: No. Most everyone that lives here has had an experience of some type.

Dorraine: So this is a whole town of believers?

Leon: A small mountain mining town tends to attract unusual types anyway. They seem to be mostly believers, though some are skeptics. But it doesn't take long after you move here to have some type of happening.

Dorraine: What are their feelings about bigfoot?

Leon: The Bigfoot thing that can draw some interesting reactions.

Dorraine: Well, Cripple Creek’s a small town and in small towns, you get to know people pretty well. How do you think people there feel about the subject overall?

Leon: Most are open to something being possible.

Dorraine: As you've said they've all had strange experiences. It opens their minds a bit maybe?

Leon: Yes, most of them. Bigfoot reports in the area date back to Kit Carson and the Ute Indians.

Dorraine: And you’ve said you’ve seen Sasquatch twice?

Leon: Three visuals, two audios, and numerous signs.

Dorraine: I guess it’s safe to say you’ve seen a lot of unusual stuff. But, as far as everything you've seen collectively during your "career," have you ever been scared to death?

Leon: Not really. I’m always careful and respectful to both spirits and Sasquatch. After 18 years as a soldier and being in many hotspots, I don't get scared as easy.

Dorraine: Is that the only reason? Your military training? Or is there more to it?

Leon: I look at most things with a scientific mind and try to explain it that way.

Dorraine: Have you ever had a problem sorting it out logically or scientifically?

Leon: I feel that respect for all things makes it easier... also as spirits can sense it. Sometimes I use my Indian heritage side and think of it as a gift.

Dorraine: So staying calm and rationalizing is key in what you do?

Leon: Yes, and also not being intimidated by others.

Dorraine: But you're saying that you just see all this; all these weird things you’ve seen, as natural parts of the big picture of everything that exists?

Leon: Yes, everything is connected.

Dorraine: Okay, so you have a more spiritual view of it all? Every piece of the puzzle has its place, including ghost and sasquatches.

Leon: Yes, exactly. And we all need to show respect to all things and all beings.

Dorraine: So what it all comes down to is that it’s the energy you project.

Leon: And the energy you receive. I try to see all points of view but there are limits.

Dorraine: Well, it seems to work for you.

Leon: It does for me, but it does have its drawbacks.

Dorraine: Such as?

Leon: Social interactions and integrations. I’m not a sports person or a social drinker. So I’m a bit of a loner. But it allows for lots of reflection and interaction with Mother Earth.

Dorraine: So you think that your unusual life affects you socially? Or your lack of social interaction affects your unusual life?

Leon: Well, I’ve always have had an unusual life. A soldiers life is not normal. Then I’ve worked in the Telecom industry so I travel a lot.

Dorraine: How has your military career affected your outlook about this?

Leon: Well, I always observe everything. I’m always watching what goes on around me.

As we say, "Stay alert, stay alive!"

Dorraine: Interesting. I've read that a connection to the metaphysical starts with being awake or alert.

So because of your military training, by being alert, you’re seeing things that others don't. A lot of people seem to run around hypnotized. I’m guilty of that myself. (Laughs)

Leon: Some think so narrowly of both mental and physical visions. So wrapped up in their gadgets.

Dorraine: And their own personal struggles.

Leon: So many personal struggles are self-fulfilling.

Dorraine: So what do you say to the skeptics?

Leon: I understand the skeptics keeps you sharp. Everything I encounter I try to debunk.

To ensure it is real and not misinterpreted.

Dorraine: How does this affect your day job. Does all this interfere, or are you able to separate them well enough?

Leon: Actually it’s no issue with me at all. My job allows me to stay on top of the latest technology, I get support from my boss, and have gotten stories from coworkers.

I sometimes hesitate to ask the deeper questions about this subject. Bigfoot researchers and paranormal investigators can be understandably sensitive about how their views will be received. But I’ve been friends with Leon for a while now, and I knew he’d tell it the way he sees it. He doesn’t care much what people think. He knows what he knows. And it gives us all a really clear picture of how one man, through his Native American heritage and personal spiritual philosophies, has managed to make peace with it all. ******DF

Large Orb at the tree

This report was sent to us a couple days ago. Here is what is on record.

Name: Kayleigh
State: TX
Date of Sighting: April 9, 2013
Time of Day: 11:30 PM
Nearest Town: Fort Worth
Length of Sighting: 2 minutes
How many Witnesses: 1 (me)
Any Photos/Videos: Yes!
Describe sighting in detail: I found a big gecko on the back porch so I grabbed my camera to take a pic. I felt this urge to take a picture of the open field we have next to our house. So I did and the first picture I took I found a bright orb by the base of a tree and right after I took the picture, my camera battery started to drain and eventually died after about a minute.

Here is a zoom in on the orb

So could be be a ghost orb or some reflection of some kind.
Thanks goes to  Kayleigh for sharing the story and photo.

Thanks

Denial And The Other Things I DID See

By Dorraine Fisher

Thinking back on some hikes I’ve made in the past in some less-than-wilderness areas, and the things I saw there, I could just kick myself now for not documenting them. I never carried a camera; I didn’t want to be bothered with that. And even if I had carried one, I was too stupid to know what I should be taking pictures of.

That’s just ignorance. Something I can forgive myself for. It happened before I knew better and knew what to do. But what do you call it when you see or hear something in the woods now and you have the knowledge to process it, but you don’t?

I’ve never actually seen a bigfoot. If I did, I think I’d never go into the woods again. But something happened to me last fall that I didn’t talk about for the simple fact that I was in denial. Now that some time has passed, I’m asking the question if I had a real bigfoot encounter or not.

It was a no big, dramatic thing. I was just walking along a tree line in an area that I frequent. The fall leaves had fallen and were laying thick on the ground in the woods off to my right. But I was just walking along when I suddenly heard footsteps off in those thick woods making clear crunching sounds in the dry leaves. And in a forest full of deer and other critters, I wouldn’t have thought much about that, but it sounded like someone walking on two feet. Not four.

As soon as I stopped so I could hear better, they stopped too. And when I started moving again, I heard the footsteps again. Now, other animals do this, like deer. But like I said, this sounded like two feet. It sounded like a human sneaking around in the woods.

It’s possible it was a human following me. Very possible...but not very likely.

Could it have been what I think it might have been? I thought about it a lot after that; the creepy feeling I got when it happened. I don’t get a creepy feeling when I hear animals in the woods. That’s more like an adrenaline rush, or fight-or-flight response to tell me to stay alert. So what was it?

This brings me to a story of my former ignorance and my not carrying a camera.

Two years ago, I was walking down an open hiking trail in the same area, when I came across a huge dried blood pool in my path. It was probably about 9 feet or more in diameter stretching across the trail and beyond into the grass. Luckily, I did have the presence of mind to look for drag marks in the grass and brush, but saw none. It was interesting. That’s all I thought about it. I felt sure it was a deer that had been killed there, and I wondered what was big enough around here to bring down a deer.

Coyotes, or maybe even a bear or cougar? But there would be drag marks, wouldn’t there? Some remains? A blood trail?

But since I hadn’t been carrying a camera, there is no picture of this, and I can’t prove a thing. I had told myself that day that I’d bring my camera back and take a picture, but it rained after that (of course) for several days, and when I finally made it back, the pool was gone.

And about all this, I never said a word. Why? Denial is a funny thing. Why is it that we can convince ourselves so easily that we might be crazy and we’re just imagining the whole thing. Maybe society and all it’s know-it-all attitude messes with our head a little bit... perhaps. But the fact is that when our brain attempts to process something, it tries to associate something we see with the familiar; something we’ve seen before.

So if we’ve never had a bigfoot encounter before, our brain can easily tell us that what we’re seeing is just like something we’ve seen before. Something we know. But that doesn’t mean that it is. That doesn’t mean that it’s not something different.

So now I’m looking back and wondering if I had my own little encounters. And with what I now believe about bigfoot and reality, it’s very possible that I did. But I never leave home without a camera these days. **********DF

There’s an interesting paradox in what people believe exists. And in the Bigfoot community, it’s a great case study of beliefs in general. Some believe bigfoot exists because they’ve actually seen one. Others believe because they’ve actually looked at all the evidence and made a determination. Some people just enjoy believing.

But what’s most interesting to me is all the people who actually have to see something in order to believe it. Now, I do admit that it IS easier to believe what we actually see, but understand that it’s not the only way we determine things to be real. And you don’t have to believe a word I say, but here are some things to think about when we decide something’s real.

First of all, what is a belief exactly? It’s an idea we aspire to for certain reasons. And those reasons are solidified in our minds because of things we’ve seen, heard, experienced, or been told by people we trust. And all those reasons are very personal and significant to us. In a sense, they are a big part of what makes us who we are. So it’s no wonder we guard our beliefs so fiercely!

But this is the very reason why there is so much conflict over belief. We’ve all had different experiences of life, seen and done different things. We all have different perceptions of the world around us because no two human lives are the same. We’ve all experienced life a little bit differently. Therefore we can’t possibly have the exact same beliefs.

But we have a tendency to live in our own heads and we expect everyone to understand our personal experiences...which they CANNOT. So what does this mean for believers in bigfoot and all things labeled "paranormal?"

The reason it’s so hard for those who believe in these things because they’ve actually seen them or experienced them, is that others, who’ve not had those experiences, simply don’t believe. And they only live inside their own heads with their own set of perceptions and beliefs. And the problem with this is that they, in the realm of their personal perceptions that have neither seen or experienced anything unusual, can’t possibly comprehend someone who has. So they turn to calling the believer crazy, delusional, etc. And this is not constructive, and really fails to understand and cherish the differences in all humans. And it makes life unnecessarily difficult for those who’ve seen unusual things like bigfoot. It creates in them an obsessive need to prove what they’ve seen.

But there are some good things about it. It’s driving cryptozoologists harder all over the world to find the necessary proof. And they’re learning a lot and producing lots of new evidence. But that’s not even the most important thing. They’re making us understand that belief and reality have many different sides.

The element of oxygen is something we all believe in. We can’t see it. But science tells us it’s there and we trust science to know. And we believe it’s there for our own reasons. The wind on our face, the breath in our lungs. In essence, we know it’s real because we can feel it. So if an element is invisible, does that make it less real than one that’s visible.

Pain is another one. We can’t actually see it, but it makes itself known by how it makes us feel. So are feelings that something’s real any less valid than actually seeing something? Those who’ve experienced extreme pain can tell you how real it is.

But then there’s time. The mother of all crazy beliefs. Some scientists theorize that linear time as we know it doesn’t really exist at all. Sure, the sun comes up and goes down every day like "clockwork" but what does that really mean? Nothing. It just means that we measure time in our own terms, but it doesn’t prove time actually exists. Science is still working on that one.

The search for creatures like bigfoot is helping the human race understand something new. And that is that anything is possible, and we have a lot left to learn. And that refusing to believe in something just because we haven’t seen it with our own two eyes doesn’t really tell the whole story. We really are crazy if we think there’s nothing left on the planet to discover. New things pop up every day. *****DF

Stan Romanek - Alien contactee. You may remember him from being on CNN's Larry King show a few years back, Stan was the man who, among many other alien encounters, filmed the alien peaking in a window. Many say that Stan is the real deal while others say he is nothing more than a hoaxer but his UFO photos look pretty good to me. According to what I have read there have been well over 100 individually unique experiences that Stan, his family and friends have encountered since December of 2000 many with photos and videos.



Stan on Larry King

The video below is worth watching because of the many UFO photos and videos.


Thanks
