Bigfoot digging in the dirt

This interesting clip comes from our friend Pearl Prihoda. It shows a bigfoot digging in the dirt.
Pearl would not tell me a lot about the clip other than it was shot several years ago and that the bigfoot was digging and eating dirt. Pearl did not shoot this film but discovered it.
Eating dirt may seem odd to some people but other animals do it.
Here is what Pearl said about the clip:

"It is digging and eating dirt. Mining Geophagy (Eating Dirt) The benefits of clay or dirt to animal health has been known for some time. ... mountain gorillas mine yellow volcanic rock ...humans mine, all animals do.."

I do not know where this video was shot or who actually shot it, but I can speculate that it was shot in either Washington State or Oregon. The leg looks rather massive.

Who made this structure?

This post/report from TCC Team Member Jason Morse.  Jason is a lifelong outdoor enthusiast, trained in wilderness survival tactics, a 26-year martial artist, DJ, EMT, and amateur writer. Jason conducts bigfoot field research, witness interviews, and more for The Crypto Crew.



This is just some follow-up work on a couple of recent posts (found Here & Here) about possible Bigfoot activity in Pawtuckaway Park in New Hampshire. This was an actual sightings report we followed up on.

Our friend Monroe Bean, who goes into the field with us sometimes, found the interesting stick structure pictured above.  We all pretty much think it was most likely a man-made structure but you never know, I guess.

Goblin Shark attack

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.


A rare Goblin Shark was caught recently by a shrimping crew off the coast of Florida, it has brought the beastly looking creature to the forefront. This strange creature can reportedly live at depths of more than 4,265 below the surface. This rare catch was released by the shrimping crew shortly after it's capture.

According to Theepochtimes.com  "Carl Moore, one of the shrimpers, said that  he was trawling for royal red shrimp south of the Marquesas Keys April 19 when he netted the 15-foot goblin shark."



Some Goblin Shark Facts -

* Teeth - The teeth are very long and narrow with single cusps in both jaws. There are 26 in the upper jaw and 24 in the lower jaw.

* Body -  The body is uniformly pale white or pinkish, this is caused by blood vessels just under the translucent skin.

* Other Names - Elfin Shark, Requin Lutin and many others.

* Location - The deep-water goblin shark is thought to be widely distributed. Specimens have been seen in the Atlantic off the coast of Guyana, Surinam, French Guyana, France, Madeira, Senegal, Portugal, Gulf of Guinea, and South Africa. It has also been reported in the western pacific off Japan, Australia and New Zealand. In the Indian Ocean it is found in South Africa and Mozambique. It was recently recorded in the United States near San Clemente Island off the coast of California as well as in the northern Gulf of Mexico south of Pascagoula, Mississippi. Few specimens have ever been caught making it one of the rarest species of sharks.


Just by watching the animated picture at the top of the page, it reminds me of the movie Alien with Sigourney Weaver, where the alien creature had the extra set of teeth and mouth inside of it's mouth.

This odd shark is pretty creepy but fascinating all at the same time.
I can only image what kind of "Monster" tales came from the first sightings of this creature.

Thanks

Describe sighting in detail:
I was picking blackberries on old Westvaco property when some deer come running out of the 8 to 10 foot tall trees I was picking berries by. Then I could hear something coming thru the trees after them. It was making a growl like grunt sounds.  As it got closer I could see the trees being pushed apart. That is when I could see a hairy arm and hand. I could see leg and hip too. The limbs it was pushing apart were 3\4 the way up these trees two rows in. I got my bucket and got the hell out of there. Scared the hell out of me.

Follow Up Question:

This report comes from Letcher County, Kentucky, which is not very far from me. I have been in this area when I was a wild land firefighter, the mountains are very large and deep in this area. It also has some really remote areas.

Name: Tim *******
Email Address: withheld

County: Letcher
Date of Sighting: Oct,31/2012
Time of Day: 5:30 near dark
Nearest Town: Jenkins
Length of Sighting: encounter lasted approx. 10 mins
How many Witnesses: myself
Any Photos/Videos: n/a
Describe sighting in detail:
I was deer scouting, gun season nearing, was in a hollow called Dark hollow, coming off the top of ridge, what is known as Pine Ridge, at the end of an old logging/mining road. Just as I was about to step off the embankment to the logging/mining road, I hear a loud Woosshhh, so loud, I'm sure my eyes crossed and short moments later woosshhh, so I yelled loud as I could, wanting to warn whatever it was, that I was there, so thinking it possibly might be a bear, elk or big cat I shot a round from a 30/30,trying to show it along its merry way, and again, woosshhhh. I shot another round, 3 times I shot into the embankment trying to warn it that I wasn't there to play. And I fumbled my cell phone about to call my brother, try to get him to drive up to closely where I was and try to scare it away, which he was trick or treating with his daughter and couldn't. So I had to man-up and get to my vehicle on my own, legs shaking I backed away from the direction the woosshhing sound was coming from, I kept the embankment between me and the creature and looked back about 50 yards with blurry, watery eyes and seen the thing just standing there, upon arriving to my vehicle. Never will forget that day, was also getting foggy and misting rain.

Describe the creature -
I only seen that it was darkish brown and approx 6 to 7 feet in height, this was roughly 50 to 60 some yards away, about 35 minutes till dark. About 4 hundred pounds of weight. No special features, what I mean is no muscular or bodily features.
And seriously, between the fear from its sound, my eyes were really watering, not crying but as in nerve damage from the fear.
The sound was like the "wo" sound wolf and followed by the long "shhh" sound, like shhhhh and fadeing. woosshhhh.

Have you been back there?
Been back once, been there (general area) a few times, main ridge runs along hwy but a couple miles away

Any other reports from that area?
Other reports ,maybe 10 miles away, closest

UFO emerging from a cloud

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.


The still frame above is from a very popular UFO video, it shows some people driving down a busy highway and stopping and filming what appears to be a UFO emerging from behind the clouds. The UFO also shoots out some blue lightening bolts. The video has been pretty viral on facebook and youtube. Normally the shared video comes with a warning that the video is being deleted from the Internet and that you need to share it. The question becomes is it real or fake? I have the answer but before we get into all that lets watch the video.


The video is very compelling to many people and many others are just unsure if the video is of a real UFO. Some just wonder if it's real or fake...well wondered no longer.

The above video was a viral marketing campaign created by a Brazilian advertising company. The company's name is Attitude Comunicacao, which is a company associated with Atitudemediabox. The campaign was started way back in 2011 and believe it or not it was for a pizza box advertising company, that company is Pizzboxx. Pizzboxx makes custom advertisements for pizza boxes.
Here is an example of one of their many pizza boxes.

Custom Pizza Box

A very cool looking pizza box, they also did a Spider-Man one and many others.  

Atitudemediabox also issues a statement about the video on their web page, found HERE.
Here is a translation of their statement:
"To disclose the approval between the AtitudeMediaBox and the PizzBoxx group wanted something unusual.
Our campaign is only at the beginning and already have many media by Brazil. "Ufo Rondon" was a story built not only by us, but by the whole population. Congratulations to all and thank you so much creativity.
Subscribe to our channel on YouTube (agatitudecomunicacao), follow us on Twitter (@atitudemediabox) and wait for the end of the viral film that almost became an epidemic."

Now, if that is still not enough to convince you, there was also a follow up video and here it is....


In the end, I would have to say it was a very good marketing campaign and very effective. The original video is still making the rounds on facebook and many are convinced it's the real deal.

All this talk about pizza is making me hungry, I wonder what is on our pizza boxes?

Have a great day and keep watching the skies...and your pizza boxes.

Thanks

Bigfoot track

Just thought I'd share a photo of a bigfoot track. This was from a track line I found in 2013. There was a bigfoot sighting and as I investigated the area, which was pretty remote, I was able to fine a track line containing around 10-12 tracks. I later found another track line in the same area and I sure it was made by the same bigfoot. This sighting and investigation took place in Kentucky.

This was the #6 print in the first Track line. I know it is a little hard to see due to the lighting. I did manage to make one casting of what I thought was the best track. The track was roughly 14 inches long and 7 inches wide.

I was also able to find several single tracks in the same area. The foot impressions were roughly twice as deep as my foot track. Which to me would indicate the creature was about twice my weight, making it around 600 pounds. I also found many tree breaks and other stick anomalies.

Thanks

"I thought I'd found something in one of my research areas. On first sight, this structure, made from large broken branches 10 to 12 feet up off the ground, does not look naturally made, and there have been numerous sightings reports in this area, some footprints and sound recordings taken of unusual activity. But I found nothing else in the area around this structure, and upon examining it again, I decided the branches could have dropped into this configuration. It's interesting, but I had to conclude it could have been made naturally."

Almost daily, someone will send me a picture of what they believe might be a stick structure built by a Bigfoot. These are those strange configurations made from trees and tree branches, often found deep in the woods, (but not always) that defy explanation and could not have been created by humans or natural means. Some can be as large and elaborate, and others are smaller (as simple as a stick stuck in the ground) and appear to serve no practical purpose.

 

 

Researchers believe they may be some kind of landmarks sasquatches use to signal, warn, or otherwise inform other sasquatches of something. Some are also believed to be created by juvenile sasquatches. But when researchers bring us these pictures of these structures, the first question we have to ask a lot of questions and ask for more detailed research in the area they’re found.

 

"X" made with broken branches

 Stick structures create some serious controversy in the world of cryptid research. If you spend a lot of time in the woods, you know nature and the weather can do some weird things to everything out there. And this often makes these structures just too hard to recognize as anything authentic. And in the case of sasquatch research, you have to have your research in order, or face a lot of criticism.



Found in Russia

So if you do a lot of hiking in the wooded areas, near a good water source, teeming with deer and lush vegetation, and you come across one of these structures, how do you tell if it’s something to get excited about?
 

The answer is, you can’t. Not without a shadow of a doubt. But there are some signs to look for in these structures and that can point you to other, more tangible evidence in the area. 

1. Are the sticks used for the structure broken and not cut, as with human tools? This might seem like a stupid question, but needs to be checked in the case of thorough research.


2. If the sticks forming the structure are broken and not cut, how big are they? Are they big enough that even a strong human could not break them, as is the case with small trees which are seen broken off in some research areas?


3. Are the trees in the area of the structure broken off at a height above the height of any human, meaning over seven feet high where no human could easily reach?


4. Have the sticks been used in unusual configurations? Or have they been intertwined or even woven into each other and appear they were intended to be semi-permanent?


5. Was the structure found in a remote area where less human foot traffic is found? This is not always the case in stick structures, but is one factor in helping determine its authenticity. They are more often found in areas far away from normal human occupation.


6. And has there been a credible bigfoot sighting in the area? We find that these structures can appear in areas where there have been recent sightings or other strange activity reported.

I got in another local bigfoot sighting report and wanted to share it with everyone. I know they are here and I'm glad some of our local people are contacting me.

Describe sighting in detail:
"I was walking at night at about 10pm with my family. We was just going for a walk  and then I looked up by the strip job and seen something standing there it was about 6 or 7ft tall, black in color and just standing there watching us, but when I said look it was gone, I don't know for sure what I seen but it was big and black. I do know it was not a dog or something because it was on two legs!!!"

- End Report -

This got me to thinking about other sightings and activity in this area. I have found many signs in this area that bigfoot is around. Such things as tree breaks and twist and even a large "X" formation. So I thought I would plot a map of this general area. All of this is within 1 mile tops. The one sighting is from back in the 40's but the others are much more recent.

Just got in another report of a Thunderbird sighting. If anyone has had sighting, please send us a report by Clicking Here

Date of Sighting: Summer in mid 1990
Time of Day: late afternoon
Nearest Town: York
Length of Sighting: about 2 minutes
How many Witnesses: 4
Any Photos/Videos: no
Describe sighting in detail:

"Mom, Dad, my brother and myself were on the front porch at the end of the day. It was very quiet. All of a sudden you could hear this "whoooosh, whoooosh" starting quietly but increasing in volume. At it's loudest point a shadow fell over and covered the ENTIRE porch, and we looked up and could see in great detail a giant bird, completely black, with huge talons. It was very low to the ground, only mere FEET higher than our 1 story home. I remember the family being in complete shock, and shrinking back under the roof of the porch as it swooped a bit lower, then back up into the sky and headed west, disappearing over the trees. We will never forget this strange experience. We've told people about it. I just saw a thunderbird sighting on youtube, which led me here to report."

Thanks for the report Ashley.

Cuddly Creature VS. Murderous Monster

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.




There seems to be two lines of thought concerning bigfoot's personality.  Hollywood and film makers almost always portray Bigfoot as a blood thirsty murderous monster. This has seemed to be pretty much the norm, from the 1970 film Bigfoot to more recent titles like 2009's, Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon. Even good 'ol boy John Schneider from Dukes of Hazard fame got in on the bigfoot films with Snow Beast.  Images and thoughts of a giant murderous monster in the woods has fascinated and frightened almost everyone at some point in their life. In some cases the movies even portray bigfoot as a sex crazed monster.

In most cases, movies about Bigfoot going on killing rampages have not been very good. How can anyone forget the horrible made for TV Syfy movie Bigfoot, oh it had several recognizable names in it, from Alice Cooper to Danny Bonaduce. It also had a much too large, CGI bigfoot. Sometime I wonder if anyone actually made it through the whole film and how such bad scripts even get funded.

Now, before anyone gets all hot and bothered, there have been some movies that portrayed bigfoot in a much better light. Who can forget the lovable film Harry and the Hendersons starring John Lithgow or the more recent Letters from the Big Man.

I recently got in a report about a Thunderbird sighting in Montana and wanted to share it with everyone. I have also started adding theses type of sightings to our sightings map.



Name: Matthew O'Brien
Email Address: *****************
State: Montana
County: Unsure - along 1-90
Date of Sighting: October 1987
Time of Day: Afternoon
Nearest Town: Unsure
Length of Sighting: 15 seconds or less
How many Witnesses: 2 - Me and my Father
Any Photos/Videos: No
Describe sighting in detail: While on a road trip with my dad, middle of Montana on 1-90, the giant bird flew over us, flying south to north.  Largest bird I have ever seen, bigger than an eagle or turkey vulture.  Estimate wingspan of 15-20 feet.  Shaped like a bird of prey.  Brief sighting, as we were driving at 60mph on the freeway.  Saw it through the windshield for 10 or 15 seconds before we weren't under it anymore.  It was perhaps a few hundred feet up in the air.

Here is a general map of I-90
