Game Cam Images from Area 1

I know this may not be a very exciting post but knowing what animals are in an area can help us decide if the area is capable of supporting a Bigfoot. I know this area I call "Area 1" has plenty of fresh water and an ample food supply.

So I thought I would share a short video of some of the animals I captured on this last setup of the game camera.

Here is the short video.
Shad Bay area
 I just got in another report from Canada. The report is several years old but it was a very up close sighting. Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Alisha

Email Address: On file

State: Nova Scotia

Country: Canada

Date of Sighting: may 15 2010

Time of Day: 11:30 pm

Nearest Town: Halifax

Length of Sighting:

How many Witnesses: 3

Any Photos/Videos:

Describe sighting in detail:

It was a very clear moonlit night and I was driving home from work in Shad bay area. As I started up a hill I noticed a fur tree on the side of the road shake. And out of the woods came some kind of animal that was very tall standing on two legs.

In a matter for 2 seconds it walked out onto the road in front of my car and i slammed on the breaks with it inches from my bumper.

It had to be at least 8 feet tall and had reddish brown fur or hair. It looked right at me and I froze still and couldn't believe what I was seeing. The greenish glow of the eyes seemed to pierce right threw me.

It looked very muscular, almost like a  horse would with a long coat. This all happened in a matter of seconds and another car coming from the opposite direction stopped immediately after coming over the hill and the creature took a few strides and was gone.

The couple in the other car pulled up along side mine and said "what the f**k was that. I was still in shock and barley could get a word out. We talked from a brief minute but I just wanted to get home.

This happened only a few minutes from my house and to this day I will not go outside by myself at nigh and thinking of this still makes my hair stand on end! I have heard others have seen something like this around the area before.

- End Report -

A big thanks to Alisha for submitting her sighting. Yes, indeed there has been other reports close to this area. We have had a few reports from the Nova Scoita area. One in particular was from Leo Frank.

Thanks

RODS - Real or Bugs?

I can remember back in the 90s when RODS were making a big splash. These RODS were really a big deal for many cryptozoologists back around this time. RODS were discovered by Jose Escamilla. For those who may not know Mr. Escamilla is a producer of UFO video documentaries.

I think, best I can remember, the main claim is that RODS are a new living creature that was undiscovered until the middle 90s. That these things were almost everywhere, flying over our heads. 

I can remember watching a video about RODS and then years later watching a clip of where they were debunked as being only bugs.

At one time, I think some even claimed them to be small UFOs.

Well, whatever they are, I managed to capture one on the game camera. Here is the video.

The mythic creature Leshy, also sometimes call the Wood Demon, is based on Slavic Mythology.
Leshy, sometime called wild man, is said to be a woodland spirit and a protector of animals and the forest.

Leshy is often described as a tall creature that can shape shift. He is said to have a beard made out of living grass and vines. In some description, the Leshy has a tail, horns and hoofed feet. Some say he carries a wooden club and is the lord of the forest.

The over all appearance of the Leshy is that of a man, but with a more pointy head and a few other oddities. It is said that the Leshy likes to play tricks on people in the forest and confuse travelers.  The legend says that you may hear the Leshy laughing, singing or whistling while you are in the woods. But be careful, if angered the Leshy can become very dangerous.

There are many other descriptions and behaviors for the Leshy, even one where he has blue skin. The Leshy is always male and in some tellings he has a wife and children.

From all the different descriptions and the wide range of behavior, it appears the Leshy is kind of a free flowing legend. A legend that can adapt and change when needed to fit the scenario.

In my brief research of the Leshy, it seems to also have some of the same characteristic and roots as the United Kingdom's Woodwose.

Some tie and connect the Leshy to  Bigfoot which I guess seems fitting, as Bigfoot is often called the wild man of the forest. 


Thanks

Unknown Sounds Recorded

I recently purchased a sound recorder that I can leave out overnight in the woods. The reason I got this was that I recently had some odd sounds in Area 1.

After checking out the manual on the recorder I decided to give it a test overnight. I placed it out in Area 2, which is basically right where I live. There have been 2 Bigfoot sightings, one by me, in the immediate area, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try the recorder.

During the night I did manage to record some common sounds with the recorder. For some reason, the dogs were barking like made for a short span. I also recorded a lot of frog and bug sounds.

There were some odd sounds. It sounds like voices, but again some dogs are barking and making it hard to hear. During the night there were also some odd bangs. So I have enhanced these sounds and made a short video.  I'm NOT claiming any of this was done or made by a Bigfoot, I'm just saying I don't know what made the sounds.

Here is the video

Unknown Cave Creature in TN - Part 5

This is just a quick update on the mystery of the unknown creature seen in an unmapped cave in Tennessee. There have been some discoveries in the past month or so. There have been some new chambers and more writings discovered. The cave also contains flint rock, which we all assume the Indians mined to make arrowheads and other things.

Here is the short video

Massive UFO cluster - Photo by Chris Light.
You may need to click on the above photo to see it better, but there are at least 33 objects and the mysterious black spot in the middle, in this photo.

This was taken a few days ago by our friend Christ Light. He witnessed this large cluster of UFOs and then several more unusual objects. He also witness some known objects, such as fighter jet speeding towards these unknown objects.





Does this object look familiar ? This looks very much like the reported UFO seen in 1965 Kecksburg, PA UFO report. Has it made a reappearance after all this time? Yes, this object was moving. Chris stated it was sitting still for a little while and then moved. If I recall correctly, Chris told me the object flew straight up and out of sight.






 





What is this object? It appears to have a smaller middle section joining the 2 halves. Why was all this activity taking place at that same time?











What about this object? It does not appear to be any type of known aircraft.

This total event lasted near 90 minutes, with many different and unknown aircraft.  Later that night there was also some strange lights in the night sky but it seems the bulk of the activity took place that evening.

Chris has photoed and filmed many strange and unusual objects over the last few years.







There was also some more interesting events today. There was a strong military air present in this exact spot. Chris was able to take several photos of that as well. I will only post this one photo from today, but there are several more.

During the UFO event from a few days before there were also many more photos taken and of different unknown craft. But one of the strangest things was the opening of a black hole. A black hole in which some craft came out of. If you notice in the very top picture there is a black spot in the center of it.

Now, all of this happened near Kingsport, Tennessee. The unknown object photos are clearly not military aircraft, at least anything I or Chris have ever seen. We also talked about the G-forces ... humans can only take so much and some of these things were moving at incredible speeds.

I spoke with Chris on the phone and there are many more details of what he seen and what went on, it is truly amazing. It really has an alien feel to it. 

Now, I wonder if anyone else in the area witnessed any of this event? If so, I urge you to contact me immediately!

A very big thanks to Chris and his watch of the sky. Stuff like this makes me wonder just how many times things have been flying over my head and I never even noticed it. Over the years I have personally witnessed several UFOs but nothing as massive as this event. 


I will do my best to update if any thing more happens.


Thanks
~Tom~

General Area
I got this report submitted a few days ago. I hope they can manage to get a recording of the sounds.

Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Brenda
Email Address: On File
State: WV
County: Gilmer
Date of Sighting: April 1 2015
Time of Day: Between 10:30 and 12:00 midnight
Nearest Town: Sand fork
Length of Sighting: 3-4 minutes
How many Witnesses: 4
Any Photos/Videos: no
Describe sighting in detail:

My daughter and I went outside to smoke and we heard something like we never heard before. We really didn't know what it was. We just looked at each other and said did you hear that and we heard it again.

The blood in my body ran cold. I wanted to call the police fearing someone up in the woods was hurt, but being new to the area was afraid they would think I was crazy. Still to this day I pray no one was up there.

Anyways we just stood there trying to figure out what we heard. I text my other daughter and told her to make sure all her doors and windows were locked. Oh course it being April fools day she thought we were playing.

The next morning we informed our neighbors and come to our surprise one of them had heard it to . He told us they went for a walk in the woods earlier that day 4-1-15 and he dropped his knife and went back later that evening to look for it and heard what he said may have been a coyote. At this point what I heard was not a coyote. this sound was something I could never forget. Last night I was watching - for the first time a show called Mountain Monsters.

Now during that show they were in Washington county pa. they caught on tape the same sound I heard that night on 4-1-15.

Truth be told I'm 99.9% afraid to go outside now because there is no doubt in my mind that what I heard was a Bigfoot or dustman. On 4-2-15 I went down to my daughters to explain it was no April fools joke. She knew in my face what I had told her was true. I still get choked up about it, remembering and hoping no one was up there.

Later that day my daughter informs me that her neighbor lady heard something horrifying too. See now I really had wished I would have call the police. But here I am now letting you all know.
Please help. Just come and look in the woods were we heard the sound. Thanks  sincerely Brenda

- End Report -

Unfortunately, this area is over 260 miles away from me in one direction and I don't have a team member close to the area. So, I can't come to the area and check it out. I do know that West Virginia is a very good location for Bigfoot and that there has been many reports from there.

I would like to encourage Brenda to attempt to get a sound recording of these unknown howls. Maybe, then we can rules out some different animals and maybe see if this indeed could be a Bigfoot.

A big thanks to Brenda for submitting the report.


Thanks
~Tom~

A few days ago I received an interesting email. It was about animal communicators and the email stated that the sender had had "some heartwarming and amazing experiences communicating with various species of animals by way of animal communicators".

She also ask me the question "Has anyone ever tried to establish communication with
bigfeet people by way of an animal communicator who has a proven track record?"

Well, to be honest I had never really thought about the use of a animal communicator in an attempt to communicate with Bigfoot. I do know that some make claims that Bigfoot can "Mind speak" but this is something I have never experienced.

So, as I was thinking about the possibilities, some things started to come to my mind about the whole idea of using an animal communicator.

I guess the first thing would be for the animal communicator to team up with one of the people who have been habituating with Bigfoot for many years. I think this would increase the chances of the forest people being around and if there was already a relationship, it would make the whole process easier.

I know of several people who claim to have a habituation relationship with groups of Bigfoot. I don't know if they would be interested in an animal communicator or not.

For those who might not be familiar with animal communicators here is a very basic definition.

Animal Communication is a form of intuitive or telepathic communication, a non-verbal language with animals.

Some communicators claim that we are all basically born with this ability but most fail to learn to use it.

During my email exchange I was send a website which is basically a directory of animal communicators. As I looked it over I noticed that there are basically communicators spread all over the United States. There are even listings for many other countries as well. I also noticed a lot of the communicators has been doing this service many many years and even offer to communicate with dead pets.

Now, I'll be first to admit I don't know much about this type of service or ability but have heard about it in days gone by.

So, I guess my questions for the readers would be:

1. Do you think this type of thing would work with Bigfoot?

2. Have you ever used a animal communicator, and if so what was the results?
3. Would any of the Bigfoot habituators be interested in trying an animal communicator? 


If anyone is interested in this service, here is the link to the directory
Animal Communicator Directory

Please feel free to leave some comments and thoughts about Animal Communicators.

Thanks

Westmoreland County, PA
I recently got this report of what could have been a possible Bigfoot in Westmoreland County, Pa. Over the years there has been numerous reports of Bigfoot in Pa.

Here is the report.

- Start Report - 

Name: Jessica
Email Address: On File
State: Pa
County: Westmoreland
Date of Sighting: Feb 2008?
Time of Day:
Nearest Town: Grapeville
Length of Sighting:
How many Witnesses:
Any Photos/Videos: Used to be
Describe sighting in detail:

We take our dog around the side to the back of the house to relieve himself.  One night I took him, a purebred German Shepard.  The backyard is very dark, no lights.  He stopped right at the edge of the light from the street, hackles went up from tip to tail.

He began a very low, deep growl and began backing up.  It scared me and caught me off guard.  I asked him what was wrong as he was pacing like a lion in a cage would do, his gaze fixed on one spot.  I began shaking, wondering if we were about to be attacked, by what?  I hadn't a clue.  My ears were filled with my own fear so I don't remember hearing anything but my dog growling.  I yelled, "I'm going to let him go and can't be held responsible for what he will do to you!"

Then my dog, proving me a liar, turned tail and ran to the front.  How I kept up, I still don't know.  He got to the front door and pawed and whined at it until we got inside.  I told my hubby, but got the usual "you're crazy woman".

It was forgotten about until two days later when we had a few inches of snowfall overnight.  I went to our dining room to look out over the backyard to the snow and noticed a very odd line of tracks.

They were long, three toed, with broad steps.  It appeared to be made by something with 2 legs the way they were laid out.  I know bunny tracks, I know cat and dog tracks.  These looked nothing like those. They were too big, toes too spaced out, too deep.  Even my hubby was stumped.  We did take cellphone pics, unfortunately those pics were lost with the phone.

 I'd forgotten about it for a year or more, until our local community college, WCCC had its first ufo/bigfoot conf.  There I met Stan Gordon and on his display table I was so excited I couldn't speak!
The exact same tracks we had witnessed!  I asked him where he got those, and truly sounded like a babbling idiot.  He perked up when I told him where we lived.  Then he proceeds to tell us about the great Bigfoot scare of the 70's in Grapeville!  I nearly fainted!

 I've never seen those type of tracks since.  The only other time our dog acted like that was in Grafton WV camping in my moms trailer.  He fixated, growled, paced and I couldn't get him to come til he turned tail and ran again.  I immediately ran inside and locked the door.  Whether it was a bear or bigfoot, I really didn't want to encounter either alone.  Just thought I'd share, thanks!

- End Report -

Thanks to Jessica for the cool story. It sure sounds like you might have got a visit from a Bigfoot. It's a shame the photos were lost.


Thanks

Attempt To Return To Game Cam Spot Of Bigfoot Photo

Okay, so after releasing my Game Cam photo of Bigfoot, I got some "good job" comments and some negative comments but someone made the suggestion that I return to the spot or something to that effect.

So when I recently went out to set my game cams and do a little field research I thought I would attempt to find the exact spot I had the game camera.

It's been about 2 years now and I have been in this general area many, many times but trying to the exact spot proved to be a little difficult and somewhat frustrating.

Here is a video of my efforts.
