Sit back and enjoy this special edition of Monster X Radio: Animal Extant, Relict Plesiosaurs with special guest Scott Mardis.

Monster X Radio: Animal Extant is a show about general cryptozoology and possible relict extant species that may still roam among us. Hosted by Mike Richburg and Dorraine Fisher, each episode will explore the possibility of the existence of mysterious unknown creatures and those perhaps thought lost to time. Future episodes will focus on the Mokele Mbembe, The Dogman, Lake Monsters, Megalodon, Giant Birds, Large Melanistic Cats, The Jersey Devil, The Chupacabra, and many more.

Scott Mardis has been an active field investigator of the Lake Champlain “Monster” since 1992. He is a former sustaining member of the defunct International Society of Cryptozoology and a former volunteer worker in the Vertebrate Paleontology Dept. of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences (1990-1992). He co-authored a scientific abstract about the Lake Champlain hydrophone sounds for the Acoustical Society of America in 2010. He currently lives in Bradenton, Florida.

Mike Richburg was born and raised in South Carolina, where he had an encounter with a Swamp Ape in 1978 that had a profound impact on the course of his life. Mike has since been very involved with Cryptozoological Field Investigation, interviewing eyewitnesses and investigating such things as The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, The Fort Motte Devil, The Dogman, Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, The Rimini Goat Thief, Giant Birds and Snakes, just to name a few. Mike is very much at home in the swamps of the American Southeast, and frequents places few others would. Mike previously was a part of The Big Thicket Watch, and CryptoLogic Radio.

Dorraine Fisher lives in Florida. She is an author, photographer, and team writer and associate for the research group, The Crypto Crew, who's written numerous articles on the subject of cryptozoology.

Lake Champlain is a 125 mile (201 km) long strip of freshwater lake located between New York State and Vermont, extending all the way up into Quebec, Canada. It is named for Samuel De Champlain, the founder of Quebec. It’s a beautiful area, but the most interesting thing about it is the legend of Champ, the monster that’s believed to live in the lake.

And Champlain was the first recorded European who claimed to have seen the creature. He described it as “20-foot serpent thick as a barrel, and a head like a horse." Many believe the creature could possibly be a relic plesiousaur, a dinosaur believed to have become extinct during the early part of the Jurassic period, but somehow managed to survive after the lake dried up somewhat and was cut off from the larger body of salt water which included the Atlantic Ocean.

Many people in the area believe the stories are just legend with no real basis except to boost tourism around the lake. But since Champlain’s time, there have been hundreds of sightings, but very little concrete evidence.

But that may have changed when two fisherman in the area claimed to have spotted the creature and caught it on video. 

Watch this footage carefully and tell us what you think.

Today's weird ebay find is of a mounted Bigfoot. Of course, we have seen similar items like this one in the past. Normally they are made out of the rump of a deer. I'm assuming this one is also made from a deer's butt. I think this one is a pretty good representation of our ol' buddy bigfoot. But what I find somewhat shocking about this piece is the price. The price is set at $25,000! I was like C'mon if you don't want to sell it then just don't list it ....then I noticed it has 32 people watching this listing. So maybe the price is not so shocking to others...well at least 32 of them.

Here is what the description say about the item.

"Up for sale is an actual Bigfoot shoulder mount! I would tell you how we "acquired" this Sasquatch in the swamps of the Aucilla River, but you wouldn't believe me anyhow. We have had this Yeti in our family for many many years. It just may be the only proof that Bigfoot truly exists! It's time for it to go, our cats, dog, kids and a few adult neighbors are all to afraid of it. This is truly rare and a one of a kind.

This is your once in a life-time opportunity to own a legit Sasquatch wall-hanger. Not even Basspro or Cabelas owns a YETI. The only pictures of a Bigfoot mount you will find on the internet are of only this stud. The next one we find we will mount the entire body, but we could only afford the shoulder mount at the time we harvested this big guy. He stood over 7.5 feet tall and weighed to much for our scales to accurately measure. Local pickup is preferred; however, we could arrange for shipping if you are not local. Please inquire."


So, from the description, I'm assuming they are trying to pass it off as a real Sasquatch? Is that why people are interested in it at that price? I also assume they are just joking but maybe the gullible are taking the bait.

I still think it would be a cool item to have but not at that price. If you would like to check it out for yourself and see the other pictures, then  JUST CLICK HERE

If anyone buys this, let us know.

 Also, I make no claims or promises about this item, I'm only sharing the listing and my thoughts about it. I do not know the person selling it and have not had any contact with them.




Thanks

In between taking in reports and doing our own research, we also look at other videos, pictures and stories to post here. Plus we have various other projects we work on like youtube videos, books and other things. Some of it is for entertainment, some of it is to share evidence, some of it is to help weed out hoaxes and some of it is an effort to get a person to think deeper or differently about certain subjects.

Sometimes, like today, we will feature various videos. Sometimes, we ask other peoples opinion about them while giving ours. I know some people you could not convince them a video was fake no matter what you told or showed them. On the other hand you have videos that might be of a real Bigfoot and you can't convince them it might be real either. So, I guess it is best not to worry much about changing other peoples minds, as it is about sharing our/your opinions. Our opinions for videos and reports are based on what we see and what experience we have ...just like other peoples. Beside, giving an opinion on any topic is the fastest way to get attacked. So, for what it is worth, my opinion of the following video is that it is a hoax.

Here is the video.


Here is what the description below the video says:
"A man sent us this footage of a supposed bigfoot or sasquatch sighting. He says that he took it in the Spring of 2015 but was to nervous or embarrassed to show anyone who might think he was crazy. He found our channel and submitted it to us for our bigfoot breakdown."

So there is not really a lot to go on from the description. I do know that often times people wait years to tell about seeing a bigfoot. I think many are afraid people will make fun of them or just not believe them.It is also feasible that the guy was just filming the stream and heard something, but who knows for sure.

To me, the figure looks like some type of cheap gorilla suit. The face kind of looks like it is plastic. I have no evidence to back that up, just going by what I see. The guy that filmed it may not have been privy to any of this, he may be a a victim of a prank/hoax. I don't know.




I have grabbed a still frame from the video and zoomed in on the figure. You still can't see much detail. But at least I made a sloppy effort. I did not take the time to run this video on my editing software and break it down. Just call me lazy, I guess.








So, what do you think about the video? Is it real or fake? Does it make you want to visit Utah?




Thanks

I recently found a possible old trackline in the snow. The stride is 5 foot or more. I didn't move the tape measure between the photos on the left.

Toe to toe, it's around a 5' 5" stride. This is very close to the place where there was a bigfoot sighting back in November. (Post found here)

The pattern and stride of these track seem to be consistent with a bigfoot trackline. Of course with what appears to be some snow melt or possible blowing snow, I can not see any definition of toes.

There appears to be 13 individual tracks in this line that lead off into the woods.





The snow is about 6 inches deep and the tracks seems to have made a pretty deep impression. This suggest that what ever made these tracks was probably pretty heavy.


Here are a few more photos.
 


Close up of one single track. Appears to be about a 13-14 inch track.

  
Another view of the track line leading up into the woods.

Of course, in the end I can not say for sure what made these tracks, but I also can not rule out that a bigfoot might have made them.

Also, I should mention that these were found in New Hampshire on Feb. 18th .

I did follow the tracks into the woodline, I didn't find much. The tracks went to a bare area, and I lost them.

What an incredible event we had on Saturday (20th) for a couple of great kids. Overall, we had a very good turnout and raised some money for Hunter and Luke. The city of Jenkins was very welcoming to all of us and Mayor Todd Depriest was very helpful in getting things set up.

If you missed the event, I will write a brief summary and share some of the photos. The event was a Bigfoot presentation event with the main goal being to raise some funds for two families devastated by the terrible thing we call cancer. I think we would be hard-pressed to find any person whose life has not been touched in some way by cancer. Somewhere in our lives we have had someone, family or friend, suffer from cancer. So, we were more than happy to take part in this event.

Areas mentioned in the reports

There are several reports of white bigfoot here in my area of Southeastern Kentucky. We also have a white bigfoot report just across the state line, over in Tennessee. You may remember an my interview with Steve.  Well, now I have got some new reports of a white bigfoot from Tennessee. This white bigfoot has been seen multiple times.
Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Cary

Email Address: on file

State: TN

County: Franklin

Date of Sighting: August 96? 97?

Time of Day: 9:00pm?

Nearest Town: Belvidere

Length of Sighting: maybe 6 seconds

How many Witnesses: 2

Any Photos/Videos: no

Describe sighting in detail: 
That summer my sister and cousin were checking out my sisters new car. It was close to 9:00pm and we lived on a dead end road that borders Mingo Swamp. There is a lot of forest area that surrounded our house. We had the only light pole at the time to give any light. It was very dark there at night.
My sister decided to drive the car up the road and my cousin went with her. She had her lights on bright and had passed my grandparents road.

There is a field of corn on one side of the road and a nursery on the other. As they neared the nursery barn, they noticed a huge white figure step out of the corn. It may have been 30 yards ahead.
Both said this 8 foot white hairy looking creature with a cone shaped head stepped quickly across the road.Her lights that were able to show enough across the road that they saw the white figure start to run into the darkness beyond the fence.
They looked at each other shocked. Locked the doors and quickly as they could turned around in the narrow road.

I remember they both came in talking fast and looked quite scared. My younger cousin kept saying that they had seen a monster cross the road. My sister described what she saw. It walked upright on two legs. We questioned them for awhile about deer. Finally we cracked a few jokes and forgot about it.

Not too long after that late one night my brother heard the dogs raging outside. He thought maybe someone was messing around the house. He went to the back door and turned on the light. He then went back to get his gun and investigate. As he walked back into the kitchen, he said he saw a large white hairy figure cross right by the glass door. It unnerved him I think but he went out and saw the dogs had moved to edge of the woods like they were following something. He said they would not go any further than the backyard.

When he and I were both walking around the nursery many years before, we were talking and my brother got really quite. He was looking into some of the saplings and bushes growing in the nursery. He looked disturbed. I ask him what was wrong. He said he saw a white face looking at him from out of those trees. I asked what he meant? All he could describe was a white face with red eyes.

We lived 14 miles from Flintville, Tn. and a few miles further from Kelso were there were reports in the 70s to 90s.A white creature has been seen in Kelso. We were not far from the Elk River. A lot of woods, hills, water, and farmland. There is a large deer population. And a friend of mine camped by the river one night and said he heard a huge splash. He had been asleep in the cab. The fire outside had died down to coals. He started hearing small rocks like hitting the outside of his truck. He heard a few footsteps. In a little while a huge black shape crossed in front of the coals. He claims their was enough light from the moon that he watched this huge black shape walk pass the cab. A little later it walked past the other side. Then everything was quite for the rest of the night.

- End Reports -

Thanks goes to Cary for sharing these reports and giving good details.

If you have a report to share, please use the link at the top of the page.


UPDATE

I recently received an update from Cary. He has taken some photos of the area. Here is what he said and the photos.

"This is Cary who gave you the account of the white Bigfoot recently in Franklin County Tennessee. I went to the place and took a couple photos of place were the Bigfoot was sighted years ago by my sister. The first photo is the road and where my sister had come to almost a halt in the road when she saw it step out. To the right was where the old cornfield was and now grown up with some pretty good size saplings. Just ahead to the right is where it stepped out from cornfield into the road. The second photo I walked down to the exact spot she showed were the creature crossed and is a picture looking out into the old nursery that it began to run.    Thanks, Cary "

Here are the 2 pictures that Cary sent in.



Once again, a big thanks to Cary for following up with some photos of the area.

 

Thanks
