The Eastern Newt

Animal Facts -  Animals are fascinating. In this series, we hope to share facts about numerous animals that inhabit our planet. Learning more about known animals and their behavior, it can help us when we are exploring unknown and undiscovered creatures.

Episode 2 is about the Eastern Newt - What an amazing creature. The Eastern Newt has 3 interesting stages of life that are very much different from each other. And on some occasions, stage 2 is skipped altogether.

Here is the short video - give it a watch.

Exploring Another Old Coal Mine & Sharing Thoughts

Another day and another adventure out in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. The temperatures have been pretty chilly in the early morning hours. Even though my knee is not all the way back to normal, I wanted to hit the mountains and look for ginseng and bigfoot evidence. Winter is just around the corner and during that time I will have very limited outside time, so better make the best of the fall time.

This was an outing that took place on September 27th and this post will contain a total of 2 videos. In the videos I share many thoughts about several topics....and yes I know the videos are rather long and they will not get many views...but they are what they are. If you want to know some of my thoughts while looking at some beautiful scenery, then you might like the videos. 

On this particular day, I started out early and was heading out to explore for bigfoot evidence and to look for ginseng. During the outing, which covered around 6 miles in rough terrain, I stumbled across another series of old coal mine openings. But before we get into some of that here is, for lack of a better term, video 1.

Alberta Bigfoot Picture

This photo is said to have been taken in August 2012 from a trail cam. On September 6, 2012, a woman named Penny shared it on YouTube. It has had over 25,000 views.

Penny claims to have received this photo from an Albertan nature lover who wished to remain anonymous. The photo has been shared by www.MysteryHistory.tv and http://whofortedblog.com.

You can watch the YouTube video below.

Black Panther Sighting

Here in my general area of Kentucky I have heard stories about black panther sightings many times in my life. Some stories where when I was young and some as I became an adult. Then one day I actually saw a black panther for myself. I was on my ATV and as I turned a curve, it was standing the roadway. It had a very long tail and it bolted off to my left and up a small dry rocky water stream. Of course I didn't get a picture or anything but I know what I saw.

We recently got a report sent in of another black panther sighting and I wanted to share it.

Here is the report.

The American Black Bear

Animals are fascinating and the more we know and learn about them the better. While I want our research team to present the many mysteries our world offers, I also want to keep learning and sharing information about other topics, including wildlife. 

So, I started a series on Youtube called "Animal Facts". My hope is to not only learn more about wildlife but to help others learn about them as well. Learning more about known animals and their behavior, it can help us when we are exploring unknown and undiscovered creatures.

The first episode is on The American Black Bear. In the video below you can learn about lifespan, size, attacks, some unusual behaviors, and more.

"Hey Bigfoot" -- Boy Films Bigfoot In His Backyard

On October 16, 2010, a young boy filmed a bigfoot in his backyard. For awhile there it was one of the most watched and believed in videos out there. Not many talk about it today.

It's not particularly well filmed. The camera jogs around, loses the target here and there. And there is blur. But it seems to be genuine. It seems to be believable. It's some very interesting footage. So why isn't it presented as good proof? Why doesn't it appear on those "famous" the top [insert any number] bigfoot videos? Well, that can only be answered by those who make those lists, I guess.

Anyhow, I was reminded of the footage by Leo the other day while we were talking sasquatch, bigfoot, and cryptids in general. So I went looking for it. The original YouTube account had been terminated and their video no longer available through that account. Luckily, others who really liked this video have preserved it for our continued viewing pleasure. But first the story [slim as it is] behind the video.

Bigfoot Photo - Mark Anders Creation

There is a photo making the rounds again. It appears to have been started by an Instagram user, accidentally. He used this photo [above] along with a photo of a footprint in snow and posted them to his followers on his account. He/she presented them as a form of "What would you do if ? . . ." and gave the readers a list of answers of what they would do if confronted with the subjects of the photos.

And now this photo is making the rounds on all the bigfoot/sasquatch/cryptid sites with no background, making everyone go "OOH" and "AHH".

Well hold onto your hats. 

Mountain Time - Exploring for Bigfoot & Ginseng

Today (now yesterday 9/17/21), and really the day before, I had just not been feeling like myself. Just had no energy and just didn't feel like doing anything. I was very lethargic and knew I had to get myself out of it. So, I decided to get myself ready and go to the mountains. We all know nature and the outdoors in general has healing property for most of us. 

I slowly got ready and got all my gear loaded into the truck. I had planned on making myself climb the mountains until I was feeling better. If I had to hike 10 miles, I was going to do it.

So, what follows is about a 10-minute video that is filled with my thoughts, findings, and beautiful scenery. I hope you enjoy it.

Children Watching Bigfoot Of Lincolnville, S.C.

First came the awful smell. Then they could see the red eyes watching them from the woods.

It all seemed to start on June 24, making the summer of 1970 one to be remembered. Lincolnville was a small town, heavily wooded, near the Ashley River and Lake Moultrie. With not much around town to entertain the children, they would meet up at the witness's house and usually play hide and seek. As the six children played, they would first become aware of an awful odor, as if something was dead. As they would slow their play and look around, they would see the red eyes watching them from the woods along the rear of the property, behind the chain link fence that ran around the one to two acres of land.

The witness was not certain how tall this watcher was, just that it was taller than any human she knew. The first time the watcher appeared, the children were so frightened they all ran into the house where the grandmother and cousin were told of the watcher. They did not believe the children's story.

Possible Dogman Seen in Harlan County

I got the following report in a few days ago of a possible dogman sighting in the Totz community of Harlan county. After gathering a little more information and looking at the area on google maps the report is ready to share. 

I should also say that this is an area I'm generally familiar with and travel near or through on occasions.

Here is the report and my email exchange with the witness.

A YOWIE STATUE IN A PARK IN AUSTRALIA

Australia And White Yowie - The White Bigfoot Series

North America is not alone with reports of white-haired bipedal beings. Australia has a few reports.

It's difficult to research as it seems most reports [especially the earliest ones] make no mention of hair color.  However, I did find these three reports of white, or light colored, yowie in Australia.

The first report I want to talk about was reported in April 1979 by Leo George and his wife Patricia. They lived in the Wentworth Fall, NSW region and often walked there.

Bigfoot Seen Entering Old Coal Mine

I had heard about this sighting of two bigfoots entering an old coal mine a few months back. I recently gathered more details and location information. So, it was time to venture into the wilds of the Kentucky forest to see if I could find the site. 

Some of what I will type here is also in the video and some of the things referenced in the video will be linked in this post.

Before we get to the video, let me give you a little background on this sighting.

Research Into The White Sasquatch

Some of the more interesting questions center around colors of bigfoot or sasquatch.
Anything other than brown or black is considered rare.

But I haven't found that to be true as I've gathered and explored reports both old and new.

There are many colors and hues among these beings.

John Green conducted a study of the reports he had gathered and came to this conclusion : 50% were of black or dark colored; 25% brown; 15% light colored and 8% grey.  If I'm adding right, it appears he felt only 2% had no description.
