Ranchita Bigfoot Photograph

The Ranchita Bigfoot photograph [or Wood Ape] was allegedly taken in September 2011 by an anonymous hiker. It was not presented to the public for almost a year.

The photographer said that he was taking photos in the Ranchito area of southern California. He took a variety of pictures around the area, including two photos of a pile of dead branches. [Some sources claim three photos were taken.]  When the ones of the branches were taken, they were thought to have been debris as a result of a flood. There is no photograph presented to show a river or even a dry river bed to support that theory.

The photographer stated that he never saw the head or the creature in the second picture until a year later, when he was going through his photos from the previous year. On September 20, 2012, Mark Anders posted his YouTube video featuring the story and photos.

The History of the Ouija Board (Part 2)

In part one, we learned that the Ouija Board 'game' came to be after it was discovered being used in Spiritualist camps in Ohio. But where did the device come from? And who first designed it?

"Spirit Rapping" was first used in 1848. Questions were asked out loud and the spirits would answer through rapping, or tapping. It was a long and tedious process as the alphabet was recited until a rap was heard to choose a letter. Then the alphabet was begun again for the next letter. And so on.

Mediums began looking for quicker ways to communicate with the dead. Some of them began printing out the alphabet and numbers on a board or a card. They would then sweep a pencil over it while asking a question and wait for a knock to designate the letter. Some also resorted to "Table Tipping". The medium would have everyone gather around a small to medium-sized table and have them place their hands on it. Eventually, the table would start moving. Questions would be asked and the table would rap out responses to the called-out alphabet.

 Answered - Drone Catches Something Powerful Trying To Tear Down Tree

The video of what many, even popular youtubers, claim to be a bigfoot ripping trees out of the ground now has some clarity thanks to the person who was operating the drone. Hint: Its NOT bigfoot.

When I saw the video, I could see there is clear evidence that logging is going on in the area, after all I worked as a logger for a few years. It also appears the video was actually shot a couple years ago, but that is just like armchair researchers to find an innocent video and fool people into thinking it is a bigfoot.

But yet the video has caught fire thanks to social media and the uninformed. Here is a screen shot from the person who was operating the drone as to what it is.

Del Norte Bigfoot Sighting, California - 1995

In 1995 two teenage boys appear to have captured a sasquatch on film. If they ever shared the footage to the internet, it is lost in the debris of the information flood.

In November 2012, the video was shared to YouTube on two different channels.

HuntForBigfoot posted the footage with a script crediting the sighting to two teenage boys: Daniel Fearing [age 17] and Michael Troup [age 15]. It also lists the encounter as being in 2005. Most sources mention it being in 1995. It is also sometimes known as The Fering Film.

But Crypto Crew Founder, Thomas Marcum, did a couple of breakdowns of the video. Here is one of them.

Early Fuld Ouija Board

The History of the Ouija Board (Part 1)

 
Most people think of the Ouija board as a Victorian séance tool or just a Parker Brothers game board. They see them used in the movies and have a good scare fest as the board summons demons and evil spirits that try to take over the people using the board.

But there is much more to this device than most know. Its origins reach back into history -- diving deep into man's desire to reach loved ones who have died or his desire to know what happens when we die.

First, let's take a look at the most recent history of the Ouija Board -- how it became a popular game/psychic tool in the United States. 

On the Hunt for the British Bigfoot

There is a new book out from Lee Brickley and it is about bigfoot in the UK. We know that over the last few years the idea of bigfoot being in the UK has become more acceptable. At one time the idea was totally dismissed without a seconds thought. There has been a nice uptick over, lets say over the last 10 years, of witnesses coming forward and reporting their sightings or encounters. And interest in the subject has grown.

Brickley's book brings you some of the most compelling and often shocking encounters with a man-monkey-type creature thought to roam the Staffordshire woodlands. Brickley began his research into the British Bigfoot in 2019 after he received a number of sighting reports from the Cannock Chase forest in England. While his investigation is far from over, this book offers an insight into the weirdest and most frightening sightings uncovered so far.

Prince Edward Island Bigfoot or Nathan Wiley's Bigfoot video

"In June 2001 while in the woods shooting a scene for a home movie with a friend being chased by bad guys, a large, black and furry creature bolted from the tree-line, ran across the clearing and then disappeared into the woods."  -- PEIbigfoot

FOLKLORE A BIG PART OF APPALACHIAN CULTURE

Another Unknown Creature Seen At Virginia Beach,VA

I recently got another report of an unusual creature sighting from Virginia Beach, VA. This actually makes the second report, of what I will now assume is the same creature, from this area. This report and the previous both describe what sounds like the same being ...with the same odd things about it. 

On the first report, I kind of thought it might be some kind of deformed Dogman but after getting this report, I would think it is not a Dogman or a Bigfoot. But whatever it is seems to be fast and strong....and weird.

Here is the report

Colin Haggerty - Bigfoot Or Not

It's always exciting when new paranormal shows and documentaries make their appearance in our TV programming. But there are real problems attached to that. The producers are looking for attracting a larger viewing audience. And that's where the subject is done a disservice.

For example, one of the newer ones is "Paranormal caught on camera" on Travel Channel. There have been some great segments presented on varied topics. But we need to exercise caution. The videos produced are not always real. Some may be real; some are deliberately misinterpreted; some are jokes; some are hoax.

Let's take the Colin Haggerty Oregon bigfoot story shown on May 22, 2019.

Huge Bigfoot Track

I recently went into an area where I have been attempting gifting for several months. This is an area that I know for a fact bigfoot comes to often. I had got a slightly later start than usual but it was still early in the morning. It felt nice and cool but got warm as the day lingered on.

I made my way to the gifting area to see what was missing or if anything was different. My normal routine is to check the gifting spot and leave out new items. While there I always take pictures and videos. Most of these have not been shared (yet) but a couple are available in the Members Only section of our Youtube channel.

Normally after I check the gifting area, I scout around to see if there are any new stick formations or tracks. While I didn't find any stick structures I did find some very large bigfoot tracks.

Here is the short video of the tracks

"Swamp Ape" by James Baack

Sasquatch Sighting- Myakka City, Florida

There is a history of "Skunk Ape" or sasquatch sightings in the Myakka Swamp region of Florida. On June 1, 2018, another sighting was added to the growing list.

Subtropical storm Alberto had passed through the Gulf coast of Florida, leaving the Myakka River at flood stage, overflowing into the wetlands and low-lying areas.

The witness was on 73rd Ave. E., a private dirt road, a passenger in a vehicle being driven by her husband. Due to the recent storms, there had been little traffic down this road, which was also still partly flooded. It was when they reached Long Creek that she noticed something behind the fence. At first, she thought it was a pile of dark soggy grass and moss in an odd shape. Then she suddenly realized that this was some kind of creature, standing still, trying not to be noticed.

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.
