There are so many rumors and stories lately of this 'big, bad bigfoot': Cannibal, kidnapper, man-hater. I'd like to share some stories of a different kind of creature. One just a little more believable, in my opinion.
It was summer, 1963. A man went out hunting for deer near Mt. Shasta. He had gone alone and so had no one with him when he fell and badly injured his leg. He finally was able to get to his feet, but could barely hobble. He was worried as he knew how long of a journey he had to get to where he could find some help.
"I don't care if you believe me or not." Witness to the creature called Dogman, or Werewolf. In the autumn of 2013, the witness had not only one encounter but had a second sighting of an unusual, frightening being.
The witness was working night shifts at the time which meant he had to travel the dark roads in the sighting area on a regular basis. One night as he was traveling down Johnson Road, which borders Silver Creek Metro Park, he abruptly stopped his car as two deer raced across the road heading south. What he saw pursuing them was attention-grabbing.
"I would place them somewhere between 6'6" and 7' tall. They chased the two deer (which were both smaller, by the way) out across the street and into the woods. They ran [in formation] . . . one in front, two behind, kind of next to each other. They were roughly 30-40 yards behind the deer. They were bipedal, very muscular, and fast; lightning fast. It all happened in just a few seconds. I couldn't describe any features, unfortunately; I'm assuming it was either a new moon or cloudy because it was very dark, but they were definitely a dark color . . . maybe a chocolate brown or a black color."
He was questioned if perhaps what he saw was a bigfoot. There are many reported sightings of them in Ohio. Said the witness : "They say that bigfoot has long arms that swing when it runs, and it runs like a human. Whatever these were, they weren't bigfoot. I can't describe how they moved, but they didn't move like a person."
It was only a couple of weeks later when the witness was again heading home on Johnson Road. As he was driving past a cornfield, something ran out in front of his car.
"The fields had full-grown cornstalks, but I don't know the exact heights only that the cornstalks were taller than me by a head and I'm 6 feet tall. This time, [my sighting of two creatures] was a quick flash because there was no open land to it. They basically leaped the road as they broke the corn and landed about 10-15 feet into the field on the other side and kept running. This time, the pair that I saw in the moonlight, the first was black and the second was black with white or silver on its chest and back . . . Since the first three I saw were all a solid color, that means there must be at least four different creatures."

"I'll spark the thought; what you do with it is up to you."
"Those that know, need no further proof. Those that don't, should not demand it from others, but seek it for themselves."

very first encounter with Bigfoot.
In August of this year (2018) a post was shared by Kimberly Mills Parker called : The Elliot Lake Ape-Men. In the article the author relates stories from her grandpa.
The story can get confusing, so will list the "cast" and identification here.
The "he" in the story is her grandpa. He is one of the sons in the story. The father is the author's Great grandfather and the father of her "grandpa". Two brothers in the encounter are her great uncles [perhaps the George and Gord mentioned later by the author.] Sister listed would be the author's great aunt and her grandpa's sister.
A few days ago a friend contacted me via Facebook and wanted to report what he and his wife saw in the sky over Harlan County. Over the years there has been numerous reports of unknown objects in this general area.
What follows is this detailed description, along with a follow up question.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident: Even More Theories and Conjecture - Part 6
And now the rest of the "best" of the theories and conjectures. Some of the previous ones discussed and some of these may have overlapping interpretations of the facts. Keeping all that in mind, let's finish.
9 ) The Infrasound Theory
First off, to understand how this theory works we should first define it. Infrasound, or low-frequency sound, is sound with frequencies below the lower limit of human audibility. [below "normal" human hearing]. The ear is the primary organ for sensing infrasound but at higher intensities, it is possible to feel infrasound vibrations in various parts of the body.
99% of the time there is no effect on humans when we encounter infrasound. If one is subjected to intensive prolonged episodes, we begin to feel it more physically. Feelings of unease, nervousness, fatigue; hallucinating; being sick to the stomach; digestive problems; vertigo and imbalance. Longer term encounters can result in loss of sleep, shortness of breath, and feelings of extreme dread.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident: More Theories and Conjecture - Part 5
And theories multiply as to what happened to the 9 hikers on that day in 1959.
6 ) Avalanche
The avalanche theory is one of the more popular ones. It is less conspiracy induced and allows Mother Nature to play a key role. But, in fact, Kholat Syakhl is not a very tall mountain and is not very steep. And the diaries of the hikers talk of a fairly thin snow cover.
Those facts cannot dismiss all of the danger that could occur, of course. It is possible for a part of the upper layer of snow to shift, rolling over the landscape. Such an event could have happened and the snow could have rolled over the campsite in the form of a huge slab of snow. This would have damaged the tent and could cause panic among people trapped under several feet of snow. This type of event would explain why the tent was cut from the inside. And it would explain a retreat down the hill without stopping to gather everything up.
A couple of day ago I made a post about a cougar report that included another brief reference to hairless big cat sightings, well today I can bring you some more information about the sightings. If you missed the original post you can find it by clicking here.
This update was sent to us from the person, Jo, who submitted the cougar sighting to us. So a big thanks to Jo for doing a follow up on this possible new cryptid.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident: Theories and Conjecture - Part 4
So, just what happened to the 9 hikers on that
mountain? There are many theories out there. Some based on facts, others
that take one statement and run with it. Let's take a closer look at
some of them.
Cougar Sighting From Kentucky and A New Cryptid Cat?
A few days ago I posted a report entitled "Witness describes seeing black panther" and ask for other reports. Well, I recently got and email about a cougar sighting in an unlikely place but that is not all.
Included in the email is a description of a possible new cryptid large cat. What follows is the email of the report about the cougar, along with some questions, and information about the new possible cryptid.
It was not until March 5th, that more of the hikers were discovered.
Rustem Slobodin's body was found 525 yards from the cedar tree. The body was lying face down, head towards the tent, and was covered with about 20 inches of snow. Slobodin was dressed in a long sleeved undershirt, a sweater, a shirt, two pairs of pants, four pairs of socks, and a felt boot on his right foot. In the chest area, under the sweater were two shoe insoles and he had 310 rubles and his passport in the shirt pocket. His watch had stopped at 8:45 am. In other clothing pockets were found a small penknife, a pencil, a pen, a comb in a plastic sleeve, a box of matches still containing 48 matches, and one cotton sock.
Officials were reluctant to sound an alarm when Dyatlov's group was overdue. They had received information that there had been a heavy snowstorm in the area in which the party was headed and assumed that the hikers had made a camp in a safe area to ride out the storm. The parents of Dubinina and Kolevatov were told by the head of the UPI sport club [Lev Semyonovich Gordo] that Dyatlov had sent a telegram explaining the delay as they felt the group was probably already on their way back. Due to these delays, the relatives of the hikers eventually organized their own search party. The head of the military department of the University [UPI] took charge of the rescue party. Many students volunteered to go with Colonel Georgiy Semyonovich Ortyukov. Several parties entered the region on February 21st. Two of the groups were headed by Vizhay Blinov and Sogrin as their hiking groups had just returned from the region and knew the conditions. Another group of hikers led by Vladislav Karelin was nearby and joined the search effort. Planes from Ivdel Airport searched from the air.
The next day even more joined the search, including prison guards [Captain A.A. Chernyshov] and policemen [Lieutenant Potapov]. Another 3 groups of students formed under the leadership of Oleg Grebennik, Moises Akselrod and Boris Slobtsov. Local Mansi hunters volunteered to help and search for the students. Moscow sent people including E.P. Maslenikov, Baskin, Bardin and Shuleshko.
