Mountain Monsters - Part 2
In season two, episode six, the Mountain Monsters crew went hunting for the legendary Sheepsquatch of Boone County, West Virginia.
Sheepsquatch is traditionally described as a quadrapedal, bear-sized, white, wooly creature with horns, with a long and pointed head somewhat resembling a dog's. In addition to the horns, it is also said to have long, saber-like teeth; the horns similar to those on a young goat. It's front legs end in paw-like hands and it has a long and hairless tail. It is said to smell like sulfur.

Mountain Monsters - Bigfoot Editions - Pt 1
Love 'em or hate 'em, we have all probably heard of the TV show and have probably watched more than a few episodes. Among the creatures they have tried to trap with Willie's fantastic creations are varieties of bigfoot. Legend and some reality meets TV in their shows, and that is sometimes worth further investigation. So let's look for the kernels of truth among the chaff of TV.
The first bigfoot that the boys decided to tackle was the Ohio Grassman.
He is said to be a 7ft tall, 300 lb. bigfoot-type creature, bipedal, allegedly eating wheat and other planted grasses to supplement his diet. He is found throughout the state, not just in the southern portion, although there are many "hotspots" in that part of the state, including Salt Fork State Park. Not everyone refer to our bigfoot as "Grassman". We do say bigfoot, or sasquatch, or use our favorite nicknames like "The Big Man" or "The Big Guy".
The Many Faces Of The Yeti
Part of the confusion that is generated by the Western world in trying to understand the Yeti is the fact that "Yeti" is a catch-all phrase we have been left with to refer to some of the creatures that inhabit the Himalayas.
Let's take a look at some of the other names used to describe the creatures.
Kukeri Dancers From Bulgaria
Making the rounds of several bigfoot groups is a video from Bulgaria featuring Kukeri dancers. This troupe of performers are dressed in fur costumes with hair covered, and head-covering masks. And the question being asked is: Are these meant to depict a bigfoot-type creature?
Well, according to my research, in one word: Nope. Not if these dancers have designed their costumes based on traditional themes.
Ryan Upchurch Shares Kentucky UFO Sighting
Ryan Upchurch made another video detailing a UFO sighting he and a friend had while traveling through Kentucky. The sighting took place in the early morning hours and caused some malfunction to his car.
I find it refreshing that someone of his popularity and stardom is willing to talk about these subjects.
Here is his video about the UFO sighting.
Monster of Sister Lakes Michigan
In June 1964, reports of a 9-foot-tall monster made the news. The creature made several appearances in the area, resulting in a "carnival atmosphere".
At the center of this circus was the farm of John and Evelyn Ultrup. Although the media only started to cover the monster in 1964, reports had been made off and on for two years previous. Witnesses included John and Evelyn, Gordon Brown, Joyce Smith, Patsy, and Gail Clayton along with others.
Gordon Brown and his brother tracked this creature over the Ultrup farm and bordering properties and experienced several encounters with the creature. John Ultrup reported seeing the monster standing in his yard with its "big, bright shining eyes" reflected in his headlights.

Why History Is Important
My heart always sinks when people in the 'community' have no idea of what's gone before concerning Sasquatch. They don't know the names of those who blazed the trails for fieldwork, how to catalog the information, or broke down some of the barriers with mainstream America. They don't know things to look for, things to be wary of, or even when or where to ask questions.
I feel the pain of those researchers who have been here for a while and I feel the pain of those who are new to this strange phenomenon. That's why I agreed to do a blog. To try to reach out to those who feel a need to find answers, to learn things. To bridge that gap between guessing and knowing.
And that's why today I'm going to talk about why it's important to know your history and why it's important.

Dietrologia.
While reading a book the other day, I ran across this term that caught my attention. Actually it is an Italian word. A term used to cover a great multitude of meaning.
Dietro meaning "behind". Logia meaning "the study of".
In Italy, this means that the idea that is the obvious thing cannot be the truth. There has to be, there always is, something hidden behind that truth.
