Still frame from the video.
What is this very odd looking creature? Now that is a good question. I stumbled across this short video and thought I would share it with everyone. The video is of a man, apparently, trying to film this odd creature, it seems to be refereed to as an Alien being. Now, I was skeptical about if the video is authentic or not but the humanoid looking creature is caught on film by the man.

According to the description this was filmed in Mexico in 2016. It is suppose to be of an alien being.
Before I get into some of the things I found out about this video, it would be good for you to watch the clip.

Here it is.

The Crypto Files - Beast of Gevaudan (Ep32)

Well, here we are... made it up to episode 32 of the Crypto Files. In this episode, you will hear about a terrifying beast that brought death and injury to a lot of people. The beast attacked both young and old and left a trail of terror.

The history of the Beast of Gevaudan has been very well documented. There was without a doubt something attacking these people. What it was exactly, is somewhat of a mystery.

To learn more about this interesting cryptid, check out the episode below.

There is no doubt that the bigfoot community has a very wide range of personalities. Everything from the serious researcher to the armchair researcher. From the over zealous to the delusional. The bigfoot community can bring out the best and the worst in people. It can provide a much needed laugh or make you so mad that you want to scream. It can make you want to quit following the phenomenon of bigfoot and at other times gives you a drive to press on.

With all that in mind, today I want to gloss over some of the more popular report and stories that have been making the rounds on social media and other outlets. I will offer a short narrative for each and share my general thoughts.

Here we go.

What is this strange, almost human shaped, object in the sky? That is what many people are asking after seeing the video below.

Before we get to the actual video, let me tell you what is known about the clip. Reportedly this was filmed in Indonesia during what appears to be some type of riot, protest or a demonstration. The local people called it a Kuntilanak. A Kuntilanak in Indonesian mythology is a female vampiric spirit of a woman who died while pregnant. Another word used to describe this is Pontianak. Pontianaks are usually depicted as pale-skinned women with long black hair, red eyes, and white dress.

According to what I read about this folklore a Kuntilanak is a woman who died during childbirth. That the woman would come back to terrorize and take revenge on the towns people. The creature would or might look like a pretty woman and have a floral aroma. Then she would attack with claws and rip open peoples stomach.

Now, I'm not sure what this entity is, or even if it is an spirit of some sort. But it does appear to be odd and out of place with the events going on. Lets watch the video and then I will close with a few more thoughts.

Here is the video.

Ninja of the Woods - Bigfoot on Film

It's time for episode 2 of Ninja of the Woods with your host Big Jim!
In this episode, Big Jim talks about 2 very popular videos and gives his thoughts and impressions about them.

The two videos are "Fisherman Films Bigfoot" and "Grizzle Gulch Bigfoot".


There is still some audio drops in the presentation but I have tried to correct some of it during editing. The show is still very watchable and I think it is an improvement over episode 1. That is our goal to make the show better and more interesting with each episode.

Here is episode 2 - Enjoy!

Whoa, this massive alligator was filmed by Kim Joiner at the Polk Nature Discovery Center in Lakeland Florida. The video has gone viral and has been shared thousands of times. I for one share it on my facebook page and got a lot of reactions.  The alligator is estimated to be between 12 and 15 foot long.

It is so large many draw a comparison to dinosaurs. Joiner took the video Sunday afternoon at the Circle B Bar Reserve. The large gator slowly strolls across the path as a few people look on.

This local monster gator actually has been given a nickname by some of the local residents.

Is this a spirit haunting a cemetery?
The above photo and the other ones in the post were reportedly taken in a cemetery in Ohio. The photographs were supposedly taken by a funeral home employee. The images, to my understanding, were first posted on social media. Many seem to think this a ghost of some sort haunting the cemetery. You can see what looks like fog or smoke as it appears to arise up out of a grave.

Regardless of what it is, either paranormal or natural, it is still pretty creepy.

Ninja Of The Woods - Bigfoot Shot - Episode 1

One of our newest team members, Jimmy Blanton, has started a new podcast entitled "Ninja of the Woods". This is the first episode of the show. There are some audio hiccups but it's not too bad. This is more of a pilot or test run for the show, but we wanted to put it out and hopefully get people more interested.

This episode features a very popular story/report but it is only talked about briefly. There is much more to the story. Big Jim also talks about a video reportedly from Massachusetts.

Here is the episode.

Still frame from video
Recently a video was posted on youtube of what appears to be poltergeist activity. The video presents two video sequences, both of which was apparently captured in the same home. In the first sequence the activity is rather subtle but in the second clip the activity appears to be much more aggressive.

Before I give my overall opinion of the video let me fill you in on the back story.

Apparently the little girl in the video had been complaining to her father about something scaring her. So the father sets up several security cameras throughout the house. The video presented below is reportedly what was captured.

Bigfoot Tracks Found In Oregon

2016 was a rather quiet year for our Oregon Crypto Crew team, Bobby and Corinna Long. Maybe it was just an off-year, that happens sometimes with bigfoot research. If the team's recent track finding is any indication, 2017 may provide a good upswing.

Three large human-looking tracks were found by the team on private property. The area is almost nothing but forest land with creeks and wildlife. In other words a perfect spot for our old buddy, bigfoot.

The tracks did have some snow melt to them but as you can see in the above picture and the video below, they are still very large. The chances of them being made by someone walking around barefooted in the snow are rather slim.

Check out the video of the other tracks and areas.

The Crypto Files - Beast of Busco (Ep30)

During our research and production of The Crypto Files series, we have discovered many details about lesser know cryptids. There seem to be a lot of cryptids that will never reach the mega status of say Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. But each one is special and important in its own right. Local legends and sightings serve as great talking points for many towns across America. In some cases, these local cryptids have become tourist attractions and bring in revenue to small towns.

In Episode 30 we explore one such cryptid. We hope you enjoy this episode and learn something new.

Here is episode 30 - Beast of Busco

The above picture was posted on Reddit. It shows an odd looking figure in the frame. I do not know who to credit for the photograph or actually where this was taken. What I do know about it is that it was taken in a park during a full moon. Reportedly the person who took this picture was snapping off several pictures, and this figure showed up in one of them.

The figure appears to be rather small but with nothing for scale it is really hard to determine the overall height. The figure does appear to be bipedal and humanoid in appearance.

I will attempt to enhance the image to gather more details.

Thursday, January 5, 2017


My previous post featured a viral image of a Mystery figure from Arizona which caught fire and sparked debate. There is another image, actually a game camera picture, that is also getting a lot of attention. The above picture was taken by a game cam in Pennsylvania. The picture was posted to facebook by James Bobo Fay of the hit TV show Finding Bigfoot. He stated the picture came from Clara County, but I don't think there is a Clara County. What I think he was referring to was Clara Township which is in Potter county,PA. 

If it was indeed Clara Township, then this is a very small place with a small population of around 200 people. Clara Township is only about 20 square miles in size.

Now, lets get back to the picture, is there evidence of a bear or a bigfoot?

Whoa, this picture posted on facebook by Richard Christianson has gone viral. It has been shared over 80 thousands times and been featured in numerous videos, forums and blogs. Many people say it is a demon or an angel. One person even said it was an elephant, huh?

The eerie standing figure is a rather frightful image. There has been much debate about the figure. What is it? Is it a hoax? and on and on.

While others find the picture fascinating and think the image could be supernatural, I think there is a more earthly explanation to the figure.

Lets explore to find out more about it.

The Crypto Files - Beast Of Bray Road (Ep29)

Welcome to episode 29 of The Crypto Files. In this episode, we take a look at the Beast of Bray Road.
The Beast of Bray Road is also sometimes called the Wisconsin Werewolf. It has been described in various ways from bigfoot to a surviving prehistoric wolf of some sort.

Similar sightings were also reported in other states. Many claim it is a known animal that is just being misidentified. But the description from eyewitnesses seems to be of something very uncommon.

Check out this short video to learn more about The Beast Of Bray Road.

Archaeologists Find Mermaid Skeletons? Well, not exactly. This story is a little bit old but I must have missed it, so I guess others did as well. But it appears it was a pretty hot item for a while.

First lets start with the story that circulates with the photographs. It go something like this:
 "Ancient skeleton of a mermaid before the Flood 8 millenniums ago was found near Sozopol Beach by Professor Dimitrov."

The story caught fire after it was shared on facebook by journalist Petar Genchev. Some reports say the journalist's name was Peter Dale. The photographs and story instantly caught fire and spread quickly. It also caused a debate about mermaids being real and the new findings seemed to confirm it for many people. But were the story and the findings actually real? The short answer is no but there is more to the story. It appears this was not really an attempt to hoax, originally.

A still frame from the original video

Another Look At Beast of Gum Hill

First let me say, I know this is a very old video but I thought it was worth a revisit. I know many are probably not that interested in this old video but maybe I can give some new or updated information about it.  I do know that at one time this video was pretty popular and was even featured on the Finding Bigfoot TV show. Not only that but the video was featured on many top Bigfoot video lists. I can remember the Facebook/FindBigfoot page having it rank and down as a real bigfoot.

Let's take a look at the background story, here it is from the description used on the video.

Still Frame from video
Looks like there is a new video coming out of Florida that some think could be a bigfoot. Not much is known about the video but you see a dark figure walking left to right. The figure is moving rather slowly and appears to be in no hurry. The head of the figure is tilted forward and downward. The quality of the video is not great but it is not terrible either.

I will post the video and then offer my opinion and some enhanced still frames of the figure.
Here is the video.

We have all seen the video of what appears to be someone getting rescued a split second before being hit by a truck. Many have said this video is actually real and that the hero is really an angel.That it is proof of teleportation.  According to them the angel used super powers to save the person's life and teleported them out of harms way.

The video was supposedly captured in CCTV in China and many speculated it was everything from an alien to an angel to a time traveler. But there is something much more earthly to the mysterious video. But before we get into that lets watch the video again and then tell you more about it.

Krampus: "Just give me the names, fat man"

For as long as I can remember we've all heard about Santa and his list of naughty and nice little boys and girls. We were told that naughty little boys and girls get a lump of coal for Christmas, or nothing at all. But over the years the legend of Krampus has grown here in the United States and North America in general. While some may have already been aware of Krampus, the tale has grown over the years thanks to movies and social media.

I had never heard of Krampus while growing up. But now the pairing of Santa Clause and Krampus seems to be a common occurrence. I guess it might add an extra incentive for children to be good and well behaved. After all one would want to avoid the dreaded naughty list.

For those who may not know, or those who would like more details, the rest of the post will deal with the legend and history of Krampus.

The Crypto Files - Beast of Bladenboro (Ep28)

Bladenboro is a town in Bladen County, North Carolina. Its citizens were in a state of fear after a series of gruesome attacks on dogs and other animals. Reports of a blood-sucking cat-like predator roaming the area had the towns folks on edge. Many reported attacks strangely had little or no blood indicating the beast employed a blood-sucking trait.

Learn more about the Beast of Bladenboro in episode 28 of The Crypto Files.

Did a real Mermaid wash up on the beach?
In case you missed it or did not get more of the report about the possible mermaid that washed up on a beach, here it is.
First the story, back in October of  this year there was a pretty good buzz about a possible real mermaid washing up on a beach. That beach was, reportedly, Great Yarmouth in Norfolk England.

The witness described a strange decaying corpse that looked very much like a mermaid. The witness, Paul Jones, posted the video on youtube. It showed a human looking figure with a large human looking skull and arms but with a fish tail.

General area of the sightings.

Over the last few days I received two separate reports of a possible thunderbird sighting in Oakland county Michigan. The two people submitting the reports could be connected or know one another, but at this time I do not know. The two sightings describe a very similar creature. I'm fairly familiar with the area as this is where my wife grew up. I have been in this area many times over the years.

Before I get to the actual reports, I want to offer some general information about Thunderbirds and Oakland county.

Thunderbirds are described as large, bird-like creatures. Sighting of Thunderbirds go back for centuries and there are some fossil records that show a bird with a 12 to 18 foot wingspan did exist. But sadly Thunderbirds are mostly thought of as myths nowadays even though there are a growing number of sightings.

Oakland county is a rather large area with lots of water. In fact, there are 387 lakes in Oakland county. Cass lake, which I have been to several times, is the largest and deepest lake in Oakland county. Oakland county is located in the northwest of the Detroit metropolitan area. Even thought the area is flat and heavily populated, there are still areas with good sized forests. West Bloomfield Woods Nature Preserve is a 162 acre preserve that is frequented by over 100 bird species as well as white-tail deer, ref fox, coyote, weasel, mink and salamanders.So, this area is a viable habitat for possible Thunderbirds.


Now that we got some general information about the area, lets look at the report.

General area of reported sighting.
I got the following reported bigfoot sighting submitted to me several days ago. I have attempted contact with the person and was awaiting a reply, that is why there was a delay in me posting this up.
The reported sighting is fairly recent, taking place on the sixth of December. The sighting location is Humboldt county, California. Humboldt county is home to numerous bigfoot sightings.

Before I get into the actual report, I'd like to share a little information about Humboldt county.

Humboldt county has more coastline than an other county in the state of California. But don't let that throw you off, it is also densely forested and mountainous. The county contains over forty percent of all remaining old growth Coast Redwood forests, the vast majority of which is protected or strictly conserved within dozens of national, state, and local forests and parks.

One of Humboldt's major rivers is the Klamath River. And as you probably know Klamath River is home to many reports of bigfoot or bigfoot activity. Klamth River flows over 250 miles through Oregon and northern California.

Still frame from video.
A few days ago I received a report about a bigfoot filmed in a lake. The report was pretty vague but linked to a video of the reported sighting. The above still frame is from that video. I want to not only share the report and video, I want to offer some opinions and information about the area and also a few enhanced still pictures.

First lets start with the report that was filed a few days ago.

This use to be a page on our site and I removed it. But I thought it would be a good idea to preserve the actual content, and add some, from the page. I know some of this information, especially the tools, is probably out dated but there is still some good information. It is important for ghost hunters to be prepare when going out to investigate and this post will provide some useful information. There may even be some seasoned investigators who will find some of these tips useful. There are two lists, one for ghost hunting tools and one is ghost hunting tips.

 Lets get to the list.

The above picture and reports come from Katrineholm, Sweden. It could possibly be of an actual bigfoot or as many call them Trolls. I had to do some digging to find information about this report but I managed to find it.

The story goes like this: The witness was out taking a walk, and he eventually saw two deer and started to take a picture when this possible bigfoot ran out.

The reason this was a difficult report to find a lot of information on is the fact it is from 2011 and the witness wanted to remain anonymous. I did find an excellent write-up of it, along with a witness interview. I want to share it here and give full credit to Crypto Sweden for this information. I will also add additional information after, along with some photo enhancements.

In the forest near Hull, England there are numerous reports of people seeing what some are calling a werewolf. It is said to stand a towering eight foot tall, covered in hair and has red glowing eyes. The term werewolf may be very off putting to some people. It may make them think of movies and fantasy tales. I think the more modern term, that a majority of people are using to describe these creatures, is Dogman.

Dogman is normally associated with bigfoot by many cryptid researchers. This may be a good assessment. But if you compare the two, Dogman and Bigfoot, Dogman seems to be the more aggressive and fits in with witness accounts from the Hull area.

Witnesses describe the beast as being fast, jumping tall fences, attacking and eating dogs, sometimes even running on all fours. The main sightings seem to be around the area known as Barmston Drain.
