Vancouver Bigfoot Tales

John Green made many contacts who shared the stories they heard in their areas with him. Two of them for the Vancouver area were Bruce McKelvie and Charles Cates.

Bruce Mckelvie was a journalist and historian, who spent time listening to the stories told by the people in the area. He was known to keep silent if asked to and never told of the secret encounters. Charles Cates, Mayor of North Vancouver, also collected stories of these creatures. Both of these men recorded these tales long before anyone thought to keep any sort of systematic records. Unfortunately, most of what they knew was lost when they died in the late 1950s.

The disappearance of Joan Gay Croft

Perhaps you've come across some memes on social media about Joan Croft and questioned whether the story is true. It is indeed a real story, and I'd like to share a bit more information about it.

The disappearance of Joan Gay Croft is a haunting mystery that dates back to April 10, 1947. Joan, a four-year-old girl, was last seen in Woodward, Oklahoma, after a devastating F5 tornado struck the town on April 9, 19471. The tornado killed 185 people and injured many others.

Prehistoric Tracks Found on Cumberland Ridge

Our team does a lot of different kinds of research. Everything from Bigfoot research to Paranormal, to missing person cases, to lost history, UFOs, and many other things. There is just no telling what kind of lost information our team might run across or discover. 

This latest relic was dug up by team member Connie Adkins. It is something very interesting and something that has probably been lost over time.

Check it out.

Bigfoot in a Tree?

First, let me say I don't know where this comes from or who filmed it. This is a still frame from a video. A video that supposedly shows a bigfoot sitting in a tree. The video is getting a lot of play on social media but does it really show a Bigfoot sitting in a tree?

The Mothman of Point Pleasant: A Legendary Cryptid

In the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, a mysterious figure known as the Mothman has captured the imagination of locals and cryptid enthusiasts alike. This enigmatic creature, described as a humanoid with massive wings and glowing red eyes, first made headlines in the late 1960s and has since become a staple of American folklore.

British Bigfoot | Wildman | Woodwose

There are so many reasons people will give for Britain not being home to any Bigfoot-type creature.
NO FOSSIL BASED EVIDENCE. NO BONES. NO LIVE OR DEAD SPECIMENS. HABITAT.

Hmmm. Those all sound familiar. Let's see, we (well, most of us) will agree that there appears to be a large, hairy man-beast living in North America  and we can list:

The Famous Nessie Photo

One of the most iconic images associated with the Loch Ness Monster is known as the "Surgeon's Photograph." This black-and-white photo was taken by Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London-based gynecologist, in April 1934. The photograph depicts what appears to be a long neck and head emerging from the waters of Loch Ness in Scotland.

Andrew Genzoli and Betty Allen: Pioneers in the Search for Bigfoot

In the annals of American Cryptids, few creatures have captured the public's imagination quite like Bigfoot, the elusive giant said to roam the remote forests of North America. Two figures stand out in the early days of Bigfoot lore: journalists Andrew Genzoli and Betty Allen of the Humboldt Times.

Bigfoot of Roachdale, Indiana

In August 1972 bigfoot came to the home of Randy and Lou Rogers of Roachdale, Indiana.

They first became aware of something coming around their farmhouse early in the month. Whatever it was made its presence known by banging on the walls and windows of the farmhouse, gradually increasing each night. When Roger would run outside to try to catch who or what it was; he would catch only a glimpse of something heavily built, around 6 ft. tall disappearing through a cornfield. For two to three weeks this creature would arrive between 10 and 11:30 each night, bringing with it an odor like a dead animal or rotting garbage.

The Menehune: Hawaii's Enigmatic Littlefoot

Nestled within the lush, verdant landscapes of Hawaii, legends speak of a mysterious race known as the Menehune. These small, dwarf-like beings, often likened to "Littlefoot," are an integral part of Hawaiian mythology, captivating the imaginations of locals and visitors alike. They are reported to be around three feet tall.

Sightings in Iowa in the 1970s

Iowa has a long history of bigfoot sightings. An old newspaper clipping states: " It' is the mysterious creature folks around here have heard about for 50 years -- a furry, scary thing that stands like a man."

The article continued by telling of a woman who talked of hunters and trappers who would tell tales of animals that walked like men when she first moved to the area as a young girl.

Rant: Why Are There No Clear Videos or Photos of Bigfoot?

RANT the first.

Did a lot of soul-searching before writing this post. It is one of the most difficult I have done. But I can stay silent no longer. So here it is - My Rant.

A common cry: "Why are there no clear videos or photos of bigfoot?"

Yeah, I get that. We are all tired of the Shadowsquatch, the Blobsquatch, the Stumpsquatch, the Brushsquatch, the Groupsquatch. Somedays it can just make us scream with frustration. We enlarge, we enhance, we manipulate and we squint in despair at many of these photos and videos before shaking our heads and moving on.

CrimePrint | The Mysterious Death of Nancy Argentino

It is time for another episode of CrimePrint. In this episode, we look at a case that seems to have a clear answer but also has many questions.

Alien Abduction Case

I had gone to bed rather late; it was about 3:00 a.m., in the morning, and I couldn't sleep. I lay in the darkness, trying to nod off when suddenly I heard this strange sound that reverberated throughout my body.  It sounded like a metallic sound, very deep, and unlike anything I had ever heard before.

Wisconsin Has Sasquatch

Wisconsin is not just pasture land and cows and Milwaukee. There are rivers and lakes and forested land. And there are sasquatch.

In 1964, a man driving down State Highway 89, reported seeing a sasquatch run across the highway in front of him. This happened shortly after midnight and was near the Illinois border. When the sasquatch crossed in front of him, it jumped the fences on either side of the highway.

The Kinderhook Creatures
    
"I heard this ungodly sound coming from the woods". In 1979, a family in Kinderhook, NY, began having strange encounters with unknown creatures. The Hallenbecks stated that over three years, there were several instances where they have been visited, virtually terrorized, by a creature they claim to be Bigfoot. Three generations had terrifying run-ins with a large, hairy beast in the woods around their home. "It just seemed like whatever this was, just kind of showed up here," stated Bruce Hallenbeck. Mysterious occurrences that all point to one outrageous explanation. "I didn't really expect that a Bigfoot-type creature would show up literally in my backyard," said Hallenbeck.

Exploring the Mountains | 6-19-24

The temperatures have been really hot in Kentucky for the last couple of weeks. Even when it is hot outside, I like to get out in the mountains.

On this day we took a short ATV ride and explored an area I rarely visit. It was a fun but kind of short adventure. We found a few interesting things.

Check out the video.

Bigfoot Research Area | 6-11-24

The wife and I finally had a chance to go hiking in one of my Bigfoot research areas. I have only been in this particular area 2 or 3 times this year. One of the times was a very cold winter hike I took back near the end of January. So, I was excited to get back into the area.

We found several interesting things and made a short video of our adventure.
Here is the video.

"Blurry Forest" by Anna Brunk
What Makes a Hoax?

"A hoax is a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as truth." - Wikipedia
"A humorous or malicious deception." - Bing hh

"Something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage; the use of tricks to deceive someone (usually to extract money from them)." - Free Dictionary.

"A label freely thrown around the Bigfoot Community to discredit those who post theories, 'evidence', discoveries, suggestions, etc. that do not correspond with the 'Inner circle' views or that come from any 'Outsider'." - Nancy Marietta

Almas | A Body and Other Evidence | Part 5

In 1980, a Mongolian government employee came across a dead body while working in Bulgan.
At first, he thought it was a human body. But when he got a closer look, he knew differently.

"I approached and saw the hairy corpse of a robust humanlike creature dried and half-buried by sand. I had never seen such a humanlike being before covered by camel-color brownish-yellow short hairs and I recoiled, although, in my native land in Sinkiang, I had seen many dead men killed in battle . . .  The dead thing was not a bear or ape and at the same time, it was not a man like Mongol or Kazakh or Chinese and Russian. The hairs on its head were longer than on its body. The skin was darkened and shriveled like the hide of a dead camel".

Almas | Part 4

There is much interest in the alleged Almas, Almasty, and Almasti on the other side of the world. Let's take a further look at some of what has been found in Mongolia.

In the late 1800s, N. M. Przhevalsky received information on "man-beasts" during his trips to Central Asia. He never investigated any of those reports.

Almas | Part 3

Hans Schiltburger (mentioned briefly in part one) was a Bavarian nobleman who is known for the oldest written reference to Asian wild men (so far). His book was written in the 1430s.

Hans was unfortunate enough to be captured during a battle by Mongols of the Golden Horde. A merchant named Egidi bought him from the soldiers as a slave.  He traveled extensively throughout the conquered lands of the Golden Horde for several years until he eventually returned to Europe. There he was sold to a Christian who then set him free, enabling Hans to return to his home. It was there he wrote his memoirs including his experiences with the 'wild men'.

Almas | Part 2

Sightings of the Almas have remained much the same through the years. Consistent. And much more accepted than the concept of bigfoot in North America.

There is not much said of hearing these creatures speak. They tend to keep to themselves in remote areas, glimpsed as they go about their lives by people while they are moving their cattle from pasture to pasture area. The time of day encountered is generally dawn or dusk. They are said to be similar in height to modern humans. They are considered shy. And are "able to use tools". (1)

Mongolian Wildman - Almas

Another trip outside North America. We venture to Mongolia, the land of the almas, or almasti (Almasty).

Armchair is the best vehicle for our trip as the inaccessibility of a great deal of the country makes it difficult. There are not many roads, locals are suspicious of foreigners, there is mistrust of those searching for the Almas, and although the government likes tourism, they are not necessarily fond of those who want to hunt the 'Wildman'.

Modern Pterodactyl Sightings

In recent years, there have been numerous reports of sightings of creatures that resemble pterodactyls, the prehistoric flying reptiles that are believed to have gone extinct millions of years ago. These sightings span across various locations worldwide, from the tropical islands of Hawaii to the urban landscapes of North Carolina. While these accounts are intriguing, it makes me wonder if these sightings are misidentification of some known animal.

The world of cryptozoology is filled with fascinating and often fearsome creatures, and among them is a cryptid known as the "Devil Monkey". This elusive creature has been reported in various parts of the United States, sparking intrigue and fear among those who claim to have encountered it.

Just what is this mysterious creature and what is it capable of remains unknown, but we do have some information about it.

Werewolves in Ohio?

There are many cryptid creatures reported in the state of Ohio. Best known is sasquatch, called bigfoot more commonly, along with a few local names like Grassman. There is also Bessie the Lake Erie Monster, ABC's ('Alien' Big Cats), Thunderbirds, The Loveland Frog or Lizard, Lizard People, the Melonheads, and Mothman. There are also stories of Werewolves and Dogman.

While there may be a chance that the reports of Dogman may be the same or related to the reports of werewolves or a wolfman, this post concentrates on reports of people claiming to see Werewolves.

Washington State - The Puyallup Screamer

In 1973, there were several sightings of a mysterious creature in a gravel pit near Puyallup, Washington. This elusive being became known as the Puyallup Screamer due to its spine-chilling vocalizations.
 
Marlin Ayers, a witness to these events, recorded the Sasquatch sounds emanating from the woods. Amidst the eerie howls, you can also hear birdsong and a distant train whistle in the background. The Puyallup Screamer's vocalizations left the neighborhood residents both fascinated and terrified.
The recording has been heavily scrutinized over the years.

UFO Footage from Mexico - Update

I took a little time and upscaled the UFO footage in the hope of getting more details. I also do a short zoom-in on the object. 

We can see there are some flashing lights on this object. The object appears to be moving away from the camera.

UFO Footage from Mexico

It is my understanding that this was shot very recently in Mexico. I don't know much about the footage but I found it rather interesting. I just happened to run across the footage on Facebook. 

I have not done any kind of analysis of the video and just wanted to share the footage to get some other people's thoughts about what it might be.

Here is the video.

A New Theory on Clans

Interesting thoughts and theories can be formed when getting together with fellow researchers.

For example, in a recent get-together, someone ventured the comment about seeing a "new" face in their research area. It took a few seconds, then I noticed several others silently nod.

It seems that for some reason there appear to be more sasquatch in the research areas than before. Among the newcomers are females who appear to be pregnant and really young ones, even possibly newborns.

Bighead of Butler Ohio

It was never called 'bigfoot' by any of the witnesses, denied by all but the witnesses, this creature terrorized Butler for one week back in 1978.

The story appears to start on July 8 around 11 pm, when two teens Eugene Kline and Ken O'Neil were walking along the railroad tracks. They heard a strange noise in the brush, an unusual growling sound. They both turned in that direction to see a 7-foot-tall creature with a large head and red eyes the size of golf balls. Ken turned and ran while Eugene stood frozen in place. After what seemed like minutes, he finally turned and ran after Ken. When they spoke to investigators later, neither could recall any details about the face, hair, hands, or feet.

The Dustman - Facts Behind the Mountain Monsters Tale

Whether you like or despise the Mountain Monsters TV show, it is always interesting to look for the facts behind the story told on screen.

In one episode, the AIMS crew set out for Washington County in Pennsylvania. According to the team, this bigfoot was said to possess extreme speed and strength. This Shawnee Indian legend was said to have first come to light in the 1700s.

I'm a Believer

Thinking about how people express themselves concerning Sasquatch got the song "I'm a Believer" running through my mind. Neil Diamond wrote it and the Monkees made it a hit.

Respecting Nature

It's a topic on all the forums and in all the groups; a popular subject for memes. Respect Nature. So let's have a talk about that as the unofficial "Official Research Season" seems to be starting.

First off, it's not a bad thing to have enthusiasm when you go out searching. But along with that eagerness is the accountability you should also take with you. I always liked the advice given in Jurassic Park II on how to be on the island and observe the dinosaurs but leave no trace.

The Value of Silence

In this day and age, everyone is trying to find novel ways of finding bigfoot.

They sing, they dance, they hoot, they howl, they play music, they blast calls, they play musical instruments, they even cook bacon.

They run through the woods and fields on ATVs and dirt bikes, they bang on trees with their special "bigfoot wood knockers", they rove through fields and forests on public and private lands with and without permission, all hoping to get the next "Patty film" or to be the next Matt Moneymaker. (Insert any other name you prefer)

Bigfoot Sightings at Kelly Air Force Base

Kelly Air Force Base, Texas - The summer of 1976 brought fear to the community near the Kelly Air Force Base. A few people were brave enough to report their encounters and even talk to the newspaper.

It seemed to start one morning when Ed Olivarri was getting ready to head to his job around 7 am. Hearing his dog barking, he ventured outside to see what was going on. Ed walked slowly and cautiously through his yard down to the fence, looking out towards the wooded area. A train whistle blew from the nearby tracks and a large animal about 40 yards away rose out of the grass.

Clinton County Missouri Bigfoot Sightings

Missouri has had many bigfoot sightings throughout history, starting with "wildman" stories up through the year 2018. One of the reported sightings comes from Clinton County. And that is what we shall explore today.

On January 29, 2018, a semi-truck driver saw a "tall brown mass" on two legs cross a roadside grassy area in only three giant steps and disappear into the woods. The afternoon sighting lasted only a few seconds. He reported his experience to the state highway patrol.  He described the creature moving with almost a "marching" movement but with a bilateral bend at its knees. The height was estimated at around 10 ft. The witness also reported this to BFRO (report #58980).

Gum Creek Bottom Baboon Beast

Gum Creek Bottom, IL - A preacher was out hunting for squirrels at Gum Creek Bottom near Mt. Vernon, Illinois, back in the summer of 1941.  He became startled when a "baboon-like" creature jumped out of a tree at him.
As the creature walked towards him, it remained on two feet, walking upright. When it came near, he swung his gun at it, smacking it. That did little to stop it from continuing, so the preacher aimed his gun up in the air, firing it a couple of times to scare the creature off. This appeared to work and the man was able to get away.

The Beast of Montana: A Cryptid Tale Unveiled

The "Beast of Montana" refers to a mysterious wolf-like creature that was shot by a rancher in Montana in May 2018. The creature's identity puzzled local experts and social media users around the nation. Its appearance was unusual, with long grayish-brown fur, a large head, and a snout. However, its ears seemed larger than average, and its legs and body were too short for a typical wolf.

South Weber, Utah Bigfoot Sighting

Ronald Smith finished work and drove home like any other work day. He got home at around 12:20 a.m. and as usual, went out to feed his horse. And that's when the "usual" ended.

When he got out to the pasture, the horse wouldn't come to the fence. So he resigned himself to going into the pasture to feed him. That was when he heard something in the dark, walking on two legs through the snow. Knowing that only his horse should be out there, he concluded there were some kids up to mischief.

The Jersey Devil

I don't like to go off bigfoot topics very often on here. But with my recent post on the Pine Barrens and sightings of bigfoot there, some questions and confusion on the Jersey Devil have occurred. So, today we relate some history of the Jersey Devil and stories of encounters with it and other more recent experiences that could be either it or bigfoot-related.

The Adlet

Dogman is a popular discussion point lately, and I have commented several times, that although I remain on the fence on this topic, I am very aware of legends and stories that discuss the existence of "man-wolf" creatures.

And so comes one of those tales. This particular one concerns the story of the Adlet. Or sometimes referred to as Erqiglet. These legends are most often told among the Inuit of Greenland and the Labrador and Hudson Bay coasts.

Police Encounters with the Unexplained: Bigfoot, UFOs, and the Paranormal

Law enforcement officers are trained to deal with a wide range of incidents, from the mundane to the extraordinary. However, there are some cases that defy conventional explanation, plunging officers into the realms of the unexplained and the paranormal. This article explores some of these encounters, focusing on reports involving Bigfoot, Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and other paranormal phenomena. This is in no way an exhaustive post, these types of encounters are numerous.
