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

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.
