The Winsted Wildman

The Winsted Wildman is one name given to the bigfoot population that has been reported in Litchfield County in Northern Connecticut.

A general description given states it has a thin coat of blond or light-brown hair which is unlike the usual reported coats of other bigfoots. He is reported to typically avoid contact with people, staying in wooded areas near water. Cars parked in "lover's lanes" have called in reports of the creature watching them and then fleeing with a series of yelps and whoops.

Bald Peter Butte Bigfoot

I love the old stories. You have to keep in mind that this takes place before the coining of the names sasquatch or Bigfoot. The gorilla had not yet been discovered. There are no natural monkeys or apes in North America. Therefore, when men came across unusual creatures that resembled a man, and walked on two feet like a man, they called them "Wild Men".

5 Photos of Shadow People

Shadow People are dark humanoid figures that most people believe to be paranormal or supernatural in origin. They have been seen and reported for hundreds of years.

Burning sage is commonly called smudging and it can be used for a variety of purposes depending on the type being used. Smudging is generally used as a spiritual cleansing with smoke using special sacred herbs.

You can smudge a person, a place, a building or an object. Smudging is a process that has been practiced for thousands of years in some form or another, by cultures all around the world.

Smudging is normally used to remove a negative energy and bring a feeling of peace and clarity. Have you ever been in a house and something just doesn't feel right? Or something just feels off about a location. Smudging the area will often remedy that "off" feeling. 

There may be some confusion on what type of sage to use, so below is a short guild to help you.

3 Day Expedition in Kentucky

Just a little over two weeks ago, I had a friend come to visit from Pontiac Michigan for some Bigfoot research in the wilds of Kentucky. This is our adventure.

I had met Lewis a little over a year ago, he is friends with some of our family in Michigan and he had come down with them to Kentucky, to visit. Well, as fate would have it, Lewis is also a bigfoot believer. We had some good conversations about bigfoot and other cryptids. It didn't take long for us to hatch a plan for him to come to Kentucky and for me to take him out bigfooting.

What if I told you we are all right....and wrong?

Nancy: Well, that is a provocative statement, Leo. How are we going to explain this to others?

Leo: You have more theories out there than you can count as to what Bigfoot is and everyone is absolutely sure that they're right and everyone else is wrong but if you think about why people are so sure, they may have good reason. This depends on a few things such as, have they had an encounter/ encounters, what kind, positive negative or neither. If they haven't had an encounter but maybe just an interest then whose "Research" do they follow and what does that person believe?. If we take a look at some different types of common theories and also different types of frequently shared encounters it will help to understand what I'm getting at.

Nancy: So what shall we look at first? And how shall we start? Theories? Researchers? Famous encounters?

Leo: I think we should look at some of the more negative encounters since so many like to focus on only those.

Nancy: Many talk of being "chased" or charged at by a bigfoot.

Ginseng Hunters Hear Wood Knocks

On Saturday the 8th of October, my father and I went on a ginseng hunt and experienced some unusual knocking in the forest.

I wanted to share this story as I'm very sure what was making the knocks and I wanted to describe the events and area in greater detail.
