Yep, here we go. Another ranch that is not just haunted by ghosts but Native American ghosts. Oh, did I mention...aliens? Oh, yeah, this place has lots of alien activity going on.
Guess who bought the ranch and "did experiments" there in absolute top secret? RB a clue enough for you? No? Oh come on!
Robert Bigelow. You got it -the fella behind such over-hyped and fake claims as Skin walker Ranch.
Let me make it clear that I have nothing against Bigelow. It is good that someone with money and a keen interest in all things paranormal puts that money into research. That is where we hit the big obstacle and, for me personally, where this all falls to pieces.
Every Bigelow project has more non-disclosure agreements than actual documented facts. In the latest episode of Ghost Adventures, Zack Bagans tells us how Bigelow is not afraid to speak out on "these matters". My response was: "Where? When?" And, honestly, if you have a link (to a genuine site not some "Bigfoot communicated this to me" one) to where Bigelow has been speaking out about his team and its work please send it!
You see, we had Ted Phillips tell us how Bigelow wanted to finance the Marley Woods investigation but Phillips was having none of it because he believed WE had to be told what was going on and Bigelow waved the money and non-disclosure agreement. I know, after more than a decade all we have had from the uncontactable Phillips is the same old, same old and no facts or results.
Some even claim that Phillips took Bigelow's money and non-disclosure deal or simply took them and moved on leaving everything to Bigelow's team (rather like MUFON did).
Bigelow, in my opinion, is far from interested in finding ghosts and other Intangibles. He owns an aerospace company and I believe he has some theories that lead him to believe that if he got lucky he could make his millions back and have a new propulsion system or something else (shhh!). That is why there are all the non-disclosures -it's about not having someone else step in, have it all click into place and....earn the cash.
The statement made by one of Bagans sources that Bigelow told him the mountain was an "alien portal" -I call complete and utter bull-shit on.
Ghost Adventures is entertainment and not scientific investigation. It is interspersed with humour and all sorts of "fluff" to keep its running time up to that 40 minute mark (for advertising revenue). Also, Bagans now reveals he has been to a lot of places looking into "extra terrestrial" things. Really? I am not going to say that this sudden interest (yet vast experience apparently) has anything to do with wanting to draw the viewers who watch trash UFO TV programmes to boost ratings. Nor would I say it has anything to do with Bagans recent 'alien' exhibit at his museum. That would be churlish.
Desperation is a very sad thing to watch but...that's entertainment!
Skin-Walker Ranch, Star Dust Ranch (completely debunked now) and the Mount Wilson Ranch are all of the same ilk. Stories but no solid evidence.. Not even a hint at there being any evidence. Bigelow will be making money from all of this or at the least declaring a tax loss.
But there is another ranch where these claims were made. A ranch investigated by ufologists -ones with fairly solid (for ufologists) reputations. I am currently trying to add more detail to the report from the time and once I do I'll mention more.
Oh, the incidents at this ranch took place in the 1970s.
