Bigfoot vs Buffalo (ThinkerThunker)

Someone sent me this link and asked: "What do you think?"   So I watched without sound.  Saw the people in various jackets (grey and black) and watched the Bison.  Then came the object by the bison and I thought "That's faked!" So I turned on the sound. 



Just WHAT the hell is this person talking about??? 



Everything from the "non human length of the arms" (that are quite normal in length) to the massive "speeds" these, uh, 'bigfoot are walking, to the risk of  being charged by the bison....it is fantasy.  



Just LOOK at the people moving in the background -the first with the "bad leg" looks exactly like a man walking in slippery conditions. 



My theory is that these are pigmy bison which are only 3-3.5 feet tall.  So a normal man would look that big (especially if the image was as distorted as that) Believe that? Then you'll believe this is a group of Bigfoot!

The Lettuce Lake Skunk Ape - (with enhancements)

Hmm. Para Breakdown WON'T say it but I will.  For a huge hominid this has a great deal of difficulty moving in the water/swamp.  All reports usually say how easily these creatures move in this environment.  The head and body look far too human and the "swinging arms" are more wet, swinging tassles. 



A hoax or someone doing a spot of poaching in a gillie suit?  I can't see a rifle or hunting bow but maybe traps were being set? 



Whatever this is more "something" footage and WHY move the camera to the left when your focus should be in the object to the right? 



Hoax.

Loch Ness Creature Collided With Boat -So, It Takes Decades To Tell Us This??

Not really sure how seriously to take this...

Best Loch Ness Monster Evidence — Lost? Creature Left Flesh On Boat’s Propeller After Collision

What may have been the best evidence that the Loch Ness Monster is indeed real was inadvertently destroyed almost 40 years ago, after a rented pleasure boat suffered a violent collision with an unknown object in Scotland’s vast and mysterious lake widely believed to house the bizarre sea creature.

One of the passengers on the rented boat, an elderly man, was so frightened by the collision with an unseen object that he suffered a heart attack and died shortly thereafter — making the unfortunate boater perhaps the only human fatality claimed by an encounter with the Loch Ness Monster.

The reported collision in 1978 was not even the first reported on the mist-enshrouded lake in the Scottish Highlands between a boat and the strange occupant of the 22 square-mile lake, which reaches depths of up to 755 feet. In 1943 a Royal Navy boat ran directly into what the boat’s commander described as “a very large animal… a living creature.”

But the 1978 collision could have yielded incontrovertible evidence of that the Loch Ness Monster exists, because the collision is said to have wounded the creature — which left large shards of its flesh on the boat’s propeller shaft.

Stanley Roberts, now 85, who owned the rental boat back in 1978, described the remnants of the monster that were attached to the underside of his boat as “found flesh and black skin an inch thick along the propshaft.”

But before he knew what had happened, workers who were repairing the damaged boat simply tossed the flesh into the water.

“The workers chiseled the flesh away and threw it into the Caledonian Canal,” Roberts recalled, in an interview last week with the Scotland Now news site. “I said you stupid b*******s. It would have proved that Nessie was here.”

Had the organic material been preserved, given DNA-reading techniques available with today’s technology, scientists would likely have been able to determine exactly what hit the boat — and as a result, finally learned what the fabled Loch Ness Monster actually is.

There have been countless sightings of “Nessie” since the 1930s, when the “Monster” first became a worldwide sensation. In 2012, a Loch Ness Monster researcher, George Edwards, took what he believes is the clearest photograph yet of a large, living creature in the lake’s waters.

Then in 2013, another Nessie enthusiast scanned satellite images of Loch Ness using Google Earth, and discovered what appears to be a giant eel-like monster swimming just below the water’s surface.

The photo of the Loch Ness Monster at the top of this page remains the most famous alleged photo of the creature ever taken. Snapped in 1934, in 1993 it was revealed to have been a hoax all along.

No Pun Intended But Ghost Adventures Is Dead.

 Above: The Old Ghost Adventures Team

Well, I've just watched Ghost Adventures Season10 Episode 07: Nopeming Sanatorium.  For me this has to be the end as far as watching this as anything but "background".

 

The intro tells us how the team has worked for years to establish its reputation and gather "solid" evidence.  How true that was. Season 9 was bad enough, but tolerable but season 10 has produced Zak Bagans going more over the top than ever before.  Almost hysterical in his claims at times.  Every slamming door, piece of falling debris from deserted, dilapidated and downright falling apart buildings are signs of ghost actively responding or leading them on.

No "demonic force" on this episode?? Someone slipped.

 

I am getting VERY suspicious of some of their technical gear -I'd love to see a real, accredited professor of electronics or physics test this gear.  And "Hello" that they heard on the EVP recorder (folks, it is JUST a digital recorder) ....I listened... listened... listened... .nope. No "Hello".

 

And we see the team getting unprecedented access to a building and they are told a tunnel is dangerous and sealed off.  We then have smirking Bagans use a previous trespasser to push home the message that you must never ever trespass or break-in to property.  Good.

 

Oh.  Bagans and his team are, obviously, the exception.  They CAN pull all the rubbish used to seal off the entrance to the dangerous tunnel.  Hey, **** the site owners who are doing them a big favour by letting them into the hospital (I wonder what the reaction was when they saw the team break in?).  So what did they find? Seriously dangerous walls, ceiling and floor all on the verge of collapse.  Bagans is not going to risk his neck -he is fare too important after all.  No, their tech Bill goes down the tunnel.  Yay.

 

Have I mentioned I am also getting very suspicious of some of the people they talk to?

 

Season 10 has produced major events -Nick Groff going off to make his own show but his name is never mentioned nor was an explanation given for his absence.  Did he jump or WAS he pushed?  I'm beginning to wonder.

 

The other major events are that (1) there seems to be no real editing of the programme.  Leading on from that you have (2) what at times appears to be very bad acting in scenes that look like they were cut from a very badly financed horror film.  (3) There is a beginning to each programme -usually messy- but the middle and particularly the end leave you asking "What the ***** hell just happened?"

 

Three men, three cameras and three digital recorders were perfect. But watching seasons 9 and 10 I am beginning to wonder whether it is just the narcissistic Bagans with his over acting to be the centre of attention that is ruining things?  Is it his increasing ego -even Arron seems to be pushed more into the shade.

 

From the documentary right through to season 8 I was telling people that this was a series they really SHOULD be watching. 

 

No more.  The Golden Age of Ghost Adventures was Seasons 1-8 but even by 8 Bagans was beginning to be THE centre of attention rather than the actual investigations.

 

Very depressing.

22,000 Views Is Not Bad....That Was THEN -This Is Now!

In October, 2015, I was slightly staggered that this blog had a dizzying 22,000 views since 2011. The total number of views (just registered by blogger to keep things sane since adding views from elsewhere trebles the total!) as of today stands at 345, 168  which is, what, 320,000+ more views in a couple of years?

It makes it even more mysterious as to why no books sell?

With 345, 168 views perhaps the suggestion of a You Tube show dealing with all things AOP would not be a bad idea -but as I do not have a production company it doesn't seem likely.

However, I would like to thank everyone who checks out the blog.

Thank You

__________________________________________________________________________

This blog is now reaching 22,000 views.  Not bad since on average (before I started posting more!) it only used to be 2-4 views a day.

I'm guessing that I must be doing something right, however, I no longer try to find what is attracting people because if you do find out what it is and start posting more of the same views drop off.  I think "pick and mix" is best!

I am sure you all have a reason for viewing this blog.  Interest.  Or (and if it is this one then PLEASE get in touch!) a personal experience. A blog is a little like a book.  You write something.  You know someone is reading it. You just have no idea what they think about what you've written!

So, please let me know what you think and if you have had a personal experience with something anomalous get in touch.

THANKS!

Yet Another TV Series Dumped ...For 'Reality TV'!

Right, my Google+ views have grown by over 10,000 in a week so I posted this item there first.  But everyone might as well know!

I've written three hefty books on strange phenomena covering ghosts, UFOs, unknown sea creatures, Sasquatch and so on.  I had hoped to start 2015 off with good news.

I was approached last October by a film company that wanted to produce a TV series based on material from the books.  I sent everything they needed.  Before Christmas I was told that in January we could get around to discussing money, production and so on.

I heard last Friday that the company owners think "reality TV is where the money is"  so all the work for nothing.  Fourth company to do this since November 2013.

Looks like TV will never see my glamorous face....hang on....I know WHY they are doing this!  I'm too gorgeous for TV!!!!!

Was it really a leopard that was spotted? No. That Was A Puma.

This item appeared in the Inverness Courier http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Opinion/Bill-McAllister/Was-it-really-a-leopard-that-was-spotted-06052011.htm

I was asked by someone if I had ever heard of large cats -leopards- in the area.  No.  Inverness-shire is home to puma (cougar) and their young, like lion cubs, are spotted.  Back in the 1970s, as a naturalist, it was a report -later reports- that drew my attention to large non native cats and I worked as a consultant with the Northern Constabulary because no established naturalists would deal with "silly stories" -though the late Arthur Cadman, a remarkable naturalist not only looked into reports but studied the puma and recorded young.

Loch Ness was a few reports and there were some well known personalities who saw puma in Inverness-Shire (no, I will not name them as Arthur talked to them and I was sworn to confidentiality and cannot break such a promise but it will all be in his records.

Sadly, newspaper reports are always the same these days so fun0-making is par for the course.  Now why do you think witnesses want confidentiality?

Juvenile pumas have been known to retain their spotting for a while and then you have a 'leopard' reported!

So, yes, I do know about them and it's fair to say there were reports in the Highlands going back to the 1950s.

Oh, and having contact with the reputable people involved in the "Felicity" case I can respond by saying  that only an ass of a journalist who was NOT there three decades ago would question the event.

Was it really a leopard that was spotted?

MYSTERIOUS animals strike a chord in our psyche and the Highlands has a rich tradition in such sightings. The newspapers last week featured the ‘beast of Embo’, sighted by sisters after 18 sheep had been killed.

It sent my mind whirring back to 1980 and the celebrated Cannich puma which generated the kind of tabloid frenzy nowadays generated by Jordan’s Hindenburg-like cleavage or Cheryl Cole’s latest lip gloss.

There had been mystery animal sightings in the North a long time previously. The Daily Express reported back in 1927 that in rural Inverness-shire sheep and goats had been attacked by an animal a shepherd described as "like a leopard but without spots". A strange description unless it was the first case of a leopard actually changing his spots. Like the guy telling his mate: "I’ve just spotted a leopard" and his pal replying:"Don’t be daft, they’re born with spots".

Anyway, The Express reported that traps were set and a creature was caught which was sent to London Zoo where it was identified as a lynx. Later it turned out London Zoo had no record of receiving any such animal. It was the biggest animal tall tale since there were three bears and one married a giraffe. The other two put him up to it.

In 1973 there was a "big cat" sighting in Strathnaver, Caithness, by a retired Glasgow police sergeant - and remember, those hardy guys in that era were not prone to dubious eyesight or wild flights of imagination unless giving evidence at a villain’s trial. The sergeant reckoned a puma with a rabbit in its mouth jumped in to the path of his car, almost colliding with it.

It was reported in 1977 that a man and his nephew at Farr, 10 miles from Inverness, "saw a lioness and two cubs" in a field and the next day a similar sighting was recorded at Culduthel. It definitely wasn’t a buffalo, which allows me to ask what did the buffalo say to his son when he was leaving?
"Bison".

In July 1981 a workman coming off shift at the McDermott oil platform construction yard at Ardersier saw an animal "larger than an Alsatian, identical to a puma" come out of undergrowth and cross the road. On Christmas Eve the same year, again at the McDermott yard entrance, someone reported his headlights had caught a tan creature "larger and heavier built than a Labrador dog". Yes, I know, some more sceptical readers might speculate whether these witnesses had, in fact, seen an Alsatian and a Labrador.

Then again, in July 1997 a man from Kirkintilloch who caused a three car pile-up on the A9 near Ralia, just south of Newtonmore, told police that he had seen a black and white creature "about the size of a Great Dane" jump out in front of his car, making him lose control. Some might suspect a shaggy dog story, but at Inverness Sheriff Court, Sheriff James Fraser found the charge of careless driving not proven.

Eleven years ago four golfers playing at Nairn Dunbar contacted police to say they had seen a large male lynx 30 yards from them as they stood on the seventh green. I know about birdies and eagles, but a lynx on the links?

All these pale into insignificance compared to the commotion at Cannich on 29th October, 1980. There had been cases of livestock harmed by a mystery cat in Glen Affric for a couple of years. Farmer Ted Noble, who died eight years later, erected a trap with a sprung door that was connected to a sheep’s head inside the cage and reported catching alive a fully grown female puma.

Cue a stampede up the glen of Her Majesty’s media as the event rapidly became UK-wide and international news. But there were different views. When the photograph of the puma’s face in a cage was published in two competing tabloids, one headline stated:"Grrr!", but the rival headline was "Miaow", claiming the animal was as tame as a tabby cat.

The Puma of the Glen was taken to a new home at Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig where the director Eddie Orbell stated that, in his view, the puma had never spent as long as 30 minutes in the wild. It refused to eat an unskinned rabbit and would only take prepared food. It was reported to be very overweight and tame.

This monstrously savage creature apparently enjoyed having its tummy tickled. And was named Felicity. Like mixing a hyena with gravy, it became a laughing stock.

Amidst widespread suspicion of a hoax, with one particular journalist the centre of suspicion, no proof of this was ever forthcoming. The huge publicity made Felicity a favourite with visitors to the park, where she remained until her death in January, 1985. Her body was stuffed and put on display at Inverness Museum.

What really happened in those eventful days in Cannich 31 years ago? And who do you believe? Some reckon Felicity arrived in the glen via Land Rover, others believe she was one of a family of pumas in the area. Karl Popper, the Austrian philosopher, said: "Ultimate truth is unattainable". And maybe that’s true about how Felicity came to be in that hillside cage.

But the phenomena of mystery big cats continues, as the episode in Embo shows. It is suggested that new laws on the keeping of dangerous wild animals in the 1970s led to some owners turning their beasts out in to the wild. This could conceivably account for some sightings.

In recent years beavers have been reintroduced to Argyll and a Sutherland landowner wants to bring back wolves after a 400-year absence. The argument for wolves is that deer and rabbits cause great damage and nature, red in tooth and claw, taking its course might be beneficial. Those who keep sheep will be less relaxed.

But they say that on a cold night up Cannich way, particularly when strong drink is taken, you can hear on the soft breeze the haunting cry of a puma. Pining after its cousin, who has flitted to Embo.
