It’s a Bird, it’s a Plane it’s a.. Did They Just Say Bear?

I have always considered myself more of an agnostic when it comes to believing the unbelievable. Show me the proof! Of course, in all things except where Yeti, Sasquatch and Bigfoot are concerned.
Sometimes its really nice to have belief in something that may not have that undeniable evidence to support it. It’s that hopeful feeling at the back of your brain that gives you that "Christmas morning" buzz. Waiting to hear the test results of a woodsy hair sample, or footprint DNA residue.  And I hope in light of all these unsupportive test results coming in, that  science really doesn’t dampen that excitement.
Do I really want the evidence that may prove that he doesn’t exist? It will be the same horrible feeling like it was with the "Santa talk".
Science and faith. An age old battle going on as long as good and evil. When it comes to other areas of science, I can’t wait to see what they will discover next. But in this I have my worries.
And I admit, I enjoy the anticipation of waking up to the breaking news that conclusive evidence has been found and he is added to species list. But for all these recent sightings, DNA test results show the evidence pointing to bears. Polar Bears, Himalayan Bears, Brown Bears. Bears, Bears, Bears!
Could this be right? Could the conditions be such that at the time of all these encounters they had mistaken Bears for large hominids?
Is he really going to stay a myth and legend instead of flesh and blood? Will it be that the Shroud of Turin is really another Davinci masterpiece after all?  All of the Bigfoot photos, footprint molds, structures, etc. - could they really all be mirages of our minds when were in those deep woods at night?
We may never have that answer in our lifetime.  When you die. Supposedly, you get all the answers to your questions right? The answer to Life, the Universe and Eveything. Here’s to hoping that will include him too.

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

Booger Funnels...

Image
This post is from a guest blogger, Sunday Monroe from Team Cryptid Mississippi. I have not changed any text from the piece beyond basic editing, which you all know I’m terrible at...Thank you to Sunday for sharing and emailing me this... Boogers are always in transition. They move about from place to place as needs dictate. They must, no moss grows on them for sure. It is what they have to do, it’s how they survive. This practice probably has more than a little to do with why they remain generally undocumented. You cannot define what you can’t pin down and examine. This is a trait that you can take advantage of if you want to go and see one for yourself, by thinking like a Booger thinks. If I was a Booger, why would I leave the relative comfort of my den? Because I’m hungry, of course. It takes a lot of food to support a single, large primate much less an entire family of them.  Few places offer food in sufficient amounts year round to support a family of Boogers. In most location

A Moment with a Monster 

Image
An MC Monster,  that is. On this monster of a Monday  I had a chance to ask the artist himself a few questions about his amazing characters, how he creates them and how you all can get an original from him. And I’m sure after you see them, you will be a follower of his art. And spoiler alert, he may, may,  be coming to a city near you soon.. An interview with an artist: Q: Can you tell me a little bit about the characters you create? “The monsters I create aren’t evil entities, but more of like watchful protectors, leaders or guides through the spiritual realm.”  My favorite piece, I picture it as a moment between the big guy and myself.. Q: When did you begin creating them? “I started playing around with this style in June 2017, after my little sister passed away.” Q: What process do you use to create these wonderful characters? “The process is more often then not just winging it. I lay down a background, and then sort of just go for it. When I’m doing commission pieces I fo
