Ode to Bigfoot...


You stand up to ten feet tall

To you, all of us are small

When we get out to see you, we give you a call

We knock away on the trees

Hoping these familiar sounds will lure you with ease

Do you live alone? Are you lonely out there?

Do you stay away from us from fear?

From my hands, no harm will come to you

But you have no way to know that it’s true 

You are a creature of legend and mystery 

Somehow we must learn all your history 

You are covered head to toe in hair

I always take a breath before going to find you

Then I know I’ll show no fear 

You are always ahead of the game

You don’t deserve to be captured and tamed

To me you are elusive and beautiful 

And you are trapped watching us looking for you, with all our gadgets and tools

Sometimes we think we hear you knocking to us, but we can’t be sure

It could be like a mermaid luring the ships to crash on the shore 

Your prints are all around 

We cast these prints just in case

But other than that, there is no trace

Some see your eyes glowing red in the night 

We wonder if it helps you see, when there is no light 

I know we are dogging your every move

But truly we believe, you have nothing to prove 

I’m glad you have a way to hide from all our madness 

Because with us, we will cause you nothing but heartache and sadness...

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
