Hey I’m a believer..

I can hear The Monkees singing now, “Then I saw her face. Now I’m a believer”. I know we are all believers. The only problem I see in this area is - agreeing about what kind of believer you are.

I find that Bigfoot has two types of believers. One, that I tend to agree with, is that he is a yet undiscovered mammal. A possible descendant of Gigantopithecus. Other beliefs are more phenomenal. There is a theory that an immortal Bigfoot uses wormholes to travel from other dimensions.

Let’s break it down a bit together.

The flesh and blood Bigfoot is a elusive King of Hiding - no one argues with that on either side.  Many people have seen him, maybe gotten a quick photo, if their lucky. He is LARGE - anywhere from six to ten feet tall, hairy, and has horrible smell you can’t forget - as if you stepped on a skunk’s tail and faced their wrath.

(I’m personally not looking forward to encountering that smell for myself).

Bigfoot is FAST and disappears fast by blending into his environment. I don't believe that he's likely to be hopping back and fourth through time and space like Doctor Who,(I have yet to hear about a sonic screwdriver anywhere) but because of his quick vanishing skills, it may appear that way. This "inter-dimensional" group of believers is fiercely determined to disassociate from any other Bigfoot hypothesis.  I guess I can understand this. Dogmatic personal philosophies are not really debatable.  As for myself, I can believe in the unbelievable as long as it makes sense in the world we know. I am a woman of science at heart and I know we learn new things everyday that we would never have believed was possible twenty years ago.

But if you truly can’t understand why we have no definitive physical proof yet, then the wormhole approach will definitely help fill in those information gaps for you.

There's so much we still don't know about the world we live in.  Bigfoot isn't the only phenomenon to contend with - what about the Jersey Devil, the Moth Man, "Nessie", etc. You get the picture. Do I believe?  I know I want to believe. Humanity can be pretty...well, boring. I want to believe something truly amazing is out there.

Who knows In the end who is going to be right or wrong. Many people think we are ALL crazy and hoaxers. We have that in common. Most importantly, we all love the Squatch. And all believers need to stick together to protect a rare and precious species and to save the forest primeval that Bigfoot calls home.  Otherwise, he won’t be a legend or a myth anymore, he will be extinct. Then no one wins.

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

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

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
