Death of the Sasquatch Researcher?

Where is Sasquatch? Didn't you follow him?

How did you get started?

      (Lines with my craziness included from Death of a Salesman).


Once upon a time. There was a great time to love myths and monsters and thinking that our dream of finding him will live on forever as long as we don't give up looking. And no one conclusively proves they don't exist. 

Sasquatch is lost in the greatest country in the world.

Now there is just no mystery and wonder to the world anymore. Science is slowly crushing that dream. Being a sasquatch seeker (trying to get away from saying, hunter.) is just so hard because all you hear is that hair is a horse hair and that print is a hoax. The disillusionment is taking a toll on us. And what of the toll on our families? What are we possibly giving up on to pursue him? Are we missing out on great memories we should be making with them? If our children are interested in cryptozoology do we want to pass this dream on to them?

 

We are our worst enemy here. How much time we spend foregoing other things is up to us and us alone. Should we have taken the kids fishing or to their grandparents more? When we get older will we have regrets? What will we have accomplished?

We can tell the scientists that we don't care about the horse hair. We know he is out there. But should we be telling our families the same?I'm very lucky my family is part of Bigfoot Mountain. And we don't let it take over other times when we could have been pursuing other things. And when my friends and family want to do something they never hear, "well I have to write this blog today."

This post is not meant to deter anyone from their dreams of finding him. But simply remind us not to lose focus of other more important things such as time with our friends and family.

This week I have suffered another great loss. My best friend's  father. A second father to me. And I'm mourning all the times I should have visited him. Most people are not lucky enough to have one father in life let alone two. Now I have lost them both, and time spent is something you can't ever get back. So try to maintain a good healthy balance and you should have no regrets like poor old Willy.

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
