Who are the People in your Neighborhood..

I have a confession to make. I totally loved Sesame Street, loved The Count and doing The Batty Bat. It’s the first show that teaches you about different communities and people. All while singing great songs.

I, fortunately for all of you., do not have a good Bigfoot song to sing as of yet. But I still want to talk about his community. It’s been a couple months now since I submerged myself in his world. Books, movies, documentaries. But the best part for me has been the social component.
There are many pages, groups, forums, etc. And I joined many. I wanted as much information as I could get. I was finally freeing myself of any care of what people thought of me and I was loving it baby.
Some group pages wanted me to answer questions. And that was great because I took a good look at myself then too. And I answered every question as honestly as I could.
At first, I just read posts and watched videos. I wasn’t sure of my voice in all of this yet. And after all I was the newbie to the sites. They deserved the time It took for me to reflect on my opinions and knowledge of everything.
I read all the pinned posts and learned the rules. They were, for the most part, the same. Respect each other and the site. AND DON’T BLOCK THE ADMIN.😁
How do you block the admin anyway? Do you need super hacking skills? I am the admin on my site. Someone may need to tell me how to protect myself. Anyway, the  pages and or groups all offered something different. Different state researchers, structures, companion pages to youtube sites, etc.
But the one thing they all have in common is a sense of community. It was such a strong sense that I actually mourned all the time I already missed with all these great people.
These communities welcomed me right in, better than the neighbors on my street. They didn’t care that I was new. They allowed me to share this blog that I enjoy writing so much. No judgment. Just warm and welcoming. I can’t say enough how great that is and how thankful I am.
After just losing both my parents I was not In the greatest of places. Watching crazy Bigfoot movies and documentaries to keep my brain busy. My sister said, “I think you should write a blog.” And I think she just wanted to channel my energy at the time. But I don’t think she realized what she really gave me. A different kind of family.
So thank you everyone. For letting me in. Filling my life with something positive. Reading and sharing my blog. Because really, you all have given the greatest gift you can give anyone ..acceptance..

Have a great holiday season from me to you.

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
