Knock Three Times on the Cedar if you Want me...

Twice on the Pine, if you ain't gonna show..

So, though this knocking thing may prove useful for lovers in the same appt building. How effective is it in the wild? 

Cryptozoologists have long thought that this knocking is a form of communication amongst the hominid species. But what in the known world could it be compared too?

Drumming sounds are often used as nonverbal communication by several different species. We humans use it as a signal to communicate its time for something. Dinner bell, time for ritual or ceremony to start, etc. (hopefully not the sacrificial kind people) Knocking on doors to announce our arrival. As a drummer since the age of 8 myself. I used it often to vent my displeasure in certain situations. 


Primates are also known for using it to communicate something to others across longer distances. To show dominance or to defend territory. 


Rats use their feet tapping on the floor to communicate. Birds knock on trees. Etc. If Bigfoot is considered to be a little primate and a little human than it would seem likely they would communicate that way too. It would be very beneficial to us for our own personal safety in the forest if we knew what they were trying to say.

Are there different types of knocking heard? Are they warning us to stay away? Or are they telling others in the area the stupid humans are out here again? We really need to try to record these sounds and see if they coincide with what we may be doing out there at the time. Are we just innocently camping out there? Are we chopping down trees. Are we shouting and knocking at them and filming? We need enough recordings and log entries to see if any patterns emerge. And to be sure different animals are not the ones making them.

Whatever the noises may be. Many of us have heard these sounds. Myself included. So we can't all be caught up in the hysteria of Bigfoot. Many nonbelievers have reported hearing them also.

So, instead of just carrying our cameras. We should make sure we also have the excellent sound equipment we need. If this kind of study is already happening? Or has happened? Great, can't wait to read the results. But if not?Get out there, people. This could potentially be a great piece of proof scientist may accept. And much more humane than dragging in that body.

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
