Do Lake Monsters Migrate?

That's the controversial question I ask in a new article at Mysterious Universe . Here's how it begins:

"Just a couple of days ago, while I was being interviewed on the radio on the subject of Cryptozoology, a caller to the show asked an interesting and controversial question: do lake-monsters migrate? Well, I can say for sure I have never been asked that question before! Personally, I have grave doubts that the many and various lake-monsters of our world are flesh-and-blood animals. I am far more inclined to go down a paranormal path. But, to stay on track with the theme of the question, although I certainly do not think that lake-monsters “migrate,” there’s no doubt that there are significant numbers of reports of such creatures seen out of the water and on the land.

"July 22, 1933 was the day that Mr. and Mrs. George Spicer had an encounter with a strange creature at Loch Ness, Scotland. It was close to 4:00 p.m. when the Spicers crossed paths something extremely weird – and, from their perspective, terrifying. As the pair drove along the road that links Foyers and Dores, Mrs. Spicer let out a loud scream. Around 600 feet ahead was a large animal which surfaced out of the bushes that dominated the roadside. At first, all that could be seen was what looked like a large trunk. As they got closer, however, the situation quickly changed. George Spicer described the animal as being hideous, an absolute affront against nature. What particularly struck Spicer – and which provoked his comments – was the way the thing moved. It did not do so like any normal animal. Rather, it lumbered across the road. in a series of odd jerks and coils; something which, for Spicer and his wife, was reminiscent of a massive worm. It was quickly lost to sight."

Roswell & Shapeshifters

Received in the mail today the "Galley" of my next book, Shapeshifters: Morphing Monsters and Changing Cryptids , which will be published by Llewellyn Books in September. The Galley is the last chance I have to check it for any last-minute changes. Looks good!

And after the galley of my Shapehifters book got delivered by UPS, the Post Office just now delivered these: my author-copies of my current book, The Roswell UFO Conspiracy . Not a bad day!

Rich Reynolds reviews "The Roswell UFO Conspiracy"

Over at his UFO Contemplation blog, Rich Reynolds reviews my newly-published T he Roswell UFO Conspiracy . You can find it at the link above, and which includes the following words from Rich;

"His argument in the new book is spread out over 23 Chapters and 260 pages in which the whole of the Roswell saga is presented and, as usual with Nick, much that followers of the Roswell story have never heard, details and intrigues that bolster Nick’s premise."

UFOs: "The Flying Triangle" Issue

Most people who follow the UFO phenomenon will be aware of one particular type of UFO known as the "Flying Triangle." But, what have military agencies of the British and American Governments shared with each other on this particular issue? That's the subject of a new article from me...

The Paranormal: Facts, Evidence & Proof

There's a new article from me at Mysterious Universe that begins as follows:

"On the weekend of April 29-30 I spoke at the annual Kent Paranormal Weekend in Ohio. My subject: the history of the Men in Black. When all the lectures were over, there was a lively question-and-answer session. It was overseen by Jim Harold, of the Paranormal Podcast . During the course of the Q&A, the issues of what amount to facts, evidence and proof in the field of “the unknown” – such as Cryptozoology, Ufology, and ghost-hunting – surfaced. What facts and proof do we have? Is there any real, hard evidence? They were interesting questions which provoked equally interesting answers. I thought I would expand on my own observations (addressed at the gig) on this issue here at Mysterious Universe.

"If there is one thing that can be said with certainty – on matters relative to the paranormal – it’s that definitive facts and undeniable evidence are most assuredly lacking. We’ll start with those aforementioned MIB. Since my first book on the issue ( On the Trail of the Saucer Spies ) was published back in 2006, I have received hundreds of reports of encounters with MIB – mainly spanning the last few decades, but some significantly older. I’m as sure as I can be that the vast majority of those who have contacted me are honest, truthful people who just want to share their stories, or who are hoping to get answers regarding their encounters."
