Black Eyed Kids: 'Can I go home with you?'

A strange teen seems to be following you through the subway, and then behind you on the city streets. He asks to go home with you. You then notice that his eyes are solid black! What happens next?
The following account were recently received:

"I was walking around Toronto by a subway station (not saying which one for privacy reasons), and I saw a boy (looked about 14-15) wearing a navy blue hoodie and some bleached jeans. He seems like a typical kid, but it is winter right now, and it was a very windy and cool day. So a hoodie and jeans don’t really cut it.

I walked into the subway station and he was going the same way I was (not suspicious because many people ride TTC). It only started getting suspicious when he seemed to keep burying his face in a book. It was a green-covered book that had no title on it, almost like a school book. He got on the same subway car that I did and the entire time kept his head in his book. The subway car was relatively empty, maybe 4-5 people. When I got off of the subway he did too, still, not really suspicious. The only strange thing is that he never let his head up from that book. Until finally, we got out of the station, he closed his book and held it in his left arm. I walked to the store that I was going to which was semi-close but still about 7 minutes of walking. For about 3 more minutes he followed me. Eventually, in an alleyway that was dark enough that I could not see faces (I was taking a shortcut) he lifted his pace. I was scared, because we were alone. I thought maybe he wanted to he friends, so I stopped walking and so did he, I said “yes?” He only responded after about a minute of silence and said “Can I go home with you.” I answered with “Sorry, but I am not going home, I am going to the store, and also I don’t live here. I am going to a realities house and my home is in the suburbs.” He answered with “can I go there with you.” I simply said, “Why? Are you hurt? Are you homeless?” All he said was “no, I just want to go.” Then he approached me and I noticed once my eyes adjusted that his eyes seemed dark, I thought maybe it was the shadows. But I am a very nervous teen with anxiety, so I thought “well, might as well confirm my superstition.” I turned my phone on for a second so that the light from it let me see his face. He quickly covered his face with his hands. But in the time that it was exposed I saw dark eyes and he backed away nervously. I bolted for the store and he kept backing off. I took off my cross necklace (thank God I was wearing it, I rarely do) and I held it in my hand as I ran. I prayed as I sprinted. Thankfully I made it safely. I wish this story was fake. That image remains in my mind, so freakish." DN

"It was just after Christmas 2015. I stopped around 12:30 am For Gas, but needed to use restroom and grab a coffee also. After filling up, I walked into the main building and took care of things. When I left, I was maybe halfway to the gas station part of the property when two kids approached me. They wore jeans and hoodies. No gloves, boots or anything else.

Please keep in mind I am 6'5 360 pounds, but even I was wearing a coat, so it was cold.

They approached me and asked if they could sit in my truck with me. When I asked why, they said they were cold. I asked why they didn't go back into the 24 hour rest station. They did not respond until these asked if they could stay in my truck again.

One was maybe 14 or 15, the other maybe 10 or 12. Sexes unknown although I assumed them to both be boys. Their eyes were dark and everything about them seemed dark, strange and otherwise just unpleasant.

I shook my head and walked to my truck, but turned back after 5 to 10 steps but didn't see them anywhere. The location is well lit and you can see into the building easily. I have no idea where they disappeared to." AF

-----

"I once worked at a non profit, being the program assistant for a drop in day center for homeless families. My boss was fired and replaced by a real pain in the ass. This woman was horrible, so much in fact I set a meeting with her boss, the Director. As I am walking towards his office I was thinking, control my attitude, my words, etc. I'm really upset with the way my new boss is behaving. So I make it down the hallway up the flight of stairs and I can see his doorway. As I approach I see him and he is sitting at a table that seats 8 and he is pointing to the seat he wants me to sit in (right beside him). I'm already nervous. I set my things down and begin to look up at him he is motionless, eyes wide open, eyes peering, his SOLID BLACK EYES, I mean solid black no white at all. Just unblinking piercing eyes looking into mine. I froze, nobody else around to see this, instant dread and the sense of pure evil came over me. I could barely speak, but I mumble some of my issues and as quick as possible left his office. I've always noticed he had a weird thing with blinking and his hands. Almost like he would long blink while controlling his hands in front of groups of people. NOT the case when I was in his office. Completely creepy. His eyes were normally a blue gray. Not black with no white at all." JL

Photo: Apparition at the 'Revolution House' in Philadelphia - Update

I recently received some updates from patrons of the 'Revolution House' in Philadelphia. Apparently there has been recent activity at the location, especially in the same bar in the 2013 photos.
This is a report from 2013. I received these photos from bartender Chris Kneddler. If anyone has further information, please contact me:

It was taken in Philadelphia at the 'Revolution House' on Market St. in Philadelphia, PA. It has been around since the 1700's. They have a website: www.revolutionhouse.com

The bartender took the photo.

She (submitter's wife) talked to the owner and he said that the employees haven't seen anything, but have felt a presence there.

From left to right their names are Wesson, Shauna and Brea.

The group was visiting Philadelphia from Kansas.

From the website:

At the corner of 2nd and Market Street in Philadelphia's historic Old City district stands a multi-story bar/restaurant with food and drink that will provide you the strength for any revolution. But, the odds are (whether you’re stopping by for Sunday brunch, Friday night cocktails or a celebratory dinner on the neighborhood's only roof-deck), the welcoming staff and creative comfort foods are sure to make you want to settle in and leave the fight for another day.

The atmosphere was created with the help of noted commercial photographer Dominic Episcopo. Owners Luca Sena, Sr. and John Poulos enlisted him to design the look and vibe of Revolution House. Crisp navy blue and soothing charcoal gray accent the original 1798 brick of the former Quaker Friends Meetinghouse. Touches throughout the restaurant pay homage to Philadelphia’s rich historic roots: custom-made concrete tables are inlaid with vintage skeleton keys; reclaimed Lancaster pine forms an American flag that hangs on the wall of the main dining room; an American eagle is the central feature of the massive stairway chandelier; the wainscoting is made from old Philadelphia school doors; and vintage bottles hang together to create a shimmering valence of light above the second-floor bar.

NOTE: I had several people (all sensitives and a photo expert) look at it. The overall consensus is that it's 'unexplained.' BTW, none thought it was hoaxed. What do you think? Lon

'The Thing in the Woods' - Bigfoot Confrontations in Rural Western Pennsylvania

An eyewitness recalls her family's clashes with local Bigfoot in western Pennsylvania. It got so bad that two lifelong outdoorsmen vowed that their hunting days were over.
I recently came across this interesting account:

"Within the past 2 or 3 years, I put pieces together from my childhood and concluded that the creature we all feared when we were kids (which we simply named "the thing in the woods") was in fact a Bigfoot. There were just too many similarities to a lot of incidents and descriptions that I've heard from researchers and eyewitness accounts. I also looked up sighting reports and couldn't believe it when I saw that my area (western Pennsylvania) was a literal hotbed of activity! And I can commiserate with others, having something like this lurking in your home area is terrifying, especially for kids. I remember these occurrences didn't really start happening until I was around 11 and my sister was 8.

I remember when we first acknowledge our "thing" to a couple of our cousins when they were visiting for a day. We were sitting on my Gram's porch, who lived next door to us in a rural area. It was going to start getting dark in about an hour or so, and we started getting nervous. Our cousins kept asking why we were saying we had to go down home and be in before dark. We finally told them that there was something that would come through the woods after dark that sounded like a freight train and broke tree branches and (I guess this was the vital clue) that it stunk awful. The best way to describe it then was like burning rubber. That's when my older cousin, very calmly but matter-of-factly simply said "Oh well it sounds like you have the thing in the woods here too." We were shocked and asked what he meant.

He recalled a story he'd heard his dad and uncle talking about to their wives the previous hunting season (about 2 or 3 hours from our place this was). They always went deer hunting, and in summer went fishing. They had this little tin trailer they bought for that property that was about a couple hours from their houses. They had it for only about 3 years. He said that this past hunting season they cut their trip early, coming home after only about 3 days. And they got home at some crazy hour in the morning, because they'd left in the middle of the night to come home. Their reason was the following.

My cousin said that his dad and uncle had been up at camp and everything seemed normal at first, though it seemed that there were fewer deer that season. Populations change so they didn't think anything of it. The first night they were there one of them thought they heard some tree breaks while he was out relieving himself, but thought nothing of it since there are bears up there too. Trees can break naturally and fall. That night they slept well but when they left in the morning they saw some odd pine cones and a couple small rocks around the trailer. They couldn't figure out where they came from.

The second night they both heard pinging on the roof and back of the trailer that sounded like really heavy big hail. It only happened randomly, but it was enough to pique their interest. They looked outside, but didn't see anything. They commented that they smelled something awful, like a skunky-type smell. It was my cousin's uncle that had said it reminded him of "burning tires on asphalt in the heat of summer" (that's why when we said that it tipped my cousin off).

Outside that next morning they found more rocks behind the trailer. They climbed a ladder to the roof and there were rocks on top. This definitely perplexed them but they thought maybe it was some stupid kids messing with them. So they hunted that day and that (final) night they were talking and listening to see if something would happen again. Sure enough they heard some large rocks hitting the back of the trailer. They went out with guns and yelled whoever it was to stop, that they had a right to protect their property and they'd do it. But he rocks kept coming. They went back out and smelled that awful odor again. Very strong at that point. Then they heard what they described was a loud, powerful 'slap' on the backside of the trailer. Now they were mad. They ran out again with their guns to confront the pranksters. They said that all they saw was a dent in the trailer and as they panned their flashlight they caught a glimpse of something large taking off through the tree line. They said it had dark fur, like a bear, but they both said they saw it 'running upright like a person.' They knew no one in a fake suit could move that stealthily, or put that dent in the sidewall of their trailer. They went inside and one of them said, "We just saw a "f*cking Bigfoot!" They packed up their things and left within the hour, feeling very threatened. That was the last time they ever went to that property.

So something terrified these lifelong hunters/woodsman into giving up something they loved. Hearing that story made me a believer. We were terrified all through growing up of the thing in the woods. Even to this day, after more recent encounters, I'm just as scared and won't go there at night. And what truly solidified my belief that Bigfoot were around here was when I started to live with my ex (not living there now because he passed away unexpectedly). He insisted that there were Bigfoot coming around the property. He had weird habits too, which made me feel he was serious. He was a very well-respected Army vet and active duty policeman." RK

Tall Screaming Humanoids Encountered in Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico

Three teens encounter two unknown humanoids while camping in the mountains. The terrifying screams and heavy footfalls leave the boys paralyzed in fear. What were these monstrous beings?
I recently came across the following bizarre account:

"I am from Roswell, New Mexico. Born and raised. I grew up dealing with bullsh*t alien nonsense my entire life.

I am a very logical thinker, and have had many strange things happen to me in the past, but have always dealt with them in a “this can logically be explained” mindset since I can remember. But what I am about to write about is something I cannot explain, and it also something I am hesitant to even think about anymore.

I was camping with my cousin Kam (17 at the time, same age as I was), his little brother Nick (13) and my aunt and uncle. We were near Cloudcroft, NM, up in the mountains (Lincoln National Forest). My uncle had just bought a new camper, and we decided to go camping with it for the weekend. The weather was beautiful, and me and my cousins decided to bring a tent to sleep in instead of the camper so we could be in peace. We set up our tent about 60 yards away from the camper and the fire that was right outside of it. Towards the end of the first night, and after a long day of exploring, we all decided to lay down for the night. We were not camping on an actual campsite. It was a spot my uncle had found some years back, and it was the perfect spot to set up camp.

At about 3 am, the fire was completely out. My cousins and I were still awake. Nick, being the youngest, was trying to stay up to be cool with us but ended up falling asleep. It was only Kam and I awake now. We were just shooting the sh*t, talking about hot chicks from school, brilliant ideas for things that need to be invented, and eventually slowly started to fall asleep too.

All of the sudden we heard a BLOOD CURDLING scream from the distance, probably the same distance away the camper was, only in the opposite direction. Me and Kam both picked our heads up off the pillow and said almost simultaneously, “what the fu*K was that?”. It wasn’t a bear. It wasn’t a fox. It was BIG. The closest way I know how to describe it is a mixture between a banshee and a rabid peacock. Its voice was deep, and echoed through the deep woods. It let out another blood curdling shriek and we both sat upright on our blowup mattress. Immediately after the screech, it started clicking. An odd, deep, clicking sound coming from the back of its throat. It was loud enough to hear from the distance too.

We were scared, and neither of us had any idea of what it could be. We waited a second, both quiet as a mouse. It let out another scream followed by a series of clicks but it seemed to be closer now. Maybe 10 yards closer. I looked at Kam and he looked just as shocked as I was feeling. I was trying to convince myself it was a bird of some sort, or a mountain cat, then I heard it walking. It was walking on two feet, and I could distinctly hear it. It even sounded big, taking huge strides, cracking branches and leaves under its feet as it walked. It sounded like it was coming close to us. It screeched/clicked loudly again, I could tell it was about halfway to us now.

Suddenly, another scream/clicks came from another direction, sounding just as close as the other creature. It sounded more aggressive, more angry and dominant. The first creature then let off a series of clicks too. Then it hit me, THEY WERE COMMUNICATING.

At this point, I was terrified, and so was Kam. I had an axe under my blowup mattress, but I was afraid to get up and grab it. Then, both of the creatures started walking towards us. Both on two legs. Not screaming or clicking, but it sounded like they were trying sneak up on our tent. They were getting closer and closer. The first one screamed LOUDLY. I could tell it was roughly 15 yards away now, and so was the other creature. After screaming it started clicking again, and the other one clicked back at it.

They were both walking closer and closer to the tent. I could hear them both stepping on limbs and leaves, but I could feel the ground thud with each step they took. I was panicking, frantically looking for my axe while Kam was frantically trying to wake up his little brother. I couldn’t find my axe anywhere. I realized I had left it near the campfire because we were using it to cut pieces of wood for the fire. Nick was not waking up, and they were getting closer and closer to the tent.

Eventually, Kam and I froze. The second one had stopped about 10 feet away from the tent, but the first one was walking right up to the tent. As soon as it was right outside the tent, I yelled as loud as I could, out of pure fear, “GETHA FU*K AWAY FROM HERE, LEAVE US ALONE!” It stopped. It was right outside. I could almost see it through the tent. It was huge. Tall enough to lean over and look through the top of the tent if it wanted too. I could tell it was slim, humanoid and heavy. I could feel its energy, and it was very negative. I felt the vibes of the universe, and they were telling me that whatever these things were, they were not there to just say 'hi,' or steal our hot dogs.

I was frozen. They were right outside, and the moon was covered by clouds so moonlight was no longer shining anywhere. I couldn’t even hear it breathing. It was silent. The second one clicked from behind us, still 10 feet away or so from the tent. The first was didn’t move. It didn’t make a single sound, and it was probably a foot away from the tent. My heart was beating so hard that I thought I was going to pass out. All of the sudden, it took two huge steps back, and the second one let out a scream so loud it hurt my ears. I immediately burst into tears. The second creature Took off into the woods, pounding the ground underneath it, running on two legs. The first one apparently turned around, and walked away back into the deeps woods. I waited until I completely heard its footsteps disappear until I unzipped the tent. I threw little Nick over my shoulder, and we booked it towards the camper.

We got inside and woke up my aunt and uncle. They had no idea what was going on, and urged us to take our asses to bed. We slept in the camper the next two nights, and I didn’t leave the campsite for the rest of the trip.

I don’t know what we encountered that night, but all I know is that it was NOT an animal. It was NOT human. NOT a bear or a four legged animal. It has scarred me ever since, and its energy and screams still haunt me to this day." YJ

The witness later mentioned:

I give you my word, this was very real. I didn’t find any proof to back up our story. However, one thing I did find really strange was the fact that there was a HUGE rock at the end of a “trail” near our campsite that was absolutely covered in moss. The last day we were there, all of the moss on the rock was GONE. I couldn’t even recognize the rock until little Nick said something about it. The rock looked like it had been licked clean. Not literally, but there wasn’t any sign that moss was ever growing on it in the first place. Just a two days prior, the moss on it was so thick that it felt like a couch cushion. YJ

NOTE: It is a very bizarre account. The eyewitness couldn't provide anymore information, not even any speculation as to what these beings were. I read a Skinwalker encounter several years ago that kind of matched the sound that this witness described, but I'm not sure if there is a connection. Lon

Is 'Canine Creature' Mauling Connected to Possible Dogman Reports Near Louisville, Kentucky

There has been speculation that a possible Dogman or upright canine is roaming in and around Louisville, KY. Recently, a boy was brutally mauled and killed by a 'canine creature' in Knott County. Is there a connection?

"In January of 2019 I heard a disturbing sounding call in a section of a park across from my school. In February, there was an attack on a herd of llamas on a farm beside the Louisville Zoo. The investigation as to what caused the attack is still ongoing. A week later two donkeys were killed about five miles away. Then some sheep were found either dead or missing in a farm outside the city.

Recently it's been discovered there was speculation that a group of dogs could have killed the llamas. However, upon further investigation I have found that this can be ruled out due to the territorial nature of the llamas as well as the mention of the bite marks around the ears and flanks. This can also be ruled out as dogs attack primarily around the neck as it does the most damage and can kill the opponent easily and quickly.

Upon examination of similar reports around the same time as well as similar posts I have found on social media I have come to the conclusion two things. The first is that whatever this creature is it most likely originated around Brandenburg (for the non-Kentuckians, that's about an hour outside the city) as there have been sightings of a suspicious creature around that area. The second, is that this creature is most likely a dogman due to the speed and stealthiness the creature appears to be hunting at." S1

Then this story broke recently:

KSP TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL KILLED 13-YEAR OLD BOY

Boy, 13, is killed in a suspected 'canine' attack on a Kentucky mountainside near a relative's home

Then I came across this post on social media:

“A 13 year old boy was killed this past Tuesday in Knott county KY. I’ve been following the stories trying to stitch together the evidence to make some sense of it all. He was staying at a relatives house and familiar with the area. Playing in the backyard, relative called 911 at 6pm saying the boy was being attacked by a canine type creature. First responders on site at 6:30, the 911 caller directed them up the mountain behind the house. They had difficulty getting up the mountainside because of the steep slick terrain but found the boy dead 300-400 feet straight up the rain slick mountain.

State trooper reported “something is out there.” Coroner confirmed boy was killed by a canine type creature but can’t identify what exactly. The latest reports are “canine creature”. No wolves in KY for decades. A full grown 40lb coyote can’t drag a 100lb dead body up a mountainside. No mountain lions in KY. A feral dog or even several feral dogs aren’t dragging 100 lbs of dead weight up a mountainside, Not a bear, coroner has determined cause of death to be a “canine type creature”. The funeral was yesterday.

I have communicated with the relative who set up the GoFundMe page and three different reporters. All say “canine creature.” Coroner has had ample time to test DNA. Known animals would be easily identified but they aren’t saying what it was that killed the boy. A bear or mountain lion are the only two animals I know of that could kill a human and have the strength to drag him 100 yds up a rain slick mountainside. But it wasn’t a bear or mountain lion, coroner said canine creature killed him. Authorities are asking neighbors to be “hyper vigilant” of their surroundings. Google 13 yr old boy killed by animal attack KY. The story will most likely fade to black with no official ID of the animal or creature that killed him.” PS

NOTE: Local officials are now saying that the boy was killed by a pack of dogs. In a few respects I suppose that this is possible, but is it probable? I'm going to watch this further. Lon

'Hairy Man' Comforts Injured Navajo Girl in New Mexico

An young injured girl suddenly finds herself face to face with a Bigfoot. This creature shows compassion and care towards her, and assists by carrying the girl home
I recently received a telephone call from a woman 'LM' who described her personal Bigfoot experience:

LM is woman of Navajo heritage who once lived in the town of Lovington, New Mexico. As a child, in this instance the age of 8 years old, LM and her friends would play on the school grounds near her house. There was also a small grocery store with a large porch where the children would also spend a lot of time. Her mother had credit there, so LM was allowed to purchase candy. This grocery store also butchered meat.

During a summer day in the early 1980s, someone or something vandalized the grocery store while the owners were on vacation. The front door had been torn through and there was a large hole in the floor of the front porch. The majority of the butchered meat had been stolen.

When the owners returned home, they started to blame the local residents of theft and vandalism. This was very much out of character for the people in this small town. Everyone depended on the grocery store. Besides, it was a friendly tight-knit community and crime was very rare. There were never any charges brought against anyone. The grocery store soon closed its business in Lovington and moved to another town. The grocery store building was left as is and abandoned.

One early morning a few months later, LM and her younger sister were home alone after her parents had rushed LM's older sister to the hospital several miles away. LM's sister had a ruptured appendix the night before and needed immediate treatment.

LM was sleeping on the couch in the living room while her younger sister was fast asleep on the floor. LM was awoke by a loud creaking sound outside the front door. She raised up from the couch and thought she had seen a large hairy head and shoulders in the window. Alarmed, LM immediately pulled the covers over her head while hoping this 'thing' would go away. She continued to hear noises on the porch. Once again, she noticed the same large hairy head and shoulders standing in the window. It would duck down below the window, then slowly raise up.

By this time, LM had become curious and thought that her cousins may have been playing a prank on her. Her little sister was still asleep on the floor. LM got off the couch, walked to the window and peeked out. She was amazed to see a huge 'hairy man' swiftly striding towards the side of the house in the direction of the school. LM ran to the door, stepped out barefoot and began to run after this large 'hairy man.' She was sure that someone was trying to scare her and she was somewhat fearless when she was young. She was going to find out what this was.

LM ran past the school and made her way to the abandoned grocery store. She heard noises coming from inside the building. She stepped up onto the porch and immediately felt a sharp stabbing pain in her right foot. She quickly sat down on the porch and saw that she had stepped on a large splinter. She was in terrible pain as she tried to remove the splinter while the tears flowed down her cheeks.

Then without warning, a large hairy hand reached from behind her and pointed at her injured foot. LM commented that the fingernails were black and that the hand was the size of a catcher's mitt with thick fingers. She said that she was not afraid of the hairy man, but did not like the way it smelled. She looked up and saw a face of an ape-like man with long dark reddish hair falling over it from the top of its head. The skin was like that of a tanned Caucasian man but more rugged looking. The eyes were round and honey colored. She reached up and pulled on the hair, wanting to see if this was not a costume. She yanked it hard enough that the hairy man grimaced in a way that indicated the he did not like that. But she also noticed compassion as well.

The hairy man then picked LM up into his arms and cradled her like a baby. He rose to his feet and quickly walked in the direction of her house, occasionally stopping near a pine tree in order to see if anyone was watching him. LM was afraid that the hairy man was going to kidnap her, but was relieved when they reach her house. He gently lowered her on the porch and watched as she tried to remove the splinter from her foot.

The hairy man then turned quickly, as if he heard something approaching. He ran off towards a large grove of pine trees and was gone. In a minute or two, the local police car was making its way down the street. LM said you could always tell it was the police because they had one patrol car and that it make a loud squeaking noise as it went by. The hairy man must have heard it from a distance and ran off.

LM now believes that the hairy man was responsible for the break-in at the grocery store. She estimates that the hairy man was about 8 ft in height and covered in thick long reddish hair that seemed to slightly change in hue when it moved. LM said that she never saw the hairy man again, but she did see a smaller hairy biped a few years ago while she was driving home at night. Her account is not widely known, as she never told anyone other than her daughter. She recently encourage LM to come forward. Lon

6 Ft. Hairy Hominid Encountered Near Salt Lake City, Utah

Two friends were hiking in a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah when one of them witnessed a 6 ft hairy hominid moving between the bushes. They also discovered an unusual teepee-shaped structure. Was this a Bigfoot or something different?
I recently came across the following account:

"A friend and I were hiking not far from downtown Salt Lake City in July (2014). After a while we decided to rest a bit. It was around 5:15 pm. Since the trail was narrow and crowded with bush we left the trail to rest under some very tall fir trees where the bushes were less thick but it was still shady. July in Salt Lake is close to 100 degrees.

As I was leaning on a stump, I noticed that we were standing among several trees that formed a teepee shape. As we were noticing and discussing it, I heard a loud crash and then a twig snap a few yards in front of me. (My back was to the trail, so I was facing a hillside and deeper forest growth while my friend was facing the trail with his back towards the hillside. The trees in the teepee formation were to my right about 10 feet and where my friend was facing them and the trail), so my head was turned about 90 degrees when I heard the commotion coming from the base of the hillside.

I immediately looked toward the sound and saw a hominid covered with dark brown hair moving quickly behind the thick bushes. He wasn't more than 6 feet tall and I didn't get a good look at his face because he turned and moved so quickly. I noticed that his hair was two toned, with the darker hair on his head and shoulders and the lighter hair on his midriff, his legs appeared darker.

I shouted, "Did you see that!?" to my friend while trying to make sense of what I was seeing. (The last time I saw someone tromping through the bushes in that area was in the early spring. There were two x-country skiers coming back down the mountain. The one in front was wearing a blue jacket with the typical two tone dark grey shoulder pattern.) So for some reason it was the first explanation that my brain came up with for what I was seeing there in July. I mean, I could clearly recall the hairy creature, but at the same time, my brain was refusing to believe it and was trying to come up with a scenario for the situation. All it could muster was a skier hiking through the forest, not on the trail but fully dressed in dark ski clothes from head to toe, in July.

At any rate, I then began to call out, "Hello!? Hey! Hello??" while also trying to listen for the direction of his retreat between my calls. My friend ran up to the spot see if he could see anything. He had only seen a blur by the time he had turned all the way around to see what had made the sound so he wasn't sure what we were looking for. Even though it was only a few short yards to the spot where I saw our "skier", there was nothing there. I regained my senses and ran to see if there were any tracks. I found one, but it resembled more of the kind of print you'd find in deep sand - more of a dugout type of depression in the needles. I measured it from side to side and it was about an inch longer and wider on each side than the size 11 Chaco sandals I was wearing.

I hadn't heard any crashing through the bushes after the initial noise that grabbed my attention so I was unable to determine what had happened to the "skier" after it had passed behind the bushes. There were small green plants covering the ground in the direction he went but they were only compressed and then quickly ran out at the edge of a very small and gentle ravine running back up the hill. We scanned for tracks but I didn't feel like pursuing into the deeper brush or up the ravine so we went back to the trail.

Oddly, neither of us felt threatened in the least, and although the valley we were hiking up was very narrow, we just continued up the trail in the same direction our furry friend had gone. We thought we heard movement up the hillside a few times and from various directions but still never felt threatened. After an hour or so of high awareness hiking, we turned back so we wouldn't get caught up there after sundown.

After giving it some thought, I found it highly suspicious that the creature had absconded so quickly through the brush without any noise except for the initial crash. I wonder now if the noise was a deliberate attempt to get our attention, not as a trap, but rather as an alert. A sort of "Hey, we're here. Please respect our space."

I'm never going to hike there alone again, that's for sure. But I'm definitely going back up there with a friend or two. I'd like to look for more indications of an individual or family group. If a group has moved in, I'd like to know. Otherwise I might assume it was an itinerant male just passing through." WS

Fortean Feature: The 1978 Ft. Dix / McGuire AFB Alien Encounter

On January 18, 1978 - Fort Dix/McGuire AFB, New Jersey - The primary eyewitness in the case, Jeffrey Morse, alleged that he had been working as a security policeman at McGuire AFB when he was notified about UFO activity over Fort Dix Army base. Morse alleged that he heard that a non-human entity had been shot and he later witnessed the dead body of the entity lying on the ground on a disused runway at McGuire AFB
Incident: The primary eyewitness in the case, Jeffrey Morse, alleged that he had been working as a security policeman at McGuire AFB at 03.00 on January 18, 1978 when he was notified about UFO activity over Fort Dix army base that adjoined McGuire AFB. Morse alleged that he heard that a non-human entity had been shot and he later saw the dead body of the entity lying on the ground on a disused runway at McGuire AFB. The scene was rapidly cordoned off and the body was crated and flown to Wright-Patterson AFB (WPAFB) for examination. Morse himself, two days after the shooting incident, was allegedly summoned to WPAFB and interrogated about the event. He was warned to keep quiet and shortly thereafter was transferred to Okinawa, Japan.

-----

Letter from sergeant Morse summarizing his experience and the incident:

"In January of 1978, I was stationed at McGuire AFB, NJ. One evening, during the time frame of 0300hrs and 0500hrs., there were a number of UFO sightings in the area over the air field and Ft. Dix Army camp. I am a security policeman and was on routine patrol at the time. N.J. State Police, and Ft. Dix MPs were running code in the direction of Brownsville, NJ. A state trooper then entered gate #5 at the rear of the base requesting assistance and permission to enter. I was dispatched and the trooper wanted access to the runway area which led to the very back of the air field and connected with a heavily wooded area which is part of the Dix training area. He informed me that a Ft. Dix MP was pursuing (sic) a low flying object which then hovered over his car. He described it as oval shaped, with no details, and glowing with a blueish (sic) green color. His radio transmission was cut off. At that time in front of his police car, appeared a thing, about 4ft tall, grayish (sic), brown, fat head, long arms, and slender body. The MP panicked and fired five rounds from his .45 Cal into the thing, and one round into the object above. The object then fled straight up and joined with eleven others high in the sky. This we all saw but didn't know the details at the time. Anyway, the thing ran into the woods towards our fenceline and they wanted to look for it. By this time several patrols were involved.

We found the body of the thing near the runway. It had apparently climbed the fence and died while running. It was all of a sudden hush-hush and no one was allowed near the area. We roped off the area and AF OSI came out and took over. That was the last I saw of it. There was a bad stench coming from it too. Like ammonia smelling but it wasn't consent (sic) in the air. That day, a team from Wright-Patterson AFB came in a C141 and went to the area. They crated it in a wooden box, sprayed something over it, and then put it into a bigger metal container. They loaded it in the plane and took off. That was it, nothing more was said, no report made and we were all told not to have anything to say about it or we would be court martialed.

Morse, in subsequent conversations, revealed that two days after the incident he and others on duty at the scene were summoned to Wright Patterson AFB for interrogation, and each was transferred promptly to a separate base overseas.

The Fort Dix/McGuire case was also of interest because a prominent UFO investigator, George Filer, claimed to have been present at McGuire AFB on the morning of January 18, 1978. Mr. Filer told NIDS that he witnessed a commotion with red lights on one of the disused runways at McGuire when he arrived on the base at 4:00 AM. He further claimed that he heard from a Senior Master Sergeant at McGuire command post on the same morning that UFO activity had been sighted by the control tower and on radar at neighboring Fort Dix and an alien had been shot that morning and that it had been found dead on the runway at McGuire. - NIDS - National Institute for Discovery Science"

Alien Being Shot Dead by MPs - Body Found on New Jersey Air Force Base

January 18, 1978

During the early morning hours of January 18, 1978, UFOs were sighted flying over Fort Dix and McGuire AFB, adjacent military bases. Shortly afterward, an Air Force security patrol was ordered to the back gate of McGuire AFB to allow entry to New Jersey State Police who were searching for something. One of the airmen on duty was Sgt. Jeff Morse (pseudonym). The state trooper told Morse that a Fort Dix MP was pursuing a low-flying object that had hovered over his car; then a small being with large head and slender body appeared in front of his car. The MP had panicked and shot the alien several times with a .45 automatic. The being had fled over the fence between the two bases, before falling and dying on the deserted runway.

Morse and his colleagues found the body lying on a deserted runway. As they followed routine procedure and roped off the area of the "crime scene," other "blue beret" forces unfamiliar to Morse and his companion took over. Morse was relegated to a back-up role, but could see from a slight distance what was happening. Later that day a team from Wright-Patterson AFB arrived in a C-141 cargo aircraft, crated up the body, loaded it on board, and took off. Morse and his companion were warned not to talk about the incident or they would be court-martialled.

Two days later Morse and other participants were taken to Wright- Patterson AFB, OH, where they underwent intimidating interrogation and were again warned not to talk about the incident. (Morse supplied the names of the interrogation team taken from their name badges, and their identities have been verified.) Morse reported; "[They] told me about my duty to keep my mouth shut. . . . I signed a form and it is supposed to bind me for life."

Shortly after returning to McGuire AFB, Morse was debriefed by his commanding officer, a lieutenant colonel (name also known), and heard no more about the incident. Shortly thereafter each of the airmen who had been involved was transferred to a separate overseas base. Morse was shipped to Okinawa.

The author has met with Morse face-to-face several times, talked with him on the telephone numerous times, and considers him completely credible. He has cooperated fully, answering all questions to the best of his ability and agreeing to meet and talk with various colleagues. He has given a formal deposition on the incident in the presence of several witnesses, and was subjected to questioning on specific details.

As a direct consequence of innocently being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Morse has been harassed and threatened, and his reputation defamed to the point that he had difficulty finding employment in the law enforcement field.

Another witness is George Filer (Major, USA, Ret.), who was stationed at McGuire AFB in 1978, serving as an intelligence officer; one of his duties was to brief the commanding general. He was not on duty at the time of the incident, but the next morning he heard talk about the "alien body" and saw a lot of unusual activity He is prepared to testify on what he knows firsthand and what he has learned since about the incident. - Richard H. Hall - "The UFO Evidence - A Thirty Year Report"

10/4/1985 - Copy of form letter sent to Senator Dan Quayle, Senator Richard Lugar, Representative Frank McCloskey, which included attachments: copy of letter to Stringfield, copy of Incident/Complaint Report, responses from AF and Army:

Dear Sirs:

I am the State-Section Director for Posey, Vanderburg, and Gibson counties for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), an international organization. I work with the local police, sheriff, state police, airport control tower people, etc., in regards to unidentified aerial phenomenon reported by the public (and sometimes by the law enforcement people, etc.). In the earlier years I served with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (1960- 1974) and they worked with a lot of congressional committees trying to get serious attention on the problems inherent in the situation. We ran into a "wall" when in 1968 the House Committee on Science & Astronautics, chaired by George P. Miller (California) and J. Edward Roush (Indiana), had to wait & see what the University of Colorado decided, as far as the fate of future investigations by the Air Force Project BLUE BOOK. As a result, Dr. Condon's study recommended BLUE BOOK be shut down, and it was, in 1969. Newly released documents uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act show that the government is withholding a lot of information on UFOs, and that the government is still interested in UFOs. Project BLUE BOOK was only a "front".

I am assuming that you have some knowledge in regards this subject. The public opinion polls show that we have come a long way the last 10 years. I have a request. This is being done all over the country and you will not be the only one working on this, but your help is needed if we are to succeed. I have enclosed a document that we of MUFON feel is of key importance to the issue. It is an Incident Report that was given to us by a confidential source. It appears to be authentic. After months of exhaustive research by Leonard Stringfield, Richard Hall, and a few others, the case seems to be standing the test of time. Also, besides the "leaked" document, the person reporting says that he will "go public" with his name when he is assured of a safe forum for his story, such as a congressional committee hearing.

The incident reportedly occurred on January 18, 1978, at Fort Dix-McGuire AFB, N.J. It describes a UFO encounter/alien body retrieval operation. It is a "leaked" document confirming the basic facts of the reporting personnel's story - the document being an "Incident Report" filed by the McGuire Security Police & forwarded to the USAF Office of Scientific Investigation (OSI) for coordination of any follow-up request.

what I am asking, initially, is for you to send this request to the appropriate House/Senate committee for their review and investigation. After about thirty days I will write to the committee chairman, directly, to determine what his committee is doing, or plans to do, to resolve the issue. There is always the possibility that documents like this may be deliberately "planted" so as to be easily discredited, especially since we have gotten over 3,000 cleared as a result of FOIA lawsuits. One such document turned out to be fraudulent about a year ago, but wasn't an embarrassment to us since we exposed it. But this document that you have appears to be real.

In the meantime, we are trying to track down the current location of the several principals cited in the preliminary Incident Report (whose names we deleted from your copy) so as to protect them from the same type of reprisal allegedly incurred by Stringfield's informant.

If you need further information, please contact me whenever possible. Surely, you can see the implications if this one of many incidents can be confirmed. What we hope to get are the follow-up reports that can help resolve any question about the case's authenticity, comparative importance, and outcome. Where do the reports repose now ? The letter, dated 1 February 1985 (also enclosed) states the reports would have been held 5-years, then destroyed! Or, if they were important and classified (which we assume something of this nature would be), where are they now ?

This is only one of the problems involving UFOs that we are trying to resolve, but the implications here are staggering. The full 17-page SYMPAP report by researcher, Leonard Stringfield, will be provided upon request.

Sincerely,

Francis L. Ridge
State-Section Director,
Mutual UFO Network, Inc.

Leonard Stringfield - Dix-McGuire Updated Report

The former Air Force security policeman who claims to have witnessed a UFO incident on January 18, 1978, involving military police at McGuire AFB, New Jersey and adjacent Fort Dix, and New Jersey State Police, recently visited the Washington, D.C., area from overseas, where he is employed and met with the authors. The Fund for UFO Research sponsored a mini-conference to bring Stringfield from Cincinnati, Ohio, and have representatives of the Fund meet the witness to form their own impressions of his credibility.

The witness, Jeff Morse (pseudonym), had contacted Stringfield in 1980 and described the alleged events, including a non-human-appearing body found near a deserted runway, allegedly shot by a Fort Dix MP, crated up and hauled away on a special aircraft from Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Afterwards, Morse was flown to Wright-Patterson for a "debriefing," instructed to remain silent, and shortly afterwards transferred overseas, while his colleagues who also witnessed the event were shipped to various parts of the world.

A preliminary report on this incident (and many others) is included in Stringfield's 1982 "Status Report No. III" and a detailed follow-up report appears in the MUFON 1985 UFO Symposium Proceedings. Over several years, Morse remained incommunicado, surfacing briefly at times in response to Stringfield's communications. His silence, he said, was due to harassment and threats by officials as a result of talking to Stringfield.

The Fund-sponsored mini-conference took place on January 24, 1987, at a large shopping mall in the Washington, D.C., area suburbs. In addition to the authors and Morse, Dr. Bruce S. Maccabee (Chairman of the Fund) and William H. Hall (electronics engineer and brother of Richard) were present. Dr. John B Carlson, Univ. of Maryland astronomer and Fund Board Member, was to have been present, but a postponement caused a schedule conflict and he was out of town on the date of the conference. William Hall. a former technical consultant to the National Investigations Committee an Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), substituted since he had a number of things in common with Morse (including military police background and overseas duty stations) and would be able to judge Morse's credibility as he talked about his activities.

NEW INFORMATION

By prior arrangement Morse remained incognito, using only his first name, but talked freely and responded to questions by Maccabee and William Hall. (The authors know his full name, employment status, past biography, etc.) During the questioning and review of the alleged incident, Morse filled in details that were missing from his previous account, but offered no startling new information. A number of questions were clarified, and some new information (including claims that can be checked and proved or disproved) were offered. However, the authors were again impressed by Morse's straight forwardness and lack of embellishment.

The most significant new information related by Morse, briefly, was his claim that on a trip to the United States to visit his family in October 1986 he had been "detained," while in California, under obscure pretenses. Outraged, he filed a lawsuit against the California-based authority and notified Stringfield by letter that he would return to the United States in January 1987 for court appearances and, at that time would be willing to meet him and Dick Hall and a couple other well-trusted friends to discuss the matter. But, during Morse's layover in the States he could learn nothing about the cause or reason for his detainment, nor the identity of the source who dictated the "pick up and hold" order. His legal probes, for some inexplicable reason, had been stalled in a tangle of red tape.

Among other things discussed at the mini-conference was the entire question of alleged harassment of UFO crash/retrieval witnesses, apparently in an attempt to intimidate them into silence. If Morse's story is credible, he is potentially an important witness who would tend to undermine the official cover-up. Unfortunately, this makes him vulnerable to retaliation (which may account for his detainment) and inhibits his ability to lead a normal life.

Skepticism about crash/retrieval reports may be fully justified and entirely understandable on the part of UFO "believers" and "disbelievers" alike unless they have met Jeff Morse or one of his many counterparts face-to-face. Morse has now provided many additional leads that we intend to check, and we will report our findings objectively as new information is obtained.

AUTHENTIC?

Meanwhile, the authenticity of the "Incident Report" form Morse supplied to Stringfield (reproduced in the MUFON 1985 UFO Symposium Proceedings), obtained from a colleague still on active duty, has been disputed by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) on the grounds that the style and terminology used "allegedly" does not follow proper Air Force style and is therefore probably a hoax. One of the key statements made by AFOSI was that pay grades (E-2, E-3...) were given instead of ranks (Corporal, Sergeant...) on the official form.

Aside from the fact that Morse has claimed all along that this was a rough draft "backroom" copy subject to review and revision, and that minor errors would be corrected by responsible officials before the final report was filed, the AFOSI statement is inaccurate. Pay grades, rather than ranks, are routinely filed in official Air Force reports. Two examples of this are an Air Force form reproduced in a November 6, 1985 Congressional hearing transcript (copy provided to MUFON) and an Air Force Serious Incident Report form on a 1973 case reproduced in Appendix A of Clear Intent by Fawcett and Greenwood (Prentice-Hall, 1984), labeled Figure 6.

Participants of the mini-conference discussed ways of obtaining additional confirmation of the reported 1978 event, and various initiatives will be undertaken to do so. Results will be reported periodically.

As a result of the mini-conference, two additional persons (B. Maccabee and W. Hall) now have met and talked with Morse and can confirm that he is not a "fairy tale" or a figment of the imagination. They are also now in a position to help confirm or disconfirm his story. - Leonard Stringfield & Richard Hall

Former Air Force Maj. George Filer III told reporters that when he was at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey, an alien craft came down, and an alien got out and was shot by a military policeman.

"Our security police went out there and found him at the end of the runway dead," Filer said. "They asked me to brief the general staff," he said, but was later told not to. He said he would tell the story in front of Congress.

Filer is not new to UFO sightings. He has his own Web site called Filer's Files, where he says he also chased an alien ship over England when flying for the U.S. Air Force. "I personally have observed a UFO both visually and on radar. I've been chasing them ever since," he writes. - ABC News

Westport 'Goatman': The Willie Aames Encounters

There are signs that someone or something is getting into the house. Soon after, a 'Goatman' is seen in the yard. Later, the beast is observed entering the young son's room. Was witchcraft responsible?
Willie Aames, star of “Charles In Charge” and over 50 other TV shows and movies, he had gotten a part on a long-running soap called “The Edge of Night”. This was sometime in 1983. He and his family decided to move from California to the east coast, where it was filmed. They found an inexpensive small beach-side cottage in Westport, Connecticut. It had a balcony overlooking the water, with woods in the backyard. Vicki Weatherman, his then wife, and his 3 year old son, Christopher, all settled into the home. Their son's room had a closet with some of the previous owner's things in it, so they left it alone. Right away, they started noticing things missing. Willie's keys went missing mysteriously. Two days later, he found them at the base of the backyard fence, as if somebody stood at the backstep and threw them there. A couple days later, Vicki's purse disappeared and they found it in the closet in their son's room. Also, they noticed that the closet door would never stay closed. No matter how many times they closed it, it was always open in the morning.

In the fall of 1983, they had a dinner party. Willie took the dishes and went into the kitchen alone to clean up. As he stood at the counter, he looked out the window and observed something standing by the tree line looking at the house. The creature stood on two legs, was hairy and had horns that came out of both sides of its head which came down and went up “almost in a 'W' shape.” It also had long sort of claw-like hands. As he turned to tell the guests, when he looked back, the creature was gone. Willie was so shocked that for weeks, he could not stop talking about it. He drew it and even told some people at work.

One night, during this time, he found himself waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of his son crying. When he tried to move, he found himself paralysed. He felt an incredible sense of panic and dread come over him. He eventually managed to crawl out of bed and to the door where, he looked down the hallway to his child's room. This is when he observed something leaning out of his son's room. It came out and stood in the hallway, blocking the light from the living room. It opened its eyes and stared at Willie who in turn stared back at it. Willie claims that he was petrified. It was the same horned creature he saw a few weeks earlier in the backyard and it was now standing in his home, right outside his child's bedroom. It turned and bolted into his son's room. Willie managed to crawl to his son's room and looked in but nothing was there. He noticed that the closet door was open again and this is when he began to suspect that the creature, whatever it was, was using that closet. He placed a chair in front of it. The next day, it was decided that they would move back to California. Willie decided to commute for the remainder of the year. The show finished its run for good in 1984. Since then, Willie has looked into folklore and demonology in an attempt to figure out what he saw. He got the sense that it was “of the earth” and believes that it might be a Tulpa as that area of Connecticut was famous for witchcraft and conjurings.

Curiously, not long after this, Willie's life seemed to spiral out of control. His battles with drugs and alcohol around this time are well documented. While he does not attribute his downward spiral to his encounter with the creature, it is interesting to think that it might have played a part in it. Willie claims that it was “poor life decisions” that brought him to where he was. At age 47, he turned things around by finding religion, getting sober and taking on a healthier lifestyle.

Bigfoot Raids Marijuana Grow Shed in Minnesota

Was the need for pain relief so desperate that a Bigfoot broke into a secure marijuana grow shed in order to access the plants? Read this remarkable encounter account.
I first want to state the following. I believe this to be an absolute truthful account that I'm about to describe. In fact, I mentioned and discussed the incident with the Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team right after I talked to the witness. With that being stated, here's the account:

I was contacted by 'BR' by telephone. The witness had several questions about Bigfoot before he told me what he had encountered. The reason for the questions was because BR did not believe in the phenomenon until he had this experience. He seemed reluctant to talk at first, but was assured that I had heard many hard-to-believe Bigfoot encounters over the years. Little did I know, I was about to hear a remarkable account.

BR is a licensed personal use medical marijuana grower who resides in Minnesota. The general location of the incident is in Carlton County, in a forested area near the Kettle River. In order to avoid theft of his plants, BR built a secure 10'x12' growing shed on a piece of property he owned. The shed was built out of reinforced cement blocks with vertical steel girders placed every 6 inches along the inside wall. He also had a heavy steel vault door fitted with a large tempered lock. The inside of the shed was 8 ft. from ceiling to floor with heating, humidity control, grow lights, etc. The entire setup was very expensive, including the electrical service that he had wired in from the main grid. Needless to say, BR did not want any persons messing with his plants.

According to BR, he kept anywhere from 15 -20 plants at one time. He was also growing for 2 other licensed medical marijuana users. This system had been doing well for a year or so, without any incidents.

Then a few months ago, BR traveled to his growing shed and immediately noticed that the steel vault door had been tampered with. There were scratches all around the outside face of the door and the jam had been slightly bent away from the cement blocks. It was difficult for BR to open the door after unlocking it. He figured that someone had attempted to force their way into the shed, but were unable to gain access. None of the plants were tampered with, so BR fixed the door with additional reinforcement.

Everything seemed fine for about 3 weeks. But then there was another attempt to break into the shed. This time a large hole was created through the cement wall and one of steel girders had been pushed out of its mooring in the concrete floor. Whoever gained access was able to reach into the shed and pull up a few plants. BR was confounded by the effort taken in order gain access. There was snow on the ground, and it indicated that there had been significant activity, but BR didn't notice any prints or other evidence. Not even a shoe print or tracks for any equipment that could have been used to create the breach.

BR then decided to scout out the location. He repaired the wall and then decided that he needed to set up a campsite nearby in order to catch whoever was messing with his property. He was ready for the long haul. BR set up a large tent about 30 yards from the shed and brought enough supplies in order to keep him comfortable for a week or more. He also installed outside lighting around the top of the shed.

After a few nights, everything seemed to be quiet. The only movement that he noticed in the forest was one visit from a black bear and an occasional deer here and there. Then one evening around twilight, he heard cracking sounds coming from the direction of the shed. There was enough light to see movement, though the lights around the shed had not come on yet since it was set on a timer. As BR focused in at a distance of about 20 yards, he could see light escaping from the shed onto the adjacent trees from a far wall. Something had breached the shed! What he witnessed next was a complete and utter shock to BR.

Stepping away around the shed was a 8-9 foot tall Bigfoot carrying at least 6 plants. As BR watched, he observed the creature literally place one of the long stems of the plant into its mouth and strip off the leaves and buds. He watched the Bigfoot chew the contents while walking away towards the forest. I asked BR if the Bigfoot acknowledge his presence. He answered that the Bigfoot looked in his direction for a second, turned and walked away. He said that it did glance back at him one more time, but continued to move into the forest. BR then noticed other activity and sounds coming from the surrounding area. He is positive that there were several other Bigfoot nearby during the incident.

BR's description was of a massive frame with a conical head, covered in dark auburn colored hair. The face had sparse hair and that the features of the face were noticeable. BR mentioned that he could literally see the 'whites of its eyes,' which seemed to glow a bit. The face was very ape-like with a large wide flat nose. He also mentioned that he could clearly see the fingernails on one of the large hands. The gait was also very unusual, as if it picked up its feet higher than a human when it walked. He was able to see the bottom of the feet as it walked away.

I asked if there was an opportunity to take a photograph, but BR said that his phone had been turned off in order to save the battery since he was going to be in the forest for several days.

This incident occurred about 2 weeks ago. BR has since begun building another grow shed at another location several miles away. He did repair the previous shed and has begun to place trail cameras at the location. He is determined to gather evidence, either photographic and/or physical. He does have one of the stems that was stripped and hopes to have it tested for saliva or touch DNA.

BR and I plan to keep in contact. Hopefully I can provide some proof in the near future.

NOTE: Was the Bigfoot interested in the marijuana for possible pain control or simply for the hallucination effects? According to some of the team and other investigators, there have been instances of Bigfoot pulling illegal marijuana plants in the Pacific Northwest / northern California. As well, the native people had mentioned these creature used herbs and plants. It seems to me that the determination to gain access to the plants by this particular Bigfoot was for a medicinal reason. Lon
