Paranormal Encounters, Bigfoot on the highway.

 

An East Texas man named Dustin had a Class A bigfoot sighting while heading home late one evening..

His  eyewitnesses report......

 I was driving down highway 80 in east Texas between Big Sandy and Wilkins near the Sabine River. It is where 80 turns into a 2 lane road and dense woods on both sides of the highway.

 It was 1:20 am on Friday June 12, 2026.

 It was stepping out of the woods on the eastbound side like it was going to cross the road.

 I had my bright lights on and I saw it clear as day. When it saw my headlight  it turned facing me as it turned back into the woods. Its face still looking in my direction as it took one stride back into the woods.

Its hair was matted with a brownish red look and its face was not like you see in pictures. 

It did have the ape like nose but its mouth was more human-like instead of an ape or chimpanzee. Its eyes didn’t glow but did reflect the light enough to look hazy reflective.

I got such a good look at its face that I can still see it. Its face was elongated not round. I figured it would have more facial hair but its was more skin than hair. It did have hair around the face that looked more like a mane. 

It was 7-8 foot tall and about 3-4 foot wide at the chest. By the time I passed it, it had already disappeared into the dark woods.

There have been several other Bigfoot sightings near the Sabine River and the forests of east texas.

1957 Shpenevo Flying Chair/ufo .

 

On late August night in 1957 a teacher and her family had a strange encounter with a man in a flying chair, in  Shpenevo, a small village in the Puchezhsky District, Ivanovo Oblast Russia.

.....

The teacher, A. I. Dubynina, her husband, and small child had come to the village on vacation.

The village was  surrounded by a forest of tall pine trees. In the evenings, after all the day’s activities, they usually rested until about 10pm or 11pm. 

On the night of the encounter they had spend the night at the local school located across her parent’s house. The school is surrounded by pine trees. Dubynina with her child in her arms went for a walk in the forest, while her husband was still talking to her father. 

She walked to the pine trees and then back to the gate of the school to wait for her husband. Today she doesn’t remember why but she had the sudden urge to look up at the pine tree tops and saw a hovering oval shaped object, greenish, kind of emerald in color.

 It was glowing at the edges; the object was transparent and inside she could see a large black chair and a man sitting on it. He had his legs together and his arms on the armrests. He wore a black helmet on his head and black gloves on his hands. Dubynina stared at the man in amazement and then she called her husband in a frightened voice.

 Her husband, concerned about the tone of her voice ran up to her and she pointed out the object to him. Her husband looked, but the object moved and flew out of sight at very high speed. It did now go up, according to the witness it went sideways. 

The couple were so dumbfounded that they didn’t move for several minutes. Her husband, who was a former pilot, decided that it had been some new device for studying the weather. Dubynina didn’t talk about the incident for years..

South Korean's Yeongdeok haunted house.

 

The Yeongdeok Haunted House (historically known as Wooseok Garden) is  located in Gyeongsang Province on the eastern coastline.

 The house was built in October 1980 as a family owned  seafood restaurant near the beach, though it now lays in severe disrepair and over the past four plus decades since it's construction it has become one of the most well known  haunted houses in South Korea.

According to legend,  the ghost's are the former student solders that died during a diversion operation at Jangsari beach in Yeongdeok while  drawing the North Koreans attention away from the Battle of Inchon in the Korean War.

Around 400 to 700 young  soldiers tragically lost their lives during this battle and are belived to have been buried in this area. It is said that while 139 were killed and 92 were wounded (officially), the rest just went missing. 

The reason for the haunting is because the house was supposedly built on top of the mass grave of the soldiers that died there.

Though that's how the legend goes many locals also claim that's not true.

 The house has been featured on several lists as Korea’s most haunted and in the top three haunted locations in many publications.

This house has also been featured in several TV, paranormal special's, nline articles and in countless YouTube paranormal investigation's.

Visitors have reported headaches,  equipment malfunctions and even EVP's ( electronic voice phenomena) Ghost talking on recording.. 

One famous shaman that visited the location claimed their are in fact thousands of spirits there.

Urban Legends 

In one story, a young couple once bought the place to turn it into a seafood restaurant as they got it cheap because of the haunted rumors. But not soon after they opened for business strange things started to happen. 

The wife reported spotting a ghost in the staircase, descending from the second floor again and again with the hair hanging down and when she first saw it she is reported to have fainted at the spot by the mere sight of it. It all was too much and they ended up abandoning the place not soon after because of all the incidents that kept occuring in their home.

In another version of this story the husband died in a car crash and the wife later flees the house because of the frightening ghost in the stairs .

........

According to a slightly different variation of this tale the first owner died in a car accident shortly after opening the restaurant. The second buyer reported a woman ghost descending the staircase with her hair hanging down, fainted at the sight, and abandoned the property within months. A third occupant, who practiced traditional Korean shamanism, moved in believing he could cleanse the spirits and was also gone within a year. Like most urban Legends, each new story add's a little more to the rumor.

....

The current owner, Mr. Ham, moved to the United States in the mid 2010s and has mentioned that he may eventually have the house demolished to make way for a war memorial park honoring the Jangsari student soldiers. 

The 2019 Korean film The Battle of Jangsari, starring Kim Myung-min and SHINee's Minho, retold the operation for a new generation and renewed public interest in the site.

Paranormal Encounters: Houston Rat-Man.

 

Strange sightings are not as rare as many believe Human like entity have been spotted in all manner of forms from flying ones to cave crawler and more...today we talk about The Rat Man of Houston, though he's Not the only rat like humanoid that's been spotted, there are some from all over the country, but we'll get to them eventually..

The Houston Rat-Man has several eyewitnesses accounts dating back to the late 1980's.

 Like it's description would imply, he is a rat like humanoid.

This cryptid was first mentioned  on a 2022 Reddit  post, where the eyewitnesses recounts is strange encounter..

On his post he claims to have seen this  rat-like humanoid near the NRG Stadium. 

Afterwards  several other Houston residents replied to his post, claiming to have also seen the rat man around the city.

.......................

Original 2022 post..

"I had an absolutely bizarre experience at a Texans football game and I just need to share it with you all to see if anyone else has ever encountered anything like this.

Last Fall I was at NRG stadium in Houston Texas when nature called and I headed to the bathroom. Now, here's where it gets weird – I'm at the urinal, and out of the corner of my eye, I spot this guy in a hoodie. But that's not the freaky part. He had this seriously strange nose that was kind of flaring, anf he was chewing on his own finger. The guy looked just like a rat. I was so creeped out that I could barely move. He had this intense gaze locked on me and then he put his finger up to his lips like he was telling me to be quiet, and walked away.

In that moment I felt the most genuine fear Ive ever felt – like the kind that sticks with you. No one else was in the bathroom. Has anyone else ever encountered something like this at NRG stadium? Maybe not exactly at a football game, but just seeing someone or something that made you question reality? It's been bothering me ever since it happened, and I'm hoping I'm not alone in this.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, and seriously, if anyone else has had a similar experience, please let me know I'm not going crazy here"

🐀Other Eyewitnesses discriptions🐀

In 87 or 88.

"I saw this before, but I was only around 4 years old. I had just awoken and was walking down the hall towards the front to find my mom, but something got my attention in my room as I passed. It looked like a huge rat, and my room was messed up. I paused and backed up a couple of steps, and when I turned to look in my room again, this time, the room was completely in order, but in the doorway, staring down at me was a huge rat man. That's the only way I could explain it. I stayed screaming and ran, told my mom. She made my dad throw out a bed someone had given to us because she's very religious and assumed it was a Demon. I don't know what it was, but I still remember it clearly. I've Googled a few times but never found anything that seemed similar until now. I thought maybe rougaroo I'm from Louisiana, so that's our local legend. But it wasn't like a dog it was a rat . I never had imaginary friends or seen strange things before or after that, not until now that I'm older. That was back in 87 or 88."..

................

2000's...

Yeah I’m from Houston and something shockingly similar has happened to me! I was at the Houston comets WNBA game and I was I was out getting concessions. The concession worker was looking down and being quiet fidgety. So once I walked up and asked for some popcorn, the concession worker, then glared up at me with the creepy rat, humanoid eyes. The way he sucked his almost cartoonishly large teeth shook me to my core. And as he stared into my eyes he then did the same shush motion as I backed up and walked away. The strangest part is taht there were many people around me! But no one else seemed to notice!"

.........

......

I was traveling through Texas a few months ago, I was stopping to get some pizza to eat. I went inside the restaurant and swear I saw a rat man leaving the restroom. I tried to alert the authorities and staff, but everyone shrugged it off as me seeing things. I know what I saw, the rat humanoid definitely squeaked at me. But people will believe what they want to sleep at night, I guess"

......

.....

"You are not alone! I live in Houston, TX and I have seen a "person" that fits this description while driving near NRG/South Main area. 

I was sitting at a red light and felt that feeling of being stared at. So I turn my head to my right and in the car next to mine there was what looked like an adult, human sized creature sitting in the driver's seat, but he had the face of a mammal.

At the time, I thought it was dog-like, but it could have been more rat-like as well. His face was covered in fur and he had a snout for a nose and whiskers. Also had the beady, non-human eyes. He stared at me with such intensity without looking away and I felt the most visceral fear, sort of a sinking feeling in my stomach and I wished I could drive away at that moment but I was stuck at the light.

I finally was able to speed away, but that image has stuck with me. Everyone I've told has just laughed it off and chalked it up to my mind playing tricks on me, but they just don't understand! It was super freaky.

So, what do you think? Is there a rat like man roaming the Houston area?????? 

Japanese Folklore,The Kudan

 

Japanese folklore is full of interesting creatures from oni and spirits to any number of fantastic yokai..

Today we talk about the Kudan, a yokai that takes the form of a fortune telling bovine.

Thought not as old as some other yokai legends like the Nine Tailed Fox or the vicious Oni, the Kudan can be traced back at least as far as the later part  of the Edo period.

 Stories of kudan being born on rural farms where reported in newspapers all over Japan with sightings continuing through the 1940s.

 Because they have a supernatural ability to predict the future and they're predictions  always comes true, a kudan's prophecy was considered absolute truth. During the Edo period, newspaper's would try to increase the credibility of their stories by adding the words “kudan no gotoshi,” or, “as if a kudan had said it” to their articles. This phrase remains in use in the Japanese language today as a way of assuring the reader of the truth of a story.

This yokai has such a respectable reputation  for honesty that images of kudan were used as charms  for good luck, prosperity, and protection from sickness and disaster. Newspapers would tell their readers to hang the printed images of kudan on their houses for protection and good fortune. 

Kudan were such popular yokai that their mummified remains were often carted around in traveling sideshows similar to PT Barnum's sideshow and circus in America.

 These kudan where taxidermy creations made from deformed stillborn calves, or from combined animal parts stitched together to create a chimera-like stuffed animal, one popular example of these kind of creation is the "Fiji mermaid " a taxidermy monkey and fish combo.

 People would  pay a small fee to look at these specimens and hopefully receive some of their good luck. A few of these mummified remains can still be found in museums today.

According to legend, Kudan are able to speak human languages from the day they are born.

Most of them don't live for more than a few days at most, the are said too give  one or more prophecies right after birth and then sadly they die. 

Their prophecies can be any number of subjects ranging from historical events, crop harvest (good or bad), droughts, famines, war, plages or pretty much anything else and no matter what it is the  prediction of a kudan always  comes true. 

Most Kudan are human faced cows, though in very rare occasions they can be cow faced humans 

They can appear anywhere in Japan, but seem to be more prevalent in Kyushu and western Japan..

Paranormal Folklore: The Slide Rock Bolter.

  

The Slide-Rock Bolter is a strange and massive  cryptid   that makes it's home on to of steep mountains, it was first recounted by 19th century  lumberjacks, according to folklore it lives in the mountains of Colorado, but only on mountains where the slope is at an angle greater than 45 degrees. 

It somewhat resembles a large fish, with a large head, small eyes, and a huge mouth,  Its tail ends in a fluke like a dolphin, with enormous grab-hooks that it uses to stay in place high above it's prey until it's ready to strike.

The enormous beast doesn't hunt in a typical manner, instead it's a massive ambush predator.

 It can stay completely motionless for days at a time, watching the gulch below for animals or  tourists unlucky enough to cross it's path.

 The moment it's next meal is in sight, it will lift its tail to release its hold on the crest and let gravity do it's job, sending it barreling downhill, it drools a grease like substance   from the corners of its mouth to increase the speed as  its huge body barrels down the mountain.

It's  helpless victims are scooped  into its wide open mouth as it slides down. The accumulated speed will carry the Bolter up the next slope, where it will once again grasp the ridge with its tail and wait for it's next meal to wonder into it's grasp.

........

Encounters..

Whole parties of tourists are reported to have been gulped down at once. The animal is a menace not only to tourists but to the forest as well. Many spruce-covered slopes have been rendered wastelands as the Bolter knocks the trees out by their roots or mows them down as if with a scythe.

.....

A forest ranger, whose district included the rough country between Ophir Peaks and the Lizard Head, conceived the bold idea of deceiving a Slide-Rock Bolter to slide to its own destruction. A dummy tourist was outfitted with a plaid Norfolk jacket, knee breeches, and a guidebook to Colorado. The dummy was filled with powder and fulminate caps and posed in a conspicuous place. 

The next day the false tourist attracted the attention of a Bolter that had been hanging for days on the slope of Lizard Head. The creature attacked. The resulting explosion flattened half the buildings in Rico, which were never rebuilt. The remains of the unfortunate Bolter made many a meal for the local buzzards that summer

1929 Dogman Encounter.

 

Happy October 1st, officially Spooky Season 🎃🦇. 

An early account of  a Dogman/Wolfman raiding a pig farm in 1929..

This creature was described as a large  black, bipedal, pointy eared Bear/ Hyena. 

The sightings took place in Valparaiso, Indiana, and was reported in the Vidette-Messenger,(local News Paper) on  February 8, 1929

The Encounter.....

Galena Indiana,  Feb. 8, 1929—

Another hunt has been started here for the mysterious black beast that raided the A. A. Akins farm just east of here, killed one pig and carried off in its “arms” another pig weighing 85 pounds, according to Leonard Akins, 20, who surprised the animal and was forced to flee for his life. 

Posse of farmers, aided by dogs which tried to trail the black animal, failed to find it and returned still in doubt as to the identity of the creature.

“I can’t imagine what it was unless it was a cross between a big bear and a hyena,” young Akins said. The hunters found one set of tracks that resembled bear tracks, Akins related, but as no one in the party was an expert on bears, the question was left open, he said.

“The critter walked on its hind legs, had pointed ears and ferocious teeth, I can say that much,” Akins declared. The youth said he ran into the animal in a barn on the Akins farm. The beast was killing a 60-pound pig.

“The creature reared up on its hind legs and started toward me,” Akins said. “My airdale dog, however, dashed ahead and barked at it and it turned on the dog.”

Akins then started to run to his home to get his gun. In running he glanced around, saw the animal seize another pig which weighed at least 60 pounds, take it in its “arms,” go across the fence and start for some woods.

“It was as big as a man and walked on its hind legs,” the youth asserted. A canvass will be made of all circuses and zoos in Southern Indiana to determine if any wild beast escaped.

.......

The creature was never captured, and still remains a mystery too this day
