Dogman in the US. 🐺

 

Dogman Encounters October 5,2016 in Nebraska. 

First hand account.

My brother and I were waiting for our bus, at our usual corner stop. It’s about 3 blocks away from our house and there’s a pretty densely wooded creek nearly 1-2 blocks behind our bus stop. The first thing I noticed that was off was that my brother was standing completely rigid, staring intently down the long road (there are only two street lights and a few automatic porch lights down there). I shook him a little bit and asked what he was looking at. He shushed me almost immediately. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a large, black shape darting on 2 legs across the street, to the line of houses on the other side, before disappearing. Thankfully, our bus arrived soon afterward, so we got out of there...

Encounter number two 

New York, October 2000 - 

First hand account.

It was later in the evening, when i was driving back to my in-laws house, by myself and was going down a dirt road. I saw something in the ditch up ahead and on the right and didn't really know what it was, until I got up far enough so that my head lights could catch it. I didn't know anything about Dogmen, until a couple of years ago. This thing had an outline of a huge dog, but when I got closer, it turned and looked at me. I just floored it. It didn't really bother me, until I noticed it looking at me and I saw that it was actually grasping what it was eating. I got back and didn't say exactly what I saw. I just asked them if there were any big dogs or wolves up where they lived. My father in-law just laughed and said, "No." Then he asked why. I didn't say anything. The thing I will NEVER forget are the reddish, orange eyes, that just kept staring at me!

Encounter number three.

Lehigh Acres, Florida.

First hand account 

"I had my doubts of what it couldve been. Thought it was a bear at first glance. but the aggressive behaviors, and foot prints dont lie. All of the evidence ive found points at dogman.

so the 1st night this all started was a few months ago. I was woke up one morning by something tapping on the window to my bedroom, sounded like a fingernail on the glass. Light tapping, but enough to wake me. I woke up, made some coffee, and grabbed a glass of water and went outside. i sat down and had a smoke, and heard some odd noises. weird like clicking sound, not cicadas or grasshoppers, im use to those. then about 5 minutes later a growling sound. very deep but short. This was around 3am.

coffee was done about 20 minutes later, so i grabbed a cup and went back outside to my porch, i took my first sip and i heard this blood curdling scream about 150ft behind my porch, maybe the next block over.

I finished my coffee and im walking inside, just as i open my glass slider, something attacks my porch door, beat the hell out of it for almost 5 minutes straight. scared the hell out of me. i rushed inside, got another cup of coffee, and waited about 20 minutes looking out the kitchen window to see if anything was there. being that my back yard is completely dark, im not sure what i expected, but i gave up waiting and went back outside. i sit down, and im drinking my coffee and i hear what sounds like my neighbors new aluminum fence getting the crap beat out of it. im looking on my side and nothing, my guess is, it went to the other side of his property, to beat the hell out of the panels. it stopped quickly. and that was that. no noise for the rest of morning.

fast forward 2 months, thanksgiving 2020.

im woken again at 3am, same nails on the window event. my dogs havent barked either time, so im suspiscious. make my way outside, coffee ready, iphone up incase there is something there, and nothing. Im talking on the phone with my trucker buddies about what happened before thanksgiving and they dont have a clue. mind you, we all grew up in these woods, well before the internet was invented. so we naturally played in the woods. about 2 hours goes by, and the sun is up enough that i can kinda make out this shape in the woods behind my house. its about 5'5 and just standing in this position for a good 45 minutes. i managed to get a picture of it, but its poor quality. the rest of the day, and that night, will live with me forever. not 2 hours later, i heard this tree branch snap off and something crash to the ground, something heavy. no mistaking that sound for a tree falling over. turns out, a tree on the edge of my neighbors property, about 25 feet up, a large branch about 5 inches diameter is just twisted off and snapped like a twig. its still hanging there. it doesnt even touch the ground but its about 12 feet long. I did have a look in the woods for abit to see if i could find anything, its its mostly 1 obvious human trail that is used often, 2-3 small animal trails, and a really crappy make shift trail with broken trees littering the outline of the sides of the trail. quite abit of big stuff to climb over, logs piled like ive seen and heard about odd like teepee shape, and several grass beds throughout the woods. 1 was recent. the others didnt look too comfortable. so i get done exploring and go inside for a drink and go out to my garage where i can work on stuff ive been doing for awhile. We recently moved to this house, so stuff isnt quite unpacked yet. As im going through the boxes and stuff i hear this loud ruckus coming from the small .25 acre plot across the street from me. something big is moving the palmetto bushes, and there was a large dead tree knocked down before, but something cracked it open and was eating the grubs, i assume. the sound quickly went away. i heard whatever it was, run north towards the canal which is super close. maybe 90ft from my driveway. fast forward to 10pm, im still in my garage, but the door is closed this time. i accidentally banged on the garage door, and i heard something on the other side bang back, me thinking its my kids being the teenagers they are, i bang again, i heard this really loud growl. i run out of my garage and through the house to the outside part, the trash cans are open, and my thanksgiving turkey carcass, which was in a box, had been taken. but the rancid smell stayed. i followed the smell to my backyard and called a buddy whos seen stuff in the woods, and he tells me to be calm, and move slow."

I turn off my porch light, and im sitting out there smoking a cigarette, i hear my bushes on the corner of the house being brushed loudly, i turn around and i heard something large trample the grass down the side of my yard. the neighbors dog is going crazy barking at it. so im not stupid enough to chase it into the street, wheres it gonna go? i stayed on my porch and waited. this big 6ft+ blackish thing runs by from the other side of my house and runs behind my neighbors house. His security lights kicked on, and it ducked behind their above ground pool. its crouched over and i can see it. twice the width of me, easily 400-500lbs.

the following day i found a foot/paw print in a abandoned ant hill in my yard that i had exterminated weeks prior. the morning dew ruined the foot print the next morning, but i have a picture for size comparison.

What makes me think its a dogman? we have a marsh close by thats about 20x20 square miles in size with no trails or roads in or out. there is a waterway within 100 feet of my house that is 12-15ft deep. i grow alot of my own vegetables and fruits, and some have come up missing. As far as the woods behind my house go, there are several trails, some are obviously human as they are used frequently by neighbors, however there are small animal trails which are obvious, and then there are the trails that dont make any sense. they zigzag through bramble vine areas, they are hard to navigate, the trees surrounding the trails are all mostly broken off or leaning like a bigfoot would do. i havent found any structures yet or any markers, no bones. I have recieved a "gift" a pile of leaves on my doorstep one morning. the leaves are from plants in my backyard and have no possible way of magically appearing there.

Japanese legends, The Oni Kidomaru 👹

 

 

 

 Kidomaru

 

Kidomaru is an oni who first appeared  in Kokon chomonju (“A Collection of  Tales Old and New”), a Kamakura Period complication of myths and legends of the Heian Period. He was a member of Shuten doji’s clan,  and is said to be Shuten doji’s son. He is known for his attempts to take revenge on the samurai who defeated his father.
 

 

According to myth  he was born after the Minamoto no Yorimitsu (also known as Raiko) after his party of heroes had defeated Shuten doji and freed all of the women captured by his gang of oni. 

 

The women were grateful to the samurai for rescuing them, and returned home to their villages. One of the women, however, didn’t return to her home. Instead, she traveled to the village of Kumohara, where she gave birth to a baby oni—  Shuten doji’s son!

The boy was named Kidomaru. He was born with a full set of teeth, and an oni’s strength. By the time he was 7 or 8 years old,
 

he could slay a deer or a boar by throwing a single rock at it. He was apprenticed as a temple servant to Mt. Hiei, just like his father was.And just like his father, he was eventually expelled from the temple for being a wicked individual . 

 

He fled into the mountains and lived in a cave, and eventually started robbing people to survive. He also  studied magic and honed his powers in his secret hideout.

Many years later, Raiko was visiting his younger brother Yorinobu. Yorinobu had captured the oni bandit Kidomaru and locked him in  his bathroom. Raiko scolded his brother for being so careless and not properly subduing the oni with ropes and chains. Raiko showed Yorinobu how to tie up an oni, and made sure Kidomaru couldn’t escape. Then Raiko spent the night just to make sure nothing bad would happen.

That night, Kidomaru easily broke the bonds that were holding him. He wanted revenge, so he snuck up to Raiko’s room and spied on him.
 

 

Raiko noticed the oni spying on him and decided to lay a trap. In a loud voice he told his attendants that the following morning they would ride  to Mount Kurama to make a pilgrimage. Hearing this, Kidomaru ran ahead to Kurama to plan an ambush for Raiko. On the road outside of Ichiharano,
Kidomaru slaughtered a cow and climbed inside of its body to hide and wait.

When Raiko and his companions arrived at Ichiharano, they easily saw through Kidomaru’s disguise. Raiko’s best archer, Watanabe no Tsuna, shot an arrow through the cow’s body, injuring the oni. Kidomaru emerged from the cow’s corpse and charged at Raiko with all of his might.
 

 

However, Raiko was too fast: he cut Kidomaru down with a single stroke of his blade.

Fisherman's Wood Ape Encounter.

 

New posts every Friday.

Until the end of October 🎃

Fisherman's Wood ape Encounter.👣

First hand account...

I believe it was in June of 2003 when I was fishing on the Breitenbush River approximately 4 miles upstream from Detroit, OR. The river flows through a fairly steep gorge at this point. Because of a hip replacement I had less than a year before, I moved very slowly and deliberately down to the river. The weather was clear and the ground dry. 

The river is approximately 50 ft wide, swift, and could be as deep as 10 feet. I had been fishing for about 15 minutes when I heard a loud branch snap across the river. In retrospect, I would say the snap sounded like a dry 3-inch branch snapping. 

I placed the sound about 20 feet up the bank. Since I was armed and very immobile with my bad hip, I decided to continue fishing. My thought was that there was a bear or elk in the thick brush. I kept an eye on the other bank but soon lost interest. I then heard a second loud snap similar to the first. Now, whatever it was had my attention. There was something big across the river in the brush. However, I was armed and separated by the river. I continued to fish with my eye on the other side.

As I continously scanned the area, I observed what I first thought was a man move from right to left through a clearing near the source of the sound. 

The sighting lasted only about 3 seconds. There was no sound as "it" moved. My actual thought was, "Oh, there's a man over there." I then thought, "Damn', he was one big..." I was approximately 25 yards away when I saw "it". As my mind digested the information I realized that what I saw had the profile of a sasquatch. I remember a barrel chest, no neck, and it was bi-pedal.

I climbed back over the hill to my car to drive over to the other side. No way could I cross directly. Approximately one quarter of a mile upstream, I found a place to park and a path. The path along the river was well above the point where I spotted "it". Because of my hip, I could not cut through the brush to the river. There was no lower path.

The Evil Eye. 🧿

 

Superstition's, Magic and Curse's: The Evil Eye 🧿

Human beiefs in the strange or otherworldly. Superstition's, Curse's, Magic, Paranormal Cursed objects ect have to existed for has long as people have romed this planet...

One of the most well known superstition's is none other then The Evil Eye. 

               🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿

But what exactly is it and what does it mean? 

Some believe the  originals of the evil eye can be traced to ancient Greek culture. But it has also been found in several other countries for centuries even as far back as 5,000 years in ancient Egypt. The Mediterranean region is rich with legends ary pottery and jewelry depicting it . As well as ancient Jewish text's.

The belief is far reaching  throughout the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and even Latin America, some cultures  believing that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury,while others believe it to be a kind of supernatural force that casts or reflects a malevolent gaze back upon those who wish harm upon others (especially innocents). The idea also appears multiple times in Jewish rabbinic literature.

.....

It's believed that when someone is jealous of you, they can curse you with a look.

In the Aegean Region and other areas where light-colored eyes are relatively rare, people with green eyes, and especially blue eyes, are thought to bestow the curse, intentionally or unintentionally.

The evil eye is well known throughout history. It is mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman texts, as well as in many famous literary works, including the Bible (Proverbs 23:6: "Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats") it's also mentioned in  the Koran and even some of Shakespeare's plays. 

Though belief in the evil eye is widespread, it's not universal. A 1976 cross-cultural survey by folklorist John Roberts found that only 36 percent of cultures believed in the evil eye. That number has likely changed by now.

....

Apotropaic magic (from Greek αποτρέπω, apotrépō 'to ward off') or protective magic is a type of magic intended to turn away harm or evil influences, as in deflecting misfortune or averting the evil eye.  this includes charms, pendants, rings ect 

Different cultures have different methods  to protect against the evil eye.

 Some of the most famous talismans against the evil eye include the nazar amulet, itself a representation of an eye, 

and the hamsa, a hand-shaped amulet. Older iterations of the symbol were often made of ceramic or clay; 

however, following the production of glass beads in the Mediterranean region in  1500 BC, evil eye beads were popularised with the Indians, Phoenicians, Persians, Arabs, Greeks, Romans and Ottomans.

Ancient Romans also used representations of phallus, such as the fascinus, to protect against the evil eye, while in modern-day Southern Italy a variety of amulets and gestures are used for protection, including the cornicello, the cimaruta, and the sign of the horns.

 In Roman times, not only were individuals considered to possess the power of the evil eye but whole tribes, especially those of Pontus and Scythia, were believed to be transmitters of the evil eye.

Many different objects and charms were used for protection from fascination. The protective items referred to by the Greeks with a variety of names such as apotropaia, probaskania, periammata, periapta and profylaktika.

The fascinus or fascinum, from the Latin verb fascinare "to cast a spell" (the origin of the English word "fascinate"), is one example of an apotropaic object used against the evil eye. They have been found throughout Europe and into the Middle East from contexts dating from the first century BC to the fourth century AD phallic objects where also believed to ward off the evil eye 

Phallic charms would be made for personal adornment (such as pendants and finger rings), but also appeared as stone carvings on buildings.

The  Greeks placed talismans in their houses and wore amulets to protect them from the evil eye.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans also believed that the evil eye could affect both humans and animals.

..

For those that don't believe in magic or superstition's the phrase Giving someone the evil eye just means giving them an angry or irritated look. 😠🧿

🌲🌳👣🌳🌲

Eyewitness first hand account of a Bigfoot sighting in glacier national park in Montana in the fall of 1982.

 I can hardly remember the date,but I do remember the events leading up to the sighting. It was a very warm fall day when my cousin's and myself decided to some hunting on horseback. The area that we hunted was the foothills of the rockies on the Blackfeet Reservation in Big Sky Country. We had decided half way into the trip to just take a ride a wait for lady luck to bring us something during the ride.

All day was pretty good as far as the ride went but I know that everybody still had the idea of getting a deer on their mind. We had decided to ride hime through a brushy trail hoping to run into some game before we made it home. Most of the day was gone and the evening sun was warimg our backs as we made our way home.

As we approached the trailhead my cousins horse was reluctant and fought the briddle bit for awhile. We thought it was just because of it being green broke. Once inside the brush a good ways into it our horses started stepping very softly and snorting once in awhile as if something didn't agree with sence of smell. I could see the opening of the trail and it would also be the end of the trail. One of my cousins was just about to say something when our horses began jumping in different directions like they were scared of something, the first thing on all our minds was, A BEAR! We began looking in different directions trying to get find the location of the bear.

I don't remember who was the first to sight what it was we saw, I just heard him swear and ask the rest of us to look. We looked in the direction he was pointing and saw this very tall thing running on two legs beside us and then turned in front of us. The thing crossed the trail in front of us about 40 feet and stopped at the edge of the brush, it just stared at us as if in the same amount of amazement as we were, and then just disappeared into the trees just as fast. The best way I can describe it as probably the hairiest man I have ever saw well past 6 feet tall. It was hard to determine the size but the branches the we found broke the next day were from 6 feet to about 8 feet in some places some foot print were found in places where the ground was soft and along the trail we followed towards the mountains. This was the only sight we had since then and this was when I was 14 years old I am now 30 and probably the first one to tell anyone what we saw that day.

More post coming soon 🙂

Bozeman Bigfoot..

 

First hand account of  a Bigfoot sighting off US191 near Bozeman Montana in 1993.

Witness account.....

Two friends and I were backpacking in the summer of 93'. We were going to hike the Gallatin divide that summer, one weekend at a time. We started south of Bozeman and planned to finish in Yellowstone latter that summer. This was our third weekend and it being a Sunday we were hiking out to our car which was parked at the Portal Creek access. It was getting late in the day and it looked like some weather was rolling in.

We were coming down the west side of windy pass so we decided to double time it so we weren't exposed in the weather. We didn't make it to the tree line before the storm hit us. The wind was howling and a nasty mix of rain/hail came down on us. When we were well enough below tree line we decided to sit out the storm by this rock out cropping. Wind whipping through the hills, especially in a rocky area like this, has a very distinct sound. It seemed like there was something else in that in that howl. Something that didn't quite sound like it was part of the wind. No one commented on it but I could tell by how Dan and Kevin were looking around that they heard it too.

After about 45 minutes the wind died a bit and only a slight drizzle was falling. We started hiking back down, the clouds were clearing and it looked like we were gonna get a good view of sun setting over the Spanish peaks. We were coming through this clearing that had been cut maybe ten years ago. The sun was almost out of sight when we heard some thrashing across the clearing. It could have been almost anything but since we were in bear country Kevin took out his .357; not enough to stop a determined grizzly, but it was better than nothing. We proceeded slowly across the clearing. It was maybe a hundred yards towards to older tree line, with a lot of scrub and young pines in between. I was looking up for circling carrion when I heard this howl. It sounded like what I had heard earlier but now the wind wasn't behind it. It sent a chill up my spine. Dan, who was behind me yelled something to the effect of "holy shit" and pointed off to our right. Something massive and dark and clearly running on two legs ran through the brush about sixty yards away and disappeared into the forest. I don't think any of us moved or spoke for about five minutes until we heard the howl (yell?) again (this time pretty far off and in the opposite direction than we were heading) We got out of there in a hurry.

We didn't tell too many people about this when we got back to town. We did return back to Portal Creek access the next weekend to start our hike again and I've been back to that area several times since hunting or just out of curiosity and I've never heard or seen anything unusual.

Ohio Dogman Sighting.

                                    🐺🌑🐺

First hand encounter with the Ohio Dogman.

..

...

People need to be made aware of these things, they are as real as it gets and they are dangerous.

“I have always loved nature, I love the woods, I love hiking and camping, fishing.

"On this occasion I was by a lake for 15 minutes when all of the sudden this overwhelming feeling of dread came over me.

“I switched my headlamp on to turn around to start back up the river bank and right behind a big sycamore tree, I saw what looked to be a very large animal kind of kneeling beside it.

“As I locked my eyes on it, I completely froze. I knew I was definitely seeing something there, but my mind couldn’t process it.

What I was looking at didn’t make any fucking sense. I kept saying to myself “animals aren’t supposed to look like that.

Right as I’m thinking this, it’s as if this thing read my mind, stood up and made itself perfectly visible.

You know, the monsters your parents told you weren't real and couldn’t hurt you?

“I’ve heard of the “Dogman” before but never really took it seriously. These things are perfectly adapted killing machines.

The way the arms and legs looked, it looked like it was perfectly adapted to walk on all fours as well as on two legs

“This experience has torn a huge hole in me.

Another who shared their experience in Georgia said he was rafting with friends when he had to answer a call of nature.

When he stopped in a clearing “a genetically mixed entity of man, wolf and primate” suddenly stepped out.

He added: “I spent 21 years in the Army, all over the world and in three different theatres of war and I have barely slept at all since seeing this thing, an enormous canine type creature.

“I can still taste the fear in my throat and my own vomit. I am six foot tall and about 250 solid pounds and this thing dwarfed me.

"At least 7 foot 6 and maybe 350-400 pounds.

“As a former college and semi pro football player and powerlifter, I know about big people and about strength and musculature and this was no normal creature that evolved somehow in that environment.

“I can promise you this is not something anyone would want to encounter twice.

Wisconsin Werewolf sightings

 

Dodman Encounters  

On October 31, 1991 at 8:30pm, a woman driving along  Bray Road near Delavan, Wisconsin which is approximately thirty miles south-southeast of Jefferson(site of Schackelman encounter in 1936), felt her right front tire jump off the pavement as if it had hit something.

 The woman stopped her car and looked into the misty darkness and saw a dark hairy creature with a bulked-out chest racing towards her. She went back into her car and tried to speed away when the creature leaped onto her trunk. The creature eventually fell off from the trunk because the trunk was too wet to have a firm grip. Later, the woman returned with a friend and they had a glimpsed of a big form rising from the side of the road.

 

 

Lorianne Endrizzi had a similar encounter as above in the fall of 1989.

 She was driving on Bray Road, a half a mile away from the above encounter, where she thought it was a person kneeling in a hunched position at the edge of the road. She slowed down and to her surprise, the figure stared at her at no more then six feet across the passenger side of the car. The figure was covered with grayish brown hair, with big fangs and pointed ears. "His face was long and had a snout, like a wolf." She told reporter Scarlett Sankay.

 The figure's eyes glowed in the darkness and they were a yellowish-gold color. 'The arms were really a kind of strange; jointed like a man or woman would be," she said. "He was holding his hands with his palms upward. The arms were muscular 'like a man who had worked out a little bit." The back legs looked like they were behind him, like a person kneeling." The sighting lasted about 45 seconds and she had no idea what the creature could have been until she saw an illustration at the library of a werewolf.

 

 

Around that same time as above in Elkhorn, near Delevan, a dairy farmer named Scott Bray saw a "strange looking dog" along his pasture on Bray Road. It was bigger and taller than a German shepherd, it had pointed ears and hairy tail, with long, scraggly grayish black hair. It is "built heavy in front - a real strong chest." In the soft soil nearby he found enormous footprints which is four to five inches in diameter

Bigfoot in the Piney Woods

 

First hand account in East Texas piney woods.

This encounter taks place roughly 24 miles from Lufkin off hwy 103 in 1996

My wife and I set out for  an overnight camping trip in the country. I go hiking and camping fairly often and my wife sometimes accompanies me on my outings. This time we went about 30 miles southeast from where we live, in Nacogdoches to some remote family-owned land.

 Our land is on a small blacktop county road and few people live there. Only one neighbor lives close by, an old woman across the road. The road parallels Sam Rayburn reservoir for several miles and is a short distance from it at this point. It was late afternoon when we arrived there. Wildlife are plentiful in this area, with deer, bobcat, hogs, etc. and since I occasionally would hunt deer there, I put out some corn for them to get ready for season and then we set up our camp. We have a small storage building that family and friends use to sleep in on our hunting and camping outings. After we were set up for the night, I started a fire about five yards away from the building to roast hot dogs on. It was beginning to get dark at this time. We have a camcorder that we always take on our trips and I filmed the outing. 

I remembered that as it had gotten dark, dogs could be heard across the nearby road, barking like crazy. Up to this point I filmed everything, but since I was getting hungry, I stopped to make me some supper.

 My wife was sitting down on a makeshift chair and I was at the fire. Suddenly, a loud howl, or hoot came from a nearby creekbottom, a distance of about 70 yards. The sound is best described as a "WOO-WAAH" sound. It was very loud and sounded almost baboon-like, but also much like a human's vocal chords. We were both shocked by the piercing sound, but before we could react, whatever it was came to within approximately 8 yards and screamed again. My wife jumped from her chair sideways and ran to the shed spraining her ankle in the process. 

I didn't know what the sounds were, but I am sure they were NOT deer, hogs or hoot owls, or anything else that I have EVER heard. I could not be sure if it was not some prankster, although someone would risk getting shot coming to a person's camp at night like that. I ran to the shed to get my pistol which I always carry on our outings, all the while the "animal" screamed the same sound in rapid succession, about 7 times in all.The sound emanated from behind a pile of tree limbs placed there on previous outings.

 I went to the edge of our camp and shined my flashlight into and around the pile and held my pistol ready, but no more sounds were heard. I couldn't see any eyes shining in my flashlight beam either. Even though we were a little unnerved by the event, I planned to go ahead and make our beds for the night, but my wife's ankle was beginning to swell and she was in pain, so we packed our things and went back home. I have gone back a few times since then, but have not noticed anything strange. So if it wasn't a bigfoot, fine I just don't really know what it was. All the experienced outdoorsmen I have talked to about the sounds say they have never heard anything like them either.

The two decided to leave the area after hearing the unsettling vocalizations and realizing that the wife’s ankle was quite possibly sprained. The wife remarked that she has not returned to the site since, nor will she ever go back in the future.

TEXAS Bigfoot sightings 

Bigfoot in the Angelina national forest.

                 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳👣🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Two men doing seismic drilling in the in the Angelina national forest have a Bigfoot encounter in 1979.

The two men had been drilling seismic holes at one eighth of a mile intervals in a straight line. They had turned off the equipment and were sitting on their machines taking a break.

Untill they noticed that the forest had become unnaturally quiet. His description was this: “It became so quiet you could hear your cigarette burning.” the witness claimed.

Movement caught his eye as the creature stood up. He briefly saw its profile before it turned and moved silently off in a relaxed pace from left to right. It took four or five steps and was gone into the ravine. He was immediately struck by the way its long arms swung. In that instant he realized it was not a bear he was observing.

The body was stocky and quite muscular. It was broad shouldered with a very large chest. It did not taper at the waist but remained thick and solid with an estimated weigh of 400lbs. It was solidly covered with four or five inch, long reddish brown hair with the exception of the facial area where the hair was sparse. Its height was 6 feet or taller.

The witness had the impression that it had been watching them and was curious about the noisy machine they were running. At no time did he feel threatened or scared.

The 153,179-acre Angelina National Forest is located in Angelina, Nacogdoches, San Augustine and Jasper counties. The forest lies in the Neches River Basin and on the north and south shores of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, an 114,500-acre lake.

One of the witnesses statement..

 I was doing seismic, drilling in the Angelina National forest for several weeks. Late one afternoon, in a opening, we decided to stop and take a break, on the upper end of an open area in the thick woods. It was quiet, when I saw something, large and dark brownish, stand up and walk away from me. It was approx; 100 yards away. 

It walked 20 to 50 feet then descended into a ravine, it looked to go down on all four legs as it went into the ravine then it was gone. 

I thought it was a bear, but chances of seeing a bear in 1979, would be slim.This animal walked on two legs. This only lasted for just a few seconds,10 maybe. I turned to my coworker and asked, "Did you see that? he said yes, and what the bleep was that?" I have thought about this for several years and in my mind's eye I can still see the animal walking away from me to this day, 30 years later.

Bigfoot in the Big Thicket

There have been several Bigfoot sightings in the Texas Big Thicket and Sam Houston National Forest

This sightings takes place June 22,2014 in the early morning, an eyewitness claimed to to see what could only be described as a large male sasquatch.

First hand account....

 I was on my way to my work yard in New Caney Texas. It was very cloudy that morning with heavy dew rising. I was driving the speed limit 35mph looking for local wildlife like I do every morning. I might add this area is thickly wooded, but also is dotted with many homes. The area is also close to the river. I noticed a very tall shadowy figure approaching a group of cows with a calf. It was at least 8 to 9' tall and about 48 to 50" wide at the shoulders. I slowed down as much as possible. It saw my brake lights and turned to look at me. I am a good judge of distance for I am a bow hunter and I estimated it to be 45 to 50 yards away. It had a long sloping forehead and very defined brow ridge. I could not tell what color its hair was but I noticed a long beard and its arms hung down to almost his knees. I struggled to get my phone out to take a picture by the time I got it out it turned and walked into the woods. I think it might have been going for the calf. There are many water sources in that area and abundant wildlife in those woods. 

The sighting location was a cleared out pine forest that had been turned into pasture for cows. Very close to a major river water source, the San Jacinto river. Many stock ponds and private ponds can also be found in this area.

Follow up statement/claim.

Witness said the creature stood entirely upright and was not crouching or bent over. The creature's hands were straight down, hanging to about its knees. He describes the creature's hands as huge, "large enough to palm a watermelon". He assumed the creature was male due to its enormous size and lack of female anatomy.

The head was huge, with a sloping forehead and a broad, pronounced brow. Nothing particular was mentioned about the eyes and there was no visible neck, just head atop massive shoulders. 

The creature was almost entirely one dark color - like blackish - and very hairy. The only area that was not covered in thick black hair was the chest area... That area was either a lighter color hair or the hair was thinner, exposing more skin.

A unique observation was that the creature had a distinct beard. It was the same color as the rest of the hair, started just below the cheeks and extended to the chest area. described as very distinct and scraggly.

He said the creature seemed to notice him when he applied the brakes. The witness feels the creature saw the bright LED brake lights. It watched the witness as he pulled to a stop, then calmly turned and walked back in the other direction. The witness made a point of saying it walked calmly, did not run, in casual, long strides. It walked near a farm house and disappeared into the woods behind it without turning around again.

Interestingly, the cows never seemed alarmed or afraid.

The witness was unable to follow on foot because it was private property clearly marked as no trespass.

The sighting area described as being surrounded by ripe, seeding, wild sunflower plants. After a brief time, the witness drove the short distance to work, but said he didn't tell his coworkers as "things like this might be embarrassing".

Scottish Myth: The Blue Men of Minch.

 

 

 

 

The turbulent waters between Scotland and the Isle of Lewis  is called The Minch and like many large bodies of water, there are legends of otherworldly creatures lurking below it's depths.

The strait between the Island of Lewis and the Shiant Isles was known in the 19th century as ‘the stream of the Blue Men

They are a personification of the unpredictable and dangerous waters they inhabit.

The Blue Men of Minch are blue skinned men  similar to mermaids with tails and webbed hands. Also known as storm kelpies, they can use their powers to create storms to capsize ships and drown sailors. 

 

 

                                                                         The Shiant Isles  

The Blue Men are the source of many sea shanties.

Poetry was the primary form of defense against them. The chief "Blue Man" would recite two lines of poetry, and the captain of the ship would have to complete it to stop the attack.

 

They live in underwater caves in a clan system, while generations of folklore say they can only be beaten by making sure you get the last word in a rhyming duel.

Old legends claim that many Ship Captains escaped a watery fate thanks  the sharpness of his tongue, while those less fortunate are left to perish in the cold and raging waters common to the region.

However, innocent fishermen who have done nothing to anger the Sea Kelpies will be allowed pass through the area safely.

While they  sleep  the weather would remain calm but they could create storms whenever they wished too do so especially when angered.

 

 

The Blue Men can also help the locals, with a Samhain or Halloween tradition involving the lighting of a candle by the sea.

Ale is then poured into the water in order to encourage the Blue Men to leave seaweed on the beach as fertilizer

Physically they  are the same size as an average  human , but their strength if far greater then a normal man.

They wear a blue cap's on their head  and have grey faces which often  appear above the waves when they are surveying the seas.

 

 In summer weather they skim the waved just below the surface but when the wind is high they revel in the storm and swim with heads erect, splashing the waters with delight. Sometimes they are seen floating from the waist out to sea, and sometimes turning round like porpoises when they dive.”

 

 

 

 

 

Scotland's Deadly Giant Serpent: The Beithir

 

The beithir is a large deadly serpent, possible even a wingless dragon with a poisonous sting.

🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

It lives in  caves and valleys.


 If a person is stung by the beithir then he must head for the closest  river or loch. If he can reach it before the beithir does then he is cured, but if the monster reaches it first then the victim is doomed. Another cure for the sting is water in which the head of another snake has been placed. 

The beithir is considered one of the fuath, a general term for various monsters and spirits associated with water.

 

Fuath (plural fuathan, meaning “hate” in Scottish Gaelic) refers to a type of evil water spirits in Highland Gaelic mythology. These spirits are believed to inhabit the sea, rivers, lakes, and sea lochs of Scotland and Ireland.

In Gaelic folklore, any being that frequently changes its shape is of evil origin. The case of the Fuath confirms such thinking. A Fuath can sometimes be seen, if it chooses to take on a physical appearance. Most fuathan have the power of transforming themselves in many things even angels of light. They use this power to trick their victims but they are generally found out in the long run. Most often, they present themselves as humanoid creatures, with green skin and the mane and tail of a yellow horse.

 

Its the  largest and most deadly kind of serpent", or possibly  a type of land dragon (but without certain typical draconic features like wings or fiery breath). similar to a lindworm (worm meaning snake), also spelled lindwyrm or lindwurm, is a mythical creature in Northern and Central European folklore that traditionally has the shape of a giant serpent monster living deep in the forest lindworm (worm meaning snake), also spelled lindwyrm or lindwurm,  a mythical creature in Northern and Central European folklore in the shape of a giant serpent living in the forest

 

It makes its home in large mountainous caves and (valleys)  and has an extremely  venomous sting. 

 

If a person is stung by the beithir then they need head for the nearest body of water like as a river or loch. If they can reach it before the beithir does then they are cured, but if the creature gets there first then the victim is will die.

 Another cure for the sting is water in which the head of another snake has been placed.

A common belief is that if a normal snake is killed then the head must be separated a proper distance from its body and destroyed. Otherwise, both parts will come together and the snake will return to life as a beithir. 

 

John Gregorson Campbell in 1900 provided an account of the beithir:

The big beast of Scanlastle in Islay was one of this kind. It devoured seven horses on its way to Loch-in-daal. A ship was lying at anchor in the loch at the time, and a line of barrels filled with deadly spikes, and with pieces of flesh laid upon them, was placed from the shore to the ship. Tempted by the flesh, the "loathly worm" made its way out on the barrels and was killed by the spikes and cannon

 

 

                                                                   Loch-in-daal

 

 

John Francis Campbell in 1890 recounted a traditional story about a wicked stepmother who was the wife of an Irish king, and she gave the king's son a magic shirt that was a beithir in disguise. As long as the "great snake" remained coiled about his neck, the prince was under his stepmother's enchantment, but he was eventually freed from the beithir with the help of a wise woman.

This Serpent is most often sighted on summer nights when lightning strikes occurred

Tha e ann an grath na nathrach dhuit.'

'Tha nimh na nathrach aig dhuit.'

'Cho carach ris an nathair nimhe.'

'Cleas na nathrach cur a chraicinn.'

'Cochull nathrach is ole a dh’fheumadh tu.'

He is in the spirit of the serpent towards thee.

The venom of the serpent he has towards thee.

As twistful as the serpent venomous.

The trick of the serpent changing the skin.

The sheath of the serpent badly wouldst thou need    

 

 

 

Tha sinne 'cur mar choran 's mar gheasan ort,

Gu 'n innis thu, co thu fhein na co do mhuinntir ?

'S mise nighean righ na Sorchann,

Sgiath an ainn ;

'S gur h-e 's ainm dha 'm Baoidhre borb ;

'S gu 'n d' thoir e mise leis,

Cia mor bhur treis as an Fheinn.

Cia b' fhada 'n oidhche gu latha,

Cha bu ghna leinn 'bbith gun cheol.

We lay it as a circuit and as spells on thee.

That thou tell us who thou art, or thy people.

I am the daughter of the king of Sorchann,

Shield of armies,

And that his name is Baoidhre borb,*

And that he will take me with him.

Though great our time from the Fane,

Though long be the night to day,

It was not our wont to be without music.     .
