Real Life Zombie Apocalypse?

How It Could Happen

By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher

If you’re thinking the zombie apocalypse is simply the stuff of fiction horror movies and doesn’t need to be taken seriously, think again. The United States government Center For Disease Control has a web page dedicated to telling citizens how to survive it, and more interesting yet, history suggests it’s happened before. (Link: CDC Zombies Info )

Archaeologists in Europe and the Middle East have recently unearthed evidence of a stone age culture of humans in which violently smashing the skulls of corpses was an accepted practice. And possibly considered a necessary one for some reason. A reason that isn’t yet clear, but it’s believed they felt they had some cause to believe the dead posed some kind of threat to the living. For some reason, they believed it was necessary to smash the skulls of the corpses, separate them from the body, and bury them somewhere else apart from the body. And based on other scientific studies of similar practices in ancient cultures, this was often to stop the dead from becoming some kind of danger.

Curiously the skulls were the skulls of males 18-30 of which the bodies had already begun to decompose. They had been smashed in a rather unceremonious fashion, like with a rock or something similar, and unglamorously removed from the spines. It was said that no trace of any "delicate cutting" was found on the bodies. This wasn’t neatly done. It’s almost like they were indifferent to these dead individuals. But the question is why.

Surely a scientific explanation will come in time. But for now, it raises a lot of questions of whether or not the ancients experienced some kind of unique "problem" with their dead.

And what about today? Why should we even entertain the idea of such a thing now?

I could go into a whole long scientific explanation, but the movie I Am Legend with Will Smith back in 2007 said it best.

In this sure-to-be future cult classic, Smith plays a scientist who just happens to be the last man on earth, struggling to survive on his own in post-apocalyptic New York City. The rest of the human race left has been infected by a horrible "vampiric" virus. An ultimately fatal superbug that leaves no trace of it original human to be recognized. A disease that, to me, is reminiscent of a mutated strain of rabies. Like rabies on steroids.

Smith’s character, Robert Neville, lives and searches for food, supplies, and a cure for this disease by day, but by night must hunker down in his own home on super lockdown as these voracious killer beings wander the streets of the city. A large population of a kind of walking dead of sorts.

Yes, it’s just a movie. But modern medicine suggests the implications are conceivable in exactly the right conditions. Something like this could conceivably happen.

So maybe the government has it right (this time). And maybe we should pay closer attention and not laugh it off. ******DF

The Disappointments of Bigfoot

2013-05-22T10:00:00.000-07:00

Never Disappoint Bongo!

Over the last few months there has been many disappointments for the bigfoot community.

Ketchum DNA Study -
First lets look at the Dr. Ketchum DNA Study. A 5 year study with over 100 reported DNA samples from bigfoots. The study finally published in what some are calling Self Publishing. This only fueled the controversy over the study. The unknown part of the DNA was labeled as "Angel DNA" by some and was quickly tied to the Nelphlim, which links to the Bible. This was a target for many people, seeing that the bigfoot community has a large number of people who do not believe in God or the Bible, the attack was on.
Many scientist ripped the study and didn't support it, but a few scientist came out and supported the 5 year study and the published results. In the end you must ask yourself one question about this bigfoot DNA study, "Did the results of the DNA study prove or convince anyone, who did not already believe in bigfoot, that bigfoot is a real creature?" To me that answer is No. Please don't get me wrong, I think there were many good and real bigfoot DNA samples in the study but it appears they have been wasted at this point.
I was glad about the bigfoot DNA study and had some hope for it, but in the end it was a disappointment for me and many in the bigfoot community. I do support the efforts of DNA study and hope that some good comes from all of it.
Genome Link: Sasquatch Genome

The Erickson Project Videos -
One can not talk about the Ketchum DNA study without bringing up the Erickson Project. This was said to be directly related to the DNA study and have a pending release of HD footage videos of bigfoot. While the publishing of the Ketchum paper did bring about the release of a small clip of a sleeping bigfoot named Matilda it was quickly attacked by skeptics and critics. The Footage which appears below was later said to be a worked up Chewbacca mask.

Later some photos were leaked of Matilda and that only added fuel to the Chewbacca Mask theory.

The Erickson people have kept an extremely low profile over these last months. There are rumored to be many HD quality videos of bigfoot in their project. Why has nothing been released is a valid question. I still hold out some hope that at some point the videos will be released but so far disappointment has taken center stage.

The Justin Smeja Story -
If you have not heard of this one, here it is in a nut shell. Smeja and a buddy was out hunting and he killed two bigfoots, one of which was a child bigfoot.
When I first got some of the details about this story I thought it could be real. Smeja is a very experienced hunter and he seems like a pretty nice guy, but did he shoot 2 bigfoot remains to be proven.
Some DNA samples from this reported event was also included in the Ketchum DNA study and was confirmed to be from bigfoot, but later another sample was sent to a different lab and the results came back a bear and human. So what is one to believe? There are rumors of some infighting between Smeja and Ketchum, could this have anything to do with it?
Smeja did passed a lie detector test, but this was quickly met with doubts by believers and skeptics alike due to how it all came about. I personally don't have much of an opinion about the lie detector part as they can be fooled and passed and are not even allowed in some court cases depending on the state.
In the end no real proof this event happened has been presented in a way to really prove it was real.

Daisy in a Box Story -
This was the wildest most far fetched story to come down the pipe. Here was a elite secret unit of well trained sasquatch hunters, who managed to capture a live bigfoot. The only thing was there was no photos released and all the details were pretty vague. This was all started by a few post made on a forum and it grew it's own legs and started to run. This story was on almost every bigfoot blog and forum on the internet. In the end it turned out to be nothing more than a hoax. I personal was not disappointed in the story as I never believe it in the first place.
Extra Reading: Bigfoot Captured, Russian captured Bigfoot

The Tent Video -
I know everyone has heard about this story. Rick Dyer reportedly killed a bigfoot in San Antonio, TX. When I first got into this story I thought it could have been real but later on the story changed a little so I backed away from it as something just didn't seem right.
Several people backed the story (some still do) and a few confirmed that Dyer had a real bigfoot body. As of today there has been no body shown to the public. The movie that came out about this event was called "Shooting Bigfoot" and after the showing many people were disappointed by the ending. The ending of the film you get to see a bigfoot type creature for about 3 seconds and you hear some gun fire but that's it. You never see the body in the film.
What this story managed to do was get the infighting to an all time high with many personal attacks in every corner of the bigfoot world.
In the end there is still no proof that Dyer has a bigfoot body. The best evidence to support this story is the Tent Video itself. It is a good video and has not officially been debunked (I guess) but there have been some reports that it is one of Dyer's friends (A large black man) dressed up or maybe in front of a green screen. There has been a ton of videos surrounding this story, I have made several myself, but in the end the body still has not been shown. The new target date for the showing of the body is said to be in August, this according to Dyer.
In the end this appears to be nothing more than a well rehearsed hoax. I invite everyone to do some research yourself and view the massive amounts of info about this story and make up your own mind.

Here is a enhanced still frame from the Tent Video

Hunter Killed a Bigfoot -
This is/was a new "I shot bigfoot" story and it even had a police report, but the real story was that no where in the 911 dispatch or police report did it involve a dead or shot bigfoot. All the man said was he had proof of bigfoot and his proof turned out to be nothing more than some bear tracks.
So what fueled this story? well it seem a few bigfoot blog sites pushed it as a hunter killing a bigfoot, I'm not sure who or where they got the info but once a story like that gets out it grows on it's own.

Here is the 911 call

So as you can see disappointment in the bigfoot community has been coming a lot the last several months but don't let it get you down. This is not all of the disappointing stories, there are plenty more and I expect more to come in the future. I didn't even cover all the stump photos that are reported to be bigfoot.
These type of stories seem to do more harm to the bigfoot community as a whole than good. The infighting and the name calling has really went overboard the last year. This type of thing really takes away from people who are really trying to do honest research. It seems the wild stories and claims get a lot of attention but I guess that is the point.
2013 was said to be the year of bigfoot but so far it has turned out to be mostly disappointing. Sometimes life in general has disappointing moments but you can't give up, you just got to keep moving forward.

Hopefully the rest of the year will be filled with some good and true bigfoot stories. So lets just keep on squatchin'. (yeah I hate that word)
Have a great Summer!

Pizza Shop Ghost

2013-05-21T17:42:00.003-07:00

On 4/22/2007 the fire department was dispatched to a local pizza shop with a reported fire.
Sure enough the pizza shop was on fire. Someone snapped a photo.

Pizza shop on fire.

If you will notice it appears to be ghostly looking figure walking behind the van on the left.

Here is a couple enhancements of the photo

Could this be ghostly images of victims of the fire? or is it just some kind of camera error?
I don't know if anyone even died in the fire or not but it does appear to be legs walking behind the van. I also do not know where this photo was taken.
What do you think?

Thanks

UFO Researchers Meet with Ministry of Defense

2013-05-21T17:05:00.000-07:00

Members of the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers was invited by the Ministry of Defense in Brazil to a formal meeting with Brazilian armed forces members. The meeting was scheduled on April 18, 2013 at the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense. It featured officers from Brazilian Army, Navy and Air Force.

The discussion focused on the access of UFO-related documents under the military custody. Brazilian government has already declassified more than 4,500 documents but some documents on the more popular cases are not yet released including the Trindade Island sightings, Mearim covertte event and Varginha Case.

Ari Matos, who is the secretary for the Institutional Coordination and Organization of the ministry, reassured the group that all procedures in releasing the documents will be in accordance to Access to Information Act of Brazil or popularly known as LAI.

The meeting which lasted for approximately 75 minutes seemed to bring positive results as everyone involved appeared to be satisfied. According to Brazilian UFO Magazine editor, A.J. Gevaerd, it was the first time in the history of the country that a Ministry of Defense invited UFO researchers to talk about the UFO phenomena and the protocol to be observed in handling its investigation and the information that may come from it.

Another Ufologist in the meeting, Fernando Aragao Ramalho of UFO Magazine, also pleased with the meeting and considered the day as one of the major event in the history of Ufology.

The meeting was in response to a petition that asked the Brazilian government to declassify all UFO documents from their UFO investigations and take UFO sightings seriously. The petition was sponsored by the Brazilian UFO Magazine and created during a Brazilian UFO conference in December 2012 with signatures from the 30 speakers at the conference. The conference represented 15 different countries and had more than 600 attendees.

Know Your Cryptids - The Ahool

2013-05-20T10:27:00.001-07:00

The Ahool is a flying cryptid and is reportedly a very bat like creature but some say it is more like a flying primate. The connection to primates could be due to how the head and face has been described as looking like a monkey. The Ahool lives in the rainforest of Java, Java is a island in Indonesia.

The Ahool is named after the sound it reportedly makes, which is reportedly a cooing type sound.

The Ahool is described as having dark eyes, large claws on it's forearms, covered in fur and a 10-12 foot wingspan.

Many think this unknown creature could actually be a large brown wood owl or an undiscovered bat of some sort. The wood owl might explain some of the cooing sounds, as they are similar, but the size would not be big enough, I don't think. So that leaves us with the bat theory, the largest bat is the fruit bat, also sometimes called flying foxes, they can grow to around 20-22 inches in length and have a wingspan of about 6 foot. So if the tales about the Ahool are true, then the fruit bat is undersized as well. It could be a case of embellishment causing the size of the creature to grow, sometimes things seem larger if you are frightened and surprised. Plus one should consider that this could very well be an as of yet undiscovered creature.

Fruit bat

Name: Ahool

Description: Flying Bat type creature

Is this a REAL Bigfoot!

2013-05-19T21:54:00.000-07:00

The Photo above was post to facebook by Thom Cantrall - It appears to be a picture of a bigfoot.
I noticed several other people where sharing the photo, so I thought I'd take a closer look at it. If Thom does not approve of this and wants me to take it down all he has to do is send me a message.
I have attempted to zoom in on the figure and have used various effects to get a better look at it.

I find the photo very interesting but do not know anything about it. I do not even know where it was take or the story. I do know Thom is a good guy and this photo is possibly a real bigfoot.
A big Thanks goes to Thom Cantrall for sharing the photo.

UPDATE: Thanks to Candy over at Sasquatch Canada we now have more information about this photo. The photo was original posted by a Kris Friesen from Winnipeg. The picture was sent to him by a friend that took the picture up in northern Manitoba, a secluded area near a native reserve.
Hopefully more info will become available.

Thanks

Expect us Mystery of 5/19/13

2013-05-18T08:18:00.000-07:00

Today I was made aware of the Expect US website and the mystery surrounding it. I would guess the biggest mystery is just who is US?
Some are tying this to a possible terror attack in the vain of 9/11 while others are thinking along the lines of Aliens and some are saying it will be the Rapture or the retuning of Christ. I think we can rule out the returning of Christ because the bible say that "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matt.24:36)

I personally don't know what this mystery is all about and I'm a very late viewer of the website and the mystery about it. The photo above is a screen grab of the website, the website has a count down timer running on it and a eerie image in the background.
here is a lightened version of the screen grab.

I also did some digging on the domain name of this site and here is some of that info.

Domain Name: 05-19-13.com

   Registrant Contact:
      05-19-13.com Private Registrant         05-19-13.com@proxy.dreamhost.com

Record created on 2010-08-02 08:28:32.
   Record expires on 2013-08-02 08:28:32.

You can find out a little more info - http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=05-19-13.com

As you can see above this website domain name was purchased in 2010, so it appears this mystery has been in the works for a few years now.

There has been a lot of UFO/Alien stuff going on, like the Citizens hearing on Disclosure, so could it be something about ETs and UFOs? Maybe.

Here is a video about the "Expect US" website

There is also some talk of a "Signal" or "The Signal" being broadcast starting on 5/19/13 on the 5/19/13 website. It is also my understanding that several websites have been threatened by "Anonymous" to take down their websites.

So there you have it, this was only going to be a short post but as I dug it grew.
Just what is all this 5/19/13 mystery stuff about I'm not sure but it could be anything from Aliens to a website launch. I guess we will know tomorrow.

UPDATE: I have ran across a 5/19/13 Facebook page, it was created back in Sept. of 2010
https://www.facebook.com/pages/51913-Expect-Us/144971955541617
There are some new signs pointing to a cyber attack on banks but it is still anybody's guess to what will really happen if anything.

Thanks

Legend Proven True!

Sometimes Legends Are Proven True

Maori Legend Of The Man-Eating Bird

By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher

I’m always amazed to listen to people that don’t believe in cryptids of any kind at all. Skeptics claim that they don’t believe simply because the creatures in question haven’t yet been proven by science. Does this mean they absolutely don’t exist? No it doesn’t. Science just hasn’t found them yet. But many legends are proven true. Gorillas, okapis, coelacanths, and giant pandas were all cryptids at one time. The stuff of legend and folklore.

So why do skeptics still keep insisting certain creatures don’t exist?

Case in point: The Maori legend of the man-eating bird has recently been proven true. Te Hakioi, a giant raptor, described in early accounts and depicted on ancient rock drawings as a black and white hawk-like bird, with a red crest, and green-tipped wings has now been confirmed by science in The Journal Of Vertebrate Paleontology.

Also known as Haast's eagle (Harpagornis moorei), discovered in the 1870’s by Sir Julius Von Haast, it was originally believed to be a scavenger because its beak resembled modern scavenging birds like vultures. But scientist recently re-evaluated some of those findings with modern technology gleaned a different result.

These birds, said to be larger than Stellar’s sea eagle, the largest living eagle on earth, had a 9 foot wingspan and weighing nearly 40 lbs. were found to have had the pelvic support to deliver a diving blow to fairly large prey, with their diving speed reaching up to 50 mph. It was said to have claws the size of a tiger, and had the ability to strike and close its talons around its prey just like any modern eagle. Large and strong enough to carry away a small child as the legends suggested.

A true monster of the skies has been proven real. The rest of the so-called cryptids are still waiting for science to prove them. **********DF

Pennsylvania Bigfoot Shooting - Report

2013-05-16T23:49:00.001-07:00

The Police Audio
(Please notice the man claims to have proof of bigfoot and not a dead bigfoot, His "proof" was tracks)

(Nice work by PBS - click their link at the bottom of the post)
PBS: Summary Report on Alleged Pennsylvania Bigfoot Shooting Case 5-16-2013

Primary Investigators

Stan Gordon-- Independent Bigfoot and UFO Researcher
Ron Gallucci-- Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society member
Eric Altman-- Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society Director

Case summary:

On May 14, 2013 at 2:41 pm,

The PA Bigfoot Society received its first email in regards to the case:

The email read "Today in Somerset county PA a turkey hunter shot and killed an animal he claimed is a Sasquatch. The state police were called and responded to the scene, according to chatter on the local police frequencies the officers confirmed there was an unidentified animal shot and killed. Details are a bit fuzzy at this time. Any investigative assistance would be appreciated."

May 14, 2013 at 3:20 pm.

The Pa Bigfoot Society received a second email. This one had a name and contact phone number attached. The email read "Hello, YES this is legit, a strange report came over the scanner here in Somerset, Pa. just a few miles from Flight 93memorial. The message went to the local Police department. The report stated that a hunter had shot a Sasquatch while hunting turkey this morning. This is the first day of Spring Turkey in Pennsylvania. Later a second confirmation message on the scanner stated that yes there was a body but was unable to identify who or what it was. This all started about 10:30 AM and continued through most of the day. The location was stated as Russell or Rustic Road (too fast to be sure) here in the local area of Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Just wanted to let someone know."

Both emails were then forwarded off to PBS investigator Ron Gallucci because he is a nearby resident and closest to the area. The emails were also forwarded off to long time UFO/Bigfoot researcher Stan Gordon.

Both Stan and Ron made contact with the author of the second email.

Stan reported he contacted the email author and amateur radio (ham) operator who had made contact with the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society concerning the police radio transmission. From him Stan learned that the radio chatter in question had actually been heard by his friend who is another ham operator. Soon after, Stan talked with that man directly and learned some additional details.

The person who heard the transmission has a public safety scanner radio, better known as a police scanner, which is programmed to receive the Somerset County Public Safety radio transmissions that would include police, fire, and EMS. The radio transmission was broadcast over the scanner, and not over ham radio equipment. The man stated that he had heard a radio transmission come across a county police frequency.

The man stated he heard the Somerset County Dispatch Center contacting an area police department, but he was unsure as to what municipality it was. What he said he heard was that a hunter had called and stated that he had shot a Bigfoot. He soon heard some radio chatter from police who were reportedly joking about the report. It was about 20 minutes later that he said he heard a police officer radio back and state, "there was a body." He said the next radio transmission to the officer was, "call the center."

The witness also mentioned to Stan that soon after he heard the sound of what appeared to be a large helicopter near his house. The sound was so loud it shook his house, so he went outside to take a look. It was then that he observed a formation of four Army Apache helicopters approaching from the north and moving in the direction of Somerset. The man frequently sees such helicopters flying around that general area, but he thought the timing was interesting since the choppers were moving toward the direction of the location where the report of a Bigfoot had allegedly been shot just a short time before.

A True Monster

2013-05-16T07:34:00.000-07:00

A foot long Skull with 700 razor sharp teeth, does that qualify as a Monster?
This monster was found in Oxfordshire and it is the biggest pike ever found in Britain.
The skull was 9 inches wide.

The grisly fish carcass was found in the undergrowth next to the River Cherwell by farmer Peter Money.

Here is a photo of a Northern Pike

Underwater UFO and Alien Beings

2013-05-15T13:10:00.000-07:00

Lt. Col. Richard French, a 29 1/2 year veteran of the US Air Force describes an encounter where he came upon a down UFO that was underwater and the beings who were working on the ship.

If you are like me and have not really kept up with the Citizen Hearing on UFO disclosure then you might want to catch up by Clicking Here.

I don't really know if anything will come from all of this but at least we are getting some good testimony from very creditable witnesses. Most of the sightings and encounters being told about I have never heard.

Beacon Bigfoot Video

2013-05-15T08:04:00.000-07:00

Bigfoot Catching a fish?

Here is what was posted about this video:
"My husband filmed this by Fishkill Creek by Mount Beacon. He lost track of where it went and kept filming for about 45 minutes. He returned there a few more times with no luck."

I have taken a still frame from the video and attempted to enhance it. This "bigfoot" appears to be wearing shoes. You can decide for yourself.

Overall the appearance of the bigfoot looks pretty good but it does appear to be wearing shoes.
I have seen a few other videos that look an awful lot like this creature.
In my opinion this is a fake video but the fish catching is pretty cool. I think under the right filming angle this would fool a lot of people.

Thanks

Your Chance to Live on Mars!

2013-05-09T13:35:00.000-07:00

Move to Mars!

So, have you ever thought about moving to Mars or what it would be like to visit the Red Planet in Person? Well Good News! Apparently you're not alone.
According to Mars One, In the last two weeks there has been over 78,000 people who have filled out an application to move to Mars for ever and never return.

Mars one is a Dutch company, that just recently started accepting applications to move to Mars.
The applicants are helping fund the mission via a small fee based on where the applicant lives. For example someone living in the United States has to be a fee of $38.

Not only that but there will be a reality show where people can vote for who will be moving to Mars forever. I know some people I hope are on the show.
In any case, the last stage of the process will come down to 24-40 people and the viewing audience will get to follow them as they receive their training and as the show goes on the audience will get to vote on who will be the first settlers on Mars.

The show is planned to be a long running, global reality show that will continue to help fund the missions to Mars. There is a plan in place that will bring more settlers and supplies over the coming years. The goal is to have at least 20 settlers by the year 2033.
The first departure to Mars is planed for 2022, it will take about 7 months to land on the red planet, which according to the deployment date, will make it sometime in 2023.

The colony as it is expected to look in 2015 - with four astronauts arriving every two years on the one-way mission

Bas Lansdorp, Co-founder of Mars one, said "With 78,000 applications in two weeks, this is turning out to be the most desired job in history, These numbers put us right on track for our goal of half a million applicants."

Norbert Kraft, former NASA researcher and current medical director at Mars One said "
Gone are the days when bravery and the number of hours flying a supersonic jet were the top criteria for selection. Now, we are more concerned with how well each astronaut works and lives with the others – and for a lifetime of challenges ahead"

The Beautiful and Mysterious Cumberland Falls

2013-05-08T21:27:00.000-07:00

The Beautiful Cumberland Falls!
Cumberland Falls has been featured in 3 movies: The Kentuckian with Burt Lancaster, Raintree County with Elizabeth Taylor and Fire Down Below with Steven Seagal.
Cumberland Falls is located within the Daniel Boone National Forest in Southeast Kentucky.
The water fall itself is about 125 foot wide and has about a 65 foot drop. Sometimes Cumberland Falls is called "Little Niagara" but this Falls has something Niagara Falls does not have and that is a Moon Bow. A moon bow or lunar rainbow is a rare thing and can only be found in a few places in the whole world and can only be seen with the right conditions.

Moonbow Dates:
May - 22,23,24,25,26,27 June - 20,21,22,23,24,25
For more Dates Click Here!

This place of beauty is also home to some paranormal activity and stories. One being "The Bride of Cumberland Falls" and/or the haunted Dupont Lodge.
There are slightly varying stories about the Bride of Cumberland falls but here is the basics of the tale.

Dupont Lodge
The story dates back into the 1950's, The story is of a Bride and Groom that came to Cumberland Falls State Park for their Honeymoon.
The couple was staying at Dupont lodge. Before leaving the falls they wanted to have their photos taken with the falls in the background. The couple found an overlook just a few hundred feet from the falls that would work great for the photo. As the Bride stood on the Pillars at the edge of the 75 to 80 foot cliff, the Bride lost her balance and fell to her death.
-----------

Cumberland Falls has been listed as one of the top haunted places in Kentucky.
I have read several reports from visitors and people who worked at the Park, including some of the park rangers who worked around the Falls and many report seeing the ghost bride and other weird things. Some the other reports told of the ghost bride tripping people or messing up rooms that were just cleaned up. There are even some report of seeing old civil war type soldiers.

Here is a possible photo of the Ghost Bride

Notice the human shaped figure on the upper right

While there is many ghost tales from the Falls, I personally have not seen anything there and I have been to the Falls on a few trips as it's close to me. I do remember some other strange tales from Cumberland Falls. Many of you may have heard this before or remember hearing your family and friends talk about it.
Well as I remember, when I was a kid, around 10-12 years old, there was some stories about a person or people falling off the falls. This resulted in a massive search to recover the bodies and at one point a team of divers was used to swim under the falls and look for the bodies. The story that was told was that the divers came out of the water pretty quickly and were really shaken up and telling people that if anyone fell over the Falls that they are gone because there were catfish down there that were as big as a Volkswagen. They went on to say that these giant catfish were easily big enough to swallow a man whole. The divers also refused to go back in the water and look for the missing people.

Cumberland Falls State Park is a great place to visit, it has plenty of forest to explore and look for bigfoot, it has the Ghost Bride to investigate, it has monster sized catfish to catch but if none of that is your thing, then the Cumberland Falls is still a beautiful place to spend a weekend hiking, boating, fishing or just to enjoy the out doors and relax.
Click Cumberland Falls!! to find out more!

There are many more tales of strange sightings and odd happenings in and around this area, I have only scratched the surface.
If anyone has a tale to share or some photos, feel free to send them to me at thecryptocrew@kih.net

Thanks

Juvenile Bigfoot Video - Enhancement

2013-05-07T09:04:00.000-07:00

This video was originally uploaded by Joseph Fobister. It was titled as a juvenile bigfoot in grassy Narrows. I have attempted to enhance the video to see the figure better. You can decide for yourself if you think it is a real bigfoot on not.
I was first alerted to this video by TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher.(Thanks)
Thanks

The Nature Of Nightmares

The Nature Of Nightmares

The Truth Behind Our Bad Dreams

By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher

Dreams are curious things. And they always seem to be more prominent when we have things going

on in our lives. Triumphs, tragedies, death, disaster, joy, fear, and pain seem to bring the old

unconscious mind into the active phase. And that’s when our dreams come to the forefront.

We all have a sense of inner knowing. Deep inside we know everything about ourselves, but we don’t always acknowledge it all. In dealing with events of our everyday lives, the seemingly less important things are ignored...until they become a problem. This is when nightmares can occur.

Our unconscious mind is where we store all the stuff we don’t want to deal with or aren’t quite ready to deal with. And all those unconscious thoughts can pile up and overload. And when that happens, they start pushing their way out into the conscious mind. And, without knowing why, we may be faced with emotional problems that have already become too overwhelming to address. That’s what makes us think we’re going crazy sometimes when we don’t quite understand the reason. But our dreams are trying to tell us the story. They can often seem mundane or even just plain silly, so we often ignore them. But we shouldn’t, because there’s always an important message in them. They happen for a reason, and they’re trying to save us the hassle...if we pay attention.

Nightmares are the dreams that stick in our minds the most because they can sometimes scare the living daylight out of us. But they’re often not as horrific as they seem. They’re not usually clear prophecies of something bad that’s going to happen. They don’t usually predict death or tragedy. They usually are only trying to tell us something about our state of mind. Dreams predict and show us our mental disturbances. They can help us deal with our problems before they escalate.

Nightmares are the nighttime manifestation of our worst daytime fears. But they indicate that we’re ready to address those fears. Often we think we’re feeling fine during the daylight hours. But nightmares indicate that something is going on under the surface that we’re not acknowledging. The symbolism in nightmares offer clues to what’s bothering us the most and needs to be dealt with. So it’s helpful to learn a little bit about those symbols.

Funerals are a common scene in nightmares. And the association with death can be disturbing to the dreamer. But these death symbols are more likely a symbol of rebirth or great change. You may be making a transition of some kind in your life, and the funeral symbolizes the death of the old you in order to make room for the new. The dream is simply telling you that you’re ready to make the change. The only time you should really be worried about a prophecy of death is if the dream contains very specific details, like names on the headstone, specific dates, numbers, obituaries, funeral details, etc., and this is an extremely rare occurrence.

Dreams of attacks by wild animals are also common nightmare scenes. But animals in dreams represent different emotional states. And the emotional state takes on the personality of the animal in the dream. For instance, an attack by a bear in a dream may symbolize an “attack” in your waking life by a situation that’s “overbearing” or “unbearable.” Or being attacked by rats may signify that you’re being “plagued” by a diseased element in your life, or that something is very disturbing or fundamentally wrong inside you.

Nightmares of violent disturbances like fighting, explosions, vehicle crashes, etc. are all indications of emotional turmoil you’re experiencing that is about to boil over. Fighting in dreams is about conflict inside your mind. Perhaps two sides of your personality are battling for control of you. Explosions indicate something you’re dealing with in your waking life that’s literally about to “blow up.” Car crashes mean you feel you’ve lost control of a situation in your daytime life and are about to literally “crash.”

Falling in nightmares, accompanied by anxious feelings in the dream, indicates an intense fear of failure. While falling in a dream, and feeling good about it, indicates surrender or letting go of something you’ve been holding on to that may have been harmful to you.

Dreams about monsters are about problems in your life that seem to have “monstrous” proportions. They indicate frightening problems you may have that seem out of your control, like problems in the workplace or family dynamics you can’t change.

And nightmares about wounds and excessive bleeding are some of the most disturbing of all. Wounds in dreams indicate that you’re feeling emotionally wounded. The location of the wound can give clues to the nature of the emotional disturbance. If your hand is wounded in the dream, it may mean you feel your ability to accomplish things in your life is being damaged. If your head is wounded, it may mean your ability to think clearly in your waking life has been affected.

Bleeding profusely in a dream is about emotional exhaustion. Since blood is life, if you’re bleeding excessively in your nightmare, it may mean you feel the life is literally being “drained” out of you in your waking life.

Nightmares can be very scary, and seem very real. But they are rarely prophecies of terrible disasters in your daylight hours. More often than not they’re just trying to warn you of emotional turmoil to come. But the good news is there is a kind of psychic element to them. They’re trying to warn you BEFORE disaster strikes. They’re actually trying to give you a head’s up to the problems developing inside you. They’re trying to tell you what’s going on in your unconscious mind that you don’t yet consciously know about. So by learning to pay attention to them and interpret them you can learn to manage your emotions.

They’ll tell you you’re tired before you consciously know it, so you can rest. They’ll tell you a situation in your life is out of control so you can stop and find a way to get control. They have the answers before you’re fully aware of the question. They’re trying to give you the head’s up and give you more control of your life. And when you understand them better, they’re interesting to think about too. ******DF

Shooting Bigfoot Director Morgan Matthews interview

2013-05-02T09:02:00.004-07:00

This is an interview with the director of the film Shooting Bigfoot. The film and story surrounding it is that a bigfoot was killed and it was all caught on film.
As the story goes the director, Morgan Mathews, was ran over and knocked down by the bigfoot and it was all caught on film.
In the interview he reveals there is no dead bigfoot and is unsure if the creature is even real. So this appears to be nothing more that a big hoax.
Thanks

First Look at Hank from Shooting Bigfoot

2013-05-01T21:35:00.000-07:00

The Guys over at FBFB have posted this tiny sliver of a photo from the shooting bigfoot movie and have said that it is for sure not a mask and a real bigfoot.

How does the above photo compare to the creature in the tent video?

Is it the same? is it different? You can decide for yourself.

Now how does it compare to the artwork?

Do they all look enough alike to be the same creature? You can decide for yourself.

I wanted to share this because I know a lot of people wanted to see the actual creature from the film, so there it is ....how do you feel about it now? Does it change your mind?

Thanks

Shooting Bigfoot - The Reviews are in!

2013-04-30T20:52:00.005-07:00

The reviews are starting to come in about Shooting Bigfoot and they are not good for the film or Team Tracker.

"What SHOOTING BIGFOOT allows us to do is spend time with the people behind the findings, and see them for the kooks, cons and crazies they really are. This is one wild film, and one of the best documentaries of the festival for certain.
Bigfoot might still be out there. The beast likely still inspires believers and will continue to until its existence is conclusively proven or disproven. Matthews doesn’t purport to have any clear answers, and neither do I. One thing is for sure though – the four men profiled in this film sure don’t have any answers either."

read it yourself and make up your own mind
http://www.thematinee.ca/hotdocs2013shootingbigfoot/

Stories of Dyer supporters getting up and leaving the movie, reports of it being a bigfoot suit and reports of only about 30 seconds of bigfoot footage and no HD footage.

If all of this is true then one can only assume it has been a hoax.

Also the silence coming from FB/FB speaks volumes, they had it all riding on a bigfoot body.

Dyer did make a few comments during his Google hangout and pointed some of the blame, of lack of bigfoot footage, onto Morgan Matthews. Dyer went on to promise the bigfoot body would be shown on Aug. 15.
Another interesting note is that Dyer did not attend the showing, but he could have had good reasons.

Several months ago I was covering this story pretty hard and I broke the news of some of the details but as time went on and the story changed, I got a bad feeling about it. The more I heard and seen the more doubt I had, so I just basically dropped the story as I didn't want to get drawn into all the personal bashing and fighting. I also was attacked just for covering the story but I was trying to get details for everyone. In any case, I would like to apologize to anyone who feels I was unfair in my reporting or was purposely aiding in a hoax.

If this is for sure a hoax, and it appears to be, there are many players who might just be finished in the bigfoot community. Hoaxing in the bigfoot community seems to be at an all time high, which really hurts true bigfoot research.

I still don't think this is totally over with yet and expect it to linger on for a little while.

Maybe things will get a little bit back to normal and all the fighting will end over the next few weeks.

Have a great week!
Thanks
~Tom~
