What's it?

After the first flood at our cabin location, we found this track in the mud in the driveway. It was the only track we found.  What is your guess?

Is Sasquatch a SLIder?

Is Sasquatch a SLIder?

What is a SLIder you ask?  A SLIder is someone who has strange phenomenon occur, particularly to electrical devices, while in their presence. This can include, but is not limited to -

• Appliances such as lamps or TV's go on and off without being touched.
• Light bulbs constantly blow when a SLIder tries to turn a light on or off.
• Volume levels on TV's, radios, or stereos change on their own.
• Wrist watches stop working.
• Children's electronic toys start by themselves whenever a SLIder is present.
• Credit Cards and other magnetically encoded cards are damaged or erased when in a SLIder's possession.
• Cell phones calls will be interrupted by static or the call will be dropped.
• Street lights will turn off when a SLIder is near and then turn themselves back on after the SLIder has passed by.
• Photographic equipment may malfunction or photographs will look bleached out or be out of focus.
• Computers will malfunction - freeze or reboot on their own.

The term SLIder stands for Street Light Interference. This phenomenon was first noticed occurring to street lights, probably because street lights were among some of the first electrical devices among the public. 
What causes these strange occurrences to happen? It is speculated that this effect might be caused by electronic impulses in the brain. All of our thoughts and movements are the result of electrical impulses generated by the brain. These electrical impulses travel back and forth through a person's nerves, spinal cord and brain and in turn generate an electromagnetic field. Something every person has. Most SLIders seem to have an unusually strong electromagnetic field. Could these electrical impulses also affect things outside the body?

British researcher, Hilary Evans compiled hundreds of reports of SLIder interference. These reports can be found in his book, SLIders: The Enigma of Streetlight Interference . Through these reports, Evans determined that SLI is not a conscious action, but appears to occur when the SLIder is in an extreme emotional state (extreme anger and extreme sadness being the top two emotions felt). It's possible that this extreme emotional state creates an excess amount of (electrical) energy which in turn may travel through the air (ether) and interfere with the electromagnetic field of an electronic item.

Formal studies have not been done - the scientific community has a hard time believing in something which cannot be seen. But many researchers of the unknown feel that the energy of a location (geomagnetic/geo-electrical/vibrational) can enhance the phenomenon and even amplify a person's electromagnetic field, thus causing the SLI effect to be stronger and occur more frequently.  

Now, back to Sasquatch.  

Many researchers have found that trail cameras (a.k.a. game cameras) will malfunction when placed in areas with known or suspected Sasquatch activity. Pictures taken on trail cameras will often appear white (or 'bleached out') or be of an unusual color. Date and time stamps will read incorrectly or batteries will go dead unusually fast. Videos taken will also have unusual portions - similar to what happens with trail cam photos. 

People who have interacted with Sasquatch report unusual electrical activity. Anything from static electricity in the air to the feel of a jolt of electricity running through a person's body. What if Sasquatch is able to access the electrical energy created by his own body and project that electromagnetic field outwards, causing electrical devices to malfunction? Or perhaps even to disorient his prey so that he may get a meal? There are humans who are able to do this - project their 'energy' outwards. Have you ever been in a group of people when you just 'knew' someone had arrived without actually seeing him or her? You were picking up on that person's energy as they entered the room.

The movie, OHMAWING, addresses this 'electrical phenomenon' associated with Sasquatch. 

Many researchers report that Sasquatch activity lessens when trail cameras or auditory recording devices are put in place. Could the same electrical ability which Sasquatch uses to disable electronics make him sensitive to the electric fields generated by those devices? Thus allowing him to avoid areas where cameras are located? There are humans who are sensitive to electrical fields generated by various household devices as well as cell towers and high voltage power lines. 

Many animals are sensitive to the earth's magnetic fields and use that ability to guide them in their migrations. If we humans weren't bombarded by the various sources of electrical/magnetic interference in the ether, would we not also be better 'in tune' to the Earth's energies around us?

Legend of Bigfoot

I ran across this story while packing up some of our books. And I thought I would share it with you, my faithful readers. My Mother wrote this story while living in the Pacific Northwest prior to the eruption of Mt. St. Helens.

The Legend of Bigfoot 

by 

Donna Turnbull

     Etherton waved goodbye to the guides who were to set up camp here and let him proceed alone.  This was Bigfoot Country, a few miles from Vancouver on the slopes of Mt. St. Helens in the Cascades.  Here the sightings of Bigfoot had been many.  Not every man had nerve enough to climb the slopes in search of one.    

     But Etherton was a brave man.     He was there to attempt the rescue of one Alina Smith.  She had disappeared less than a month ago after the filming of her last picture was completed.  She had come here for a vacation and to join a group who were viewing the splendor of the cone shaped mountain.  The rest of the party had returned.  Alina had not.  One of them had testified that he had seen her, at a distance, picked up and carried off screaming by an eight foot man-like creature - a Bigfoot.  A party had searched for her for several days to no avail.  Everyone agreed that she would not now be found alive.
     Everyone except Etherton.
     He struggled on through the deep snow of the mountain slope.  In addition to his heavy clothing and mountain climbing equipment, he carried a high-powered rifle.  Snow swirled around him as he neared the cloud line.  Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a large hairy creature with humanoid features.  He raised his gun and fired.  The figure fell - it had been on a ledge with hundreds of feet of nothingness below.
     At the moment of the shot, thick hairy arms had closed around Etherton from behind.  One huge hand took the rifle from his nerveless hands and bent it into a figure eight shape, then tossed it away.
A soft voice spoke from two feet above his head, "Be quiet, you will not be harmed".  A squeak was the only sound that Etherton made in reply.  He was being held so tightly that he could not look upward and backward to see what held him.

     "Let me explain," said the voice. "We, whom you call Bigfoot, are human, but transmuted.  A great many years ago we chanced to discover a drug that let us change physically.  Letting us adapt physically to survive on the snowy slopes of this mountain where others cannot survive.  We now live in other areas of the globe.  Do you understand?"

     Etherton, beginning to feel a return of hope of his survival, answered with a 'yes'.

     "I shall explain further.  Our numbers are small and we are lessening.  When necessary we occasionally capture a human who ventures on the mountain slopes.  We give the transmuting drug then the person undergoes a change and becomes one of us.  By that means we keep up our number".

     Etherton explained that he was looking for Alina, "Is she now eight feet tall and hairy?"

     "She was.  You just shot her.  One of our number had taken her for his mate.  Now you must take her place".

     "I, I am a man!"

     "No matter", said the voice above him.  He was turned around and his face was buried against huge hairy breasts.  "I am a Bigfoot Woman".  Etherton was picked up and carried away by his mate.

Lazarus Species

“They’re called “Lazarus species” — creatures that have disappeared, sometimes for millions of years, only to miraculously be rediscovered again in modern times. Just as Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus in the Gospel of John, so these species manage to survive.”

A Lazarus Species is a creature that has disappeared from fossil records and thought to be extinct. Only to be 'rediscovered' in fairly modern times, alive and well and breathing. A good example of a Lazarus Species is the Coelacanth - a fish that was thought to have become extinct 65 million years ago. Only to be 'rediscovered' in 1938.

 Lazarus Species are not to be confused with Living Fossils. Living Fossils are creatures that have survived for thousands, sometimes even millions of years unchanged. Their species can be traced back through the millennium through fossil records. The cockroach is a good example of a Living Fossil.

Why is there no record - fossil or otherwise - of Lazarus Species? Where have they been hiding out all these millennium?

Has Nessie Been Found?

Has evidence of the Loch Ness Monster been found?

In this report by the Academy of Applied Science dated 2001, evidence was given to suggest that maybe Nessie does exist. Photos of a decaying corpse in 333 ft. of water were taken by a camera equipped ROV.

  They also found an abundant fish population.

UFOs & Cryptids

Eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas has long been the home to reports of UFOs, Bigfoot, and various other mysterious anomalies. 

Many people have reported seeing mysterious drones flying around the sky that suddenly vanish. 

Or they will see strange light formations that perform erratic flying maneuvers.

Strange encounters with large Cryptids that walk upright are quite numerous. In fact Hubby even got his picture taken with a couple. (OOPS! That was at the Bigfoot festival in Honobia, Oklahoma! My mistake.)

And then there was the case of the strange skeleton thought by some to be the skeletal remains of a Chupacabra. 

A strange skeleton was discovered in NW Arkansas in the early 90s. The skeleton, while incomplete, did still have some tissue clinging to it. The skeleton was examined by many scientists and veterinarians with no conclusive decision being made as to its species. Though several thought it to be possibly a Llama or Alpaca. 

What are your thoughts?

A Cryptid

Cryptid is a term used to refer to a creature whose existence has been suggested but not demonstrated scientifically.

There are many creatures that can be called Cryptids - Thunderbird, Unicorn, Dragon, Nessie, Bigfoot and Yeti to name just a few.

Hubby and I live in an area of the country where innumerable Bigfoot sightings have been reported. In fact, several TV shows have been filmed about the sightings in this area. We have always wanted to say we have seen Sasquatch, but no sightings have occurred - as yet!
Recently, Hubby and I met a man who has been greatly involved in the hunt for Bigfoot - not just in our area but other parts of the country as well. When he found out about our interest he brought us some casts of Bigfoot prints - two foot prints and one knuckle print.

The print on the left came from California and the one on the right came from Georgia. They are both well over 12 inches in length. Below is a knuckle print from Washington. It measures almost 10 inches across.
