Baby Bigfoot Lady Shares Her Journal
Thursday, February 27th, 2014
This is a second interview. The original story was published in January 2014.
AVONDALE, La. — The woman who claimed she raised a baby Bigfoot between the years 1964 and 1972 now says she has a new thing to share with the world.
Despite her initial request not to be interviewed again, Melacetti contacted Cryptozoology News last week with additional information concerning her “precious” journal.
“I wrote it every day, I drew pictures on it, with the little face and three fingers and three toes only,” she said. “I would write a little note on every little thing he’d do. I remember when I was feeding him the goat milk and he would spit it out!”
Melacetti says she is proud of having contributed to the preservation of an “almost extinct” animal.
“I think about it every day. Even more now, now that I feel so close to the end of my life, I feel confident I did the right thing. We are not here to exploit nature. We are here to live with nature, to enjoy it and help its creatures when they are in need. We have that privilege, and that power too. Use it to do good. The new generations are changing, I truly hope things get better for animals in the world.”
The journal, an old brown notebook, consists of 100 pages containing incredible anecdotes about the times she allegedly spent with the creatures.
“Like I said, they are still there. They’ll always be there in the swamp. They have long lives, longer than ours. It makes me happy to think about it. My favorite part is when he stopped crawling and began walking with two legs. I was shocked. They are just like babies you know? They need love and care, just like humans and other primates.”
Another part of the journal she “keeps close to her heart” is when the animal came home with a friend.
“It was a sad morning. I haven’t seen him in three days and I fear the worst. It is hunting season and I can hear the shots. I am afraid he’s hurt…”
The next page describes when she saw her furry pal coming home with a new friend.
“The strangest thing happened today. I always wondered where the others where. Now I know. I was getting some tomatoes when I heard somebody walk. I recognized the sound right away, but I knew somebody else was coming too. It was another male, taller than him, the hair was kind of red, instead of brown. Now this is going to be fun, I’ll have to feed them both.”
After two hours, she requested to be left alone. She declined to comment on her illness and says she “hopes one day people understand the meaning of life”.

Sasquatch Spotted in Mission,BC Canada. A Video Analysis.
Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
The advent of mobile phones that incorporated cameras -also known as smart phones- have definitely contributed to the influx of Bigfoot videos across the internet. Pranksters, teenagers, and even the older ones like to put up a show for the world to see. This is not always the case though, and occasionally, the videos are either beautifully crafted into hoaxes or we are looking at the real Bigfoot.
Today we are analyzing the video of a Sasquatch filmed in Mission, British Columbia in Canada. We are looking at a video taken a long distance from the target. We will try our best to determine whether the figure spotted on the footage is true or fake.
This is the video:
The picture below certainly shows a bipedal creature. This frame shows it standing in an upright position, characteristic of human walking behavior. Bigfoot sightings and clearer videos show that the animal usually walks leaning forward, similar to the way apes walk.
The following two pictures also show a feature that could mean there is a man inside a costume. As usual, the length of the arms, including the movement, are human-like. The arms are not as long as they should be in other more credible Bigfoot sightings. Notice the familiar way the target moves its arms as the entire thing had been rehearsed prior to the video.
Indeed these details don’t prove the video has been manufactured as a hoax, it only shows that due to the long distance of the subject from the camera, and the incredibly human-like behavior of the creature, we are most likely looking at a person and not an animal.

New Bigfoot TV Show to Target the Jobless, Homeless
Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
LOS ANGELES — The makers of an upcoming reality TV show aimed at finding the elusive creature say they are getting ready to face waves of public criticism.
The new television series will feature a hundred teams of ten people, positioned in booths across the wild land of the American Northwest.
“Well, it’s still in the making, it’s not official yet, but we are getting there. Our goal is to help reduce the jobless rate in the country,” says Anthony Krostenwski, the mind behind the innovative idea. “We go to towns all around the country to select our participants. It doesn’t matter their background. We don’t care about the race, sex, religious beliefs, age or criminal background. We actually want diversity so that we can help with integration as well. We are almost done with the selection process.”
Krostenwski explains the idea came to him last summer while on a road trip across America. “Believe me, I went to ‘Nam back in the day and I saw it all, yet I was shocked when I saw the shape our country is in. Panhandlers, I’m telling you, young and old alike, horrible scenes I have nightmares about it. I was specially shocked at rural neighborhoods, because I didn’t expect to find similar things there as I did when I visited the big cities. I went North and South, East and West, I was ashamed that nobody was doing anything about it so I thought it was time to give it a try. I’ve always been interested in the Bigfoot subject so why not? I believe there are some unknown animals out there,” he told Cryptozoology News.
Although economists agree that the unemployment rate varies by state, people argue that the recession has definitely taken a toll, specially on the middle class.
“Oh we know that, hell we do,” says Patricia Whiltmans , ex-nurse and mother of three. “I was laid off in 2009, just like that, for no reason. Now, how do you think I feel about that?”
But she believes the controversial TV show won’t bring her job back. “Let me tell you, how in the world is this show gonna help us with the jobs? So he gonna put us in the wild, and then what? Disrespectful at best.”
Then, Krostenwski explains, they will ask the contestants to find Bigfoot. “We know there’s gonna be trouble. We expect it. This is no free ride either. We are making the people work to win the price,” he said. “Nobody gave me nothing when I was younger. Now I want to give back to the community somehow. We’ll be placing ten booths per, let’s say, every 2,000 acres, so the participants are going to be kept in isolation. They’ll be taking turns to sleep, cook, go to the restroom and all, while keeping an eye trying to find the creature. And we’ll be watching them, we’ll keep the cameras on 24 hours a day, and a live feed on a website where users can subscribe monthly for a low fee of $4.99 to watch the participants interact with each other.”
According to the man, the show is scheduled to air this summer and it will be on every Wednesday night featuring the highlights from the week. “Then, at the end of the month, we eliminate a team depending on the evidence they have gathered. They’ll be carrying state of the art digital cameras on their helmets. We’ll be reviewing each and one of the videos and based on the level of oddities they were able to capture on camera, they’ll be either promoted and get an upgraded booth and more food or get kicked out. Samples of hair and tracks will also mean more points. The prize won’t be revealed until the show starts.”

But there is a catch. “You’ll have to carry an ankle monitor. We’ll attach a waterproof GPS device to each of the participants, that way we’ll also be able to track them down in case they are in danger. A team of experts will closely monitor their location, and we’ll also make sure to keep bears, cougars and the like away from our contestants.”
Leo Johnson, transient in Florida, believes this is “no way to treat anybody”. “I mean, yes, it’s still a job, but who wants to get a device on all day like you are a criminal or something? That doesn’t make no sense.”
The creator of the show disagrees. “Well, we certainly need a way to keep track of the equipment in case it gets lost too. I feel bad for saying this but that’s tons of money at stake here. You don’t have to participate if you don’t feel comfortable, we have rules we need to follow. We’ll be making sure the applicants go through a medical examination before they are selected and that they are vaccinated accordingly. They’ll be given free medical and life insurance, so believe me, it won’t be as bad as it sounds. We mean well.”
If everything goes as planned, he explains, and if the producers agree with all the rules and get the permits they need, ‘Charity Bigfoot’ will be an instant success.
“It has potential, that’s for sure,” he said.

Florida Woman Close Encounter with Bigfoot
Sunday, February 23rd, 2014
MILTON, Fla. — A woman says a strange animal that “looked like a monkey” broke into her kitchen Friday afternoon.
The incident allegedly occurred in a country house located about 35 miles west of the town.
Elizabeth Rantellatti, 45, says she is still shaken by the sighting.
“My son was outside playing with a friend. I was getting things ready for his birthday, so I finished baking a cake, and then I had to go to the bathroom for a minute,” she told Cryptozoology News.
The witness explained she detected a strange foul smell.
“We have those smoke alarms in the house, they can also measure gas, but they didn’t go off. The stench was unbearable. It was very humid as if it was raining inside the house. You know, that smell when it rains? But it was mixed with something that smelled like rotten eggs and wet dog. And I thought, well this may be coming from the river… then I remembered about the cake, well I figured maybe I left the gas on the stove or something.”
So she went to the kitchen, and what she saw there, she confessed, left her “stupefied”.
“The smell got more intense, as I get to the kitchen’s door, I see this big animal standing there, checking out the cake. He was poking it and smelling it. Pieces of pie all over the kitchen tile. He looked kind of like a big monkey. My first thoughts were that it was my son and his friend playing a prank on me. But when it looked at me I kind of freaked out, I swear that it looked like a human face. I screamed so loud my son came right in from the backyard,” she explained.
When her 7-year-old son arrived, alarmed over his mother’s scream for help, the beast began screaming too.
“And we all screamed. It sounded like a howl but a mix between a coyote’s and a gorilla, kinda. Then that thing went ran to the backyard, jumped over the fence with such ease I was shocked. And that was it. I went to the neighbors and asked for help.”
Purportedly, her son is still having nightmares about the encounter. “And I saw him standing eating my birthday cake. And I screamed, and he screamed and then my mom screamed and the monkey ran away, and my friend was sitting in the backyard and he says he saw it too, and he jumped over the fence like a deer he told me, but he says he wasn’t afraid because he saw Alfred the neighbor coming right behind it with a stick,” said the boy.
The woman’s description of the animal matches thousands of witness reports across the country. “That thing was huge. I’d say it was probably the size of a grown horse standing on its back legs, or a big pony, I don’t know, that size, I think, with a big belly,” Rantellatti stated.
According to cryptozoologists, the Myakka, also known as the Skunk Ape, is a hominid supposedly living in the Florida’s swamps. They are also known for their foul smell and thick fur.
Last week, a family from Detroit reported witnessing a similar creature in a suburban area.
In June, 2014, a man and his son claimed they spotted the beast and were able to capture a video of it running across a Florida field.
Frequently, deer and bears follow the smell of food inside residences. Experts argue most of these reports are the result of people misidentifying native species.

Demons Outside: My 48 Hours In a Cold War Bunker
Friday, February 21st, 2014
RALEIGH, N.C. (Cryptozoology News) — A man contends he deliberately locked himself inside a bomb shelter for two days hiding from a group of hostile unidentified creatures.
The extraordinary claim comes 52 years after the incident allegedly took place.
C. Livingston, 74, says he remembers the experience vividly. “I remember working on the bunker project for so long. I used to take time off from work often just to go out to the cabin in the woods and work on the shelter. See, this is how it was back then, you had the so-called ‘backyard bunker’ and then, if you could afford it, you’d buy some land out in the country and build yourself a second shelter, usually smaller but good enough to keep a family of four alive in case the Soviets or the Cubans attacked. This was more of a backup strategy, if you will. You had to build it far enough from your cabin though, so they wouldn’t be able to find it. Mine was about 700 feet away from the cabin. It had a 10-inch reinforced concrete ceiling and concrete walls,” he told Cryptozoology News.
Fears of imminent nuclear holocaust during the cold war years prompted American citizens to build fallout shelters all over the country. It’s estimated that 200,000 bunkers were built in the U.S. during the ’60s.
According to the witness testimony, on the evening of October 22th, 1962, he was moving canned goods from the cabin to his bunker, 60 miles Northwest of Raleigh, North Carolina, when he noticed unusual animal behavior.
“I came down the ladder carrying a box of canned fruit on my arms. Oh let me tell you, I had pineapple, strawberries, cherries, every single fruit you can think of. I had it all. I had soda, snacks and even games for the kids. I remember purchasing the ‘Diet Delight’ brand for my wife, cause she was a picky lady… I had newspapers and magazines, books and even a telephone guide. You need to understand, well, we were very afraid that a nuclear war was going to happen overnight. This may sound strange to you today, but back then most people in the states were getting ready, just in case. It wasn’t just the ‘duck and cover’ silliness they taught at the schools you know? So anyways, as I climb up the ladder to go back to the cabin, I notice everything is eerily quiet. I didn’t hear any birds or anything. I notice these long dark shapes lining up around the cabin, so close to each other that they looked like they were holding hands. I figured, well, they must be some critters looking for food, looked like does with their fawns. Some were taller than others, standing on their hind legs trying to find an opening to get inside the cabin.”
He purportedly continued watching the unknown creatures circling the cabin, observing their bizarre behavior.
“I stayed there on the ladder for a few minutes, head slightly out of the bunker, just watching them. I began to notice strange movements that didn’t look like deer at all. I worried a little when I remembered I had left my rifle in the cabin. I was pretty sure they couldn’t see me, though, so I just kept quiet for a while.”
But Livingston admits he grew impatient and curious. He wanted to take a closer look at the animals. Besides, he says, it was getting dark.
“And as soon as I came out, they spotted me and began running toward me all at once. I didn’t know what to make of it at that moment, for sure I was afraid, but I was more confused than I was afraid.”
According to the witness description, the animals were approximately 9-foot tall and walked “as if they were limping.” Their skin was black and gray, and it grew in “wartlike, knotty patches” that reminded Livingston of leprosy.
“They looked as if they were carrying this horrible disease. The skin looked like it was falling off. There were no ears on their long heads, only holes and it gave me the willies. The eyes were so small I couldn’t see them well. I closed down the bunker’s door and locked myself in. I waited for about an hour and then when I felt a little calm, I remembered I had put a transistor radio somewhere in there, a spare Hercules -as we used to call it- that I had bought a few years earlier.”
So he turned on the radio. It was 7 p.m. and president Kennedy was speaking.
“Now that’s when I really panicked,” the man says. “After hearing about the communists and the missiles, my world turned upside down. I thought maybe the Russians have sent a biological attack or who knows. For all I knew, to me it was the end of the world. I had no utter idea, I remember talking to myself out loud, trying to calm down. I had no idea what was going on in the rest of the nation. I thought about my family and I wondered if they were safe at home, and I wanted to leave but…even if I used the escape hatch, I’d still be seen.”
One hour later, reportedly, the radio died. Now Livingston was in complete isolation from the outside world. The bunker, he says, became his “only one companion.”
“I stared at the walls for hours. I tried to sleep through the night, but I kept hearing them outside, walking, I heard them claws hitting the door and sometimes it sounded as if they were pouring liquid or sand on the surface. ”
The creatures didn’t appear to communicate verbally. Instead, the man says, they made clapping sounds “similar to Morse code”.
The sun rose and silence took over. “I didn’t sleep at all. Next morning, the noises were gone so I went up the ladder to check again.”
Livingston explains that he had installed a peephole on the bunker’s door so that he was able to gather a few more physical details about the intruders.
“I saw a body part that looked like a knee, and I could see its skin in detail. It kind of looked like plastic, with that particular texture you find in rugged plastic, you know? Very tough. The skin around the knee was black and gray, like I said, and sometimes it moved as if there was a worm right beneath it trying to come out. I remember thinking of athletes and muscle cramps. I still dream of that sometimes. Then I remember seeing a dark skin fold, and something that I figured was an ear canal. I suppose they were trying to listen to find out what I was doing.”

The eye, he recalls, was the most terrifying thing to see. “The silence stopped and they became agitated, so I supposed that they were able to feel my presence getting close to them. All of a sudden, as I look through the peephole I see this eye that looks kind of like a bird’s eye. It was very small but I got to see it just fine. The pupil was black and it kept dilating back and forth, non stop. The iris was red with little white spots around.”
Then, when the hitting and the kicking began once again, a startled Livingston went back to the safety of the cold bunker’s floor.
“I wondered when they’d leave. I sat on a a corner and wept. I began thinking of what Kennedy had said on the radio the day before, and I couldn’t sleep. In the morning, everything was silent, again. But I didn’t hold my breath. I remember thinking these demons are still there, just waiting for me until I finally give up and come out. But they were gone. I looked through the peephole and I didn’t see a thing. I knocked on the door and screamed, and nothing. No one was there.”
Livingston got on his pickup truck and when he arrived home, he decided to keep the incident to himself. “I was both relieved that everyone was safe outside, but at the same time I didn’t want to tell about what happened in the woods. I thought, my family is not going to believe me, why give them a hard time? Not to mention, the kids were too young to hear stuff like that.“
He admits he was fearful of being ostracized from the community. Despite his fears, the man says his marriage fell apart when he finally told his wife about what happened that strange night.
“She never believed me, up until the day she died. I was afraid of losing my job if the story ever got out. Now that I’m old I don’t care as much. Things are not what they seem. The world you know, the world is not an easy place to live. You are raised in a particular way your parents believe is the best, making you think that everything is gonna be just fine, no matter what, but the world hides things we don’t know of. I kept thinking of how much time we waste blaming each other, and other nations, and how it wasn’t the Soviets that we should be concerned about. We are blind,” Livingston said.
He sold that piece of land two years after the event.

Flying Humanoid Photographed in Oregon
Wednesday, February 19th, 2014
(Cryptozoology News) — Two people reported seeing a flying human-like silhouette Sunday evening in two different locations in Oregon.
A 47 year-old man from Roseburg, who asked to remain anonymous, said he was sitting on his front porch smoking a cigarette at approximately 6 p.m., when he spotted what he initially believed to be a “person sitting on a tree branch”.
“I see this fool crawling on a branch on the neighbor’s tree, I thought someone was just being stupid. I go back inside the house and ask my wife to come out with me to take a look at him, and when she sees him she says we should call the police, but we didn’t have enough time. I thought he was a drunk guy or something, just being dumb. He crouched down and stayed still. He had dark clothes on him, similar to a surfer’s wetsuit, and something that looked like a long cape, also black. I clapped my hands making noise to see if he noticed us, and he moved his head a little. I told my wife to take a picture with her phone, and the flash of her phone must had spooked him, because he climbed down the tree moving like a lizard, really fast but in an awkward way. My wife freaked out, dropped the phone and ran back in the house. I stood my ground, probably 100-ft away from it.

It definitely had long arms, and when it got down to the lawn, it was standing up on two legs, so it wasn’t a cougar or a bear for sure, cause he walked a few steps just like a person. Then, it lifts itself off the ground, hovering on the road, about 2-ft from the asphalt. All of a sudden a bright light in the sky, and the thing goes up higher towards the center of the light and then it was gone. It was a matter of seconds but I can tell you that wasn’t an animal that I know of. I know it sounds crazy, that’s why I prefer to keep my name private if you don’t mind, I hope you respect that,” he explained.
K. Smith, a 22-year old student from Corvallis, told Cryptozoology News that he had just finished walking his girlfriend home, when he saw a “man with extremely long arms” on the top of the roof of a nearby house. The man, Smith says, then proceeded to jump off the roof.
“But he didn’t touch the ground,” he said. “He stopped right before touching the ground and began floating in the air.”
Then, according to the witness, the strange figure flew away in the darkness. “Honestly, I was a little bit afraid, but it was getting dark so it could have easily been just an animal…except for the long arms hanging on the sides, which looked human to me, or like a primate maybe. They were exceedingly long. One thing that also grabbed my attention was the humming sound coming out of it, but I didn’t see any metallic object or anything that resembled any type of electronics on it. It happened fast, 20 seconds probably.”
Smith also states that the creature didn’t have wings and that it flew following a “fast zigzag pattern”.
In 1950 in McMinnville, Oregon, a farmer took one of the most renowned pictures in UFO history.
In 1997, a man who maintained that he was a former employee at a military facility, said on nationally syndicated radio show Coast to Coast that “what we are thinking of as aliens” actually are “extra-dimensional beings.”
In 2007, a police officer from Mexico admitted to being attacked by a flying humanoid while on patrol in the city of Monterrey.
Paranormal experts usually base these type of incidents on the possibility of inter-dimensional portals, where entities travel freely through different layers of reality. This theory is also used by some cryptozoologists in order to explain the absence of Bigfoot physical remains.

Truck Driver Confronts Giant Insect on Interstate
Monday, February 17th, 2014
TRACY, Calif. (Cryptozoology News) — An unidentified “giant” insect reportedly came across the path of a truck driver in Central California Saturday, attached itself to the vehicle’s citizen’s band radio antenna, and flew away leaving a trail of an organic substance on the windshield.
The driver, James Morris, 45, says the incident occurred shortly after 10.30 am. He was driving on interstate 5 between Tracy and Patterson in Central Valley.
“I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, never seen anything like it. You get to see weird stuff on the I-5, no doubt about it, but nothing like this,” Morris told Cryptozoology News.
Interstate 5 is the main transportation artery on the West Coast of the United States. It extends from Washington to California and connects Canada to Mexico.
The eyewitness claims the weather was “fine and clear” and that “it all happened in a matter of seconds.”
“I had slept well the night before, so I was well aware to know what I saw. So I am driving on the I-5 near Patterson when my radio starts hissing. Anyway, as I reach for the radio and I hear this thumping noise coming from the left side of the truck. I see this big bug, looked like a beetle the size of a wild cat, clamped to the antenna, bending it all over almost all the way down to the hood. Kinda panicked for a few seconds but I waved my hand at it, hitting the window hard with my hand, and it flew away,” Morris said.
The encounter left the driver uncertain about what to do next. “I figure, how am I gonna report this? They’ll think I’m crazy or something, I mean, how the hell do you report this type of stuff? They wouldn’t take me seriously. I said screw it, and kept driving. There wasn’t any damage on the truck or anything so whatever. The only thing I did was warn a few other drivers on the radio just in case they came across it too, but all I got was a couple laughs which I knew was gonna happen to begin with, but at least I warned them. I also noticed a gooey green liquid on the front window, but it was mostly gone by the time I reached my destination.”
The driver described the body of the insect as “a shiny, red and black” metallic shell, with long black antennas that “looked like serrated knives,” and a wingspan of five feet. The eyes, he says, were big and red and “looked like it had little mirrors inside.”
“Oh we still use them CB’s, no doubt. Many companies out there are using cell phones nowadays, but CB’s are still in use, and keep in mind it costs much less than phone services. I mean, it is free you know,” the man said.
Morris says he is not afraid of having another encounter with the beast and that the strange event won’t affect his daily driving. In fact, he says, he would like to be able to see the animal one more time.
“If you think about it, what are the odds of me finding this thing again? Hope I do anyway so this time I’ll be ready to take a picture. I’ll tell my boss to add a dash cam but he is a cheap man,” Morris explained.
Insects are known to be affected by electrical fields. Some species of ants, such as the “crazy ants”, are attracted to electronics, while certain electrical frequencies actually repel the animals. Cockroaches, for example, are known for making themselves comfortable inside appliances and electronics; user reports across the internet indicate that the warmth and safety feeling inside a laptop, or a TV, seem like the perfect habitat for the arthropod.
Scientific literature often refers to giant insect fossils that existed during the Carboniferous period, approximately 300 million years ago. Gauthier Chapelle and Lloyd S. Peck (May 1999) wrote an article on this subject “Polar gigantism dictated by oxygen availability”. Nature 399 (6732): 114–115. doi:10.1038/20099. They theorized that gigantism during the Carboniferous period could have been possible due to the atmospheric oxygen being as high as 35%. According to this theory, giant insects could not survive today’s decreased oxygen levels.
Yet eyewitness accounts from all over the world suggest that there could be some unidentified giant species of insects making their way across our air highways. Experts believe evolution could have played a fundamental role in the adaptation of a few survivors from the Carboniferous period, by helping these animals adapt to our current lower atmospheric oxygen numbers.

Bigfoot Living Among the Ruins of Detroit!
Saturday, February 15th, 2014
DETROIT (Cryptozoology News) — A family claim they saw a strange ape-like creature Thursday afternoon coming out of the window of an abandoned house on the outskirts of the desolate city.
C. Brown, his wife, and their two children said they were “driving around, looking to buy a new house”, when they allegedly witnessed the unidentified beast.
“The economy has been devastating here man,” Brown explained. “One day, you are living in this beautiful city with over a million and a half working people, next day all you know is all is gone…crime has gone up and life has become almost impossible to deal with here. I am one of the lucky ones still with a job.”
Detroit’s economy has seen a decline in the recent decades. What used to be the city of the automobile industry and prosperity has now become a crime-ridden place with the potential to become a war zone. Likewise, the once wealthy house lots are currently nothing but a sanctuary for homeless people struggling to live another day.
“All the houses and people we used to know are long gone. Our neighborhood is not a safe place for our children anymore. So we decided to go look for a new place,” the man said.
His wife shares the same feelings about the city. “Ain’t no place for us to live here. What for? People get shot for nothing in here. So we got in the car and went looking for a good house to move to,” she told Cryptozoology News.

Reportedly, after driving for three hours and not able to find a house meeting the family standards, they decided it was time to return home.
“I saw that thing right through the window of an abandoned house. I was shocked. I told my husband cause he was driving and couldn’t see it.”
They described the house as a two story blue building with broken windows. Then, they said, Brown decided to “slow down to get a better look”.
“Hell, we were curious about it. I mean, you know, we were aware that we ain’t in no safe neighborhood, but we didn’t get out of the car or nothing. We see this hairy arm reaching out the window. I say what the hell, he gonna get cut that dude with the broken glass, man. Then a whole body coming out the window, looked like a monkey, only big damn monkey with a stick on the hand. Maybe about 7-ft tall. It had short, reddish hair. But hold on, the face was human looking, as crazy as it sounds. My wife kept telling me to drive away, so we did. I got to see the animal’s eyes and all, big and dark, with a huge head, like a triangle shape, kinda, know what I mean? Started hitting the ground with the branch or the stick or whatever it was holding. Kind of reminded me of what squirrels do with their legs when you approach them. But this was no damn squirrel,” Brown claimed.
A few moments later, as the Browns left the blue house behind, the animal supposedly walked through the bushes and disappeared.
“I could see it on the mirror, he kept hitting the ground with the stick and then he walked away and couldn’t see him anymore. The kids were screaming in the backseat like crazy and my wife was trying to calm them down, man. It went on for 30 seconds or so,” the father said.

“The lack of urban expansion in the city due to a poor economy could mean that some species have found their way back into their old habitat. It is also possible that the lots of empty houses could work as an incentive for wild animals seeking shelter. As a result, these witnesses could easily misidentify the native species of the area,” said Lorenzo Martinez, animal behaviorist and teacher at a Spanish university.
“No no, that was not a dog or a bear. That was either some sick man dressed up for fun or a freaking monkey with a man’s face, like a Bigfoot. Whatever you wanna believe, up to you. That’s all I have to say,” said Brown.
Last December, a man from Maine claimed he saw a “white Bigfoot” while walking his dog near his residence.

Reptilian Humanoid Startles Bikers in the Sonoran Desert
Thursday, February 13th, 2014
TUCSON, Ariz. (Cryptozoology News) — A group of three mountain bikers reportedly saw a reptilian humanoid last week in the middle of a trail located in the Sonoran desert.
The bicyclists were riding the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo race course, a 17 mile trail, when they spotted the creature.
“It’s a tough one,” said G. Johnson, 34, a self-described businessperson from Tucson. “It is a 24 hour track, so you better come prepared with more than enough food and water. There are times you just wanna go back and wish you had never got there in the first place. But when you see what nature has to offer you here…well, those regrets dissipate rather quickly.”
Johnson states that he and two other friends were half way into the track when something “terrifying” made the group consider cancelling the ride.
“We had been riding for about… I don’t know maybe nine hours, taking breaks every now and then. Then Michael says he needs to stop for a minute. We are waiting for him to finish when all of a sudden we see this long figure walking across the trail. He is maybe about 6-foot tall, very very skinny, and it had an awkward gait, like a monkey…or a man with a disease, almost robotic, kind of,” he told Cryptozoology News.
According to the eyewitness, two of the men were watching the strange animal while the third one, Michael, was unaware of what was happening.
“Then all I remember about Michael is him saying what the hell is that? Or something like that. But he sounded far away. He probably used a different word instead of hell. Thing is, we had somehow walked a little towards the thing. Don’t ask me why…maybe to look at it better, not knowing what it was.”
Then, Johnson says, the creature “heard Michael speak” and, apparently taking notice of the “intruders”, its head took an eerie 280 degree turn.
“He stopped and it made eye contact with me and I could see him clearly. The eyes were kind of like a snake’s, but black and with a yellow stripe in the middle of the eye. It had green and red scales on the face and head. The red color was kind of like the same as the desert sand there, and it looked like it had a sandy texture too. It didn’t have a nose, only two holes on it. I couldn’t see any ears or hair. A red mouth that looked like it had blood around it, but it didn’t look like it was bleeding, it looked like a pattern. It reminded me of a chameleon, but it looked like a person too.”

Allegedly, the creature raised its “long arms with strange looking claws that looked like a branch full of thorns” and waved at them, emitting a loud chattering sound with its teeth. Then it rapidly ran away, in a fashion that reminded the witness of “a lizard trying to hide.”
“He looked like he was examining us and then he ran into the desert. We thought about going back the same way we came, but we thought it didn’t matter, since we were in the middle of the track anyway. We were scared, to be honest. None of us had ever seen anything like it. It lasted only a few seconds, but it felt longer than that, at least to me. So after we talked about it for a while, we decided to go on and finish the track.”
Johnson believes that what they saw was real and not a product of their imagination. “When you read these stories online or watch them on TV, well, you think man these people are crazy, on meds or something or in need of attention, but this has made me a believer. There has to be more of them out there. If there’s one, there’s gotta be two at least right? I know most people won’t believe a word I said, that’s the way I used to be. I don’t blame them at all. But they are out there. Now I’m not saying this is an alien or a chupacabra or anything like it, all I’m saying is I have never seen anything like it in my life. But I am no biologist so what do I know.”
- Book: The Cryptoterrestrials: A Meditation on Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us
Theories of subterranean “alien” bases are popular in the UFO community and describe the entities as humanoids of reptilian appearance. Southwestern Native American legends tell the story of underground creatures living next to humans for thousands of years. People living around the New Mexico border report seeing strange lights in the sky and bizarre phenomena. Indirectly creating a thin line between cryptozoology and ufology, writer Mac Tonnies, in his book The Cryptoterrestrials: A Meditation on Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us, proposes the idea that certain “alien” sightings could be attributed to the existence of a group of humanoid species endemic to Earth.

WWII Pilot Speaks Out: Gremlins are Real!
Tuesday, February 11th, 2014
- Planes fly over Iwo Jima
JONESBORO, Ark. (Cryptozoology News) — A man who says he was a Boeing B17 pilot during WWII contends that many of the plane failures which occurred during that time period were due to the mischievous actions of little creatures.
L.W., 92, says these little beings were capable of attaching themselves to the fuselage and withstand high altitudes.
“Oh they are real, alright. They’d climb inside the aircraft and hide in there, or hook up under the wings. I’m sure they were sabotaging most of the allies machinery.”
His father, an episcopal preacher from Arkansas, influenced L.W. decision to become a pilot.
“My father loved planes. When you are a preacher’s kid, well, you either turn out a little angel or a complete demon. I kind of went in between and decided to fight for my country instead. I got wings, but I was no angel,” he told Cryptozoology News.
“I was a B17 pilot. We were all young, I was 22-years- old and I was a flight commander. That was the average age…for the officers. The gunners were usually 18-years-old. We were very sharp, clean kids.”
One day, L.W. says, he was flying a combat mission when the unexpected happened. Purportedly, a pair of “gremlins” tried to crash the “flying fortress”.
“So I am very aware of my surroundings, and as I go higher, I notice an unusual sound coming from the engine. The instruments went nuts. I look at my right and I see an entity staring at me. Then I look at the aircraft’s nose, and there it is another one, hanging in there. Dancing lizards.”

The astonished pilot thought that maybe he was having an episode of spatial disorientation and hallucinations.
“But I was perfectly fine…my senses were in good shape, but the weird things were still there looking at me. They kept going at it, pounding the plane with all their might.”
L.W. says the creatures were 3-foot tall and had a hairless grey skin. The eyes were of a “deep red” color and their mouths were so big he “could almost count their teeth.” The ears were long and pointy, with a small black patch of hair growing on the tips that reminded the witness of “an owl’s ear.”
“They appeared to be laughing, with their big mouths open, looking at me, hitting the plane with their long arms, trying to pull stuff. I have no doubt in my mind that they were trying to crash it. I managed to stabilize the flight and I saw the critters falling off the aircraft. I don’t know if they fell and died, or if they jumped from my plane to a different one. I have no idea.”
L.W. couldn’t believe what he had seen, so when he went back to the base, he tried to keep the incident a secret. “Well, I had to tell my best friend, a young kid named Leroy, he was a gunner. Oh, he believed me. He said he had seen something similar a few days earlier during a training exercise, but that he was afraid to tell an officer about it for fears of being sent back to the US. We wanted to fight, we didn’t want to be the ones coming back empty handed, you know.”

At first, he says, he believed what he saw was “some sort of soldier developed by the Japanese.” But then, years later, in 1947, he came to a different conclusion.
“One day, I read the news about a strange aircraft crashing in Roswell, New Mexico. So I say, what the hell, that’s the same people that got on my plane! Now they are trying to attack our country too? I thought that if they were capable of building this type of advanced technology, oh boy, I thought we were done. Who knows what else they can do?”
Creatures of similar nature caused a controversy in Kentucky in 1955. In what has come to be known as The Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter, two families in a farm house were reportedly terrorized by little-goblin-like entities and strange weather phenomena.
It took L.W. over 70 years to come forward and tell his story to the public.
“Well, we were young and careless, fearless. We were, you know, free birds,” he said.
