“Ideas and Opinions” on the concept of mystery

Einstein’s worldview in his autobiography book illustrates how he views concepts, societies, individuals, and everything in between. As for his view on the “The World As He Sees It” he states that human life is so brief “for what purpose he knows not…But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people”. Einstein's beliefs regarding humanity stay in the realm of sociological and scientific approach for human life having a purpose. He views the individual's purposes as a means of supporting the greater good of humanity. Yes, this is an autobiography dated 88 years-ago in 1931, yet the overall ideals presented hold true as a summary of society. Einstein then goes on to describe how “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious”. I will summarize what this means as a journalist coming from one of the greatest scientists of all time. He, as a theoretical scientist, questions the unknown dilemmas regarding life. In his case, he questioned the physics of the universe with his equation on special relativity and how “mass and energy are the same physical entity” (Britannica). Yes, he is a hardcore laboratory type of scientist yet he speaks in the autobiography as a man in European society firstly. If I could ask him about the probability of wolf-men/werewolf/dogman creatures lurking in the forests of the Earth he might call me foolish or on the cusp of something yet to be unveiled by scientists/journalists alike.

Ideas and Opinions about this world (Part 1)

Today, this article will discuss the important distinction between “ideas” and “opinions”. I’m writing this inspired by the Albert Einstein book called “Ideas and Opinions' '. Now, as we all know what a fact is, there will be no need to discuss what we all know is true-a fact. Anyhow, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, an “idea” is “a formulated thought or opinion”. An “opinion”, on the other hand is “a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter”. As for the dictionary definitions of these words, one word is a greater understanding of the first word. An “idea” is something with value meant to be carried on into plan of action-at least that’s my opinion. An opinion is a often an unfounded assumption made for discussion. Once again, that was my opinion as well. The dictionary defines an idea as a formulated opinion meaning an opinion only provails in a persons mind (bias). So, in order for this media company to operate, the reader must understand that the ideas used here come from fact or eyewitness testimony. These ideas are closer to fact than opinion the more one researches this world. As I have yet to read Einstein’s autobiography book, which I am inspired to make, I will make this a multi-part series, analyzing the book. This is the first article thus prelude to my dissection or analysis of his book.

Research is the most important for fact finding.

Why is research the most important for fact finding? It’s the only way to vet and verify information that eyewitnesses, the government, or researchers present to the public. For example, the first dolphin said to breathe land air must’ve been researched by scientists before becoming a brute fact. For this article, I wanted to explain this importance and why it’s the basis for all the things humans see as reality of civilization and society as a concept. Going forward, these articles will mention researchers no different from myself and what they think about the topic of lycanthropy. In addition, eyewitness testimony interview by myself will have “feature” articles where they might have three or more post dedicated to their encounters. Research is the backbone for The Questioning Center because I am not grabbing stories from thin air without someone claiming it as fact. This goes for those encounters throughout history, left behind in books/documentation, and present day accounts within these last decades. For my research, I will always read physical books, interview witnesses, and reach out to other investigators-whether that be online private “cryptozoologists” or in-person, non-government investigators (often the eyewitness themselves).

Explaining why eyewitnesses are difficult to believe.

1/16/24

Today is another thought to keep in mind for understanding impossible sounding eyewitness testimony. Hearing strange descriptions about creatures, devices, technology, or energy vortexes from eyewitness interviews has led me, Matthew Williamson, down a road of unbelievable thoughts about supernatural encounters people are claiming to see. Well, since I love to be a journalist working to understand an eyewitness's paranormal foresight, I have to understand and document it for everyone to understand. It’s quite complicated indeed given the nature of the subject. Most people like me don’t believe in ghosts…I guess until we see it for ourselves. Keep in mind only 4% of Americans claimed to have seen a dogman/werewolf while 20% claimed to have seen ghost(s). I personally haven’t seen outrageously strange occurrences such as a ghost, lizardman, or wolfman, yet I would still keep an open mind for those who claim such. However, upon traveling to meet an Dogman eyewitness in North Carolina driving eleven, or twelve hours straight to interview him, I saw something astonishing! Upon looking into the sky you can clearly see twinkling, blinking from and to the inner sky were unidentifiable star “UFOs” in West Virginia. Yes, a shocking turn of events for me as a then twenty-year old journalism undergrad. Long story short, this world could either lie, confuse, deceive with an illusion, or simply expose the true reality of itself.

Why do humans view cryptids as creepy?

6/5/2023

Humans evolved around natural selection, meaning humans stay away from danger for survival. Cryptids come in all shapes and sizes. Eyewitnesses report Thunderbirds with a wingspan of forty feet, accounts of a bigfoot being ten feet tall, having tree trunk legs, and then we hear about the sharped-toothed Chupacabra that sucks blood. As well as the elusive and menacing Mothman creature spotted to have giant red bug eyes, these supernatural features could evoke fear. These eyewitnesses seem to have PTSD symptoms or an energetic excitement when it comes to these cryptids. On the other hand, some of these cryptids are stated to be beautiful, majestical, and kind. Differing eyewitnesses have categorized their sightings of the “Dogman” werewolf as both having beautiful coats of fur with amazing colors or activating their “flight or fight” reaction to something they fear. Mermaids are either said to look like awful, hideous sirens or have majestic Disney character-like features. The main reason humans are fearful of cryptids is because of the uncanny valley. This “Uncanney Valley” is a psychological term for when the appearance of a creature makes a person feel threatened, uncomfortable, and unnerved. Due to humans evolving with natural selection, anything unfamiliar to the eye will raise red flags in someone's psychology.

Why do people deny the paranormal?

6/4/2023

First, this question can be answered at the surface level: people are scared of the paranormal. The average person isn’t going to be willing to search out ghosts, bigfoot, or mermaids because they might be creepy. Humans are accustomed to various lifeforms outside of themselves. Humans own lifeforms as pets, engage them in zoos, or just eat them. Anything outside of that would be more entertainment for them or just random wildlife. Even if these paranormal lifeforms were on TV, a certain percentage of people can’t/won’t watch them. People use horror movies as an outlet for the supernatural in real life. To dive even deep into this analysis, these people could be eyewitnesses themselves. Eyewitnesses are the first to say don’t go out looking for them because of their terrifying experiences. They might also be the last person to watch another horror movie. The denial of paranormal activity is also allocated because of the lack of evidence in the paranormal itself. People aren’t inclined to get out of their comfort zone especially if they hold bias towards the topic as a whole. So, is the only way to stop paranormal activity denial to provide evidence?

How credible are paranormal investigators?

5/26/23

By this point, every person with a TV has channel surfed pasted countless ghost hunters, bigfoot believers, and Loch Ness monster researchers. Yet, as an unknowing citizen on the topic and why we should even trust a person claiming to found a ghost, it’s hard to believe. With television there are many jump cuts, editing shots, lighting (or lack thereof), and poor audio quality, it can’t be proven through mainstream TV time frames. Thinking of how many ghost-hunting shows there are in comparison to real ghost photos goes to show why people don’t believe and trust in their findings. In these scripted shows, people tend to act out of character to exaggerate their findings or create cheap, fast entertainment for gullible people. With that, the investigators themselves have to go through numerous credibility checks just so their evidence can be trusted. Once the public can trust the investigator it shouldn’t matter if they have a TV show, a YouTube channel, or just a homemade documentary on the paranormal. In order to make the best paranormal investigator, one must go off script, level with their viewers, and interact with the people watching. In this day and age, how can we improve the credibility of paranormal field researchers?

How will the media react to breaking news from the paranormal world?

5/16/2023

The paranormal world is often ridiculed with laughter, ignorance, and condescending attitudes from people that you’d think are unbiased. These paranormal aren’t covered on local news stations, world news outlets, or city newspapers. The biggest leap in paranormal news awareness spread was when UFOs crashed landed and the government made the media retract the article. These stories of “UFOS” are often the most popular stories from the paranormal world because they are seen all around the world. During the first sightings of UFOs in America, the government used various coverup techniques because they didn't want the media to share any news about paranormal topics with the public. In 2023, this topic about UFOs is taken more seriously now that pilots have seen them with the naked eye and the Pentagon confirms these reports. Now, the paranormal topic is more than just otherworldly aliens visiting and leaving without any evidence. The media has many distinct interactions with paranormal reports. For decades the news media reported on cryptids (mermaids, dragons, etc…) as if they knew the eyewitness was lying-if the story is even reported to the public at all. The media anchors only care about what the new station owner says. If there were to be breaking news about the discovery of dragons in China, for example, the only way to make the media care is to make the public pay attention to reports that aren’t biased towards thinking it’s faked.

Do supernatural incidents belong on this planet?

5/11/2023

Ever since the first recordings of human history, supernatural aspects persist in “normal”, and “non-eventful” daily lives. People live day-to-day in this society working jobs, studying in school, or any other typical daily occurrence. Yet, there are a handful of people in our society that go against the thread of normality, whether that be intentional or accidental. This world has constantly been trying to normalize these occurrences of paranormal activity that science cannot describe or explain. For instance, during the 1950/60’s the UFO and alien craze took over the newspapers and radio attention because it was indeed supernatural. A couple during those times named Betty and Barney Hill claimed to have been abducted by alien cryptids during a time when you would be killed for being in an in*******al marriage. In contemporary American society, we are just now being told what the government (scientists) think these UFOs/UAPs are. That's nearly six decades of silence from official sources such as the Pentagon or otherwise about a potential national threat on our territory. Now the question begs are these supernatural incidents, which science cannot explain, something to view as an undiscovered layer to the Earth as we perceive it?

Why do Native American legends still hold true for this land?

5/9/2023

This land began as a spiritual state of nature that only the Native Americans could understand. Being an indigenous person to any land, you should know about the animals of these lands. In fact, they did know about what could be out there because they ate or lived alongside them. According to Werewolves.com, the Navajo natives called the werewolf animal “Yee Naaldlooshii” which translates to “he goes on all fours”. There have been other names for the werewolf in Native American legend calling it “The Walking Wolf”. Beliefs in the supernatural are not foreign to these people. Beliefs such as in the Thunderbird, Skinwalker, and more were common amongst the Natives before Europeans spread Christianity among other beliefs to the land. Imagine living in a house until someone broke in and told you what everything was and was not is how belief systems changed with time. In today's world, people believe in whatever they want because no two people have the same exact belief system. In other words, what makes Christianity more valid to this land than Native American spirituality? Given that Natives believe in some sort of werewolf, who's to say they don’t exist today? Will practicing a more open mind in nature bring out the truth about supernatural incidents or beings?

Where could werewolves live in the state of Michigan?

5/6/23

Geography is as fundamental to history, culture, and society as a whole because it’s where everything takes place. The geography of Michigan-in a nutshell is two large peninsula land masses surrounded by five different lakes large-bodied lakes, with deciduous forests and hilly plains. This sounds like The Garden of Eden for any creature fortunate enough to inhabit this land. Before the imperialist European settlers made it to Michigan, it belonged to the Native Americans. Given that these creatures could be naturally occurring animals instead of human transformation, the possibility arises that The Michigan Dogman could have been first in this state. The French settlers were the first to immigrate to this region and legend goes that they brought The Michigan Dogman with them. French people come from a past of witch and werewolf hunting/trials during the time they immigrated. The Michigan land is enormous enough to not only house tens of millions of Americans in cities but also allotted land to nature. Outside of the cities of Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, etc… are smaller, rural cities and towns which have less human population density. Given that reports of The Michigan Dogman have been reported near high schools, railroad tracks, or apartment complexes, they mean they are close enough to city folk. Even if that’s not the case and they remain isolated entirely from human society they could live in National Forests/Parks, isolated wooded areas, or abandoned towns/houses. With all that said, can eyewitnesses and researchers conclude that werewolves are hiding in plain sight?

05/05/2023

Is “The Michigan Dogman” human or canine?

5/5/23

There is an urban legend throughout Michigan known as “The Michigan Dogman”. Starting out as a radio comedy sketch and later a folktale song, this urban legend does have legs to its existence when real-life people report seeing “them”. Them being the stereotypical wolf standing on two legs signifying the personification and intelligence of a human. There are many traits about these beings having “intelligent” moving eyes, the hands of a human, and even their skills of them. In Tom Slemen’s “The Haunted Liverpool”- the farmer said their eyes were “blue and seemed intelligent and almost humanlike.” Hearing these farfetched stories about a wolf not only standing up but also thinking like a human adds another level of strangeness to these tales. For example, a werewolf eyewitness spotted one of these creatures driving a car. Well, if any reasonable, sober person thought about that scenario for a second they would think it was untrue. Yet in many of these eyewitnesses reportings heard across the internet (YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, etc…), in the newspapers before the invention of the internet, or how it was popularized in Michigan over the radio stations. So, how will scientists one day categorize these cryptids? Would they be closer to humankind or canine?

Is The Government Creating Animal Hybrids/Chimeras?

8/1 ont
As recently as last year, the U.S. government still held voting on whether or not they should legalize human-animal chimeras. A Fox News article by Sam Dorman said, “The Senate narrowly rejected an amendment geared toward criminalizing participation in research that created certain chimeras, or human-animal hybrids, in the expectation that the federal government could lift a moratorium on funding for those projects. (May 2021)” This vote had 48 republicans in favor, while 49 democrats were against. This shows how this topic isn’t seen as horrific or unethical by nearly half of the government leaders in the Senate. From research, I’ve garnered that not only are the government and DARPA agencies researching this experimentation, but also universities such as Stanford University. Another Fox headline read “Stanford failed to disclose funding for research using fetal tissue in mice, the group alleges in NIH complaint”. In this study, they used human DNA to splice with mice genes. “Stanford's studies attempted to regenerate cartilage and identify a skeletal stem cell by implanting human tissue into mice. (April 2021)” This is a largely taboo topic that the deep state government hides from public attention. The only reason anyone should be concerned is if they used human DNA from an unknowing victim. This would be unethical for the person. I would also add that trying to create a chimera using a living subject would be unethical. Since it’s public knowledge that governments all across the globe have experimented with this, did they also create cryptids?

Are Cryptids Animal Hybrids?

8/15/2022

Animal hybrids are two different species of animal that have one offspring with similar traits to the parents. For example, you could have a polar bear and grizzly bear offspring called a “Grolar bear”. This hybrid has the claws and muzzle of a grizzly yet has polar bear fur. MSN articles say, “The hybrid is a short-furred bear that is more adept at handling hot temperatures than the grizzly. At the same time, it’s better at foraging for food that isn’t just the polar bear’s usual blubber-based diet.” This is pretty much a new sub-species of a bear. Animal hybrids come about from migration, zoo rehabilitation, or government experimentation. For instance, the killer bee was created from African and European bees to create new sub-species. This was done by human intervention. With that, humans have seen many cryptids that some would call hybrids of already existing animals. The Bigfoot is said to be a distant cousin of the ape/humans-a furred man that walks upright like a human yet furry and animalistic like an ape. The Mothman is said to be a giant moth-headed humanoid. Now, the werewolf that we have all heard about is said to have a human body with a large wolf or dog head. Eyewitnesses have also claimed that werewolves could have a bear body as well. Given that cryptid sightings have been reported for centuries before modern technology, how could they be government-made lifeforms? The reasoning would suggest that they are natural creatures they may have mated animals of the same family.

28/07/2022

Is there a connection between UFOs and cryptids?

7/28/2022

Paranormal activity is already strange enough on its own. Seeing a flying saucer the size of a football field is a great and unprecedented experience to have as it is. But as I read about more and more eyewitness encounters, a good portion of them see both a UFO and have a cryptid experience. Linda S. Godfrey, a lead dogman author/researcher, once said, “Some researchers have long noted associations between odd lights, UFOs, and other creatures such as Bigfoot. I have always pointed out that these associations can only be considered circumstantial unless there is a direct link between the two. (p.164)” Yes, not many, but eyewitnesses have to draw a correlation between cryptids and UFOs or strange lights. For one, I myself have had a similar encounter with UFOs during a trip to document dogman while traveling through West Virginia. Driving through Charleston, WV it was around 3 or 4 a.m. when I looked up to see a light show of UFOs. Similar to The Phoenix Lights, I see several (maybe 30-50) star-like objects low in the atmosphere and flashing in and out. I was on the sole purpose of figuring out the reality of dogmen in North Carolina. I had no concern about UFOs or aliens for that matter on this venture. Yet, many other eyewitnesses have seen both UFOs and a cryptid (i.e. Bigfoot appearing after seeing UFO flashing lights). So are UFOs bringing cryptids to Earth? Are UFOs projecting images of cryptids like werewolves or chupacabra? And what if there is causation of cryptid activity because of UFOs?

27/07/2022

Could “Dogman” be The Bigfoot?

7/27/2022

Everyone has heard about The Bigfoot urban legends to the point where it’s a household name. The Pattinson/Gimlin photograph is on posters, t-shirts, movies, etc… because it’s etched in our brains. I think this is why when people say they saw a werewolf/dogman creature people will say it was probably Bigfoot. For instance, in The Michigan Dogman book an eyewitness states, “It was on its toe pads; it was not a Bigfoot. (p.146)” Readers of the book wouldn’t have to read past chapter 5 for someone to tell you it wasn’t a Bigfoot. “It ain’t no bear, or man, or Bigfoot. (p. 33)” These differences are notable considering that people don’t know the creature they’re seeing. Author Linda S Godfrey goes further on this connection to werewolves and bigfoot by saying, “I’ve mentioned this before, but great apes, including humans (and presumably Bigfoot, have no tapetum lucidum, and therefore no true eye shine. (p.147)” A Bigfoot is unbelievable on its own, but when mentioning another urban legend, people would believe the first cryptid they hear about first. This is because of how normal Bigfoot is to the average person as opposed to chupacabras, Mothman, or any other strange, non-Bigfoot cryptid. With that, is there a connection between werewolf and Bigfoot? Or are they two separate cryptids?

26/07/2022

What do dogmen smell like?

7/25/2022

Most animals, objects for that matter, come with their own smell distinction. This doesn’t differ with the dogmen, as many eyewitnesses explain how they smelled or what they smelled like when they were around. One of my first dogman interviewees distinctly smelled what she saw that day when she encountered her werewolf. My witness smelled of a wet dog and a skunk smell. After this, she smells an “incredible smell” of blood, death, rotting flesh, and also leafy/grass odor. Sure, eyewitnesses recall the same or similar scents during the encounter yet it can vary from each encounter. For instance, an observer in The Michigan Dogman recalled the smell as an “old dog p*e in carpet, smelly, musky, like urine. (p. 122)” Long story short, everyone will notice a different thing because they’ve encountered different creatures from everyone else. In fact, some eyewitnesses say they didn’t notice a scent at all during their encounter. So, what would a cryptid creature that looks like a standing wolf, small fairy, mermaid, etc… smell like considering they “shouldn’t” exist?

Greetings everyone, this is Matthew of The Questioning Center with an update. This business will be more active once again with stories, eyewitness testimony, research, theories, and more. These articles will be written based on research from real-world sources (books, documents, government files, etc...) as done previously in on this page. The content will be tailored around the eyewitness accounts. Opinions on what these cryptids are will be labeled as such. Going forward, more face-to-face interviews, footage from forests/woodlands, and irl content will be posted here. Thank you for reading! #cryptids #bigfoot #ufology #ufos #werewolf #aliens #wolves #halloween #werewolves #fullmoon #horror #lycanthrope #twilight #vampire #area51 #cryptidsighting #mysterious #supernatural #urbanlegends #ghosts #sasquatch #mythical #extraterrestrial #freethinker #tqc #cryptids #paranormal #fairies #election2024 #journalism
