THURSDAY NEWS is a regular feature covering paranormal, eerie, and weird recent news items.

From our friends at "Coast To Coast AM" comes this story from Tim Binnall:

A security system in Wales captured footage of an eerie anomaly in a woman's backyard and some suspect that the strange 'visitor' could have been a ghost. The perplexing scene reportedly unfolded earlier this year, though only came to light this past week.

The case began when homeowner Julie Byrne suspected that there was some kind of rodent roaming around her property, which led her to occasionally checking her security system in the hopes of spotting the critter in action. However, while reviewing the footage one morning, she was astounded to see a ghostly figure lingering in her backyard.

"It didn't register as a motion or an activity on the footage," she later recalled, "it was a shock." Although Byrne insisted that she does not believe in ghosts, the homeowner conceded that she cannot explain the spooky interloper in her yard.

To that end, she noted that the figure appears to go through a fence on her property, which would seemingly preclude a person with a light or a reflection. Byrne also dismissed the possibility that the anomaly could have been a spider or a similar insect made to look supernatural by way of a trick of light and shadow as she has previously noticed such bugs on the footage and marveled that "I've never seen anything like this before."

Although she remains an ardent skeptic when it comes to ghosts, Byrne revealed that the footage has led her to giving the concept something of a second thought, musing that "I think I believe more in spirits now." As for the identity of the perceived apparition, the homeowner did not have any particular suspect in mind, though she did liken its movements to an old man hunched over and "pottering around" the backyard.

Despite the footage possibly changing Byrne's opinion on ghosts, skeptics will no doubt argue that the 'spirit' is simply a camera glitch or the result of something similarly prosaic. With that in mind, what do you think of the weird footage?

This book by noted paranormal investigator Nick Redfern is a comprehensive resource on everything Bigfoot. With nearly 200 entries and 120 photographs, drawings, and illustrations, it is the definitive guide to understanding, hunting, and avoiding the creature, as well as discovering facts behind the sightings and horrifying tales.

It covers 400 years of folklore, mythology, history, and pop culture, including Native American lore and the “wild men” reports in the pages of 19th century American newspapers. Iterations of the beast are covered, like Florida's Myakka Skunk Ape, Australia's Yowie, China's Yeren, and Himalayas’ Yeti.

Redfern even covers entertainment examples like Harry and the Hendersons, the countless movies titled Bigfoot, as well as specials on the television shows Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel, and much more.

Redfern is the real deal and has been doing this a long time. If you’re into all things Bigfoot, this is your book!

MONSTER MONDAY!
Every Monday we present a monster of the week post.

This week’s monster is the Lusca.

Lusca is a name given to a sea monster reported from the Caribbean. It has been suggested by cryptozoologists that the Lusca is a gigantic octopus, far larger than the known giant octopuses of the genus Enteroctopus and giant squids, the legend also said that it was half-shark and half-octopus. Many reports of the creature are from the blue holes, off Andros, an island in the Bahamas.

The Lusca is said to grow over 75 feet long, or even 200 feet long, however there are no proven cases of other octopus species growing up to even half these lengths. To attack properly on the surface, the octopus would have to have one te****le on the sea floor to balance itself; this would mean that such accounts, if real, would have to take place in relatively shallow water.

Although the general identification of the Lusca is with the colossal octopus, it has also been described as either a multi-headed monster, a dragon-like creature, or some kind of evil spirit. The History Channel's MonsterQuest featured the Lusca in the Series 2 episode "Boneless Horror."

THURSDAY NEWS is a regular feature covering paranormal, eerie, and weird recent news items.

From our friends at "Coast To Coast AM" comes this story from Tim Binnall:

In a jaw-dropping moment at a Mexican Congressional hearing on the UFO phenomenon, a prominent researcher in the country unveiled a pair of alleged alien bodies said to have been recovered from a cave in Peru. The astounding specimens were reportedly presented to assembled politicians by ufologist and journalist Jaime Maussan on Tuesday in Mexico City.

Displayed in two separate boxes, the eerie remains somewhat resemble the classic depiction of a grey alien as they are diminutive in nature, sport sizeable heads, and feature only three fingers on each hand. While testifying under oath, Maussan argued that the odd bodies are "a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world."

Making the case for that fantastic scenario, the UFO researcher claimed that testing on the remains determined that more than 30% of their DNA was "unknown." He also asserted that carbon dating on the bodies found that they are around 700 to 1,000 years old.

Intriguingly, x-rays of the mysterious entities were also displayed during the presentation and the scans showed that they contained some kind of metal implant as well as, in one of their bodies, what appeared to be eggs. While Maussan conceded that "we don't know" if the beings are genuine aliens, he theorized that "they were intelligent and they lived with us" and, as such, "they should rewrite history."

The stunning presentation has understandably sparked headlines around the globe with some online observers incorrectly drawing the conclusion that it constituted official 'alien disclosure' from the Mexican government when, in fact, it was just Maussan's personal testimony alongside experts that he had assembled for the event.

As such, one would be wise to temper their expectations and excitement at this time until further tests on the bodies can be completed as he has previously made similar claims concerning mummified alien bodies found in Peru which ultimately did not turn out to be extraterrestrial in nature. With that in mind, what do you make of Maussan's remarkable reveal?

Mexico could become the first country to declare the existence of alien life after its Congress was supposedly presented with the bodies of extra-terrestrial...

The Proof Is Out There – TV

Hosted by veteran TV journalist Tony Harris, the non-fiction series takes an in-depth look at some of the most incredible and thought-provoking videos of unexplained phenomena and mysterious must-see moments.

Each one-hour episode explores and analyzes the full story of irregularity in question, from the latest UFO video leak from the Department of Homeland Security to a long-extinct species caught on camera to mysterious stone carvings in Japan and more.

Harris, alongside a team of top experts, evaluates each video to get to the bottom of what’s real, what’s fake and everything in between. The series uncovers new details surrounding the world’s most extraordinary anomalies and seeks to answer the question, is the proof out there?

I am a huge fan of this show in general, and host Tony Harris in particular!!! It is one of the few paranormal shows out there that actually does a thorough review and analysis of submitted “proof”, usually rendering a verdict of hoax, fake, or unknown. Although sometimes they will confirm a UFO or “unknown creature”.

This one receives my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

MONSTER MONDAY!
Every Monday we present a monster of the week post.

This week’s monster is the Flying Man of Falls City.

Falls City is in Richardson County, Nebraska - and it was the site of a bizarre encounter with what was described as a 'demonic' creature. This alleged demon appeared to be clad in some kind of a mechanical harness allowing it to fly through the air. It was a close encounter of the terrifying kind.

John Hanks was out late one night in the latter months of 1956 when he came face-to-face with a 9-foot-tall creature unlike anything he had ever seen before. His case was investigated by Ken Gerhard - an expert on flying humanoid encounters - who said what Hanks claimed to have seen was like something straight out of the works of HP Lovecraft.

Multicolored lights spanned the undersides of the monster's 15ft wings, illuminating the fact that they appeared to be made from a shiny metal like aluminum. These wings seemed to be strapped to the entity's body, and some kind of panel sat in the middle of the creature's chest.

Hanks speculated this contained a control mechanism of sorts, which could be used to manage the creature’s flight. The creature emitted an eerie hiss which sent chills rushing up and down the spine of the terrified witness.

The most frightening aspect of this happening was the appearance of the monster's face. It was described as having large and 'watery' eyes which stared at Hanks with pure malice. Its skin was brown and battered, being compared to leather. These horrific features were what prompted Hanks to speculate that the critter before him must've been something from the depths of hell.

After the creature coming face to face with the witness, it quickly to to the air and vanished. It has never been seen again in Falls City.

THURSDAY NEWS is a regular feature covering paranormal, eerie, and weird recent news items.

From our friends at "Coast To Coast AM" comes this story from Tim Binnall:

A police officer in Malaysia captured footage of what he claims to be a legendary 'vampire ghost' known as a Pontianak. According to a local media report, the peculiar video was posted online by an individual identified as Ikhmal, who works as a cop in the city of Johor Baru.

While recently out on patrol with his partner, he said, the pair heard some puzzling sounds emanating from a prohibited area. Upon investigating the situation, the two officers were stunned to see an eerie-looking woman dressed in white and they immediately recognized the figure as a Pontianak, which is a vengeful vampiric spirit that has long been feared in Malaysian folklore.

Despite being surprised by what they had encountered, Ikhmal pulled out his cell phone to capture the unsettling sighting and subsequently shared the footage on social media, where it quickly went viral in the country. While many people responded with their own tales of encountering a Pontianak or something similarly paranormal, more dubious observers asserted that the cop had simply created a fake video to boost his online presence. To that end, the officer conceded that "it's up to the viewers to believe it or vice versa because it's each person's right," but insisted that he had no reason to fabricate the scene as "I myself went through it."

Although Ikhmal says that the incident was the first time he had stumbled upon a Pontianak during a patrol, he indicated that the perceived presence of the entity is a recurring aspect of his job. "The sound of disturbance is common, especially when on duty at night and early in the morning," he explained, "in fact, old people have also told their experiences of encountering this creature."

However, he noted that in those instances, "they only saw it, but didn't record it." With that in mind, what do you think Ikhmal filmed while out on patrol? Is it a genuine Pontianak or is the police officer weaving a tall tale?

Ghosts of the Queen Mary (Haunted America) - Book

From the Amazon description: “For thirty-one years, the RMS Queen Mary sailed the North Atlantic. It helped defeat Hi**er and was the ship of choice for the world's rich and famous. Now in retirement in the Port of Long Beach, the 'Stateliest Ship Afloat' plays host to tourists, travelers and more than six hundred spirits that roam her halls and passageways.

“These choice decks remain the floating home of a few regulars, including the oft-glimpsed White Lady, as well as Little Jackie, John Henry and, of course, Grumpy. Join paranormal investigators Brian Clune and Bob Davis as they take you to the hot spots of activity from port to starboard and relate tales from the dockside about the spirits that haunt the grandest liner ever built.”

Recently, we did an episode of the podcast on the ghosts residing on the Queen Mary. This is very good coverage of many of the best stories of ghostly encounters on the ship.

MONSTER MONDAY!
Every Monday we present a monster of the week post.

This week’s monster is the Smiling Man.

It originated as a short creepypasta written by l.S. Riley. It was originally published by him on Reddit's Lets-Not-Meet Forum in April 2012 under the username bluetidal. The story is disturbing and eerie!

An unnamed man has trouble sleeping. So as not to disturb his roommate by staying up in their apartment, he takes long walks in the city in the middle of the night. On one walk, he turns onto a side street and encounters a strange man who can't stop smiling, all the while performing a weird, disturbing dance.

It is one of the most famous examples of creepypasta…and if you want to hear the actual tale of the Smiling Man, check out Season 3 Episode 39 of the podcast.

From our friends at "Coast To Coast AM" comes this story from Tim Binnall:

Residents of a village in Peru claim that they are being terrorized by mysterious beings that some have suggested are aliens and their peculiar predicament has led to authorities descending on the community in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the eerie invasion.

According to a local media report, the very strange case began last month when people living in the district of Alto Nanay began encountering the odd interlopers who seemingly displayed the ability to levitate. "These gentlemen are aliens. They seem armored like the Green Goblin from Spider-Man," declared community leader Jairo Reátegui Ávila, who went on to explain that "I have shot him twice and he does not fall, but rises and disappears. We are frightened by what is happening."

He went on to describe the mysterious entities as being silver in color with long heads and eyes that are "half yellowish." As to their purported powers, Ávila observed that the six-and-a-half-foot tall beings appear to sport shoes which allow them to levitate around three feet in the air. Despite their best attempts to counteract the curious visitors, he lamented that "they are experts at escaping."

Concern in the community over the unsettling situation recently reached a fever pitch when a teenage girl was allegedly attacked by one of the suspected aliens and sustained cuts around her neck as a result of the unnerving encounter.

With the visitors turning aggressive, residents understandably called upon authorities to intervene in the matter and rid their village of the pesky floating entities. In response, the Peruvian government reportedly dispatched a special police force and members of the country's Navy to the community to look into the very weird situation. Authorities interviewed multiple residents, including the teenage girl who is said to have been attacked, about the mysterious beings, but have come to no conclusion about the case which is said to still be under investigation.

Meanwhile, some members of the community have formed armed posses to patrol the streets at night to thwart any further attacks from the visitors.

Celebrity Ghost Stories - TV Show

Celebrity Ghost Stories is an American paranormal reality television series that debuted on October 3, 2009. Celebrity Ghost Stories interviews various celebrities who talk about paranormal events that have happened in their lives. A spin-off, The Haunting Of, features footage from the series and follows the celebrities as they go back to the places of their haunted experiences to find out the truth.

On February 18, 2020, it was announced that the sixth season would premiere on April 8, 2020. However, the new series was formatted to follow along the lines of "The Haunting Of" with psychic medium Kim Russo taking celebrities back to the scenes of their encounters, rather than the original series format of different celebrities telling stories of their own paranormal encounters.

The series ran for six seasons and has many notable celebrities recalling supernatural events in their lives. Celebrities like David Carradine, Alice Cooper, Carrie Fisher, Joan Rivers, Daryl Hannah, Chaka Khan, Ice-T, Terry Bradshaw and many more tell compelling stories and come across as very serious about their experiences. A fun and interesting show!

MONSTER MONDAY!
Every Monday we present a monster of the week post.

This week’s monster is the Slender Man.

The Slender Man is a supernatural creature with mysterious defined characteristics and abilities. Slender Man was first mentioned in Something Awful Forum's "Create Paranormal Images". Although he initially began as a fictional creation, people soon began reporting they had actually encountered him, leading to speculation he might have been willed into existence in the physical world by believers exercising a kind of mass communal consciousness.

In almost every description of the Slender Man, his attributes will vary, sometimes greatly. However, his basic appearance and traits are relatively consistent across different accounts. His appearance has changed over the years, but the most common image – and the most well known in media– is that of an abnormally tall human with long arms and a totally blank face.

Slender Man has been depicted at anywhere between 6 and 15 feet tall, depending on the situation. Because of his inexact nature, and differences between accounts, no one has yet determined what, exactly, the Slender Man is.

He behaves in a passive-aggressive manner, often stalking targets for years at a time before ever attacking. He tends to torture his targets mentally, over long periods of time, using fear and paranoia to drive them to insanity.

No one has ever satisfactorily explained the reasoning behind his tactics or the way he chooses his victims, and his purposes and motivations are unknown. He is rarely, if ever, portrayed in a good or benign light and is generally understood to be a malevolent force.

From our friends at "Coast To Coast AM" comes this story from Tim Binnall:

A Bigfoot research group on an expedition searching for the famed cryptid captured footage of what may be the elusive creature peering out from behind a tree. The intriguing video was reportedly recorded last month by the organization Rocky Mountain Sasquatch as they were exploring what is said to be a Bigfoot hot spot located on the Garnet mountain range in Montana.

During their visit, the group spotted several tantalizing tracks of 19-inch-long footprints seemingly leading to and from a creek and also heard vocalizations that appeared to be coming from different directions. When they later uploaded footage from the expedition to YouTube, multiple viewers noticed something rather unusual that made them suspect that perhaps Sasquatch had been watching the group.

In the video, something resembling a sizeable dark figure can briefly be seen emerging from the side of the tree as if it were furtively looking towards the camera.
Conceding that they normally would have "just shrugged off" the difficult to decipher moment that lasted only a few seconds, the group mused that the "amazing Bigfoot trackways we found that day and then the vocalizations that prompted up to point the camera in that direction" left them wondering if perhaps they had unknowingly caught a glimpse of the creature during their expedition. What do you make of the mystifying video?

The Michigan Dogman: Werewolves and Other Unknown Canines Across the U.S.A. - Book

This is a terrific book by Linda Godfrey, who sadly passed away earlier this year. I highly recommend it! From the Amazon description:

“They look like werewolves, but are they? They stand six-feet tall, are covered in fur, and possess both a wolf-like head and the ability to walk upright. Whatever one chooses to call them--werewolf, dogman or manwolf--an astonishing number of witnesses across the U.S.A. have encountered these creatures on roadsides, in the woods, and near their own homes.

“They swear the unknown canines are as menacing as they are real. And if these creatures aren't werewolves, what could they be? In her third book about this continuing mystery, author and investigator Linda Godfrey takes readers on a state-by-state creature hunt, exploring many new and shocking reports and leaving no bone unturned in her search for the beast's true nature.”

Linda is missed! She was a great journalistic investigator and singlehandedly brought the Beast of Bray Road – a localized series of sightings of a werewolf-like beast – to national prominence. This book, like all of her works, is highly recommended!

MONSTER MONDAY!
Every Monday we present a monster of the week post.

This week’s monster is the Alaska Killer Bigfoot.

Alaskan natives were driven from their village by a creature they believed to be a bigfoot. No one has been back. Because of dwindling resources, they sent a scouting party to see if it's safe. A Discovery Channel TV show followed the team they hired as they tried to determine what is going on in the area.

Ash Naderhoff, Keith Seville, Noah Craig, DJ Brewster, and Kyle McDowell explored Portlock, Alaska, an uninhabited town in which natives were driven out by a mysterious and deadly creature over 70 years ago. They named the creature Nantinaq.

The town of Portlock, Alaska was established in the 19th century as a cannery, particularly for salmon. However in the 1940s, Portlock became a ghost town, as a terrifying bigfoot-like creature known as Nantinaq chased all the villagers out.

The team was never able to come up with any proof of the creature, though like many such endeavors they did see broken tree limbs, strange prints in the soft ground, and weird vocal sounds coming from the woods.

From our friends at "Coast To Coast AM" comes this story from Tim Binnall:

A homeowner in California was left mystified when his backyard security camera filmed a truly bizarre-looking UFO streak across the night sky. According to a local media report, the perplexing scene was captured last Wednesday evening outside Hipolito Ramos' residence in the community of Kingsburg.

Alerted to a disturbance by way of the motion-sensor security system, when he checked his phone to see what the camera had picked up, he was surprised to see a very weird-looking object almost bouncing across the horizon. "I thought it was a shooting star initially," Ramos recalled, "and then I looked closer, and it started zigging and zagging on its trajectory."

What is particularly puzzling about the object is its unique appearance as the front of it appears to glow and it sports something of an 'aura,' but much of the anomaly is shrouded by what resembles a dark plasma cloud. Musing that the UFO is "something different than I've ever seen," Ramos conceded that he has "no clue what this is," though did entertain the possibility that it was alien in nature.

More skeptical viewers will no doubt suggest that the curious 'camouflage' is simply some kind of digital artifact, though that does not explain what the glowing object could have been. With that in mind, what do you think Ramos' security camera caught on film?

A Kingsburg resident is now looking at his camera footage questioning what he captured on Wednesday night around 10:09 p.m.Story: https://kmph.com/news/local...

The Pope’s Exorcist – Movie

This movie follows Priest Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican's leading exorcist, as he investigates the possession of a child and uncovers a conspiracy the Vatican has tried to keep secret. The 2023 film is scary – seriously, aren’t most demon possession flicks?

The thing that elevates this movie is there really is a Gabriele Amorth! It is based on the 1990 book An Exorcist Tells His Story and the 1992 book An Exorcist: More Stories by Father Gabriele Amorth.

The film stars Russell Crowe as Amorth, and he does a nice job here, though his Italian accent could use some work. But the conspiracy hokum seems almost an afterthought in the script and adds little to the film, drawing attention away from what we all want to really see – the epic and eternal battle between good and evil.

MONSTER MONDAY!
Every Monday we present a monster of the week post.

This week’s monster is the Lake Hopatcong Monster.

This sea serpent is a prime member of New Jersey’s urban legends. Locals have debated whether the serpent is real, attributing the sightings that started in the late 1800s to mud turtles, dogs, or even beer kegs. Lake Hopatcong is home to eels, large fish, and even minks, so it seems reasonable to attribute it to normal local wildlife.

But as time passed, Sussex County’s very own “Nessie” soon grew from foe to friend, with locals learning to appreciate the beast’s engagement with communities. in 2014, all of that changed.

Sudden panic occurred in New Jersey as a new report of a serpent-like creature swimming around Lake Hopatcong surfaced. Locals spotted the creature in the same areas as legends said the sea serpent resides, causing a new wave of discussion over its existence. Stories of “Hoppie” began circulating the media, explaining its terrifying appearance and threatening nature.

Whether or not you believe the tales, they do remain famous in New Jersey. But, if you find yourself on the lake’s shoreline – especially at night – be extra cautious and try to keep in mind there may be something unknown lurking in the depths just out of sight.

THURSDAY NEWS is a regular feature covering paranormal, eerie, and weird recent news items.

From our friends at "Coast To Coast AM" comes this story from Tim Binnall:

A peculiar piece of footage from a security camera in Guatemala shows a ghostly anomaly manifest in the middle of a road just seconds before a motorcycle reaches the spot and crashes. The spooky scene was reportedly captured early Sunday morning in the community of Ciudad Vieja.

Remarkably, the video was subsequently shared on social media by town officials, who asked residents for their thoughts on what had unfolded. Specifically, they point to a pair of glowing forms that appear in the road before vanishing just as the motorcycle reaches them and then inexplicably veers off the road.

As one might imagine, many online observers were quick to suggest the illuminated anomalies in the road were paranormal in nature with some postulating that perhaps that spot in the road is haunted, while others speculated the weird forms were some kind of supernatural warning to the motorcyclist.

Meanwhile, skeptical viewers argued that the 'ghost' is merely a trick of light and shadow that may have been created by the approaching motorcycle. Should that be the case, the theory ought to be able to be confirmed by looking at previous security camera footage, though such an investigation has seemingly yet to occur. With that in mind, do you think the crash was caused by a ghost or is it merely an eerie coincidence?
