The Paranormal Ratio

As some of you know I'm more of a video blogger, I started this blog mainly to post ghost videos that I've found in my online travels. The problem is compared to UFOs, Bigfoot and others of the like, ghost footage comes in last in terms of the amount out there.

The top draw are UFO videos, there's so much available online and not just on youtube. You could possibly spend a life time watching it all. There's usually a new hot UFO video appearing online every other day.

The second I'd say are Bigfoot videos, even though most are faked. It seems that at least once a month there's a hot new Bigfoot video to talk about.

Which leaves Ghost footage in third place. Well I'd say there's a lot more photographs than the first two, but footage is hard to come by. One week you could have multiple new videos appearing online and then have a few months of nothing.

Well, I don't know where I was going with this, but it should give you an idea of why I post a lot of UFO videos on this blog, if I didn't I wouldn't know when my next post would be.

This has been a rant by Rand.

Manbeast! - Myth or Monster

The following clip is the opening sequence for the 1978 documentary Manbeast: Myth or Monster based on the book In Search of Myths and Monsters by Alan Lansburg.

My only questions are where can I see the rest, no use looking for the book, it seems like it's an antique and I wonder if they based the movie Strange Wilderness off of this.

Los Angeles, Zimbabwe, the Future and Bigfoot

It's been a long time since my last Boo Post, but I have a few things bookmarked that should get posted.

1942 'Battle Of Los Angeles'

First off a radio broadcast describing the event of "The Battle of Los Angeles", posting it because it's coool.


62 KIDS ENCOUNTER UFOS AND ALIENS BEINGS

The Vision of Children is the account of 62 children's contact with aliens in Zimbabwe, Africa, they seem kind of horrified by what they witnessed. Also cool.


Future is here

Here's a body spray commercial set in I figure, the not to distant future, it already feels like we're sitting on the edge of a place like this.


The Luxembourg Bigfoot REVEALED

I really liked the Luxembourg video, why did they have to go and reveal it to me. Anyway I always liked the scenario, bigfoot off in the distance, camera man gives chase, but never seems to catch up. Me, I think I'm stupid enough to chase after a bigfoot.



I knew these would sit around, so I thought I'd better boo post them before they beacame permanent fixtures of my bookmarks.

Stealth Cam Captures Unusual Footage

I was sent this link by email on behalf of The Blogsquatcher of The Blogsquatcher blog, the link is to a site called Hunt Tv and there's a video in the lower left hand corner tittled "Unusual Footage Caught on Stealth Cam".

The camera just briefly catches something just as it's leaving the cameras view, it looks like a Bigfoot like something or other.

Pretty interesting, the guy in the video seems pretty genuine, it would be cool if they did some follow up, maybe film some people at the same location for comparison of size etc.

I don't know how long the video will be up on Hunt TV, I couldn't find any video archives.

EDIT: Everything ends up on youtube eventually.

Unexplained sighting on hunting stealthcam...

G.Whifler Sasquatch Footage

This short click from some old T.V show a presume shows some Bigfoot footage I've never seen before, can't find anything online about it with the details provided on youtube.

The clip shows some pretty clear footage of a Sasquatch investigating the woods, as Bigfoot do, along with captions detailing the footage, such as who filmed it G.Whifler (whoever that is) and it's authenticity which is "unconfirmed - Probable Hoax". The narrator who I think is EDIT: Edward Mulhare (thanks to a comment on BFF) just talks about the general characteristics of Sasquatch while the film is played.

I'm kind of pleasantly surprised because this seems like old footage and I've never come across it before, I'm sure it's a fake, but the creature looks cool as, very slender and the legs look almost unnaturally long, though it has a few problems with simply glancing down.

For more history and discussion about the video check out the forum thread on BFF below.

G.Whifler Bigfoot Footage, Clip from an old T.V show I think. - The original uploader of the video has posted in this thread and given a lot more background info on the video, he also started another thread but I cant seem to link to it. Note, you may need to sign up the view it.

G.Whifler Sasquatch Footage

Why is it most Bigfoot videos look fake?

I've been thinking of this ever since I started this blog, why is it most Bigfoot videos look fake? and how would I fake it better?.

This is part one of a two part post, in this part I'll talk about what I think makes a basic fake Bigfoot video up to something genuine, part two will be about how I'd fake it better.

Usually for me what gives a fake away is the costume and obvious attempt to hide that fact. For me the the first thing I look for in any new footage is for constant head dipping, even Batman has a hard time looking through a mask, other things I like to look for are your usual costume traits, loose fitting, gloves and sleeves. When trying to hide the fact it's a costume people seem the make the footage have a long lead up with a brief glimpse of the creature, shot from far away, behind trees or whatever, it's never that clear, well unless it's just some people having loads of fun.

On a slightly smaller scale you do get footage where you can see they actually thought about making the costume look real instead of just slapping on a gorilla suit. They've filled it out so it's not so loose, they made a cool looking mask and even made proportions different than a humans, say longer arms. In the end I feel it comes off looking odd and unnatural, just a little over the top.


Then you have the footage that keeps on keeping on, this is footage that is so inconclusive that you can't tell either way if it's fake or not, but there's a great story behind it and because of this it stays around for a long time getting discussed. Most of the time the subject looks real enough, though the footage is usually blurry, brief though good enough to keep everyone wondering.

And lastly you have footage like the Patterson-Gimlin film, unsurpassed for over 40 years as being the best footage of Bigfoot ever, I feel due to it being just amazing footage, it's still discussed in both camps with passion to this day.

If you're going to fake it make it as daring and as genuine as the Patterson-Gimlin film.



End of Part 1
Stay tuned for part 2, How I'd fake it better. Ew that sounds dirty.

Romanian Bigfoot Photo

This photo was taken in Romania, you can read a little more about it over at Cryptomundo. Looks like man in a suit to me and also kind of like an action figure.

I don't know what it is but I'm always reading discussions about how it would be expensive to produce a realistic Bigfoot suit, something that could fool experts. I don't really accept that argument, I have a background in the arts and I've seen some pretty impressive creations from poor art students using materials found on the beach.

All that I feel would be needed is time, time for planning, time for sourcing materials and time for building.

Since I started this blog I've always had the idea of making a Bigfoot suit, but I'm sure that won't happen for a long time.

Update: Thanks to the Anonymous commenter in the comments below for this video, the subject looks awfully a lot like the one in the photos. I found a version on youtube, coz well I'm addicted to the place.

Who Let The Squatches Out?

Little drawing I did, just making a little fun of the recent figure of mars situation.
Oh and these aliens wear pants.

The Bigfoot Game

Classic Bigfoot board game commercial by Mego


This is an old commercial for a board game called Bigfoot, "even though you found his hiding place... he may not be there."

Long Sasquatch Video

Short/lightened version

Original Version.
Lighter Version.

The kid who filmed this video swears black and blue that it's legit, maybe I should start asking questions to the people who upload these videos to youtube.

In the description he says that he is tracking animals for a school project, the video starts out like that, eventually he finds some unusual man like footprints and decides to follow them which leads him to the Sasquatch, about 2 minutes into the video.

The live commentary seems a little geared towards something and the footprints have what looks like an ape thumb, pretty similar to what you'd find on a monkey costume IMO.

He swears it's real and it leads me to two ideas, if it is indeed his fake why would he support it so much, it doesn't seem like to much fun, especially judging from some of the comments he's getting. The second idea is why is good footage, meaning clear, long shots always almost instantly deemed fake when a 2 second smudge from a quarter mile away worthy of discussion.

I know context, history, details are important but what if great footage goes unnoticed because of first impressions.

Bigfoot Wars on Mars while Freeman Portals in Controversy

After a week and a half of neglecting my feed reader and with my bookmark blitz over I think it's time to take a look at what's been going on.

Arse!!! this is going to take ages... no probs, I'm cool wit it.

So apparently it's easier to photograph Bigfoot strolling around on mars. It does look like some sort of relic, but it's so just a natural rock formation, isn't it? Update: the things probably really tiny, like 10 inches tiny.

This headline stood out, Ancient Bigfoot Wars, great idea and I'd like to think they did so along side Jedi. Seriously though could it be possible?

The World’s Most Infamous Staged Photos, informative article about photo manipulation, not the photoshop kind but the misleading kind, includes some very famous images.

Now I'm freaked out by mice as much as the next person but the idea of a bull sized rodent would actually make that fear logical.

Wow not as much as I thought there would be, I'll leave y'all with a very special call-in to Coast to Coast AM from the one and only Gordon Freeman.

Gordon Freeman Calls Coast to Coast AM (Original)

Is this Blobsquatch?

There does seem to be a dark figure in this video, nice chase, but as far as evidence to the existence of Bigfoot, makes for a great story.

Possible Sasquatch Footage


Still on the blitz with old stock.

Could this be Bigfoot who stole Christmas

Or could it be the albino Grinch? The video seems like your average holiday movie, taking video of the Christmas lights to send to mom. The thing appears at the end of the video, it's white in color and has a very strange looking arm position, looks about the size of a person and not very Bigfoot like.

I just can't get the idea of someone stealing a TV out of my head.

Bigfoot? Maybe a Chupacabra thing?!

FOD - Oregon Bigfoot Video 2007

Fakes of the day

I say fake, but really there's no way of knowing unless I get a little more in depth, but first impressions to me say it's fake.

These videos have beautifully contrasting forest scenes and in making a fake I would have put the subject off in the distance to walk amongst the trees, the subject would have emerged from the shadows in the first video only to disappear as it walked across the scene. In the second video the light source would have made for a great Bigfoot silhouette with the shadow making it hard to determine any hard details.

I really think they are pretty, the setups cool to, kind of an over the shoulder action cam in parts.

The Big Paranormal Stories of 2007

With the end of the year fast approaching it's time to look back on what made the past year so special, for me a few things stick out, they may not the most paranormal stories of the year but they were huge items that took the paranormal and mainstream web by storm in 2007.

There are loads more big stories from 2007 but frankly I can't remember them all, feel free to add to the list with a comment.

The Italian Air Force UFO Video was one of the first big ones to hit early on in 07, it may even be from 2006? with its straight forward no nonsense realistic approach it quickly spread across the web as something spectacular. I don't know what conclusions were made but to me it's most probably computer generated, I certainly got a whole lot of traffic because of it.


The Drone photos left people thinking to good to be true, but over the weeks as more photos from seemingly different sources surfaced I think people started to wonder what if? Then came the Isaac documents which led to in depth analysis and discussions and then it all dried up. Well apart from the computer generated videos that seem almost as good as the photos.


ZEITGEIST the Movie has gone from strength to strength, with all the different versions floating about it's hard to gauge just how many people have seen it, maybe in the tens of millions. The movie dares to ask questions about religion, the terrible tragedy of 911 and how and who may be controlling our world. Presenting information in a way that lets you wonder about the truth yourself and to find your own good ideas.


The Haiti UFO Videos spread like butter on my morning toast, but was quick to be debunked by dedicated people who knew their shit, though through all the hype I don't feel that came across all to well. Something that didn't catch on like the main videos was the news that the creator had come forward. Seems like every fifth new UFO video on youtube is the haiti one.



The Jacob's Bigfoot photos I didn't follow all that much, but it was a huge story, my feed reader was full of headlines for this one and still is for that matter. It gained mainstream media attention, most of the time with a smirk. I still can't make out what it's doing or where the head is supposed to be, but I did see some overlays recently that made it make more sense.

The Gas Station Ghost is the baby of the lot, spreading and doing its thing. I find it unique, it's blue and does some strange things.


There are loads more but I probably don't remember them because I didn't follow them, Cryptomundo has a great list of The Top Ten Cryptozoology Stories for 2007.

If you have a list yourself, leave a comment with a link and I'll add it to this post.

Bigfoot Sounds on Video

I remember hearing some recordings of supposed Bigfoot sounds a while ago and it was some freaky shit, I can't remember where I heard them but I think they were similar to the sounds in the video below, only louder.

Looks like the videos done the rounds but I thought I'd post it anyway, Bigfoot's one of my fav subjects and I gotta catch em all.

It sounds almost artificial to me, but I know when I hear strange animal noises I get a case of the unbelievables.

Check out Cryptomundo for more info.

Bigfoot yell

Rome Cave, Bizarre Cow and Bigfoot attacks

Boo Post, been awhile.

Up late last night and I gave myself the creeps, first off the chairs in my dinning room which are usually nicely tucked under the table were all widely spread out, a little unusual, maybe people came over before I got home last night. Secondly I was in my bedroom with the door closed when all of a sudden it opened with a bang.

Nothing paranormal here just me spooking myself, I'm probably watching to many poltergeist videos.

Anyway here's whats been Paranormal today. I sift through so much news each day that I really should make use of it.

Lost cave found in Rome - "Italian archaeologists believe they have found the cave where, according to legend, a wolf suckled Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of Rome." I love these kinds of discoveries.

Have you Been Attacked by Bigfoot? - A pretty in depth guide explaining what to look for if you think you may have been attacked by Bigfoot, funny and informative at the same time.

Humanoid looking baby cow - It looks really bizarre.

Not that paranormal, but stories I didn't want to make individual posts about that I found interesting.

Yeren Sighting in Shennongjia

I hadn't ever heard of a Yeren before, basically it's a yeti, Bigfoot of China.

You can read all about the latest sighting over at Cryptomundo, pretty interesting.

Below is a short background video about the Yeren.

The Mysterious Yeren

What to do with Blobsquatch Videos

Post it I say, most are like this anyway. Found on youtube from a one video account with pretty much no information at all, what more can I say.

Bigfoot

Florida Skunk Ape Video

I can't make out anything at all in this video, that's why I'm posting about it. Why would someone go through the trouble to write up a good description and story behind a video, only to not be able to make out anything.

I don't know, if anyone can make out anything please let us know.

The video has a lot of image noise and from the description what they saw was human like only larger and had light-brown hair and took off when they tried to approach. It was shot in Florida so Skunk Ape comes to mind.

Is it just a lame hoax or could it be they saw something genuine but had bad luck with a crappy camera.
