Paranormal News and Views

CREATURES:

Paranormal investigation: From Bigfoot to aliens
If legends and even many eyewitness accounts are to be believed, since ancient times we have shared our planet with various "man-beasts" - monsters that are more or less in our image. While monsters are often consigned to ancient legend and literary fiction, many are held to be in some sense real. Such paranormal beings (those beyond the normal range of science and human experience) include supernatural ones, such as the werewolf, as well as others (like the Yowie, Australia's version of Bigfoot) that, if they indeed exist, could be perfectly natural creatures...

Possible twist revealed in the 'Sierra Kills' Bigfoot incident
Mike Rugg of the Bigfoot Discovery Museum is discussing the Sierra Kills episode and reveals a tale told to him by a customer not long after the news broke on the incident.

Long-necked sea serpents in the Viking age

PARANORMAL MEDIA:

Spirit Voices
Spirit Voices is most certainly not your average book about chain-rattling spooks, shrieking specters and things that go bump in the night.

Review: The Bigfoot Hunter: Still Searching
Paranormal documentaries are just about a dime a dozen in todays world and finding a good one can be quite difficult. Luckily I had the opportunity recently to check out an early screening of the excellent film The Bigfoot Hunter: Still Searching. The documentary tells the story of Timothy Holmes founder of Southern Tier Bigfoot Watch and the Who Forted? Gang, in an earlier incarnation known as GHI or Ghost Hunters Incorporated, who joined him in the woods of southern New York in order to hunt the elusive cryptid...
