US Congressman reveals UFO sightings underwater
By Louise Bonquin
Published 21 October 2025, 9:05 PM BST


A prominent congressman has sparked shockwaves by claiming aliens came to Earth thousands of years ago and may still be hiding in mysterious bases deep beneath our oceans!

Rep. Tim Burchett, an American politician who is the U.S. representative for Tennessee s 2nd congressional district, has long shown interest in unexplained aerial and underwater phenomena.

He recently disclosed that naval personnel have reported many encounters with unidentified crafts moving deep below the ocean at extraordinary speeds - far exceeding the typical power of any known submarine. The lawmaker suggested that these unidentified objects could be hidden bases under the sea.

Did the Navy Just Discover Alien Bases Underwater? Burchett Suggests They Exist

Burchett s revelations raised unsettling questions about what the US government really knows about the hidden areas of Earth s deep waters. Has the Navy stumbled upon alien bases under the ocean? He said there are eyewitness accounts from naval officers confirming mysterious crafts are moving deep below the surface, as per the report.

The congressman shared that a Navy officer had informed him about sightings of strange vessels deep in the water. His astounding statement was based on the remarkable number of UFO sightings set down in writing by the said American Navy officials, who said there were five or six bizarre underwater sites that extraterrestrial beings might be inhabiting in submerged bases off the United States coastline. He added that the unidentified objects are the size of a football field, so it is definitely not a fish.

We have a very high-ranking member of the Navy telling me that we have sightings of these underwater crafts that they are chasing, Burchett said in an interview with Tucker Carlson. The underwater crafts - they re chasing are doing hundreds of miles an hour, and the best we ve got is something that does maybe just a little bit under 40 miles an hour.

Finding More Evidence and Why It is Crucial to Reveal the Truth

Rep. Burchett, who serves on the House Oversight Committee examining reports of unidentified submerged objects (USOs), says the investigation has only led to more questions than answers. As findings continue to unfold, the committee is now turning its attention to one pressing possibility — whether secret alien bases could be concealed deep beneath the ocean s surface.

He also emphasized the need for further investigation into these phenomena and claims of eyewitnesses. He noted that occurrences like these are usually dismissed or covered up by the government, but he believes the public deserves to know the truth of what is out there.

Some experts are skeptical about the claims because there is no verifiable evidence linked to the supposed underwater alien bases. Thus, many are calling for government agencies to be transparent about their findings on aliens.

Even if only a few of these reports are true, the impact could be huge. From a security point of view, any craft moving hundreds of miles per hour underwater would be far more advanced than today s submarines and could create a major defense concern. As one retired admiral explained, these strange underwater sightings could become a real threat to naval security.

Moreover, an unknown object or craft moving underwater would challenge what we currently know about physics, engineering, and how things work in the ocean. So far, there has been no official confirmation or solid proof shared with the public about these reported underwater UFO sightings. However, the story is still unfolding, and more details could come out in the weeks ahead.

Since the 1600’s, tales of a mysterious sea serpent named Champ, named after explorer Samuel de Champlain, have been part of the folklore of the Lake Champlain region. The lake borders New York and Vermont. Champlain and the Abenaki tribe were the first sightings of Champ in the historical record.

Champ remained elusive. The only notable visual evidence was a photo taken in 1977 by Sandra Mansi.

Until now. 

For the first time in history, a video that allegedly captures the legendary lake monster on film is being hailed as the “most notable visual evidence” of Champ. Some compare it’s impact to the Patterson-Gimlin film impact on the Bigfoot cryptozoology community.

Independent filmmakers Kelly Tabor and Richard Rossi were shooting a fictional film ‘Lucy and the Lake Monster‘ about a 9-year-old girl and her grandfather looking for Champ, a legendary lake monster rumored to live and lurk in the murky waters of Lake Champlain.  The film is based on their bestselling book of the same title.

A poignant scene in the fictional film features the grandfather, “Papa Jerry,” (played by actor-director Richard Rossi), reading a passage about the mighty Leviathan sea serpent from the forty-first chapter of the Book of Job to his granddaughter Lucy (played by actress Emma Pearson).

Hopes were high they would see Camp surface while they were shooting. “We never saw Champ surface out of the water,” Tabor said. “But God had a surprise waiting for us. He did it in a different way than we expected. Through our drone we saw him swimming under the water, not surfacing above the water.”

As part of their shoot, their cameraman sent a drone above the lake in Bulwagga Bay, and what they saw in post-production stunned them.

They posted ten seconds of what is now known as the Tabor-Rossi footage on YouTube and 36,000 views later, it has provoked discussion and debate about what appears to some to be a plesiosaur swimming below the lake’s surface, behind a boat containing the two lead actors in their film, Emma Pearson and Richard Rossi.  The footage of the plesiosaur, (plesiosaurs are a sea creature from the dinosaur-dominated Mesozoic era), can be seen here: 

Tabor and Rossi’s recent interview on the Cryptid Creature podcast was posted on Spotify. The duo submitted their footage and story for assessment by the two hosts, Todd Stevens and Brian Brock.  Stevens eloquently summed up his conclusion, affirming the veracity of the footage.

“The creature is bigger than the boat, fifty yards behind the boat, Stevens said.  ”It has a plesiosaur body. It is not sturgeon, or multiple sturgeon. It is one large body moving.” The entire Cryptid Creatures interview with Tabor and Rossi can be heard here.

Tabor first spotted the creature in the footage, editing on her large screen T.V.  ”It’s poetic that Kelly saw it first,” Rossi said. “She has been looking for Champ for over fifty years.” Tabor grew up in a cabin on Lake Champlain in Crown Point, New York.

“We inadvertently caught this on camera,” Tabor said. “We weren’t trying to.”

If Kelly Tabor is the true believer of the screenwriting team, her writing partner Richard Rossi is the Doubting Thomas, insisting on the footage being evaluated by scientists with a doctorate in science and to prepare a report for peer review in 2025.

“I’m the more skeptical one compared to Kelly,” Rossi said.  ”But there’s definitely something there.”

The filmmaking crew was so busy filming the movie, they didn’t catch the anomaly in the footage until later, in the post-production editing stage.

Multiple versions of their footage are now on Pinterest and YouTube as cryptozoologists use their tech savvy to zoom in on the Champ image, and use coloring to do morphological enhancements and evaluations.  

The Tabor-Rossi Champ footage is incorporated into their fictional film, ‘Lucy and the Lake Monster,’ at about the four-minute mark of the film. The movie has screened in theaters in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Pennsylvania, California, and South Carolina.  This month, it won 12 awards in film festivals.  It will be released on DVD and streaming next year.

“As filmmakers, our primary focus is on the art form itself.  We don’t respond too much to the debate around the footage,” Rossi said. “We try to focus on doing the best job we can in our screenwriting, acting, cinematography, and music.  It’s nice that Champ has blessed us with the benefits of headlines that let people know about our book and the film, but at the end of the day, our focus is on showing the film and writing the next sequel. Champ has been a great publicist.”

“Champ is also one of the biggest stars in our new film,” Tabor added.

Their ‘Lucy and the Lake Monster’ film ends with actress Emma Pearson reading her poem that is a paean to Champ: 

“Champ is not just an animal, or a monster to fear

He is a fellow divine creature, and his home is right here.“

A National Weather Service photo from Pennsylvania caused observers to do a double-take as there appears to be a Bigfoot lurking in the background of the picture. The eyebrow-raising image was reportedly snapped last week as part of a storm damage survey in Fayette County following some severe weather that swept through the area. Among the photos of downed trees and other disturbances was one image in particular (seen above), that left some wondering if the effort accidentally captured a glimpse of Bigfoot.

Those living in Killearn have been discussing the odd sight - which was captured by local man Jimmy Wright while out walking his son s dog.

A mystery creature has been spotted in Killearn.

People in the west Stirlingshire village of Killearn could be giving Loch Ness a run for its money.

Main Street resident Jimmy Wright (66) snapped this odd sight while walking his son’s dog on Crow Hill - known locally as ‘the cowfield’.

Jimmy told the Observer: “I put it on Facebook - but I was taken aback at just how much response it received. It definitely has people talking.”

People have already likened it to part tortoise, part stoat and various other creatures.

“When I came towards it,” said Jimmy, who retired as an NHS general manager for mental health services in Glasgow in 2006, “I was struck by how prolific it was and took a picture. I thought it looked like a dinosaur. I have been up that way before but the sight was definitely unexpected. I put it on the Killearn For All Facebook page and the comments began.

“One resident, Mary Young, suggested we try to get someone to name it so I agreed to donate £100 to the charity of choice of the person who comes up with the name with the most ‘likes’.

“My cousin from Canada - who happens to be an ophthalmic optician - even commented three times.

“There have been lots of suggestions and Nessie Dorma seems to be ahead at the moment but more are coming in.

“At the end of the day if it gets people talking and gives everyone a bit of escape from all the bad news there seems to be at the moment then it’s all good. If it brightens up someone’s day and makes some money for charity all the better.”

Mary Young added: “We could reinvent Killearn on the strength of this wonderful sight, save the Black Bull and re-open the Spar as a Killearn Nessie Gift Shop!

“There have been quite a few names put forward so far but the competition will run until July 25 to give those on holiday a chance to see it and contribute.”

Essentially, they discovered the fact that a mysterious vortex formed right above their station, one that strangely enough appeared right next to a mysterious pyramid that disappeared after the pyramid was gone.  

The scientists claimed that the climate and the mountains here could be used to hide even more pyramids, stargates, and interdimensional portals and that the vortex could have been a defense mechanism for when someone unauthorized finds one such pyramid.

The team also uncovered the disappearance of many people in the area followed by UFO encounters. This didn’t happen in the 80s either, it actually happened back in March of 2019.       

They first believed that it could all just be the result of a polar storm but as they got closer and closer to the truth, they couldn’t help but notice the strange phenomenon for what it really was.   

They even said that as far as they can tell Antarctica could have been used to hide a massive stargate which could easily lead to other dimensions.        

Another popular theory is that all of these phenomena are actually orchestrated by an ancient civilization that lives underneath the ice of Antarctica. 

What do you think?

Ian Lenahan and Camille Fine, USA TODAY
Wed, October 25, 2023 at 12:53 PM EDT·5 min read

PORTSMOUTH — Spooky season is in full swing, and the owners of one New England restaurant in a small seaside city believe their security camera may have captured a wandering ghost.

This week, the owners and staff of Library Restaurant in the historic Rockingham Hotel in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, encountered a burglar alarm activation at 2:29 a.m. Tuesday inside the restaurant’s Gold Room bar lounge.

Adrienne and Paul Waterman, the married couple who own the restaurant and reside in the building, checked all 14 security cameras they had installed. None detected any motion in the building, and Portsmouth police located nobody within the premises upon arrival.

One outdoor camera hanging above the hotel’s famed lion statues, however, captured a vapory, mist-like presence passing by the device at the exact moment the burglar alarm sounded. Footage shows the presence blows through from right to left and briefly whooshes past again just before city police show up, resembling the “Ghostbusters.”

See the moment captured on video:



Video is inexplicable
Can it be explained? Adrienne Waterman, who said she is a ghost skeptic, is having a hard time wrapping her head around it.

“I am an engineer. I deal only in facts. This is inexplicable,” she said.

Rockingham Hotel s haunted history
The Watermans bought the restaurant, open since 1975, for $3 million in February, and immediately installed the new security cameras. Not once have they gone off before Tuesday morning, Waterman said.

The Library’s co-owner stayed up for hours after the alarm, trying to piece together bits of information. An app on her phone allows her to see each security camera in the building and whether the cameras caught any motion in the building.

None did aside from the outdoor camera, which would not have set off the burglar alarm activation without a breach of the building.

“I’ve learned that suddenly I’m nervous about ghosts that I never believed existed. I don’t want to be the one turning on the lights anymore,” Waterman quipped.

The Rockingham Hotel is one of the city’s most prominent properties, and has a history of haunted happenings. It s also a frequent stop for haunted tours. Waterman learned of the famed hotel’s paranormal past through Roxie Zwicker, owner of New England Curiosities ghost tours, and has heard stories of spirits that linger inside the hotel building.

Family of prominent politician built home on-site
In 1785, Judge Woodbury Langdon, brother to Gov. John Langdon, built a home for his family on-site. He was married to Sarah Sherburne and had 10 children.

One spirit believed to roam the Rockingham is Sherburne’s, who was rumored to have had an affair with Revolutionary War naval commander John Paul Jones, according to Waterman s research.

“The local gossip and the witch hunting began about her reputation, then she died,” Waterman said. “Now the rumor is that she floats around (feeling) guilty. She’s still trying to reconcile her guilt.”

A second spirit said to wander the hotel’s upstairs corridor has been dubbed the “White Lady of the Rockingham.” Portsmouth’s first poet laureate, the late Esther Buffler, was said to have encountered the allegedly gray-haired ghost while living in the hotel and wrote a poem in the spirit’s honor.

The claim is the spirit is one of a woman who was a summer guest of the Rockingham and tragically drowned in the area, Waterman said.

Jessica Wade, a server at the restaurant for six years, noted a woman got trapped in the stall of the women’s bathroom during a fire in the late 1800s and perished.

In 1870, Frank Jones, a brewery tycoon, former Portsmouth mayor and congressman, bought the building and expanded it, though most of the building was ruined in an 1884 fire. The next year, Jones had the hotel rebuilt, and since the 1970s it has housed condominiums.

According to the restaurant s website, the most significant historic event to take place at the Rockingham was the signing for the Russo-Japanese Treaty in 1905.

Commonness of unexplained haunted happenings gives pause to any skeptics
“It’s actually been very surreal because I’m a skeptic,” said executive chef Mark Lipoma.

Lipoma said he initially wondered if the "blast of mist" came from a vent outside, but that this kind of mist is usually seen with cooler temperatures.

The Library’s staffers have had their fair share of uneasy encounters, and no one goes alone downstairs beneath the restaurant, where granite and brick secret tunnels are located. Claims have been made that Jones built the tunnels to lead to his Maplewood Farm mansion, his brewery and to the ocean, said Waterman.

“I’ve definitely heard voices coming from the changing room and no one was there,” said bartender Laina Smith.

“I fortunately have not had any tactile experience to share, besides feeling like something was right behind me in the tunnel downstairs,” said server Sahra Mercure. “(I’m) never going in there again.”

Bartender Lauren Brown said she has heard rustling in the women’s restroom downstairs below the restaurant. Waterman said she has seen glasses and potted plants fall from shelves at random.

“There’s definitely enough weird stuff that goes on here to give pause to any skeptics,” Waterman said.

Epicenter of ghost energy
The apparent “epicenter" of the buildings "ghost energy” is located in a corner downstairs where an old phone booth used to be, until its removal last December, Waterman said.

“There’s lots of people who come in here and say there’s high spirit energy in (the restaurant), especially when you go downstairs,” Waterman said.

Knewz.com has learned that the hunters filmed the deceased creature and shared the footage online.

Video appears to show a creature with human-like hands, razor-sharp teeth and a body roughly the size of a large monkey, according to the Daily Star.

Hunters explained that they encountered the Chupacabra while hunting wild boar on the outskirts of town.

They claim to have chased the creature, and their hunting dogs fought with it before one hunter shot it. The video was filmed as "proof" that the Chupacabra did exist and was now in fact dead.



Not everyone is convinced that the creature is a legendary Chupacabra. Some skeptics believe it could be the decomposing body of a howler monkey, which is native to the forests of South and Central America.

Howler monkeys are commonly found in the area and are known to eat leaves, fruits, nuts, and flowers - and a far cry from the terrible Chupacabra, per The Sun.

Reports also suggest that the animal appeared to have been dead for several days, contradicting the hunters claim that it was a fresh kill.

Alleged sightings of the fabled beast are not limited to America’s southern neighbors and while government officials close to Brazil’s most recent account have not weighed in on the development, experts in Texas offer a more reasonable explanation for alleged sightings.
Academics at Texas A&M, have revealed that the mysterious and terrifying creature known as Chupacabra is nothing more than a sad sight of animals suffering from a severe skin disease called mange, per CBS Austin.

A veterinarian from the institution, Terry Hensley, claims the Chupacabra is often misunderstood due to its strange appearance. "It looks very bizarre," he explains. "You see one at night at dusk or dawn, it’s probably a pretty scary-looking creature." Be this as it may these creatures are, in fact, coyotes with advanced mange.

Mange is a skin disease caused by parasitic mites that greatly affects an animal s appearance and behavior.

Animals suffering from mange become immunocompromised, are unable to fight off the parasites and resort to desperate measures in their search for food.

As a result, they often venture near humans and livestock, creating close encounters that further perpetuate the legend of the Chupacabra.

While the myth may be the result of a simple visual mistake, the legend of the Chupacabra has been circulating for many years.

According to Texas A&M Wildlife Specialist, John Tomecek, the legend originated in Puerto Rico in the 1920s. "The basic concept of what these creatures look like shows up in Puerto Rico in the 1920s," he explains. "It originates there as best as we can tell."
]]>http://squantzy.com/content/news/News_Item.asp?content_ID=6110/24/2023The Devil Made Me Do It - The murder of Alan Bono in Brookfield CTThe murder of Alan Bono was the first recorded murder in the history of Brookfield, Connecticut.

The Devil Made Me Do It

In early 1981, 19-year-old arborist Arne Cheyenne Johnson and his 26-year-old girlfriend, Debbie Glatzel, were living in an apartment above Brookfield Kennels, where she worked under their landlord, 40-year-old Alan Bono. On February 16, 1981, the couple was hanging out at home with Bono and a trio of Johnson’s young relatives. Lunch and listening to music led to heavy drinking on Bono’s part, so Glatzel decided it was time to get the girls (ages 9 to 15) out of there. Their attempted exit sparked a violent confrontation between Bono and Johnson, during which Johnson fatally stabbed Bono four to five times with a 5-inch pocket knife.

Though it was the first homicide in the town s then-193-year-old history, "It was not an unusual crime," Brookfield police chief John Anderson told The Washington Post in the fall of 1981. "Somebody got angry, an argument resulted." What was unusual was the media frenzy that followed. "We couldn t have a simple, uncomplicated murder, oh no,” Anderson lamented. “Instead, everyone in the whole world converge[d] on Brookfield."


Arne Cheyenne Johnson s "demon defense" drew worldwide attention.
There was no question that Johnson killed Bono. However, his defense attorney, 33-year-old Martin Minnella, planned to argue that the 19-year-old was not guilty by virtue of demonic possession. Ahead of the trial, Minnella pled his case through the media, giving interviews to major press outlets. "The courts have dealt with the existence of God, and now they’ll be asked to deal with the existence of the demonic spirit," Minnella told People.

"Everyone is interested in this case," Minnella boasted to The Washington Post. "Everyone. We got calls from Australia, from Switzerland, from England, everywhere. When I went to London, they recognized me on the street. All the top studios are interested in this, all the top producers. Of course, my position is that we won t talk until after the trial is over. My client is more important to me."

The "demon defense" began with Ed and Lorraine Warren.
The day after Johnson was arrested, Lorraine Warren called the Brookfield police and blamed the killing on a demon. Johnson didn’t actually say the devil made him do it; he only claimed he didn’t remember stabbing Bono. However, according to the testimony of an officer on the scene, Johnson did tell police, "I think I hurt someone."


Minnella credited the Warrens for his defense strategy, which was an unprecedented religious variant on pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. “Everybody asks, How could you come up with a defense like this? I didn t come up with this,” Minnella told The Washington Post. "This is what was presented to me. I went to see Ed and Lorraine and I decided to take the case after talking to them. They told me that when you re possessed, you have no control over your actions.”

The demon story began with a little boy and a waterbed.

In a rare video interview done for the paranormal docuseries A Haunting, in an episode titled “Where Devils Dwell,” Johnson and Glatzel explained that Arne was not the first person in their family circle to become possessed. Months before the murder, the young couple was renting a house in the country. There, her 11-year-old brother, David Glatzel, claimed a malevolent spirit that he called “the old man” shoved him onto a waterbed that was left behind by a previous tenant. From there, David saw the old man everywhere. The boy spoke in strange voices, screamed horrid things, and lashed out in violence. His concerned mother, Judy Glatzel believed her son was haunted. So, she called in the Warrens, having previously seen the couple lecture on ghosts.

The Warrens determined a horde of demons was to blame.
“We know there were 43 demons in the boy,” Ed Warren told People in 1981. “We demanded names, and David gave us 43.”

With this demonic diagnosis, Ed and Lorraine performed what they called “lesser exorcisms” to rescue David. During one of these rituals, Johnson reportedly begged “The Beast” to leave the boy and take him instead. Glatzel says after this, her beau began to act strange. “Cheyenne would go into a trance,” She told People. “He would growl and say he saw The Beast. Later he would have no memory of it.”

No formal exorcism was ever held.
The bishop of Bridgeport refused to sanction the Catholic rite because the Glatzel family had not consented to the psychological testing required to eliminate mental illness as a factor. David’s mother defended her decision, telling The Washington Post, “They just want to stick needles into my kid. There s no way in hell they re going to do that."

Exactly what kind of psychological testing requires needles remains unclear.

Not everyone who knew Arne Cheyenne Johnson blamed the devil.
The Glatzel family stood by Johnson, as did the Warrens. However, in her deep dive on the case for The Washington Post, reporter Lynn Darling cited anonymous sources who described Johnson as “quick to anger [and] extremely possessive of the [girlfriend] he calls his wife.” Darling was also told about an incident in which Arne “once ripped a small stuffed animal to shreds with his knife after an argument at a tree service where he once worked.”

The Warrens were reportedly eager to capitalize on Arne Cheyenne Johnson s story.

Even before Johnson s case went to court, Lorraine speculated to Darling, "Will we have a book written about this? Yes, we will. Will we lecture about it? Yes, we will." When she was asked whether she had started talking to any movie producers about the case, she responded, “No, we re not. Our agents at the William Morris Agency are."

There was a 1983 made-for-TV movie about Arne Cheyenne Johnson, but it didn t use anyone s real name.
In 1983, the made-for-TV movie The Demon Murder Case presented Johnson’s case with a young Kevin Bacon in the lead role as the allegedly possessed killer. Andy Griffith and Beverlee McKinsey played a pair of married elderly paranormal investigators. However, the names of those involved in real life were changed to aliases. The Warrens earned no screen credits.

Ed, who passed away in 2006, never got to see any of The Conjuring movies for himself. But Lorraine, who died in 2019, lived to see the first two films in the series.

Lorraine Warren was sued over alleged falsehoods in her book, The Devil In Connecticut.

First published in 1983, The Devil In Connecticut was a collaborative effort between the Warrens and author Gerald Brittle. When the book was poised to be reprinted in 2006, David Glatzel and his older brother Carl sued Brittle and Lorraine (Ed had already passed away), for invasion of the right to privacy, libel, and intentional affliction of emotional distress due to false information within its pages.


Carl, who was 16 at the time of the alleged possession, told the press that the whole thing was a hoax created by the Warrens. He argued that David’s behavior in 1981 stemmed not from 43 demons but from undiagnosed mental illness. “It was living hell when we were kids," Carl told the Associated Press in 2007. “It was just a nightmare. I m not going to go through that again. Neither is my brother.”

The Glatzel brothers lost their lawsuit, yet still won this battle.
The Glatzels s lawsuit was dismissed. However, the brothers did succeed in getting the book taken out of print. Brittle admitted as much in a 2021 interview with the Hartford Courant, saying, “I did it because I was fed up with the case, fed up with Carl Glatzel. It just wasn’t worth it to me. It had no bearing on the fact that the book was true.”

The demon defense didn’t save Arne Cheyenne Johnson.
After all the headlines and hype, the demon defense that could have made for a landmark case never even made it to the jury. Superior Court Judge Robert J. Callahan rejected Minnella’s witness list, which included Catholic priests, paranormal investigators, and members of the Glatzel family. Before a courtroom jam-packed with press, Judge Callahan proclaimed, “The court will take judicial notice that the profession, the business or hobby … of locating demons has not risen to that level of viability where it would be of assistance to the jury in deciding the case,” and “It would be incompetent evidence and I would not allow it.”

On November 24, 1981, Johnson was convicted of first-degree manslaughter, meaning the jury believed he intended to harm but not kill Bono. He was sentenced to 10 to 20 years but served less than five. On January 23, 1986, the AP reported that the 24-year-old was released early on parole because he had been a model prisoner at the Connecticut Correctional Institute in Somers.

Arne Cheyenne Johnson and Debbie Glatzel stayed together.
Johnson and Glatzel married on January 30, 1985, while he was still in prison. The embattled couple went on to have two sons. In her 2006 interview for A Haunting, Debbie Johnson (née Glatzel) declared, “Our love has only grown stronger. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save my brother.”

Outside of this rare TV appearance, the couple has stayed largely out of the public eye since Johnson’s release. However, in the wake of renewed interest because of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, Carl revealed in 2021 that his sister had recently passed. Johnson has remained off the radar.

Stetson Parker and his wife, Shannon, recently took a trip through Colorado to celebrate their 10th anniversary. They boarded the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a vintage train that “provides historic and entertaining” rides, according to its website.But what the Parkers saw from the last car of that train wasn’t advertised online. The couple believe they spotted the most elusive of creatures: Bigfoot.Yes, you read that correctly: Bigfoot. Also known as a sasquatch or a yeti. The mythical apelike, giant creature, who (maybe) wanders North America. Who, according to some, definitely exists. And who, according to most everyone else, definitely does not.The most recent spotting, captured in a widely shared video from that train in Colorado, adds to the growing catalog of sightings that have kept the myth alive amid a lack of what some might call verifiable proof. “I’m definitely a believer now,” Stetson Parker, 33, said.The video, which was taken by a fellow passenger and posted online by Parker, shows a tall, brownish creature walking and squatting, before it blends into its surroundings. The footage is zoomed in, making for a grainy video.
To him, Parker said, the creature didn’t look like a human.
“It didn’t move like a person,” he said. “It looked more like an ape but didn’t walk like an ape so much.” He added that the creature’s arms seemed too long to be human, with hands reaching down to its knees.
“It didn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen before,” Parker said. “I don’t think it was a hoax. And if it was, it was a really good one.”
Other possible explanations emerged as the video drew the attention of media around the world. Maybe it was a bear. Or, the most common one, maybe it was a man wearing a ghillie suit, the camouflage clothing that helps outdoorsmen disappear into their backgrounds. But why, Parker asked, would anyone be in a ghillie suit in the middle of elk hunting season? That’s a surefire way for any hunter to get shot. And it wasn’t holding a weapon.
Over the decades, researchers, academics and even the FBI have investigated Bigfoot’s existence. The FBI helped research mysterious hairs in 1977, which ended up being of deer origin. Bigfoot experts and enthusiasts often refer to the so-called Patterson-Gimlin film from 1967, which claimed to show one of the creatures strolling through a California streambed.
A major 2014 Oxford University study dealt a blow to Bigfoot believers. Researchers there investigated 30 hair samples and successfully matched all of them to other animals.
But the Bigfoot faithful are not easily deterred. “I fully believe that they’re there,” said Ryan Willis, 23, who founded the Trent University Sasquatch Society and is the host of “Sasquatch University,” a reality show on the Wild network that covers Bigfoot sightings in Ontario. “But I do leave a bit of room for skepticism.”
Willis said people had sent him video footage, hair samples and more. In some cases, he said, people have told him they have fecal evidence. But, he said, “Nobody has sent us Bigfoot poop in the mail or anything.”
Even Bigfoot believers disagree over what the video shared by Parker shows.
Cliff Barackman presented reality show “Finding Bigfoot” for nine years on Animal Planet, and he opened the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, Oregon, in 2019. He doesn’t think it’s Bigfoot.
“I thought it was a suit,” Barackman said. “I have seen a sasquatch, and I know they are real animals.” But the creature in this video, he added, “didn’t look like it was an animal; it looked baggy.”
But what kind of suit is unclear. Most online viewers suggested it was a ghillie suit, which usually includes a jacket, pants and a head covering and is supposed to camouflage any human form. Kevin Erickson, chief executive of Arcturus, a company that makes the suits, said that the creature in the video was not wearing one: The suit wasn’t baggy enough.
“In this video the extremities — the legs and arms — are fairly silhouetted and tight,” he said. “No one makes a ghillie suit like this.”
But, Erickson added, it could be a “Bigfoot-specific suit.” Upon close inspection of the video, he said, he seemed to see a shadow in the middle of the creature, suggesting a jacket.
Skepticism is often warranted, Barackman acknowledged, because the internet is full of hoaxes and misinformation. And until Bigfoot’s existence is conclusively proven, he says he’ll continue to run his museum and search for the creature. But, he wonders: “After the species is proven to be real, are people still going to dress up as Bigfoot?”

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman first broke the case, and interviewed the teenage eyewitnesses who had encountered. 

At first, they thought they were looking at a dog or cat, but soon became aware that they were seeing an unearthly creature creeping along a stone wall on Farm Street. It has a large watermelon type head with orange eyes, and had skin that looked like sandpaper. 

Later on that night it was seen again by another eyewitness, again, a teenager. The thing was seen repeatedly by other people during the next several days. 

One eyewitness estimated it to be about the size of a goat. Various researchers have thought this creature to possibly be extraterrestrial in origin, or possibly the result of a top-secret government experiment gone wrong, some kind of escapee from a real-life Island of Dr. Moreau. 

DESCRIPTION: A nasty looking devil-eared freak. 

MOST RECENT SIGHTING: None have recently been reported, but how many of us would want to encounter this thing slithering along the sidewalk at 1a.m. in the morning in the cold, deep dark of night?

The Connecticut Department of Enviromental began keeping records on drownings at Connecticut state parks in 1996 and since then 13 people have died at Squantz Pond State Park. On Labor Day 2007, an 18-year-old man from Queens, N.Y., became the third drowning victim of 2007 at about 1 p.m. at East Beach, an area that was not protected by lifeguards because the state DEP believed the drowning danger to be lower than other sections of the park.

In June 2008, DEP unveiled several improvements to the park designed to improve the safety of swimmers. The designated beach swimming area was enlarged and clearly marked to make it more attractive to swimmers, and several trees were removed to improve the sight lines of on-duty lifeguards. In addition, a new dock houses a patrol boat.

The other Squantz Pond victims drowned in the areas known as "the Rocks" and the unroped section of "Squantz Cove" that are outside the designated swimming area. These areas also were not protected by lifeguards. "Tree Jump". is a video example of a highly risky maneuver conducted by a park-goer at the Rocks.

In July 2007, DEP Officials made "the Rocks" off limits to beachgoers. In response to the drownings and pressure from local officials, the state announced plans to reduce the parking capacity of the park from about 500 cars to about 250, and to post signs on nearby Interstate 84 announcing if the park has reached capacity. DEP hopes the reduced capacity will help them prevent swimming outside of authorized areas.

UFO Hovering In Moscow

By · September 8, 2011

This strange video was recently uploaded to YouTube by user Vladegen. According to the description, this is an unidentified object floating about the skies in Moscow.
It would be easy for me to dismiss this as a hoax. A possible clever computer rendered video. Or maybe some kite with big bright LED lights. But there’s something strange about this video.

The object is too high up in the sky and too big to be a kite in my opinion, and seems to be cutting into the clouds. Which brings me to my next point: The clouds that pass over the bright lights are a good indications that this could not be a computer rendered video. Most hoaxers don’t go so detailed with the videos. Clouds passing over the lights like that would take some skills as a graphics artists to create. That’s of course my interpretation of the video.

Note: I’m not saying that this is an extraterrestrial aircraft. I’m posting this video out so that others can voice their opinion on this or discuss new theories.
