Visit #15

Conditions: 97, partly sunny with high clouds, very hot.

On site from 5:15-6:35 p.m.

I was anticipating new events with this visit. Seems like something has always happened no matter how little the change. Is there possible Sasquatch activity? To me, I think so. I'll keep coming until I get some hard answers. I hope in September to put out some active cameras to at least see if animals are moving thru the site moving things around and taking the food from the buckets. If the Sasquatch are responsible, I hope to have built up enough trust with them that putting out the active cameras will not be offensive.

Another item is I'm not spending a lengthy amount of time at the sites. Just enough to record what has taken place previously. I hope when things cool off in the late fall to spend more time during the day and possibly over night.

I arrived at the parking area at 4:50 p.m. I get geared up and by 5 p.m., I'm on the way to the bridge. I arrive at the bridge at 5:15PM. The grass has grown higher now on both sides of the ditch.
I picked up another rock from the fire pit for site 1B. Only one rock is left at the fire pit. I will remove it next visit. I entered the site area with my standard tune whistling and announcing vocally that I was now on site. I also do my own 'whoops', use a flute and owl hoots at different time during the visit.

What's different on this visit?

The pair of limbs left vertically at the 'bottles' limb, one was moved against the other. I had left the 2 as a 'door-gate' formation approx. 3-4' apart across the top.

Around tree bucket #1 more wrappers on the ground.

On the ground below bucket #1 was a peach pit. In the bucket, another peach pit was found which I removed and put on the ground to photo with the other.

At the ground formation arrow pointer, the water container at the point was now on its side. At the rear of the arrow, the 2 small limbs as a cross had been moved.

The deer corn left at the fringe of the immediate site was taken again. This time in the dirt were the deer corn has been left, it looked to me as a left foot impression was at the spot. I measured with the tape and took a photo. The measurements are approximately 12"x 4.5"x 2.5". ???

At bucket tree #2, the bucket was on the ground, torn from the wooden 2"x4" stud that it was attached to on the tree. The antler, comb, and belt buckle which is attached to the bucket was on the ground by the bucket with cords. The food wrappers are on the ground around the tree also. The tire looked to be slightly moved and the hammer on the ground by the tire.

At the green Frisbee, on the backside of bucket tree #2, the sweet treats left previously with the 2 rocks and quarter left stacked on the sweet treats (1 mini-Snickers bar, 1 mini-Baby Ruth bar were taken. The 2 rocks and quarter were moved on the Frisbee and not knocked onto the ground. It seems to me they were deliberately moved away but not carelessly.
At bucket #1, the 6"galvanized nail left hanging on a long cord has the cord moved to the rear of the bucket. It was at the front on the bucket. Last fall, at the site 1A food bucket, a set of long, dark blue beads was left hanging at the front of the bucket and upon return the beads had been moved to the far back of the bucket. ?????

I don't know what happened at bucket #2??? Maybe a large raccoon or possum could have pulled on the bucket metal carrying piece and tore it off the stud. The bucket was 7' off the ground to the opening. We'll see what happens when a real trail camera(s) is(are) put up by September.

Changes made this visit:

I moved the downed bucket to the bush/tree near the balls corral. I wedged it between a number of limbs approximately 6' off the ground. This is temporary and will be changed in a few more visits. I attached 2 of the deer bones from bucket #1, belt buckle, 6" tent peg nail and comb to the metal carrying part of the bucket.

I attached the antlers, the hammer and 2 other bones from bucket #1 to the parallel limb above the balls corral.

I restocked both buckets with food items: bagged popcorn, unshelled peanuts, mini-snickers almond bars, mini-baby ruth bars, cinnamon rolls, honey bun, fried apple pie.

At the green Frisbee, I left a fried cherry pie and again stacked the 2 rocks and quarter on top. I really want the rocks and quarter to be taken and something left but it hasn't happened yet.

I moved the blue tire to the front of the ground formation and place the yellow tire vertically on the blue tire.

At the ground formation, I put the rear limbs back but reinforced with extra limbs across and put the 15lb. kettle bell were they all meet. I stood the water container again at the point and put a rock below the point to hold all in place. I put then the wooden limb piece on top of the rock.

I was given 2 more broken game/trail cameras by job co-workers. I put one on the opposite side of bucket #1 from the south. This is camera #3. Camera #4 is pointed towards the balls corral and the moved bucket. Camera #1 is pointed at the green Frisbee gifting tree (backside of old bucket tree #2). Camera #2 is pointed at bucket #1 from the north.

I re-adjusted the 'door-gate' limbs to their original position.

I put out another pile of deer corn at the same spot as usual.

I took 42 photos this visit. Photos with explanations:

#1. Entering the main site 1B, 2 vertical limbs, one has been pushed over to the other at the top almost like a tepee. I had them in a 'door-gate' formation.

#2. thru #4. Food wrappers on the ground around bucket tree #1.

#5. Peach pits. One was on the ground. The other I took from the bucket and placed on the ground by the other to photo.

#6. Water container on its side.

#7. Cross limbs at the rear of the arrow messed with or moved slightly again.

#8. Deer corn pile has been taken.

#9. Possible left foot impression: 12" x 4.5" x 2.5".

#10. thru #13, #15, #16----Destruction of food bucket #2 with attached items and food wrappers on the ground around the tree.

#14. Bucket #2, 2"x4" wood stud still attached to the tree.

#17. Sweet treats have been removed and the 2 rocks and quarter left on the Frisbee.

#18. Food buckets restock items.

#19. thru #23. Readjusting the ground formation with additions.

#24. thru #27. The 6" galvanized nail has been moved to the rear of the bucket on the cord. I moved back to the front of the bucket.

#28. thru #30. Extra items I have added to the parallel limb above the balls corral. also the food bucket which I moved to this new spot with hangings.

#31. Camera #2 looking at food bucket #1 from the north.

#32. Camera #4 looking at the balls corral and bucket #2.

#33. Camera #3 looking at food bucket #1 from the south.

#34. From camera #3 looking at food bucket #1 and camera #2.

#35. and #36. Close-up photos of items attached to parallel limb and bucket #2.

#37 and #38. 'Door-Gate' limbs formation into site 1B from both sides of the formation.

#39 and #40. New deer corn pile.

#41 and #42. I use this small backpack to keep small trash bags in to carry immediate trash out to the trail containers. On this visit the pack was unzipped. remember leaving it open. I take this now to check on the next visit.

Enough time has passed that I am certain whatever is here is comfortable enough and secure enough with interacting with this space that live cameras are ready to be set up in coming weeks.

***Tomorrow is a new installment of "Stalker Between the Worlds" and things are getting intense again in this rural location***

Don Monroe Case Files: Unusual Carving Unearthed!

Life-long explorer, adventurer and researcher, Don Monroe, has a million stories to tell, only he's been on the road nonstop, busy hiking the back country in dozens of countries, climbing the highest peaks and crawling in the deepest caves to understand this natural world we live in. He has hunted, tracked, trapped, cast footprints, talked to Native people, continued several-decade long ongoing research projects, devoured tons of research books, and ultimately sought answers about every aspect of nature and all the mysteries within. During those travels, he came across many unusual things. What I am presenting now is one of them - Don Monroe and a researcher friend named Massey, were up at about 7000 feet on Anaconda Range in Montana. They were tracking a bear when Don noted something sticking out of the ground, just a bit of something, but didn't look like a regular rock. In this remote area at that elevation, the idea of running across something man-made was unlikely. He s...

Terror of Doll Island!

Photo source Isla de las Munecas or "Island of the Dolls" (popularly coined "Doll Island") is a thing of horror for many. Why would an island filled with dolls for decades, laid to waste by the elements and neglect, be terrifying? Well, let me introduce you to its most unsettling beginnings. Don Julian Santana was unhappy with city life and moved to an island on a canalway south of Mexico City for peace and quiet. It was there that the legend begins and takes on a life that is animated enough to bring the dead to life. Don reported that a little girl had drowned in the canal 50 years ago and he believed her spirit to be troubled and haunting his little island. He said that he was out one day when he saw a doll floating in the canal and scooped it out, hanging it up on a tree near the drowning spot to make the girl eternally happy so she would not haunt and scare him. He then became consumed with finding more and more dolls, fishing them out of the canal, sorting t...

Monsters in the Deepest Ocean!

The ocean takes up the majority of the surface on our world and yet so little of what is in it is known to us. Upon occasion, we come across some real mysteries, tantalizing glimpses that make us wonder. For a long time, the giant squid (above) was a legend until it was finally filmed underwater. What other legends might tell us what is in the sea? One creative thinker in 1570 drew up the sea monsters that lay in the waters outside of Iceland. Scientist and artist, Abraham Ortelius had some very fanciful ideas of what awaited the seafarer. He also pondered what might live in the Pacific Ocean. In 1644, another artist/scientist drew up what he thought might lurk in the waters off of Africa. Willem Blaeu had quite an interesting vision. In 1727, Peter Kolb envisioned a sea lion of interesting characteristics - In present day, we still run across things in the sea that puzzle us. Here is one such thing photographed at Hook Island. It was estimated to be 75-80 feet long and to this day the...

Scary and Precarious Roads!

Summer road trip time - why not consider scaring the crap out of your family? The road to Big Sur (above) is sure to separate boys from men. Highway 1 is an intense cliff hugging drive along the coast for 122 miles from Monterey to Morro Bay. Independence Pass from Aspen to Leadville in Colorado. Highway 82 is a 187-mile white knuckler. And if that's not enough, you take the over 1000-foot tall highest suspension bridge in the world! Great Smoky Mountains National Park "Tail of the Dragon" in North Carolina/Tennessee Highway 129 takes you on 11 miles of awesome views. Clinton Road , Passaic County, New Jersey. Seriously paranormal , " If you are visiting the road at midnight, stop by the bridge at Dead Man’s Curve for a game of catch. Toss pennies into the water, and the ghost of a young boy will toss them back. A gray wolf with red eyes will stalk you from the bushes. Satan worshippers will hang hang up their bloody clot...

Obscure Horror Movies of the 70s and 80s

The 1970s and 1980s were horror movie lovers' heaven! There were movies about nature turning on man because of pollution, witches, devil worshippers, killers, insanity, revenge, demons, families moving into haunted houses, beasts attacking, and teens being slashed. You might have missed some of the more obscure ones in the offering - *Descriptions thanks to my favorite movie site IMDB (The Food of the Gods - 1976) The Food of the Gods: A group of friends travel to a remote Canadian island to hunt, only to be attacked by giant killer animals which have populated the place. The People: Kim Darby and William Shatner star in this 1972 made-for-tv movie. A woman is sent to a secluded valley to teach school to the reclusive residents' children. The citizens start showing some odd skills and pretty soon the teacher begins to wonder if the residents are human. The Initiation: Daphne Zuniga stars in this 1984 slasher that takes place during an initiation sta...

Desert-Dwelling Bigfoot: Yucca Man

There are well known reports of Bigfoot wandering the American Northwest, the Sierras, the Rockies, the Mississippi River corridor and even Florida and the Northeast, but there are Bigfoot reported in deserts too. The assumptions that hair-covered humans would not live there is wrong. We know they are resistant to cold, why not heat? And, if Native Americans could live in such conditions, then surely these denizens of the wild could, too. The Joshua Tree Monument Park and Twenty-Nine Palms areas in the California desert has long had reports of people encountering a tall hairy man, described as a Bigfoot-type figure. In the early 70s, a man was supposedly being a guard officer at a facility in the Twenty-Nine Palms area. He saw something big emerge from the desert and poised his gun, warning it off. Instead of stopping, it stormed towards him and the man saw that it was a large hairy man. He was so shocked he didn't react and the hairy man knocked him unconscious. It was ...

The Most Bizarre Photographic Finds On Mars!

Mars explorers have sent back photos of some rather unusual, sometimes vague, and often times puzzling items on the surface of the "dead" planet. This has us wondering, if our own planet no longer supported life, would all the evidence of our having been here be covered up by a millennia of earth, leaving only the occasional hint someone might have been here? Here's a look at a large gallery of photos from the red planet. You come to your own conclusions.... Th e one above, I will chalk up to optical illusion. The stone is actually on the ground in the distance. In the foreground is a rock casting a shadow. Are we looking at a planet that seems to be dead and yet it has a history of life? What if a civilization that was quite advanced had the opportunity to leave a sick planet for a healthy one not so far away in terms of space travel? Is Mars a planet that never supported life or is it a planet that sustained life long enough to build an entire civilization now buried ...

Ghost Ships and Fata Morgana Mirages

Fata Morgana Fata Morgana is a complex superior mirage. In this instance, in the horizon a narrow band seen can separate an image, casting what looks like another image superior to the original object. In the image above it appears as if the ship is in the air. Below, the image shows a repeat of it up in the air. Sometimes, the image can be inverted. This occurs when rays of light are bent when they pass through layers that are different temperatures. Flying Dutchman This legend is talked about among sailors since the late 1700s. The tale says that there was a ship's captain sailing around the most dangerous ocean strait, the Cape of Good Hope. He cursed the elements and swore he would make it no matter what. The ship went down and all perished, but they are said to continue as a ghost ship for eternity in the region of the Southern tip of Africa because of the arrogance. In fact, the legend was picked up and modified for many countries and many sea locations. Perhaps it wa...

Monsters in the Sewers

There was a fantastic X-Files episode involving a sewer-dwelling monster. It was so creepy and distasteful that it almost fascinates the viewer to wonder, what the heck is down in our sewers? I grew up in the 70s when the talk of alligators in the sewers were rampant. The legend went, someone flushed a baby alligator down the toilet and it ended up occupying the sewers of New York City. There were a lot of variations of it, but one of those urban legends that leaves you checking out your toilet before you take a seat. In Florida, a man went out to get his male, heard something hissing at him, looked over at the sewer open and found an alligator sending him warning signals. This popular video below made the rounds on YouTube and other sites. It certainly gives one the chills to imagine that during a simple camera survey of an ancient sewer works they came across this - There are some explainable creatures that are still quite creepy that depend on the conditions found in sew...

The Urban Sasquatch Journal: Stick Glyphs

This is the reporting by a Bigfoot researcher of an ongoing study in the Southern part of the United States in a very large park area near homes and urban setting. LINK TO PRIOR INSTALLMENTS STARTING WITH #1 Journal Volume 3 Report #50 Saturday November 26, 2016 I arrived at the park approximately 9:52 AM. The temperature was 65 and cool. It was partly cloudy with high clouds. I had my bike with me and rode the trail first. This took 44 minutes. I was back to back to my car at 10:48 AM. I then got my pack then rode over to the site. The goal of the trail ride was to observe any new tree breaks, twists or limbs etc. broke over the trail. Also to see if any stick signs were along the trail in the grass. I did observe several interesting items on the east end. These I photographed. Trail ride observations with photos. These cover photos 1-8. #1. thru #3. Between mile markers 2.75 and 3.0 , on the north side of the trail, approximately 10' inside the treeline, these possible stick ...
