GHOST HUNTERS

*This is a guest post by researcher, David Claerr. David has posted on here several times some very interesting posts! Be sure and check them out in the search bar on the right. His links are below*  In a remote region of the Lava Badlands of Idaho, an intrepid researcher and his assistant were was working their way deep into a lava-tube cave system The lava tube formed a narrow, twisting crawlspace, with obstacles of rock and debris that made progress painfully difficult. The passage barely afforded room for an average man to crawl through. But at what appeared to be the end of the cave, and after squeezing through some stalactites that were crowded, the two researchers made a discovery of the skeletal remains of a large bird-like creature, about the size of an ostrich. Some of the desiccated remnants of cartilage and tendons remained attached to the bone and dehydrated. There appeared to be no feathers of any kind in the lava tube. They photographed the carcass from several ang...

Some of my more long-term readers remember the case of the Chickosaurus. It was found in a cave in the northwestern portion of the US. It was found by two explorers who went into the cave to see what was in there and how far it went. They traveled about 1/3 of a mile in, through some belly crawling, knee crawling, digging through rat nest piles and squeezing sideways through some stalactites that created a natural cage. When they got to a rock grotto portion of the cave (believed to be a lava tube/basalt cave), they found this skeleton sitting like an Emu or Ostrich that had seated itself and died. The bones were articulated, not picked over, very dehydrated, and the head and feet were missing as if someone might have in the past taken them as trophies or perhaps by some odd happening, a cave creature spirited them off, though skull and feet would be great trophies for a Native People in the past, perhaps a thunderbird find.... I have had a chance to weigh, measure and handle this neck...
