     Since March 2010, many strange (and for the most part, unexplained) things have happened in our house, a lot of which we have on film -

* our 3 y.o son moved from where he was sleeping on the lounge to the exact same position on the floor outside his bedroom door. He had to have gone right past where we were sitting but he was never seen or heard moving. He didn't have his pillow or teddy which he never sleeps without.

* One night we filmed his room all night (9pm - dawn). On film he is never seen or heard leaving his room despite the camera pointed right at his bed. In actual fact he came into our room and woke us up at about 3am.

* On film-One night he woke up and immediately looked at something off camera. He was very upset and was saying..."no, no...don't want...no, no...". He definately wasn't dreaming and left the room as quick as he could.

* On film-Our video footage floats as though it's not being held completely still, yet it's on a tripod on even ground and floats when we are in the room and stops when we leave the room (it only did this once and only in one room so a faulty camera is highly questionable)

* On film - Strange, banging/hitting noises that just don't belong in our house. There are no appliances etc to make such noises and everyone is always asleep.

*  One night while using the bathroom, a ghostly figure moved quickly past the door. When I checked, everyone was asleep. I felt a cool chill and when I looked over my shoulder I saw it directly.

* This is the most disturbing for us - Last week my wife saw our 14 y.o son walk past the door and smile at her. About 5 seconds later (literally) our 3 y.o son called out to him and his brother answered him from the other end of the house - which is also in the opposite direction to what the "thing" was walking. My wife knew right away what she saw wasn't our son. It was "him" in every detail.

* My wife saw a bright light flash 3 times in quick succession on a bedroom wall; bright like the reflection of a camera flash - no-one was using a camera....

     We have had two paranormal teams investigate us now and although they have answered some of our questions, they havent been able to give us an explanation to the above points, that make sense.

    For example - "the flash on the wall was a reflection of light" - (how can that be when no-one turned a light on/off/on/off and it was much brighter than any light we have in the house anyway?) -- "The footage floated because you were moving in the room, a bit like an impact tremor, despite the house being on a cement slab" (How come it still floated when I'm standing still, and how come it doesn't float in time with the steps I take?) -- "The 'copy' of your 14 y.o son was probably a Doppelganger. Don't worry, they usually go as quick as they come" (Every article on the Net about Doppelgangers are anything but good news, so what should/can we do?)

     The above points are the ones that worry us the most, especially this so-called Doppelganger. Believe me - we don't want a ghost -  but the answers people give us to the above points make even less sense than the events themselves, or their explanations are physically impossible in normal circumstances. If anyone can help (with real answers or advice that makes sense and is actually plausible - yes, even if your answer is of a paranormal nature) please reply. We just don't know what to do.

 

      We are living our lives at the moment just waiting for the next 'something' to happen. Perhaps we could e-mail you some pics we have? Please remember one thing - we do not do drugs / alcoholics and we are certainly not chasing notoriety. We just want to live our lives in peace...

Email me tips and suggestions.  gregbannon1969@yahoo.com

Many thanks to you all - Greg & Jo.

 

 

 

 

BIGFOOT....Missing Link or Mis-Evolved?

Welcome to CryptoFlorida

     When studying Darwin's theory of evolution a commonly misappropriated statement is that humans evolved from simpler forms of life such as apes and then became more complex until they became humans.  And yet this is not what Darwin claimed. 

     The relationship between humans and the mythical and legendary Bigfoot then becomes incredibly strange.  Rather than Bigfoot being the missing link between humans and their ancestors, Bigfoot may have gone the other way around and come from humans.

     It sound like an incredible claim, but first we should take a look at this commonly cited misinterpretation of the theory of evolution.  According to evolution, first there were microbes which clung together into cells and made more complex creatures as more cells worked in cohesion.  Over millions of years these cells then became even larger collections of cells competing with others for supremacy, resources, and breeding.  Eventually the cells became so complex that they formed an apelike ancestor to today's apes and human beings.

       Human beings did not evolve from apes and gorillas, but rather branched off and became different from a common ancestor that would eventually become ape and human respectively.  Ultimately the human race would be as it is today just as gorillas, monkeys, dogs, cats, fish, plants, and microbes.  And their interactions with one another would result in a more complex ecosystem whereby the cells would continue to compete and interact in the form of complex beings.

     But if this is true, then the Bigfoot that is alive today is not the human race as it was a few million years ago.  As the diversity of life continues to change, the closest Bigfoot could hope to be to humanity would be to share a common ancestor.  Or would it?

     If Bigfoot were in North America, there are no apes or monkeys naturally occurring where it is now.  Bigfoot would have evolved from the humans reaching the Western World as they migrated here from the human race's point of origin.  Bigfoot would then have evolved, according to the theory of evolution, not from the common ancestor humans share with apes, but by branching off fairly recently from what would be considered modern humans.  Bigfoot could have evolved fairly recently indeed, in this theory.

     But what would have caused such an incredible genetic migration in our recent past?  Is it possible that a group of humans migrating far north into the wilderness during the ice age could have relied on thick fur covering their bodies to survive?  And is it possible that large size and the ability to be stealthy, rather than complex communication could have served these humans better so they could eventually evolve into modern Bigfoot?  And because this shape, combined with a misunderstanding of evolution could have contributed to the conception that Bigfoot was a missing link, is it possible that Bigfoot is not the missing link, but the next step that would have branched off from late paleoamericans in the late Pleistocene era?

      Unless Bigfoot arrived to North America by some unknown force, it seems impossible that the being would have predated Paleolithic era humans.  And in that regard, is it possible that Bigfoot is not the missing link, but a potential next step in evolution?

UFO Sighting in Phoenix Explained

"2012" Mayan Prediction Could be Off by a Century

The date most commonly associated in popular culture as being the end of the world is December 21st, 2012 - the day the Mayan long count calendar finally comes to an end and a new era begins. But is this date accurate? No, according to one professor at the University of California.


Gerardo Aldana, a professor at the university says that the current calculations of the calendar make many assumptions that simply have not been taken into consideration. He suggests that the real date of the calendar could be up to a hundred years off, meaning even if it does suggest the end of the world it may not actually happen within our own lifetimes. This comes as relief to many in the new age movement who suggest the end of the calendar will be indicative of the end of the world.


It has often been a matter of curiosity among scholars and skeptics alike what the world will look like on dawn of December 21st 2012 in a little over two years. Will the sun rise on chaos sweeping across the Earth? Will it see nothing more than a barren wasteland of people barely clinging on to the last morsels left on Earth and attempting to eek out an existence in a barren and unforgiving wasteland? Or will it see a world left uneasy by the predictions made for the past decade and simply trying to chuckle away the uneasy apprehension that will be all encompassing?



Though it may not have an effect directly, the very belief that the world is coming to an end could have an impact on any number of economic and social aspects of life on Earth. But this inaccuracy illustrated by Dr. Aldana may put a stopper on the mass panic that could potentially break out in the coming hours before the date comes to pass.


There is a great deal of temptation in our society to oversimplify things, and the 2012 phenomenon may actually be another indicator. We no longer would have to face up to the responsibility of nuclear disarmament, the countless years involved in the space race, coming economic crises, and famine if there was a clandestine apocalypse on the next page of mankind's history preordained to either wipe out humanity or decidedly make everything better forever (or at least a few thousand years). So the 2012 date may be changed, but another will arise inevitably given enough time to take away the sting of constant perseverance through adversity.


Aldana's prediction also believed that many other dates throughout Mayan history have in fact been wrong as well by possibly hundreds of years. But is the 2012 prediction's possible inaccuracy reason to sit tight and breath a sigh of relief? Perhaps not yet.


If mankind is to enjoy a fruitful and happy existence in the coming ten years it will be delivered as a result of hard work and determination resulting from planning ahead just as we have done with some consistency throughout history.

Multiple UFO Sighting Around the Globe

     Last month we told you about the Ex Norad Official's (Stanley Fulham) UFO prediction and today, to many's disbelief, a HUGE UFO display happened. Not only over New York,  but possibly around the globe.

     Early debunking attempts claim the UFO's over NYC were balloons, but eye witnesses say otherwise.

     Video from Malaysia also popped up showing an ominous glowing object, along with some video from Ohio earlier this morning. Video from Moscow has also surfaced which show some incredible footage.

At the moment, we can not confirm any of the videos, reports, or opinions. We will keep this page updated as the story develops.

Bear-like creature spotted along Ulu Pandan, Singapore--------UPDATE

     
SINGAPORE: A bear-like creature was spotted along Ulu Pandan on Monday morning.
The strange scene was caught on an amateur video using a hand phone.



SINGAPORE: A bear-like creature was spotted along Ulu Pandan on Monday morning.

The strange scene was caught on an amateur video using a hand phone.
Eyewitness Wilson Tay, a civil engineer, was driving home with his son when he spotted "something strange".

He said his son took the video when the creature was spotted near a dustbin.
By Mr Tay's estimation, the bear was about the height of an average adult human being.
It's as yet unclear whether the creature is for real.

In a media release, Wildlife Reserves Singapore said no bears had been missing from its parks.

Wildlife Reserve Singapore manages the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park and the upcoming River Safari.

It added it was unable to verify yet, if the creature was a real bear. 


UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been brought to my attention that this is nothing more than a hoax.
The mysterious bear-like creature spotted along Ulu Pandan Road in Singapore has now been revealed to be a publicity stunt by a company to market shavers.

SINGAPORE : Worried residents, searches by animal interest and wildlife groups, even police officers having to cordon off the area - all because of a purported "bear" sighting along Ulu Pandan Road which has turned out to be a publicity stunt by a company to market shavers.

The blurry video clip of a purported "bear" rummaging through a dustbin at a bus stop had been making the rounds on the Internet. It was also reported on television and in newspapers such as Lianhe Wanbao, Shin Min Daily and The New Paper.

Michigan Mystery----Gaping Crack in the Ground

Mysterious crack still begs answers

Nearly 200 yards long, 5 feet deep in parts

Updated: Wednesday, 06 Oct 2010, 5:57 PM CDT

Published : Wednesday, 06 Oct 2010, 5:57 PM CDT

Reporter: Cameron Clark

     MENOMINEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Nestled just beyond the tree line of Eileen Heider's 53 acres, is Menominee County's newest tourist attraction.
"It's amazing, I want to get back there and check the rest of it out," said Kevin Clermont of Wallace, Michigan, who stopped on his way home from work to sightsee.

     Heider and neighbors heard an explosion-like sound Monday morning. Heider found the nearly 200-yard-long crevice, which measures five-feet deep in parts, Tuesday.
"I was sitting in my recliner and the recliner started to vibrate," said Heider. "And it's not electric."

     Trooper Paul Anderson with Michigan State Police was the first to check it out. He said he ruled out a gas line leak, but could not determine much more.
"This would be a first," he said. "You don't learn that at the academy."
Anderson said he called some geological experts. So far none have come to look at the crevice.

     There have not been any reported earthquakes in the area.


From Unexplainable:

     A massive rift has opened up in Michigan leaving a yawning chasm that goes down 20 feet at certain points and has left local geologists, police, and fire officials entirely perplexed.  The massive rift simply opened up without warning and seems to have no real possible explanation.  As experts descend on the area, it is unclear how the mystery will unfold.  And as the case is cracked on the almost 500 foot rift, no one has any answers.

     As residents were going about their daily business on Monday, a sudden shaking sensation rocked Menominee Township's residential district.  Residents reported feeling the trembling of the Earth itself and feeling unable to sense just what the cause was, going outside to investigate after fears that the cause was an Earthquake were laid to rest.  After the shaking subsided between the hours of 8:00 and 9:00 AM eastern time, residents went outside to investigate and discovered that the Earth in a straight line through their neighborhood had suddenly yawned outward leaving a crack wide enough at points for a fully grown man to fall into and deep enough for him to disappear into the darkness within.

        One anonymous poster on the internet described the event as being like ground was opening up and hell was spilling out.  State and local police were soon called and descended on the area.  Soon geologists, county officials, and fire marshals were present as well, each weighing in their expertise and each coming back to the same conclusion - it was a complete mystery.

      And since the story first broke through local news stations, theories have been spreading like wildfire blaming everything from the planet's shifting poles to nibiru and 2012.  The crack in the Earth is a definite sign of the end times for some while others are blaming an undiscovered fault line or glacial rebound due to global warming.  Regardless of the cause, however, it seems to several experts that we may be dealing with an entirely new geological phenomenon.

        And with the Earth going through so many rapid changes in such a short span of time, this certainly doesn't seem beyond the realm of reason.

      But how big of an event could this be?  The crack suggested not only the shifting of two plates along a fault line, but actually separating as well.  Had the crack been much larger, it could have threatened to create a large chasm that threatened to pull people into it as well.  But did the shift increase the risk of Earthquakes elsewhere?  Or did it indicate another shift that may be taking place in the near future? 

      As geologists work to solve the enigma of this sudden crack opening up in an otherwise peaceful neighborhood, we must be forced to simply speculate and hope this doesn't indicate a larger problem.

     As for the residents of Menominee, the crack is certainly causing no small amount of worry over what could follow.

      Could this be the result of all the oil being pumped from ground on the other side of the world causing gaps and voids that are collapsing?

Spottsville Monster Sighting---Possible Hoax

Welcome to CryptoFlorida

Recently some posts have been showing up at other sites across the web declaring that there was a sighting of the so-called Spottsville Monster. After searching feverishly for anything to show up on the news wire.....ANYWHERE.....no clue of this event has been found. What was found however is the fact that there is a documentary being filmed by Chris McGill of McGill Media, LLC -

The McGill Media crew will be following Bart Nunnelly into the western Kentucky bottom lands in search of the fabled beast according to an April of 2010 post on the Kick Acts web site.

The Kentucky Bigfoot web site holds a lengthy post on a sighting from 1975 that is way to long to be posted here but here, but we will supply the link. In a nutshell, Nunnelly's family and a neighbor had several run ins with the creature until they finally gave in and moved back to the city. One account even states that the beast could speak proper english.

We are more under the impression that it is fodder to spark interest in the documentary than anything else. The 1975 incident makes for good reading....but even it leaves much to imagination. I hope I am wrong here and something shows up in actual news or another "legitimate" cryptid site.....but for now....we have to list this one more as a publicity post than anything else.

BIGFOOT Hunters WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chinese association to hunt for "Bigfoot" search team members

     WUHAN, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- A "Bigfoot" research association in central China's Hubei Province said Saturday it plans to launch a global recruitment drive seeking members of a high-profile search team for the ape-like creature in the Shennongjia Forest Region.

     The association, made up of more than 100 scientists and explorers, is hoping the expedition could end the long-running debate on the existence of the legendary half-human, half-ape figure, nearly 30 years after the last organized expedition to seek the mysterious beast in the early 1980s, said Luo Baosheng, vice president of the Hubei Wild Man Research Association.

      Altogether more than 400 people have claimed to have seen Bigfoot in the Shennongjia area, but no hard evidence has been found to prove its existence.
According to witnesses, the creature walks upright, is more than 2 meters tall as an adult and has a gray, red or black hairy body.

      The team members should be between 25 and 40 years old. With good physical health, they should also have a basic knowledge of biology and know how to use a camera, said Luo.

    Preference would be given to those who have outdoor experience.
"Most importantly, we want the team members to be devoted, as there will be a lot a hard work in the process," he said.

    However, there is no specific timetable yet for the expedition as the association is still in talks with several companies and institutions about the funding of the expedition which will cost at least 10 million yuan (about 1.5 million U.S. dollars), said Wang Shancai, an archaeologist with the Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, who is also a member of the association.

     Located deep in the remote mountains in Hubei, Shennongjia Nature Reserve has long been rumored to be the home of the elusive creature known in China as the "Yeren," or "Wild Man."

      China organized three high-profile scientific expeditions for Bigfoot through the 1970s and 1980s. Researchers found hair, a footprint, excrement and a sleeping nest that were said to be Bigfoot's, but none of which could conclusively prove its existence.
