Fortean / Alternative News: New PA Bigfoot Prints, World Record Catfish and Recent Animal Mutilation



New Fayette County, PA Bigfoot Evidence

From Eric Altman, Director of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society: These very unusual tracks were discovered on 6-8-2011 by a man who went to an area to target shoot. he claims he discovered them after investigating what caused several deer to quickly flee a wooded area. Chris Brinker, my brother in law went to investigate and was able to see the tracks and take some photos just minutes before they were destroyed by a strong thunderstorm. Only measurements and photos were taken and will be posted soon as well, no castings were made. The discovery was in Fayette County, Southwestern Pennsylvania by two men on 6-8-2011 and reported to us late that afternoon. We do not and can not conclude these are tracks left by a Bigfoot creature, we can ascertain from the photos that they are very strange tracks, possibly left by a human. We also can not rule out a hoax. Further investigations will take place this weekend. To see more photos go to New Fayette County, PA Bigfoot Evidence. New reports of Pennsylvania Bigfoot activity can be made at contact@pabigfootsociety.com or call 724-516-6344.

The tracks were found near Brownsville, PA in Fayette Co., PA

Argentina: Animal Mutilation in San Luis
By Carlos Rubén Capella

San Luis (Pelr) May 5, 2011 – Residents of the Los Eucaliptos district saw their habitual calm disturbed by a macabre discovery made by children playing along the intermittent Cuchi Corral creek. It was the carcass of a dog missing the rear half of its body and all of its entrails, as can be attested by the images accompanying this note.

Faced with this circumstance, many speculated as to the motives behind the unfortunate animal’s demise. “This one was eaten by a wild beast,” said one resident, when asked by another, who challenged him, riposting: “Had it been a wild beast, the carcass would be torn – notice that the cut is straight, as though made by a knife or something similar.”

There were also those who alleged that “this was part of a Satanic ritual.”

What is strange about the situation is that the incision made upon the animal halfway up its body is rather “clean” – that is to say, as if cut by a saw or a similar implement.

Also striking was the darker color of the animal’s flesh around the incision, as if a heat source had been involved in the cutting element.

It should be further noted that the animal was missing all of its entrails.

NOTE: This journalistic source was accompanied by a message from our colleague Andrea Pérez Simondini of the VISION OVNI research group. She says: “We arrived at the town of Merlo, San Luis, to participate in the conference held by the local planetarium, and to our surprise, a correspondent for the La República newspaper -- Eugenia Ramírez – made us aware of this event in the locality of Juana Koslay. Expect further reports.”

Ohio man claims 'wolf scratch' made him growl at police

Thomas Stroup, 20, of Sheffield Township was arrested after attacking people and growling at police officers, blaming his behaviour on being scratched by a wolf in the woods. He also said he blacks out when the moon comes out.

Sheriff’s deputies were sent to Timber Ridge Campground early on Sunday after receiving a report of a “very violent,” out-of-control male. Stroup’s friend told dispatchers he had drunk too much alcohol and was fighting with other campers and had kicked a dog cage.

Deputies found Stroup passed out under a trailer that had its door open, revealing numerous knives, swords and edged weapons. They woke Stroup, who wouldn’t open his eyes and would only growl at them. Stroup, who spoke with a thick Russian accent, slurred his words and had difficulty standing.

As Stroup was taken to a cruiser, he yelled at a deputy, “I’m going to kill your cousin, Keith!” No one knew who Keith was. While en route to the Lorain County Jail, Stroup said he had been scratched by a wolf in the woods and blacks out when the moon comes out. He was charged with underage consumption of alcohol. - northcoastnow

One-Armed Bandit and....

Police are trying to find the man they say held up a SEFCU bank in Albany.

A man missing his left arm from the elbow down walked into the bank just after noon. He walked up to the teller and asked for cash.

Police say he never showed a weapon. The suspect then took the cash and fled on foot.

No one was hurt. Police say the one-armed suspect is a white man about 5'9" tall. - fox23news

....One-Legged Burglar

A one-legged thief was caught after leaving a trail of solitary footprints at the scene of the crime. David Phillips, whose leg is amputated above the knee, had stolen computers and jewellery in a series of raids.

But he was trapped when he left a string of crutch marks and right footprints in muddy ground at the scene of one of his break-ins. The tell-tale trail led right to his flat and a police source said: "It was not the hardest series of crimes to solve as he cuts a pretty distinctive figure with one leg.

"By the time he left a trail in the mud, even Inspector Clouseau might have managed to collar him." Phillips, 44, was jailed for 40 months at Perth Sheriff Court after admitting housebreaking, breaching a curfew and brawling with police. The court was told he lost his leg through drugs and didn't know it had been amputated until he woke up in Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.

Alan Kempton, prosecuting, said as well as the muddy trail, police found DNA traces at one scene. Phillips laughed and told them it would not be his. But it proved a perfect match. John McLaughlin, defending, said: "He is hoping a prosthetic leg will be available soon which will enable him to lead a more active life." - dailyrecord

Welsh Angler Catches World Record Giant Mekong Catfish

David Kent, a 54-year-old Welsh angler, now holds the all-tackle record for the largest species of freshwater fish in the world. He earned his record by hauling in a 260-pound Giant Mekong catfish from a lake in Thailand last November. It is the largest freshwater fish to ever be caught on record.

His catch was made official by the IGFA this week, according to WalesOnline.

Kent is a retired Royal Navy Commander and was on vacation at a fishing resort with his wife when he hooked this monster fish using sweetcorn as bait. The battle lasted about an hour, and at one point Kent had to wade into the lake so the fish wouldn't spool him.

Even though Kent's catfish measures more than 7 feet long, it's by no means the largest member of its species. Mekong catfish have been estimated to grow up to 660 pounds and 9 feet long.

“I usually catch bass weighing four or five pounds off the Pembrokeshire coast so this [fish] was a bit bigger than I’m used to," Kent told WalesOnline.
