Two Reports Say Witnesses Saw 'Monster' In Area

MERTON, Wis. -- Two bizarre sightings of an alleged "monster" in Waukesha County are prompting some local residents to wonder whether witnesses saw the legendary Bigfoot.

David and Dillon Radeztsky said that they saw a mysterious creature in Merton, WISC-TV reported.

"We saw just a hairy monster on the corner of the woods," David said.

"I saw it leaning on a tree," Dillon said.

This report comes after another sighting near Holy Hill in Washington County. In that instance, a man claimed a Bigfoot-like creature took a deer from the back of his truck.

The description in both cases is the same: a 7-foot tall, hairy "monster".

A group investigating Bigfoot sightings will visit the area to look into the reports, WISC-TV reported.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Wis. -- What's 7 feet tall, hairy and roams the local woods after midnight?

People are trying to figure that out in Washington County.

WISN 12 News' reporter Mike Miller talked to the man who had a close encounter with this mystery animal.

At about 1 a.m. Thursday, Steve Krueger was out doing his job. He contracts with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to remove dead dear from roadsides. He had just put a carcass in the back of his truck and climbed into his cab when something strange happened.

"I felt the truck shake. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a large, black furry figure reaching into the back of the truck. At that point and time, I threw the truck into drive and gunned it, because it scared the dickens out of me," Krueger said.

Krueger told Miller he was reluctant to even report it to authorities because he knew it sounded unbelievable. But he wanted police and the public to know that there's something out there that could be dangerous.

At nearby Cabela's Outfitters, hunters were skeptical.

"About the only thing that matches that description would be a bear or a gorilla, and we don't have gorillas around here," Cabela's curator Marshall Henricks said.

Krueger told Miller has was not drinking on the job. He has seen black bears before, and whatever he saw had much longer, pointy ears.

"Generally, there's not many of them around here. Plus, with a truck sitting there with somebody in it with the motor running -- it's an animal that's not normally near people," Henricks said.

"A black bear wouldn't come up to the truck?" Miller asked.

"They're very elusive," Henricks said.

"I never said it was a Bigfoot or a Yetti or anything of that sort. It was some sort of an animal that was large. Whatever it was, it was there," Krueger said.

In Search of the Elusive Pennsylvania Mountain Lions

Also: Pennsylvania Lion Confirmed


When it comes to creepy creatures, Pennsylvania doesn't hold a candle to other parts of the country. The Pacific Northwest has Bigfoot, New Mexico has space aliens and Puerto Rico is home to the fearsome chupacabra, a grotesque monster that supposedly sucks the blood out of livestock.

What Pennsylvania does have, however, is a seemingly endless fascination with mountain lions. Call it the Nittany Lion effect, but it's clear there are thousands of residents who truly believe there are cougars among us.

Pennsylvania's last known pair of wild mountain lions was killed near Lock Haven, Clinton County, in 1871. A mountain lion was killed by a hunter in Potter County in 1967, but the commission said that animal was an escaped pet.

Still, the overwhelming absence of proof has done little to discourage residents from submitting dozens of mountain lion sightings to the Pennsylvania Game Commission each year. Cal DuBrock, director of the commission's Bureau of Wildlife Management, said the number of reports seems to have hit an all-time high in recent months.

''I can't recall a time when we've had more,'' DuBrock said. ''Yet we don't have a carcass in hand or any tangible evidence.''

DuBrock said the commission has always investigated mountain lion sightings. But up until now, the agency didn't have an official protocol for responding to them, keeping track of how many reports were received or where they came from.

Starting this month, commission officials who respond to mountain lion reports will collect a standard set of information, including eyewitness accounts, photographs, videos and any physical evidence such as hair, tracks and scat.

''We'll be able to quantify the reports, and, in a sense, qualify them,'' DuBrock said.

Just because the commission has developed a standard method for tracking lion sightings doesn't mean officials believe the animals are here. In fact, DuBrock said the new procedures were created largely out of frustration about how much time agency employees have wasted following up reports that lead nowhere.

In the past, the commission has received photographs, videotapes, tracks and scat from a variety of animals — including bobcats, housecats, foxes, fishers, coyotes and bears — that people thought were mountain lions.

Despite that, commission officials don't completely rule out the possibility that a mountain lion or two may be roaming around out there. But if they are, officials can't understand why a cougar hasn't been shot or killed on a highway.

In Florida, for example, where a remnant population of about 100 endangered panthers remains, as many as 10 of the big cats are struck by vehicles each year. And here in Pennsylvania, DuBrock said, between 100 and 200 bobcats are road-killed each year, along with more than 300 bears.

''People must be scarfing up the mountain lions when they're hit,'' DuBrock joked.

All kidding aside, DuBrock said he believes the commission's new methods will go a long way to either debunking the mountain lion myth or collecting the kind of hard evidence that has been so elusive for so long.

''We're not looking for more accounts. We're looking for more credible accounts,'' DuBrock said. ''There are some who are attempting to perpetuate a hoax, but there are many people of high integrity who are seeing something .''

Determining exactly what, however, often proves impossible.

''Sometimes,'' DuBrock said, ''you just feel like you're chasing the wind.''

PLEASE NOTE: There have been many reports of Eastern puma or mountain lion sightings throughout the Mid-Atlantic. In fact, there have been 2 separate sighting reports (Randallstown...were I live) in west Baltimore County, MD since 1983.

Newbury UFO Debate Reignited

NEWBURY, BERKSHIRE, UK - The saga surrounding the mysterious lights which have baffled locals and experts alike recently has been revived with a fresh spate of sightings. Three locals have come forward to report seeing unusual objects in the sky, from blazing fireballs to light formations which left drivers on the M4 braking to catch a glimpse.

The sightings will add to the enigma surrounding the lights. In late September, Newbury residents claimed to have witnessed triangular formations of lights hovering over Greenham Common and other parts of the district. So far, the MOD and the Met Office have been unable to account for the phenomena.

Christine Prater of Marsh Lane, Curridge, opened her bedroom curtains early on the Sunday morning of October 22 to see two bright orange lights silently streaking across the sky at phenomenal speed. The sighting has left her wondering what exactly she might have seen.

She said: “As I came back into the bedroom, I opened the curtains and in the sky there was a little light that caught my eye - two bright orangey lights side-by-side, literally whizzing across the sky from west to east. It was like fireworks with sparks flying out from the sides.

“It was going very fast, and it was not a plane. I thought at first it was but then when I looked it was going much too fast. I could not hear anything either - no noise. That’s what I thought was so strange." Anna Burnett of Lambourn said she was travelling eastbound along the M4 between junctions 13 and 14 on Tuesday when she saw three strange bright lights over the motorway in a pyramid formation. “One light suddenly disappeared and then the other two stayed for a while, and then disappeared also. The lights were so close together that it didn’t seem as though they were planes. Drivers were braking to see the lights.”

Local resident Sadie Ives reported seeing a huge fireball moving across the sky last Thursday, and is also searching for answers. “At first I thought it was a hot air balloon because of the flames, but then I thought there is no way that would be flying in the dark. Was there a meteor shower or is there any news of an aircraft on fire?”

Clairvoyant Used in Saddam Hussein's Capture?

According to an Israeli-born psychic Uri Geller, the December 2003 capture of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was not simply a matter of luck or the work of sophisticated intelligence gathering. Rather, members of a US paranormal program used psychic powers to locate the tiny hole containing the bearded and bedraggled dictator.

Geller claims to have worked for the Central Intelligence Agency during the Cold War. He said on Monday that his knowledge of the psychic discovery of Saddam is gathered from a high-level source in the secret US paranormal program.

He said he held letters revealing the information but refused to name his source.

In an interview with Reuters, Geller said, "You remember when they found Saddam Hussein in Iraq? A soldier walked over to a rock, lifted it and then found a trap door and found him in there. Well, I know that that soldier walked over to that rock because he got information from a 'remote viewer' from the United States."

The 'remote viewer' according to Geller is a kind of psychic who located Saddam with his or her mind thousands of miles away.

Officials for the U.S. did not take time to comment on the subject, only noting that a source close to Saddam had spoken of his whereabouts under interrogation.

Last year, a Brazilian psychic attempted to collect a $25 million reward for Saddam's capture. The psychic said that he had written letters to the U.S. government with explicit descriptions of the ousted leaders hiding hole.

Possible Thylacine Spotted?

UPDATE: March 2, 2007 - German Tourist Vows to Film an Australian Tiger

Did another 'Down Under' vacationer snap a photograph of a thylacine? Shortly before his death, Steve Irwin claimed that he had taken photos of a Thylacine in the wild. There have been other claims of sightings the past few years including this recent account.



Comments from a recent posting: A friend of mine went on vacation to Australia, and he e-mailed me this picture a week ago- he said he snapped a picture as soon as he saw the animal, and the flash made it run away.. He said it was small, like a puppy, and it ran akwardly towards a larger "striped German-shephard /Kangaroo thing", and they both disappeared into the brush.

He called it a "Striped Puppy Kangaroo Thing", and he sent it to me because I used to be a vet tech and can ID almost any animal, and am especially good with dog breeds. I think he may have seen 2 Thylacines, but it’s not a good picture. He took one as they were running off, too, but you can’t see anything in it except bushes and the night sky. When he showed me the picture, I told him I thought they may be Tassie Tigers, and that he should tell someone.I also told him to hold on to his pictures since in my research I read that sometimes when people report sightings park rangers confiscate their evidence. He wrote me the next day saying that everyone he talked to told him he didn’t see a Tassie Tiger, and he said a policeman he mentioned it to threatened to take him in for pranking. When he told the cop it wasn’t a prank, the cop told him "You didn’t see anything, understood?"

I’ve known this boy forever, and he is always honest (brutally so, at times)

What do you think?

He finally ok’d me to share it, but he wants his identity to remain private. He was very offended by the people in Tasmania calling him a liar, and the cop shook him up pretty bad. He seems convinced that that cop will track him down, the poor guy

Anywho, it’d be nice to find out what other people think of this…

I think it’s damn convincing. Aside from the damn plant in the way, I’d say I’m convinced. The number of stripes is variable, from what I’ve read, and this is also a pup, as he said.. I can’t find any info on patterns of pups- does anyone else have info?

If anyone is out there who maybe has equipment to maybe edit out the plants or something, that would be great

By the way- He said he was hiking near "Savage River" when he took this photo, and that it was not far from a wildlife preserve or park of some sort, yet he was also not far from all sorts of factories and mining operations…

If this truly is a Tassie, then that’s also a horrible place for some polluting, disgusting mines.

Ghost Whisperer's Haunted Set

The set of Jennifer Love Hewitt's hit TV show Ghost Whisperer is haunted, according to the actress.
Love Hewitt plays a woman who can communicate with the recently deceased in Ghost Whisperer, and the cast and crew are spooked in real life too.

She tells chat show host Megan Mullally, "We've had lights move, literally three and a half inches to the left, as you're sitting there the lights move.

"We've had lights burst over actors' heads when they're playing people who don't believe in ghosts. A light will burst into a million pieces right over
them.

"People are like, 'We're not guest-starring on that show!'

"But for us as a crew we're kind of like, 'Awesome! Maybe they (the ghosts) are with us.'"

Mystery Tracks of Arkhangelsk

Regnum (News Service) presents a photographic report from the place where footprints of, supposedly, a Yeti, most commonly referred to as an “Abominable Snowman,” have been found.

The footsteps were found near the village Shogorka, 35 kilometers off the Kargapor settlement in the Pinezh region of the Arkhangelsk Oblast by a local hunter Leonid Skomorokhov. He found 30 footsteps within the 24-meters area. The length of each footstep is 31 centimeter, it looks like a paw with a long triangular claw on the tip of each finger. The footstep length is more than 1.5 meters.

According to director of the Northern branch of the All-Russian research institute of hunting economy and fur farming Vladimir Korepanov, some of the footsteps belong to a bear, and some of them remind those of Primates and Ursidae simultaneously. Local residents have already made molds of the footprints.

Local bear species have been excluded. The tracks are just to long and narrow. But these imprints look strange, having a length and shape similar to that of a human but with extremely triangular clawmarks (unknown in primates). Of course, these may be fakes....but the information gathered so far mainly discounts trickery.
