Chasing the Supernatural Across the Internet

You know by now that I love the supernatural, urban legends, unsolved mysterious happenings. I can get sidetracked so easily by a reported UFO sighting or a friend who’s hearing weird noises in her house.


Cryptozoology gets me so excited I have to run and pee before I can read a new article. Webcam footage of a ghost in your kitchen? I am so there. I will watch it over and over. A YouTube video from Mexico supposedly showing a creepy gnome that walks sideways kept my attention for days. In fact, going over there just now to find the link for you cost me the last 45 minutes since there were so many other cool things to watch afterward.  Here. Watch this creepy video:



Before you get too down on me, no, I don’t believe everything I see. I don’t know what the hell is in that video above, but it creeps me out. And that’s enough.


I like the little shiver that comes with not knowing. The whisper in my ear that says “Holy crap, what is that?” The feeling of disorientation when I’m not sure if somebody faked it, something weird is going on, or a reasonable explanation is just out of reach.


Here’s a video by someone who can’t seem to spell very well, but who’s managed to collect a wonderful variety of photos and artwork of the various flying cryptids out there—Thunderbirds, rods, mothman, pterodactyls. It’s a good collection.



True story: I lost some major time over the past week writing this post. Just one more video, that’s all. If I can find one more good one, I’ll put it in the post and be done.


And I kept watching. Don’t be like me, folks. If you’ve got work to do, stay away from YouTube videos.


I never did find that “just one more.” Then a friend of mine posted a news story on Facebook. Three, as you know, is a magic number, so I couldn’t finish this post until I had something. And there it was–a group of high school kids who saw a Bigfoot. Gold.


ABC News: Bigfoot Spotted in Idaho? (Link opens in a new tab. Sorry, I couldn’t embed the video.)


Bigfoot Spotted in Idaho. Awesome.


Have a great weekend!
