Apparent BIGFOOT PHOTO CAPTURES Along Pond in Northeast Indiana

Posted on By Charlielikes

“A friend’s father in Northeast Indiana bought a large property with a pond and decided to set up a trail cam overlooking this pond. My friend’s dad has been freaked out the past few months after capturing this on his trail cam, then proceeds to show me 2 screen captures of what may be a Bigfoot. This thing looked to be six and a half to eight feet tall, thick all over especially in the shoulders, and covered in cinnamon-red hair. It has a pointed head and you can even you can even see this hairy beast’s reflection in the pond. I’m certain it’s legit after further inspection and just going off the reliable source I’ve known since I was a little kid. In the photo, it looks like this thing was checking itself out in the water or holding an object like animal feet or a club. I don’t know.”

NOTE: I don’t know what triggered the trail camera in these images since the creature was a fair distance away. Anyway, what are your thoughts? Lon

According to First Nations legend, the Thunderbird is said to have a wingspan the length of two canoes with the ability to deafen people with the sound of its flapping wings.

In March 2010, the late Jc Johnson of Crypto Four Corners contacted me about an incident where twenty-four sheep were mutilated at a farm near Hogback, New Mexico, on the Dine’ Navajo Reservation. The livestock owner explained that there were large talon marks but very little blood and no evisceration. The prints on the ground were only seen in the corral, not anywhere else on the farm. Was this an attack by a large flying predator? Why were the carcasses left intact?

Jc mentioned that a large cryptid bird or pterosaur may have been responsible for this act. That theory is not as far-fetched as it may initially sound. For many generations, people in New Mexico and parts of Texas say they’ve seen birds so big they seem prehistoric. There is convincing anecdotal evidence that many of these legendary winged creatures are connected to modern sightings.

I believe that many of these winged cryptids are corporeal beings that can manifest on our plane of existence. Their point of origin and means of conveyance is speculative. But this is the reason why we research and investigate this phenomenon. The search continues.

So, listen to the reports, and form your conclusions about what these monstrous birds are. If you have questions, feel free to post them in the live chat. I will do my best to answer everyone.

Multiple 4-FOOT-TALL ‘OWL’ Encounters reported in Indiana Neighborhood

Posted on By Charlielikes

An individual contacted me about 2 instances of a 4-foot-tall ‘owl’ claimed to have been seen in his Indiana neighborhood by friends. He states that he later encountered an unexplained large black mass.

I recently received the following accounts:

“One night in early summer, I believe, a guy named Kevin came back to my girlfriend at the time, little brother’s house. He started to tell us he had seen a 4-foot-tall owl leaving his house last night. I grew up in this very area (in Indiana) when I was younger. And at first, I thought he was telling us some cheesy joke or story. When he didn’t laugh, we knew he was serious. That’s when we started to laugh at him.

He claimed this happened to him right across the street, and about halfway through the woods. I completely thought he was making this up, wasn’t sure why he would though. I personally thought he was lying. I then asked him if this happened across the street then take me to where you saw it then. I’m glad I had him show me. At the time I really thought he was double downing on his lie. I wasn’t expecting anyone else to follow us, but everyone who came with me was there.

When he brought us to the spot I looked carefully, being the outdoorsman I was. Nothing, no scratches on the ground, no blood no fur. He also added he thought it was eating something because as he cut through he thought someone was sitting hunched over in the dark. He then added that he said ‘Who’s there?’ It lifted up over this head carrying something he thought. He said it then screeched at him, and that was all. We laughed and made fun of him for the next few years even. He got it bad. We thought he was lying and we all figured if you’re going to lie, you’re going to have to deal with us making fun of you for catching you in that lie. Kevin never brought it up again or even tried to defend himself. I looked right at him, and asked, ‘Why to pick an owl? He was a little confused by this question. And just said what do you mean? Then I said, ‘Why pick an owl. Owls aren’t even scary.’

Then in the early spring of 2007, my friend Josh, who lived a few streets over from where this Kevin guy was, saw this 4-foot-tall owl. I completely forgot he told us about it unless we would see him for a laugh. I thought he was just making it up.

Josh and I cut through the same woods he saw it in, but from the other way. We could see all the way through from the street. His woods is long, but maybe only 100 yards wide. As we get to about halfway, we both hear something running on the leaves in our direction fast. I’m a little bit taller than Josh. I was able to turn around and took a few steps jumping and pulling myself up. Josh was running out of time, and I told him to jump and grab my hand. There was a mean pitbull dog that the owners would sometimes let loose at night to roam. At the last second Josh jumped on a little sapling tree and climbed it like a rope.

About two weeks later we would be doing the same thing again, only when we heard the leaves moving on the ground it was a large raccoon instead. I started to walk again, towards Dennis’s house and then I heard a wooden diving board noise. When I heard this, I just stopped in my tracks and started to scan looking for the source of the noise. Eventually, I’d turn around and started to look behind us, and that’s when I noticed the very large branch, still whipping up and down. Now even more confused I’m looking for what came out of this large branch, not seeing anything. Most if not all my focus was on the ground near the base of the large oak tree. The way the limb was moving something very large would have jumped out. The only thing that didn’t make sense was, I’m looking at nothing on the ground. I turned back to Josh and said ‘Bobcat,’ only to have him roll his eyes at me. I wouldn’t have believed it either except to me it was the only thing that would have weighed enough to shake the branch like that but never make a sound possibly when it hit the ground. So I’m literally waiting for a big cat to show itself and pounce. After another full minute, nothing happens and I’m even more confused and started to walk toward Dennis’s house. I take a few more steps, still looking around but facing forward back at his house.

I started to catch movement out of the top corner of my eye and what I explain next, I would have never thought in a million years I’d be telling or saying. It was just a black mass or a black ball shape, darker than the night sky around it. When I see this I freeze because I’m just not sure what I’m looking at. It’s still above the tree tops, halfway through this woods probably putting it in the 100 ft range up, just right above the tips of the tree. I was first and Josh was still somewhere behind me. I stayed focused on the dark movement and didn’t want to lose view of what it was.” JF

The first four Indiana Jones movies haven’t been available on Disney Plus in the past, thanks to an agreement between Disney and Paramount that split distribution rights between the two studios. Previously, you had to head over to Paramount Plus if you wanted to get an Indy fix, but that’s all changing just in time for the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Apropos of Dial of Destiny’s upcoming June 30th release, Disney announced today during its upfront event that the first four Indiana Jones movies will be available to stream beginning on May 31st.

HUGE CRYPTID ‘RACCOON’, Possible DOGMAN, Encountered in North-Central Indiana

Posted on By Charlielikes

A group of teens is exploring a wooded area north of Indianapolis, Indiana when they encounter a Great Dane-sized creature that had markings similar to a raccoon.

“This happened 9 years ago in the early spring when I was 15 years old (Spring 2014). I was at a friend’s house in corn country about an hour north of Indianapolis. Nowadays I am very familiar with the paranormal/unexplained having multiple shared experiences with friends, but at the time I was a major skeptic. I didn’t fully process what we saw until years later.

I came over to my friend’s house to hang out like any other time. I brought my pellet gun (he had one as well) so we could shoot some moles on his farm property. After a while, his brother joined us and we eventually got bored of looking for moles. There was a patch of woods about the size of 2 football fields a little over a mile away completely surrounded by empty cornfields with no access points from the nearby road. The three of us decided to walk out there because why not? We were bored kids looking for fun. We put on some boots and headed out with our pellet guns.

The walk wasn’t super far but it took us a while to reach the woods because all the spring rain from earlier in the week made the empty field a big mud pit. So muddy your foot disappears with each step. Then right as we walked through the brush surrounding the edge of the woods we saw it. The best way I can describe this thing is it was a raccoon that was built like a Great Dane. We had seen coyotes and wolves before and this was not that. It 100% looked like the biggest raccoon we had ever seen. We could tell we caught it off guard because it was just standing there on all fours grooming itself and then it immediately locked eyes with us when one of us pointed at it and said, “Look at that thing!” There were a couple of seconds where we just looked at it as it looked back at us before it quickly turned around and scaled a 60ft tree. We lost sight of it in the canopy. We then looked at each other and were like “WTF was that?”

We talked about how the way it climbed the tree was what freaked us out the most. It only took a few strides up the tree using its front two paws to grab a spot on the tree to lift and launch itself up the tree. The arms were freakishly long and lanky looking when it climbed. It honestly looked somewhat human in the way it articulated its arms as it climbed. Like its elbows jutted out to the sides as it pulled itself up. We talked about how freaky that was some more and decided to keep looking around because even though we were spooked, it was intriguing and we wanted to see if there was any other freaky stuff around. There definitely was.

The woods were littered with easily over 100 animal carcasses/bone piles. Most of them were cows, raccoons, and opossums. There was one spot (maybe 25x25ft) that had at least a dozen cow carcasses ranging from just the bone left to one that looked less than a week old. They were definitely being eaten by something with huge chunks of flesh missing. I know cows get loose all the time but damn if this didn’t look like a feeding spot. My theory is this thing was stealing cows from local farms for food, there are a couple within 5 miles.

We also found a man-made small pond near the middle of the woods, which couldn’t have been more than 6 feet wide. A shovel and plastic bucket was sitting next to it. Once we found that were pretty freaked out again and decided we better head back because we had less than two hours of daylight left and there was a lot of thick deep mud to slowly walk through to get back.

That’s pretty much it. At the time it freaked me out a bit but looking back now, knowing what skinwalkers are, I’m just happy we came back completely unscathed. Unfortunately, I don’t hang out with those guys anymore and I tried to go back with some different friends somewhat recently only to see that the woods had been cleared out and there was nothing there. I thought I was tripping out but I looked on Google Earth and I could see in its place was dirt and log piles. Probably an omen to not chase this thing, I’ll take it at face value.

I haven’t heard of the dogman but this thing didn’t look like a dog/coyote at all. I just used Great Dane as a size comparison as it was freakishly large to be looking like a raccoon. Yes, it had a striped tail like a raccoon. It had the face of a raccoon, specifically the large black spots around its eyes. Stubby almost rounded ears like a raccoon. It had bushy fur like a raccoon. We saw it very clearly with no obstructions from about 30-40 feet away. It was early spring and the brush inside the canopy was still dead.”

NOTE: Probably not a skinwalker. Most likely a cryptid canine of some sort. The location (north of Indianapolis, Indiana) has had cryptid canine reports, so I’m assuming that this may be an example of one. Your thoughts? Lon
