Cryptid of the Day: Kinderhook Blob

Description: In 1962, Bruce Hollenbeck was 10 years old, playing with his cousin in the woods behind his house, when they heard a high pitch whistle. That’s when they saw a white object peering at them from behind a pine tree. Two years later, two men walking in the woods saw a similar creature. The blob was last seen by two 14 year old boys while they were camping.

In 1962, Bruce Hallenbeck was 10 years old and loved to play in the woods of Kinderhook, New York. He and his cousin were playing behind Hallenbeck's house when a loud whistling sound pierced the air. The children stopped in their tracks, obviously confused by the noise. While looking for the source of the sound, the children saw a mysterious figure behind a tree. It was white object that was peeking around the tree at the two kids. Hallenbeck reported that the creature had no eyes despite the fact that he thought it was watching them. They quickly ran back to the house.

For two years, nothing else was seen. Until an anonymous witness claimed to see a floating white blob moving toward him while he was on a hike. He ran away in fear but returned to the scene with his friend, armed with a shovel and pitchfork. Upon seeing the creature again, the two men dropped their weapons and ran away.

Other sightings reportedly also took place in 1964. Some witnesses claimed to see the creature in 1978 where it was described as "bell shaped". There were even sightings of the Kinderhook Blob as recently as 2017. Witnesses Owen Farley and Anthony Malanowski described the creature as 7 feet tall. It floated toward them at a high speed and the two men ran away as fast as they were able.

The Kinderhook Blob

Kinderhook Blob Found in New York, this creature was first spotted in the 1960’s.  Two children saw it first, but all those afterwards were adults.  All of them encountered the Kinderhook Blob while walking in the woods.  So, what did people see? Well, the name pretty much suits this creature.  It is found in the woods of Kinderhook, New York and it’s a blob.  It is white and floats through the…

I was born and raised into the LDS faith. I paid a full tithing on my gross. At home, I actively prayed, read the scriptures, watched and attended General Conference, held Family Home Evenings with my family, and did everything else a good Mormon should do. I am an avid reader, I study cryptography and mathematics for fun, I love solving puzzles. I was a Mormon.

When the church published a series of 13 Gospel Topics Essays on their website, a friend pointed out to me that the church finally admitted that Joseph Smith was a polygamist. I fought back, because I was raised and taught that he was monogamous, and even went so far as to tell my friend he must be mistaken, or the church had it wrong.

However, I admitted that I didn’t know a lot about the issue, and promised him I would look into it. As an avid reader, and an amateur researcher, I held to my promise. But the deeper I dug into Joseph Smith’s history, the deeper I went down the rabbit hole of LDS church history.

I was soon learning not only about Joseph Smith’s polygamy, but also his folk magic, and the problems with the Book of Abraham, and the Kinderhook Plates, and so much more, to the point that it became very clear to me that the narrative I was learning was not matching the dominant narrative I learned growing up, nor the dominant narrative that is currently being taught.

I tried hard to give space for the historicity of the church claims, but every essay, paper, blog post, podcast episode, and so much more, was lined with mountains and mountains of references and citations, all of which could be verified. The “anti-mormon” literature I was reading was really the true church history, and it rocked my world.

I was deeply consumed with everything I could get my hands on to try so hard to prove that these “antimormon lies” were just that – lies. But it the exact opposite. After 9 months of intense and exhausting research, I realized that the evidence for the truth claims lied overwhelmingly with the critics of Mormonism, and not the apologetics.

For months, I dealt with anger and depression, as I tried to wrestle with 40 years of my life essentially being a lie. But, the storm settled, the relationship with my wife grew stronger, and now I have honest conversations with my wife and daughter about real issues, doctrine and policy, that shape our lives and the lives around us. These discussions are healthy, they provide deep reflection and introspection into difficult topics, and we have a space where we are happy, vibrant, and authentic.

CALLING LITERALLY EVERYONE ON EXMO TUMBLR

i have been outed as a PIMO by my parents after a fight about my tithing and now i'm standing here trying to defend my exmormon POV to my TBM parents

if anyone can give me 100% solid evidence i can use in a debate against them it would be absolutely lifesaving /gen

bonus points if you can find something that can combat the Gospel Topic Essays

I've tried;

the kinderhook plates (they said 'you just found some fabrication on the internet')

joseph's plural marriages to teenage girls ('that was normal in that day and age')

the city creek centre ('that's so members can have somewhere to shop in the last days so they can survive')

the fact that no one can find the original bible manuscript ('god just took it back to heaven')

they're fucking impossible so i need some help here i'm begging y'all

thanks in advance
