Bigfoot Basecamp Set

Some say Bigfoot is an interdimensional traveler who disappears when he wants to, but maybe there are no good pictures of Bigfoot because he’s so tiny. The Bigfoot Basecamp has all the things you need to create the scene of a surprised camper trying to snap a picture as Bigfoot approaches. You can take the itty bitty soft vinyl figures, between 1/2" and 1-3/8" tall, out of the box and play with them or leave them inside as a desktop display.

Starting a new thread on our Bigfoot investigation bc the first one's getting long...

Okay, so in my last few posts I kept saying what a perfect place that old church/cemetery is for us to set up basecamp. Reasons why:

I went into my research to find a spot to set up camp trying to think like an animal - any larger animal. Looking on Google Maps (satellite and terrain views), where would I hide out and how would I travel around most easily?

The trail loop itself is obviously an easy travel path. The cemetery is located within the loop. There is also a forest maintenance road within the trail loop, less than a mile to the west, that animals surely use.

I'd stay in areas close to water - there are at least a dozen isolated ponds plus multiple creeks within and around the trail loop. One pond in particular that I had marked to scout out abuts a ridge that would make for good cover, and it happens to be located just 2,000 feet from where there was a reported sighting about which I knew nothing at the time (mentioned below).

Are there abundant food sources in the immediate area? Absolutely, it's rich with game and there's plenty to forage.

The cemetery is in the woods and the road it sits off of is a very-low-traffic township road, probably zero traffic at night.

Closest house is at least a mile away. Just dense woods in between.

The area is all ridges and valleys. The cemetery is up on a hill, so we'll be able to hear farther and project sound farther (might blast that howl that was recorded last month at the trail campground about a mile south of it - see previous post).

There are caves in the area.

After we had already decided to camp there I found several more reports of activity in the area (within about an 8-mile radius), one being a reported sighting ON the trail, less than a mile NW of the cemetery. This is the one by the pond that I had already marked on the map. There's another reported sighting of multiple Bigfoots at a rental cabin in the woods just 5 miles SW of the cemetery. This story was actually featured on an episode of These Woods are Haunted. Both of these sightings are from 2020, so pretty recent (and the howl I posted that was heard from the trailhead campground was recorded not even a month ago).

From a general safety standpoint: I searched online for cell towers in the area in case of any kind of emergency and although there are very few within Wayne National Forest, there is one located just half a mile to the east of the cemetery.

I think that's everything? If Bigfoot actually does exist, that cemetery is a prime spot to set up camp and start searching. It's in the middle of everything.

Travel Channel Announces Third Annual Ghostober Event

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

If you’re afraid sticky-fingered children will invade your social distancing to get at your favorite candy, lock the doors and tune into “Ghostober.” Halloween rules again all month long on Travel Channel. Its third annual paranormal programming event takes viewers on “spine-chilling adventures to the other side – where tales of poltergeists, ghostly creatures, demons and even a few legends will keep you company,” according to their press statement.

Travel Channel’s “Ghostober” begins Sept. 27 and runs until Halloween. “Halloween is Travel Channel’s Superbowl, and with more people at home than ever before, we plan to deliver an over-the-top slate of original programming,” Matthew Butler, general manager of Travel Channel, said in a statement.

“Ghostober” has thrills and chills on lockdown. Paranormal programming will be scheduled throughout October, culminating with the top 20 of the world’s spookiest unexplained videos. “7 Nights of Fright” starts on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 9 p.m. with the two-hour countdown “Paranormal Caught on Camera: Top 100.” Leading up to the month, Paranormal Caught on Camera will be “counting down the top 100 paranormal encounters of all time,” according to the advance press. “This eye-opening compilation features the most compelling evidence, expert analysis and eyewitness accounts ever documented including: Bigfoot, UFOs, aliens, poltergeists, ghosts and a whole lot more. Seeing is believing.” The countdown begins September 27.

New episodes of Ghost Nation premiere Saturday, October 17 at 9 p.m. “The locations have bigger mysteries, are more chilling and have never been investigated on television,” reads the official synopsis. The paranormal team of Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango call in “an old friend for some help – paranormal investigator Shari DeBenedetti,” according to the synopsis. “With the help of their local contacts, they embed themselves in the community, conducting multi-day investigations in an effort to track down the true source of hauntings and restore peace to the living. They’ll do whatever it takes to entice the ghost into telling its story and stop at nothing to get to the bottom of the paranormal phenomena.”

Paranormal investigators Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Jay Wasley and Billy Tolley open up to viewers when Ghost Adventures: Screaming Room airs new episodes every Thursday at 9 p.m. “The guys are kicking back in their screening room to watch their favorite episodes of the hit series and get candid with fans – and each other – about their craziest experiences over the past decade,” according to the synopsis. “Away from the haunted locations we usually see them in, with no equipment or investigations, the crew relives some of the most terrifying, shocking and even comedic moments from their career.”

“Ghostober” will also include new Shock Docs. The first, Amityville Horror House, premieres Monday, Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. The book The Amityville Horror was published in 1977 and caused a sensation. The 1979 film adaptation was a surprise box office hit. “Today, it is the quintessential American horror story based on true events – family moves into their dream house in an all-American town and experiences the most terrifying demonic haunting imaginable,” according to the official synopsis. “Demon possession, demon attacks, a portal to hell – it was a situation so dire, even the church couldn’t help them.” The special presents the harrowing true story of Ronald DeFeo, who murdering his entire family in the Amityville house, and the 28 days the Lutz family lived there. It includes archival footage, re-creations, and rare, archival interview with George Lutz, describing the final night in the Amityville house.

The Exorcism of Roland Doe debuts on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 9 p.m. “In 1973, The Exorcist shocked moviegoers,” reads the official synopsis. “Overnight, the sinister presence of satanic evil seemed frighteningly real for millions of Americans. Archival footage shows audience members frightened out of their wits – and literally out of their seats. Some in the audience ran out of the theatre; others got physically ill or couldn’t sleep for weeks.” The special uses rare archival footage to showcase the cultural impact of the film and explore the true story of Roland Doe, the possessed boy who inspired the book The Exorcist. Also, an investigator will expose a shocking secret and possible cover-up in the real-life exorcist case.

“Shock Docs” continues with the tell-all holiday special This is Halloween, premiering Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 9 p.m. “Halloween is a time to indulge our darkest fears and live out our wildest fantasies,” reads the official synopsis. “For those who like the spooky side of life, it’s become a yearly event.” In the two-hour Shock Docs installment, This is Halloween, Travel Channel’s paranormal experts share their best Halloween stories in a nostalgic look back at everyone’s favorite haunted holiday. “From creepy costumes to the scariest pranks they’ve ever pulled, it’s a sweet and spooky trip down memory lane,” promises the advance press.

Ghost Adventures: Horror at Joe Exotic Zoo premieres Thursday, Oct. 29 at 9 p.m. In the two-hour special, Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures crew go inside the infamous Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park to investigate “sinister accounts of ghostly activity,” according to the synopsis. In this two-hour special,  the team examines claims of “tortured spirits believed to lurk in the shadows of a park tainted by tragic events like deadly fires and accidental shootings,” the synopsis reads. “Could these incidents have opened a mysterious portal to the other side? The team is prepared to confront these dark spirits as they attempt to gather evidence as to who, or what, is haunting this park.”

The special will be followed by the reopening of famed ghost hunter Hans Holzer’s original case files in the season 2 return of The Holzer Files, which airs at 11 p.m. The show returns with all-new investigations from the trail of John Wilkes Booth in Maryland to a serial killer in Ohio. Led by investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza and equipment technician Shane Pittman, the series investigates terrifying true hauntings from the recently discovered case files of America’s first ghost hunter, Dr. Hans Holzer.

Recognized as the “father of the paranormal,” Holzer’s legendary four-decade exploration into hauntings like the Amityville Horror house helped spawn a generation of supernatural enthusiasts, including Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who were inspired to write Ghostbusters. Holzer’s daughter, Alexandra Holzer, helps Travel Channel reopen her father’s most captivating case files – “digging into thousands of documents, letters, photographs and chilling audio and visual recordings dating back to the 1950s,” according to the official synopsis.

In the sneak peek of the new season of Portals to Hell, which premieres Friday, Oct. 30 at 8 p.m., Katrina Weidman and Jack Osbourne investigate Captain Grant’s Inn.  The Inn was built in 1754, “might just be the most haunted place in all of Connecticut,” according to the press statement. Carol, the current owner, claims that shortly after she purchased the property in 1986, she was taken over by an evil spirit. She conducted an exorcism to eliminate the angry spirit. “For 10 years following the exorcism, the paranormal experiences were mild, but soon Carol and her guests started to experience an uptick in ghostly activity.” Carol claims she cataloged over 300 spirits haunting the property. 

The Portals to Hell duo “seek to discover if these are historical hauntings or if there is something more sinister at play. In a risky attempt to get answers, the duo asks Carol to join the night investigation for an unprecedented experiment that leaves the entire team speechless.”

It will be followed by a special two-hour Osbourne family holiday treat, The Osbournes: Night of Terror. “Adamant on truly living up to their position as America’s first family of darkness,” Jack Osbourne takes Ozzy, Sharon and Kelly on their first-ever paranormal investigation: Los Angeles’ historical Heritage Square, a collection of active haunted houses believed to be the area’s most haunted hotspot. The collection has never been investigated for TV.  “Not only are they going to hunt ghosts together … but they’re going to love it,” promises the advance press. “As Jack and Kelly go deep into the night to investigate prolific spirit activity, Ozzy and Sharon monitor the action from basecamp. Terrifying encounters aside – of which there are plenty – in true Osbourne fashion, there’s a never a dull moment. With Kelly and Jack on the front lines of the investigation confronting unexplained disturbances, skeptics Ozzy and Sharon provide lively feedback and guidance hoping to mitigate the paranormal danger their kids are sure to face.” The Osbournes: Night of Terror premieres at 9 p.m.

Travel Channel wraps up “Ghostober” on Halloween night. The will feature a series crossover featuring ghost-hunting teams from the series Ghost Nation and Kindred Spirits. The paranormal investigators Ghost Nation – Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango – reunite with Amy Bruni and Adam Berry of Kindred Spirits for the first time in nearly a decade to investigate a Newport, Rhode Island, mansion. “Seaview Terrace is the 40,000-square-foot Rhode Island mansion famous for being featured on the TV show Dark Shadows, but the owners were shocked to find out that a recent visitor – a self-proclaimed warlock – had performed some sort of blasphemous ceremony in the house,” reads the official synopsis. “Now, they’re experiencing a shift in the mansion’s energy, unleashing something more menacing. The team scours 100 years of history to discover a notoriously patchwork past, filled with lavish high society parties and possibly a scandalous murder. Ghost Nation: Reunion in Hell premieres Saturday, Oct. 31 at 8 p.m.

“Ghostober” ends with a new episode of Destination Fear, which airs Oct. 31 at 10 p.m. The team will spend a terrifying night inside the abandoned Old Crow Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. The series’ new season premieres Saturday, October 24 at 10 p.m. Destination Fear is “a haunted road trip turned terrifying sleepover,” according to the official synopsis. “Brother and sister duo, Dakota Laden and Chelsea Laden, and best friend Tanner Wiseman, along with camera operator Alex Schroeder, confront their fears, as they pile into their RV and hit the road on a nail-biting cross-country journey to pursue paranormal evidence, spending the night inside America’s most haunted abandoned buildings.”

In the premiere Destination Fear episode, Dakota leads Chelsea, Tanner and Alex to Saratoga County Homestead Hospital, a “decaying sanitarium in upstate New York, where some patient corpses were unclaimed due to a flu pandemic,” according to the advance press. “Screams and darting shadows play mind games with the team as they struggle to pin the activity on the living or the dead.”

My First Attempt at Being Creative

Beanboozled

[ Act I Scene I ] 

Bo and Billy-Bob have just returned from an excruciatingly long scouting operation deep in the densely populated coniferous forests of Mount Saint Helens. Back at basecamp, the others sit patiently awaiting the news while unsuspected trouble is brewing. 

The two men approach the camp...

CHUCK: So, did you see anything out there in dem woods? Jon went missin some time ago, and he hasn’t been back since.

BO: We didn’t see nothin. 

CHUCK: Welp, I guess that’s what he gets. I tried to warn him that aint nobody found BigFoot, but he didn’t listen. Instead, he’s out there meetin up with online predators, getting abducted by aliens out here in the middle of nowhere. 

BILLY-BOB: Oh, shut up, that’s the wild boar that lives in your head talkin. We all know BigFoot exists. 

BO: Yeah, ain’t nobody seen him, but he’s definitely real. I just know it. 

CHUCK: What? And, when you find him y’all are gonna be rich and famous or something? 

BILLY-BOB: You better believe it! Rich. Famous. Handsome. The world will be my oyster!

BO: And, don’t forget drunk, Billy-Bob! Ah...yut, yut…yut, yut. 

BO obnoxiously chuckles like Goofy, and everyone begins to laugh with him.

BILLY-BOB: (recovering from a laughing fit) Boy, Bo, your laugh is amazing. It’s contagious! But, yeah, how could I forget? I am gonna have more boozes than I know what to do with! 

CHUCK: Sounds like a recipe for disaster if you ask me. The two of you and a bucket of booze spells out nothin but trouble. I am curious though. Who’s gonna win the booze-off? 

BILLY-BOB: Me, of course! 

BO: In your dreams, Billy-Bob, you’ll have to start practicing if you wanna hang with me and all my hot chicks. I am still undefeated back in our hometown. 

BILLY-BOB: Hey, that’s no fair! You played a dirty trick on me last time with them magic beans of yours. It was a whole lot of tom-foolry. 

BO: Yeah, sorry bout that. It sure was funny though! Yut, yut. 

BILLY-BOB: What about you though, Chuck? Are you coming to the house party? They’ll be loads of hot chicks and booze there once we’re done findin BigFoot. It’s gonna be an all-nighter! 

CHUCK: I’m old. You know I’ll be sleeping by then. Plus, I’ll be well on my way back home to Florida. 

BILLY-BOB: What’s waitin for ya in Flo-Rida? 

BO: Yeah, what’s so rootin, tootin good about Flow Rider ?

CHUCK: So...hear me out… Orlando, Florida….June 27th & 28th…The International Woodsman and Flannel Convention. It’ll be beautiful weather to admire so many well-kept flannels in one place. 

BILLY-BOB: That….sounds….awesome! We gotta rock out with our [vulgar word] out! I’ve got the perfect flannel hangin up on the back of my door! How do I get me one of dem tickets to the flannel convention? I love a good pair of overalls and a crimson striped flannel to go with it! 

CHUCK: Why, silly, no need to stress over admissions. All are invited. Tickets aren’t that expensive, and we’ve got plenty of time to scrunge the money together. 

BILLY-BOB: Wow. That’s gonna be amazing. It’ll be here before we know it! 

CHUCK: Yup! It’s the perfect way to spend the summer! 

BO: (rudely interrupting): Oh God, that’s the worst! Flannels are for hillbillies and know-nothings. I’m much more of a CAM-O-FLAGE kind of guy. I am basically invisible out here in deez parts with all the trees and shrubbery to hide amongst. 

(Chuck pitifully laughs.)

CHUCK: Well young whippersnapper, we are all entitled to our own opinions. For now though, let’s save that debate for another day and eat! 

The men all gather round the campfire and eat before quickly nestling up in their sleeping bags for a goodnight’s rest...{Some time passes.}... A terrifying growl echoes throughout the camp.

BO: Chuck. Billy-Bob. Did you hear that?

CHUCK: I’m here Bo. Where’s Billy-Bob?

BO: Look over there! Billy-Bob’s tent is tattered and empty! Oh no, BigFoot must’ve got him! We gotta find him! 

A low growl  gradually approaches the camp until Billy-Bob emerges from the brush, soiled and shaken. 

BO: Oh my goodness! Billy-Bob are you okay? What’s wrong? Did BigFoot try to nab you in your sleep? 

CHUCK: Yeah, Billy-Bob, you look terrible buddy! 

BILLY-BOB: Nope, it wasn’t BigFoot. It was those damn beans again! I ate wasabi mix and a salad with broccoli, carrots, and brussels, and now, I’m focusing on not blanking myself! 

BO: Oh, cool beans man. For a second, I thought we were goners. Yut, yut, yut, yut.
