Hello friends, For some reason or another, cold weather always piques my curiosity and intrigue into the world of Bigfoot. And the leaves are already beginning to turn. :)
I truly appreciate the work you put into your videos, I have a lot goin on in my life currently and every time a new video comes out I like to make some time to sit down and watch a video or even re watch old ones, it sure helps get away from the chaos for a minute. Keep up the awesome work!
Hey bob have you ever thought about doing a video on the giant python that Remy Van Lierde took photos of in the Congo?👀 Anyways always happy to see you upload a video, they always make my day.
Yes, it is the perfect time for Sasquatch sightings. The late summer and fall...for sure. Love your work good sir. My name is Hugh and I have been a Sasquatch enthusiast since I was a kid in the '70s and you sir have some of the most entertaining videos and content that one can find anywhere. I would recommend to anyone that is interested in Sasquatch/Bigfoot to get the last actual printed newsletter on the subject...The Bigfoot Times by legendary Sasquatch historian Daniel Perez. At any rate, always enjoy your videos Bob. Peace brother.
"If you're a self respecting 10 year old boy, and a policeman stops you to ask if you've seen a 3 legged monster, you just say yes. _Those are the rules..."_ *Rating: True.*
You are right. Similar proof of this can be observed in the old police interrogation trick of asking a child/young adult found in the area of an incident if they happened to see a couple of (insert the appropriate minority or sub culture members) running from the scene. The child, thinking there can be no harm in confirming what the cop “already knows” will probably say yes. The police then tell the child there actually was NOBODY seen in the area and begins to expose and exploit the child as a liar. The pressure, feelings of shame and guilt have been known to get the unsettled child/young adult to confess to something they didn’t do. It’s a terrible technique that ruined lives.
We thought we had lost our puppy and ran out into the street, closing the door behind us. A boy of about 8 or 9 helpfully told us he had JUST seen it running down the street, and he pointed to where he saw it last. Off we ran, in pursuit. An hour later, we found the puppy hiding in a corner of the kitchen.
"that they were just partying with guns," and monster or not, it sounds like a good way to spend a night....lol you sound like a fun guy to hang out with Bob.
The fact that the guy didn't call 911 doesn't really mean anything. 911 was first implemented in 1968, but even by 1979, only 26% of the US population had access to it. 50% of the US population had access only by 1987. And in 2000, still only 93% of America had access to 911 services. Did this guy even have access in his area when this occurred?
whoever does your art is epic. That drawing of the guy kicking back with the baby 'roos is awesome, and points out how the skeptics always seem to have an answer. You dont even need to have a question, but they got the answer every time. no mysteries for them. its all figured out. Jeez. that nuzzling with the kangaroo gets me, lol.
Sorry, my bad. You are right. I got my channels mixed up. It says in the "About" section the artist is Fred Dunn. It gives a link to his RU-vid channel.
No one has ever interviewed the kids. This would be interesting to hear their recollections 48 years later. Illinois is 4th highest in Bigfoot reports. I remember reading about another kangaroo sighting in Illinois farther north. It was not as definitive a sighting as this but its out there.
I live in Australia sometimes there are kangaroos in my back yard looking for greenery to graze on. Never have they tried to gain access to my house through my air conditioner. Yet.
@R A Clark that part sounds like something I’ve heard a bear do to get at insolation like in a fridge. But bears aren’t known to be in Illinois ever so it’s hard to say.
Holy shit Illinois is the 4th highest in Bigfoot reports? damn thats crazy I feel like I should have known that already Sadly I have never seen anything only ghost
8:08 (guy in the very back, with his mouth wide open): "Fock, we fuckin' saw a three-legged monster...it fuckin' tried to steal me bottle of ripple, so if we see it again, we'll fockin' blow it back to Maaars"...
If the Enfield Horror was around for over two weeks and was hiding out in the woods maybe the bigfoot saw it too? And was just as freaked out by it as McDaniel was
@@blakeb9964 I think the reality is that our world is filled with things that have escaped official classification. Not necessarily paranormal or supernatural, but just thinks that have, for one reason or another, been deemed verboten by academia. It isn't that bigfoot sightings are mystically linked to other unexplained things, but that people talking about one unusual thing lets people be open about other unusual things they see.
I just went a skateboarded 6 moles to the AM/PM in the town neaxt over to buy one, because you were talking about wine. I caught a wonder-pebble and fell off my board, I smacked my head really hard, because it's cold tonight, so my hands were snagged in my jacket pocket,? So I mainly landed on the left side of my upper-face, then because it was mostly downhill, when I crashed going that fast, I skidded off the pedestrian overpass into the creek. Now, I'm sweaty, creekwater-wet and the C.H.P. says I have to wait 45 minutes before Medi-Flight gets here, and County Sheriffs won't let the E.M.T. into the creekbed, because of all the blackberries down here. Sheriff's say if Medi-Flight has one of those U-Haul pads, they'll think about it. I'm so glad I mail-ordered that money order to Ecchs Vise-Preznit Odo, I don't think I have cash money if I pass out in the Medi-Copter. All them cats are tricky. 🎉
I can't believe I wrote a screenplay in reply to a 2 year old comment. Ehh.. this dang creekwater is making me shiver, I can't feel your toes, I'm awful sleepy, and them sheriff's are dicking around trying to get the backboard through the blackberry bushes and they say unless I have some kind of insurance, their going to send the Lifeflight back to Charles Schulz Airport. I can't reach my wallet, that's on my left back pocket, by my left shoulder is all bent up behind me. It's hard to concentrate to text with all the flashlights, and them shouting. How did these cats know my Last name?. Ehhihhh, I heard something flighing near. I sleepy Hey, good video, wot? 🎉
I once got a call from a woman who said she had snakes coming out of her wall. At the time I was relocating and rescuing reptiles so I immediately decided I would have to take my husband to the call with me because she sounded like she was hallucinating. Maybe she was dangerously mentally ill? I didn’t know but it concerned me. When I got there, I was amazed to see a brick wall with baby green tree snakes coming out of the weep holes like tendrils of ivy emerging and swaying slightly. The mother or even mother/s had laid their eggs within the foundation of the wall and the babies had hatched and sought their way out by climbing up the inside and come out the very small aeration holes. I didn’t know this woman but this strange and unlikely event caused me to consider her hallucinatory. My ignorance, not hers!
I mean is it really ignorance after hearing such a ludicrous claim from someone? I doubt many would believe it fully unless they saw it for themselves. It just makes me shiver though, the idea of snakes coming out of your walls.
I owned a home remodeling business and sent my exterior crew who normally did roofing and siding to a kitchen remodel job. To keep things moving I had planned for that crew to demo the existing kitchen while my kitchen crew finished another job. I got a call from the homeowner that "snakes were everywhere and my guy won't stop shooting them". Of course I hauled over there and sure enough I found the leader of the crew very very upset that snakes fell on him and yes he shot a few of them. I learned his biggest fear we're snakes and somehow snakes were living in the "fascia" (sort of a fake rectangle box on the ceiling that acted as a divider to the dining room). Thankfully they were great customers who got a laugh and a great story to tell.
@@58Kymhe was very fortunate that everyone liked him. He knew that he was in the wrong. If the Customer had wanted him fired, I would have had no choice but to fire him. Thankfully it worked out. The other incident that comes to mind is when my other crew went to start a roofing job and knocked it out in one day. The customer got home as they were finishing and .... Wrong house..,. The homeowners were very nice and needed that roof but explained they couldn't afford it. What choices did I really have? They got a free roof and became lifelong customers.
I grew up in Kokomo, IN, and am well familiar with WWKI. I worked for the founder and owner of WWKI, James Gregg for a few years( 2003-2005). I believe he sold off the station to a larger conglomerate of radio stations sometime in the 80's, and started other businesses. When I worked for him he was running a video production company. Point is, he was meticulous about backing up and making copies of audio and video recordings. He had a room that was FILLED with recordings from his tenure owning WWKI, many on reel to reel, or these large clunky tapes. Most were of the call in shows to the radio station, and there had to be a few decades worth on the shelves. At the time I had no interest or reason to go digging through the archives of the recorded shows, but had I known about this case, I would have certainly tried to locate the recordings of Rick Rainbow interviewing McDaniel. Sadly, James Gregg passed away several years ago, and I am sure much of his "Archive Room" wound up in a dumpster.
Right after he does a video on the disneyland mickey the mouse cryptid. Most are just guys wearing a suit, but one of them is the real mickey the mouse.
@@johnnyfed9102 ehh.... The study of a phenomenon is often more enlightening about human behavior than anything else. Bob does a pretty good job at illustrating that in his essays, I think.
Best story teller (of the crypto sort) on YT. And Bobby G doesnt get nearly enough credit for his hand drawn slides - I fuckin love the signature art style, and how they always help tell the story beautifully.
This was a great surprise today. It's funny because I've only seen accounts of this briefly mentioned and I've never seen someone break it down so thoroughly. I even remember laughing because I read an article one time that basically said how a kangaroo horrified a small town or some such. This is a fantastic breakdown of the facts, and why this is one of my favorite channels
I like how the father didn’t freak out and hide with his children in the bathroom or something. Instead he grabbed a trusty revolver and went back through the front door and shot at the creature like a all American raised bad ass.
@@nifflofair6685 Exactly, but consider this: Is it wise to open the front door while an unknown, savage creature is trying to get into your house where your kids are hiding? He could have fired his gun from a more defensive position like a half-open window. Opening the door to face the creature was indeed very brave of him but I think it wasn't the most clever thing to do. Lets say there's a lion or a tiger at your door. Would you open the door to shoot it?
I wood open the door ,and if need be 20 rounds of 308 I will glad give the intruder at 3200 per second.you see ,I too am American, I would assess to see if the creature is FIRST a treat ,if not ,welcome to my planet ,tourist info on main Street, however you come to harm my family you will be met with some nasty human violence.we are capable of great compassion, but historicly a waring bunch! Wait till you see! See what ? ? What a man can do to another alien.lol.
I've been very fascinated by this story for a long time. I'm so glad you covered it. Creatures like the Enfield monster, chupacabra, Mothman and others that don't fit into our normal view of biology are some of the most interesting to me.
@@renegadezen7841 I didn't mean big foot as a monster to me he's something like a big ape what I meant by monster was the anomalous sightings such as moth man 6foot smoking frogs the dog man you don't hear of these things with such a frequent occurance as the u.s I'm not saying it only happens there just the frequency I cannot understand why
@@jasonsweet1868 but do you live in America? Because if so I bet you're heading more about American sightings purely due to location. I doubt you are scouring obscure local news stations of countries worldwide. For example, news of a monster sighting in Malaysia may not make it to your news feeds
@@renegadezen7841 I don't live in America and I have access to exactly the same news feeds as everyone else on here what I am talking about isn't possible rare animal sightings such as a dinosaur in African rivers a new primate found in America or the himalayas all countries probably have 1 monster myth America has hundreds if you understand what I'm attempting to say have you an opinion why this should be I would love to hear someone else's opinion
Lol, I just got finished watching 'The Enfield Haunting', about the the Enfield Polt- Is EVERY "Enfield" some weird nexus of spooky, other-worldly beings?!?
This channel, by far, is the very best that RU-vid has to offer. Bob, I am sure that you could recite a phone book and with the addition of creepy adjectives, keep the attention of your listeners. Never feel that your work is under appreciated. I would demand a heart attack to pause just so that I could watch one of your latest releases with immense anticipation. Cheers 🍻 to you Sir.
Bob Gymlan, anytime you make a video, and it pops up on my feed, I smile. Because I know right before I go to bed, I have a nice creepy video to watch.
Bob, I have been following you for years and you have never disappointed. From your candor to your production I'm always hooked from the moment you say, "Hi". As a 34 year old man who's been around high strangeness his whole life, Thank you.
@@BobGymlan I have wanted to make a channel for 10 years but I'm just not a creative and my voice, while deep, is annoying to me. So if I'm annoyed so would listeners. I have been haunted by ghosts that were hexxed upon me by a Wiccan witch, stalked by a bigfoot, saw a lake monster and have been followed by UFOs since I was a kid. I recently moved to work in Holloman Air Force base so I can investigate the UFO phenomenon that surrounds the White Sands Missle Range.
@@HansDester I hope that you start your own channel. I'd be very interested in hearing of your experiences. I've seen some very strange things during my life as well. Please don't let your voice hold you back. We all sound weird to ourselves when we hear our own voice on a recording. It'd be a shame if we all sounded the same, and very boring, as well. Variety is a good thing. Take care.
I've found that when my mind "fills in the blanks" that it's something known. I've misheard words on many occasions, my mind fills in the blanks, but with English words that I know. How could it be that your mind conjures something unknown, completely new and unique, so different than any other animal?
@@napatora Agree. And we will do this to a fault, even. It's even been told by people, like bigfoot witnesses for example, that even when they've had a clear view, with ample time to see details, and they KNOW that what they are looking at is something 'that isn't supposed to exist', that their minds will still try to somehow rationalize and go to something that you are taught is "real" and 'believable'. Like, people have said to the effect "I knew what I was looking at had to be the creature they call Sasquatch, or bigfoot", then they go on to say how their mind still kept trying to go back and somehow fit it into categories that are known, like that it still somehow was just a bear at an odd angle, or a deer or raccoon and the lighting was just bad... We are taught that there is so much mockery and stigma around the "unexplained" that even when we are by ourselves we fear admitting when we see the unusual, and feel like we are crazy or wrong or something of the sort.
The kangaroo theory is really good tbh until he mentioned he was stationed down under still quite an odd encounter and series of events I truly do question the second sighting of the creature but I often think about how many small homesteads over the years of human history have experienced something close to these encounters, humans reliance on there structures is a great strength and weakness
I agree. When he first mentioned the kangaroo theory I thought that sounded very reasonable. Kangaroos can have gray fur--although it is often a reddish-brown. Plus the tail can look like a third leg in the dark, its arms look short and their eyes can reflect light. (Although I don't think they would look pink but I am not sure.) So my first thought was that is was an escaped kangaroo. But, like you said, the witness had been to Australia and had seen kangaroos in the wild. So how could he mistake a kangaroo with the hideous creature he claimed he saw? That makes no sense. Plus he said he shot it at almost point blank range and the creature just turned and bounded away. Kangaroos are not bullet-proof! So who knows what that thing was?
I listen to these and always kinda wish my own experiences with the strange were less mundane, as in more likely to be something actual strange and not just a timid young boy hearing noises in the woods and thinking "bigfoot" before thinking "deer" or "squirrel." But at the same time, I'm glad I haven't experienced any cryptids because I like living.
My life has been a complete and total misery ever since Bigfoot stole my precious girlfriend in the middle of the night.😒 He even took all her clothes and the T.V.
The coolest thing I ever saw was a glowing green ball silently fly about 100 ft above my head it was low enough that I could cleary see it was a round shape, it was so fast that it wasncompletely gone in 1 seconds, I was lucky to catch it at the exact right moment
There are quite a few times I’ve thought that last sentence to myself. Not that I find Loren Coleman an abomination, it’s just that every now and then he raises questions he most likely set out to answer.
You may be the only YT channel that makes vids I actively wait for. Sometime ill send you an email about the high strangeness I have happen up here in Alaska's wilderness..
Im like: "There's no way he gonna investigate the case of the Enfield Monster, its too fictional,even for my standards" And then he drop this. At this point, I considered everything possible. Thank you for giving me hope about the unknow again Bob, I almost lose it with too much depressive cotidianity.
@@SkarsnikofdaCrookedMoon0013 Yeah the Pine Barrens are really dense. While I'm pretty sure the Devil doesn't exist simply because NJ is too densely populated for there to not be more sightings, I wouldn't put it at 100%. I was just driving through the Pines the other day and even though I was only 5-10 minutes outside of the nearest town it felt like the middle of nowhere. The thick Pine forest has that kind of effect, I guess.
Same here! I watched this two's content up and down already ^^ Especially at badtime i ned one of them talking to me to set the mood for the night! Lol Do you know a third channel in this manner? I can recommend to you one! It is called shrouded hand (red symbole) but his last couple uploads about seriel killers where a bit too sick for my taste tbh! Anyway i am sure you will like his his other uploads at least! Cheers
Bigfoot Case Files with Lynn and Buckeye Bigfoot with Nance who was just in Gatlinburg at the Bigfoot conference with David Paulides from Missing 411.... those are 3 great chanels
I mean you'd be surprised how often people are right about someone seeing something else. My girlfriend is a scaredy cat, so her imagination is pretty active, if she gets spooked she sees shit all the time. The likelihood that he saw some unidentified 3 legged creature that has never been seen by anybody else in history, is absolutely dwarved by the likelihood that he simply saw it wrong, or is straight up lying. Idgaf if some other random guys from his town that I don't know say he's honest, they can be lying too ffs. Who knows, maybe he's used to seeing a certain type of kangaroo and this one was different, maybe had some deformation or disease and lost it's hair, could look like a completely different creature to him, especially if the lighting isn't the best.
@@colecampbell1906 although I agree with you that this is the most reasonable explanation more often than not I also want to point out that the opposite is almost as likely. I think that it`s a natural reaction for people to disbelief stories of this sort even if they`ve witnessed it themselves. And when it comes from some person you never met the most sane conclusion would be that they are full of s**t. However when you actually think about it 99% of the time there is no reason anyone would do this. The most common line of reasoning is that someone made up a story in order to make some financial gain or become famous but it`s really kinda weird that this is such a usual concept since it almost never results in this apart from a handful of cases (can`t even think of such). By telling stories about paranormal/supernatural stuff you basically doom yourself to a lifelong of mockery and being outcast socially - you can not only loose your lifelong job but also risk to be shunned by your closest friends and even your family. Getting into legal trouble is also very likely. I just don`t see how anyone with more than average intelligence may think that this is a good idea. And in regards to misidentifying something - speaking from the position of someone who has witnessed stuff that is arguably equally unusual as the creature in this story - when you see s***t like that if it`s the "real" deal there wont be any room for doubt. Your brain instantly sets your body into panic mode so to say. It`s not exactly fight or flight mode but you just KNOW that you are seeing something that is not natural. I`m not claiming this particular story is legit tho but as I said I`m just pointing out that the possibility of stuff like this being true is actually more likely that we`d usually think.
Not as much as there are people who just believe this stuff at face value, despite the lack of corroborating evidence to support it. When such claims are asserted without evidence, there's nothing left to do but speculate.
My dad's side of the family spoke about something like this in the early 70s that would hang around their house and the woods around the house and nearby at night (Not enough time or space to talk about all of the details I was told). My grandparents wouldn't speak of it, mainly because I was young when this story was told to me. The weird thing is that we live in Western Indiana about 200 miles north of this. This story has me thinking a little now that I have learned about it. I liked the shoutout to Kokomo, 30 miles from where we all grew up on my dad's side!
Never seen this channel before, came here from the Japanese bear story, which you managed to present with added drama, no exaggeration or undue fictionalization. That story had a steady and subdued subtext of honor and heroism, and this one a steady and equally subdued dry humor. IOW, your storytellin' jib seems pretty dang well-cut to me, son. Also, the graphic elements are really well-done.
Awesome. :) I love the design your artist did for the monster. Very cool looking. Top notch narration as always man. I usually pop one of your videos on the phone and work when I do the night shift. Keeps the night pretty entertaining :)
When young I encountered an Emu escaped from a farm. 1. I had never seen an Emu before 2. I had no idea about the farm So my description of the encounter was laughed at out of hand. See, there are no Emu in Georgia swamps.. except there actually are.
@@PtrkHrnk I asked if Ostrich were in Georgia. Pops said no, I said.. Well nobody told the Ostrich. Big ugly brown thing. Pops said Ostrich are black and white. I was confused, until I saw a picture of a Juvenile Emu.
I can relate. As early one morning I saw one , from the neck up go past my bedroom window. I jumped out of bed for a better look and sure enough it was an Emu. I found out later that it was "gifted" to a local farmer and it had escaped. Only thing that initially flashed through my mind was "Am I actually awake!?" That was a lot tamer than my mother seeing sasquatch run past the kitchen window.
Can confirm. Grew up outside of Mount Vernon on an isolated farm. The Enfield ape like figure also occurred after The Boggy Creek film had been in the theaters. I was 9. Illinois is thick with squatchy beings.
While I didn’t grow up near Mt. Vernon, my father was from a tiny town nearby called Ina. He used to tell stories about “the Spring Garden Ape” and though he never claimed to see it, I felt the fear that he described that was rampant in the community.
@Leah Kirkpatrick Small world. My uncle Tommy Sweeten was pretty well known in Mt. Vernon. Ironically, half of us were Sweetins and the other half were Sweetens due to some confusion on the part of the local doctor when he wrote my dad’s birth certificate. My grandmother Leota Sweeten was the Postmaster in Ina for a while in the 70’s. My great grandparents were Taylors and also lived in Ina by the elementary school. My brother and I spent time there in the summertime in the late ‘60s through the late 70’s and during that time heard the stories about the Spring Garden Ape, another mysterious creature that was spotted in Sesser, etc. Simpler times…
I absolutely love and adore the way that you word, and tell your stories. You're one of the few gems that you can listen to on the internet. You sound like a professional orator, and write like you're a very well accomplished literature major from Princeton University (or somewhere smart- Lol.) Your stories are wild, but so well composed, broken down, and elaborate! You could write for any one.. on any topic I'm sure of it. How you received, or learned, or were just blessed to be able to write like that is beyond me dude!
I've been waiting for this video to cone out for a while, im from Illinois near endfeild and have known about this story for many years and I love when I see it gain attention!!
Would love for you to do an episode on The Polaroid Ghost Writer, it’s about a spirit that figured out a way to talk to the living through a camera, happened at a house in California,it’s an amazing story that has never been debunked , the home owners are on Facebook and you can talk w them if you need info
YES!!! This one has been such an anomaly in the paranormal community, nothing like it has been documented so extensively as far as this type of ghost writing.
I always get a kick out of these skeptics. A lot of encounters seem to happen with hunters with cryptids. A lot of these hunters know virtually every sound, track and animal that is in a certain area. These hunters are experts in the field that they enjoy doing. But for some reason, these hunters have no idea what a bear is. Something screams a weird scream or leaves an unrecognizable print yet somehow it is still a bear. It would be the same thing if I went to these skeptics places of work and told them that what they physically held in their hand was not a pencil, but a stapler. That they must have been confused and rattled to think that stapler was a pencil. Some of these skeptics seem to be nuts and have no common sense.
@@dc1397 that's not how that works. The burden of proof is on your hand, since you're the one trying to claim somethings existence. I could just as easily state that I say a white 100 foot elephant with purple dots, and claim you would need to prove it doesn't exist. That's not how the world works buddy. Maybe educate yourself? :)
@@totallynotacop9728 exactly...you have all the evidence you need but you refuse to listen or acknowledge. There is air all around you but you refuse to believe it. It is stunning and childish to say the least. What you're proposing is that thousands of hunters and people that have physically seen these thing are collectively making it up. Your delusional thoughts are truly astounding.
I've never heard of this one before but I'm glad to hear of lesser know creatures and sightings. I very much like that you gave it the same respect every other sighting should get regardless of how out there it might be considered.
Always a good day when you get greeted with "Hi, I'm Bob Gymlan". Another great video, this (cryptid) one was new to me so I found it particularly fascinating. Thank's for your hard work.
Another one of those instances where the “common” explanation is nearly as, if not more weird than the original report. That’s why I think in some of these cases there _must’ve_ been something strange going on, because even the alternative theories are ridiculous. Sometimes truly odd things happen. It’s a strange world, isn’t it?
If you’re still out there 58 year old Greg from Indiana I believe you. 🧨 “You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and Gymlan, we believe” 🎵🎶
What strikes me about this one is how unique and unusual the creature was. If someone wanted to make up a sighting for attention, they probably wouldn't have been so specific about how unlike anything anyone has ever reported was. They would have just had a typical bigfoot sighting, or a ghost, or a grey alien, etc if they were making it up, because there would be no reason to make the creature more complex if you were just lying about the whole thing. But this thing is so disturbingly weird and described so specifically, that it really feels like a real sighting just on that alone.
hmmmm yes and no... squint your eyes a little, turn ya head and you could mistake it for the ID monster from Forbidden Planet XD Not to debunk it at all, I like the case but just throwing that out there lol.
@@BobGymlan Careful Bob, don't let the Fat Acceptance activists hear you implying that only skinny people are sexy...because according to them, morbid obesity is hawt shite!
I’ve said this multiple time, I love to listen multiple times not only to make sure I get all the information it also for the the little diamond Bob throws in. And the whole “when it rains it pours” while talking about Rick Rainbow is perfect.
I would’ve said the same about seeing things that aren’t there until I experienced it. I shot at a big buck when I was 16. It was a standing neck shot at about 90 yards and I thought I hit him. As I walked through the old clear cut I saw my deer, antlers and all. Until I got within 6 feet of the deer it slowly morphed into a on oblong granite boulder that was kinda deer shaped. It must’ve been buck fever cause I hadn’t ever done any drugs in my life at the time. It was just bizarre, so I don’t discount it happening too others. Hasn’t ever happened since.
I personally think that Bobby here would be better suited to occupy one of those pedestals lol. You need to have logic to be a scientist, yes. But you also still have to have an open mind, and be willing to listen, learn, and admit when you are wrong. They could all learn some things from our resident brainiac Mr. Gymlan!!
Most high strangeness goes unreported, I suspect. Over the years, I've seen several flavors of weird, and I've never reported anything. I don't need hours and hours talking to cops who will use polite code words to say I'm nutty, or drunk, or both. And in the end, it's still not reproducible to scientific inquiry, so it's time better spent playing Mumbly Peg.
I totally agree. I know a man who experienced exactly what you have described when he saw a strange figure running across a road years ago (police interrogation and obvious contempt, becoming the butt of many jokes) and it put me off reporting my own sighting of a UFO.
Though you can always speak to a UFO group such as MUFON; or (depending on your experience) to a Bigfoot group; or to your local ghost hunting group; or, in the UK, to the Ghost Club...or what's that other one called?? Anyway. To paranormal societies! 🙂👍
@@oneoflokis What's the point? Most people that don't sleepwalk through life have noticed high strangeness on more than one occasion, so it isn't a warning they need. Practical advice maybe, but if they don't know the game is afoot by now, they never will. And I have zero need for some form of validation; I know the reality of my experiences, what I've seen and felt. I'm not frightened or in need of consolation or protection. And another story or two from some 70 yo geezer isn't going to tip the scales. Besides, I've watched this escalate from a few hysterical reports on the third page of some weekly paper to National Inquirer and then to serious research. This isn't going away. Because it's growing bolder every day, logic says the bubble will burst from the strain at any moment. Even at my age, I think I'll be around to see it happen, that's how close it feels and appears to actually be. These things aren't even trying to be stealthy any more. The dark and lonely road has become a Phoenix freeway. My main curiosity is to the how. Exactly what protocols govern such a thing as two civilizations meeting? Will we show up with armed soldiers like the old Japanese Godzilla movies? Will we appoint Cheech and Chong as Terrestrial Ambassadors, to soften our image a little bit? Would Bill Nye the Science Guy be able to understand them better, or maybe Max Tedmark? And if they are here for slaves and sex kittens, instead of conversation, Arnold has already left in the "Choppa", and Segorny Weaver can't even use an exoskeleton anymore, so what the hell could we do about it? Me, I'm buying shares in Orville Redenbocker and getting a better recliner. This may be a hell of a show. My only problem is which group to root for.
@@JohnSmith-ft2tw You say "why bother?" I say, "Why not?" It's through the experiences of experiencers who have been bold enough to relate them, to people who took them seriously enough to record them, that the fields of paranormal research, cryptozoology, and this channel among others, even exist!! You're obviously interested in such fields/channels: or you would not be here on the comments! 🙂 Don't be so lazy... As to "sleep-walking". I am both a believer in, and a long time student of the paranormal. Plus, I am a Neopagan.But I can honestly say, *I have never yet personally experienced anything of true high strangeness* , despite being a believer. But then: *I haven't spent much time wandering around the woods of America* ; nor any woods. 😏 I haven't spent time overnight at haunted houses, nor on ghost hunts at old castles. I used to belong to CUFORG, my local UFO research group in Cornwall, UK.. But financial problems and then health problems in the early 2000s put paid to my going out on skywatches. These days, I don't even have a car: I don't travel, and am strictly armchair. But one day, that may change... 🙂 Until then, I rely on the submissions of others to sustain me..🙂👍
@@oneoflokis I would be "aw shucks" humbled at my stingy ways, if I weren't a practicing curmudgeon. And yes, I'm a Fringer. That's someone who lives on the fringes of society without feeling impelled to swim in cesspool. As a 70 yo Native American, I doubt I'll change. But occasionally I surf and comment, because I'm temporarily home bound by a body that keeps reminding me that it's mortal. No, not Covid, hell, I haven't seen a neighbor or been anywhere since the 1st of July, so my social distancing is working. (Yes, I got both shots, I said I was a curmudgeon, not an idiot.) But strangeness loses too much in the retelling. How to explain a forest trail that has subtly changed from the last time, and now WANTS you come down into the valley? Or the the time a light as bright as a freight train shines down on your little cabin in the wee hours of the morning. And it's a wilderness where there are no vehicles allowed, or roads, plus this light is stabbing out from the middle of a 200 acre rock slide you can't even walk across? It's like sex, you had to be there.
What is invariably impressive about your presentations, Bob, is the depth of analysis of competing explanations for the sparse set of facts. You leave no stone unturned, and have a remarkable wit that surfaces when those stones are upturned. Apart from the 'creep factor', your tales (and drawings!!) are amusing and fascinating in the way that you present them and somehow you are ironic but deadly serious at the same time. In short, you are a genius.
Academia is polluted with individuals who are more concerned with stroking their ego than learning or teaching. In many instances, it seems like research is done not to decipher what actually occurred, but rather to validate what academics have already decided took place. Its a shame.
@@Sheild_against_the_wicked556 and the amount of these people who are deemed "intelligent" and "capable" in this way are so grossly lacking in practical intelligence and basic logic, that it's not even funny.
@@Fox-86 tell me about it. Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, all of these universities are nothing more than overpriced brainwashing machines. I'm so sick of liberal hive minds.
Yes!!! Yes! Yes! I love the Sunday’s when Bob uploads. I’d never even considered the Enfield Monster might be a cryptid…I was happy to Mulder this one and say Aliens did it. Also ‘if someone asks if you saw a monster you say yes’. This just reminded me of ghostbusters. Doh Ray…Egon?
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 I mean maybe but I tend to think of cryptids as undiscovered/unverified earthly creature and aliens as a separate thing altogether.
I like to keep an open mind, but damn, the abandoned kangaroo option still feels kinda plausible (especially keeping in mind the supposed bigfoot/emu sighting from the other video). I can imagine myself opening the door expecting some dogs, and get a bit surprised, maybe the outside of the house is not that well lit, the "kangaroo" is abandoned, with maybe nasty hair, maybe some hair-loss from stress (like you see with some parrots in captivity). The kids description of it, kinda scratching on the door and messing with AC feel convincing with something a kangaroo might do. I can imagine it approaching in a couple of little hops forward once you open the door, and I feel like it could take a shot to the chest and just have a "wtf" reaction and flee. I can't know what the witness saw, but I feel like if I had experience with a certain animal, and I saw it completely unexpectedly somewhere under odd circumstances, I feel like I could not recognise it fully or immediately. Normally I would have the exact same reaction about the kangaroo explanation as you Bob, but that Emu video really opened my mind.
He seemed . . . Weirdly aggressive about the 'roo, constantly claiming that kangaroo isn't dangerous are threatening. Which is just not an accurate statement. Kangaroos are big and and dangerous creatures.
@@usuasensei I think he was implying that people generally don't hear about kangaroos being aggressive. Usually they are portrayed as these cute cuddly creatures hopping around with a baby in their pouch. If you do some digging though, you know those things can be savages! I still don't see one messing with an AC unit though. Plus, they have very long muzzles and big ears on to p of their heads, which is not part of what the witness described in his description. So idk.
@@growingwild8411 Ya people don't realize how messed up that can make an animal look. Either way, I think that no matter what happened, the skeptics do tend to go a bit too hard on people, especially people who do seem like something genuinely did happen to them and they aren't hoaxing or clout-chasing. I have had several strange experiences, but don't often share them online to this point because the skeptics go so hard on you, and gaslight you and make it sound like even though they weren't there, they KNOW what I experienced and I don't, and they make you feel stupid and beneath them.
Careful. If you don’t drink the Kool aid here, you’ll get lampooned in the comments. I like Bob, but he doesn’t research the “SkEpTiCs ClAiM,” making him look pretty ignorant. He claims to be open minded but refuses to look into any grounded explanations- ever.
Hello Bob, I just discovered your channel today and I must say I love your videos! I've always had a fascination with cryptids and the unknown so your channel is perfect for me. You've got a new subscriber. Please keep them coming 😊
All these videos are just fantastic. Not just the story but the artwork keeps me intrigued to want to finish and be captivated during the whole video. Thanx for all the hard work.
Those damned skeptics with their evidence-based logic, their psychological tested phenomena and their rational explanations. Damn them! Better act on blind faith and sheer belief than on reason and antecedent.
Bob, I believe I found footage of this thing, everything and I mean just about everything lines up except there was no mention of smell in this story. At first I thought maybe I was looking at the Denver demon because this footage is from denver, but no matter how much I wanted it to be the Denver demon I couldn’t get over the fact that this thing appeared to either have a tale or some kind of grass hopper back legs, but I kept looking for the other back leg and it never showed up in the footage so I assumed it was a tail. Then I found your amazing channel and boom I almost fell out of my chair. The girl I spoke with said the thing was constantly scratching at her door, so she grabbed her night vision camera. She was ballsy enough to check outside for it and to everyone’s surprise it was gone in an instant. This lines up with this account of the creatures ability to jump and cover huge distances. Judging from the creature standing by the door she estimated it was roughly 4 ft. Only major differences I see when compared to Denver demon is that this thing has no visible mouth with sharp teeth or eyes the size of flashlights. If you see this message please contact me I want to send u the footage. Btw I’m also an artist/animator which is partially how I’ve become fascinated with cryptids and your channel.
This is not my footage btw its not my footage, but I am in contact with her probing, asking questions. when I say this its not to insult her but she really didn't know what she was looking at so the video gained some traction but no one really with this level of information or interest caught the subtleties which I feel ads to the credibility. if someone wanted to fake a Denver demon, rake, or monster at enfield they had absolutely no idea these stories even existed
I might not believe all these incidents actually happened but the narration is great and the art is amazing and you put out reasonable Arguments for it
As an Aussie who grew up in the outback of Australia, having dealt with Kangaroos 🦘 on a daily basis including as pets, no kangaroo A) look like this description B) has glowing red eyes and C) don’t try to dislodge window mounted airconditioning…… Skeptics are just laughable
do kangaroos in australia ever get mange? im not trying to be dismissive, im trying to ascertain if its something that someone with knowledge of kangaroos would be familiar enough to identify. idek if mange is a thing in australia, or whether it happens with the same severity it does in the US.
@@onandonitgoes5957 mange is a thing in Australia but I have never seen a kangaroo with it….. I asked my 77 year old mother if she’s see a kangaroo with the mange and she hasn’t either…… But I’ve seen it in dingoes, foxes, dogs, ect, ect
@@ant30166 how bad have you seen mange in Australia? The US's strain might be more virulent. Animals can lose flaps of skin, all hair, all external ears, lips, and be covered in scabs that can be slimy and appear as scales, and skin appears blue grey. It can make animals looks quite unrecognizable, especially as it generally causes dehydration and such pain the animal can't hunt or chew
@@onandonitgoes5957 we had a manager on our ranch who had about six dogs with the mange…… They looked like monsters…… Didn’t even look like Kelpie dogs…… Had blue/grey skin that was wrinkled and covered in giant scabs….. some had lost ears, eyes, skin, tips of their tails, etc, etc….. As a kid I was terrific of them as they looked like monsters
@@ant30166 o....yeah sounds exactly the same! Thank you, it's nice to get the info from another person directly! So yeah... I have no idea if roos, let alone giant red roos, can get mange... I'll have to look it up, ty!
