“Paranormal Bigfoot” is due for release on DVD and Amazon Jan. 18 2019. In this film they look deeper into the Bigfoot Community at what some refer to as the “Woo Crowd”. Taking an open minded unbiased approach at the subject they were able to include many well known researchers in the field, published authors, Professors, and boots on the ground.

The cast includes, Bob Gimlin, Russell Acord, Ron Morehead, Stan Gordon, Tony Merkel, Christopher Noel, David Bakara, Arla Collete, Professor Darby Orcutt, and Avis Bailey. Be prepared to open you mind and think deeper into just what this elusive creature is.

Stan Gordon:  “The data I am continuing to see suggests that Bigfoot could be much stranger than just an unknown flesh and blood animal”.

 

UFO Sightings Reported Over Cambria County, PA

UFO Sightings Reported Over Cambria County, PA

 During September of 2018, a number of UFO sighting reports originated from Cambria County in Pennsylvania. Reports from observers were originating from locations between Johnstown and Ebensburg. Many of the reports were of unusual lights in the sky, and what was observed was not typical of navigational lighting on aircraft. A witness reported an object that hovered in place, than within seconds would quickly jet across the sky to another location.

Other people in the area reportedly observed a V shaped object with three separated  lights.  A photograph taken by a local resident is similar to what was reported.

On another occasion, during daylight hours, an object that looked like a metallic sphere was observed making unusual maneuvers in the sky. While under observation, the object seemed to suddenly vanish within seconds, as though to become invisible. At that point the witness could see the outline of the object and could see through it. While this was occurring, the object was zig-zagging to different locations in the sky at a very fast pace.

In mid- September, during the early morning another witness taking a walk near Colver, PA observed a white oval shaped object moving slowly across the sky and vanish into the clouds. The object wasn’t seen again.

On the evening of September 10, 2018, a man was riding down a rural road in Derry Township in Westmoreland County.  It was a rainy night when his headlights caught something about 75 feet ahead of him that seemed to “appear out of nowhere.” Whatever it was, it was in the middle of the road and moving from left to right.

The witness said when he first saw this being he first thought it was fog. He soon realized there was no    fog in the surrounding area. The witness said it was hard to describe what he saw, and that it was a humanoid form that was foggy or misty in appearance. The man stated that it was a “foggy white form” that was about 6 ½ to 7 feet tall. The creature seemed to be somewhat stooped as it moved. The physical traits that stood out to the witness were the huge muscular shoulders and a small waist.  There was a head but he couldn’t see it clearly.

The arms and legs were also not clearly discernable. The witness observed the creature from its left side  for several seconds. The creature crossed the road and entered into a field where it seemed to just vanish. The man could not see its feet and stated that it moved “almost like it floated.”  The witness didn’t notice any smell or sounds during the observation.

The incident took place only a short distance from the Chestnut Ridge where there has been a long history of UFOs, Bigfoot, and other cryptid encounters.

During the afternoon of May 14, 2018 at a rural location in Greene County, Pennsylvania, a woman was closing a bedroom window as a storm was approaching. When she looked out the window, she noticed that about 150 feet away, a strange object was hovering above the neighbor’s house. The object was described as a dark hat-like saucer shaped object about 20-25 feet in length and approximately 8-10 feet high. As the witness watched, the object banked then moved off through the sky toward the southeast and was lost from sight.

It was two days later not that far away at a location between Greene and Washington County that another strange incident occurred. That afternoon, the driver of a car noticed a truck pulled over to the side of the road. There was a person inside the truck as well as a person standing outside of it. They were both pointing toward a hillside. The driver of the car slowed down to look and saw what appeared to be an upright creature, about 6 ½ to 7 feet tall covered with black or brown hair. The creature was  walking on two legs and had stepped out of the tree line. The witness was startled, and realized that this thing had no muzzle like a bear. The creature took 4 or 5 steps then went back into the woods and was gone. The witness believed that what was seen was likely a Bigfoot.

On the evening of July 14, 2018 a driver was passing through a business area in a suburb of Pittsburgh when he noticed something unusual. His attention was drawn to a luminous orange object hovering about 100 feet over the area. The witness said that it was difficult to describe the shape but it was similar to a lantern but not round like a sphere. The silent object suddenly began to move off from a hovering position and began to exit the area through the sky at the same altitude it had been hovering. The object moved toward the north and was lost in the distance. The driver pointed the object out to a pedestrian who was walking nearby while it was over the area.

It was within the hour, and only miles away from where the UFO had been reported, that a family having a picnic had a close encounter with a Bigfoot. You can read the account here.

I have been researching Bigfoot and other phenomena since 1959, and began to conduct in the field investigations in 1965. It was during the major Bigfoot and UFO outbreak that occurred in Pennsylvania  in 1973, that some very strange details began to surface concerning these mysterious creatures.

My research teams were responding to these incidents as they were being reported, and we were on the scene of many of these incidents within minutes to hours after they had occurred. We interviewed many frightened witnesses, observed unusual animal reactions that were common with dogs that were close to a Bigfoot, and observed various types of physical evidence at some locations.

Some of the initial occurrences that caught our attention were cases where trails of odd footprints with large strides would be observed over a distance in various ground conditions, then just suddenly stop and vanish. Over the years ,this has also been seen in fresh heavy snow. There were no other tracks around and no evidence of a hoax.

There is a comment I recall from one witness from the 1973 Bigfoot wave. The man was a non-believer in Bigfoot until he had one standing only feet away from his mobile home. The witness was terrified when he called the state police to report the close encounter with the creature. The fellow had cut his lawn that evening and the creature left its 14 inch long tracks in the fresh cut grass, and on his patio where it was observed. In one area the tracks ended abruptly. The witness after seeing that the tracks had just stopped, asked me if these creatures could fly, since what he saw was so unusual.

Bigfoot may not be able to fly, but many reports from people from widespread areas of the state as well as from across the country and elsewhere indicate that there may be more to Bigfoot than just an unknown flesh and blood animal specimen. In my book, “Silent Invasion: The Pennsylvania UFO-Bigfoot Casebook,” I go into detail of many of the very strange cases of the early 1970s that suggests this possibility. Years ago I began to question the lack of a body being found after so many years of observations.

I receive reports of Bigfoot sightings, cryptids, and UFOs on a yearly basis from Pennsylvania and elsewhere.  Some very strange details continue to be reported with some of these creature encounters. My illustrated lecture, “Strange Aspects of the Elusive Bigfoot”, delves deeply into information that suggests that at least some Bigfoot creatures appear to be something other than a mysterious unclassified animal.

Recently, I received a video of a series of large footprints in fresh snow that was taken in January of 2018, in North Huntingdon Township, Pennsylvania. It had snowed during the early morning hours and the family noticed them when they looked outside. I interviewed the wife and husband whose property this had taken place at. They recalled seeing a series of footprints about 16 inches long with a stride of about 4-5 feet between each track.

The family was startled because the tracks seemed to just suddenly appear in the yard with no entrance point, then continued on about 70 feet across the yard. The tracks continued until they reached a play area for children and then suddenly just stopped and vanished. A witness in this case made a similar comment to the one made by the 1973 witness that I had referred to earlier. “Like something was walking then flew away or something like that.”  The general area where these tracks were found has a long history of Bigfoot encounters.

Since the late 1960s, I have interviewed hundreds of people from across the state of Pennsylvania  and from all walks of life who have encountered what they believe was a Bigfoot. These sightings continue to be recorded yearly with a number of encounters reported in 2018.

There have been ongoing reports of UFO sightings originating from various locations across Pennsylvania, with many of the sightings taking place in the southwestern region.  Some of these reports can be explained as bright planets and stars as well as sky lanterns, however some of the reports are more interesting. Here is an example of some of the sightings accounts.

May 14, 2018-During the afternoon in a rural location of Greene County, a witness looking out a window saw an object hovering over a neighbor’s home 150 feet away. The dark hat-like saucer shaped object was about 20-25 feet long, and 8-10 feet high. The object banked and moved out of sight towards the southeast.

07-14-18-A report was received of an unusual luminous object hovering about a hundred feet over a business neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The glowing object hovered for a period of time then moved off across the sky.

08-29-18-During the evening, 3 round red lights that were non-blinking and formed a rounded triangular shape, hovered for about 20 seconds over the Monongahela River and suddenly just vanished. It was seconds later that a white strobing light shot across sky diagonally toward where the first object was seen and then it moved off. This occurred around the Mon Valley area.

09-04-18-It was not far from New Alexandria, and around 10 AM, when a witness noticed a completely round bright light that was motionless about 10 feet within the nearby tree line. The witness began to walk closer to it when it began to dim. Within about 15 seconds the light had faded out completely and vanished.

09-04-18-Reports of strange lights and objects in the sky began to be reported on this date and have continued to be observed since then from the Cambria County area. 

There have been other reports of spheres in the sky, and triangular objects.

If you have seen anything unusual in Pennsylvania, please contact me via email: paufo@comcast.net or call 724-838-7768.

Multiple Family Members Describe Close Range Bigfoot Encounter Near Pittsburgh, Pa.

Multiple Family Members Describe Close Range Bigfoot Encounter Near Pittsburgh, Pa.

Date of Incident: July 14, 2018

From Researcher: Stan Gordon

This sketch by David Dragosin was based on the eyewitness account of the witness.

This sketch by Dave Dragosin   was based on the interview with the eyewitness.

A member of a family contacted me concerning an incident that had taken place on July 14, 2018, at a family picnic in a rural location outside of Pittsburgh. The person that I initially interviewed by phone sounded very sincere, and provided a detailed account of a strange encounter that various relatives experienced who attended the event that day.  During the extended conversation, I was also able to interview some other family members who told me about what had occurred. They sounded shaken as they described the encounter that had taken place.

One witness I talked with saw a creature at close range that was similar to other Bigfoot reports that I was aware of from around the Pittsburgh area. I was able to obtain a lot of information from those involved concerning the unusual experiences that had occurred.

The family members, who didn’t want to be identified, were perplexed over what had taken place and were looking for answers to what had occurred. I contacted two experienced Bigfoot Investigators, Dave and Cindy Dragosin who lived in the Pittsburgh area as well. The Dragosin’s while independent investigators, also collaborate with other Bigfoot research groups such as the Keystone Bigfoot Project, Pennsylvania Cryptozoological Society, and Goosebumps Paranormal. Dave has become well known as a Bigfoot eyewitness forensic artist, where he sketches the creatures described by witnesses whom he has interviewed.

Dave and Cindy arranged to meet with family members during daylight at the location where the encounter had taken place. The witnesses were reluctant to return to that location after dark. The investigators interviewed those involved, took pictures and gathered other information, and Dave sketched the creature based on the testimony of an eyewitness.

The following details were obtained from the investigation report by Dave and Cindy Dragosin. Some information was edited to protect the confidentiality of those involved.

On Sunday, July 14, 2018, nine family members along with their large dog began their day-long family picnic during the late afternoon. They were planning to dance, play music, and cook a lot of food and meat on the grill to celebrate a birthday.  The children were running around in the woods gathering dead tree limbs to be used for fuel in the campfire for later that evening.  There was no electricity in the area, and they had to use the water source available nearby.

The tantalizing aroma of the food and meat cooking filled the surrounding wooded area. Shortly after 11p.m., many of the personal belongings and picnic items began to be placed in the family cars, but the campfire remained lit and the karaoke machine kept on playing, with the family dancing and singing around the campfire.

At approximately 11: 30 that evening, the family dog became agitated by something moving rather stealthily in the woods just to the east of a nearby structure.  This very large dog began to growl and bark in a rather agitated manner. Whatever was moving from east to south in the perimeter surrounding the structure began to growl back at the canine.

This commotion caused a male adult, who was standing approximately 15 to 20 yards away, to draw his attention toward the location where the water was located, and the wooded area south of the structure.  As the growling continued, growing louder with more intensity, the man noticed a form emerging from the shadows of the trees into the light of the campfire and before his eyes he observed a very, very big, hairy humanoid like creature. The witness was mesmerized for a brief moment as the creature stood with legs apart and its long arms outstretched exuding intimidation. The man estimated that the creature stood around 8 feet tall. The creature appeared to be very muscular and massive with broad shoulders and covered with long dark hair.

The witness stated that he could hear the creature breathing profoundly and heavily, as he watched its huge chest moving in and out. The man was immediately struck with fear because not only of the creature’s size, but said this huge hominid like creature had glowing red eyes. The witness for about 10-15 seconds was able to see the full frontal appearance of the creature, but it was too dark to see any facial characteristics or other specific details.

The man also recalled there was a brief moment where the creature was swaying back and forth, from left to right for only a couple of times. Then in an instant, the creature turned to its right and ran extremely fast toward the same direction from which it came into the northeast woods. Another young boy said that he also saw the creature run back into the woods.

In the meantime, the dog, tethered nearby, continued to bark furiously in what members of the family say was a rather agitated and defensive manner. Two women ran to their cars parked near the structure, turned on the ignition and adjusted the cars so that the car’s headlights faced into the woods in anticipation of seeing what was fleeing from their picnic area.

All of the frightened family members said they could feel the ground beneath them resound from the size and weight of the creature, as it fled the vicinity through dark dense wooded area. None of the other family members stated they actually saw a full frontal version of the creature, only a brief silhouette of its movement through the woods.

Following the experience on July 14th, the children were rounded up, placed in their respective vehicles, all belongings were gathered and the campfire was extinguished in order to vacate the picnic site as quickly as possible.

During a one-on-one, face to face interview session that was set up with the family, it was noted that all family members were quite sincere in their reiteration of the event.  It was determined that what they saw was a true to life changing encounter. Each and every one of the family adult members were anxious to interpret what they were able to hear, and that was the vocalizations between their pet dog and the creature growling, snarling and chortling at each other. The temperature that evening was very humid, in the mid-70s, and the skies were clear. Other than growls and snarls, there were no other external vocalizations or odors emitted from the creature.

It was also noted and agreed upon that just prior to the creature’s appearance, the aroma of cooked meat and various food lingered, along with the children and women shouting, laughing and playing gleefully around the campfire and songs were being sung in preparation of singing Happy Birthday and cutting the cake. Unfortunately, that part of the birthday celebration never happened that night.

When the investigators returned to the site at a later date and the exact location was pointed out to the investigators, the tree that the creature stood by was measured and the head of the creature was approximately at an 11 foot mark on the tree.

Stan’s  addendum:

Historically, there have been numerous reports of Bigfoot encounters originating from throughout the greater Pittsburgh area and surrounding counties. These incidents continue to be reported yearly from throughout the state. The creature may have been attracted to this location by the smell of the food cooking and the human activity that was taking place.

There have been numerous incidents reported where these large hair covered creatures have thrown large rocks and tree limbs in the direction of humans that were nearby. This has suggested to some researchers that they are marking their territory and want the trespassers to leave.  As in this case, the creatures have at times approached within close range of the observers but generally move off from the area once they are seen. This creature seemed curious of the human activities but did not approach any further into the picnic area to harm the individuals.
