Of Wings and Things: Psycho-Sexual Encounters and the Supernatural

Filed under: Cryptozoology, Folklore — Tags: , , , — Micah @ 4:21 pm September 1, 2010

Reports of winged beings have long been included in the more obscure reports of cryptozoological and ufological weirdness from around the world. Arguably, the most famous of all such incidents was detailed throughout John Keel’s investigations of the “Mothman,” which occurred in West Virginia in the late 1960s. Since that time, Mothman has become the predominant image in most people’s minds when it comes to envisioning a winged monstrosity of the cryptozoological variety. There are, however, other instances involving claims where such creatures have been witnessed, and though details about their existence are far more obscure, they bear a variety of similarities to folkloric traditions from various cultures around the world. Strangely, among these similarities are parallels having to do with the alleged creature’s interaction with their habitat and surroundings, as well as a prevalence of sexual aspects to their dealings with humans.

Crumbs of Cryptozoology: The Fortean Art of R. Crumb

Filed under: Cryptozoology — Tags: , , — Micah @ 10:45 am August 24, 2010

Back in 2004, one of my earliest articles to appear in a print publication was a piece I did for FATE Magazine called “Voices in the Dark: Do Sasquatches Have a Language?” The article examined reports of encounters with Bigfoot where people, on occasion, had described hearing odd verbalization, sometimes amounting to little more than chatter, but nonetheless which might be construed as some form of “language.” In particular, among the Chehalis natives that settled near Harrison Lake, British Columbia, there had been stories described for decades that involved wild people in the mountains that spoke a language similar to the Chehalis dialect, albeit a much older variant (they had a name for this, calling it “the Douglas Dialect”).

When FATE published the piece, I was thrilled not only to see they had run with the idea, but that they had hired an illustrator to depict a frightened Albert Ostman, surrounded by Sasquatches in a moonlit forest. The style was unmistakable, even without having to give credit, but with certain excitement I read the caption of each panel, which bore the legendary insignia “R. Crumb.”

Strange Things Afoot: Manlike Monsters with Beautiful Hair

Filed under: Cryptozoology, Folklore — Micah @ 11:35 am June 16, 2010

As time goes on, people’s perceptions begin to change. Things that once held a certain fascination begin to lose their luster, and one will eventually find that although there are many wonders of this Earth, not all that glitters is gold. Maybe it’s a natural process; just something that happens with age, and experience.

I preface this report with a healthy spattering of curmudgeonry because within the last 48 hours, mere miles from Headquarters here at the Gralien Report, something extraordinary allegedly occurred: a Shelby, NC man has claimed to have had an encounter with a six fingered, 10-foot-tall humanoid with “beautiful hair.” Local media has referred to the creature as a Bigfoot.

The basic story goes like this: Shelby resident Timothy Peeler made a 911 call pertaining to a June 5 encounter in which he claimed to have seen a Sasquatch, described as “upwards of 10 feet tall” and having a call similar to “a night bird.”

Some aspects of the story do differ between reports featured by various local media outlets. For instance, the creature’s “beautiful hair” was described by the Charlotte Observer as having yellowish-blond hair, whereas the Shelby Star’s report detailed how the creature “sported dark hair, Peeler said, with a grey beard stretching to its navel.” These descriptions seem to conflict somewhat, although both accounts mentioned the creature having long hair and a beard, as well as the rather peculiar characteristic of six-fingers on each hand. Police filed a report for a “suspicious person,” but were said to have kept an open mind regarding Peeler’s extraordinary claims.

Cryptoterrestrial Contactees: Redfern Reviews Tonnies’ Last Testament to Forteana

Filed under: Book Reviews, Cryptozoology, UFOs — Tags: , , , , — Micah @ 12:31 pm March 9, 2010

The much anticipated new book by the late Mac Tonnies has been released by Anomalist Books, titled The Cryptoterrestrials: A Meditation on Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us. This book deals with a number of bizarre concepts, but placed forthright by Tonnies, accompanied by his usual intellect and powers of reason, they are afforded what is possibly the best interpretation of aliens as indigenous beings from Earth to-date. Nick Redfern, who in addition to providing the foreword for Tonnies’ book offered this excellent review, had this to share:

Mac was a very good friend of mine; and like all his friends I was shocked to the core when he passed away suddenly and tragically in October 2009, at the age of only 34.

But, I am pleased to say, Mac’s latest – and, inevitably, final – piece of work ensures that his memory, legacy and ability to think outside of the conventional ufological box will live on. That work is The Cryptoterrestrials: A Meditation on Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us.
