Welcome to Gaia! ::

i wanna know specifically if anyone has had any cases of UFO or suspected Extraterrestrial activity that they would be willing to share here. i am interested in ET phenomenon.

this is an Occult and Paranormal field that has me particularly interested.

i am also on the hunt for info on Extradimensionals and Cryptids. if anyone has any theories, experiences, stories, suspicions, sightings, witnesses, etcetera..... please bring them here.

i recall recently there was a man in, i think, Louisianna who had a sighting of a Skunk Ape. it was mentioned on the Oddball segment of Countdown w/ Keith Olbbermann. any follow-up on this BigFoot encounter would be a good example of what i'm looking for.

EDIT: it was North Carolina.

BigFoot Sighted

thankies dear, that came in real handy. whee i'd forgotten about that thread.

anywho, yeh, explaining them away is good, and if there are specific cases of sightings or whatnot that you have reasoned off, i'd love to know what, where, when and why. smile it often leads to still surprising and awesome discoveries, and even when it doesn't it is still good to know the truth.

i recall watching one episode of Monster Quest (not that great a show realy) where some kind of Chupacabra was sighted. turned out that all the evidence points to it being Cougars, in a place where there havn't been Cougars in almost 100 years! biggrin it's no Chupacrabra, but it's pretty freaking coolio! whee

hmm.... it is still interesting... could be Ghosts in the area.... meh, i might avoid it, but at the moment i'm feeling curious. i kinda wish i could go, just to check it out and come to a conclusion about what it is...

anywho, what's the deal on this "Goatman"?

the more skepticism the better. it balances out the enthusiasm for the hunt. if you catch wind of any other eyewitness accounts, don't hesitate to let me know. encourage people in your area to try to obtain evidence. smile

Actually, Destination Truth is a pretty awesome show. They usually come to some pretty sane conclusions and they debunk things several times. I can respect that show.

TAPS used to be really good at debunking ghost theories and they might have found 2 or 3 things that they couldn't explain in the first 2 seasons, but in more recent shows it seems every place they go to they "Find" conclusive evidence that the place is extremely haunted. I liked it better when they focused on debunking. I guess they needed ratings.

The other ghost/paranormal hunt shows are a bit too sensationalistic and fanatical for me. I appreciate when people go into a place with the mindset that they want to find a reasonable explanation for a current mystery, not just take for granted there is a "ghost" or "monster" there.

Talking about radio shows, I miss listening to "Coast to Coast"... I caught a little of it a few weeks ago and they were talking about ghosts, and I love the theories that people call in with. I remember when i first heard it years ago, and thought that since they let anyone call in, they would get allot of kooks, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the people that called were sane and intelligent to boot.

Anyway, my brother had a crazy experience the other night... He woke up because his bed was shaking like someone was bouncing on the end of it. He thought it was one of mom's dogs at first, but his door was closed. When he realized that, he bolted awake and sat up. He said he could see the silhouette of someone, but when he reached over to turn the light on, no one was there.

My husband and I have started having "experiences" again as well. When the house gets darker in the evening (I keep as few lights on as possible, I like only enough light as is needed), we see figures like people walking around the hallway, or always catching glimpses of people just going into a room when everyone who lives here is accounted for. My husband ran into someone the other night in our kitchen doorway when he got home from work, but no one else was awake. So far we haven't had any unusual poltergeist though.

hmm.. I never have watched destination truth, I didn't take the commercials seriously. I tend to be a harsh critic of shows like that though.

I do love the Discovery and History Channels more than Travel... but from time to time a good show about this stuff can come on almost anywhere. realy though, I've lost alot of time for watching TV. I get home from school and usualy just turn on MSNBC. if I'm ucky I can catch Hardball, or sometimes even the Ed Show. but usually, I miss those, so I skip Countdown and turn on Rachel Maddow Show at 9.

I'm a fan of UFO Hunters, but when that one cynical dude left, Bill got extra crazy, and they replace their cynic, but now even he's getting sucked in to the conspiracy-mongering. xp the UFO Files shows isn't that great.... and Monster Hunters varies.

meh, I guess I'm just trolling. xd I think being a harsh critic is important in all things though.

I don't have the Bio Channel. sweatdrop

I'll give Destination Truth a try, I'm sre I can find episodes online.
