Board Camp Crystal Mine - Unexplained and open for business, a paranormal gateway

"Until you know Bigfoot in all his characteristics, including his relationship to such craft (UFOs), you don't know him well enough to find him." - Ida Kannenberg, My Brother is a Hairy Man, An Extraterrestrial View on Bigfoot and Human Genesis

Mena, Arkansas - This was the 

surprise part of the trip. Sasquatch. 

Sometimes you are just drawn to a certain place. Such is the case for me with Board Camp Crystal Mine.

After our interview in March, I really wanted to check the site out first-hand. Curious about the crystals and very interested in the paranormal light activity. After all, my nightlights are a paranormal anomaly.

What we didn't expect was a crash course in Sasquatch.

Turns out, Mena, Arkansas is also known as a Sasquatch/Bigfoot hotspot and home to at least one unsolved Sasquatch related mystery: Sasquatch Chronicles

And various sighting reports. Example: Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization



Cheryl and Orville graciously gave us a tour of the property and we sat out late at night observing the event sight. (Details on that in the interview.) Dark skies were perfect for viewing the first night. As it happened, we also synced with meteor showers but it was a quiet night for the event site.

The odd shadow made us curious. 

However, I did get an initial sense of something different about the space when Andy and I both thought we must have 'misremembered' the arrangement of items in our room.

Comparing notes - we pegged the same object as being in a different location than previously seen. That was the first night.

With camera in tow, we explored the area during the day.

I took pictures of the patterns in the road and then added one of the landscape to bookmark the spot and later noticed an interesting shadow in the background. Returning to the space to investigate the shadow, we realized it was actually a moss covered tree stump, alongside an overgrowth area filled with classic Sasquatch markings.

The log in the tree is impressive. Also a bit intimidating. 

We didn't notice any of that until we
returned to try and identify
the shadow.

Even more curious is the log in a tree
that appeared, seemingly overnight
and prior to our arrival.

(Estimates on this part.) The log is more than 12 feet above the ground supported by two branches. 12 feet in length with a diameter of 1 and a half feet.

Look at the picnic table beside the tree for perspective.

It would have taken a crane to manage the weight and height. And that definitely would have damaged some of the branches. None were.

And there were no footprints or markings at the base of the tree.  



Board Camp Crystal Mine is featured on Expedition Unknown: Hunt for Extraterrestrials Episode 4.

From Yelp - Cheryl writes: In 2008, we found the crystals by "accident" on our property, and in 2012 opened a public rock hounding site.

Telepathic prompt - I was told to look down for a gift
 on the ground. Reluctant to take anything at that 

point, I finally did look down and, at that spot,
found this crystal covered rock. Andy is holding it.
It had friends beside the tree. We only kept the one. 

The others had a different purpose. 

Since then, it's becoming more than that...
it is growing into a spiritual place, a healing center, a sanctuary of love, peace, acceptance.

We are only the guardians, we will keep it all natural. That is the way nature intended and we will take the crystals that are offered to us for our use and delight! We believe because we have cared for the property, and kept it all natural, there is a message we've been given.

Why did all these strange things begin happening here? Is it crystal energy? Fringe Science? Supernatural? We do not know, but we decided to share with the world, because no one should own knowledge.

It's a gift of wonder from God that we can study, to benefit our lives here on our beautiful home, Planet Earth! We are one people so let us live in peace, be good to each other and the planet, enjoy what gifts are here! TY for reading and for your patronage!

So grateful for my incredible healing crystals
 from Board Camp Crystal Mine.
BEAMS - is the book about how Cheryl and Orville

 (and son Josh) get their introduction to a bonafide
and ongoing paranormal mystery. 

Categories once believed to be separate are not. Those willing to do a deep dive discover Paranormal, UFO and Sasquatch events have common elements.

It's more than I care to get into here, however, when you start to investigate patterns and history, it becomes apparent that reality at this level, challenges and defies our previously supposed definitions.

The good news is that there are lots of breadcrumbs to follow and a whole pie of curious where each serving is a call to action.


Other known locations with unexplained, anomalous, fortean activity:

- Ballard Utah, Skinwalker Ranch, Wiki
