Sensing Bigfoot and Afterlife impressions. In 'Calling Earth', the dead are seen and heard...

“All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.” - Walt Whitman, Goodreads


The most recent radio interview is in the Wendy's Coffeehouse podcast archives: Avrel Seale talks about his adventure searching for Sasquatch in Texas and, in writing the book, finally fessing up to being a believer.

  • Today's google "Bigfoot" search flagged a very recent local sighting (2018). A Boy Scout leader reported finding tracks near their Lake Jacomo campsite. KMBCTV.
  • Bigfoot Research Organization lists sightings. Share if you have one (past or present).
  • Lenexa, KS. 2013 sighting on a local bike trail. Read that report at BFRO.
  • Even more intriguing, 2012 sighting near Mayetta, KS. Driver reported hitting something she couldn't identify that damaged her bumper and discovered there were numerous other unusual and unreported encounters. BFRO.
  • And then there's the Joplin Globe report from 2012 that suggests Bigfoot sightings are not uncommon in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
We continue the Sasquatch/Bigfoot conversation on the next show, 7/15, with Cheryl and Orville Murphy, owners of the Board Camp Crystal Mine in Mena, Arkansas. I visited in April and saw first-hand evidence of Sasquatch presence. Fascinating.

  • Unexplained. Woman found unconscious on a beach near the place she was thought to have drowned more than one year ago. Dressed in the same clothes. Family had not believed her to be dead. Uncle dreamed she told him to look for her on the beach where she disappeared. Recurring dream. He finally decided to check it out. Oddity Central.    

Calling Earth - A documentary on ITC, Instrumental Transcommunication contact with the deceased through electronic devices. With permission from Dan Drasin, I appreciate the opportunity to share the full program here. Or please watch on Vimeo.

Contact with the deceased in this film is anything but subtle. Researchers provide clear and distinct audio communications, authenticated by those who knew them.

Calling Earth, Produced, Directed and Edited by Dan Drasin.

"FOREWORD • Because the conscious survival of physical death makes no sense in terms of our materialistic (essentially 19th-century) scientific paradigm, Western science is only now beginning to play catch-up in this arena. So please don't take this documentary as the final word. 

In another decade or two we may well look back on this type of research as primitive, but for now it's a start. Just try it on for size and see what you think, keeping in mind that a documentary film can only scratch the surface of any subject. We hope you enjoy it."

I appreciate the inclusion of the 'how to' segment (at 34:00) featured in this film. To really understand what ITC is and how it works and whether it is authentic, the best advice is to try it yourself. Instructions are given on how to do that, what equipment to use and what you might expect.

There is no outrageously expensive program to buy or complicated multi-course prerequisite, simply a desire to see what happens and the patience to experiment and see if there is a method or process that works for you.

*Included in the film is a segment about Robbert Van den Broeke. Nancy Talbott and I talked  about her Crop Circle research and she mentioned some of her experiences while visiting Robbert. Interview Link.

What do you mean, odd?'

  • Fact or fiction, the truth is out there. Forrest Fenn's $2M treasure still calls the hopeful. Unfortunately, that call isn't loud enough to disclose the location. According to Big Think, Fenn says at least one person has been within 100 feet of the treasure, out of the several thousands who have searched.

Monster Hike - Alone, Avrel Seale sets out on a quest to cover a one hundred mile trek through one of America's hottest bigfoot-sighting areas - Sam Houston National Forest in East Texas - in the hope of encountering Bigfoot.



What if some 'monsters' can choose to remain undiscovered? For instance, Sasquatch.

"Why, after thousands of encounters with humans, do they still go unacknowledged by science, government, and mainstream society? And what does all of this tell us about the dangers and the rewards of believing in something mysterious?" .… Monster Hike

My question: how can a non-existent fiction leave footprints?
Monster Hike on Amazon

Avrel Seale takes us along on his quest to encounter Bigfoot.
I am curious and have seen signs of Sasquatch myself that shift the issue from myth to reality. Referring here to Board Camp Crystal Mine. Link is to a previous blog post and interview.

After doing a thorough job of Sasquatch backstory research, meal prep and camp supply stashing, (Impressive!) Avrel hit the trail.

Two nights into the trip and I was settled in and comfy, reading his story from the safety of my laptop. Just that initial report made me more than happy that Avrel was doing the leg work on this journey and I could understand if he had seriously considered punting the whole thing at that point.

The thought of camping now inspires more attention to the possibility of a hasty exit or SOS call for help. That ominous vibe didn't exist with 127 Hours.

FYI if you do plan to stake out a remote locale. Peace of mind: Find me Spot

Back to ominous. Check out the cover. He doesn't come up empty handed. 18 inch footprint beside a size 10 and a half shoe. Texas. Right.

Read the book? Here's a bonus from the blog. Avrel goes back out for another look. In that camp scene again, he notices a few more anomalies. What's with the abandoned tents? No mention of black panthers. Apparently, Texas has those too. Texas Cryptid Hunter

Consider some 'monsters' have no desire to be found and might even have the ability to erase or block knowledge of their presence and their source. Study their cameo appearances at places like
Skinwalker Ranch
