“…Tell me, has anything odd happened to you recently?
What do you mean, odd?'
Unusual. Deviating from the customary. Something outside the usual parameters of normalcy. An occurrence of unprecedented weird.” - Jasper Fforde, Lost in a Good Book, Goodreads

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.
The Guardian shadowed treasure hunter, Sacha Johnston.
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?
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
My own present opinion, based on two years of careful study, is that UFOs are probably extraterrestrial devices engaged in something that might very tentatively be termed ‘surveillance’.” -

Trigger? Code? Angel Number? Costa Rica CE-2 UFO encounter resets numbers to 333. Inexplicata. More info: Check out the video posted by the experiencer. Note synchronicity. Orbs are similar to those in my recent Sedona photo.

Mysterious Universe - Ghost Ice Cream Floats/$1 are the newly featured menu item at a San Antonio café after owners discovered resident ghosts were the culprit for overnight hi-jinx. Briefly shut down while a paranormal investigation determined the source, here is the video that prompted owners to reach out for a paranormal assist.
According to the café owner (as noted at MySA.com) the spirit sounded "kind of like a walkie talkie until someone talks into it."
Noted in that piece is Swedish filmmaker and EVP pioneer Friedrich Jurgenson, who first captured unexplained voices while taping bird songs. His research spanned more than two decades. Available to read (at no cost) from Paranormal Study, his book is translated to English: Voice Transmissions with the Deceased.pdf.
Shifting gears from audio to video. I have interviewed and know of others who are good at capturing orbs and/or light anomalies, this is a fascinating case is one of the best documented and, in that regard, easily worthy of more exposure.
Image credit: Terry Albright. Light anomaly.
Using an ordinary 8 mm movie camera, Dorothy Izatt filmed hundreds of sequences of unexplained, yet authenticated, pictures of UFO's, ETs, and anomalies.
Wanting to reboot that project and several others, Terry shares similar images he has taken.
Terry says the book could be improved with color images and a refresh given the volumes of unpublished material not included in the book.
So I might need to explore this project more and see what would be required to move the reboot forward. Ideas? Contact/Follow: Terry on Twitter
Is there any significance to the colors of Orbs? Maybe. Some suggestions. ParanormalLovetoKnow
Amazon Book Review -
1/Could have been much more detailed - but a fair treatment of this rarely discussed and highly important UFO case. The movie should be watched prior to reading the book. I'm convinced that you, reader, would perhaps throw the baby out with the bath water if you read the book first.
Amazon Film Reviews -
1/Magnificent and brave to share with everyone. I have my own reasons for believing her. What is important is that we work together. This is our planet and we need to care for it and one another. We are all beings of Light and at some point I feel that each person will awaken to that.
2/This absolutely jives with our personal experiences. Prf. Hynek was right when he advised her.....proceed with caution, interdimesional contacts occur with ALARMING frequency. But, remember Master Yoda, it's "only what you take with you."
"We all know UFOs are real. All we need to ask is where are they from." - Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, Taped interview - Paradigm Research Group
Sedona Vacation - Reality is better than fiction.
1/Tried to book UFO tour as prep for an interview on Wendy's Coffeehouse. Fail. The only date available was the night of the day we were leaving.
2/Tried to schedule visit with a Channel who recently relocated to Sedona to open a new book store. Again, the timing was off. Fortunately, they were extracurricular options and not deal breakers.
My real goal was a reconnect at Boynton Canyon. This is the 20 year anniversary of my connection with the Nightlight Energy and that was the incentive. (All part of that intuitive thing.)
Deadline: Intuition said the trip needed to be concluded by July 1. So there were other factors. We stayed across the lot from the casita I lived in for a few brief months.
Highlights: Owls.
On the day we left for the trip an owl was outside the house, perched in the tree above the driveway.
Checking into our condo - a happy synchronicity - an Owl motif. From the doormat, 'Who's there?', to wall hangings, cookie jar, salt and pepper shakers and figurines, including a small, white owl figurine hanging above the kitchen window.
The nightlight (from home)? Plugged in and interactive from the moment we checked in.
Lizard cameo, Boynton Canyon Trail.
Andy heard the Owls at night but the most interesting sound for me rose me from a deep sleep one night at 2 am.
Groggy and wondering how the dog got out. Thinking that dog must be causing other dogs to bark as the noise continued and finally registered.
It was actually a very loud (and close by) pack of coyotes. I opened the door to see them, heard a final yip and then complete silence. Gone...
On the hike at Bonyton Canyon, I stood under a tree for a pic and then realized there was a lizard on the rock beside me. I have had some incredible moments with animals on previous stays in Sedona, including a lizard at the Airport Vortex. This lizard graciously obliged us with a photo op. Unlike me, the lizard is perfectly color synced to the environment.
Reviewing pictures from the trip, I noticed some anomalies in a picture from the Dry Creek Road Trail parking lot. I took that picture to capture the view of the clouds and the beautiful red rocks to remember my meditation in the space. Only when I reviewed the images did I notice the five orbs/dots.
I googled for similar scenes and discovered a few videos related to the paranormal/UFO activities at the Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona. This video highlights cloud anomalies. Orbs. Look close and the dots appear and disappear.
This video/YouTube/UFO Turkey is an example of moving orbs. My image was a single photo. I have no idea if the orbs were stationary or mobile.
Given the very brief appearance on the featured film, Wilbur Allen says the orbs/dots would not have registered to the naked eye. I don't believe the dots in my image were visible either.
[Listened to KAZM - spent a few months as a News Reporter there in 1998. Time flies.]
I have not yet reviewed my 360 cam images. But the owl is back and she let me take a better picture.
Owl in the morning. She stayed perched as the rabbit I spooked scurried to a new hiding spot beside the tree … directly underneath her.
She is an incredible beauty. Sometimes I hear her outside the window at night. As always, the nightlight blinks.
It's going to be a busy summer.
Looking forward to my next interview: Avrel Seale, Monster Hike: A 100-Mile Inquiry Into the Sasquatch Mystery. Avrel's Blog.
Amazon Review: By an Austin reader on May 30, 2018
You don't have to be a Bigfoot believer to enjoy this, but if you are--or you are open-minded on this subject--this is the book for you!
Avrel Seale shares 100 miles of humor, insights on the natural world, and observations on the human condition. I found myself laughing aloud and reading passages to my wife from the safety of our comfy bed. However, his story didn't inspire me to want to go roaming around the Big Thicket in the dark. I don't know if Sasquatch exists, but Avrel Seale's sense of humor is alive and well!
