I know we have at least one member who can tell a few. Let's hear 'em so I can convince a couple friends of mine that they are not to be trifled with.
If I have to hear one more wisecrack about magical indians changing into wolves and shooting skittles out their asses, I'm gonna snap. |

Read the book "The Hunt For The Skinwalker".
It will make you want to stear clear of Utah for the rest of your life. |
|
I'm part 5% Cherokee, 45% Irish, 50% German, and 100% Texan and I'm sick of the Mormons knocking on my door at 8 in the morning on Saturday. I already have enough reasons to stay clear of Utah. |

Could someone see about getting the tooth fairy to come by with some money?
|
|
there is a semi entertaining book called Thunderhead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child , about some skinwalkers that stalk some archaeologists
same people who wrote The Relic cool book so-so movie |

not really a story but some weird shit. the house i am in is on old indian land. we have several burial mounds in the woods around this area. The old man across the street told me not to hike the woods at night. He had seen something back there years ago and refuses to go into the woods at all now. I pretty much blew that off as BS. a couple of years ago we had some freinds over and were talking about it. Decided to load up and make a walk through the woods. As you round the curve to head into the woods the temp droped atleast 5 degrees on an otherwise warm night. we began to walk in the woods and a few meters in we heard something LARGE not far away. I figured it was a dog or a coyote but the fotsteps sounded heay. we decided after a bit to leave and heard the "dog" following us out. one of my guys spotted 2 orange eyes about 6' high in the tree line just up the trail. we al lit up the trail with surefires and nothing was there. as we began to walk we heard footsteps in that exact area we just lit up. what ever it was followed us all the way back to my house. I have a rtee line about 75meters from my back yard and we could here it moving down there. the line is only about 8' thick so ifigured i would walk down and see. Saw 2 orage eyes again about 30 feet from me as i approache the tree line. lit it up and found nothing. as i left the tree line i could here whatever it was leaving the area. not long after i took Scaryguy back there on a bigfoot hunt. He had a simialr experience that night. He won't go back there anymore either. i have no idea what it was but they were definantly eye refelections i and other saw. It's either VERY good at hiding in no cover or can vanish at will. |

Where in AL? I'll bring my 45/70 Guide Gun and we'll head back there. I've never seen anything "unexplained" but I really want to... |

This would explain my own sighting. I was out in the Mojave Desert, NE of Edwards AFB about 3 years ago. I was playing with a new night-vision toy. I saw a couple of lights, as you say, about 6' off the ground... looked like eyes... I could only see them when I turned on the IR feature of the NV optic. They were far enough away that they were just at the effective range of the NV optic. And nothing was there when I put a high-power light on the area! (10k handheld light, not just a flashlight.) I bugged out fast. |

|
well there were 3 of us packing ar's a fals that night. never saw anything to actually shoot other then the "glowing eyes"
i gotta say i am not one to freakout in the dark, but those 2 nights had the hair standing on the back of my neck. |
|
at first i thought it was likely spiders or bugs. they usually reflect moonlight in weird ways. this was different. Top that off with noise equal to a man sized critter and we were a bit freaked. |
|
|
so what is a territorial demon and whats the best way to grill one? |
|
|
This from the same people who believed a necklace could stop bullets! Hokie religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side... |
|
|
On a skillet of hell fire with a glass of holy water to wash it down.
|
|
Only when TheRedHorseman is in the dark. |
|
|
Did you EVER here about magical indians changing into wolves and shooting skittles out their asses ??? |
|
|
no but i saw the south park where the alien turned into a giant taco that crapped ice cream |
||
|
<shiver> |
||
|
Same thing. |
|||
|
Hey ....
Beer Slayer do you go out there anymore ? Does it just stay in the woods ??? That's some crazy shit ...... |
|
once and awhile. don't see or feel it everytime. never followed me closer than the treeline behind my house. |
|
|
Beerslayer, Where in Alabama was this? I've heard simular stuff from several folks around here that have been in the woods around St. Clair Co.
|
|
Probably just a Jahova's witness. |
||
|
I lived on the Navajo reservation for a while, a couple years ago.
There are lots of stories out there. I never saw anything though. They're also knows as (I have no idea how to spell it, but it's prounounced like) yen a ga losh eh. Who knows if it's true or not. |
|
warrior alabama. about 25 miles north of birmingham. we routinely find arrow heads in the fields and so far i have found 4 burial mounds within 2 miles of my house. |
|
|
Can you take some arrow head pics ??? |
||
|
With a lame story like that, expect something paranormal to happen to your ass soon. |
|
|
Yeah, so did I. Not anymore. It's some fucked up shit...The whole time, you feel like your being watched, then the temperature, even on a hot day in August, dropped 10 or 15 degrees like you flipped a switch, and whatever moves around SOUNDS like a man. It'll move as you move, but when you stop to get a bearing, silence. And you still feel someone/thing watching you. I mean every hair on my body was standing straight up. Just an overwhelming feeling that "it" does not want you there, or at least is letting you know you ain't alone. Fucking unnerving, to say the least. Then to top it off when you stop and scan, you see the fucking red/orange glowing eyes, not bugs, or swamp gas but fucking eyes, with NOTHING there when it's lit up like the surface of the sun with four or five SureFires. Whatever is in the wooded area behind TBS house can have it...I concede. I've had enough wierd experiences in my life to know better than to fuck with something I don't quiiiiiiiiiite understand.

public service announcement....
always rembere when hunting bigfoot you don't have to be fast. You just have to be faster than your hunting buddy |
|
What you amy have encountered ( if it was a dog like thing ) would be called "Black Shuk" it's a large, black ( USUALLY ) "spirit" dog with glowing eyes. They can be portents of doom or friendly ( if somewhat scary ) guides that will potect you on your journey. |
||
|
As he described what he saw, what good would any firearm do? Maybe if you had Chuck Norris I could understand...but a gun? |
|
|
F U C K that!!!!!!!!!! I will fall back and incinerate the enter woods |
||
|
Cause I'll be damned if I get ass raped by a bigfoot just because I neglected to take a gun with me. Better to have and not need than to need and not have. |
||
|
I need to see that land first hand. |
|
|
Bigfoot doesn't have glowing eyes then completley disappear the second it gets lit up. You would be better off with a preist and holy water. |
|||
|
My Hopi buddy is gonna DIE laughing over that one. I really have to get him in on these threads. |
|
|
the gun ain't for bigfoot. it's for me just before he sticks it in my ass.
|
|
I wouldn't do that... I have to follow you to get my ass back out of the woods. Let's take Desertmoon... I'll use him as Bigfoot bait. |
|

Actually, sometimes Bigfoot ( or other "wild men" ) DOES have glowing eyes ( often red...but not always, as we have seen ) and very often CAN just "disappear". Wild men are a huge part of folk lore across the world, as are "lake monsters". A close study of the phenomenon shows that encounters with such things are very "non sensical" in nature and have a very "faerie tale" quality about them. I think the BIGGEST mistake made, that people who search for such things, is that they try to corner these phenomenon into a "scientific" box. They keep looking for some zoological oddity when what they are truly searching for exists on a much deeper, spiritual level. There is no missing link in the forests of Oregon, Washington, or California. There is no TRUE dog walking the roadsides of England. There is NO pleisiosaur roaming the bottom of some dark Scotiish Loch or the depths of Lake Okanagon is Canada. there are no Faerie Folk in Ireland...or Colorado. Nonetheless, people still see these things. People still see Faeries, people see Bigfoot or the Yeti...and from Scotland to Guatamala "large, mysterious black dogs" sometimes scare the wits out of travelers in the dead of night. They key is to understand that what they see in not "understandable" per se. It could be illusion or hallucination, it could be a real "spirit creature" like the Thunderbird ( whaich has ALSO been seen ) or Well Guardians of the Cenotes ( sacred wells ) of the Mayan Indians. Regardless of whether the cause of these incidents are bland or mystical; there is still a real and logical CAUSE. It is the determination of the root cause of these phenomenon that must be made by careful examination. |

Agreed. If those guys had ARs and FALs, I would have done my best Predator reinactment... |
|
|
Been there, done that, left my T-shirt as I hauled ass away. Except it happened in my own fucking house. Paranormal shit is wicked fucking cool....But it also is the most unnerving thing you will ever go through. Nothing makes you feel as powerless as facing something that you're convinced isnt quite real...... But its still fun to joke about. I'd love to see Beer Slayers "dog". |
|
|
I can just see me now....Pippi Longstocking costume, a dog whistle and a nice bit of schnitzel....... "Yoooohoooooo......ohhhhh Saaaasquaaatch!!!!" |
