[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Has any member seen a Werewolf , Skin Walker or other strange creature ? (Page 2 of 4)

Quoted: Filipina women are in the same category. Quoted: Quoted: I’m married to a redhead, which is the same as a werewolf. For those who have never encountered a redhead in the wildness. They can go from timid to terrifying in less time than you can say “oh fuck”. 18Z50 Filipina women are in the same category. Especially when alcohol is involved. Been there, done that. Nothing like a semi-muscular almost six foot American running away from a tiny, five foot woman screaming in Tagalog. The last thing you want over there is the barangay police or her family getting involved.

Quoted: I lived in dogman central for over 20 years and never saw one. My issue with these large 'cryptids' is that the calories they'd need to sustain even a small population would be tough to find I showed that analysis once. The wanna-believers and folklorists weren’t happy. |

Quoted: Seems like most biblical accounts had angels being pretty scary even if you were on the correct side of things. Quoted: Quoted: Angels are far less visually appealing to look at than as portrayed by artists. Seems like most biblical accounts had angels being pretty scary even if you were on the correct side of things. Yep because human beings are inherently evil and angels are perfect & pure...we live in the upside down and are creatures whose natures reflect that... Abraham,his nephew Lot, his grandson Jacob were able to look on them and interact with them and not be afraid...though...the bible says angels are on the earth and look like average people and gives a warning to humans that they may interact with angels at any time unaware...so be kind to strangers as you can. |

Quoted: I showed that analysis once. The wanna-believers and folklorists weren’t happy. Exactly, the polar bear is the largest carnivorous land mammal and they eat 12,000 calories/day. The blubber from seals and other marine animals provides a calorie-dense food source - they can eat like 90 kilos of food at a time. Put that polar bear in the woods of Wisonsin, where's it getting it's food? The deer there aren't exactly marbled. He'd be hunting all day and would likely be spotted praying on cattle out of necessity. |

Saw what, to our best guess, was a Windigo run through traffic last year. Friend and I were driving through the northern/rual mid-west and the thing lunged across the highway and threaded the needled between our truck and oncoming traffic. Thing was lightning fast, large (picture a lanky bear), and brown. We both arrived at Windigo without discussing it so there's that. |

Quoted: How about a really skinny coyote https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/317810/20220903_100407_jpg-2550492.JPG I'd worry more about that levitating black rock on the right. |

Quoted: I lived in dogman central for over 20 years and never saw one. My issue with these large 'cryptids' is that the calories they'd need to sustain even a small population would be tough to find I firmly believe there is some strange shit out there outside our range of perception. Having said that, I agree with you on this when it comes to supposed living, breathing things that are claimed to be hidden. Saw a great episode of River Monsters once with Jeremy Wade. He went to Loch Ness with a sonar setup. Rather than looking for Nessie, he surveyed how many fish and what types are in the Loch. He demonstrated there's nowhere near enough fish to sustain a breeding population of a creature the purported size of Nessie. Simple as that. |

The wanna-believers and folklorists weren’t happy. In one of my wildlife classes oh so many years ago somebody asked about the possibility of bigfoot. The professor's response was along those lines- there just weren't enough calories in the areas where they were reported to sustain any sort of breeding population of large, intelligent hunter gatherers. The next question of course involved bears surviving, but bigfoot isn't a bear (according to the stories) and they would have different requirements. Looking at primitive tribes, and even modern "primitive living" peoples such as the Alaskan natives, you can see how much work goes into collecting and storing food for the winter months- and nobody has ever found any evidence of that outside of human cultures. That was in the eighties before there were cameras everywhere- that still haven't taken any pictures of them.  Short of something supernatural, shapeshifting isn't going to happen in anything with a bony or even cartilaginous structure |

Well to be fair, there is a lot to be said for folklore and its role in human history. While I don't personally subscribe to the notion of the supernatural, I'm open to it, if only as a curiosity. One of the most compelling arguments I've seen is the study of ethnobotany and the commonality of the stories of people on certain psychedelics. People from different parts off the world describing similar experiences and even supposedly interacting with other "beings" and each other in those alternative "realities".  I also suspect that a lot of the stories have evolved over the years like "fish tales", especially in cultures with only oral histories. I caught a bass that weighed five pounds but each time I tell the story it gets a little bigger, and when my family tells it it's no longer a bass but a giant toothy gar that tried to eat me and several generations down the line it's become a full fledged sea monster. Or I hunted a bear and my cousin proudly made a cave painting to celebrate the successful hunt but the bear's diminutions are out of proportion to those of the hunter's or just plain exaggerated because it makes for a more compelling tale.

It would be cool to believe, but the utter lack of evidence is damning. The "scientific" evidence presented by squatchistas in particular is laughable. This thread belongs in their safe space. |

Quoted: I have seen a lot of blurry pics and shaky video on the net, usually shot from a distance. You would think someone could get a decent photograph. What are the odds? I want to believe... with the advent of all the home security cameras, etc... inside and outside homes... I want to know if anyone has caught aliens, cryptids, whatever in camera... |

Attached File This is a skinwalker that lives on my back porch. He kills squirrels and eats them starting at the nose and works his way down and stops at the base of the tail. His name is SPK. Aka Sam the Porch Kitty. He is terrifying. |

Biblically speaking Arent a third of Angels outright evil? Did they stop being Angels when they fell? Is Satan no longer an Angel? Sounds like a created race of creatures and some werent so great |

Here's a scientific lecture on experiments done by Big Pharma that accidentally created a vampire like being. It's since been exploited for Military/Industrial/Intelligence purposes and a Black vaccine program initiated to locate more test subjects  Vampires Biology and Evolution |

Quoted: Me too. For $20 you could toss him down a fake blowing lane into some pins. Its ok , he worse a helmet. He made a killing at that club till the liberals stopped it for his own good of course Quoted: Quoted: I saw a little person once. Me too. For $20 you could toss him down a fake blowing lane into some pins. Its ok , he worse a helmet. He made a killing at that club till the liberals stopped it for his own good of course All they're doing is driving the whole Oompaloompa bowling industry underground. It's not going to be a pretty sight left unregulated.

Quoted: Angels are far less visually appealing to look at than as portrayed by artists. Someone did CGI of what angels would look like according to the bible.  Biblically Accurate Angels ?? |
