I am still terrified by Pet Sematary. One of my favorite books by @StephenKing.
The movie adaptation from 1989 still haunts me…

Wait, wait, wait… this witness illustration from the Bigelow Cryptid File was done in 2010 but the first TV appearance of MANBEARPIG was 4/26/06 on South Park! It actually could be true that there’s a connection! What do you think? (I’m super cereal about this, guys)

In 1937, anthropologist William Morgan wrote of a Navajo man named Hahago, in Yale Publications in Anthropology, XI, who told of a skinwalker, “They go very fast,” page 111.

Are reporters reading Kelleher, Colm & Knapp, George: Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah (Paraview Pocket Books, 2005) for 2018? What other phenomenon (Bigfoot?) was studied by Robert Bigelow with the $22 million? @CryptoLoren

"...the creature is standing on two legs, the estimated height is six to seven feet."
🫣 Drop 7 - Creatures 🐺
"Interspersed with the allegations of multiple creature sightings are multiple reports of unidentified flying objects."
"Eleven (11) separate individuals witnessed a bipedal 'dog-like' creature and/or orbs of light at different times in different locations near the Utah Ranch property."
(NEAR, not ON Skinwalker - I'm reading the interviews of the witnesses now. An old-lady-like creature jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Imagine seeing something like that? I believe Bigelow talked about that sighting recently on his podcast, and I shared it.)
Utah Ranch Report Abstract 2010
Witnesses have reported unidentified balls of light at close range, daytime sightings of "dog-like" creatures running on two legs, unnatural animalistic howling/screaming, "little people", prehistoric-like birds and a maggot which measured about 8-feet long and 2 to 3-feet in diameter.
To date, May 7, 2010, over twenty-five (25) people have been contacted and interviewed in person, predominantly at their homes. This group consists of all life-long residents of the area within a mile or two of the ranch property, four (4) local police officers, eleven (11) Native Americas, including a Shaman, the director of the local Fish and Wildlife office, twelve (12) ranchers, six (6) business owners and approximately fifteen (15) members of the Mormon Church. All of the people interviewed have had first hand encounters. Eleven (11) separate individuals witnessed a bipedal "dog-like" creature and/or orbs of light at different times in different locations near the Utah Ranch property. Many of the reported observations took place during daytime and nighttime and occurred from twenty years ago to as recent as April 2010. The eyewitness ages ranged from fifteen to seventy-seven years old.
The following is a summary of the Utah ranch investigation findings to date
1. Comprehensive multiple witness descriptions of a large "dog" or "wolf" like creature or creatures which have the ability to walk and run at speed on two legs. Multiple witnesses have described in their interviews, when the creature is standing on two legs, the estimated height is six to seven feet. From these interviews, there may be at least three separate types of creatures. Total number of independent witnesses (separately interviewed) eleven.
2. Multiple witness descriptions of small, hairy, three-foot tall "troll" like creatures with long arms which appear to run in a similar way to chimpanzees or orangutan. (Four independent eyewitnesses)
3. Multiple witnesses (>2) reports of large "worm" like creatures, a prehistoric "pterodacty" like creature, "little people" and other anomalies. It should be noted the vast majority of reports detailed in points 1-3 have allegedly occurred within the last five to seven years.
4. Interspersed with the allegations of multiple creature sightings are multiple reports of unidentified flying objects, to include unidentified aircraft and "balls of light. Some of these allegations are recent and some historic récollection.
5. BAASS has obtained photographs of tracks in the snow which remain unidentified. These photographs identify (a) two sets of tracks merge into one, and (b) where tracks in the snow on the Ranch property appear to walk "through" a barbed wire fence. BAASS has also obtained a variety of hair samples from the vicinity of these tracks. These hair samples are currently undergoing scientific DNA analysis.
6. BAASS has conducted comprehensive electromagnetic signature sweeps of the Ranch property. One set of measurements taken at a point on the mesa at the ranch indicated a strong, yet to be explained, signal which was not detected on previous readings. The report described: "Location D2 recorded two large signals in both the horizontal and vertical positions. These signals were not present the day before when measurements were taken at DO. The first signal was 1210, 1213 and 1216 MHz and the second large spike was 1232.5, 1235.5 and 1238.5 MHz. The signals fell in the frequency bands of 1164-1215 and 1215-1240 MHz. This space is allocated for Earth exploration-satellite (active), radio location G56, radio navigation-satellite (space-to-Earth) (space to space) G132, and space research (active). Provisions G56 and G132 state these frequency spans are primarily for military purposes, but they can be used by other federal agencies in support of science and research" The signals were detectable between 1-2 GHz with both horizontal and vertically polarized antennae. Further measurements and research, particularly into satellite transmitting frequencies and times will be required to identify the origin of these signals.

🇺🇸 The Pentagon has releases report of 'Skinwalkers' at Utah Ranch with a hair sample 😱
BAASS investigators recorded a witness who said he had just seen what he believed was a Skinwalker chased by his dogs that ran through a barbed wire fence, from which a hair sample was collected and submitted for analysis. Family members corroborated a black shadowy figure near the same time.
Eleven separate individuals independently described a bipedal dog-like creature able to walk and run at speed on two legs. When standing upright the estimated height was six to seven feet. Sightings occurred in daylight and at night, some as recent as April 2010.
Investigators also photographed anomalous tracks that appeared to continue through a barbed wire fence with no evidence of a broken stride. Multiple hair samples were taken from the vicinity of these tracks and submitted for DNA analysis. The report includes close-up images of the unknown hair sample from the reported Skinwalker sighting.

Hi! Loren Coleman. May i ask you a few questions for my final degree project about Cryptids?
Loren Coleman retweeted
Reception: Oct 23, 2026, (unofficial Halloween in Carbondale, Illinois). 🎃
"Spooked or Spoofed | a celebration of cryptozoology."
New exhibition at @SIUC. Dates: Aug 21 – Dec 11, 2026.

“I believe in nothing, and I’m open-minded to everything. The evidence that I see: the tracks, the hair samples, the animals that are preyed upon—those are all the physical evidence. I don’t get into the paranormal... Instead, I accept or deny the evidence.” A quote from Loren Coleman in Maine Magazine.
The Sharp Museum hosts a cryptid-themed exhibition, "Spooked or Spoofed | a celebration of cryptozoology." Cryptozoology is defined as the study of and search for hidden or unknown animals, including legendary creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. There are several legends of wild things lurking in the dark woods of the Shawnee Forest and remote regions of Illinois, such as Bigfoot, the freaky Farmer City monster, a creepy thing called Cohomo, the Murphysboro mud monster, the Enfield horror, the man eating Piasa bird, terrifying thunderbirds over Illinois, creatures of the watery deep, kangaroos on the loose, and albino squirrels of Olney. Artwork is not necessarily focused on Illinois cryptids and is open to all cryptids. This will be a national Juried exhibition. The Jurors are Jeremy Efroymson* and Loren Coleman**.
About the Jurors:
*Jeremy Efroymson is an artist, art collector, amateur cryptozoologist, philanthropist, grassroots arts activist, and vice chair of the Efroymson Family Fund. He received his BA in Film and Video Studies from the University of Michigan in 1990 and his MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia College Chicago in 1996. He primarily works in photography, installation, and found-object sculpture. He also received his MBA from Butler.
**Loren Coleman is an American cryptozoologist, author, and researcher who has written over 40 books on mysterious zoological phenomena. He is most famous for founding and directing the International Cryptozoology Museum, now in Bangor, Maine, and his six decades of fieldwork tracking cryptids like Nessie, Dover Demon, and Bigfoot. Coleman received a BA in anthropology with a minor in zoology from SIU-C, MSW from Simmons School of Social Work, Boston, and doctoral work from Boston University (social anthropology) and University of New Hampshire (sociology), without final degrees. He has been involved in cryptozoology since 1960, publishing since 1969, and museum directing since 2003. @CryptoLoren

Cryptozoologists and Ufologists need to work together! Cryptozoologists and Ufologists need to join forces to study both Cryptids and Aliens. They can combine both of their studies together.
