There’s a new post up from me at Mysterious Universe, which addresses a case that some people (depending on their opinions, views and beliefs) may feel has some relevance to cryptozoology, while others will conclude it has absolutely zero connection to the subject.
It starts like this:
“In the week leading up to Christmas 2007, I found myself on the receiving end of one of the strangest stories ever to darken my path. It has been my experience that when people are looking to speak with someone about their encounters with the unknown, they seek out those most amenable to what they have to say. By that I mean: most of my cryptozoological work is focused upon those fringe cases that exhibit evidence of high-strangeness and paranormal qualities. And so, the bulk of the reports that are brought to my attention usually tend to present such eerie qualities, too. Laura’s certainly did.
“She was thirty-six, lived in Rochester, New York, and worked for the Post Office. Laura related to me a remarkable and disturbing series of events that occurred to her and several friends in the summer of 1985 – events that began with attempts to contact the spirit world and culminated in the manifestation of a fearful, hairy man-beast.”
Here’s where you can find the rest of the story, and here’s a new blog post from me that discusses a couple of similar cases to that described in the Mysterious Universe article.
