Local expert in war of words over Windigo
In recent weeks, Edmonton ethno-historian Nathan Carlson has been called everything from a raving lunatic to an egomaniac trying to raise his own profile by exploiting a horrifying tragedy. "It's been terrible," he said yesterday. "I can't believe the things people have been calling me." Carlson is one of the world's leading experts on what he calls Windigo phenomenon, a condition where people believe they have been possessed by a Windigo, a mythological native monster with an appetite for human flesh...
Do dinosaurs still exist?
Paul Dale Roberts: Like I said once before, HPI investigates all things paranormal, even sightings of dinosaurs. I got an email from Zeiker Tamoshkin. Zeiker makes claim that while flying in a helicopter through the tropics of the Congo in Africa, he thought he saw a brontosaurus. This is a pretty big claim, except for the fact that a sauropodlike animal with a long neck called the Mokele-Mbembe has been seen in West Central Africa. It has been seen mostly in the Likouala region of the Congo, which is very swampy and remote. Many credible witnesses have come forth with claims of seeing the Mokele-Mbembe, such as missionaries, natives, hunters and explorers...

Close encounters of the ‘ghost’ kind
David and Ona Robertson own a 2, 700-square-foot house that looks a bit like an English castle. And since some castles are reputed to be haunted, it’s maybe not surprising when Ona Robertson, 62, refers to a supernatural extra that came with the purchase. But the couple was not made aware of it by a close encounter of the weird kind...
Subterranean dwellers
As a child I was always peeping from the stairs at the latest horror movie my mum and dad had hired. One such shocker was the 1972 Brit-flick 'Deathline', also known as 'Raw Meat', which concerned the horrific rumour that a race of cannibals were existing under the streets of London, and their acts of carnage taken out on all manner of victims such as tramps, drunks, city workers and pets. Author Michael Goss looked into the legend on several occasions and concluded that although primal or neglected humans may not be loitering in the underground, belief in such dwellers was indeed once rife...
100s Of SoCal Bigfoot sightings reported annually
More than 100 reports of Sasquatch sightings are made every year in Southern California, and local members of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Association say they are frustrated that a reported Sasquatch capture in Georgia turned out to be yet another man in a monkey suit, it was reported Saturday. "These people who conspired to make this hoax brought all the research down, in my opinion," said Palmdale resident Richard Hucklebridge in an interview with the Daily News...
Two couples are convinced they saw a black sasquatch while travelling through Skiff Lake
“I know exactly what I saw,” said Dale Tompkins. The resident of Anfield in Victoria County was referring to a remarkable incident in York County last weekend which he describes as “quite chilling ... for a few minutes afterwards, especially.” It was shortly after 7 p.m Sunday evening, Aug. 17 and Tompkins and his wife Valerie were travelling in the Skiff Lake area, heading home from a visit with friends at Second Eel River Lake. That’s when they spotted it – the creature they both firmly believe to be Bigfoot. “When we got home we went on the Internet and found pictures exactly like what we saw,” Dale told the Bugle-Observer the following day. “There were pictures of brown ones and black ones. What we saw was a black sasquatch.”..
