Residents of Hughes Springs, a town in eastern Texas, have been seeing a large, spectral-white animal. And the fact that livestock has gone missing, or been found bearing injuries, support the claims. Could this mysterious animal be an albino mountain lion? One thing this linked article fails to mention is the difficulty such an animal…

The farther back archaeologists and anthropologists keep digging in our collective Human history, the more evidence of our innate violence they will discover. Living today, surrounded by civilization, it’s easy to forget that human beings are still animals—unless you start watching the news. Then you remember it, and fast. We have, thanks to the development…

As a general rule, the more one studies a paranormal phenomenon, the less mysterious and paranormal it seems. This is the case with cattle mutilations. It was so easy to imagine aliens were abducting cows and other livestock for bizarre experimentation, then leaving the mangled remains behind to frighten and titillate us humans. Then some…

The title here may constitute a trick question. There may not BE a difference between the two. As someone who has read extensively on the subject, I can tell you that there is wide disparity in thought and opinion among the experts. According to the information shared in this linked article, data provided by Dr.…

As I am writing this article, it is morning on Martin Luther King Day in the United States. This seems appropriate. I’m thinking now of Dr. King’s famous “I have a dream” speech, and of how far we as a civilized species have come in fulfilling that dream, and how far, sadly, we still have…

Human beings are omnivorous. We eat both vegetable matter and flesh. We have that in common with chimpanzees, whereas gorilla and orangutans, the other two species of great apes, are strictly vegetarians. Is it mere coincidence, then, that humans and chimps are so notoriously violent while orangutans and gorillas are know to be more timid,…

The most popular candidate for the true identity of Bigfoot is the giant ape GIGANTOPITHECUS BLACKII, which presumably went extinct some 100,000 years ago. Its range, though, in eastern Asia, would have put it in a perfect position, believers point out, to cross the Bering Strait land bridge into North America, the same means by…

The question that first came to mind for me while reading this linked article was, how’d the guy know what a Neanderthal looks like? He’s not a scientist. He’s not an expert. And, as the only Neanderthals we have seen are artistic recreations based on recovered fossils, and those constitute the best guesses of the…

The character Allison Argent, fans will recall, portrayed by actress Crystal Reed, is, or was, Scott McCall’s first love, a regular on the series until she was killed off in season three because Reed wanted to leave the show for greener pastures. Either those pastures weren’t so green after all, or else she foraged them…

I hear the questions forming in your mind, dear reader: What does THE REVENANT, the just-released movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio, have to do with werewolves? And, even if I am attempting to make a tangential connection to the supernatural, shouldn’t I be posting this on our sister site, vampires.com? After all, a “revenant” is a…
