Mysterious Universe

Yay!

Ah, once again one of those flag words for me came up for me again in today's episode. Last week I wondered why “craft” always gets tossed around in UFO sightings. This week the word “being” (as a noun) caught my ear as another one that makes me wonder why that gets used so frequently in reporting of supernatural events by witnesses of those events. “Creature” gets used a lot too, but I think I'm more forgiving of that since it generally is used to describe cryptozoological encounters and in some ways it's the best word for it. I think “creature” is a better word than “being” for alien encounters as well, but people really like to given the aliens the benefit of the doubt regarding their place in the universe's evolutionary scale and so they get “being” instead of “creature” most of the time. Whereas cryptids are almost always tagged with “creature” since the general perception is that they fall below humans on the human self-referential scale of intelligence, etc.

I can't say I “enjoyed” the exception to that story of the bigfoot “witness” from a couple of weeks ago (that's all too well laid out as a viral marketing hook to take seriously) but I DID like that hook in the story that the Bigfoot wasn't just a lumbering ape man thing but an intelligent and communicative creature.

What I would love to hear is for you guys to dig up some stories of intelligent, communicative creatures that someone also just happened to catch wandering around with someone's dead dog or butchered cow. (Again, back to wondering exactly what those aliens are doing with those cows. I'm still with Weedmaster P on this on.)

Where are the reports like this? “I think I caught a chupacapra in my backyard about to kill my dog. At first I thought it was a person and I yelled and asked just what it thought it was doing. It apologized from the shadows and said it was hungry and got confused about exactly what kinds of things people didn't get upset about going missing (babbling that rabbits, cows, sheep and goats tended to be his favorites but he get confused about them which might have explained why he was picking up dogs). It wandered out of the shadows and into my back porch light and I could see it wasn't a person at all but a short creature with protruding fangs and goat like horns. I was initially terrified until it spoke yet again in perfect English and asked if I had any tea bags it could borrow. I said yes. It quickly spoke and made it very clear that he needed only Earl Gray tea as he had a large stash of English Breakfast teas given to him by an old lady with several cats that he chats with. It also gave me a wink and nod about the cats saying 'Cats are wonderful eating and some people that collect cats in big groups never miss one or two.' I was a little startled by this as it DID make me a little suspicious about its earlier claims of confusing dogs with other animals. Admittedly, I was a little nervous about standing around in the yard at 10 PM at night chatting with a large fanged creature asking me if I had any Earl Gray tea. I took my dog inside and asked the creature to wait outside. It was very deferring and apologetic about my dog. I pushed the dog through the door, ran to the kitchen and grabbed the box of Earl Gray tea, and ran to the back door. The creature was still standing there, simply looking around. I handed it the tea and again and was very deferential and very thankful and again apologized about my dog. It said that Earl Gray was its favorite tea, mumbled something about not knowing how people drink coffee, nodded its head as if it were tipping a hat to me and then disappeared into the darkness. I heard it shuffle off into the wooded area behind my house. I have not seen it since, but I did find a Thank You note on my back porch a few days later with a scrawled “Thank you for the wonderful tea.” on it. I have not seen it since, but once a month in the evening I leave a box of Earl Gray tea on the back porch and it always is gone the next morning.”

Just want to say thank you for the mention of one of my posts – the one about the builder having to work around a stone because locals said fairies lived under it. I hope folk who have followed the link have also enjoyed finding out about my film 'Standing with Stones' – no it's not about fairies and stones but about all the megalithic site of the UK & Ireland – standing stones stone circles, etc. They may or may not have fairies living under them – couldn't say – but if you've more than a passing interest in things megalithic, check it out at http://standingstones.tv

The horse was ingesting colloidal silver. I can’t explain the loss of color but it’s a solid theory.
