New Trinkets from Cryptid Coins.

We know the struggles of everyday life.  The family, ball games, gymnastics practice, and working ones tail off to get by.  We also know everyone needs an outlet like a Cryptid Themed Conference or Paranormal Convention.

Some of these are costly to get into, not to mention the travel, possible hotel stays.  It can hurt ones budget.

Well the guys at Cryptid Coins get this.  Nothing worse than going to a convention and not having enough money to get the latest book or DVD, and they are friends with most of that circle.



Cryptid Coins formed to help everyone get a little something in their pockets from an event.

An affordable way to not break the bank.

They recently revealed the 50th Anniversary Patterson/ Gimlin film inspired Sasquatch Dollar, weighing in at a hefty 2 ounces.  With mention of a few more new designs by the end of the year.

The coin runs are VERY limited, as in 500 coins per design world wide will be produced then the dies will be destroyed.  How much are these awesome gems you ask.  Online they are $12 for the basic coin, and $18 for ones in graded cases "and who doesn't want one in a quality display case?"

At conventions and conferences the folks at Cryptid Coin offer reduced rate (even if paying with a credit/debit card). On average $10 for the basic and $15 for the one in case.

BUT HOLD THE PRESSES!!

New this week is a new series of more affordable designs for when you, or one of the kids wants to take home a trinket.  Anyone remember Wooden Nickels??   Well they are back in a whole new series for Cryptids, Ghosts and Haunting's and...... yes UFO genre's.

So how much you ask...... Online because of fees its $3........ yeah THREE BUCKS  And if you catch them in person at an Event..........ITS ONLY $2.....TWO BUCKS!!!!

And a surprise is coming for folks who subscribe to Cryptid Crate the Cryptid themed box subscription  service in the coming months as Cryptid Coins has teamed up with them as well.

Not to mention the International Cryptozoological Museum run by Loren Coleman.


All proceeds from coins sales are funding multiple huge film projects that will be revealed this fall.

Ghost Sex in Cars, Oh My!!

 
One does not usually associate ghosts with being sexually active or being troubled by desires of the flesh but throw a Succubus and Incubus into equation and you have ghosts seducing passing motorists on busy roads in the UK.

 
Well that's the claim anyways, almost makes you want to fuel up, and go for a ride doesn't it?

There is a highway in Swansea, Wales, that has been investigated numerous times due to incidents involving highly-sexed ghosts and unwitting drivers.
 
A Pembrokeshire man was seduced by a visitor from beyond the grave posing as a beautiful woman hitchhiking on the A40. This man genuinely believed he was seduced by a paranormal entity.  After being on a date that hadn’t gone as planned. He saw a beautiful woman on the side of the road and he picked her up.
 
He started to smell something strange, at first he thought it was like a cigarette smell. He was overcome with a choking sensation, and thought he was going to die.
He pushed her back with all his strength and there was not a pretty girl on him any longer but some haggard, disgusting old woman with some kind of awful skin condition. Then she just simply vanished.
 
So what's your take on this.  There are tons of reports in this area, and other locations around the world with similar stories.
 
Road trip anyone?

Casual Fishing Outting Photo Yields GHOST of a Girl

Most outdoor adventures of fishermen result in photos of them proving they got the big one! Living in the area that I do in the world surrounded by 2 huge lakes and 3 different river sources, not counting the creeks and streams. I see my share of photos, ranging in a nice catch, to huge brown bears from trail cams, to the Big kill during deer season.

This photo here however, is perplexing.

In the early 1990's while out on a hike that involved some serious trekking through brush and weeds, a couple, Dorothy Dunn, and Elizabeth Tolomeo came out of the woods and to a remote lake while on their backwoods hike in Wisconsin.

Remote was an understatement, no roads, no boat ramps, no houses, very much isolated from the world and the chaos of people. The perfect spot for some relaxation, and some fishing. Elizabeth decided to capture some photos for the day on their camera, not looking for anything, just simple candid shots of them enjoying the day.

It wasn't until the film was developed at a later time that Elizabeth noticed something a tad bizarre in one of the photos. It appears to be a girl, in period clothing. Possibly wearing a pinafore and bonnet.

The area was a busy logging area back in the day. The plague hit and many children did pass during this time. Star Lake Cemetery has graves of many of the area kids that succumbed to the sickness.

It is suspected that this may be the captured image of a child spirit, or possibly a Native American Child Spirit. One thing they are very adamant about........ It was just the two of them there, no one else was around when the image was taken.

Spirits toss a Pint of Ale without Spilling a Drop

A Cornwall couple have come to the conclusion that their 17th century pub has more than just the spirits you put in a glass.  The couple, Jenny Heard and Martin McConn laughed off the ghostly tales tied to the historic Crow's Nest Inn on Bodmin Moor, in Cornwall.

But just days after their arrival the couple witnessed a full pint of Proper Job ale flew off the bar, landing on the floor - without spilling a single drop.



When they raced over to inspect the mess they were stunned to find the glass was standing upright on the stone floor and none of the beer had spilled.

As the oldest building in the village that bears its name, the Crow's Nest has long been a focus for thirsty locals and moorland visitors alike, appearing on Joel Gascoyne's famous Map of Cornwall as far back as 1699.

Numerous paranormal events have been chronicled over the years, from a bell that was said to ring on its own, to a clock that constantly ran ten minutes fast no matter how many times it was wound back.

Locals say there are several Spirits in the traditional pub, including the spectre of a local woman who was murdered in 1844.

Jenny said: "It went terribly cold in the bar all of a sudden. Everybody in the pub just stopped and looked around to see how it could have happened, but the doors were all shut and nobody was standing near the glass at the time it moved."

Man convinces woman her Vagina is Haunted and it requires an Exorcism via Penis?

You just can't make this stuff up!

In 2013, a man by the name Huang Jianjun was arrested in the Guangdong Province, China, after he claimed that a young woman's vagina was haunted by ghosts, and  that the only way to rid them from her was by having sexual intercourse.



The paranormal enthusiast charged over $3000 to perform the so called sexorcism.  The young lady called police the following day and Jianjun was promptly arrested.

"The victim allegedly came to the self-described "ghost hunter" because she needed help seducing her boss who she had a crush on. That's when Jianjun allegedly pitched the unorthodox exorcism idea,"

The young woman, an employee of a spice shop was so infatuated with her boss that she sought Jianjun for help because she wanted her employer to be with her. According to the young woman, she claimed that Jianjun could help the two fall in love by giving her an exorcism.

The pair allegedly met in a hotel room so that Jianjun could perform the exorcism. While in the room he had her strip nude so that he could examine her naked body. Jianjun then convinced the young woman that he needed to have sex with her and that it was the only way to get rid of the evil spirits. Jianjun claimed that his penis would banish the ghosts that were preventing the young woman and her boss from falling in love.

Jianjun insists that he never had sex with the young woman and that he can't get an erection due to diabetes. He is currently in jail awaiting trial in Guangzhou.



"Just when I thought I have heard everything, I run across stories like these.  I fear for our country, I fear for our world,  I'm so scared now, I keep meeting people that are so gullible.  I'm open to odd things, obviously, I am willing to accept some theories, but to live in a world where you can honestly be convinced your vagina is haunted!!  Let me off this planet,  Where's The Mother Ship?"

Ghost Car Video in Russia.... this will blow your mind!

‘Ghost car’ appears out of nowhere in front of a car, at a busy intersection in Russia – and everyone is confused!


We have all heard that ghosts live in haunted, abandoned warehouses and come out only in the night to scare people. But, if they do exist, then how do they travel longer distances? Surely all that flying around must be tiring.



Well, we have some proof that they may drive around when they feel like.
A new video shows a car, that appears out of thin air, on a road in Russia. Since it was uploaded to Youtube on the 13th of March this year, it has gone viral, while at the same time remaining mysterious. The video footage has left people all across the world trying to figure out where the car came from.





The story in the video begins when a car is waiting behind a BMW at a busy junction, during a stop light. The camera is in the above mentioned car, and the footage is shot from that perspective.
After a few seconds, the lights change and the cars begin to move. They are about to turn left at the crossroads, and the BMW that is in front of the car is almost across this intersection.

However, as the BMW finishes the turn left, he is abruptly interrupted by the front of a car that appears from nowhere! This causes a minor accident, and the driver of the car with the camera in it shouts in dismay when he sees the ‘ghost car’.

Since it was uploaded, the video has received well over two million views. People who have seen it are trying to come up with various theories on how it could have happened. However, some other have said that the video could be a fake.

One of the users on Youtube has said that if one looks closely under a tram which is in the video, at about 7-8 seconds, one can see the reflection of the headlights of the car. This suggests that the car took the lane next to the tram, and it was not a ‘ghost’.

Another person says that the car in question may have come from the same road as the tram, but probably jumped the traffic lights. The BMW driver did not see him until the last moment, but there was another car near the BMW that did see the ghost car, and hit the brakes.

In addition to this, a person said that the reflection of the lights of the ghost car is visible underneath the BMW, on closer inspection. This means that the driver of the ghost car may have come towards the BMW at a high speed and then slowed down to pass behind the first car from the BMW’s lane that turned left.

Your thoughts??

9 yr old walks backwards up a wall with credible witness, Real Life Demon Possession or Movie Plot?

A terrified mother claims she watched in horror as her demon-possessed 9-year-old son walked backwards up a wall and ceiling. One would simply dismiss her claims if a child services case worker and a nurse weren’t present to witness it all.
A Real Life Demon Possession Is Being Reported in Indiana – The Details Are Almost Too Horrifying to Believe
(Screengrab via Daily Mail)

Latoya Ammons claims all three of her children showed signs of being possessed, including “evil” smiles and strangely deep voices, the Indianapolis Star reports. The mother says she also witnessed her 12-year-old daughter levitating in their Gary, Ind., home.
Strangely enough, the scary-sounding incident is detailed in official documents. Gary police Capt. Charles Austin told the Star that he is a “believer” after making several visits to the home and interviewing witnesses. His first thought was that the family was making up the elaborate story up as part of a get-rich-quick scheme. Would even make a block buster movie.
 
Ammons’ home was “exorcized” by a catholic priest over numerous ceremonies that were reportedly authorized by the local Diocese in Gary. The story is apparently so believable that officers with the local police department said they were too scared to stay at the house and some city officials are reported as to no even wanting to step foot on the property.
 
The 32-year-old mother says the spirits that haunted her family’s house were only vanquished after she moved away and underwent several exorcisms. The unbelievable story has come to light after the Indianapolis Star obtained hundreds of pages of official documents relating to the case.
The Ammons family moved into the rental house on Carolina Street in Gary, Ind., back in November 2011. They soon noticed strange occurrences, including swarms of flies around the house, footsteps in the basement and wet footprints streaking across the living room floor.

But what happened next made those incidents seem pleasant.
 
In March 2012, Ammons claims she rushed to check on her 12-year-old daughter after hearing her screams. When she entered the bedroom, she says she witnessed her daughter levitating above her bed unconscious.
 
The family and some of the guests they were hosting prayed over the girl until she returned back to the bed. The girl reportedly didn’t remember anything about it.
The torment reportedly continued and the family wasn’t in a position financially to flee the home. So the family contacted churches and clairvoyants for help, but they received little relief. The clairvoyants allegedly told the family their house was haunted by more than 200 demons.

Ammons claims her childrens’ eyes bulged and they regularly sported evil smiles, effects of their possession. Her youngest child would reportedly sit in a closet and talk to an invisible child that no one could see. She also claims he was once thrown from the bathroom when no one was even near him.

Most of Ammons’ allegations are backed up by her mother, Rosa Campbell, who also lived in the house.
Later in 2012, child protective services in Indiana was contacted to investigate the mother for possible child abuse or mental illness. A psychiatrist reportedly evaluated Ammons and determined she was not mentally ill.
 
A family case manager reportedly interviewed the family and witnessed a number of strange occurrences. Valerie Washington confirmed that she witnessed the youngest boy growling before his eyes rolled back in his head.
 
Washington also claimed she saw the 9-year-old boy flash a “weird grin” and then walk backward up a wall to the ceiling. Her account was corroborated by a nurse.
 
“There’s no way he could’ve done that,” the nurse told the Star.
After being sent to investigate Ammons, Washington concluded that an “evil influence” might be affecting the family.
 
Now audio has been captured with Non Human Voices from the location.

British Model Peaches Deldof has Ghostly hand appearing in Instagram selfie with her Son.

Peaches Geldof' says that a ghostly hand appeared on right shoulder and it isn't hers or her son's.
 
An unexpected guest appeared in a photo with a woman and her son recently. She uploaded the self portrait on Instagram earlier this week and her celebrity father noticed a ghostly hand in the image, Fox News reported yesterday.

Irish singer-songwriter Bob Geldof noticed something strange in a photo that his 24-year-old daughter Peaches took recently. British model, journalist, and television presenter Peaches Geldof and her son Astala were taking a bath earlier this week when she decided to take a close-up photo of them to post on Instagram. In the photo, a strange ghostly hand can be seen on the socialite's right shoulder.

“Close-up shot of the mystery ghost hand in pic I took of Astala and me in the bath!” Geldof said on her Instagram account. “And no that isn't my hand, one of mine was round his waist to hold him during the photo, the other holding the camera to take the shot. Also the hand is around my shoulder so totally weird angle if I did it myself! How terrifying!”

Some of Geldof's friends think the hand is actually her hand. Geldof insists that the hand isn't hers or her son's. She believes that the hand belongs to a spirit of a woman and that the ghost is friendly and maternal. Geldof says that there is a good feeling in the home and she thinks the ghost likes being around young children.

“If you actually look really closely at the background you can actually see a boy standing in the mirror behind that thing,” Aria Montgramary, a friend of Geldof said.

Geldof lives in an old home in Southeast England with her husband and their two young children. Geldof's husband thinks that the hand belongs to a woman that committed suicide in the house over 100 years ago. According to the family, this isn't the only time that they've encountered her spirit.

"Spiritual Contact" on a Hotel Ghost Tour Is Just a Guy Hiding in the Attic

Self-professed psychic medium Chris Date (who hilariously calls himself the Knight Guider) recently led a paying group of customers on a ghost hunt through a supposedly haunted hotel, where he proceeded to make contact with a phantom spirit through a series of knocks on the hotel ceiling, because ghosts do that in movies, right?
 
A few of his suspicious guests waited around after the tour to see if anyone climbed down from the roof of the attic, and to the surprise of absolutely nobody on the planet, someone totally did. The man denied responsibility for the spooktacular knocks, and the Knight Guider himself jumped in his car and drove away before he could be questioned, because he needed time to come up with a response other than just an incoherent string of nervous stuttering.

The Archives: Tennessee woman shoots at ghost hunters

We lost a lot of stories in the transition of formats.  Here is one from the Old site pulled from the Archives.

Tennessee woman shoots at ghost hunters

Brandi Lea Amey allegedly opens fire on ghost hunters
A BB gun-wielding woman allegedly fired shots at a car of people that stopped near her home to explore a haunted tunnel. She was charged with five counts of aggravated assault today.

According to Hawkins County Sheriff Deputy Michael Lipe, on Thursday, June 13, at around 11 p.m., 20-year-old Jessica Winstead and four of her teenage friends stopped on Big Elm Road to explore the Sensabaugh Hollow Road railroad tunnel. The group had heard the tunnel was haunted and planned to take some photos. A nearby neighbor, 28-year-old Brandi Lea Amey came out of her home and told the group to leave. As Winstead and her friends were driving away, Amey allegedly opened fire on the car, hitting the rear of the vehicle.

“Jessica stated that a female with blond hair (later identified as Brandi Lea Amey) came out from the residence next to the tunnel and told them they needed to leave. As the male was getting back into the vehicle, they observed some type of firearm in Amey’s hand. Jessica said she saw the female cocking the firearm, and as they drove off, Amey fired it at them, striking the rear of the vehicle.” Lipe also stated in his report that Winstead's left taillight was damaged.

Amey told authorities that the tunnel attracts a lot of people due to its haunted tales and she's fed up with it. She was arrested early Friday morning and charged with five counts of aggravated assault. Amey is currently out on $10,000 bond awaiting her preliminary hearing scheduled for July 29.
The Sensabaugh Hollow Road railroad tunnel is located off of Big Elm Road in Church Hill, Tennessee. The location is rumored to be haunted by railroad workers.

The Archives: Paranormal After-Death Experiences 'Explained'

We lost a lot of stories in the transition of formats.  Here is one from the Old site pulled from the Archives.
Paranormal After-Death Experiences 'Explained'

A mysterious surge of brain activity observed in dying rats may explain reports of near-death-experiences (NDEs), researchers claim.
Even after the animals' hearts stopped beating and no blood was reaching their brains, they appeared to show signs of conscious perception.
The study is the first to take a systematic look at the neurophysiological state of the dying brain after a cardiac arrest.
It suggests something happens at the brink of death that pushes the conscious brain to a high level of arousal.
This may trigger the visions and sensations associated with NDEs, scientists believe.
As many as a fifth of people who survive cardiac arrests report having had an other-worldly experience while being "clinically" dead.
Typically NDEs involve travelling through a tunnel towards an intense light or being separated from the body.
Others encounter long-departed loved ones or angels and undergo some kind of judgment of "life review".
Some emerge from NDEs as transformed individuals with a completely altered outlook on life, or a new belief in religion.
But many scientists believe near-death-experiences are nothing more than hallucinations induced by the effect of the brain shutting down.
The new research involved recording the electrical nerve impulses of anaesthetised rats whose hearts were artificially stopped.
Within 30 seconds after suffering a cardiac arrest, all the animals displayed a short-lived surge of widespread, highly synchronised brain activity.
"We were surprised by the high levels of activity," said Dr George Mashour, one of the US researchers from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
"In fact, at near-death many known electrical signatures of consciousness exceeded levels found in the waking state, suggesting that the brain is capable of well-organised electrical activity during the early stage of clinical death."
The findings are reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Previously it was assumed that brain activity ceases when the heart stops.
"This study tells us that reduction of oxygen or both oxygen and glucose during cardiac arrest can stimulate brain activity that is characteristic of conscious processing," said lead scientist Dr Jimo Borjigin, also from the University of Michigan.
"It also provides the first scientific framework for the near-death experiences reported by many cardiac arrest survivors."
British expert Dr Martin Coath, from the Cognition Institute at University of Plymouth, said: "This new research is genuinely interesting.
"But the conclusion that these are 'neural correlates of heightened conscious processing' isn't strongly supported, unless you take it to mean 'more of some types of activity that are associated with being awake' which is a bit of a stretch.
"As the induced cardiac arrest happens while the rat's brain is anaesthetised, the results show the response of an unconscious brain to critical lack of blood flow and oxygen.
"It is certainly interesting that this causes some types of activity in the brain to increase in a predictable and coordinated way well after the heart has stopped, but hardly surprising."
Dr David McGonigle, from University of Cardiff, said: "Do we know if animals experience 'consciousness'? Most philosophers and scientists are still at loggerheads over what the term refers to in humans, let alone in other species.
"While recent research now suggests that animals may indeed have the kind of autobiographical memories that humans possess, the kinds of memories that allow us to place ourselves in a certain time and place, it seems unlikely that near-death-experiences would necessarily be similar across species."
