Cryptozoology 2

The study of hidden animals.
Every year almost 20,000 new species of animals are discovered.
Quite a few of the animals we now know are real were once thought of as legendary; the mountain gorilla, the colossal squid, the saola, the okapi, to name but a few.
Even kangaroos were once thought to be legendary. When the earliest white settlers of Australia described to their European families that they had seen a creature with a head like a deer that stood upright like a man and hopped like a frog they were ridiculed and their accounts disregarded.

Just wanted to point that out.

Now, I came across these two today:

As cute as they are, what are they??
They were allegedly found washed up on shores, one on San Diego and the other in South Carolina.
The first one reminds me of the Montauk monster (see below) from some years ago, but it also looks kind of fake to me. Rubbery.
Anyway, here are the links:

Cryptozoology

Study of hidden animals. The search for animals whose existence has not been proven.
Mmmmm. Yummy! Me likey!
I don't know what it is, but I devour every report of cryptid sightings I can find! The first ones I read about were those story book type monsters. In Sweden we believe, at least in the past, in trolls and gnomes, sprites and little people.
Yes, those are all lovely and nice, but my interst was really triggered for real the first time I read about Mothman when I was 11-12.

Ooooooooooooooo..............how scared I was! How unfamiliar this was! How absolutely intriguing!
What were those things? Were they really real?
This was the real starting point for me I think. The "normal" world has been explored by billions of people since the dawn of man. How explored have the other worlds been?
Sure there are puzzle pieces in this realm too, but think of how many could be in the other realms!

There are so many reported cryptids sightings that of only one percent of them are true, that still leaves tons of unanswered questions.
Bigfoot, the most "common" cryptid. Real or not? I believe it is. I believe a lot of reported sighting might have been of bears or some other known animal, but after everything I have read in my days, there exists no doubt in my mind that these guys are real. At least as real as you and I, whatever that means.
What the bigfoots (bigfeet??) are remains to be answered. For a while there I thought they might be some interstellar travellers, since UFO reports are common in areas with bigfoot sightings.
I don't believe that any more. At least I don't believe that's the sole explanation.

I once read an account from an elderly man who had encountered bigfoot lots of times, but when he talked about it to the media he was efficiently silenced by the government.
Yes, that could just be some crazy old fart whose mind is going, but the way he told the story... It rang true to me.
This man claimed to have been standing in a forest looking out over a meadow when a bigfoot suddenly appeared out of thin air! Then another came, and the man describes that portion of air they were appearing from as vibrating. Kind of like air would do over a road on a hot summer's day.
This made me think bigfoots were from another dimension, another realm, another universe, and that they visited this one via portals.
But in general, now, I think of Bigfoots as a sort of race, a being, with "talents" different from ours. We may be better than them in some areas, but they are in touch with nature in ways we can only dream of.

According to old wiccan and pagan beliefs, there are elemental spirits. Representative of the four elements they work for nature, to simplify matters.
Could all cryptids be elementals?
I think some might be, but even with that "explanation", there are still questions that linger.
Will be coming back to this subject repeatedly I suspect. :)

Binaural beats

This is one thing I was really hoping would work on me...
Changing your brainwaves and altering your consciousness without the use of drugs.
For weeks now I have been trying. I have listened to the free binaurals available on youtube, like this one:
http://youtu.be/MfDm9ZwJXrY
I've been hoping to feel more uplifted and in some ways I have. I mean, there are some effects, but probably not what other people can get.

From what I can understand about binaural beats, you're not supposed to jump around and listen to different frequencies, so I've been sticking with the delta and theta ones.
I've narrowed it down to 4-5 that I like and that seems to have some effect. Two that are supposed to be helpful with sleep, and they do make me yawn. That may be because of my expectations, but in all honesty, my expectations have really not been set very high. I'm giving this an honest chance for a few months, that's all.
The anti-depressant one and the healing ones make me feel calmer. I like them.

Most of the time nothing in particular happens, but some binaurals seem to kick in 24 hours or so after I've listened to them. Twice that's happened now. One was a marijuana simulation. It was supposed to turn your brainwaves into those a person smoking pot has.
Nothing happened on the first day. Listened to it again the second day and nada. But on the third night I suddenly felt very strange. stoned, I would say, even though I've never been stoned. I listened to the binaural again and I was definitely feeling it that time!
Tried it the next night too but then it was the same as the first two nights.
The other was one frequency that was supposed to "make girls go bonkers", in a sexual way of course.
Scoffing, I felt the need to debunk this, so I listened to it. As I expected, nothing happened.
Until tonight that is.
I was innocently taking a walk when all of a sudden I got hit with this very unexpected heavy feeling of desire. At first I tried to just shake it off, since I'm a scorpio I'm quite prone to such feelings anyway.... But usually something has happened that has triggered that impulse. This time it just hit me from out of the dark night, and it was 24 hours after I listened to that stupid binaural...

Well, I'm going to focus only on these relaxing, healing ones from now on.
You're supposed to do it every day for 30 days I've read, so I'm going to keep going for a while longer!

New perspectives

You stand in the middle of a maze of hedges. All you can see is the closest opening so you go there.
Up in a tree next to the maze someone sits and has a completely different perspective of the maze you're in. Maybe the opening you go for is only going to lead you deeper into this maze. You don't know this, but the guy in the tree does.
Such a small change of perspective can have such an impact on a situation.

This is why we must never stop trying new things, get to know new people.
It can be as simple as listening to a type of music you don't normally listen to.

Go climb a hill! :D

Strange sounds again...

Just a little added info and a thought.
List of many, many of these strange sounds, all except one are from 2012:
http://paranormal.about.com/od/earthmysteries/tp/Strange-Sounds-From-All-Over-The-World.htm

Thought: It just hit me, that the one from Borneo included in the list above, is the ONLY one I've ever heard that comes from the southern hemisphere...
Why?

Black Eyed Kids

Time to get down to business.
BEK's, for lack of a better name have rattled the very core of me since the first time I heard about them.
These are (usually) kids, around 8-15 years old, which seem to seek people out and ask to be allowed entry into their homes, or in at least one case, car.
The scary thing about these kids is not so much their general appearance, but their demeanor. And, of course, their completely black eyes. No whites, no shine. Like two black holes...
People having these encounters often talk about experiencing a feeling of dread, primal fear.

When reading these stories I often notice how unattentive people are. Many want to dismiss these stories for reasons that make no sense at all if you actually read it.
"Some people have black eyes". Sure, some have next to black irises, but the sclera, the white of the eye, would not also be black then.
"There are sclera lenses these days that some kids and people with certain medical conditions are using" True. Expensive sclera lenses exist, I have seen pictures of them, but they are shiny, not matte. Not like black holes that absorb all light.

Also, in some of the cases, the eyes are not black the entire time. Sometimes they start off looking normal, only to go into "evil mode" at a certain time.

I have no idea what these things are. I've read all kinds of debates on the subject, heard all sorts of theories, but even with all those parts I still don't have enough to piece it together.

These are some of the many, many encounters with BEK's, as well as some articles debating the subject:

For even more stories, just google "Black eyed kids"

So, since I don't know what these things are, I would advice distance.
Whether you believe or not, don't ever, EVER invite any strange kids in who knock on your door late at night...
