Bigfoot Possibly Sighted in Pennsylvania
I have spent many days and nights in search of cryptids in the woods of Pennsylvania and I see no reason why any part of this heavily wooded state could hold a small population of Bigfoot. A hiker along the Allegheny Trail stumbled upon a "fort" in the middle of the woods. He then pulled out his "flip cam" and began shooting video. In part of this shot an image of what appears to be a large creature standing upright is seen. The man reported he, nor his wife, did not see the creature at this time.
Now, the really weird part. This story takes another strange twist as Bigfoot investigator Tom Biscardi has suddenly appeared on the scene. What this station has failed to understand, realize, or report is that Tom Biscardi was right in the middle of the Georgia Bigfoot hoax not so long ago. He and five others are out in the woods searching for proof of this creature and if anyone knows how Tom works this won't be the end of the story, evidence or not.

2009 Mothman Festival Recap
I was fortunate to be able to drive down to Point Pleasant, West Virginia on September 19th for the 8th Annual Mothman Festival. It was very surreal to be able to set foot in the town famous for so many things. The Mothman saga is obviously the big topic of discussion and is the centerpiece of the carnival atmosphere and speakers that decended upon this sleepy river town. There is also the history of the Silver Bridge collapse that is still remembered by many locals that is sometimes blamed on the Mothman and even at times on a man named Cornstalk. This is the third part of the history of Point Pleasant. This area was a hotbed of activity during the American Revolution.
Feel free to check out the blog post full of photos and some interesting things I learned along the way.

New Species of Crustaceans Discovered...in Ohio.
A new species of animal has been discovered in Ohio. While it's not as exciting as finding a grassman it's still exciting to know there are new animals to be discovered even in our own home state. The new find comes in an area of Summit county just a few miles down the road from where I currently reside which is truly exciting to me as someone who is always on the lookout for something undiscovered creeping around Ohio. Granted, my interests do not include small crustaceans although I think the find is an important one for those who have an interest in animals (undiscovered or not).
The new finds have yet to be confirmed as new species, but many feel this is just a minor formality. Once the animal has been identified as new it will then most likely receive a name. For the full story and more images click on the story line above or the links below.
