'Stickman-Like' Humanoid Observed in English Secret Garden

A property maintenance worker stumbles across an abandoned 'secret garden' hidden behind a cottage in south east England. He is soon surprised by stickman-like humanoid.

I came across this strange account recently:

"This occurred in April 2019, warm and clear midday. The locations was a walled garden, empty 1940s (rough guess) converted cottages in South East England about an hour out of London. I was working in property maintenance, but did garden design for friends and family (now do it full time). A family friend was paying me in kind to redesign the garden of a property they'd recently renovated. I made the job into a mini break.

Basically, it was a secret garden within a bigger walled garden. Completely overgrown, Wisteria and ivy covered every wall with the mature shrubs encroaching onto the paths and gravel. Tall mature trees cast the whole property in shade.

I was using a hoe to clear back some of the shrubs and ivy so I could define the paths which converged on a vista at the back of the garden which looked out onto fields and a wooded hill.

I'd missed it the first time, but as I walked back I noticed a little secret garden behind a big wooden door. The only reason I clocked it was that there was a sound of what I'd assumed were bees or wasps. It took a grand push but the door eventually gave way. I had to duck to get in. First thing I get hit with a smell like rotten mushrooms plus a shower of brick dust and dried vegetable matter fell on me as I passed through the threshold. The little private garden was about 12ft by 20ft, walled in red brick with a yew or box hedge at the back.

First thing I see is directly in front of me a load of pots of varying sizes filled with dead shrubs and various weeds, ivy and such. I'd expected to see a beehive or something so I was looking left and right and that's when I saw this thing. There was a big old beech tree with a stone bench in front and on it was what looked like a big swathe of ivy, saplings or canes in an upright mass bundle.

At this point I realise whatever are nesting on this bundle aren't bees, I don't know what they were but they looked more like beetles. And so the more I'm concentrating the more I can see this thing is a humanoid, legs, arms and something like a head but no face and the proportions weren't human. If I had to guess a height maybe 6 ft. 5 or 10 seconds later the stickman starts moving, gets up just like a person and in what must have been 2 or 3 seconds it pushed off away from me in the direction of the hedge.

I can't truly convey just how terrified I was in that moment when the penny dropped and I registered what I was looking at. Instinct just took over at that point and I don't recall a huge amount just that my heart jumped into my mouth and I nearly threw up.

So I'm waving my hand out back behind me to the doorway and as soon as I felt the brickwork in one motion I ducked out into the main garden and hurried back to the house.

It took me 20 minutes or so to compose myself during which time I'd typed out a few text messages about what happened, which I didn't send while looking out at the garden from the conservatory. I was going over what it could have been, trying to calm down, rationalise. Later I tentatively returned having convinced myself it was nothing.

I cant quite recall what I'd rationalised it as at the time but I had an idea it had been a deer or some animal which had made a den there. But I knew this wasn't the case and checking the garden confirmed this. The hedge at the back was solid, I used a hoe to try and find a hole to no avail. The mass that made up the humanoid was gone completely, no vines or twig pile left. The insect swarm that I saw covering the thing had dispersed.

Up until very recently I'd forced myself to accept it was just the way the light fell on the tree, that maybe there had been a deer and it'd squeezed through the hedge but as I say above having recently gotten into cryptozoology by chance, the facade I created has started cracking, having wrote this I'm still not sure what I saw."

Bizarre Encounter Spooks New Jersey Couple

A couple in suburban New Jersey were out late at night with their puppy, when there was a sudden flash of light. Then they both experienced extreme confusion and terror.

This was recently posted on social media. I have sent a request to the witness for further information:

"I live in a townhouse in a super safe area (Burlington County, New Jersey). My yard is woods but we’re surrounded by main roads. I’ve lived there 3 years, my boyfriend moved in 8 months ago. I’m a very laid back person. Love horror, I lived alone and would sleep at night in the pitch dark with my back door open listening to true crime podcasts. I’ve NEVER believed in ghosts. (My boyfriend quickly nixed that) I’ve never been scared person. My boyfriend and I got a puppy about a month ago. Dealing with potty training, we were outside in pitch darkness with just a flash light every night. My yard is not fenced and all concrete so we’d go beyond my yard line into an open patch of grass about 15 feet from the woods. We’d be able to see the lights of the condos. But these woods are so dark, it’s like light disappears.

We were out one night around 3 am (puppy had to go) and I suddenly had a horrible feeling, like absolute dread. A second later I get chills and feel panicked and hear foot steps. I told my boyfriend let’s go inside. He asked why and I said just go. We went in, I sort of got over it. Fast forward to the next night, I almost forgot about what happened. It’s around 9:45/10 pm. My boyfriend and I are focused on the puppy with a flashlight making sure he goes when again I get that feeling. It’s like I turned into a deer because suddenly the woods got darker, the air got quieter and I just heard these footsteps. I turn to my boyfriend and say go inside now, just as I finished saying it my puppy starts screaming bloody murder and howling (he’s a Cane Corso puppy, so he’s not tough yet). We panic. My boyfriend swoops down to pick up the puppy and a bright light, literally blinding is shinning our face. We don’t see a person or anything. My boyfriend starts pushing me toward the house, we’re screaming at the top of our lungs. My dog pooped all over my boyfriend. We ran to the house for what felt like 10 minutes but in reality we were only about ten feet from our back door. As we got in I turn around and see no one, nothing. No one running away, no flashlights.

My boyfriend is an MMA fighter and he felt so stupid for not hanging back but he was so worried about getting the dog and I into the house he wasn’t thinking about anything else. This shook us. I was having panic attacks. We called the police. My boyfriend was shaking. The puppy to this day hates going out at night. We went out there the next day and saw two really big deep & far apart footsteps. Like someone had a super inhuman stride. The foot prints looked like they were heel first. The police noticed them as well but there was only 2.

Here’s the thing, we don’t think it was a person. We didn’t see a flashlight walking over. If it was someone walking a dog, a dog would of responded to the screaming my dog was making. My puppy is great with other animals, he has no fear of anything (besides the dark). We racked our brain over and over. We don’t have any enemies, we’re both pretty much introverts. It wasn’t a random psycho murderer because they had prime opportunity to hurt us and didn’t. The cops didn’t see any signs of someone staying in the woods. We checked as well.

Crazy thing is we’re in a townhouse. The houses around us, all confirmed they didn’t hear us screaming. Our one neighbor who doesn’t face us said he was looking out his window at 10 pm, he didn’t see us. We were so confused.

I have a Celtic deity I pray to. My house is very much a fortress to me. I love nature and my house is basically covered wall to wall with things that makes me feel good and safe (If you’re familiar with paganism you’ll know). When I was telling my friend, who is very into things that I don’t even know the word for about, what happened, his face went pale and he told me it sounded like we went into another dimension. The fact our neighbors didn’t see or hear us, the fact that our running felt so much longer than it was. He thinks because of the way I am in my home, whatever it was couldn’t follow us. Once we got in, the energy in my home wouldn’t allow it in.

My boyfriend, after a few days of setting up cameras and security measures, finally told me he didn’t think it was human. He said he felt like he was somewhere else, that when he started running even though we were so close to home, he had tunnel vision and the house seemed so far. Of course this could just be fear and adrenaline but I’ve never in my life have felt a fear like this. I’ve been in situations where my life has flashed before my eyes and nothing even comes close to the terror and dread I felt in my stomach. I’ve been having panic attacks for the last month without any fear except for the fear of having that feeling I felt again." F

NOTE: The area is very near Wharton State Forest, which has had several reports of weird activity over the years. That includes Bigfoot and other cryptid activity. Lon

The Coney Island 'Merman' Sightings

I found the following account in 'Broadbrim's New York Letter' printed in The Carbon Advocate (Lehightown, PA) for Saturday, December 12, 1885:

Our sister city, Brooklyn, is greatly exercised about a wild man of the sea, which, if the story is to be believed, would show that the mermen of the sea are not all dead. For ten days past a man has been seen on Coney Island beach, disporting himself in the briny waves as if they were his native element. The hair on his head reaches to his waist, and the yellow hair on his body is as long as a horse's mane. Many people have seen him at night walking along the sand, but as soon as he was approached he dashed into the breakers, and no one has seen him come out. But that he does come out is evident, for he has been seen by many, men and women. Towards night men go armed with hatchets and clubs for fear the wild man might grab them up and carry them into the sea. Women and children keep close indoors, and a reign of terror of this submarine hairy man has shaken New York's favorite watering place from turret to foundation stone. People are afraid to shoot him for fear they might possibly be indicted for killing a harmless lunatic. Hundreds are watching for the wild man of the sea, and I should not be surprised when he is caught to find that it was another ingenious device of that aquatic blatherskite, Captain Paul Boyton, to advertise his life-saving suit. If it is not Boyton it is the ----.

There were a number of bizarre sightings of many unexplained anomalies on Coney Island in the latter part of the 19th century. Here is some information about the aforementioned Captain Paul Boyton: 

The word 'blatherskite' means 'a person who talks at great length without making much sense' 'foolish talk; nonsense'. The description was used in reference to Captain Paul Boyton, known as the Fearless Frogman, who was a showman and adventurer who some credit as having spurred worldwide interest in water sports as a hobby, particularly open-water swimming. Boyton is best known for his water stunts that captivated the world, including crossing the English Channel in a novel rubber suit that functioned similarly to a kayak.

Just prior to the publishing of story, Boyton was involved in the fatal leap from Brooklyn Bridge of Robert Emmet Odlum, brother of women's rights activist Charlotte Odlum Smith. Catherine Odlum, mother of Robert and Charlotte, blamed Boyton for her son's death. Boyton wrote Mrs. Odlum a letter disclaiming responsibility, which he also published in The New York Times and other periodicals. Mrs. Odlum subsequently traveled to New York City to see Boyton. According to her account, Boyton sent two men to see her who claimed to be a lawyer and a judge, and who warned her not to say anything against Boyton to avoid prosecution for slander. Catherine Odlum claimed in the biography she wrote of her son that Boyton hid or destroyed letters and telegrams from himself to Robert Odlum urging him to travel to New York and make the Brooklyn Bridge jump.

The Washington Professor of Swimming, Robert Emmett Odlum, the Washington Professor of Swimming who was killed in his jump from the Brooklyn Bridge, New York, the 19th inst., has been suitably buried here. The death of this daring man and peerless swimmer has caused much regret among Washingtonians who merely knew the hero by sight reputation. A man of undoubted courage, frank, honest, generous, and enthusiast in the art he so devotedly pursued. Odium had many admirers, and few real friends. He had lost occupation by the burning of the National Theatre last February, and had doubtless suffered for want of the necessities of life, although he had saved a dozen lives. Embarrassed, desirous of fame only for money's sake he was driven to attempt a feat that, under more favorable circumstances, he might have postponed forever. - Western Sentinel (Winston, NC) - May 28, 1995

After the incident, Boyton left New York City and formed an aquatic circus, touring as the main act in Barnum's circus during 1887. He settled in Chicago in 1888 and noted the success of the attractions Midway at Chicago's Columbian Exposition of 1892. Building on this, in 1894, he opened the first "permanent" amusement park (Paul Boyton's Water Chutes) in Chicago, which was also the first park of any type to charge an admission. Strangely enough, he bought 16 acres of land and opened the Sea Lion Park on Coney Island in 1895, fenced the property and charged admission. It would later become Coney Island Amusement Park. You can find his story at Paul Boyton: Sideshow World

Riley’s mentor, Dr. Meade Layne

Dr. Meade Layne (8 September 1882-12 May 1961), was the founder and first president of the Borderland Sciences Research Associates, from 1945-1959.  Born in Viroqua, Wisconsin, he grew up in San Diego, California.  Layne led a very eclectic life, to be sure.  Besides being a pioneer researcher of parapsychology and ufology, he sold office supplies, worked as a real estate agent, managed an oil and gas company and even wrote poetry.  Having a doctorate in English literature, Layne was also employed as a professor of such at the University of Southern California and later served as head of the English Department at Illinois Wesleyan University and Florida Southern College.  Among the emerging ufology community of the late 1940s, Layne was well-known for being among the first to propose an early version of the interdimensional hypothesis to explain sightings of flying saucers.  All along the way, he was assisted in his research by Riley H. Crabb, who assumed the presidency of the Borderland Sciences Research Associates in 1959 and continued with it until 1985, whence he retired and settled down with a new wife in New Zealand.

Realms of Etheria

Both Layne and Crabb were convinced that while some of the flying saucers did, indeed, represent either some type of advanced military or extraterrestrial technology, there was a substantial number of cases where an overlap with other types of paraphysical phenomena were noted.  For these cases, the leadership of the Borderland Sciences Research Associates speculated that the flying saucers involved were piloted by beings from a parallel dimension, which Layne and Crabb referred to as “Etheria.”  The vehicles they employed to reach our dimensional plane were not so much spaceships as “ether ships;” and these remained largely invisible unless the vibrational rate of their atomic structure was slowed down sufficiently for their craft to be seen by ourselves, the inhabitants of the terrestrial, or physical plane of existence.  At various lectures presented on the flying saucer enigma, Layne and Crabb informed their audiences that some Etherians were actually, but temporarily, living and working among us, having been trapped on our world following the malfunction or crashing of their ether ships while conducting reconnaissance in the vicinity of atomic and nuclear experimentation and testing sites.  Layne and Crabb were of the opinion that these Etherians and their ether ships were responsible for inspiring much of our world’s mythology and religion.  But these Etherians, in their estimation, were not gods or even angels, in the Biblical sense of these terms, but rather mortal beings with an extremely high level of technological and spiritual advancement, at least in comparison to our own cosmic evolution.  These beings possessed longevity extending over thousands of years, as time is measured on Earth.  Through select individuals with developed psychic abilities on our planet, the Etherians have, on occasion, revealed some of their accumulated wisdom to humankind.  In the Round Robin newsletter of the Borderland Sciences Research Associates, originally published out their headquarters in San Diego, California, but now moved to Eureka, California, members of the organization would share the content of such revelations they had personally received from sundry Etherians coming from the invisible realms parallel to our own reality.

 

Meade Layne at the Borderlands Sciences Research Associates hired the premier psychic of his era, Mark Probert, to channel various entities from the Etheric realms following the appearance of a vast mothership that passed over San Diego, California, on 9 October 1946.

Overcoming Barriers to Understanding

In Crabb’s Flying Saucers Uncensored, the paranormal researcher takes us back to 1 July 1955, when one of the Borderland Sciences Research Associates revealed an interesting dialog that he conducted with a so-called “Visitor” from the Etheric Realms.  He claimed that this visitor was not from another planet in outer space, but from the cavern world of Agartha in the interior of the Earth.  Concerning this interview, Crabb wrote, “If you think you are an intelligent person, fully capable of communicating with a visitor from another world, try this on for size.” In all probability, the Borderland Sciences channeler of this entity was none other than the premier psychic of the late 1940s and early 1950s, Mark Probert.   What follows is an abbreviated transcript of the actual conversation that took place between the channeler of the Borderland Sciences group and a denizen of Agartha:  

Human:  Can you tell us anything about the flying discs and similar objects?

Entity:  Yes, if it is lawful to tell and you are able to understand.  

Human:  Meade Layne says they are Etherians.  Some say they are from other planets or from our Earth.  Which is right?

Entity:  All of them.  There are many different objects which some people can see at times.  They come from other planets, from other planes of life, and some from places on this planet, places unknown to you.  

Human:  Then there are Etherians?

Entity:  Yes.

Human:  Are they human beings?

Entity:  Is steam water?  Is a mixture of gases water?

Human:  Well, not exactly.

Entity:  Yet steam can be produced from water, or converted into water.

Human:  I see.

Entity:  Somehow, I doubt it.

Human:  Can you communicate with Etherians at will?

Entity:  Yes, if we have reasons for doing so.  We do not waste time communicating, merely for amusement or to satisfy idle curiosity.  

Human:  How is this done?

Entity:  Exactly the same as I am now communicating with you.  It is a matter of converting or translating vibrational frequencies to establish rapport between two intelligences.  It is not necessary that these intelligences be embodied in corporeal flesh.  In fact, flesh is often a hindrance.  The real being of any entity is not what you see.  It clothes itself with the physical body just as the body does with physical garments.

Human:  Are their intentions friendly?

Entity:  That depends on your thoughts toward them.  As ye sow, so shall ye reap!  No person of good will need fear them.  No member of any truly great race will deliberately kill.  They do watch and they do try to prevent evil.  If you only realized that you are brother to every intelligent being in the universe.  There may be, at times, erring brothers and sisters; but they are still brothers and sisters.  

Human:  Do flying saucers or discs from other planets come here in what we would call normal flight?  Or is there a materialization and dematerialization as some have claimed?

Entity:  That depends on where they come from.  Those from nearby points come by what you would call normal flight.  Those from distant places are teleported here.  They are converted into pure energy at the place of origin and materialized back to their original form here.  Some humans have seen them during this process.

Etherians as trans-dimensional light beings.

From Keller Venus Files:  Photo at top depicts transmogrification of the Venusian “Marla,” a.k.a. Connie Menger, Howard Menger’s second wife.  Photo at bottom depicts transmogrification of Howard Menger himself into his true identity as “Sol du Naro,” an avatar sent to Earth from the Saturnian system.  Both photos were taken by Cedric Jensen, a member of the High Bridge, New Jersey Flying Saucer Club, on Howard Menger’s farm in that city.  The second photo was taken at a meeting of the club with a Polaroid camera in a darkened room as Howard literally lit up in a darkened basement in front of 40 people in attendance.  For more information about the Mengers, please read Dr. Raymond Keller’s Venus Rising:  A Concise History of the Second Planet (Terra Alta, WV:  Headline Books, 2015), available on amazon.com while supplies last. 

Human:  Could you explain that a little more?

Entity:  I’ll explain it; but you won’t understand.  The first thing to be done is to isolate a cube of space.  This cube may be anything from inches to miles.  The effect is produced by the play of the mental force on etheric matter and consists in establishing a null or neutral zone of free space energies.  The boundaries of this cube are therefore shaped as may be desired.  Into this space area are then brought whatever mechanisms and instruments may be useful, in the region where the Guardians (Etherians who patrol interdimensional realms) desire the ship to operate.  

Human:  Is this done only by mind power?

Entity:  By both mental and mechanical means.  The next step is to “posit” the ship in space.  This is done by converting the energy rates.  A change of rates is equivalent to a change of location.

Human:  Then when they get here, why don’t the pilots of the saucers land and get acquainted with the people of this planet?

Entity:  Would you?

Human:  But there must be some among us worthy of contact?

Entity:  What leads you to believe such contacts have not been made?

Human:  I, uh, I just couldn’t believe it, at least those that I have read about.  Could you tell us how they go?  They don’t seem to have engines like our planes or our rockets.

Entity:  Your engineers and scientists would not recognize it if they saw it.  It is out of the range of their thinking at present.  The discs are powered with pure energy flows which permeate all space and all planets.  You know something about the results of these flows- electricity, light, heat, gravitation and so on.  But you know nothing about the source of these, the primary flows of energy in their pure form.  I cannot explain it to you.

Human:  Why not?

Entity:  Could you explain algebra or calculus to a three-year-old?

The Agarthan made an excellent point here.  It would be impossible to explain any form of higher mathematics to a three-year-old, unless, perchance, that youngster was a mathematical genius who carried that ability over from a prior incarnation.  But this is precisely what the leaders Layne, Crabb and others in the Borderland Sciences Research Associates had been trying to do since the organization was established in San Diego, California, in 1946.  To understand the circumstances surrounding the foundation of Borderland Sciences and the flying saucer flap that ensued with the appearance of a vast mothership over San Diego in that fateful year, please check out pages 158-206 of my first book in the current series, Venus Rising:  A Concise History of the Second Planet (Terra Alta, West Virginia:  Headline Books, 2015).  The close ties between Meade Layne and others in Borderland Sciences with the most prominent contactee of the age of flying saucers, George Adamski, are also explored in that particular Venus Rising book.  

In some of the Venus conferences, I have shared panels with others that have established contact with our Venusian friends in the Etheric realms, Omnec Onec of the United States and the Bolivian seer Luis Fernando Mostajo Maertens.  While Riley Crabb is no longer physically with us, I feel privileged to be working closely with our dear Sister Omnec and Brother Luis in transmitting the higher dimensional message of hope from the Etheric realm of Venus to all the readers of my articles and books, thereby playing some small part in helping to overcome the barriers to understanding that have hitherto been impeding a direly needed understanding of those entities inhabiting the higher dimensional yet invisible planes of existence that completely surround and bless us on a daily basis.  

When I think about the Guardians sent from the inner world Agartha and even other planets like Venus existing at high vibrations that have come to Earth in the capacity of avatars to assist us in our cosmic evolution, the words of wise King David of Israel in Psalm 91:11 (King James Version) immediately come to mind: “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”


Stan Gordon: Numerous UFO Sightings Reported in Pittsburgh Area and Across Pennsylvania

Numerous UFO Sightings Are Being Reported in the Pittsburgh Area and From Across Pennsylvania. March 29, 2021

From Researcher: Stan Gordon:

There has been a surge of UFO sightings reported from the greater Pittsburgh area as well as from other locations in the state in recent weeks. I have been receiving an increase in direct reports of strange aerial objects being observed in the sky in recent weeks. UFO incidents have also been reported to other sources as well. This wave of UFO reports seems to have started during late February and is continuing to be active in recent days.

*In early March, three white circular lights in a triangular configuration were reported from Cambria county. The objects were observed for a few minutes then suddenly vanished.

*There have also been reports of triangular shaped objects from other locations.

*A daylight observation of  a large black rectangular object was reported from Bedford county.

*Reports of large glowing spherical objects, some seen at low level and close to homes.

*Bright objects moving straight up into the night sky and disappearing.

*Sightings of small spheres of light that are close to the ground are continuing to be reported.

*Residents from different locations are reporting that unusual luminous objects are being recorded on their game and security cameras.

*Dan Hageman of the BORU (Butler Organization for Research of the Unexplained)  http://www.boru-ufo.com/ reports that there have been multiple reports of fireballs and spheres all over Butler county during March.

The following are some of the cases Dan is investigating:

March 2- A witness reported seeing three shiny silver spheres moving from west to east in a straight line. They looked shiny, silver in color, and glowing. They looked equally spaced apart and were moving very fast. The witness watched them as they moved off in the distance.

March 8- A witness observed a shiny bright cigar-shaped object in the morning sky. The sky was generally clear with some fluffy clouds around. The object did not appear to have any wings or a tail section. The witness indicated that the object was so bright he had to squint his eyes to view it. The witness, who was very familiar with aircraft, stopped his vehicle and got out to take a better look at the object. The object moved into a cloud better never exited from it.

March 11- A man was in his kitchen during the evening when he began to feel a strange vibration and heard a low rumble. He then realized that the sliding glass door to his deck was vibrating. As he looked out the door, the man noticed a very bright and very large pulsating round object just above the trees at the edge of his yard. The light from the object illuminated his backyard as though it was in the middle of the day. He stepped out on the deck and was awe struck by what he saw. At that time, he felt a tingling sensation, his hair stood up on end, and he had chill bumps on his body. He called to his wife and he hurried inside to get a camera but when he returned it was gone.

March 18- A person driving on Route 8 near Butler observed yellow-white blinking lights just above some trees. The lights were on the bottom of each corner of a large silver triangular object that appeared to be hovering. The object began to move up above the trees. The witness was going to pull over and take a picture, but the object had disappeared.

I also received a UFO report that occurred on March 18th during the evening from another location in Butler county. The witness was traveling down the road when he saw in the distance a large round orange sphere. The object was gliding off to the left through the sky. It was about 200 feet off the ground and would alternate in brightness and change from orange to a white color.

In recent days, witnesses in a wooded area of Fayette county observed a brilliant orange luminous object in the treetops that moved up and down and suddenly vanished. Soon after, unusual sounds were heard from the woods.

Other strange incidents have also been reported since January from various locations in the state.

If you have seen or heard anything unusual in Pennsylvania, please contact me at 724-838-7768 or email: paufo@comcast.net. I am also interested in reports from other states and areas as well.

Kyle Philson is a native Texan. Growing up in rural Texas in a small town outside of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, Kyle spent a lot of time in the woods hunting, fishing and camping. His early interest in the paranormal was first sparked by his father and uncles. Watching shows like Unsolved Mysteries and In Search Of along with reading numerous books by John Keel and Ivan T. Sanderson, Kyle became fascinated by UFOs, Bigfoot, time slips and parallel universes. Keeping an open mind and exploring these topics, he strives to present theses stories and experiences shared by only a few in a fun and light hearted way. Kyle currently lives in Texas with his wife and three sons.

Cam Hale was born and raised in Texas and comes from a long family heritage of Texans that can be traced back to before the Lone Star State gained it’s independence. Growing up in a rural country town he spent the majority of his time outdoors. Receiving his first taste of archery at the age of 5, he started down a path that lead him on solo camping and hunting trips across the state as well as many other states. Like most his fascination with the strange and unusual started young with shows like In Search Of and Unsolved Mysteries. Diving deeper into these subjects at his the local library, only fueled the flames that have led him to where he is today. With an open mind and adventurers heart, Cam looks to present the stories of the strange in a fun and intriguing manner.
