Phantoms and Monsters: Pulse of the Paranormal

Possible Bi-Pedal Canine - Georgia 1941 Posted: 27 Jun 2015 05:09 PM PDT I received the following account earlier today: Hi Lon - enjoy reading your newsletter and thought I would send a story my Grandfather John told me. In 1940 he volunteered for active duty and was later shipped off to Camp Stewart, Georgia. He had graduated high school (in New York City) the year before and thought that the US would be fighting in the war eventually, so he signed up before he was drafted. At the time, he was part of an anti-aircraft training unit that was housed in large tents. Camp Stewart (now Fort Stewart) was a fairly new facility and much of it was under construction. Most of the tents were in or near an area that was densely forested. I don't know how many guys were in the tent with him, but he was friends with another guy from NYC named Pete. They hadn't been there long when stories about weird creatures in the woods started to circulate among the soldiers. One of the rumors was that a few soldiers had been attacked by an unknown beast within the camp. There wasn't a lot said and no one (he believes) ever witnessed the attacks. One early morning, Grandpa John and Pete along with other soldiers were transporting garbage to an area north of the camp. He said that there was a large ditch where all the refuse was dumped. It was hauled in large barrels which were emptied one by one. He was in the lead truck as they pulled up to the dump area. They noticed a very large dog on the back edge of the ditch which looked to be digging in the trash. They were commenting that the dog may have been a wolf because it was huge. While they were talking among themselves, the dog stood up on it's two back legs and looked directly at them. After a few seconds, it turned and dropped to four legs, then ran into the woods. They were alarmed and considered leaving, but there were armed personnel on patrol. They then wondered why armed soldiers needed to guard a garbage dump. They quickly got their work done because they wanted to leave as soon as possible. Grandpa John said that he later had a conversation with one of the guys who had spent time guarding the garbage dump. According to him, the higher-ups were aware of the large dogs, which he believed to be wolves. He said that there were other similar beasts in the area and that they were ordered to shoot to kill if they had the opportunity. He admitted that he witnessed one of these wolves stand up on two legs and walk, though he didn't say why he failed to shoot at it. Grandpa John was later injured during training, but after two years he was cleared for assignment and served in the US Army in Europe. He said that over the years he had talked to other vets who had trained at Fort Stewart. A few of them were aware of the attacks and that it probably occurred on more than one occasion. I have read about the Dogman sightings on your website. I wonder if the Fort Stewart beasts may have been the same type of creatures? I'd be interested if others had ever heard of these attacks. Thank you - Jack NOTE: After reading this account, I'm curious to find out if there had been other incidents. Please forward any information you may have. Ft. Stewart is located in Liberty and Bryan counties, near Hinesville, GA. about 40 miles southwest of Savannah.

Daily 2 Cents: Venomous Tarantulas Invade Aussie Town -- UFO and Lost Time -- Why So Many Sharks? Posted: 27 Jun 2015 01:00 PM PDT Venomous Tarantulas Invade Town, Newly Discovered Spiders Baffle Researchers Scientists have been left perplexed after hordes of large spiders descended on the town of Maningrida. Australia is not the best place for arachnophobes at the best of times but for those living in Maningrida this week the problem posed by big spiders has reached a record-breaking high. In a scene reminiscent of a horror movie, thousands of tarantulas belonging to a newly discovered species have descended on the town prompting significant concerns among the local populace. The spiders, which have been nicknamed 'diving spiders' due to their ability to go underwater inside a bubble of air, typically create tunnel-like webs in which they lie in wait to ambush their prey. While not fatal, a single bite from one of the spiders can make someone seriously ill. Arachnologists such as Dr. Robert Raven have been investigating the invasion in an attempt to work out why so many of the creatures had congregated within such a small area. One possibility is that there is a particularly attractive food source for the spiders in the town. It is also possible that a natural predator of the spiders is missing from the area. "It's one of the beauties of science, being able to say ‘I don't know,'" said Dr. Raven. -  ********** UFO and Lost Time This happened in 1963 in Sawyer, Michigan. I was a teenager and fishing on a little lake dug out for fill for I-94. It was roughly 9:30 PM when two little boys ( brothers of a friend ) yelled out and asked if I would take them for a ride in my boat. I rowed in and picked them up. We rowed around the lake and it was just about dark when I saw two people standing at the edge of the water on the I-94 side of the lake. I rowed over to them thinking they were two other friends who always fished the lake. I rowed up to them, maybe 15 feet away and started calling their names, no reply. It was dark and I couldn't make them out except in silhouette. I was about to row closer when the kids in the back started screaming and crying. I turned to them and they pointed to my left and I saw this object floating maybe 2 feet off the water maybe 100 feet away. The object was oval with a flattened bottom and maybe 10-20 feet wide. It's color was an opalescent white that did not reflect on the water. It didn't make a sound or disturb the surface of the water and seemed to slowing be coming toward us. When I realized something was very wrong I turned the boat around and headed for the opposite shore where we kept the boat. We were all scared to death and ran for the kids house as soon as we hit shore. I did not bother to look at the object again, I was scared and rowing my heart out. When we came into their house their mother and father started yelling at the three of us asking " Where the Hell were you ". I replied I took the boys for a boat ride and tried to explain what happened. They father cut me off saying "Bullshit" they had combed the area by the lake and walked around it calling for the boys for the last hour and found nothing. I told that couldn't be as it just turned dark 20 minutes ago and we didn't see you or hear you. He pointed at the clock and it was 11:15 PM, I thought it was maybe 10. There is more to this but it's hard to explain here. This has bothered me since that day and simply had to get it off my chest.

The Florida Program for Shark Research confirmed the unprovoked attack, and says this is the fifth shark attack off of North Carolina shores this year. No details were immediately available on the condition of the man who was attacked, although authorities say the man was bitten multiple times. WVEC-TV in Norfolk, Virginia reports the man was being transported to a hospital there. Johnny Supon (@jsupan98) says he caught video of the attack. He says the shark's fin can be seen sticking up out of the water, while the man who was bitten is laying on the beach. Red flags were raised at Avon alerting beachgoers of a shark attack. A shark attack expert says bigger sharks could be patrolling closer to North Carolina shores because of the influx of sea turtles during the 2015 nesting season. The Star-News reports George Burgess, director of the Florida program for Shark Research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, says sharks are attracted to sea turtles as food and more sea turtles could mean more and larger sharks closer to shore. Burgess says sharks like bull sharks and tiger sharks could be attracted closer to the surf as food sources, like sea turtles, move on and off the shore for nesting between April and September. - Fifth Shark Attack off NC Coast Friday ********** Arcane Radio returns LIVE!

The man, identified by The Telegraph only as "Mr. Xiang," said he heard a crash when a truck in the opposite lane lost control, dislodging its cargo of several poorly secured circular saw blades that were 5 feet in diameter. One of those blades rolled onto the highway past a bush on the median, picking up speed as it barreled toward Xiang's truck. "I just heard a 'bang' and then I saw all the white smoke in front of me," Xiang recalled to The Shanghaiist after the June 17 incident. "I almost lost control of my car." The runaway blade diced about 20 inches through the hood of Xiang's truck and lodged itself in the engine, perilously close to the driver's seat. Police told the South China Morning Post the other driver didn't realize the saw blade had been dislodged and caused an accident. Thankfully, Xiang was unhurt in the accident, albeit quite shaken. - Runaway Saw Blade Rolls Down Highway, Slices Truck, Narrowly Misses Driver ********** TODAY'S TOP LINKS Australia’s Unknown Ape-Men Birth Month Influences Diseases You’re at Most Risk For, Research Study Finds DARPA hopes to terraform Mars with human-engineered organisms The big question is, where did Fukushima’s melted fuel go?
