Welcome to Ghostsamongus.net |

Welcome to Ghostsamongus!!
We are a small team of believers in the paranormal who would like to share our findings with you; and who welcome your views and input. Our main goal in setting up this site is to be able to analyze ghost cam captures in depth, and to be able to find irrefutable evidence of the paranormal. At the moment, we are hosting fourteen ghost cams, ten located on Isle of Wight Ghosthunterz, two from Ordsall Hall , a ghost cam located on a haunted farm in Denmark and the BBC Ghost Cam at Llancaiach Frawr Manor. Whether you are a believer or not, we value your opinion. All we ask is that you enter with an open mind. But remember... an open mind works both ways! As intelligent beings, it is just as important not to jump to the 'ghost' conclusion, as it is to be open to the unexplainable. Bearing that in mind, it is our wish that we can gently and steadily move further towards knowledge, understanding and the truth.
This site is dedicated to all our ancestors and friends past. We hope you can gently guide us in the direction of wisdom.

Cryptozoology: Hidden Animals? |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
 When looking for the term cryptozoology in a dictionary, you come across this general definition: the study or search of animals that are unknown or undiscovered. These animals can be living animals thought to be extinct or other animals that are known to people through legends, myths or undocumented reports. The purpose of this article is to briefly introduce the animals, legendary, mythical or extinct, that seem to be getting attention in the media lately.
Loch Ness Monster (AKA Nessie): This famous Scottish lake creature has been around for a long time and sighted frequently over the years. The general description in reports is of a long-necked aquatic animal with flippers. General sightings also report humps in the lake. There have been many photographs taken over the years, but sadly, almost all of them have been proven to be hoaxes. As this animal has also been sighted on land, briefly and occasionally, some tracks have been discovered on muddy beaches or roads. However, since a series of these tracks were proven to be a hoax, people stopped relying on them as evidence. Possible explanations for the eyewitness reports have been waves, wakes of passing boats, logs floating on the lake waters, schools of fish swimming near the surface as well as an occasional deer swimming to one of the islands or the mainland.

Of course, Nessie is not the only one of its kind to have been sighted in lakes. Other lake creatures similar to Nessie have been reported all over the world. Lake Champlain, in the United States, for example, has reported sightings of a long-necked creature over the years, affectionally called Champ. The difference is that Champ has been photographed once by Sandra Mansi in 1977, which caused a stir as it is one of the clearest photographs to date. Champ has been also filmed by two fishermen and featured on ABC news. Click the link below to watch the video.

Other reports of lake monsters similar to Nessie include Ogopogo (Canada), Bessie (USA), Cressie (Newfoundland), Memphre (Canada), Lake Tianchi Monster (China), Selma (Norway), Manipogo (Canada), Storsie (Sweden), Morag (Scotland), Nahuelito (Argentina) and many others.
Bigfoot, Yeti, and other hairy bipeds: Bigfoot or Sasquatch is a large hairy hominoid said to exist in parts of the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Wisconsin, and British Colombia (Canada) but there have been reports of this creature from other States as well as from other countries. Known as Yeti in Tibet and Nepal, Yowie in Australia and Yeren in China, this hairy, ape-like creature is said to stand between seven to 10 feet tall.

Unfortunately, due to hoaxes fabricated over the years, scientists refuse to take notice of any of the bigfoot sightings. The photograph featured above was taken from the famous Patterson-Gimlin film and Patterson himself swore that it was genuine until the day he died. His partner, Gimlin has stated recently that it was possible that Patterson hoaxed the film but without him knowing it. Scientists and skeptics have argued that this is simply a man in a suit for years, and the video is still debated all over the world today. There have been a countless number of videos and photographs of bigfoot over the years. One simply has to type in ‘bigfoot videos’ in a search engine and this instantly brings up hundreds of entries. However, it must be noted here that the vast majority have been proven to be elaborate fakes.
Chupacabra (or Chupacabras): This is a Spanish name that literally translated means ‘Goat Sucker’. The first known reports of the Chupacabra came from Puerto Rico, where this creature got its name from allegedly attacking and killing livestock (mainly goats) by sucking their blood. The description usually is that of a heavy, short creature, about the size of a large dog or small bear, with a row of spines from the back of the head and neck to the tail. Other reports say it looks like the cross between a large rodent and kangaroo with fangs and claws. The creature is said to hop like a kangaroo and one witness claimed to have seen it jump as far as 20 feet. Its eyes are said to glow red, especially when letting out a screech, which it does when cornered or frightened. And even other people mention having seen bat-like wings under the arms or around its shoulders. A different description of the chupacabra is that it is merely a strange breed of wild dog or a dog-like reptile. Whatever the case, the carcasses of alleged chupacabras have been identified as being stray dogs, foxes or coyotes suffering from mange. Although it was first reputed to be seen in Puerto Rico, sightings have been reported from all over the world, the latest from the Philippines.

The Mothman: So much has been said and written about the Mothman, that to reproduce it here would take entirely too much space so we’ll keep it short for now. The story of the Mothman originates in Point Pleasant and Charleston in West Virginia in the sixties. The creature was said to be tall, with enormous wings and red eyes that seemed to be set in its chest. The sightings seemed to be related to stories of ‘Men in Black’ appearing shortly afterwards in the areas where the creature had been seen. After the collapse of the Silver River Bridge in 1967, the creature was not seen very often and then as mysteriously as he had appeared disappeared one day never to return.

The Jersey Devil: The Jersey Devil is a cryptid that is said to inhabit the Pine Barrens in New Jersey. The legend behind this creature involves a Mrs. Leeds from the 18th century. She had had 12 children and was so tired of being pregnant and giving birth all the time that when she knew she was going to have her 13th child, she cursed it saying she wished it was a devil. The creature born was said to have flown away to live in the Pine Barrens. The description of the Jersey Devil varies but in general people say it has a long neck, a horse-like head and bat-like wings that are enormous. It is also said to walk upright on two hooves. There are actually organizations in New Jersey who document the sightings, and even though it has been sighted many times over the years, it has only been known to attack a dog once and has never attacked a human being. Reports say that it flies away and emits a piercing shriek when confronted. This creature has been sighted even as recently as January, 2008. For more information on the Jersey Devil visit:

The Giant Anaconda: First of all, we must be aware that the anaconda is actually the largest snake in the world, many specimens are larger that the python. However, we are dealing with cryptids, which can be creatures that have yet to be discovered. In this specific case, we are talking about anacondas which can grow to more than 35 feet (11m) up to about 60 (18m) feet long (or longer) for it to fall under the ‘giant anaconda cryptid’ category. People think that the movie ‘Anaconda’ started the whole giant anaconda theory but the truth is that there have been reports and sightings of gigantic anacondas since the discovery of South America in the fifteenth century. Even Percy Fawcett said to have shot an anaconda that measured 62 feet (19m) long in 1906. Recently, an episode of Sci-Fi’s ‘Destination Truth’ featured a quest to capture a Giant Anaconda.

There are many other cryptids that have been reported recently. Some even stranger than others. Stories of the ‘goatman’ or the ‘lizard man’ can be found in recent newspaper articles. The real question here is: are people making this up? We don’t know. However, as paranormal researchers we can do only what we should do in any case: study and learn. For it is through knowledge that we will eventually find the truth.
