We have long warned, especially in our “Special Reports,” that the strange UFOs, aliens, and creatures increasingly reported in podcasts, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, blogs, ideological websites, email lists, cable television, pay-for-view, and quickie books) are often and for all we know (when legitimate) always—these “cryptids”—of a spiritual rather than extraterrestrial or zoological nature.

Once in a while, it becomes particularly discernible.

Take, for example, this passage from an intriguing new book by a Navajo cop named Stanley Milford.

“She captured something extraordinary,” he writes of one case of a woman who set up a wildlife camera near the San Juan River. “In the nighttime footage, a small Bigfoot, perhaps a juvenile, seems to suddenly appear—as if shooting up from the ground—beside an above-ground swimming pool before running off to the west, in the same direction as the creature that had been on her porch, perhaps running toward the river and the shelter there” (The Paranormal Ranger)

As crazy as that sounds, such folks usually are not the clinical definition of insane. And as our times intensify, with Satan unloosed, the reports (and not just due to the inundation of social media) are profligate.

But deception it often is, at least in the vast majority of cases, for where are the bones? Where is just one piece of irrefragable evidence?

Surely there should be at least one femur, cranium, or clutch of fur.

And what about the fact that the creature in Milford’s case seemed to come from somewhere below (“as if shooting up from the ground”)?

That sounds suspiciously extra-dimensional.

Perhaps one day we’ll be surprised and the government will disclose hard evidence in the case of UFOs. Maybe there’s something near Area 51, Nellis Air Force Base, or Edwards. There certainly can be unknown dimensions in such an unimaginably big universe.

Who are we to say?

God and His creations are huge beyond description. President-elect Donald Trump has even addressed the issue of UFOs, saying he might release information.

But also: who’s to say the universe is quite what astronomers describe it as—that it isn’t more spiritual than physical?

In many alleged near-death experiences, folks find their souls flying past “stars” and “planets” toward a distant light.

One thing is certain: spiritual warfare currently abounds in a way that parallels such phenomena and thus should put us on guard. Such sightings often occur near old gravesites, especially Indian burial mounds (“as if shooting up from the ground”).

But in the seesaw of debate, confounding to those who offer a spiritual explanation is the fact that footprints have been documented in certain cases, including a hotspot in Scotland where, according to the Mirror, an English tabloid, a creature that “was white-grey in color with a large head and dark eyes with a long, slender neck, very slim shoulders, and waist. There were either ribs or folds of skin on its body. The arms were like ours, but there were four very long fingers.”

Back to the Navajo Nation (which spans parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado):

One man near the San Juan River reported an incident in which, when he looked up, “there was a massive creature standing over him. It was taller than a man, perhaps seven or eight feet tall, with broad, muscular shoulders. It was covered all over in dark hair and had canine-like teeth. It smelled like a wet dog.”

Moreover, near the river also “were clear foot impressions in the muddy soil of the nearby riverbed, fourteen to eighteen inches in length and five inches wide, with clearly defined toes. Whatever had made the tracks had a five-foot stride, which meant absolutely massive. For reference, the average human’s stride is only two and a half feet, and a very tall man might have a stride a bit over three feet.

“Whatever had left the tracks apparently walked through the stinging bullheads like they were mere grass, leaving no trace of blood or injury behind,” says Milford, whom we once interviewed for a “Special Report.”

Adds the ranger: “Did this mean Bigfoot was not a singular creature—one unique cryptid, as the urban legends seem to suggest—but, in fact, a species of paranormal being, with several individuals running amok in the area?”

That’s our guess.
