A lot of what is now considered normal aspects of the observable universe were once considered paranormal.
Cryptids
There were a few cryptid articles in the last month that have made their way to our files. Here are our favorites for the month.
North America’s “Tiny People” Who Were Believed to Have Lived in the Appalachian Mountains (Appalachian Magazine): This article shines a light on the “tiny people” who are mischievous humanoids who live in the cave systems under the Appalachian Mountains. These people are hairy faced, diminutive in size and have a horn on their head. These pygmy-sized creatures are a part of the lore of several indigenous tribes.
Husband Corroborates Wife’s Story of ‘Prehistoric Bird’ in Gary, Indiana with Two Sightings of His Own (Singular Fortean): This investigation recounts a sighting of a huge prehistoric bird with dark, greyish color skin that was seen multiple times in Gary, Indiana, located on the southern tip of Lake Michigan. It appeared that no other drivers recognized this creature that was 20-30 feet off the ground at one time.
‘Bat-Like’ Flying Humanoid with ‘an Obvious Face’ Reported near Indiana’s Prairie Creek Reservoir (Singular Fortean): Muncie, Indiana was also the home for a recent sighting of Mothman. Muncie is located close to Gary, Indiana and also Chicago, Illinois, which had a spate of Mothman sightings recently. Lake Michigan seems to be a hotspot for flying cryptids at the moment and one has to wonder why.
North Carolina Boy, 3, Found After Missing in the Woods for 2 Days. He Says He ‘Hung Out With a Bear’ (TIME Magazine): This story has taken news media by storm. A child, only 3 years old, disappeared after playing outside of his grandmother’s house. A search party was immediately dispatched and a full 1,000 acre perimeter around the house was searched on foot with dog and with a drone. Soon thereafter, it rained and went below freezing. The water was hip deep in places and there were flooded ravines. Yet, this child was found close to home saying that he was protected by a “bear” while he was out in the wild. There are two things here that have been postulated in our paranormal communities, the Missing 411 phenomenon where the child disappeared and reappeared, and that the bear may have been a bigfoot. We simply don’t know, but it is intriguing.
Man Calls Run In With Yowie ‘the worst thing’ That Ever Happened To Him (News.Com.AU): A Yowie is the Australian equivalent of an American Bigfoot. There have been several sightings of Yowie in the last two decades and recently, this truck attack sighting is one of the more astounding ones. A delivery truck driver was in the hinterlands of Queensland when he saw what appeared to be a large rock rolling down a hill and it stopped in the road in front of him. The trucker driver stopped his truck and the rock stood up. To the driver’s surprise, it was a hairy Yowie that stood 3 meters high in front of the truck’s grill. It proceeded to bang on the hood of the truck and the run off.

Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC)
There were a few newsworthy articles about ITC captured our attention in our this feeds month.
The Estes Method: How the Groundbreaking SB7 Spirit Box Experiment is Changing Paranormal Investigation (Week in Weird): The Estes Method, named after Estes Park where the method was invented, has been gaining a lot of traction for ITC practitioners who investigate purportedly haunted locations.

There are some faults with this methodology and we may write an article on this topic later; but for now, this article will acquaint you with what the Estes Method is in case you wish to attempt it yourself.
Breaking News – Updates on the SoulPhone (Greater Reality Living): We have been following the updates on the SoulPhone and it appears that progress is being made rapidly.

Currently the answers are limited to yes/no responses, but more real-time response mechanisms are being worked into the software for future updates.

Everything in Science Is Paranormal Until It Isn’t. Here’s Why We Need To Evolve Our Perception Of The Unknown (HackerNoon): This article was penned by Luis Elizondo.

In this particular article, Elizondo takes a step back from UAP and examines the paranormal as whole.

If science embraced the term paranormal under this definition, then the term paranormal may lose some of its stigma.
