Granted, it does provide a creepy and disturbing image, especially to those who have been eye witness to upright canines throughout the world. <br />

The post that accompanies this photo is as follows :<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><i>"On November 18, 1935, on the third day of deer season, near Flint around Rhody Creek Trail, despite good weather and a great layer of tracking snow, there were absolutely no deer to be seen.What suddenly sounded like horses running, a massive timber wolf ended up being shot rather than a deer that day. Gutted and dragged into town to be weighed and measured; it weighed 182 pounds even after being gutted, measuring seven feet, 11 inches tall hanging vertically, and stood 39 inches at the shoulder.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><i>http://www.flintexpats.com/2009/01/big-bad-wolf.html"</i></span><br />
Mind you, timber wolves can sometimes grow to some pretty impressive sizes, but<br />
take a good look at this wolf's back legs in the photo. <br />
One of the most interesting things I have ever read, and which has stuck in the back of my mind ever since, is a paragraph written by Wang & Tedford in their book on canine evolution, which is one of my favorite books in my vast library of zoology, cryptozoology, and high strangeness.<br />
It reads ...<br />
<i>"Large, wolflike pursuit predators were in particular the direct consequence of the opening up of the landscape"</i><br />
Later, they go on to say...<br />
<i>" These changes were reflected in the terrestrial vertebrate community by an increasing cursoriality ( the ability to run fast and for a long time ) among predators and prey. </i><br />
<i>This greater ability to run is clearly reflected in the fossil history of canids, which shows <u><b>increasingly erect standing postures</b></u></i>(emphasis mine)<i>, progressively lengthened limb bones, and restricted movements of the joints."</i><br />
<br />
Evolution of a species is directly related to environment.<br />
Could the werewolf, Dogman, Mandog, upright canine be a direct result of evolutionary necessity rather than something sinister and supernatural? <br />
It certainly is another card to lay on the table of hypothesis in our research. Canines originated on this continent and expanded into Afro-Eurasia around 5-7 million years ago, and into South America roughly 3 million years ago.<br />
They've certainly had a long time to become not only one of the world's top predators, but to change dramatically according to nature's guidelines.<br />
I hope this post finds everyone well and having a great day!<br />
Til next time.... <br />

Not only caves hold these age-old treasures.<br />
Petroglyphs such as Newspaper rock near Canyonlands National Park in Southeastern Utah and <i>Laxe dos carballos</i> in Campo Lameiro, Galicia remind us that humans were communicating and creating in all realms of nature and in many varied ways as well.<br />

Though many of these ancient artifacts have connotations of deliberate practical use, ie: ritual, hunting, marking the seasonal changes, animal migrations etc., could some have been done just for the fun of it? Did our ancient ancestors indulge in self expression?<br />
Creation just for the sake of creating and expressing yourself is something that is not unfamiliar territory to us. People use art to express feelings of joy, anger, humor, passion, happiness, and a myriad of other emotions and personality traits. Some just let the stroke of pen or brush take them wherever its going to take them and then sit in quiet contemplation of the end result.<br />
<br />
<br />
It has often been hypothesized that our North American Sasquatch make tree and stick structures as a means of some form of communication.<br />
Whether these messages are ones of "Get out! This is my home!", "Hunting is good here" or "Welcome all, come and leave in peace" is anyone's guess. They could be boundary or trail markers, or they could be simply nothing more than the wind and the wood playing tricks on our eyes.<br />
But isn't it fun to wonder if our giant hairy friends love to express themselves with artwork too?<br />
The two pictures below were taken by me on April 13, 2013.<br />
They are of a structure I found nearby when we first bought our home back in 2011. It has stood strong without change since. It is unique in the fact that is symmetrical / double-sided. If it was created by the wind, I should say it is worth a second glance even for that reason alone!<br />
It is detailed and looks as if it were designed with deliberate precision.<br />

The area in which it was found is known for unusual activity including a number of Bigfoot sightings.<br />
Many other structures and possible "nests" have been discovered near to this one and strange animal calls in the night have been heard such as whoops, screams, howls, and what sound like owl calls but with "something different about them".<br />
Several residents in the area have been witness to these occurences, and many other events have been reported within a ten mile radius of this structure.<br />
Is it a marker? Is it art?<br />
Do Sasquatch express their thoughts and feelings through art like we do?<br />
Maybe not.....................but it sure is fun to wonder.<br />

As most of you may already know, I have started a new video channel titled 'Raven's Nest' on Youtube and will be periodically adding new and more interesting videos each week (when possible). The first one is a bit of a very rough draft. It's a glimpse of things to come, but future videos will have more features and cool things I won't reveal just yet ; )<br />
Below is my first of the video series 'Raven's Nest'.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>**Please SUBSCRIBE, LIKE and SHARE**</b> <b>if you enjoyed the video</b></span>. Remember, this is only a very rough first draft. Future videos will be enhanced with more features and better quality.Thank you for watching!<br />

I want to go out there without any preconceived notions, judgement or expectations, but I also want to be sure I'm not traipsing through the wilds of who-knows-where all jangled to the core from a disagreement that morning or any other one of life's daily stressors.<br />
<br />
To be in tune with nature, and its inhabitants, we need first to be in tune with our own rhythms- physically, mentally, emotionally, and even psychically and spiritually ( if you make practice of them ).<br />
Meditation and meditative breathing are wonderful tools, as too is smudging.<span style="color: blue;"> (see pictures of me below ) </span>There are many different examples you can research online so I won't go too much into detail here (find one that's comfortable for you), but even if you take a few moments to sit quietly, eyes closed, and focus on your breathing, you'll find your body will automatically begin to seek homeostasis and balance. Breathing a nice gentle deep breath into the belly through the nose to a count of 4 ( both inhalation and exhalation ) is one of my personal favorite ways of balancing myself and clearing negativity in a jiffy if I don't have a lot of time to spend on it. Just a few minutes is enough to get you started and you can even continue doing this exercise out in the field.<br />
Smudging is an age-old form of clearing away negativity and bringing peace and positive energy to you. A smudge stick is a bundle of dried herbs. It can be any one of a number of herbs or combination of them. My personal favorite to use is a bundle of Sage, Sweetgrass, and Cedar.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Sage banishes negativity, Sweetgrass attracts positive energy, and Cedar is for protection. The smudge stick in the pictures below is white sage.</b></span><br />
Again, there are many forms of smudging just as there are ways of meditating. Find what works best for you and your situation.<br />
The main point is to ground and center yourself for the work you will be doing. Being balanced is the first step to going out there and doing great work in your field of research.<br />
If you are stressed when you go into the field, not only will your work not being enjoyable, but the creatures of the forest can certainly sense that energy about you and will either avoid you or react negatively to it. Remember.....An ounce of prevention( and preparation ) is worth a pound of cure!<br />

What is still not completely understood is WHY it is found in everything from llamas to legumes and even leggy blondes, and what it's connection to and main function with us all is. Speculations run deep and theories are rampant, but it is still a very mysterious member of the tryptamine family indeed.<br />
DMT has its highest concentrations in certain plants in Latin America.<br />
Indigenous tribes have been making snuffs, brews, and teas for Shamanistic purposes, visions of the future, healing, astral travel and contact with their dead ancestors for literally hundreds to even thousands of years.<br />
Dr. Rick Strassman, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico, has conducted extensive research in the area of DMT, especially in its relation to the human brain and most profoundly, the pineal gland.( Often known as the "seat of the soul" ).<br />
<br />
For more about Dr. Rick Strassman and his research and studies, please visit his website at www.rickstrassman.com<br />
<br />
One of the most intriguing things to me when reading Rick Strassman's book "DMT-The Spirit Molecule" was the uncannily similar "trips" experiencers in his studies had. The same type creatures, beings, and surroundings show up time and again, though the people themselves were very different.<br />
Can DMT possibly open doorways to other dimensions? Can it help us "see" things we wouldn't ordinarily see without its aid? Do some people naturally produce more of it in their systems thereby giving them an edge when it comes to being able to perceive what we label paranormal phenomena? Or is it just another hallucinogen and its commonalities a mere coincidence.<br />
<br />
These are questions I have pondered for some time. As more and more people step up and open up about their experiences with strange creatures and other Fortean-like oddities, and television programs shed light on these experiences through reality series and documentaries, the more I wonder if we are on the edge of some kind of major breakthrough in our respective fields of scientific discoveries, and even more than that.......the answer to just how and WHY we are all here in the first place. <br />

Stories of malignant, ghastly looking black hounds with glowing red eyes that roam the wastelands and plod through ancient forests in the night, baying and howling and bringing with them a supernatural feeling of ill will and bad omens. Locals are often frightened to the point of staying in doors for days on end and crossing themselves with holy water at the slightest mention of the foul beasts. In the late 1600's hundreds and early 1700's, they were often associated with witches, either accompanying them to black masses or being one in the same as shape-shifting counterparts.<br />Even Mexico and North America have their versions of these creatures.<br /><br />They are known by many names - Devil dogs, demon dogs, hounds of Hell, Black Shag, Black Shuck, Faery dogs, Ghost hound, "Ol' Padfoot", Yeth hound, Pooka, and probably the most well known of them all, 'The Hound of Baskervilles'.<br />The origins are debatable and come from many backgrounds and sources, but their descriptions have a host of things in common. They are often described as abnormally large in stature, black in color, malevolent in nature, and have glaring hypnotic red eyes that mesmerize, yet terrify any poor soul unfortunate enough to cross their path.<br /><br />Very rarely are they seen running in packs or lumbering down busy streets. They are more likely, and have been reported to be, encountered alone in graveyards, dark forests, on sites where executions or murder have taken place, ancient burial grounds, and vast distant reaches of the Moors where escape is unlikely, but death from fright a distinct possibility.<br />In Tring, Hertfordshire, a fiersome black beast with glowing red eyes haunts an old road and is said to be the spirit of a local chimney sweep who was brought up on murder charges and promptly executed. It is said that the dog sinks slowly into the ground if approached.<br />In Jersey, the phantom black dog is known as 'Tchico' and usually makes its prescence known just before a storm rolls in.<br />Cape Elizabeth, Maine is home to a black dog the size of a St. Bernard but with a wolf-like sillouette. It is described as being a shadowy figure who lurks in the bushes and will block your path if you attempt to walk down the road it haunts.<br /><br />Though most of these creatures are the stuff nightmares are made of, not all are considered bad luck or evil. In fact some, like the 'Gurt Dog' of Somerset, are considered benevolent and even helpful.<br /><br />Anubis, the black jackal-headed god of the Underworld who is associated with mummification and judgemnt of the soul, is also known to safeguard the dead on their journey into the afterlife. He is also known as a fierce protector of children.<br /><br />Now let me introduce you to my friend Tina's canine companion, Max.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQOfdU2SqH3CycOv8xcChFEZKQprFZAmYvfjFygkIUN893cRZFnEoFV70MNlR8dyJH_Jg31ek-g18Wj2A3DMreXalFN3JFozwqcI2XbVZfw71G432zcJOeXcGaEZ3rUdZpyoFzEqEWRQc/s1600/Max+red+eyes.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQOfdU2SqH3CycOv8xcChFEZKQprFZAmYvfjFygkIUN893cRZFnEoFV70MNlR8dyJH_Jg31ek-g18Wj2A3DMreXalFN3JFozwqcI2XbVZfw71G432zcJOeXcGaEZ3rUdZpyoFzEqEWRQc/s320/Max+red+eyes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589148498617508290" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Max is a Newfoundland mix-breed dog that weighs over 100 pounds, has a beautiful midnight-black coat, and stands an impressive three feet tall at the shoulder.<br />He also has an unusual attribute I find particularly intriguing. Max's eyes, when any source of light hits them including sunlight, will blaze crimson-orange like the fires of a freshly stoked hearth. It is definitely not Tapetum lucidum aka "eye shine" that causes Max's to look this way. It is a natural eye coloration he was likely born with. Though medical conditions such as conjunctivitis and entropion can certainly be causes for a dog's eyes to have an odd red color to them, Max is in great condition and has a clean bill of health, eyes and all.<br />And don't let Max's monstrous size and unique red orbs fool you for one moment. He is neither evil or dangerous.<br />Max is a gentle giant who Tina rescued some time ago from a shelter where he was passed over and unwanted by others.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaHmOp941xp10cfS7yjHmVMZnwh4-jRfg2cBc95Rs5T_J9Drw47Vkuxx1MDHT1FC5MZMCvcG7-UXyfuImjfg9y_MKyZMQaawNlvQ7fEzvMdpGd0w4wi3_RHtolTrIee_7cw-yvXAELMA/s1600/Max3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaHmOp941xp10cfS7yjHmVMZnwh4-jRfg2cBc95Rs5T_J9Drw47Vkuxx1MDHT1FC5MZMCvcG7-UXyfuImjfg9y_MKyZMQaawNlvQ7fEzvMdpGd0w4wi3_RHtolTrIee_7cw-yvXAELMA/s320/Max3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589148863945544994" border="0" /></a><br />Could Max's uncanny resemblence to the hounds of Hell be a reason he couldn't find his forever home for so long? Who knows. But it certainly is possible that Max, and others like him, could be the cause for many a campfire story and tales told on a stormy night.<br />I would like to think it was fate that brought him and Tina together.

She loved everything about anything paranormal, Fortean and unknown. She was very gifted and knowledgeable, and though she never sought a degree, she had more education in the realms of science and math than most people who make a career of them. We often called her "the human calculator" because you could throw a random mathematical equation at her, and she could figure it out solely in her head without ever laying pen to paper.<br />She had a way of just "knowing" things and her sense about people was always spot on.<br />I loved to listen to her talk about the subjects she enjoyed so much. Dad was a die-hard skeptic, but even he could not deny mom's truly wonderful psychic talents, and he was, along with all of us, in awe of the things she could do.<br />I'll keep this short, but the following story is one that not many know about because mom chose to humbly keep it quiet for many years, but it is one which I would like to share with you today to honor her.<br />Were it not for my mother some years ago, a little girl in Ohio may have ended up being another child whos life ended all too soon at the hands of a child molester. The man held her captive for several days in the attic of a house and gave her very little food and water. In fact she was severely and dangerously dehydrated when she was found by local police after many days of searching. The man also kept her tiny hands and feet bound with duct tape so there was no chance of escape for her, though she was just barely 3 years old.<br />A group of psychics worked together on this case and are also to thank for their input as well, so I dont want to disclude them in this story, but it was my mother who was able to psychically tune into street signs, the house's exterior, and even the man's description down to tattoos he had and clothing he wore. With her input of psychic information, they were more able to locate the area, retreive the little girl, and put the man behind bars, where he will be for the rest of his life. The child had to undergo several reconstructive surgeries and intensive therapy, but was able to recover and go on about her life,because my mother took the time to concentrate on this case and even go without sleep, so that that little girl could be safely reunited with her family and have the chance to grow up and experience life.<br />My mother was a very special person, who constantly went out of her way for others, though her own schedule was at best frantic and chaotic, as her and dad worked so hard every day together in his business as a cash register salesman and repairman. They were always on the go and I always wondered where all that energy came from. I admire both of them for their strong wills and determination to forge ahead no matter how tough times got.<br />Dad joined mom in the hereafter a little more than a year after she passed. I hope they are both smiling down upon me and able to be proud of the person Ive become and the things I am accomplishing, due mostly in part to their wisdom, guidance, and never ending willingness to teach me and talk with me about the subjects I love so much.<br />I love you mommy and daddy. Thank you for being my parents. See you when I get there.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10370349821859715150noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719872080238729778.post-40003234865589025592011-01-07T10:01:00.004-05:002011-01-07T10:22:08.304-05:00Mass deaths of birds and fish : The aflockalypse? Or just another weird, incredible, milestone in biological historyAt first glance, I too am inclined to look at the fish and birds perishing in great numbers as a "sign" or portend of something to come, but as a budding Zoologist and scientist, I take a look at the hard and true facts and put the puzzle pieces together bit by bit until Occam's Razor clues me in and I find the simplest, most likely answer.<br />What I know about animals already and have also been reading in several different reports, is that this is indeed a common occurrence and will happen periodically on earth, caused by sources such as weather changes, air pollution, disease, acid rain, and even magnetic fluctuations that throw birds and other creatures off their instinctive migratory patterns. Whales washing up on beaches is just one example of these terrible, yet natural, disasters.<br />It's all part of Mother Nature's design.<br />Now, are there things we can do about some of it? Certainly!<br />Pollution is definitely something we have within our realm to control, at least to some degree.<br />If we put all of our minds together for a solution, surely one will come about.<br /><br />My main objective in posting this today is to point out that we should take care not to jump to conclusions too quickly and focus on paranormal or government conspiracy, when we should be looking at the big picture and focusing on the facts in order to find a solution, if indeed there is one.<br />Not that we may not find a paranormal reason or government conspiracy some day down the road. Those too ARE options, but they're simply not the likeliest causes, and that is my point.<br /><br />Check out this latest report from yahoo news, and give it some thought:<br /><h1 style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" id="yn-title"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110107/ap_on_sc/us_sci_dead_wildlife_fact_check">FACT CHECK: Mass bird, fish deaths occur regularly<br /></a></span></h1><br />Have a howling good day, Haven fans!<br /><br />Your Mistress of the Mysterious,<br />Raven M.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10370349821859715150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719872080238729778.post-90575721953850587102010-12-06T09:14:00.003-05:002010-12-06T09:22:08.235-05:00Marshall County, Alabama -- black cat attack<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYurRi88TlUwDD9BoKu8ZdI5UjLsKUufo2XUFD7HXa41kw-JTbtfcEFgdbE6WnzOoCaRefbQ2w4e_D9DVzAc_HerFMfrOY8P1dd8jw_nSe1h9k1MIvO9ZgpuAwF9fJwYz1Phbxs1QeDA/s1600/Blackleopard.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYurRi88TlUwDD9BoKu8ZdI5UjLsKUufo2XUFD7HXa41kw-JTbtfcEFgdbE6WnzOoCaRefbQ2w4e_D9DVzAc_HerFMfrOY8P1dd8jw_nSe1h9k1MIvO9ZgpuAwF9fJwYz1Phbxs1QeDA/s320/Blackleopard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547573928095688242" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">We are seeing a rise in encounters / sightings of these elusive beasts all across the U.S.<br />Some of the witnesses have unfortunately been on "the business end" of tooth and claw.

I had to leave that day to go run errands, so I was unable to monitor them any longer than that.
