(Top15s) This Top 15 list searched the Web for the most convincing Bigfoot sightings caught on tape.

People have dedicated their lives to finding more than seeing a Sasquatch but bagging it and bringing it to the feet of science and finding a lab with the guts to publish the findings without trying to say it's a bear or unknown cryptid (like Dr. Melba Ketchum has done only to be discredited by all the people capitalizing on Bigfoot hysteria or making In Search Of-style TV shows, which would come to an end once it's certain).

I can sense them in the area, staring.

How can one prove the existence of a cryptid skunk ape if no evidence is good enough? Until more are shot to death and hauled in rather than buried when the hunter realizes they are a kind of human species (too close to us for comfort) rather than hairy apes, motivated by the wrong reasons, such as fame and riches. These motives have resulted in hoaxes in the past and, what's worse, the powers-that-be have forced successful hunters to redact their stories and evidence or else.

• 

  It's a bipedal primate, great ape, like a Bonobo

  (Evidence that such "powers" are keeping this cryptid's existence a secret comes from the fact that many park rangers know they exist and will say so in private, have listed the creatures as protected species without explanation, and have the government chase and hunt them, with military labs keeping a close eye on their strange biology. Look into it. Take a deep dive.

  The Buddha confronted Yakkha Alavaka (SN I.10)

  If asked, Does Wisdom Quarterly believe? The answer is, Absolutely. Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and Sikh cosmologies replete with these creatures (nature protectors/fiendish ogres, two distinct kinds with individual personalities, some peaceful, some vicious). Moreover, American Lloyd Pye laid to rest any doubts for Western, science-minded, where's-the-cold-hard-evidence types like us. Dr. Melba Ketchum's published evidence is convincing, forensic, scientific, and has DNA, hair, and saliva samples, as well as close up footage. BFRO, retired police detective David "Missing 411" Paulides, and other notables investigate more quietly and get in less trouble. But the science is clear: Sasquatch is here and has been since Europeans arrived to tell other Europeans about it. Natives knew all along).

Lloyd Pye knew various hominids exist, proved it, died mysteriously.

It's clearly a smelly beast but its face is human.

Top15s is not trying to prove these videos are real or fake. This is simply an analysis. Let those with eyes see and decide for themselves.

Uncovering the Enigma: Sasquatch sightings and our deep fear of the wild | Monstrum

Yeti is an upright "bear" hominid, a class of wild human with language, intelligence, powers.

.

(Storied) Sept. 7, 2023: Is "Bigfoot" (Sasquatch, Yakkha, Rakshasa. Almas) a benevolent nature protecting beast or a bloodthirsty cannibal killer? Yes. It depends on whom one asks and when. Regardless, the Native American legend of Sasquatch dates back thousands of years and still captivates us to this day.

(Wiki) Many Indian tribes, Native Americans, the indigenous cultures of North America speak of mysterious hair-covered creatures living in forests [32].

Truth about their comings and goings it too much

According to anthropologist David Daegling, these Native legends existed long before contemporary reports by Euro-Americans of "Bigfoot."

Moreover, Buddhism and ancient Indian and proto-Indian tradition is well aware of forest protectors and cannibal wild men like the Yeti.

These stories differ in regional details and between families in the same community but are particularly prevalent in the Pacific Northwest [33].

The problem is the "high strangeness"

On the Tule River Indian Reservation, petroglyphs created by a tribe of Yokuts at a site called Painted Rock seem to depict a group of Bigfoot called "The Family" [34]. The local tribespeople call the largest of the glyphs "Hairy Man," and they are estimated to be between 500 and 1,000 years old [35].

Sixteenth century Spanish explorers and Mexican settlers told tales of the los Vigilantes Oscuros, or "the Dark Watchers," large creatures alleged to stalk camps at night [36].

In the region that is now Mississippi, a Jesuit priest was living with the Natchez in 1721 and reported stories of hairy creatures in the forest known to scream loudly and steal livestock [37]. More

Modern-day demonic possession (audio)

Prof. Laycock (Coast to Coast, 9/7/20); Seth Auberon, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Penguin Book of Exorcisms

Assistant Professor of Religious Studies Joseph P. Laycock at Texas State University discusses the beliefs and practices surrounding exorcism from across cultures, religions, scientific papers, clergy letters, and treatises by physicians and theologians.

In the Pentecostal, charismatic, and Catholic traditions, demons (yakshas, rakshasas, asuras) often go after very holy people, he explained.

The phenomenon occurs in Eastern religions.

In contrast, among evangelical groups a person may become susceptible to demons after dabbling with a Ouija board or the occult. Some people, Prof. Laycock continues, have no memory of their exorcism and parts of their possession, while others have vivid recall, including a woman who wrote a letter to her exorcist in the persona of the demon who was inhabiting her.

The world's largest religion, Catholicism, loves it.

The number of exorcisms around the world is on the rise, he reports, and the day before Easter Sunday 2020, Italian Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano called on his fellow clergy to perform a "mass exorcism" on Holy Saturday to quell Satan's "frenzy" during the coronavirus pandemic.

For the Catholic Church to approve an exorcism on any individual, it looks for specific signs of possession, including speaking in languages unknown to the person, limited clairvoyance or knowing things they couldn't possibly know, superhuman strength, and blasphemous rage against holy things.

What gets into this guy, hissing like a snake?

Some exorcism attempts can go on for years, Prof. Laycock details, such as a 1928 case in Iowa. He recounts the fascinating possession of an entire convent of Ursuline nuns in the French town of Loudun in 1634.

The nuns were said to have vomited up nails and a contract signed by demons with an accused Lothario priest (who may have seduced them and who was eventually burned at the stake for witchcraft). More + AUDIO

Our True Ghost Story (video)

(Dave Symes) Now, kids, obey the nice police. They're only here to protect you from expressing yourselves and saying things you might regret later. This is just like the Battle at Kruger:

(Jason Schlosberg) Now, water buffs, obey the nice lions.

They're only here to eat you alive.

Gary Holt, Tom, Kerry King, Paul (LAW)

One strange (i.e., paranormal) thing did happen at the Slayer concert! It sounds silly to recount it given that one might discuss the societal or interpersonal freak show that most any concert in Hollywood becomes.

Standing, watching the show from the pit -- a sweaty, chaotic mass of humanity pressing in with everyone blocking the view by throwing up "Hang Ten" hand signs -- it was mesmerizing to watch it for a few seconds from the vantage point of a well placed little screen.

The person in front was videotaping through a good quality cellphone with a good size screen. He was holding it up above the fray, so by looking up one had a good vantage point. He was focusing it on Kerry King during a quick guitar solo. We very clearly saw Jeff Hanneman playing guitar with his unmistakeable long blond hair.

 

Not having previously thought much about who else was now playing guitar on tour with Slayer, we were standing stage right in front of the deafening speakers, 20 feet or so away from the stage where the crush of fans is not all-consuming.

Kerry King (right) and Jeff Hanneman (Jesse Davis biography-tribute video, see below)

Hey, Jeff, I've been waiting. - Just one more solo, Mara! (namedtranslation.co.uk)

 

Now when the camera came down, we saw Kerry King playing guitar on our right. We rushed forward to figure out who was stage left. Were there five people up there? No. The Hanneman-replacement (Gary Holt) was on his own side of the stage, and he doesn't look anything like Hanneman. We searched and searched the stage from various angles in case someone had fallen back obstructed by the stacks playing rhythm guitar in addition to the duo, who were not interacting but just keeping to their sides.

When the camera and arm came down, it had clearly been pointing at a bald, head-tattooed Kerry King, not a long-haired blond guitarist. They look nothing alike. We assumed that who had been in the frame must have just stepped aside, but no. The sheen of Hanneman's hair magnified and amplified, glowing as luminescent pixels on the screen, left an even greater impression, in jarring contrast to King's baldness.

• Jeff Hanneman remembered by titans of metal

It is due to karma -- actions willed, carried out, and accumulated -- that one lives.

Then it dawned on us whose image had been on that camera screen -- that was DEAD Jeff Hanneman! (Hanneman died this year as a result of  liver failure due to years of drug and alcohol abuse and perhaps demons after a mysterious spider bite that led to him contracting a crippling case of necrotizing fasciitis, "flesh-eating disease," which almost led to the amputation of his right arm). His story is told here:

Did the image appear as a transient interaction between an electronic device and our eyes, the camera capturing and transducing a haint, making visible for a moment what the unaided eye cannot normally see? Or was their a documented intersection of planes: Did Hanneman's image appear on the digital video that person's camera was taking? There was no one on stage who looked anything like Hanneman, certainly no one wielding a guitar. We'll have to go through our messy, poorly lit photos and footage in search of paranormal artifacts.

But if the person who was filming finds Hanneman on it, please contact us! (Leave a comment in the Comments section with a way to contact you). Up the street at the Magic Castle, private members conduct a seance trying to contact the Great Houdini. It's been almost a century, and they have not reported any success. Here along Sunset Blvd., where a bicyclist once died right in front of the Palladium just before a Slayer show, having been driving without a helmet and being side swiped by a slow moving semi truck (a head is no match for asphalt), a deceased band member steps in, occupies, possesses his erstwhile friend and musical partner for a moment of Hollywood glory on stage together again. 

This really happened, as hokey as it may sound. But "see is believing," and we know what we saw. Without digital evidence there is no sense in others believing. So readers can take comfort in that. Halloween is just a few days away. The Moon is round. And The Veil is thinning in this hemisphere, just as it was a few months ago for Obon in Asia on the other side of the planet. This thinning between the dimensions, the Planes of Existence (as outlined in Buddhist cosmology), allows for the interaction of the worlds here on Earth. We coexist with animals and space-devas ("shining ones") and space-others [asuras, nagas, gandharvas: celestial titans/Annunaki (as explained by Michael "Forbidden Archeologist" Cremo), reptilians/Draconians, and angelic messenger-musicians].

Exotic (non-human) "Tribes" of India

Classic Indian epics such as the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and the Puranas -- as well as shramanic (wandering ascetic, namely Buddhist and Jain) writings -- refer to many exotic "tribes" (classes of living beings), describing them as superhuman or subhuman.

Narrations regarding them are often mixed with mythology and fiction. These tribes include Gandharvas, Yakshas, Kinnaras, Kimpurushas, Rakshasas, Nagas, Suparnas, Vanaras, Vidyadharas, Valikilyas, Pisachas, Devas (within them Vasus, Rudras, Maruts, Adityas) and Asuras (within them Danavas, Daityas, and Kalakeyas.)

Mythological beings or humans?
From a historical point of view, these exotic "tribes" simply may have been social groups that did not interact frequently with mainstream culture so that knowledge of them was very limited. This would have spurred the invention of fables about them. One point of view is that they were aliens from distant planets or hybrid-humans who had mixed with otherworldly visitors. While this seems more plausible, it is completely unacceptable today and has made necessary the "mythological" label. The neighboring Greek Empire would have become quite familiar with these legendary beings. Thus, tales of nature spirits, fairies, nymphs, giants, dwarfs, chimeras, and entire demigod pantheons were handed down through Western channels. This point of view usually assumes that the exotic capabilities of such tribes, as described in classic literature, are accurate and to be taken at face value.

These exotic capabilities included the ability to:

• appear and disappear at will
• fly in air, with or without the use of an airborne vehicle (i.e., a vimana)
• know of air and spacecraft (vimana)
• change shape at will (shapeshift)
• read minds
• know about other inhabited planets
• influence natural forces

In any case, these tribes had a profound influence on Vedic culture. But they remained separate from the culture — perhaps due to their geographic isolation from the rest of the world. The tribes' bases ranged from high mountains (such as the Yaksas and Rakshasas) to deep forests (such as the Vanaras). Or they were civilizations beyond the mainstream Indian civilization (as with the Devas and Asuras), which prevailed on the plains of the rivers Saraswati, Sindhu, and Ganges.

Gandharvas (Pali, Gandhabbas)
Gandharvas are described as fierce warriors who could challenge even the great Kshatriya warriors (such as the Sakyan Clan). They were skilled in art, music, and dance. Some Gandharva tribes were allied with the Devas and sometimes with the Yakshas. They inhabited the land to the north of Mt. Kailasa, close to the Deva territories. The name Gandharva might have been derived from the name Gandhara (modern Afghanistan), since they might originally have inhabited the inaccessible mountains of the Gandhara Kingdom. Later they might have spread to the Saraswati river (seen by Balarama during his pilgrimage over Saraswati). The Ramayana mentions a Gandharva kingdom named Sailusha near the mouth of the river Ganges. Ghandarva-shtan became Afghanistan. The city of Kandahar in Afghanistan is said to have been named after Gandhara.

Yaksas (Pali, Yakkhas)
The Yaksas were a tribe living in the area surrounding the Kailasa range of the Himalayas. Their king, Vaisravana or Kubera, was a worshipper of Shiva, whose abode is thought to be Mt. Kailasa.

According to the Ramayana, Kubera established or rebuilt the kingdom of Lanka (now known as Sri Lanka) and cohabitated with Yaksa people (still extant aboriginal tribes distinct from the Sinhalese majority). Later on, Kubera's stepbrother Ravan (common father Vishrava) took over Sri Lanka. And on their father's request, Kubera moved to the Himalayan region near Mt. Kailasa.

Kinnaras
Kinnaras are a tribe famed for their power of flight often spoken of along with the Gandharvas and Yakshas. The epic Mahabharata and the Puranas describe regions north of the Himalayas as the abode of Kinnaras. The Puranas mention an Asura with a horse head, known as Hayagrīva (Sanskrit, Haya = horse and grīva = head). This Asura was killed by an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who took a similar form. In Egyptian sculptures, horse headed figures or warriors employing an elongated face mask are a common motif resembling the head of a horse.

This region was also the abode of a tribe called Kambojas. They were fierce warriors skilled in horse riding and cavalry warfare. Some of them were ransacking tribes that invaded village settlements, raiding them using their skilled cavalry. Myths surrounding the Kinnaras probably came from these ferocious warrior tribes, who terrorized the Vedic settlements.

There is to this day a district named Kinnaur (Centaur?) in Himachal Pradesh that is thought to be the domain of the Kinnara tribes. The people there call themselves Kinnaurs.

Kimpurushas
Kimpurushas were described as lion-faced beings. They are often mentioned along with Kinnaras. Some of the Puranas consider Kinnaras and Kimpurushas the same, whereas the Mahabharata contains passages where they are distinct.

Rakshasas
Rakshasas (modern Yetis) are described as having large bodies, probably due to their continuous life in cold climates over snow-covered mountains. There is speculation based on the genographic project that many species of humans coexisted in a culturally evolved state. Rakshasas may be one of these human species (like Neanderthals in Europe and Asia with low temperatures such as the Himalayan region) reduced to small pockets like the high Himalayas and the cool mountains of Sri Lanka, with their networks steadily shrinking.

Another view is that Rakshasas are or were homosapiens who, like the Sikhs, follow a certain religious way (Vyam Raksham = aggression and protection of spiritual life) as opposed to a more secular approach like Yakshas (Vyam Yaksham = enjoyment and pleasure ignoring spiritual pursuits) -- distinct from the normal or middle path Vedic people and even Nagas (snake worshippers) follow. There were several other religious groups, for example the Dasas ("service and submission," like Divodasa and Sudas, who are called Aryan [Iranian, warrior, or noble] emperors, heroes of the Rigveda) whose religious beliefs were different.

Many times entire tribes or localities were painted with names. As Vedic religion slowly triumphed over other ways or paths, they were assimilated. Aggressive brahmins started calling underdeveloped ("savage") tribes by the names of their past opponents. Rakshasas (who were originally all brahmins) was a misused term, as was Dasyu (the priests of Dasas), which came to mean savage.

Famous Rakshasas
Ravana, the most famous Rakshasa in ancient India, ruled from the Trikuta Mountains (Adam's Peak) in Sri Lanka with climatic conditions similar to the Himalayas. He rose to the status of an emperor who exerted direct control from Sri Lanka north to the south of the Vindhya ranges in India, and indirectly over the kingdoms beyond. Ghatotkacha was a Rakshasa born to the Pandava male Bhima and the Rakshasa female Hidimbi. Rakshasa Ghatotkacha's kingdom was in the Himalayas between Gangotri and Kailasa. The forefathers of Ravana also lived there alongside the Yakshas. The Yaksha king Vaisravana was the elder brother of the Rakshasa king Ravana. Ravana had many sons with Gandharva wives. The epics Mahabharata and Ramayana and many of the Puranas attest that Rakshasas, Yakshas, and Gandharvas were related by inter-marriage.

Famous Rakshasa kingdoms in India were the

• Lanka Kingdom ruled by the Rakshasa emperor Ravana
• Danda Kingdom ruled by Khara, Ravana's general
• Rakhasa Ghatotkacha's kingdom in the Himalayas

Nagas
Nagas (Reptilians or snakes) were a group of people spread throughout India during the period of the epic Mahabharata. The demi-god tribe called the Suparnas (to which the Garuda belonged) were arch-rivals of the Nagas. However, Kashmir seems to be the original abode of all Naga tribes. Places like AnantNAG attests to this theory.

• The Naga Ananta (also known as Sesha and Adi-Sesha) was the first among all the Nagas. He became an ascetic.
• The second Naga chief Vasuki had the kingdom near Kailasa (hence the connection of Vasuki with lord Shiva).
• The third chief Takshaka, in Takshashila (Taxila), both not far from Anantnag. Takshashila is named after Taksh, son of Bharat and nephew of Rama, and his brother Pushkar founded Pushkalvati (modern Peshawar); they were not Nagas. Bharat defeated the Gandharvas, who had killed his uncle. His sons established their rule over Gandharva kingdoms in Gandhara. Takshaka lost his kingdom of Khandava and may have taken Gandhara for Nagas post-Mahabharata but finally lost it to Janamjeya.
• The kingdoms of other Nagas like Karkotaka and Airavata were near the Iravati river (Ravi, one of among five rivers in the Punjab) were not far away.
• The Kingdom of Aryaka was on the Ganges river. His great grandchildren included Krishna and the Pandavas.

Nagas had kingdoms in Nagaland and Andhra Pradesh. Arjuna's wife, Ulupi, was from one such Naga kingdom (on the Gangetic Plain). Arjuna's other wife, Chitrangada who was from Manipuri (location uncertain), was probably from a Dravidian tribe. There are now many Naga worshiping places in South India, especially in Andhra Pradesh, coastal Karnataka, and Kerala.

The Naga race was almost exterminated by Janamejaya, the Kuru king in Arjuna's line who conducted the massacre of Nagas at Takshashila. This massacre was stopped by Astika, a brahmin whose mother was a Naga (Vasuki's sister Jaratkaru).

Suparnas
The Suparnas (a.k.a. Garudas) were probably the falcon-worshipping or falcon-rearing Iranians who conquered the Naga territories of Northwest India. They could also be the Dragon- worshipping Chinese people. They were arch-rivals of the Nagas. Garuda was a famous Suparna. They were famous for the ability to fly without using aircraft. Some of the literature suggests that they had wings (or powerpacks) like angels. Others consider them birds like hawks or eagles. And some think they were a race of intelligent Dragons in the family of dinosaurs, which became extinct at the dawn of human civilization. Yet another view suggests that Nagas and Garudas were two rival factions of the same tribe. The Mahabharata also supports this view since it describes the two races as originating from two mothers who were sisters.

Vanaras
Vanaras were a tribe who dwelled within dense forests. During the time of the Ramayana, the central part of the Indian Peninans was covered by a dense jungle named Dandaka Forest. Most of the Vanaras lived there. Kishkindha was their stronghold, holding sway over all of the Vanara tribes spread across the Indian subcontinent. It was situated in this forest, located near the Tungabhadra river in the state of Karnataka. Some literature describes them as monkeys, some as apes.
