Creepy, Strange Bird found in Venezuela: Mothman?

By -

This is the strangest bird ever! According to our Mulder's World poster, this bizarre creature is a Potoo, an unconventional looking bird found in Central and South America. A collage of the bird is below:


A Mulder's World commenter posted this interesting tidbit:

This is probably the animal that started the Mothman phenomenon. People saw the "mothman" as a type of entity of omen... they describe it as a large strange owl thats normally seen at night and is incredibly stealthy. I wonder why it's coming out in the day now? Considering its a symbol of omen... maybe it means something? =P

      Sure sure. More like a huge absence of specimen.

      Just like it's impossible (according to you) for humans to transition from bipedal to quadrupedal motion fluidly.

      Shawn tater'd you deep yesterday silly numpty.

      There was an 'absence of specimen' until science got on board with the Bili Ape.

      No doubt there are very exceptionally talented and rare cases where a humans can transition from bipedal to quadrupedal motion very fluidly, you don't need a rocket scientist to tell you how unique that guy was the other day. Even so... Bigfoot are human and even if I was to agree with you; this would bring credence to accounts of Bigfoot achieving such.

      Didn't think that one out too long did you?

    Actually they usually roost in the open during the day and use their plumage to camouflage them against tree trunks. The ones in the photo just chose bad places to roost. It happens.

    Choosing to linger in the midst of mysticism and ignorance in times of great scientific progress is mental disorder. The bird is Great Potoo (Nyctibius grandis). I believe in supernatural but this right here is plain ignorance

    This is a Potoo, they are from south america, and there are 7 species. These birds are highly nocturnal, this one was out in the daytime which is rare but not impossible. It's eyes are just reacting to the light, just like when you see a barn owl in the daytime, all black.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from...

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
