PARALLEL UNIVERSES

Some of the ideas listed in this blog relay on the existence of parallel universes.  While the notion of parallel universes may seem like the stuff of science fiction, several scientific ways have been suggested in which they might exist.  If there were portals between such universes, it might account for phenomena which might seem to exist on a part-time basis.  For a look at these suggestions from the scientific community, follow the link.

2005: A resident of Benton County, Tennessee, walking his dog in a wooded area around 6:45 a.m., claims a Bigfoot sighting. His report to the GCBRO says: "It was covered in dark black fur, looked to be about 7 ft tall maybe taller, and took very large footsteps and swaggered its arms back and forth like in the videos I've seen." His dog escapes and runs home, while the creature vanishes into thick brush after a brief observation.

1975: Mrs. Jennie Robertson reports that a Sasquatch tried to snatch her 4-year-old son Gary from their rural home near Flintville, Tennessee (population 627 in 2010). A six-man posse, including Lincoln County sheriff's deputy Homer Davis allegedly pursues the creature, firing gunshots, but fails to kill or apprehend it. Soon afterward, another local woman claims Sasquatch "jumped on her car roof."

BIGFOOT PLAITING

A number of accounts I have come across relate to people finding the manes of their horses plaited and have ascribed this to Bigfoot.  However, in Europe similar plaiting was widely ascribed to otherworldly beings such as Wights and Elves.

In fact, the origin of such plaiting can be explained without having recourse to any of these beings.  It is caused by a disorder called Polish plait.  This disorder (Latin Plica polonica) is caused by damage to the outer cuticles of the air, allowing the cortices of the strands to intertwine.

Why was it called Polish plait?  The Germans thought for some reason it was associated with the River Vistula in Poland and so called it Weichselzopf (Vistula plait).  However, it later became clear it was not necessarily of Polish origin.  In English hair plaited in this way is called "elflocks" showing how it was supposedly connected with otherworldly beings.

1973: The "Enfield Horror" begins in White County, Illinois, as witness Henry McDaniel of Enfield reports a bizarre monster scratched on his door overnight. According to McDaniel, "It had three legs on it, as short body, two little short arms coming out of its breast area and two pink eyes as big as flashlights. It stood four and a half to five feet tall and was grayish-colored. It was trying to get into the house." Sheriff Roy Poshard Jr. initially threatens to jail McDaniel for spreading tall tales, then relents as further sightings of the creature persist through early May. State troopers find tracks on one occasion, describing them as "like those of a dog, except they had six toe pads." After its spate of frightening appearance, the "horror" vanished forever.

1964: While working a field at his farm near Newark Valley, New York (Tioga County), witness Gary Wilcox claims a UFO occupant sighting at 10 a.m., in. He describes an egg-shaped craft hovering just about the ground, with two 4-foot-tall humanoid beings in silver-white clothing. They communicate with him, asking questions, and afterward Wilcox says, "Their voices did not sound like a voice I could describe. I could understand what was said but cannot tell whether they were speaking English or not."

WERE-PANTHER: A FLORIDA LEGEND

Just how old this tradition may be, bearing in mind it involves motorized vehicular traffic, I am not sure.

The roadway called Alligator Alley crosses the Florida peninsula.  The Were-Panther (as it is called - but there seems to be no reason to think it has changed from man into panther) is said to make its depredations here.  It will only attack moving vehicles such as trucks.  The creature's paws seem to bear some resemblance to hands.  Its eyes are red.

If there is any truth behind this story, author John Henry Fleming suggests it might be an animal with peculiarities developed from inbreeding among a small population of cougars.  He also offers other explanations.  Whatever it is, it is a thing of mystery.
