Investigation 1: Ghost Lights

Late one night, as I was sitting in my office playing gam- I mean, investigating cases, a woman stepped into my office. She looked nervous, like she didnt want to be seen entering a place like mine.  I closed my case files and looked at her. "Can I help you?" I asked, leaning back in my chair. "It's my husband." She said, still not quite meeting my gaze. "He disappeared without a trace the other day, and the police are no help, and I just don't know what to do. I heard you take on.... particular troubles." "You mean supernatural?"  She nods, then looks embarrassed to be seeking assistance from me instead of a priest.  Which, to be fair, is understandable, I do have kind of a reputation for unorthodox methods. I tend to look at traditions as suggestions rather than regulations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So that's how I ended up in the bistro across from one of the fancy office buildings at 3:15 am, ignoring my latte and scanning the skyline....

So I bet you're wondering where I've been.......

I just got off an assignment that legally I'm not allowed to discuss (NDA type stuff). In the meantime, until I can share that story, I'm going to revive this blog, and use it to talk about small jobs I've taken on this last year.  I hope to Elpis to be able to share that story with you all some day, but until then, enjoy what I am able to share in the meantime.

The Mothman

The first recorded Mothman sighting took place on November 12, 1966, near Clendenin, West Virginia. Five men were in a cemetery preparing a grave for burial when they saw something they couldn't explain. Lifting off from the nearby trees was a brown winged creature. The men held to the fact that what lifted off beyond the trees was no bird; it was a humanoid. - The Cryptid Wiki ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Mothman is some kind of humanoid/moth hybrid creature first sighted in West Virginia, believed to be the product of some kind of environmental disaster stemming from the improper storage of chemicals in what locals refer to as "TNT Area." It appears at scenes of disasters, sometimes just appearing there, other times taking a more active role. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many similar cryptids and creatures have been seen worldwide. The sightings are similar to Mothman in many ways, including the fact that most of them seem to be heralds of impending disasters. Some of the places Mo...

Fresno Nightcrawlers

One witness, a 60-year-old former marine yet to be named, and his wife were driving near Carmel on December 12, 2014 when they came up over a hill and saw a 7' tall, slender, gray creature which is now known as the Carmel Area Creature. The unnamed witness said the following: "We recently bought a place in the Fort Hill area (in southeast Highland County). We first noticed after about 30 days of living here that we suddenly have a perfect circle that stays fresh green, no matter what weather, in our front yard. On Friday night (the 12th), we were driving home. After turning onto Carmel Road, which leads to our road, we went around the curve by the Carmel church and then up a small incline and approximately 10 feet over the incline and in front of our truck, the 'alien' ran across the road and into the woods." Fresno Nightcrawlers appear to be relatively short creatures (approx. 1.5 meters) with most of their height being made up of their legs as they possess an ex...
