More From Regan
This just in from Regan Lee:
My recent Trickster's Realm column for Binnall of America is about a strange presence felt by many, including myself -- is it animal? Or something else?
Also posted on the League of Western Fortean Intermediasts site Oregon L.O.W.F.I.Strange killings continue . . . which I comment on at my blog Octopus Confessional, as well as the juxtaposition of two television programs, Fringe and Numbers, airing episodes about animal rights activists, and the "Pro-Test" by scientists for animal testing in Animal Testing Themes in TV and the Pro-Test Scene.

Regan: Two New Posts
Our ever-reliable Oregon rep, Regan Lee has 2 new posts that will be of interest - one on a mystery feline; and the other on the classic British film, The Abominable Snowman.
And as Regan asks with respect to her second post: was the film's creator aware of the paranormal aspects of Bigfoot?
Here's a few quotes from Regan's article to give you an idea of its content:
What I found surprising in this were the references to the Yeti's telepathic and other "paranormal" abilities, as well as the eye illumination. There's also the implication of Yeti living in caves and within the earth; for example, in the previously mentioned scene, the Yeti arrive from the rear of the cave. The film was made in 1957 which means that awareness of "paranormal Bigfoot" was out there in the literature even back then. Hairy bipedal encounters, from the Yowie to Bigfoot to Yeti, include story after story of these beings having telepathic abilities, appearing not only on, but inside mountains, traveling via caverns, caves and underground tunnels, eyes that glow from within, playing with the mind, visiting humans in the astral realm and dream state, and other preternatural traits.
And here's the rest of what is a very interesting article.

Big Cats of Oklahoma
Our Oklahoma rep Melissa Miller has an excellent new post on the big-cats of Oklahoma. And so, it's over to Melissa for all the details:
"Big cats are not new to Oklahoma. Mountain lions have been documented in the state since 1852 and listed as a game species since 1957. The Oklahoma Wildlife Department describes the cats this way: 'Its tail is more than half the length of the body, it has black tips on the tail and ears, and is primarily tan in color. The size of these animals varies by sex. Males average seven feet long (from nose to the tip of its tail) and weigh around 140 pounds, while females average six feet in length with a body weight around 95 pounds.' The Oklahoma Wildlife Department also states that the best place to see a cat is extreme western Oklahoma; and yet, some of the most dramatic sightings have taking place in extreme eastern Oklahoma."
And click here for the rest of the story.
