A Northampton County‚ Pennsylvania boy was in the family garden picking vegetables when he noticed a dark reddish brown face staring back at him. When it smiled at him‚ he took off frightened.I received the following account:";It was in the late 1970s‚ in Northampton County‚ Pennsylvania‚ not far from the Lehigh River. It was early summer‚ around noon. Bright sunny day. The area where the sighting occurred is now developed but used to be brushland and sparse forest.Growing up‚ my family grew a large vegetable garden to help feed our family. It was at the end of a large backyard about 10 feet from the brushline. Groundhogs raided it for food‚ so it had a small fence around it which didn';t stop them honestly.One day‚ when I was a kid‚ my Mom sent me out to the garden alone to fetch vegetables for lunch. I started picking when I noticed a face staring at me from the brush about chest-high to an 8-year-old. The face was dark reddish brown‚ covered in hair‚ a large forehead‚ a short‚ flat‚ and wide nose with black eyes. It was as large as my torso and human-like but more animal than human.Not sure what I was seeing‚ I walked up to it stayed inside the fence‚ and stared at it. It stared back without moving. After a while with the face staying motionless‚ I remembered what my Mom wanted me to do and got back to picking vegetables. But I noticed the face was still watching me as I was in the garden.When I finished picking vegetables‚ I walked back to the face and stared at it. The face stared back unmoving. At this point‚ I had convinced myself that the face must be an illusion of some sort‚ and I was fooling myself. What else could it be?So I smiled in relief.And the face smiled back. Only when it smiled‚ it had long pointed canine teeth.I did what any kid would do. I dropped my basket of vegetables and ran screaming at the top of my lungs back inside the house. My Mom and brother went outside to the garden (Dad was running errands)‚ and the face was gone. Itwas a long time before I would go to the garden alone again.I';ve never seen Bigfoot again and I live in a major city now‚ but I want to go back to the forest to find it again someday."; NHAVE A COMMENT?

According to a witness‚ there were a series of sightings of what people referred to as a ';werewolf'; around theNaperville‚ Illinois area around 2006.I received the following account:";Hi. I was talking to one of my really good friends a while back in 2006‚ and we just somehow ended up talking about weird stuff we';ve seen in our lives. He brings up the story of how one of our friends‚ and her friends had a scary encounter.They were walking through a neighborhood at night and just ended up at a park outside of the Greene Valley Forest Preserve in Naperville‚ Illinois‚ which is a very big forest. So they';re walking towards the park when they see what they thought was a tall person on top of the swing set. So they stop and wonder who would be standing on a swingset at 10 pm at night alone. So they get closer‚ and the creature turns around. It was a hairy creature with bright orange eyes‚ standing upright at around 8 feet tall. It looked at them for about 5 seconds‚ then it jumped straight down without making a sound‚ sprinting away. They got scared and ran back to their car and went home.As soon as one of them got home she was sitting in her house when banging started on her house. She then called up one of her friends (supposing it was him) telling him to stop‚ he told her it really wasn';t him. He said he was home and the same thing was happening with him. They never saw the creature again. There have been a few more sightings by people who say they';ll wake up early in the morning around 6 am and will see the creature watching them when they';re outside. Everyone who describes it describes it as a ";werewolf.";So here';s my story. I and a couple of my friends went to the same forest preserve at night just to hang out and have a couple of beers. We';ve heard about the story a couple times but thought they were just pulling our chain. But we were there for like about an hour‚ and we finished our beers‚ and decided to leave. Well‚ my friend went to relieve himself near the edge of the woods‚ and we said we';d wait for him. So he finishes up‚ walks back to us‚ and we';re just walking back to my car in normal conversation‚ and he';s not talking. We just asked him‚ ";Why are so quiet?'; He just told us to hurry up and move fast to the car. I said‚ ";What';s going on?";So we get to our car and he seems to be fine‚ and all is forgotten. I saw him every day after that and everything was normal. Then a while later were sitting in a restaurant eating‚ and I brought up the park and told him we should all go do that again. And then he flat-out told me when he was doing his business on the edge of the woods‚ he saw two glowing orange eyes looking at him from about 20 feet away and getting closer. He didn';t see the creature‚ due to the fact it was almost pitch black‚ but he saw the eyes getting closer‚ and he got scared. He told me he didn';t tell us that night‚ because he didn';t want to scare us‚ and he thought we wouldn';t believe him.After these many years‚ I wonder how many other people saw this creature?"; HHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact meby emailor call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

A reader‚ Terry‚ forwarded an archive of fascinating stories written by him over the years. The following post details a few particulars regarding his Great-grandmother Lucy:";When Great-grandmother Lucy was around 14 years old‚ bandits raided her family';s small plantation in Mexico. They slaughtered everyone except her and a sister. They were separated and she was taken to their boss';s hideout deep in the desert. The leader was an old woman who ran the bandits. The mysterious old woman needed a student to pass her knowledge. Why HER? We may never know.For years she was trained in the ancient and dark arts of the supernatural until the day the old woman died. Lucy was 18 and left for Texas with the male leader of the bandits (the old woman';s son). They made their home in the west and northwest regions of Texas. There she gave birth to her first son who is my Grandfather. There‚ she practiced and improved her skills.";THE SWORD FROM THE BEYOND";My Great-grandmother was given a sword by the old witch that was said to belong to a fallen god or something close to it. It was extremely deadly and was wrapped in a special cloth to hide its aura. Witches and the supernatural sought after its power for countless years. She was 18 and left for Texas with the male leader of the bandits. The sword was one of many relics she brought with her to Texas. The sword was like a spirit amplifier and drained a large part of your life force every time it was used. So one must already have unusually high spirit energy to use it. It could harm the intangible and unseen. It was used to cut a tornado in half and to save several homes. But it caused a bad drought that year as she predicted.The use of the sword drew an evil presence to the town. One night‚ the house was attacked by a fire-like entity. The entity';s light shined on the entire neighborhood like the light of the morning dawn. Around twenty people or so saw this entity. It smelled like sulfur and was circling the house that she lived in. Then‚ it jumped onto the roof and called her name. She came out and drew out the sword from its cloth. It demanded the sword and she refused. It charged her. She quickly swung the sword and cut it in half. Its body disappeared into the wind as ash. She became very weak and asked for the oldest grandchild‚ my Uncle. The sword was shattered and its shards hidden through Texas and the nearby states.";BATTLE IN THE GRAVEYARD";It was the middle of the night and Lucy was marching around in the house. She was very angry and then decided to leave‚ mentioning to someone she left. She said that she was going to the graveyard and not to follow. My Uncle‚ my Mother‚ and a couple of my Aunts waited several hours‚ then decided to follow her anyway. My Uncle had the only vehicle and drove to the cemetery which was several miles away.They parked the truck and crawled through the cemetery. Sounds of women yelling were echoing through it. The gang followed the source of the noise. There were two groups of women. One of the women‚ which was Lucy‚ and a local witch versus a large group of women in black. Great-grandmother and the leader of the women were yelling in foreign tongues. Suddenly‚ the woman leader coughed up a long fork tongue and started chanting a spell. Lucy quickly raised her hand and gestured a breaking motion. The woman';s neck broke and fell dead. One of the stunned observers made a sound. Lucy turned and looked at them. They all got up and ran to the truck and sped off. The pedal was hitting the floor. They were almost home when they saw a blue lightning-type flash speed pass them. What the hell was that? crossed their minds. They made it home to find Lucy was waiting for them. She scolded them for following her to the confrontation. They never did that again. No one knows how many battles she had with other witches and practitioners. It was widely known that Lucy had many rare artifacts that were deeply desired by negative forces. They constantly tried to obtain them when an opportunity arose.";THE GIANT BIRD";It was a time when Great-grandmother was very ill and could not travel. So‚ her Grandchildren drove her wherever she needed to go. One day during one of these trips they experienced a strange attack.It was in broad daylight when someone noticed a huge bird in the distance. That was one big vulture they thought until they got much closer. Suddenly‚ it spread its wings‚ which spanned the width of the road‚ and the body was as tall as a man. It seemed to them that they encountered a Thunderbird‚ but it wasn';t because the bird was wearing jewelry. They stopped the car‚ along with other vehicles on the other side of the bird. They approached their car and started to talk in Spanish. The words Where are the books? and Give me the books! were heard. Other people who were coming to see why the traffic was being held up saw and heard the bird. They all fled in fear‚ including the local police. This distraction gave my Aunt time to grab one of Great Grandmother';s mystery bottles and throw it at the bird. It splashed on the bird';s face and it started to smoke. The bird started to scream and flew away.";THE PUPPET MASTER?";Before the time that Lucy';s health took a turn for the worst‚ she had many contacts in scientific and medical communities through ";Dr. Pearl"; and his employers. Representatives from several pharmaceutical companies were known to visit Lucy at home. What was discussed and/or exchanged was never known. There were many accounts of Lucy healing people with infections and maladies that baffled the local doctors. Yet‚ she dealt with Dr Pearl in his eugenic experiments that killed dozens‚ if not hundreds‚ of women and children. It was strange that the research Dr. Pearl had accumulated vanished after his murder. Lucy kept quiet about her dealings with him. She once stated‚ Everyone who is alive today and tomorrow owes me their lives. Was she a benefit to the human race or her test subjects? Did she actually influence the world in some manner?";LUCY';S POWERS";Lucy had several different abilities that were seen or known to the family and Dr. Pearl. Telekinesis was the backbone of her natural skills. She could teleport small items through walls and land them in front of her. She uses it to fight and kill her enemies. The flight was the second most used skill. She would use this to travel from place to place without anybody noticing. She couldn';t drive or have someone drive her to locations quickly when called on. Some of the family witnessed her in action.My Great-grandfather was hardly home and came back from time to time to give her money. He gave her large sums of money that would last months or even years at a time. He was a well-skilled bandit and traveled all over the U.S. and Mexico. He became extremely wealthy. The law finally caught up to him and he was killed. That is what she said. Yet‚ only a small portion of the money was ever recovered. He hid it very well and he always disposed of his gang after every heist.Lucy raised Grandfather by herself. I don';t know if she had a great hatred for his father or was just too busy‚ but she never taught her son to read or write. Yet‚ my Grandfather was a hard worker and never gave up throughout his life. When he was a young man‚ he fell in love with a half Irish/Apache woman at a flea market. It was love at first sight. She was not happy at all. She didn';t want that bloodline to mingle with hers‚ but he still married her.Lucy wanted to punish them both and took years to plan. It was never known how it was done‚ but it worked. My grandmother became paralyzed and couldn';t talk or move very well. She stayed like this till her death. The last moment before she died‚ she whispered to Lucy I forgive you. Right after that‚ Lucy fell ill with crippling pain. Her health too began to fail. Decades later‚ she was only able to move her eyes. I witnessed this myself before she died.";NOTE: I want to thank Terry for forwarding this information.

The Girl Who Hugged Trump In Atlanta Is a Treasure

I Think I';m Going to Pass on ';Civil War';

As the November election rockets toward us like a rocket that will explode and scatter our bodies and possibly even our souls over a gore-spattered kill-zone that used to be America until it was hit by a rocket‚ its time for us to ask ourselves: what are the choices we should be thinking about as we writhe in a strangling paroxysm of mutual hatred and rage until were hit by the November election as if it were a rocket?First‚ theres the candidates themselves. On one side‚ we have Joe Biden. And hey‚ lets say something positive about our president. I mean‚ sure‚ hes a lifeless body thats been horrifically re-animated for political gain‚ but at least he doesnt eat peoples brains‚ so its better than having an actual zombie in the White House‚ although that might be kind of cool‚ too‚ like‚ if he was shuffling aimlessly around the Rose Garden muttering incoherently with his mouth hanging open and his eyes glazed but then hes doing that already‚ so you get all the great zombie effects without the actual eating of brains. So hooray for Joe Biden.On the other side‚ you have Donald Trump. And of course‚ there are plenty of positive things to say about Donald Trump. We know that because hes said most of them. Which proves hes still alive‚ so at least hes not Joe Biden.Then there are the issues. And yes‚ I dont care what they are either‚ but lets take a look anyway.WATCH: The Andrew Klavan ShowNumber One‚ theres abortion. Joe Biden is a devout Catholic so of course he believes in a blood-drenched mass slaughter of millions of innocent babies up to and including the moment of their birth‚ after which they can be mutilated into flesh costumes of the opposite sex to appease the insane academic theories of sexual perverts‚ because Joe Biden is just so devout. Donald Trump believes that abortion should be left to the will of the people‚ so it could be like a TV game show where you hold up a baby and people give a thumbs up or a thumbs down and if its thumbs down‚ too bad for the baby‚ but he gets the board game version to take home as a consolation prize.Then theres the war in the Middle East. For Joe Biden‚ this is a matter of principle‚ and as soon as his base tells him what his principles are‚ he will stand squarely with Israel until that upsets the blood-thirsty pro-terrorist leftists who want to destroy Israel as a prelude to destroying America‚ then hell stand squarely with them. Donald Trump‚ on the other hand‚ is a friend to Israel‚ he just doesnt want to say so too loudly‚ because that might upset the part of his base thats a group of blood-thirsty pro-terrorist rightists who want to destroy Israel because thats where the Jews are‚ and what good have Jews ever done besides developing aspirin‚ curing polio‚ building the bomb that defeated the Japanese in World War II and creating the American movie industry and musical comedy and quantum science and‚ okay‚ they also make great bespoke suits and wrote the Bible. But other than that‚ screw that‚ groypers know how to type in all caps.And of course theres the economy. Joe Biden believes hes done a great job with the economy because hes a shuffling‚ muttering zombie-like creature who doesnt know what the hells going on‚ which is actually kind of comical until you have to spend your rent money to buy eggs. Donald Trump actually built a great economy during his first term but then he let it die when Anthony Fauci ran through the oval office with his hair on fire as he screamed‚ Everyones going to die from Covid unless we kill the economy. So if Trump wins reelection‚ my recommendation is that he reverse the process and set Fauci on fire first. Then he can build the economy and also cook up some smores‚ which are awfully good.So thats my incisive look at the candidates and issues in the upcoming election. You might want to print this out and take it with you into the voting booth‚ so when the rocket hits it wont come as a complete surprise.* * *Andrew Klavan is the host of The Andrew Klavan Show at The Daily Wire.

It really does live up to its claims of being fast and convenient. I completed their quiz in no time and was given a list of recommended products for Nora. I chose the Brilliant! Dental Stick and the Daily Supplement. Check-out was quick and easy‚ and my shipment arrived on time without any issues.I really liked the packaging of our subscription box. PetFriendly included a nice welcome card and two bags of treats in addition to the products I had ordered. I was most surprised by the Brilliant! Dental Stick. I had my doubts about Nora liking it‚ but it ended up being her favorite thing. She sniffed it out right away and demanded that it be unwrapped for her. I followed the easy instructions for dispensing the right amount‚ and she quickly licked up all the gel. After just a couple of days‚ her breath was noticeably fresher‚ and I now use this product regularly after Nora has had her last meal of the day.I ordered the Daily Supplement after making sure with my veterinarian that they were safe for Nora to eat. Unfortunately‚ my picky dog wasnt as enthusiastic about them. She didnt prefer eating them as is‚ so I tried adding them to her food‚ and she ate them without noticing. After about 2 weeks‚ I noticed that Noras coat feels softer and looks shinier. Noras also been eating them without experiencing an upset stomach‚ so its safe to say that these supplements have passed her sensitive stomach test.Overall‚ Id recommend PetFriendly to any dog owners who are new to pet wellness. Just check with your veterinarian first to ensure the products are applicable to your dog. Once you receive clearance from your veterinarian‚ youll find that PetFriendly makes caring for your dogs daily needs simple and straightforward. Check Price on PetFriendlyConclusionPetFriendly is a pet wellness subscription box service that makes taking care of your dogs health a straightforward and convenient process. Although it currently has a relatively small product line‚ you can rest assured that each product was made with intentionality and only uses high-quality ingredients. The Brilliant! Dental Stick is just one example of how creative and committed the company is to making products that are healthy and safe for dogs while being easy for humans to use.Since PetFriendly is a young company‚ we anticipate more pet wellness products will be added to the product line as the company continues to grow. Were looking forward to seeing how PetFriendly will develop more new and creative solutions that help pet owners maintain a healthy lifestyle for their beloved pets.The post PetFriendly Pet Wellness Box Review 2024: Our Experts Opinion appeared first on Pet Keen.

It began in 2004 as a different company but was still focused on dogs. Initially‚ it was a dog daycare‚ boarding‚ grooming‚ and training facility in Atlanta. The company began to offer clients an assortment of different foods and treats based on their own personal research of what they would want to feed to their own dogs. The quality treats and foods were a hit!From there‚ the business evolved into more of a retail space‚ selling high-quality food‚ toys‚ and treats. In 2015‚ a farmer brought up the idea of creating all-natural treats and chews‚ and they were inspired to begin sourcing from farms to dehydrate products from gizzards to chicken feet‚ to beef ears! Since they were all-natural‚ high quality‚ and the only product like it on the market‚ the treats and chews were a major success. Farm Hounds was officially born and they began their journey by providing transparently sourced products with ingredients and quality that are beyond reproach.What does Farm Hounds do?Farm Hounds creates dehydrated natural treats and chews for your pups. They create their products out of 100% meat. Their products dont include any grains‚ fillers‚ salt‚ sugar‚ glycerin‚ or other ingredients that different dog treats on the market would include.

The act of chewing these tendons provides great physical and mental enrichment for them‚ while also helping to naturally clean your dogs teeth and gums.

They are great for teeth and gum cleaning as pups chomp away. The act of chewing is already enriching and great mental exercise.

Farms Hounds guarantees your satisfaction and will fully refund your purchase and shipping cost if you and your dog are not happy with the product.My Experience with Farm Hounds ProductsWhen my Farm Hounds products came in‚ I was over the moon just looking at the goodies. My pup‚ Elo‚ perked right up‚ and he came over to see what I had in my box. He tried the duck jerky first. I had to break off a little piece since it comes in long strips and I wouldnt want to give him a chunk that large to gobble down. He did the most satisfying crunch crunch and then followed me all around the house for the next ten minutes! He was obsessed with the jerky after just getting one little taste and was so pumped to get more.Next‚ we tried the beef tendon. Chews can be scary to give out since if theyre too hard‚ they could break his teeth‚ and if Im not paying attention‚ he could get a big piece stuck in his throat or stomach. After reading about the beef tendons and how helpful they are to clean teeth and knowing that its just dehydrated meat‚ I felt good knowing that it wouldnt be too hard on Elos teeth and that the possibility of him ingesting a chunk was probably much lower. Of course‚ I still sat near him and monitored him while he chewed‚ but he loved the tendon! Whenever Elo has his paws on something good that he wants to keep‚ hell turn around so his back is to me so that I cant see. When he got this beef tendon‚ he turned right around! He wanted to have it all to himself and didnt want anyone to take it from him. I let him chew the whole thing as his snack that day and it took him about 25 minutes or so! Hes a power chewer and snack master‚ so he can get through some enrichment toys in 15 minutes and some chews faster too. I was pleased that this one did seem to slow him down and provide extra stimulation.The next product I wanted to try were the leftover sprinkles because they seemed so fun and unique. Elo isnt a very picky eater since he loves food‚ so adding sprinkles to his kibble seemed a bit silly. However‚ I prep lots of enrichment toys and snacks throughout the week and thought the sprinkles could add great flavor and intrigue to some of those items! I did my usual prep with ingredients like bone broth‚ some nonfat Greek yogurt‚ and a little peanut butter here and there. I sprinkled the leftover crumbs over top of all the snacks‚ and set them to freeze. Elo absolutely loved them when they came out of the freezer and I loved making his snack time even more fun with the sprinkles.
