A college student was part of a Mt. Everest trek. During the climb, he encounters a 3-4 foot tall, thick reddish-haired primate, similar to an orangutan, climbing an ice fall. The Sherpa guide said that it was a Yeti.I received the following account:"During Christmas break in grad school in December 1983 - January 1984, I was part of a Mt. Everest trek. We weren’t going to summit — basically, we hiked from a small mountain town airstrip to the base camp at the Khumbu glacier where the real climbers take off from. Takes 10 days or so each way, with stops at monasteries along the way to adjust to the altitude.It was winter in Nepal so most of the higher elevations were basically deserted. It’s very cold and rocky up there, not very inviting, but starkly beautiful. The pack train had gone on ahead to set up camp and we each just hiked along at our own pace until we caught up at the end of the day. It was mid-afternoon and as I rounded a sharp corner in the tiny, narrow mountain ledge trail I encountered a creature standing on the trail in front of an ice fall.It was clearly a primate of some sort. Not huge, between 3 and 4 feet tall. Thick reddish hair like an orangutan. Long arms. We just sort of looked one another over for maybe 10 seconds and then he turned, climbed up the ice fall (maybe 20-25 feet), and vanished over the top. I didn’t feel threatened by him at all, but was very impressed by his speed and agility — he just zoomed up the sheer ice face and was gone. He didn’t seem to be startled and fleeing, just moving on. It left me nonplussed for a few minutes, but eventually I resumed hiking. When I told our Sherpa guide about it, he said it was a Yeti. Although his English was spotty, I got the impression there was a range of animals they considered to be a Yeti, not just the Johnny Quest-type abominable snowman we talk about over here. So whatever else is up there, at least in the early 1980s there were smallish apes with excellent climbing skills." BFNOTE: I talked to the witness and received particular personal details. I'm convinced that his account is true. Lon**********POLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Recent mages of cattle killed in strange circumstances have been spread on social media, as they have not actually been eaten, so people suspect that it was the work of the well-known "Chupacabras" and its last attack was in Veracruz State, Mexico.On social media, it has been indicated that the inhabitants of the Quetzapotitla community, belonging to Tlaquilpa, located in the Zongolica mountain range, in the state of Veracruz, are the presence of a strange animal, which they suspect is the "Chupacabras."It was reported that the animal would be attacking and killing their cows, sheep, and goats, and the concern is so real that, according to the message released, they have formally requested the support of the corresponding authorities.Citizens have reportedly pointed out that the possible "Chupacabra" attacks their cattle by biting and leaving serious wounds on the neck or lower abdomen, going so far as to dismember its victims, something they have captured on their plots.Internet users spread the news about the death of cattle in Veracruz caused by a presumed "Chupacabra"Although the animals are found in this state, the reality is that the entire body of the animals is not devoured or disappears as other natural predators in the region do.Despite the above, some prefer to think that rather than a "Chupacabra." It could be a jaguar or a panther, but the reality is that they do not see it as viable, since the rest of the cattle have no signs of having been injured and in the case of the victims, they were not eaten.Internet users spread the news about the death of cattle in Veracruz caused by a presumed "Chupacabra."In the last few hours, at least 9 dead animals have been reported, so they hope that the municipal police will intervene. However, to make it known to the public, they shared it on social media.Various sources, including imagendeveracruz.mx**********POLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A group of ghost hunters are in an old abandoned Amish community at night in Central Arkansas when a winged creature suddenly flies towards the witness, ending up in a tree.I received the following account:"I was with a group of people recently in Central Arkansas (out in the country) right before dusk. This area has one-lane bridges with gravel roads and no road name signs. Many years ago this had been an Amish community. One of the people I was with had lived there when she was a child. We had returned to the area to go ghost hunting at a cemetery near her old home. None of us are drinkers or drug users and we are all middle-aged. We belong to a local ghost hunter's club but were on our own that night.We arrived well before dusk to make sure we had a good feel for our surroundings. I stepped out of the car and walked maybe 6 feet when I heard the sound of something quickly approaching me. It sounded like wings flapping, but not the same. Hard to describe really. It was on a much larger scale than I had heard before. I quickly turned around and saw this thing headed right for me. I was so scared I could not imagine what I was seeing. I screamed and hit the ground. It flew over my head and landed on a tree limb near me. I looked up and saw it looking down at me, I turned as my friends called my name and ran to me. When I looked back, I couldn't see it. My friends witnessed it as it flew towards me though they didn't see it in the tree.It didn't look the same in the tree that it had looked while flying toward me. In the tree, it looked more like a large worm or snake but much, much larger. It looked as if it had wrapped itself around the tree limb. A bird can't do that. I did look to see if there were any other reports like this in the area but did not find any reports. I am now afraid to go outside before dusk for fear of seeing another one. I have never been scared of ghost hunting. This thing was the most amazing, scariest thing I have ever seen in my life. I pray I never see it again. Do you have any idea what this thing was? A shapeshifter or a Thunderbird maybe? Or a demon? I have no idea." CNOTE: I have no idea what these witnesses observed, but it does seem to be supernatural in some respects.

A West Virginia woman and her daughter are driving in Henderson when they both observe a bizarre white, cow-sized, translucent blob gliding above them. What was it?I received the following account:"I read the article you had listed entitled "Flying Cryptid in County Durham, UK." I live in the USA and saw something very similar to what was described in the article. My sighting occurred in Henderson, West Virginia, approximately 35 years ago (1989).I had been visiting a friend with my daughter and was on my way home in the afternoon. The day was partly sunny with clouds in the sky, but not rainy or misty. We were traveling down an incline in the car and we saw something strange go across the road (from the left side to the right side of the road). I'm not good with distances but it was probably no more than fifty feet from us. The thing described in the article was much smaller than what my daughter and I saw. I watched it disappear and asked my daughter if she had seen anything, and she confirmed that she had seen it also.What we observed was approximately horse or cow-sized and it had a white, translucent appearance, without identifiable head, tail, or appendages. It was just a big oval-shaped airy "blob" that you could see through! This thing was like watching a tiny cloud or a mass of fog move on its own. It was flying or gliding quickly across the road and just disappeared on the other side of the road. It moved straight and did not weave or bobble. We only saw it for maybe 5 seconds. I had never seen anything like it before and haven't seen another one since. I never reported it but I always remembered my sighting and was immediately struck by the similarity of what was reported in the UK.Thanks for your website, it is extremely interesting." PNOTE: Henderson is across the Kanawha River from Point Pleasant, WV. Lon**********POLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

News Hugo Awards Glasgow 2024 Worldcon Disqualifies 377 Fraudulent Hugo Votes The Hugo Administration Subcommittee has released information about the fraudulent ballots for the sake of transparency. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on July 22, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share The Glasgow 2024 Hugo Administration Subcommittee has disqualified 377 votes after finding evidence that the submitted ballots were fraudulent.   “A large number of votes in 2024 were cast by accounts which fail to meet the criteria of being ‘natural persons,’ with obvious fake names and/or other disqualifying characteristics,” the Glasgow 2024 Astounding, Lodestar, and Hugo Administrator, Nicholas Whyte said in a statement. “These included, for instance, a run of voters whose second names were identical except that the first letter was changed, in alphabetical order; and a run of voters whose names were translations of consecutive numbers.” The statement also shared that the committee “received a confidential report that at least one person had sponsored the purchase of WSFS memberships by large numbers of individuals, who were refunded the cost of membership after confirming that they had voted as the sponsor wished.” Because of these findings, Worldcon removed 377 votes out of the 3,813 final ballots they received. The reportedly fraudulent votes tended to favor one finalist, who Worldcon is declining to name because they have no evidence that this person is aware this effort was done on their apparent behalf. Worldcon did share that after the removal of the fraudulent votes, that finalist did not win in their respective category. “We believe that it is important for transparency that we inform you now about what has happened,” the statement continued. “We want to reassure 2024 Hugo voters that the ballots cast were counted fairly. Most of all, we want to assure the winners of this year’s Hugos that they have won fair and square, without any arbitrary or unexplained exclusion of votes or nominees and without any possibility that their award had been gained through fraudulent means.” This news comes after the Chengdu 2023 Worldcon Hugo administrators were censured for listing certain finalists, such as R.F. Kuang’s Babel, as “not eligible” without explanation. The full voting results, nominating statistics, and voting statistics will still be published immediately after the Hugo Awards ceremony on August 11, 2024, but will not include the fraudulent votes in the data. Here is a video from Whyte announcing the news. [end-mark] The post Glasgow 2024 Worldcon Disqualifies 377 Fraudulent Hugo Votes appeared first on Reactor.
