Two grouse hunters are in the State Game Land 110 in Berks County‚ Pennsylvania. The conditions were not ideal. One of the hunters spots a large dark figure that suddenly runs toward him!I received the following account:"This took place in the State Game Land 110 in Berks County‚ Pennsylvania in early February of 1991. Two hunters were looking for ruffed grouse along the mountain ridge. The weather was cold and overcast. A foot-thick layer of snow blanketed the ground and an additional inch of ice on the surface made walking difficult. The hunters had to lift their feet high and stomp down to break through the ice with each step.Near midday‚ the witness Dan shot a grouse and called out to his friend. His friend was 75 yards away and took at least 15 minutes to trudge up through the ice and snow. After checking on Dan the friend took another trail back toward the Mountain Top Road where they were parked. Dan stayed where he was for a while. The clouds of his breath circled his face as he heard his friend's footsteps crunching off into the distance.After a quarter-hour of silence‚ Dan remembers that when his friend walked off he heard his footsteps. Dan turned in the opposite direction from his friend and faced downhill along the ridge. While looking down‚ in the distance a large dark figure was running up along the ridge. The figure stopped in a clearing about 100 yards away and seemed to notice Dan. It charged towards him moving even faster than before. The strange figure was running silently‚ not crunchy through the snow‚ silently at full speed up the hill as if the snow and ice weren't there. Dan froze. He knew he couldn't escape as each step was a struggle. His light birdshot ammunition would be useless against the massive creature.The figure stopped about 50 feet away. Dan pointed his shotgun at it hoping to intimidate the potential attacker. At this point‚ he's not really sure what it is. The massive figure didn't flinch‚ didn't make a noise‚ and seemed completely unfazed by having a weapon pointed at it. Now that it was close Dan got a better look at it. He could see that it was at least 7 feet tall and though he couldn't see its face through the long hair he could make out the shadow of its deeply set eyes staring at him.The creature had covered nearly 200 yards uphill through deep icy snow in only 2 minutes and wasn't out of breath. In fact‚ Dan couldn't even see its breath in the cold air. The tall hairy humanoid stared at him completely silent. Dan calmed down and as he realized the figure wouldn't attack. Maybe the creature was sizing him up. After a minute or so it calmly turned back and descended the slope in the direction it had come. The huge beast paused‚ turned back to look at Dan once‚ twisting its upper torso‚ then continued along the ridge line.Dan later met up with his friend on the road. He explained what had happened. His friend‚ who was 6' one inch tall and weighed 200 lbs‚ tried running on the flat even road to recreate what Dan had seen. After three steps he fell flat on his face‚ proving how difficult it was to run in those conditions. Although Dan's friend didn't believe him‚ he didn't argue with him. Dan continues to believe that he encountered a Bigfoot that day."The Messengers: Owls‚ Synchronicity and the UFO AbducteeBook of Alien Races: Secret Russian KGB Book of Alien SpeciesUnexplained Encounters: 10 Modern Day Events That May Never Be Explained: Are You A Believer?

Yes‚ I know the question sounds insane. But you know what question sounds even more insane if you asked it back in 1963? Will the Rolling Stones still be releasing brand new studio albums 60 years later? Yeah‚ you would have been told to smoke another one of thsoe Panama Red funny-looking cigarettes. But here we are in 2023‚ and the Rolling Stones have released probably their strongest album since Some Girls. Mick Jagger sounds like he’s 20-something years old on the album. I’m not just trying to be nice; he sounds great.

The year was 1999‚ and on a late November day the volunteers at the Ningbo Charity Federation in Eastern China found a strange letter addressed to them from an individual referred to only as shun qi zi ran‚ translated roughly to “let nature take its course.” Inside was 50‚000 Chinese RMB‚ or around $7‚000 in remittances—payments […] The post Secret Donor Gives and Gives for 25 Years to Fund Education and Help for Destitute Families in China appeared first on Good News Network.

If you’re a regular reader of Tor.com‚ then there’s a pretty good chance you like movies about aliens. If you’ve already seen the classics of the genre countless times—movies like Alien (1979)‚ The Thing (1982)‚ and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)—and you’re looking for something a little more esoteric‚ then here‚ for your consideration‚ are five alien movies that are hidden gems…   Monsters (2010) Monsters was the feature-length directorial debut of Gareth Edwards and although his subsequent three movies—Godzilla (2014)‚ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)‚ and The Creator (2023)—have made a lot of noise‚ his freshman effort remains underrated. Monsters is set in a post-first contact world‚ taking place six years after a NASA probe crash landed in northern Mexico. Huge cephalopod-like aliens were unleashed from the samples that were aboard‚ and although destruction is all around‚ people have gotten used to the creatures in a “new normal” kind of way. Photojournalist Andrew has been tasked with escorting his boss’s daughter‚ Samantha‚ through the infected zone and back to the U.S. before the border shuts for a six-month quarantine period. A massive wall has been built between the countries in an attempt to keep the aliens in Mexico (the political undertone here is so strong that it’s basically an overtone). Monsters was filmed guerrilla-style‚ and so rather than offering big-budget alien-killing action‚ it feels like a documentary travelogue with a survival element. Andrew and Sam are played by (at the time) real-life couple Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able‚ which means they have genuine onscreen chemistry‚ and most of the other characters in the film are played by locals who the crew met along the way‚ which makes it feel even more authentic. The film’s realism is also aided by the fact that we’re initially given only brief glimpses of the massive tentacled creatures. We see just enough of them to be intrigued‚ but not so much that they lose their impact.   The Vast of Night (2019) Another low-budget feature-length directorial debut making this list is Andrew Patterson’s The Vast of Night. It’s set in the 1950s in the fictional town of Cayuga‚ New Mexico‚ and follows switchboard operator Fay (Sierra McCormick) and radio DJ Everett (Jake Horowitz) as they begin to suspect that there’s something extra-terrestrial in the skies above the town. The film feels like it plays out in real time‚ following Fay and Everett as they spend their evening investigating a strange signal and speaking to people who claim to have encountered aliens. The Vast of Night is an eerie slow burn that left me feeling spellbound. Part of what drew me in were the various smooth tracking shots—one of which clocks in at over four minutes long and breathtakingly travels across the town‚ from the switchboard to the gym to the radio station. How they pulled this shot off is also just as impressive! But the moments of stillness are equally as captivating. Working in tandem with this striking camerawork are the magnetic performances given by our two lead actors‚ with McCormick in particular giving an out-of-this-world (I’m sorry‚ I had to!) performance.   Splinter (2008) I love films where people are trapped in one location by an otherworldly creature or creatures‚ like The Thing (1982) and The Mist (2007)‚ and Toby Wilkins’s Splinter perfectly slots into this category. A couple are driving down a road in the middle of nowhere when they’re carjacked and held hostage by an escaped convict and his girlfriend. They pull into a little isolated gas station‚ but along with road snacks‚ the four travellers find that the one employee has been infected by a black splintery substance‚ and now it’s coming after them. At a taut 82 minutes‚ Splinter is simple yet effective. The origin of the creature/fungus/who-knows-what in Splinter is never actually revealed‚ but it certainly feels alien. It’s like a parasite that controls its host‚ but it doesn’t seem to be aware of how the human body works‚ which leads to some disturbing twisting of limbs. Despite being a low-budget film‚ the largely practical effects look incredible. My one gripe is the over-liberal use of shaky cam‚ which I assume was to cover up flaws in the effects (but doesn’t seem necessary!). That issue aside‚ Splinter is an otherwise solid movie. The group feels like it’s comprised of real people and‚ thankfully‚ they don’t often make stupid decisions just for the sake of moving the plot along. All of the actors do a creditable job‚ but a special shout out has to go to Shea Whigham (best-known as Eli in Boardwalk Empire)‚ whose performance as the criminal is nothing short of fantastic.   The Blob (1988) The Blob may have the most instant name recognition on this list‚ but Chuck Russell’s 1988 remake is definitely underrated‚ having received mixed reviews when it first came out and having been semi-forgotten since. Russell’s film essentially takes the concept of the 1958 original and pushes it as far as it can go in terms of gore. It wouldn’t have been difficult for the pink gelatinous blob creature to come across as silly‚ but instead this thing is aggressive and‚ most importantly‚ it’s ravenous. Technically it’s not as alien in origin as in the original‚ having been created on Earth and then mutated thanks to a little joy ride through space‚ but there’s still some extra-terrestrial flair in there and it’s definitely more threatening than in the original. What makes this movie stand out—and stand the test of time—is its gloriously gory practical effects. There are so many wildly creative deaths throughout the film that are as gleefully fun as they are grotesquely repulsive—take‚ for instance‚ the scene where the Blob pulls someone into a garbage disposal‚ dissolving them on the way down. The Blob is over-the-top and here for a good time‚ something which (in my opinion!) it definitely achieves.   Sputnik (2020) The third and final directorial debut on this list (this wasn’t intentional!) is the Russian-language film Sputnik from Egor Abramenko. Set during the Cold War‚ the film begins with two Soviet cosmonauts crash-landing back on Earth. One of them dies‚ while the other‚ Konstantin (Pyotr Fyodorov)‚ doesn’t seem quite right and is taken to a military facility to be studied helped. Dr. Tatyana Klimova (Oksana Akinshina)‚ a controversial psychiatrist‚ is brought in to examine him and discovers that a not-so-friendly parasitic creature has hitched a ride inside of Konstantin‚ which is every bit as nasty as it sounds. The film mostly feels like a creeping sci-fi thriller‚ but it does occasionally veer into moments of blood-drenched horror. As frightening as the interstellar creature is‚ another horror comes in the form of Colonel Semiradov (Fyodor Bondarchuk)‚ who is in charge of the facility and most definitely does not have Konstantin’s best interests at heart. Sputnik is slow-paced and sinister‚ and it builds towards a tense and thrilling conclusion. ***   Are there any other lesser-known movies featuring aliens that deserve more attention?
