Nope. It’s all absolute nonsense. I get annoyed listening to the SC shows when people start crapping on about nephilim or other religious garbage from the medieval book of fairy stories designed to quell the masses and tell them how to think.
Good video.
It’s laughable that this missionary Walker readily dismisses what the natives were telling him as being merely superstitious mumbo jumbo, when Walker himself was a peddler of baseless unscientific fantasy stories and actual mumbo jumbo – i.e. religion.
Wow, this is all very interesting. Thanks everyone.
I especially cannot understand why the Brits took sparrows everywhere they went because at home they were a massive pest and farmers did their very best to wipe them out! Even now in Britain the sparrow is a ‘red list’ endangered species yet the rest of the world has plenty, haha.
Yes we have massive problems in NZ with introduced and invasive species. The worst are the Australian possums, brought to NZ in the 1800’s and found to grow a lot bigger here in the NZ climate, they were considered a great idea to start a fur industry so the Acclimatisation Society set about spreading them about the country into the native bush. Nowadays here are millions of the little b&^%$@s eating the native bush, and crops and people’s gardens. They’re a huge threat to the native bird life and to tree species.
New Zealand had no mammals except bats, seals and sea lions when man first arrived here. The Maori introduced pigs, dogs and accidentally rats here. And Europeans brought all the other mammals we have, which is a huge array.
Again another massive problem is rabbits which they brought as a food source but they set about decimating a lot of the grass lands and turned a big part of the South Island into a dust bowl. Rabbits got so bad so quickly they then stupidly brought in ferrets, stats, and weasels to combat them. They too have attacked the native birds and had little impact on the rabbits.
The govt was also gifted several species of American and Japanese deer by Teddy Roosevelt, plus we have chamois and Himalayan Thar, wild goats, feral cats, rats and all sorts out there changing the landscape.
On the plant side of things the worst would be thistles brought from Scotland and gorse brought from Britain to use as hedges but they both have spread like wildfire. We have thousands of introduced plants but most are fine. Some are a menace.
I think if I could step back to pre-human New Zealand it would be largely unrecognisable. And probably a bit boring and lacking in colour. It’s amazing how much the landscape has changed in the past couple of hundred years due to man’s intervention.
I think it would be better if the forum could be split into two boards, one for Sasquatch discussion, and the other for all the off topic posts. The Sasquatch threads seem to disappear from the front pages fast these days.
Denise F, as it seems to be a regular occurrence, it sounds like you need to get someone with a decent quality video camera to go along to that lake and capture some HD footage. Has anyone tried that yet?
Stephanie G, that is rather scary!
I just started listening to Episode 475, the second episode with Bill Sheehan reading stories from his books, and he read The Pheasant Hunter. Again there’s a large thicket of brambles and briers that he sent his dog into in the hope it would flush out pheasants. The brambles were so thick they could not hear the dog in there. Then it started yelping and suddenly out of nowhere a nine foot “booger” stepped out of the brambles. The hunter gave him both barrels of his shotgun into the booger’s chest, with no effect. He said it then ran through the brambles in a way a man could never do, then vanished.
There could easily have been tunnels in there too! What do you think?
Thanks Cyndie R, it must be Bear I was thinking of from the early SC show, from one of his early appearances.
“I’m not sure how you can tell its much bigger.”
Because the brown one seems to be exposed from the waist up, and the darker one just from the chest up. But I guess the grass in the field could be a different length.
That one you just found, which is an earlier video, is much bigger than the ‘creature’ in the original video. what a shame the quality is too low to see what it really is.
Jeez that stone hit hard, I am glad that was not anybody’s head it hit!
In that recording was that some sort of howling in the distance at the beginning? And I am guessing the murmured voices were human? What are the other jungle noises? Are some birds, or all insects? Just those noises alone would keep me out of the woods!
