Fayette County Bigfoot Photo and what it means for the Patterson Footage

Bob Gymlan 2022-11-24 | This video is about a photo that was taken in October of 2019. Billy and Sheena's property has a history of sightings, and a skeptic became a believer the afternoon that the photo was taken. Obviously, we all wish the photo was better but I think we're getting there! If wishes were fishes, we'd all be in the ocean.

I get into the Patterson Film in this video, which I hadn't really been expecting, but I definitely think it's worth a consideration.

I hope you enjoy this video!

Bigfoot News! The Mogollon Monster Photo Breakdown

Bob Gymlan 2022-10-23 | This video is about a photo of an alleged bigfoot, taken in Arizona. Creatures of this description are known in the region as Mogollon Monsters--named after some infamous reports from the Mogollon Rim.

There are two competing origin stories for this photo--which I will expand upon in the video.

I don't particularly like photo or video analysis because anything can be anything-else, but this particular photo has some fascinating details.

I know these videos take me forever, so know I appreciate your patience!

Interview With a Witness to Prolonged Bigfoot Habitation Founder of Midwest Bigfoot Researchers

Bob Gymlan 2022-07-03 | My Introduction: 0:00
Cameras Rolling: 0:56
Interview Start: 3:25
My Analysis of Randy’s BF description: 45:03

This is good chunk of my interview with Randy, the Founder of Midwest Bigfoot Researchers. In 1977, when he was ten years old, Randy had an incredible encounter with a juvenile sasquatch. The ensuing events inspired a life long search for these magnificent creatures.

I highly encourage you to watch this video on the narrative itself first.
You can find that here:

I'm still not really sure what to make of this saga, as is the case with most of the topics I cover, but fortunately, I recorded our discussions so that you can judge for yourself.

Against my better judgement, I decided not to edit the interview down to the 'good parts.' Whenever I watch an interview that is highly edited, I always wish they would've let it alone. That's why it is in it's unabridged form. Plus, I think it's important to get the whole story and see what Randy is like.

One note on the technical end, the microphone I had on Randy made the squeaking of his chair sound like the bugels of the undead elk, so I only used the audio from my microphone and therefore, I isolate his audio, so you hear all of my little contributions. Sorry about that.

This is incredible.

The Most Incredible Bigfoot Encounter Ever Told

Bob Gymlan 2022-06-26 | I met with a witness to bigfoot in the spring of 2019. Nothing could have prepared me for the story I heard. I have been struggling with this video for literally years, but I figured it's time to just do it one way or the other.

All the Illustrations in this narrative are drawn by the witness himself, Randy Cutrara. He was only ten years old when this all went down, so the drawings were made to help him understand the experience. He refers to this incident as the Monster of Morse Lake.

I decided to break this video into two parts. In this video, I go over the narrative. In part two, I let Randy tell it in his own words.

This is the most unbelievable story I've ever believed. I don't feel like I'm skilled enough to do this story justice, but I tried my best, and sometimes that is the best a person can do.

The First Photo of Bigfoot and the Origin of the Great Bigfoot Cover Up

Bob Gymlan 2022-04-03 | This photo was taken in 1894, over a century ago. It was taken in British Columbia. It was first revealed in the late 1970s. Many mysterious photos float around the internet and 99% of them are bunk. This one is not.

Perhaps more important than the photograph itself, is what is written on the back. Because it indicates what has long been suspected. This photo, quite simply put, is one of many topics in the field Bigfoot that is rarely discussed, but just may be the real deal.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.

Unsettling Bigfoot Activity in Georgia Fan Illustrated

Bob Gymlan 2022-03-20 | This video is about one of the first viewer submissions I ever recieved. I made a video about it in 2017, in my pre-illustrator days, but I've always wanted revisit it. This video is new audio and illustration, only the events are the same. It's one of my favorite bigfoot encounters of all time.

This episode is illustrated by a fan of the channel named Adrian Flores, while Fred finishes up a gigantic project that I think you will all really like, and potentially, has been uploaded by the time you're reading this. :)

Thank you.

Twenty Years of High Strangeness in Ontario Fan Illustrated

Bob Gymlan 2022-03-13 | This video is about a user submission I received a couple of years ago. It is about a young man's strange experiences in Ontario, that began with one summer, but turned into twenty years of strangeness, with each aspect less explainable than the next.

This video is illustrated by a fan of the channel named Adrian Flores, while Fred finishes up a gigantic project that I think you will all really like, and potentially, has been uploaded since the time I'm typing this. :)

Bigfoot: the Odds of Verification, Belief, Time, Terms, and More...

Bob Gymlan 2021-12-19 | While I wait for my Illustrator to complete a massive project that I'm super excited about, I thought it would be worthwhile to take a look at some factors that influence the bigfoot discussion.

In this video, I discuss odds, terms, time, and more.

Bigfoot: Photographic Evidence and Environmental Awareness

Bob Gymlan 2021-12-12 | While my Illustrator and I work on a massive project, I had to dip into the vaults to put something together in the interim. This video is about the odds of capturing quality photographic evidence of bigfoot, and a little narrative about environmental awareness.

The photo part is to illustrate why documenting an encounter may not be as easy as many would suggest. And the narrative is about environmental awareness, and gives insight into the capacity of thought that you and I (and perhaps something else entirely) are capable of.

I'm not in love with this video. Usually I only post videos if I'm more fond of them than I am of this one, but seeing as I'm knee deep in a many-moons project, I figured something is better than nothing. I hope you get something out of it!

Thank you.

El Pombero: South Americas Surprisingly Likely Bigfoot-Cousin

Bob Gymlan 2021-10-24 | This video is about the Pombero. South America's diminutive bigfoot-cousin. The legend of the Pombero goes back to at least 500 years, which is as far as we have the potential to know. Even still, people in the south-central region of South America take the matter surprisingly seriously...

In this video, I discuss how the local perception of the Pombero is percisely what we should expect, were the creature a flesh and blood animal, and then, I'll discuss whether or not our knowledge of fossil primates supports or refutes it's existence. I'll also go over some footage, but don't get too excited about that...

Bigfoot: Classification, Intelligence, Sentience, and Situations of Bigfoots Origin

Bob Gymlan 2021-09-12 | This video harkens back to my earlier style. No narrative, just bigfoot speculation. I realized this has been missing in my life so you'll see more of it soon.

And I had a lot of fun making it. This video will cover an alleged creature’s potential classification, sentience, intelligence, the fossil record, and a lot more contextual clues that just may indicate, what to many, is already obvious.

You may be able to tell that I had some fun with this video. That’s because I did, and I look forward to making more like this in the near future.

The FULL Story of the Monster at Enfield

Bob Gymlan 2021-08-22 | The saga of what has come to be known as the Enfield Monster, or Horror, took place in Enfield Illinois, in 1973. Like many of the musty corridors of Fortean lore, this particular flap leaves more questions than answers, and the explanations range from the likely, to the impossible.

If nothing else, this tale goes to show that sometimes, the accepted explanations are just as perplexing as the alternative.

We'll never know what happened here, but the events of Illinois in 73 are an essential piece of Americana's cryptid-lore.

A Trio of Bigfoot Sightings; the Cornfield Creature, the Dog-Snatcher, and the Cartoon Monkey.

Bob Gymlan 2021-08-01 | I received a report from a man who had a bigfoot sighting in the year 2000. After this sighting, his grandparent's sighting from 1977 seemed a bit more credible, and those sightings made his girlfriend's sighting in 2017 seem like no surprise.

In this video, read all three reports, and then give my take on the matter of sightings vs reported sightings. Because I find it fascinating that in this particular instance, of four witnesses, only one felt the need to dig a little deeper.

And thank you all so much for your support and viewership!

Audio of a Bigfoot Encounter from 1977

Bob Gymlan 2021-08-01 | I recently spoke with a bigfoot witness whose grandma also had a bigfoot sighting, in 1977. My contact was kind enough to briefly record her using his phone. The following is that recording.

In about an hour I’ll be upload the full video which goes into greater detail, but I thought this little clip would be worthwhile as a standalone video. Of course, statistically speaking, it will be uploaded by the time you’re reading this.

Most incidents of this nature are never reported. Period. And as I often opine, if just one of these innumerable incidents actually happened, then our understanding of everything is incorrect.

That is all. Thank you 😊

UFO Report From Mosinee Wisconsin, 1969, Taken by J. Allen Hynek Police Report Included.

Bob Gymlan 2021-06-27 | This video is about an alleged UFO (or flying saucer) report that occurred in May in of 1969, in Mosinee Wisconsin. Many factors go into this report, and the event's interpretation has as much to do with your nature as it does with the event itself.

The report was conducted by (then not-so-famous) J. Allen Hynek, and compiled by Ufologist Robert Mercer. Link to the original document below.

I was working on this video when four UFO photos were taken in Montello Wisconsin. So this video sort of compliments my prior video (or the other way around.)

It's all very strange, and I'd have it no other way.

Incredible—NEW—UFO Photos from Wisconsin—June, 2021

Bob Gymlan 2021-06-20 | I found some incredible photos of what is definitionally, a UFO. They were taken on June 13, 2021 in Montello, Wisconsin. They were captured by a fellow youtuber (channel called HomeSteadHow.) I'll put a link below.

The images are particularly interesting to me because I live pretty near to where the photos were taken, and I have also witnessed some fairly unusual phenomena in the sky, and I'm grateful someone captured them on camera.

In this video, I go over the circumstance of the photos, the photos themselves, and I elaborate a little bit about myself. This video was 'impromptu' for me. I didn't really outline or write up my talking points, so I hope you all enjoy that style.

Thank you for reading, and a big thank you to HomeSteadHow!

Keep your eyes to the sky!

The Monster of Lake Tota

Bob Gymlan 2021-05-30 | This video is about a creature that allegedly inhabits the largest lake in Colombia, Lake Tota. I'm skeptical of lake monster claims, but the creature's origin, mythology, history, and context is certainly fascinating.

A few notes.
#1. I watched three docs on the Muisca, every expert pronounced it differently: Moose-ee-kuh, Mew-Skuh, Music-huh. I couldn’t find a single British expert saying it out loud, so I can’t be certain which is correct. (that was a joke, but damn do they have credibility with pronunciation)

#2. I spent all night cobbling this together. I’m not certain if the video at 1:22 is intentional or not… It seems like an accident, but it kind of makes sense. So…

#3. Can you find the hidden lions?

The FULL Story of Spring Heeled Jack and The Hammersmith Ghost

Bob Gymlan 2021-05-09 | This video is about two, what I think is fair to call, "Humanoid Cryptids." They are the legendary Spring Heeled Jack, and the lesser known Hammersmith Ghost. The accounts in this video took place between 1803 and 1879.

Both of these entities offer folkloric and cultural implications, and have rooted themselves in our understanding of the Victorian Era. However, some aspects of their description seem to be inconsistent with their time. Which is interesting.

These legendary entities may be just that: Legends. However, a technical analysis of the descriptions paints a picture that may indicate something else. People were reporting concepts that did not exist, yet.

Anyway, as often happens, this video just kind of kept going, and may ramble a bit at times. I hope you enjoy it regardless.

The Chupacabra, the Vampire of Moca, and the Modern-Day Nightmare of GMAs.

Bob Gymlan 2021-03-25 | This video is about the modern-day cryptid known as the Chupacabra. Which dates back as recently as 1995. The story becomes a bit more compelling when taking into account similiar reports twenty years earlier; reports of the Vampire of Moca. In this video, I discuss the reports, origin, theories, and implications of the alleged island-dwelling cryptid.

Whether or not the creature stalked the pastures of Puerto Rico, there is much to be said regarding the precedent for such a creature. And if the creature resulted from manufacture, the real question becomes--Why?

Anyway, as often happens, this video just kind of kept going, and may ramble a bit at times. I hope you enjoy it regardless.

Bigfoot Sighting at a War Reenactment

Bob Gymlan 2021-01-03 | I received a report from a man who had a strange cryptid encounter in northern Florida. He was participating in a war reenactment. Is this sighting plausible? Is it consistent with other reports in the some vein? Who knows what lurks in dark places?

Due to persistent comments, I also elaborate a little bit about my process.

I have two all-time most requested videos in the works. I think you'll be very excited.

Bigfoot Footage from Vancouver

Bob Gymlan 2020-11-01 | This video is about some bigfoot footage taken on Vancouver Island in 2013, but only released recently. My breakdown (like most things I do) is a little different than most breakdowns out there. I try to examine the aspects, big and small, of the footage in general. To me, this film is less than conclusive, but it is still certainly interesting. Feel free to let me know what you think, and original links below. Thank you Gulf IslandRock!

The Kelly Extraterrestrial Incident AND Thoughts on Disclosure

Bob Gymlan 2020-08-02 | This topic has been requested for a while, so I decided to give it a shot. In 1955, creatures" visited a small house in Kentucky.
The creatures have been called "aliens," "goblins," and "little green men." This event remains one of the most famous and disputed events in American Folk Lore.
This is one of the many situations wherein the attempts to discount the incident are even more absurd than the incident itself.
I get a little more 'ranty' in this video than I usually like to, but what the hey?

The Shipton Yeti Prints and why theyre Probably Real

Bob Gymlan 2020-06-21 | This video is about some unusual tracks photographed and documented by mountaineer and explorer Eric Shipton in 1951 on his quest to reach the yet untouched summit of Mount Everest. Critics say they are simply tracks left behind by a common animal that have been dramatically taken out of proportion. But Shipton wasn't so certain. And his Sherpa guides certainly had their own opinions.
This video contains some classic cryptid lore, as well as some good old fashioned drama from two of the most prolific mountaineers of the last century. What could be better?
The fact remains that these tracks have never been understood, and I certainly think they're worth some scrutiny. Are they some of the best evidence to date? Or are they rabbit tracks?

The Sasquatch on the Deer Stand and the Little Stonehenge

Bob Gymlan 2020-05-17 | This is my take on a user submission I received a while ago. A young man had a strange encounter in the woods of Northern Kentucky. The first part of the video, I retell the encounter from his perspective, and I give my take on it in the second part.
I am so grateful to receive so many of these from viewers like you, I wish I had the time to make a video on all the submissions I receive. Maybe some day.

The Jake Bird Hex

Bob Gymlan 2020-05-10 | This is a true story about a curse that was cast in the 1947. The man was Jake Bird. It is a lesser known tale of the paranormal world. My initial plan was to upload this last Halloween, but I disliked it so much that I decided against it. But now, since we're all bored out of our wits, I figured a video is better than no video. If nothing else, this video is a reminder that we should never take our lives and happiness for granted.

Don't worry, I will not add videos like this to my usual rotation.

Old Fables for Well-Being

Bob Gymlan 2020-05-03 | This video contains 3 very old short stories that have come in many forms throughout the centuries. You may call them folktales, fables, or parables. These are just a reminder as to the good in life, and the importance of virtue.

Times are rough right not and everyone seems wound so tight. I thought it would be nice to hearken back to a more simple time.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy them!

Ex-Cryptids and the FULL saga of the Bili Ape

Bob Gymlan 2020-03-29 | In this video, I will discuss 3 animals that were once considered to be cryptids. It is a demonstration on cryptozoology. The very real creatures are the Coelacanth , the Giant Squid, and the Bili Ape. All three creatures have unique properties that helped them develop a mythology of their own. Of particular note, is the Bili Ape, so much has been said about them, and I hope this video solidifies the long and drawn saga. They are fascinating, but not for the reasons that many people may think.

The Mysore Bear

Bob Gymlan 2020-03-15 | This story is about a bear. The story of this particular bear comes from an author named Kenneth Anderson. It takes place in India. I tell the narrative of this peculiar bear, and then talk about my opinions on some intriguing ecology behind Sloth Bear, and then some startling implications. Implications that make you wonder.
I hope you enjoy it!

Most Credible Bigfoot Witnesses and Some of the Best Evidence to Date

Bob Gymlan 2020-03-01 | In order to understand the topic of Bigfoot, I think it is important to understand the motivations behind the people who introduce the subject to the world. This video will explain why two of the most prolific contributors to the field do what they do.
This video will touch on some curiosities regarding common reports, as well as the experiences of some of the best known figures on the subject.
I am not so great with graphics, but I tried my best!
I wish I could have been more specific, but not all of the evidence discussed is mine to share.

Lions of Tsavo vs. Raptor Pack

Bob Gymlan 2019-12-21 | This video is an imaginative way of depicting a conflict that couldn't actually happen. It is the Lion's of Tsavo vs. Deinonychus. It is an interesting match up, and "personality" plays a big role.
I thought of it after having my wisdom teeth removed, and decided it would make a fun video for you, and prove a challenge for my Illustrator Fred Dunn!
I had a lot of fun with it, I hope you enjoy it too.
I was going to edit out the dialogue parts because I don't like how it turned out, but what the hey?
Anyway, I'm excited to get back to basics in 2020.

A Christmas Horror Story

Bob Gymlan 2019-12-08 | Young, lost, alone, and stranded in the winter-wilderness...
I made a video to try and capture the Christmas spirit, while remaining on theme.
This is my first video that is purely fiction. It is not based on any actual event or anyone I've spoken with. I wrote the bare bones of it a very long time ago. Back in the good old days when I wrote like no one was listening.
The point was to include as many factors and motifs that truly capture-- horror. Sometimes, creatures (imagined or otherwise) can't compare to the every day turmoil.
As a note if you're interested; I originally wrote the part of Jess as a male, and Zack as female. But I saved myself a headache by changing it. Saying "he" and "she" proved more efficient than "the younger," "the older," "father," "son," etc.
Thank you so much!

Cryptid Encounters: Sprinter, The Face, The Monkey, Tree-Hugger

Bob Gymlan 2019-10-31 | This video contains 4 reports of cryptic encounters I'v received over the years. I wish I could give all of your stories the time and attention they deserve, but there simply isn't enough time in the day. In the near future, I am moving forward with more historic reports and tales.

Also I threw in a bonus 'paranormal video' that didn't make the cut for my last video. But maybe some of you will enjoy it. No need to waste it, I guess.

I also want to mention what I mean by "Abridged, Edited, & Illustrated."

When I receive a report, or submission, it is rarely in a format prepared to simply be read. There are usually many follow up emails and conversations. Technically these are stories that I have "written." Though the events and wording are as accurate as possible to what I received.

The FULL Story of the Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo

Bob Gymlan 2019-09-24 | This is my retelling of one of the most fascinating wildlife conflicts in history. The Lions of Tsavo. I know it is a little off topic from what I normally do, but it's been one of my favorite verified historical accounts for years now. Plus with my Illustrator, (Fred Dunn of DreadFun) I couldn't help myself. Though I'm first to admit, this video spiraled out of control a bit. I wish I had more time to spend on editing and reviewing, but I simply cannot dedicate any more time to this, as I have an exciting October fast approaching.

People have grown skeptical of J.H. Patterson's account, but I try to prove that his numbers and retelling of events is more conservative than you may think.
A few additional notes, I'm already preparing for people to tell me "that's not how it happened!" but please note, all the information regarding the narrative comes from Patterson's autobiography of the events. Therefore, if something doesn't match up to what you have seen (from Hollywood,) please understand that I'm not wrong, I utilized only the first hand account.
I also used Patterson's words for things now called other things. For example, Tsavo River is no longer called that. And we know lions don't have "tusks" but that's what Patterson calls the lion's teeth.

Another note, this is realistic, and educational. Conflicts happen. And resolution must come one way or another.

Sasquatch of the Driftless Forests

Bob Gymlan 2019-08-22 | In this investigation, I meet up with a fellow YouTuber. He has had two definitive Sasquatch sightings in a region known as the "Driftless Area." He has been so affected by his experiences that he was inspired to create his own channel. He is searching for answers and has me intrigued.
In this video, I will go over several of his encounters, and my thoughts on the matter. This was my second boots on the ground investigation and I cannot wait to return to the Drfitless Area in October!

Bigfoot Hunter Fires Shots in Kentucky

Bob Gymlan 2019-08-22 | Recently in the news, headlines were made when a bigfoot researcher in Kentucky fired at something unknown in Mammoth Cave National Park. Nothing came of it, as usual. Two campers found the incident a lot to take in, so they called the authorities. No charges were filed, and it makes you wonder why.

Classic Bigfoot Activity in Texas

Bob Gymlan 2019-07-11 | I spoke with a witness who believes that he and his family experienced bigfoot activity in central Texas. His family bought a house to flip that had been abandoned for a number of years. They soon learned why. This is a classic bigfoot report in my opinion because it represents how effective these creatures can be, with limited interaction.

Great Apes, Game Cameras, And The Bigfoot Implications

Bob Gymlan 2019-05-07 | I discuss a study that examines how great apes in equatorial Africa respond to game cameras. The study indisputably asserts that great apes notice game cameras and have species specific reactions to them. The results speak volumes to the nature of a creature that may take it to the next level.
