BIGFOOT SHOOTER SPEAKS!

A common depiction of a Bigfoot walking as humans do.

With all the weird news I see daily, THIS story is by far the most fascinating I’ve ever seen.

Cryptomundo.com has transcribed a portion of a radio broadcast featuring a conversation between a talk show host and one of the two hunters said to have killed and captured a bigfoot juvenile in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

His story is amazing and just plain incredible, if true.

Cryptomundo writes:

We saw this creature. It was walking on two legs, hairy. The best way I can describe it is it looked like a person in a suit. Probably 3 or 4 seconds had gone by, and it started to walk towards us, between 80 and 100 yards away…It had its arms in the air and was waving them, almost like, “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot!” Kind of a universal thing in any language. Anybody raises his hands – sign of surrender.

I didn’t know what it was. To me it was just a monster. I’m looking at this monster. By this time I have the bullet in the chamber, my finger on the trigger, and it’s coming towards us, slowly. It’s taking steps, waving.

A lot of people are saying I shot it in the back, but if you have a deer, and you shoot it behind the shoulder, then you’re going to penetrate both lungs. On a person it’s a hard area to describe, but it’s basically right under the shoulder where the lungs are located.

So maybe 5 seconds had passed, and my buddy says, “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot! It’s not a bear. Do not shoot.” And I’m still kind of locked in on this thing. To me it was a monster, that’s all it was.

Here is the entire audio from the broadcast, posted on YouTube.

EVOLUTION IN ACTION; FIRST HYRBRID SHARK EVER!

This hybrid has both Common and Australian black tip shark DNA.

This is pretty darn fascinating! Here’s life showing us how it adapts and evolves no matter what the conditions may be. In this case, nature has “created” a shark that usually lives in warmer waters but, through mating with genetic relatives, is now able to expand its’ range to be able to swim and hunt in cooler waters.

Discovery News writes:

Scientists said on Tuesday that they had discovered the world’s first hybrid sharks in Australian waters, a potential sign the predators were adapting to cope with climate change.

The mating of the local Australian black-tip shark with its global counterpart, the common black-tip, was an unprecedented discovery with implications for the entire shark world, said lead researcher Jess Morgan.

“It’s very surprising because no one’s ever seen shark hybrids before, this is not a common occurrence by any stretch of the imagination,” Morgan, from the University of Queensland, said.

“This is evolution in action.”

HERRING TODAY, GONE TOMORROW

A dog taking a stroll and investigating the large amount of fish that washed ashore.

What’s more mysterious then thousands of Herring washing up dead on a shore in Norway?

How about thousands of herring washing up dead on a shore in Norway then disappearing altogether before anyone attempted a cleanup?! Yeah, I know.

Authorities speculate they all simply just washed out to sea with the tide, but we here at the Museum of the Weird know a cover-up when we see one!

Leave some comments and tell us what you think could be going on here.

The Huffington Post writes:

OSLO, Norway — Tens of thousands of dead herring have carpeted a stretch of coast in northern Norway – and then disappeared again.

The fish appeared on New Year’s Eve, leading to speculation that predators might have driven a huge school ashore or the fish could have been washed onto the beach by a powerful storm that hit Norway on Christmas Day.

Jens Christian Holst of Norway’s Institute of Marine Research says a combination of several factors was the likely explanation.

Locals also started pondering how to clean up the estimated 20 tons of dead fish on the beach in Kvaenes, near Tromsoe, north of the Arctic Circle, before it decayed. But before they could start, the fish disappeared.

Holst said Tuesday the herrings have likely washed back into the North Sea.
