...Thanks for the comment Paul,<br /><br />That wasn't a typo.<br /><br />I myself have barfed furiously on many occasion and have brought fear to the heart of many...<br /><br />I know, this story is an oddball...though I have a whole lot more that have been told to me that strain the realms of credibility even more, but they have come from honest and sane (I think) people.<br /><br />Of course I can be gullible and naive at times.

But this is the least believable story so far(I'm reading everything in order). We have a family who seems to have a month long relationship with an extraordinary creature and yet they never try to take a picture of it? At the least, I would want to see a snapshot of the hole in the tree with all the little bones scattered around. I assume they have a camera somewhere considering how recent this is purported to be (and they have things like 40 ft. ladders). And I can't even believe they would burn it, that was convenient. I'm sure as Frank was lighting it on fire his kids were protesting, but Frank told them, "I'm sorry Rusty, but DNA testing is just too expensive" or "Hey Russ, do'ya wanna go to jail for me?" Like DNA would really be a deciding factor in not burning newly discovered species, or they would really fear being convicted of murder from something their dog did. <br /><br />But the rest of your blog so far has been solid, exceptionally well written, and for the most part very convincing, especially the personal experiences. Keep up the good work Pastor Swope!<br /><br />-Paul R.Paul R.http://www.youtube.com/user/lordofyourmindnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-89456531406075335122008-11-24T05:19:00.000-05:002008-11-24T05:19:00.000-05:00I think that its tragic that this obviously intell...I think that its tragic that this obviously intelligent creature was allowed to be slaughtered by the home owners dog, whatever it was, its "home" was intruded upon and it was simply trying to defend the sanctity of its home and right to life, its a sad commintary that man inevitably labels as evil and destroys that which it fears or does not understand, the question here is who was the evil party, the goblin in the tree who was obviousley there first or the ignorance of uneducated fear that allowed it to be murdered to be drug off and burned like so much trash, and to think, we are suppost to be the advanced and civilized species hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-80750790914933383882008-11-21T22:16:00.000-05:002008-11-21T22:16:00.000-05:00Nice story,Pastor!I enjoy reading up on the subjec...Nice story,Pastor!<BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading up on the subjects of paranormal and crime,but I would not want direct involvement. <BR/><BR/>I wonder why some patches of earth are spookier than others.

Of course, it was an actual squirrel and not a demonic entity but it did used to chase us and throw nuts at us from its perch. It actually chased my mom all the way to the house one time, chattering angrily the whole way. Must be something with squirrels in Cleveland.

Lets just think for one second, as pastor swope says it could have been before DNA testing was available, And lets just think about the possibilites that it may have actually been a human of sorts living in the tree, and it was killed by the dog, or a neighbours pet. Its sometimes some peoples instinct to get rid of the evidence and forget it all happened. And lets also not forget that it may also be a shame thing to have evidence of their dog attacking something in their front lawn, most people would want to clean up the mess pretty quickly before their neighbours see it and start asking questions.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274847608393046493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-39693057106990111092008-11-16T08:48:00.000-05:002008-11-16T08:48:00.000-05:00Thanks for the comment Anonymous,I just write them...Thanks for the comment Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>I just write them as I get them with just a little dramatic verbage. Although the e-mail did nit specify when this happened she did say it happened a few years ago. Could have been before DNA analysis was so widespread and commonplace. Remember that DNA techniques did not become truly affordable until the last seven years or so. <BR/><BR/>My personal standard is that if the person is brave enough to share the fantastic with me I will relate it the way they said it happened. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the insightful comment!Pastor Swopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008265694116146151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-49458940687498271042008-11-16T08:37:00.000-05:002008-11-16T08:37:00.000-05:00Creepy! The little creature reminds me on a story ...Creepy! The little creature reminds me on a story I heard about a year ago...There is a place somewhere in northern Arizona that has become a natural burial ground. First, people noticed that animals would bring their lame or dead young to this place. The Native Americans had always treated the area with awe and respect and noted that it was a natural burial ground. There were even rumors dating back to the 1800's of humans leaving their unwanted babies there. Groups of teens who partied in the area swore they heard tiny little footprints in the woods, sounds like cats crying, and once in a while, a full moon would reveal teeny tiny little forms walking on two legs through the brush. The creatures were quiet and fast so no matter how many tired, one was never caught.<BR/><BR/>Then, in the 90's, a developer came along and started plowing the trees to clear the way for a neighborhood. About halfway back into the forest, the crew came upon hundreds of tiny white crosses painted on trees, on rocks, on the ground. The men described the scene as "creepy". The developer waited until the state could come in and examine the area to find out an explaination of the tiny crosses. It didn't take long to confirm the rumors associated with that place. They pulled the remains of hundreds of human infants and fetuses from the ground. <BR/>Researchers found that the limited recorded history of the area showed that Native Americans and animals had indeed avoided that place, except to come place their dead and dying offspring. (remember back before modern medicine that unwanted infants or "retarted", malformed infants were thrown away) But researchers also found that a medical facility in Pheonix, which specialized in abortions, had been dumping it's medical waste in the area. "Medical Waste" being the poor aborted fetuses. <BR/><BR/>A few years later, locals still tell stories of the demon babies thrown away and how one day they'll come for revenge. <BR/><BR/>I remembered this story because it really touched something in me...even before I was a mom! The abortion part bothers me, but most disturbing to me was the thought that live infants were left to the elements in those woods. Babies are so helpless and innocent.

They keep turning up and seem to have a constistantly nasty temperment. I wonder what they are? Some kind of fairy, or goblin , or some other such thing? Are they a "natural" being, like a squirel, that are under our radar like bigfoot? Or are they some sort of physical manifestation of something that normally exists in amother plane of existance like a demon.<BR/><BR/>I ready a book by Malachi Martin about exorcism where I think I recal him talking about some low level demonic entities having a similar look to the "evil squirel" where they look sort of human in a thrown together sort of way, with the face like a grotesque patchwork of human features that are not quite right.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-47240549595824812692008-11-13T16:03:00.000-05:002008-11-13T16:03:00.000-05:00Pastor Swope-Could you PLEASE write more often?I c...Pastor Swope-<BR/>Could you PLEASE write more often?<BR/>I check your site every day and it's difficult to wait so long between posts.<BR/>I'm addicted!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-52584898393841212212008-11-13T15:42:00.000-05:002008-11-13T15:42:00.000-05:00Awesome story indeed, Swope.
