Paranormal and Crypto-zoology Focus

"Paranormal Tips - Tools of the Trade" section includes a retelling of the "PENNSYLVANIA LEGENDS - BLOODY MARY" story, originating from Harrisburg, Dauphin County. The legend describes an old crone who lived in the woods, accused of witchcraft and child disappearances, who cursed anyone who spoke her name while looking in a mirror.

• "In The News" section addresses two topics:
• A photograph of two Bigfoot allegedly taken in Pennsylvania's Kinzua State Park, Bradford PA, is presented, with a question about its authenticity.
• The Loch Ness Monster photo taken by a cruise boat skipper is confirmed as a hoax, admitting to faking it with a fiberglass hump.
• A report on a Bigfoot sighting by woodsman John Stoneman is discussed, with a tipster suggesting the photo might be of a tree stump. The creature was described as larger than a bear with a different body shape. The article is attributed to Daniel Miller.

"Crypto-zoology Information in Pennsylvania" provides contact information for researchers interested in sightings of Panthers, Mountain lions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Large Snakes, Strange Creatures, and Bigfoot.
