Crypto of PA

This section discusses the urban legend of 'Black Eyed Children' (or Black-Eyed Kids), described as supposed paranormal creatures resembling children with pale white skin and black eyes, often seen hitchhiking, panhandling, or encountered at homes. Tales of these entities have appeared in pop culture since the late 1990s.

UFORCOP is seeking information on sightings of Panthers, Mountain lions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Large Snakes, Strange Creatures, and Bigfoot within Pennsylvania. Researchers like [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] are listed to receive such information, with the caveat that "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof that they are true."

Pennsylvania Legends

Two local legends are detailed:

  • Dead Man's Creek (Girard, Erie County): The legend recounts the discovery of a dead man in the creek in 1861, dressed in an 1812 military uniform, with a slit throat. His ghost is said to haunt the creek, searching for his killer.
  • Devil's Run (Penfield, Elk County): This tale describes three 18th-century trappers who encountered the Devil. Two escaped, but the third vanished. The ground they fled across became barren, and the area is known as Devil's Run.

UFORCOP: Cold Case Unit

The Cold Case Unit, comprised of independent investigators and researchers across multiple states, is dedicated to reopening and reviewing unsolved cases in Ufology, Crypto Zoology, and the Paranormal. Current cases of interest include the Todd Sees Case (Northumberland, PA), the Kecksburg Incident (Kecksburg, PA), the Brown Mountain Lights (Morganton, NC), the Dyatlov Pass Incident (Dyatlov Pass, RU), and Strange Creatures in Westmoreland County, PA. The unit notes unanswered questions and inconsistencies in timelines, evidence, and witness statements, suggesting that not all is as it seems. Information on these cases can be directed to [email protected].
