they know from experience that the best time to grab someone (and not be tracked easily) is just before bad weather closes in...

Thanks for the reply trollz. You might be interested in reading "Hunt for the Skinwalker" by Knapp and Keleher. It catalogs several colors of lights and varying responses that the colors evoked from people and animals. It also details a portal opening and a large sasquatch like animal walking out of it.

Just purchased it. I've heard of it a million times but never actually read it.

Question. How would a bear make its way into a town where people were out and about, obviously enjoying the day, without being detected? If it did, why those children and not some other person more readily at hand? The creature had to pass many witnesses as it attempted to make off. Why not grab a closer person? Further, what possessed that young woman to go into harms way to dress down this creature, and where did this power of conviction and fearlessness come from? The Holy Spirit? Again, lay reports and accounts see it in a sort of meat and potatoes way when in fact there could be a spiritual aspect at play.

My opinion (and I stress opinion is as all I have after a few measly decades of observation) is view the phenomena as objectively as possible and not to fall back on the various, competing religious dogmas due to a lack of information and fear.
I have a hunch that swallowing a belief system makes it "real," for better or worse. Curses always work better on those who know about them, and better still if the subject believes. I suppose the good side of belief works, too, but not for the reasons some think. I think consciousness is primary to material reality, though it is hard to discern most of the time.
There are religious who think Bigfoot is an evil creature. There are fringe anthropologists who think it is a spiritually gifted form of human. Either way, fear and belief seem to feed these "paranormal" phenomena. Paranormal is in quotes as their existence informs us it is "normal."
