Ep 185: Correlation of Strangeness with Stan Gordon
"...their attention is drawn to a barbed-wire fence about 75 feet away, along that barbed wire fence are these two huge upright hair-covered, man-like creatures, ape, like, man-like, they couldn't tell exactly. Arms are so long they’re hanging down almost to the ground and they’re covered in long dark matted hair hanging off the body. They have no neck. They have luminous green, glowing eyes, and they're making this loud baby crying wind noise.”
– Renown UFO and Paranormal Investigator, Stan Gordon, describing a case which occurred just outside of Uniontown, PA, on the night of October 25, 1973
Description:
In the continuation of our interview with esteemed UFO and paranormal investigator Stan Gordon, he relays case studies that indicate that the event at Kecksburg may have been merely one incident in a long and continuing saga of High Strangeness. In his 61 years of research so far, beginning in 1959 at the age of ten, Stan has interviewed thousands of UFO witnesses and hundreds of people who've claimed to confront Bigfoot. In the decades of data collection and analysis, reaching a crescendo with the Pennsylvania UFO "Flap" of 1973 and continuing to this day, a startling and incomprehensible pattern began to emerge. Many of these accounts of two traditionally thought of as disparate types of phenomena, UFOs and Bigfoot, occurred in the same places and within days, hours, or minutes of each other. In a few of the most bizarre cases, Bigfoots appeared to interact with a UFO encounter, as if one may be responsible for the other. Yet reports over the years weren't limited to these two favorites of Forteana. Stan had also investigated connected reports of other cryptid sightings, strange environmental phenomena, spirit activity, and had himself come across footprints of 3 and 4-toed unnatural creatures, along with classic Bigfoot tracks that inexplicably stop as if the being had vanished. A significant number of reports originate in the Chestnut Ridge region, an approximately 75 mile-long westernmost ridge of the Allegheny Mountains extending into West Virginia. However, incidents have spread out like a virus over the decades to cover most of Pennsylvania. Some paranormal researchers would be hesitant to publicly consider an association between these marvels or even scoff at the notion. But a lifetime of investigation leaves Stan with the conclusion that a mind-blowing connection between these cases indeed exists. That these connections would be statistically unreasonable to ignore, and this camp of thinking is growing. As we conclude this interview, one might be wondering, what are the implications if a correlation is real, and if it is, is Chestnut Ridge, the Skinwalker Ranch of Pennsylvania?
