This is Dan Bell


If you enjoy the thrill of exploring abandoned locations might I recommend “This is Dan Bell” YouTube channel.  Although he is not out seeking ghosts and spirits he certainly picks some of the creepiest locations to document.  Dan is also really good at camera work and cinematic editing to really drive home the eeriness of these locations.  Definitely worth a look to any urban explorer.

Bigfoot Proof?

I'm a huge skeptic of most of the paranormal/supernatural genera but I find cryptos to be the most plausible since every year science is still finding more species of life. 


I'm also a big fan of Les Stroud and his show Survivor Man.  Not really a fan of his harmonica but I have respect for his skills.  However the Survivor Man: Bigfoot series really left a bad taste in my mouth and kind of lowered his credibility with me.  During the time this was made bigfoot hunting programs were very hot and it seemed more like an attempt at a cash grab.  He often seems a little uncomfortable with what he is saying.


Here Les tries to show what he is calling proof by showing the odd conglomeration of fallen trees that he is calling a bigfoot signpost.  He's saying how could a winter storm make the trees fall in this way?  It sounds like his assumption is this all happened during one event but realistically this could have happened over a number of years.


The other issue I have with this is even if you were a bigfoot why would you expend so much energy moving these huge trees just to say, "Berries this way?"  Wouldn't it be something far more subtle?  Even for a large ape that's a hell of a lot of work.


I feel it was just a sequence of tree falls.
