Large Humanoid Footprints - May 24, 2011 & May 26, 2012 - Seasonal/Migratory Return?

Here's an interesting discovery I made while typing up a post originally intended to document only one footprint that I had found on May 26 of this year. Here's the info on that print:

"It is a large (15 inches) humanoid footprint in the mud. I still find it very bizarre that I didn't find any others (of that size anyways, there was 1 other but much smaller), but the muddy area it was in has many MANY roots from nearby trees that if one planned his steps carefully, could step on to avoid stepping into the mud. Here are the photos. Unfortunately, it seems that a blob of mud had landed right where the toes were. This still bothers me to this day."

Now I was going to reference a very similar print that I had found last year, and compare the similarities, but when I went to our Youtube page to pull up the video to take a screenshot, I realized the date I found that print on. May 24, 2011. Almost exactly one year apart. Was this some kind of seasonal migratory return to this area as it passed through? I'm not sure. One interesting detail is that the 2011 print was 13 inches long, and the eerily similar one I found just two days after the one year anniversary of that print was 15 inches long. Whatever it was seems to have grown in that one year period. Very strange. There's not too much else I can add to this, so here's the 2011 print (one photo showing the outline of the print because it is very hard to see in the original photo - it was more of an impression in the leaves than a defined footprint. And another that is untouched), followed by a comparison showing both the 2011 and 2012 prints side by side.

Has the "Werewolf" of Northeastern Illinois Returned?

Nearly 5 years to the day of the original bipedal canine sighting not even 700 yards away, the original witness spots a large dog like creature bounding down a trail along a treeline. Even stranger, this location is 32.8 miles away from the famous Bray Road in Elkhorn Wisconsin, where the "Beast of Bray Road" (who matches the description of this creature perfectly) has been seen many times since 1936. 

Although there is no footage of the creature itself, some claw marks in the dirt and a strange footprint were found the next morning on the trail the creature ran down. 

On another note: I now have permission from the individual who posted the no trespassing signs to resume going into the woods.

UPDATE: Another Anomalous Set of Eyes in the Same Place One Year Later?

Tonight, me and my dad walked down the street to the location of the strange "ghost light" incident that occurred last year around the same time. I took a couple of photos (trying to capture similar anomalies) which contained nothing. Then I took another. What that photograph showed seemed very similar to the pair of "eyes" captured last year. Right in the same area. After I took that photo, I then took more photos at various distances and angles trying to debunk this "eye" phenomena as reflections or what have you. We could come up with no reasonable explanations to these occurrences. I could also swear that I see a "reptile" kind of face as well. But I'll let you decide.

First, the original, followed by an enhanced crop.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Ghost Light Photo Anomalies

Sometimes as a paranormal investigator/researcher, pieces of evidence such as in photos or audio recordings may slip right past you without even noticing them (especially if you're like me and take MANY photos during an investigation). And even if you do know what you have, it can be easy to just dump it into a folder on the hard drive and forget about it (especially if paranormal activity is a fairly regular occurrence in your life). Even some very interesting things (like what you're about to see) can simply be forgotten, as strange as that sounds. This series of photos were taken by me on September 13, 2011. I was shooting in a few different directions during an EVP session another individual and I were conducting. I snapped a photo towards a very dark area of the path that leads along the woodline and comes out to a road. After looking at the photo, I immediately noticed this strange light anomaly. (It is located low and to the right) I then began snapping more photos in that direction to see if I could see it again. I took 2 more which contained nothing, then a few more which contained other strange anomalies, including what looks to me like a set of eyes. One of the anomalies is smaller and harder to see, but is still visible (but partially obstructed by leaves from a low branch). Another vital fact is that all of these were taken between 9:16pm and 9:17pm. Only a one minute window. Here are those photos. Here's an enhanced crop of the last photo. Eyes?

I had completely forgot about this incident until I found the pictures on the hard drive. And it actually goes hand in hand with an incident that took place in the house on July 19, 2012 at around 4:45 am when someone in the family had awoken to see a set of ping pong ball sized "Blue-ish white glowing eyes" in the dark on the stairs. Coincidence? I'll leave that one up to you. ***EDIT*** Here is a photo of the area during the day. -Chris

N.I.P.R INVESTIGATIONS (NEW SERIES)

I (Chris) have come to the conclusion that instead of posting short video clips to YouTube every once in a while, making longer, more professional looking videos every month or so (we'll see how it goes - evidence worthy of publication is usually few and far between) might be the way to go. I figured a good old fashioned ghost hunt would be an appropriate first installment to a "series" like approach to making videos. So, without further ado, the first episode of "N.I.P.R Investigations"

FIRST GHOST HUNT OF 2012

‎2 of us were in the woods earlier checking for any activity. The other individual that was with me began to tell me that a while back while testing a new camera, she experienced something that sounded like it was "Rushing toward" her. It was so intense that she said it sounded like it was going to knock her over. While telling me about this experience, we both heard something coming up behind me (She was facing me - in the position she was in when it happened originally). I quickly got out of the way only to turn around and see a large branch that was hanging onto the ground bouncing up and down as if someone lifted it and let go. I snapped a black & white photo in high ISO and got this.
