Men fear death as children fear to go into the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other.
~Sir Francis Bacon


No passion so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
~Edmund Burke


When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
~Nietzsche

Feedback:
From ladzep: Very cool newsletter. I have long been interested in cryptozoology and love reading about or watching programs about cryptids. I'm glad to see mention of this here, thanks!

From Grendel : There is a phenomenon known as ShadowPeople. I discovered this after encountering them
as a child. After sketching what I had seen, and telling the story for nearly 30 years, I
came across a reference to them online, along with a picture similar to the one I had been
showing to people for years. My daughter was present during my discovery, and had been
shown the pictures as a child. Needless to say, we were both somewhat surprised (her
more than myself, because I grew up in an ancient colonial where things happened nearly
every day). I would look into this more, if I were you. Just thought I'd pass that on.


From Darkness : I'm so glad someone has looked into this. I use many documentaries in my research for my work. Often cryptozoologists are mentioned and interviewed, but they never talk about them otherwise. Thanks for shedding some light on an interesting subject. Rock on, Darkness.
