A portion of the proceeds from this holiday gift will be going to our friends at the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
If you want to be reminded of Bigfoot all year round, our friend Sharon – The Bigfoot Field Reporter, put together a 2012 Bigfoot Researcher Calendar with each month featuring a different Bigfoot researcher.

The countdown has begun, so hurry and finish up your Christmas shopping with some very unique gifts that all the cryptozoology enthusiests, ghost hunters, or UFO trackers on your list will really appreciate and love.
Since tomorrow is Father’s Day and sometimes Dads can be the most difficult people to find the perfect gift for, Believe It Tour has a few suggestions to make it a little bit easier.
Search for Champ on Lake Champlain
Is your Dad an adventurous type that likes to get out in the woods to track Sasquatch or out on the lake to search for lake monsters? Then send him to Champ Camp this summer. You can even sign yourself up and spend the time bonding with Dad while learning about the creature that’s said to live in Lake Champlain or while taking a relaxing boat cruise around this beautiful location in Vermont.
Special thanks to our friends at Cryptomundo for their support during this event.
If you are just looking for a unique gift that doesn’t involve any travel please visit the Believe It Tour Store. There you’ll find all kinds of merchandise from hats and shirts with ghosts and aliens to original art of characters like Mothman and the Flatwoods Monster. You can even get him a plaster cast of a Bigfoot track from the famous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film site.
Plus if you order today we’ll help by offering you a custom pdf file that you can print out and use a Father’s Day card until your order arrives in the mail.
Sharon reports from Cleveland on the Lake Erie shore
Over a week of continuous sightings of a strange light over Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio was brought to my attention just yesterday by my friend, Sharon. Upon looking into this further it’s obvious that word is not getting out of the local area.
Lucky for Believe It Tour that Sharon lives in Cleveland and was able to report on the “Cleveland UFO” for us. Unfortunately, the weather conditions over Lake Erie last night were far from favorable, which created an unfit setting for capturing any video of the strange light.
“It was 33 degrees and the sleet and hail was pelting down! My lips were frozen! We drove to the lake shore and the visibility was poor! The cloud cover was so thick we couldn’t see more than 1/4 mile. We drove along the shoreline hoping to find a break in the clouds, but to no avail. I will return again nightly until I can capture something,” Sharon reported.
If you are at all curious, like the people commenting on our YouTube video, Cleveland UFO Report, you’re wondering why there isn’t more media attention on this. Why, after more than a week of curious crowds gathering to watch this nightly occurrence on the Lake Erie shore, are there are no authorities documenting this mysterious light?
Has the Balloon Boy incident ruined all believability for any future phenomenon?
Whether there’s a plausible explanation, it’s a hoax, or it’s true evidence of aliens visiting from outer space, we’ll try to stay with this story to bring you more information as it happens. Be sure to check back here at BelieveItTour.com for updates.
Special thanks to Sharon for taking the time away from her Bigfoot field reporting to brave the elements for us out there in Cleveland.
If you’re lucky enough to be in Vancouver for the Olympics be sure to catch the evening parade that leads everyone to the start of the arts festivities in the center of the city. These are held each night in the French Quarter at a place called Place de la Francophonie 2010.
The parade is full of monsters, space aliens, trolls, and other creatures that are part of the Big Nazo. The Big Nazo is a puppet troupe that’s larger than life and puts on a wonderful show. I’m starting to think I’m missing out on what could have been a perfect Believe It Tour stop. All the elements are there, from the Olympic mascots Quatchi, the Sasquatch, and Sumi, the animal spirit, to Alien Commander Glort and his ensemble of monsters. It definitely sounds like a fun time.
The group’s artistic director, Erminio Pinque, and several of the puppeteers are alumni, faculty, and students from my Alma Mater, Rhode Island School of Design. As such I’d like to say a special congratulations to the very creative puppet troupe, Big Nazo. Make sure you catch their amazing show if you happen to be in Vancouver as they’ll only be there until February 28th.
On our tour we heard a rumor there were aliens in Baker, so on the way to Death Valley we decided to make a quick stop to visit a shop called Alien Fresh Jerky. When you drive up to the building you’re struck by the eclectic collection of alien paraphernalia that decorate the façade. There was an alien sitting on a sign, one on the roof, a family of aliens sitting in a car, and, of course, a space ship. Inside the shop was filled with a variety of snack items for the road weary traveler and more alien related merchandise.
We thought a quick trip off our path to Death Valley was worth it to see a few aliens.
Do you have any favorite alien inspired locations you’d like to share with us? Let us know.
Day 3 started with the Believe It Tour crew hitting the road to head to Landers, which is adjacent to the Mojave Desert. We decided to explore another vortex and check out an extraterrestrial inspired building.
The The Integraton was built in 1957 by George Van Tassel as a time machine and a mechanism to rejuvenate people. George designed and built the domed Integration based on the research and theories of Nikola Tesla and by guidance he received from extraterrestrials. The site was also carefully chosen by George for its unique geomagnetic forces, which create a vortex that the dome sits on.
When we pulled up to the dome we were impressed by its remoteness and the solemn landscape surrounding it. When we arrived the dome was closed for a private function, but that didn’t stop us from soaking up the unique atmosphere and snapping a few photos before getting back on the road.
Day 2 of the tour started with an exciting change of plans and a completely new itinerary. The day was going to include a ghost investigation and a visit to Pasadena’s famous suicide bridge thanks to a lot of hard work from some great folks with a paranormal group in Southern CA. However, the schedule changed at the last minute, so the Believe It Tour crew decided to embrace some spontaneous adventure and see some new locations.
We started with going to the famous Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, CA. Hotel Del opened in 1888 and was the world’s largest hotel and the first one to have electricity. Hotel Del Coronado has a colorful past that includes the suicide of Kate Morgan in November 1892. Kate allegedly shot herself on a hotel stairway despondent over health issues and her husband’s gambling problems. According to the Hotel Room 3312 is still visited by Kate Morgan and is one of the most popular rooms at the hotel.
The next stop for the day was at Villa Montezuma in the Golden Hills area of San Diego. Villa Montezuma was built in 1887 and was home to the famous spiritualist Jesse Shepard. The house has had numerous reports of paranormal activity that range from the ghost of one of Shepard’s servants who committed suicide to the strong presence of entities in the room that Shepard used for séances.
After all of the haunted exploring the Believe It Tour crew decided to look for signs of aliens and we heard talk there were signs of then in San Diego. Our quest took us to Pacific Shores in the Ocean Beach area of San Diego where we found a delightfully glowing beverage called an Alien Secretion amongst black lit mermaids and sea monsters. Then it was off to Cardiff, CA to The Kraken, which was named after the famous sea monsters of seafaring folklore. While we didn’t spy any sea monsters we did have a great time filled with lots of laughter and fantastic people watching.
So you are a believer, but maybe not a big fan of spooky movies. Well, since I blogged about a Haunting in Connecticut a few days ago, I thought it was only appropriate to bring up the other Believe It Tour style movie opening this Friday. That’s right Monsters vs. Aliens.
I’m not sure if I can pass this one up either.
Isn’t it great to see the popularity of topics like ghosts, vampires, aliens, monsters, cryptozoology, and the paranormal growing in the mainstream world? Obviously, these topics have been covered in the past, but the number of television shows, movies, and online media appears to be increasing steadily.
What are some of your favorite shows or movies? Let us know, I would hate to think I’m missing out.
