Bigfoot Encounters: Trauma, Size, and Impacts - A Ninja of the Woods Investigation

In a recent episode of Ninja of the Woods, host Jim Bland discussed an important topic that often goes hand in hand with cryptid sightings: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Bland, who is a member of the Cryptocrew.com, shared his personal experiences with PTSD, as well as the stories of others who have been affected by this condition after encountering cryptids. Bland began the episode by wishing his viewers a happy birthday and expressing his hopes for a day of fishing and hiking in the beautiful Harlan County, Kentucky. He then transitioned into the topic of PTSD, explaining that it is a real and serious issue that affects many people who have been in dramatic situations. Bland shared his own experiences with PTSD, as he has a family member who suffers from the condition after serving in Iraq. Bland then discussed how PTSD can also affect those who have encountered cryptids. He explained that these creatures, whether they be Bigfoot, dogman, or other unknown entities, can be incredibly intimidating and frightening. Bland emphasized that these creatures are real and that encounters with them can be mentally scarring. He also discussed the idea that some cryptids may have the ability to camouflage themselves, making them even more difficult to spot and adding to the fear and trauma of an encounter. Bland also discussed a specific story of a man whose dog was attacked by a Bigfoot. The man was traumatized by the event and wants retribution for his pet. Bland emphasized that these encounters can have a lasting impact on those who experience them. Bland also took a moment to talk about his religious beliefs, stating that he is a Christian and that he will continue to express his beliefs in his videos. He encouraged those who may not agree with his religious views to unsubscribe to his channel if they choose. In addition to the topic of PTSD, Bland also mentioned that he and his friend Thomas will be doing some research in a local area known as "Booger Hauler" where there have been reports of ghosts and shadow people. He plans to take pictures and videos and share his findings with his viewers. Overall, the episode was a thought-provoking discussion on the impact that cryptid encounters can have on individuals and the importance of acknowledging and addressing PTSD. Bland's personal experiences and stories from others serve as a reminder of the reality and potential danger of these creatures.
