Episode 11: The Moehau Man -Part 2 & Big Cat Sightings <\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Welcome back to the second part of the Moehau man episode\u2026. In today\u2019s episode we conclude the conversation with my guest Marc Coppell and his experiences with this creature. Then I\u2019ll discuss briefly Anomalous Big Cat sightings in New Zealand, and there have been very many of these \u2013 which continue to this day. Actually it was sightings reported in the NZ media in the past couple of months, of this huge cat. \u00a0ThaMart actually was the reason these NZ episodes were created to begin with. Plus, I\u2019ll briefly mention a couple of other lesser know cryptids\u2026. So this episode will be a little longer than normal. \u00a0Without further ado, let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n

Marc Coppell<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Marianne:<\/strong> You mentioned that you would like to spend some time on Mt Moehau<\/p>\n

Marc:<\/strong> Yes, I would actually like to spend some time on the mountain. It \u2013 Mount Moehau there is over there on the north- eastern side of New Zealand. It\u2019s a beautiful, beautiful mountain range. You can go and fish, get a scnapper off the beach there. It\u2019s very pristine, very picturesque. There\u2019s also\u2026 The mountain range has its own biodiversity up there, it\u2019s the Archer tree frog and it\u2019s species up there that are not found anywhere else in the world\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also\u2026. It also has a sacred aspect to it where some of the Maori have carried their dead up this\u2026. Some three thousand foot, close to I think, about nine hundred metre mountain. This is the highest peak in the area. So you can see it on a clear day, from Auckland. But this is where they are supposed to be. If you go into the history, back to the eighteen- nineties, eighteen- eighties\u2026. They had all the gold prospecting that took place out there.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

The Maori they warned the prospectors about going out at night time. And, these things were carnivorous\u2026. They would, they could easily take down a warrior. There was reports I believe, of eighteen-eighty\u2026. There was a headless prospector found, who had been mauled, and it\u2019s any one\u2019s guess or speculation as to what did it. We know know that wild pigs can do that to people. I spoke to a lady whose friend died by getting attacked from a wild pig. I\u2019ve actually seen them in the area that I go to. I carry a machete with me\u2026. Like, when you\u2019re by yourself. You\u2019ve got to be prepared for anything to go wrong, or\u2026. But where pretty safe generally, here in New Zealand. At least from animals.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hahah yeah, safe from animals.. No snakes here.<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s a great thing. Like in America I always had to think about that. Especially around summertime.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So how is your work being accepted generally? What sort of feedback are you getting from the general public?<\/p>\n

Openly, it\u2019s pretty hush hush\u2026. Oh look, I\u2019ve had people say\u00a0 \u2013 Family members\u2026. Don\u2019t you go into this subject. Like, it\u2019s caused a stir. Some of my family have\u00a0 seen ghosts and UFOs though but this subject\u2026. Look, I had no idea there was bigfoot here in New Zealand. You know, and now I want answers. And how does it connect to us? Are they related to us?\u00a0 You know? You look at foot prints \u2013 they\u2019re often described as being apes. You look at their foot prints, now that\u2019s not an ape footprint. You don\u2019t see an opposing thumb. Instead it\u2019s a foot print that\u2019s got a minimal arch to it. Very minimal. A lot sturdier than a homosapian\u2019s print.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

So you know, what are they? Who are they? And I believe that they are very, highly intelligent people. That are on the edge of our dimension. I don\u2019t know about other beings, other ape-like beings around the world. The yowie, the urin in china, the satsquach in North America, I\u2026. Could there be ones that are more flesh and blood? I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m trying to understand. I\u2019m trying to answer it, but I have been getting interaction.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

But, I think\u2026. See, a lot of researchers \u2013 well, I can\u2019t say a lot. You\u2019ve got to treat them with respect. Because they are highly empathic. They\u2019ll pick up if you are there to do them harm. They\u2019ll pick that up off you.\u00a0 And, because I go with a lot of respect I don\u2019t treat them like a scien\u2026. Yes, I do, I do\u2026. Do prints and that, but it\u2019s for my own sanity. It\u2019s helps me to say oh look, I don\u2019t have psychosis. You know, I want to be level headed when doing this. I mean look, even Sir Edmund Hillary went out\u2026. I think it was in 1960? He went looking for evidence of the Yeti in the Himalayas. He had come back with I think, some sort of skull cap, or something, I forget what it was.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And there was another man, over from Australia, that had come over \u2013 a cryptozoologist, and he found prints as well. Author\u2026. I\u2019m trying to think. I can\u2019t think of his name off the top of my head.\u00a0 And there was another man, by the name of Gary O\u2026. oh, I forget his last name. But, he\u2019s a zoologist and he goes into the Australian wild and he has to know every single sound of the creatures out there, and be able to identify them. Well he has said that there is stuff out there that he has heard, that is not known to man, or science \u2013 general science. It\u2019s not known.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So he wrote the world\u2019s first cryptozoological paper on the Yowie, and presented it. It was published in one of the scientific journals over there. So it was quite interesting to hear from this man about, oh a month ago. But there are various people that come forward. I\u2019ve got people who work for the government. I\u2019ve had hunters. I\u2019ve had people who are skeptics. I\u2019ve had people that were believers as well. A variety of people that have contacted me with their accounts. So these are not just things that happened back in the seventies, or the sixties or around the nineteen-hundreds, this, this is stuff going on today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Could you share a couple of experiences you\u2019ve heard perhaps? If you are comfortable doing that?<\/p>\n

Yeah. I had one man, when I first started doing my research \u2013 people found me through my YouTube videos. I just started recording and putting stuff up and I get people, a lot of people that way, contact me. In fact probably eighty percent of the people I get, is through YouTube.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/em>There was one man who contacted me. He works for a department in the Government. And he has found footprints, he has found structures like what I have. Over in a certain area in the Coromandel. So he approached me and I had gotten with him, and talked with\u2026. He had seen what I was doing and he had found some very similar things. I don\u2019t know that he had had the bipedal approaches, and the wood knocks. But when you get all that other stuff together, it\u2019s crazy.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I had a hunter that contacted me. I\u2019m going\u2026. I think he was doing possum hunting in the middle of the night and had his shotgun on, I think it was on a berm. He\u2019s waiting there. He hears these footsteps, on this stone driveway, and he turned on his flashlight all of a sudden to spot light whatever it was, to shoot, and he said there was nothing there. He could see nothing. And he was very taken aback. When I talked about some of the bipedal approaches, I couldn\u2019t see what was approaching me, and he sort of identified with that. Other people are just\u2026. Like the skeptic who climbed Mount Moehau in the seventies along with two travel companions, that slept up there. He said to me, look I don\u2019t want any mention of my name. No reference to me. I reminded my companions of what happened those decades back, and he said they didn\u2019t want to be reminded. It terrified them. And he said, I tried to identify that howl with all kinds of creatures, but could not identify it.\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Wow, that\u2019s pretty fascinating isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s pretty fascinating. I\u2019ve always felt that myth and legend start from a basis of reality. There\u2019s always something that\u2019s the kernel that creates them. You know, like with the Taniwha. There\u2019s a possibility that at least one of the versions of the Taniwha, the sea version, could in fact be a mososaur\u2026. And so I believe that\u2026. And I know from personal experience that there are far more things in this world, than are currently known of.<\/p>\n

Yes, well they\u2019re finding new species all the time, especially when they do their deep sea dives, going to these trenches at the bottom of the sea, miles under the water. They\u2019re finding a lot of new species, they create their own light and you know\u2026. Very, very interesting you know? And the same with insects and birds and it\u2019s a wonder the world we live in. There\u2019s so many life forms.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Oh yeah, absolutely.\u00a0 You mentioned the other day that you were approached by a production company was it? To do a documentary spot with them?<\/p>\n

I had a producer from the UK who does an international TV show. They were wanting me to take them out Bigfoot hunting. I don\u2019t really like the word hunting \u2013 Investigating\u2026. Hunting makes it sound like you are going there with rif\u2026. I don\u2019t do that. But, I kind of backed out. I was going to take them to right by the mountain where all this happens.\u00a0 There\u2019s actually a place you can camp. There\u2019s a Department of Conservation camp where you can rent pretty cheap. You can set up your tent, and you can go up by that mountain there where all the history is. I wanted to take them there but the producer said, no, no, he would never go camping. Well, he was an older fella but you know, I backed out of it.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

But yeah\u2026. You can get your face on TV if you wanted to but, it can be hard for your production companies to come in and get footage. For example; when I was doing my Skinwalker ranch stuff I had a production company, contact me over there as well. Seeking the contacts that I had over there with the Ute people. The tribe, and\u2026. Look I\u2019ll tell you, they put out a movie and a documentary after mine on Skinwalker ranch. They were not able to capture any of the phenomena, however I did. Mine was kind of a low budget, very rough and ready but I captured some of these. I captured these light anomalies and the strange Bigfoot like call and the rock hitting by us, and these electronic voice phenomena as well.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

And so I feel like I\u2019ve got a good feel and this\u2026. That they\u2019re attracted to me, because I\u2019m respectful to them, and look, I want to know the truth.\u00a0 Also, I think I wanna find\u2026. It gives me some kind of answers to things I have had happen in my life too. Growing up. Some of the very strange stuff that happened.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Right, right. That\u2019s so awesome. So where do you go from here? You\u2019re trying to get funding raised to be able to create this documentary. Do you have a production team organized to help you? You mentioned you had a cameraman lined up\u2026.<\/p>\n

Yes. Well, I just gave him some warning. I said look this whatever you may see with me, may change your understanding of reality. And so when I actually went looking for a cameraman, I made\u2026. I put that straight up front, I said I need someone fit, because, going into these areas you need a little bit of climbing ability. And see, even me with my back stuff \u2013 it\u2019s a challenge. But yes, I\u2026. Like I warned him, I said this could\u2026. This could kind of freak you out if something\u2026. I mean, I can\u2019t guarantee that something will happen with the camera rolling, but with me, it has happened. So it could happen, and just be prepared for that.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And so this man I found, he has a deep interest in the subject matter and so\u2026. Ah, there\u2019s also a researcher by the name of Darren Weblock, he wants to\u2026. He would like to go with me to by Mount Moehau there where I captured those anomalies, and so he would like\u2026. I\u2019ll show him that, and we can work something out, and so yeah, I\u2019m kind of getting together with people. A lot of what I have been doing, has been solo which is kind of hard\u2026.Oh it\u2019s good in one way, you keep it very private. No one can come an hoax you, but then what happens if an emergency happens? You have no cell reception\u2026.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s good to have someone there, who can hear something with you. I record everything up there. I wanna capture whatever\u2019s going on. I get a lot of audio stuff. Some of the chant\u2026. Oh look, I pick up chanting. I pick up really super bizarre stuff. Look, this is\u2026. This is wild! And, I feel like I\u2019ve hit ground zero for a spot with activity. So I\u2019ve kept it very secret on purpose. Cause, there are aspects to getting out there\u2026. That it\u2019s challenging to get out to, but also I don\u2019t want to lose access to that area. It\u2019s a great research area, it\u2019s a great tool for this kind of thing.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Absolutely! I totally understand that, and I\u2019m really excited for you. I think that what you are doing is really awesome and I can\u2019t wait to see what you are able to capture and\u2026. Gosh I would, be keen as to be part of your investigation party, and to do whatever I could in this area, \u2018cause, I absolutely am fascinated, and I agree with you. I agree with what you are doing and I think that it\u2019s just the need to know isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s just the need to know<\/p>\n

Yes\u2026 I mean you\u2019ve had your experiences with very strange things eh and\u2026. You can run from it, or you can approach it with a sense of maturity and open-mindedness and\u2026. Wherever that path leads, and the truth might be disturbing, you know? Look, I\u2019ll be honest, I\u2019ve come across some very bad stuff. I\u2019ve been attacked by entities. Some of them have\u2026. Some of them are very powerful. So I\u2019m pretty brave with going out\u2026. I did work with a psychic medium while I was in America, helping people with very bad hauntings and that, so I\u2019ve been exposed to all kinds of things And look it makes it sound\u2026. You sound crazy talking about this stuff, but when you\u2019ve had something happen, you\u2019ve got to wonder about quantum physics and other dimensions around us, you know? You\u2019ve got to start opening your mind to stuff\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

I love quantum physics. I love it! It\u2019s absolutely fascinating, and it just raises more questions. Questions, and questions, and then of course you get into the holographic reality question, and when you look at that, then some of these other things you know don\u2019t\u2026 they seem like they might fit in a bit more, you know?<\/p>\n

Yeah um\u2026. I know <\/em>Dr Jacques Vall\u00e9e<\/em><\/a><\/span>, who\u2019s been a famous UFO researcher \u2013 Look, I know he\u2019s studied this phenomena for a long time like the UFO aspect. But even he admitted there seems to be some sort of psychic aspect to this, that may be trying to connect to us on an individual layer \u2013 maybe some kind of conscious aspect to it, you know?\u00a0 <\/span><\/em>There\u2019s a very nut\u2019s and bolts aspect, but there also seems to be a possible spiritual aspect to it as well. Look, as I\u2019m doing this Bigfoot stuff, I\u2019m exploring what they call the woo, or supernatural aspect. It\u2019s not so popular to\u2026. A lot of the people are straight flesh and bloodies, but look, a lot of the people once you start getting into this and do field investigations, actually go out into the field. Go where they supposedly are \u2013 Some of them are finding these prints simply stop and disappear. Some of them are actually having visual contact and they\u2019re just disappearing!\u00a0 Is it that they\u2019re just so good at camouflaging? Is it\u2026 do they jump up a tree? Are they actually changing into another dimension? I\u2019d love to know, but see when I did my study on Skinwalker ranch a lot of what took place there is making sense of what I am experiencing now. It seems to meld together more\u2026 At least to me it seems to.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, no.\u00a0 I totally get what you are saying. And, I\u2019ve always been of the opinion that\u2026. That I don\u2019t know about all instances, but certainly some instances I\u2019ve heard of \u2013 particularly in there early days there was a\u00a0 \u2013 an awesome radio show host, by the name of Art Bell. He\u2019s the king \u2013 the king of talk back. He\u2019s my radio hero. I loved his subjects, and I remember on a couple of occasions he did shows about\u2026. covering, the Bigfoot. Several of the guests that he had on at different times, mentioned that, that they felt that these beings were inter-dimensional because of the way they can appear and disappear like that!<\/p>\n

Like we never get a body! We get trace evidence, supposedly scat and supposedly hair samples, blood samples. I know there was Dr Melba Ketchum who did the Sasquatch genome project as well. I\u2019ve heard for and against of that study. But interesting saying that, that the maternal side DNA was human female. The male side is a unknown. Not in the gene bank, and the gene bank contains what? Millions of specimens. DNA samples so, it\u2019s really interesting to hear that. It might also fit into some of the biblical aspects with you know, people talking about the angels of god interbreeding with the daughters of men kind of thing, and that aspect. I just keep an open mind and it\u2019s very interesting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s absolutely fascinating and I am right behind you. I can\u2019t wait to see, I can\u2019t wait to see what comes out of this, and I know it\u2019s probably a little-ways down the track yet, cause it\u2019s a funding issue. So hopefully people can help support you. I will put a link to your give a little page<\/a> on the podcast website, so my listeners, whoever would like to help out they can make a donation towards the cause.\u00a0 And I\u2019m really happy to do that for you cause I\u2019m fascinated, and\u2026<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, no I really, I genuinely mean that I\u2019m absolutely fascinated by this and I think it is a wonderful thing that you are doing. I\u2019m a bit jealous actually\u2026. I\u2019m a bit jealous that you can do this, cause it\u2019s something that I would love to do myself. But you know \u2013 different areas eh\u2026 we all have different areas that we are drawn to in this sort of thing.<\/p>\n

The question I have Marianne, is why me? Why did I have this stuff happen to me back in New Zealand? I mean, if you listen to that recording from that paranormal investigation \u2013 \u201cAccept the bigfoot people. Big people\u201d repeated, and then all the stuff that happened out in the wild \u2013 I was asking myself why? Why, they could have just stayed back and stayed hidden and I would have just gone on my merry way. But look, through ITC, my research it says, they basically said they wanted a friendship with me, that\u2019s all. It\u2019s as simple as that!\u00a0 And then I had some\u2026. I\u2019ve had some other things as well, related to the woo aspect of big foot. Yeah, some very strange things. Including having my life saved and some very bizarre stuff. I mean, I\u2019ve gone down the rabbit hole on this whole subject.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

You mentioned you had your life saved. Do you want to share that experience with us? It sounds really interesting.<\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019ve talked about there\u2019s a possible inter dimensional aspect to them, well I\u2019m very firm \u2013 quite firm on that. I had a problem, with like what I\u2019ve said I had health issues. Well, I do have a titanium plate fusion in my spine. And so, I\u2019ve had a lot of pain issues and that\u2026. Spine issues. I had a problem with a medication\u2026 two pain medications, very powerful. Nearly killed me! I thought I was having a heart attack. One of the medications sent me into paranoia \u2013 so I also have to consider, what happened to me? Was I hallucinating?<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Well, I was having heart problems and I had saw, this shadow-like creature came running up to me \u2013 shoved something into my heart area\u2026. Now the ambulance people told me afterwards, we don\u2019t know how you are still alive! So putting that with what happened\u2026. They also said, had told me through my ITC research, that yes, we\u2019ve saved your life. We helped you. Basically the messages are love too. But look, I\u2019m trying to understand what this all means?\u00a0 What does it mean for you and me? What does it mean for humanity too? Is it something to be feared? Could there be ones that take people? You know, as the Maori thought, were violent.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There\u2019s some people I\u2019ve talked to that have said they have had violent encounters with them. Now I know they can move incredibly fast. We could not out run them! You see, in the bush there\u2019s just no way you can get away. If they wanted you dead, you would be dead!\u00a0 They have immense strength, and speed and goodness knows what other abilities? I had somebody from the Australian defence force contact me\u2026. And I\u2019d like to read a quote to you if you don\u2019t mind?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Sure! No go ahead.<\/p>\n

If I can just see if I can find it here\u2026. You know. It\u2019s like when you do research you have all these notes around you and you want to\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Good thing you can\u2019t see my desk!<\/p>\n

(Laughing) It\u2019s all part of researching [? \u2013 last word slightly inaudible]. This is what he said to me:<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLet\u2019s make something abundantly clear, the SAS or Special Air Service, and members of the wider ADF, Australian Defence Force, know about the Yowie. The Yowie is the Australian version of the Bigfoot. We have had encounters in training and on exercises\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He then went onto say this guy was messing with you\u2026. That was in regards to \u2013 I had someone who was a supposed SAS soldier, that contacted me, kind of mocking me and saying, \u201cOh come on \u2013 these things, I\u2019ve never seen anything like that!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, I\u2019ve got somebody from the Australian military that has contacted me and says that they all\u2026. They\u2019re quite well aware of them over there in the wilderness.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Wow\u2026. Yeah, yeah! That tends to lead us down conspiracy paths somewhat, doesn\u2019t it? And I don\u2019t want to go there, \u2018cause, that\u2019s a whole \u2018nother episode in itself.<\/p>\n

Yes!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Government conspiracies\u2026. But, I do agree with you. That\u2019s all I\u2019ll say on that. But yeah, very, very interesting. Is there anything that you would like to share with the listeners, about what you\u2019ve learned or what might be useful for them to know if they ever come into a situation where they maybe run into one of these?<\/p>\n

Well\u2026. They supposedly, from different people, have the ability to instil fear in you. If they want you out of their area, they have different ways\u2026 A certain person, who works for another aspect of the government, which involves being in the wild a lot, told me that he had been scared out of areas \u2013 something had come after him. Had pushed down a bunch of trees\u2026. There\u2019s this aspect that they can instil this fear.\u00a0 And you\u2019re going to know straight away. I\u2019m not supposed to be in this area. They don\u2019t want me here. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And they will scare\u2026. They will usher you out of the area. That\u2019s what I can say. I\u2019ve had the opposite, after these strange things happened, something else happened I haven\u2019t told you about. This is the woo aspect, and I think people are going to say oh Marc\u2019s on something\u2026. Whatever!<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Look, I was laying in bed one night. I couldn\u2019t sleep, I just lay there \u2013 something came into the room, that was big, had a lot of force to it \u2013 attacked my head and gave me a date of January 13th<\/sup> 2017. And,\u00a0 I assumed it was one of them, telling me basically to go back out there. Well, when I went back out there something really big ran past me in the bush! In a very steep area, where it\u2019s very easy to slip.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Look, I found pigs out there, you know, the hoof marks. I found dead sheep. People\u2026. As you do research into this you realise there\u2019s people around the world that actually have relationships with them, with these tribes, and I\u2019m going to say, they are a people. And they are prob\u2026. Way more intelligent than humans. Than modern man. We like to think that we are at the top of the ladder of awareness, but we aren\u2019t!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I agree! I agree. I absolutely agree, and my personal feeling is that they\u2026. That the reason you\u2019re probably accepted is because they\u2019re very sensitive to energy, they pick up on energy, and they\u2019re telepathic, I believe.<\/p>\n

Oh for sure, yeah!\u00a0\u00a0 I have no doubt about that whatsoever,<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah so that\u2019s absolutely awesome, absolutely awesome. So, let me see\u2026. I think you\u2019ve covered some really awesome stuff.<\/p>\n

You know what\u2019s really interesting Marianne, is that not only did prospectors have experiences and tourists, but also the Maori themselves\u2026. They\u2026. Look, long before the Europeans came here they had experiences, and they said that these beings would throw rocks at them! Now what throws rocks? Well, we know through research, that that\u2019s the way they get attention, or scare people out.\u00a0 So it\u2019s interesting that same thing, you know with the legends of the Maori too.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, that is very interesting and of course I started the episode talking about the Maori legends. I didn\u2019t even know, until I was researching cryptids in New Zealand, that we even had our own Bigfoot here. So that was a real learning experience for me. Although I do have to say, there have been times when I\u2019ve been out in the bush, \u2018cause, quite often I used to bush walk by myself, because, I just enjoy the\u2026 It\u2019s safe in New Zealand to do that. Well, it used to be \u2013 not so safe these days though sadly. You know, you could, you could. And like yourself, there were times, when I felt like I was being observed. I never felt unwelcomed, \u2018cause, I didn\u2019t go into any area with any intent, other than respect, and like you said, respect is the key.<\/p>\n

Right, for sure!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And intent is paramount as well. I always tell members of my Walking the Shadowlands Fb group that intent is everything.<\/p>\n

Hmmm yes, oh for sure. It\u2019s that way with all these other beings you know?<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Yes absolutely.<\/p>\n

You give out respect and you get back respect, you know in a lot\u2026. Unless it\u2019s something negative, there are negative things out there but generally speaking, yes, I think respect goes a long way when you\u2019re doing this kind of thing.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Yes absolutely, I agree\u2026. And with regards to the ones that perhaps may eat\u2026. The legends where the Maori said that people might get eaten, it\u2019s possible. That\u2019s quite possible, because you know, it might be a different species or different\u2026. Like not everybody has good intentions, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s the same in any species.<\/p>\n

Yes, yes. There could be ones that have just had a bad day. Or, they get pissed off because someone\u2019s doing something in their area or something.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah right!<\/p>\n

But yeah\u2026. I mean, I don\u2019t know \u2013 yeah there could be some that you know might! You know that might!\u00a0 \u2013 Like I was contacted by some aborigines over in Australia that had come to me and said, look they eat, and take some of our people. The Yowies.\u00a0 But then they went and retracted their comment later on, oh I don\u2019t know why. But, it\u2019s interesting. I guess you could ask the question how many bigfoot researchers go missing?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a very good question. I haven\u2019t heard of any.<\/p>\n

Yeah, so \u2013 you\u2019ve probably heard of the missing 411 where people go missing in National parks. And a lot of those areas, there\u2019s a strong connection \u2013 those are bigfoot areas where people go missing. However, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean, it\u2019s the Bigfoot people that are doing it. And there are other beings reported too, as well out there, not just the Bigfoots. So\u2026.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Correct. So very interesting. So here\u2019s hoping that your documentary will be able to collect some evidence that people can look at it and go oh wow!<\/p>\n

Well, they can listen to some audio that I\u2019ve captured already\u2026. I\u2019ve got wood knocks on audio, I\u2019ve got the voices. I\u2019ve got them responding to me in a number of ways. Just that Sasquatch interaction video, if you listen through headphones\u2026. I mean, I wore a mike in my pocket cause I was having a problem with my gopro sound. But, I picked up these deep voices that were responding to me, and along with pulling the tree back I couldn\u2019t see any birds. There\u2019s the footsteps. There\u2019s the tree knocks. There\u2019s the mimic. So I have got stuff like that already. People they can watch my stuff for free on my YouTube channel. Just have to look up those videos but I\u2019ve already got some amazing stuff and I have no doubt that that I\u2019ll\u2026. I mean, so I\u2019m not in a rush\u2026 I\u2019m not going to force this in anyway, it\u2019s going to go in a very nice, flowing, natural manner.\u00a0 And I think when you have that air in your aura, when you go and do this, it reflects to them and they can communicate with you better, or they can trust you better, you know?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I agree, I agree. So I\u2019m really looking forward to following you and seeing what happens Marc. Maybe we can catch up some other time with \u2013 you know, progress. I think all my listeners would be quite interested in that, and by that stage I might have a few more than I have now. So yeah, that\u2019s really cool. I\u2019ve really enjoyed this chat Marc. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this. I know that you\u2019re really busy, and especially on such short notice. \u00a0I was so excited to be able to talk with \u00a0you and it\u2019s been really wonderful. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Well, thank you for giving me the opportunity to come on your show. Thank you very much.\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

I feel very strongly that you are going to get more evidence than you anticipate.<\/p>\n

Yeah I hope so look, what my goal is now is I\u2019m trying to get a very good foot print. I found that we can see the toes and everything and they\u2019re a lot more structured. The footprints have a lot more stronger bone structure than ours. So what I want to do is get a good print, and I want to go there\u2026.\u00a0 There\u2019s a Newshub office, I want to go in there and see if they are interested in doing a promotional piece on my research and that so I\u2019ve really got my fingers crossed, but please if people to [help support the video fund], that would be much appreciated. I am doing this on the skin of my teeth. I mean, I have equipment from America from when I was over there that I\u2019m using for this anyway, but you know, it\u2019s not something that pays well\u2026.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

No you can\u2019t make a living off of it can you? It\u2019s definitely a labour of love for sure!.<\/p>\n

For sure yeah.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m really hoping that my listeners will get behind you and help you. Certainly I\u2019ll do everything that I can within my limited range to make sure that you get, that you get\u2026. you know\u2026. At least my people know, and the members of my facebook group.<\/p>\n

Yeah. no, I really appreciate any of that. I mean you\u2019ve already donated and I really appreciate it very much. I think this subject affects all of us, whether we realise it or not. Who we are as humans, and the spiritual aspect, and they can be\u2026. These beings can be involved in our lives and sometimes\u2026. Look, I had a remote viewer contact me, and she had some very strange things start happening after she checked out an area \u2013\u00a0 I asked her to check out this particular area.\u00a0\u00a0 Just earlier today she contacted me. \u201cMarc what\u2019s going on outside my home?\u201d You know, I\u2019m not\u2026. Strange things starting to go on so\u2026. I know they have abilities to do things, and so the best thing is not to panic, and put on a smile and most things are nice out there. Yes, there are some bad things but, I think if you have that love in your heart I think it lends well to your auric field and it kind of repels the bad stuff.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

I agree, and one of the things I always put on my Instagram posts is \u201cLove is All\u201d And really, I know that\u2019s an old hippy saying, and you know, some people use it very tritely. But it\u2019s actually true, love is what it\u2019s all about.Thank you Marc, I really appreciate your time. That was a really interesting conversation and I hope\u2026. I\u2019m pretty sure that my listeners will find it really interesting as well\u2026<\/p>\n

Thanks Marianne, have a good one. Take care, good bye.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

Alien Big Cats<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Throughout the world there are numerous reports of Alien Big Cats. Alien only in that they are encountered in countries and regions dramatically outside of their normal geographic ranges. Such as large black panthers in consistently reported Great Britain, and even here in NZ.<\/p>\n

April 18th 2019, there was a news story about a big cat sighting in the beautiful McKenzie Country of the South Island. Two days previously a North Island couple, the Cooks, were travelling state highway eight through Burkes Pass. They had pulled over to photograph the golden trees in the area, near Sawdon Station, and had taken photos and video of the area before putting their camera back in their camper. They were sitting down having a cuppa tea when they were stunned to spot the big cat.<\/p>\n

Kevin Cook described the sighting like this:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe were sitting down outside having a cuppa later when we noticed it about 50 metres away. It was in the shadow at the start and slowly walked down the side hill and into the grass and bracken and didn\u2019t reappear. We really didn\u2019t want to go looking for it because we didn\u2019t know what it was\u2026 We thought it was cow, a calf, or a sheep but it was walking like a cat and was probably the size of a Labrador dog. When it walked slowly down the hill it walked like a cat. The tail was, however, definitely like a cat.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They said when they got to Tekapo they were able to Google it and found that there have been numerous sightings of \u201cbig cats\u201d in the Central South Island over many years.<\/p>\n

Only a couple of weeks later on the 29th of April the big cat (or one similar) was again in the news, this time it made our TV stations, along with a write up on their website.<\/p>\n

One Juliearna Kavanagh who lives in Picton, in the South Island of NZ, and her partner Warren Lewis, were driving on State Highway 1, and it was just before midnight that this incident occurred. The following is what was said to and reported by the the Seven Sharp reporter. If you follow the link<\/a> on our web site www.walkingtheshadowlands.com you can watch the interview for yourself.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe road was very quiet, she said, and they were about 10 minutes south of Ward travelling north at about 75km\/h around a bend. We came around the corner and basically there it was \u2013 it was 10-15 feet in front of us,\u201d<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ms Kavanagh said.<\/p>\n

Ms Kavanagh said the creature bounded across the road very close in front of their car and showed up in their headlights. She described it as being much larger and longer than a domestic or feral cat, and it was black or very dark brown in colour.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt had a big cat head and it had a very sleek, strong-looking body, and it had a huge, long tail.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She and Mr Lewis were shocked, and checked with each other that they had both seen the same thing \u2013 a large, black, panther-like cat.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor the first couple of minutes we just sort of looked at each other,\u201d<\/span> <\/em>Ms Kavanagh said. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t quite believe what we had seen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After the sighting, Ms Kavanagh called her father, who told her<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cthis thing\u2019s been seen before\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She said it was so unbelievable they had considered not reporting it for fear of being ridiculed, but eventually decided such a creature could pose a danger to unwary trampers or animals in the area. Ms Kavanagh reported the sighting to police on Saturday morning, as well as to the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI).<\/p>\n

She said an MPI representative called her back and questioned her in depth about what she had seen. Ms Kavanagh said she was told by the representative that MPI had received \u201csix to eight\u201d similar reports in recent years. She said they are absolutely sure of what they saw and that they had not misidentified the creature.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI grew up in Southland, Warren grew up in the bush \u2013 there\u2019s just no way in hell this was a feral cat,\u201d<\/span> <\/em>she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These really caught my attention and reminded me of similar stories that I had heard over the years here in NZ. So I thought that I would do some more research on these animals and thus this series of episodes began
\nSince the 1960s, startled walkers and travellers have reported seeing large, and generally, but not always black cats from New Zealand locations such as Twizel, Cromwell, Banks Peninsula, Ashburton and Hakatere \u2013 mainly, but not always in the South Island.<\/p>\n
