It’s Spring, and I’m back out at my cabin in the wilderness of Manitoba (that’s a province in Canada). The cabin is in the woods about 20 minutes east of Lake Winnipeg and about 20 minutes north of the Brokenhead Ojibway First Nation Reserve. I usually don’t write about cryptozoology, but I feel that my present situation necessitates a post about my favourite but underrated cryptid- the Wendigo, a creature that inspires so much fear that many refuse to talk about it, as uttering its name may summon it to you.
The Wendigo legend is prevalent across North America, however, the Anishinabe people in Southern Manitoba (made up predominantly of Ojibway and Cree peoples) have a deep seeded fear with this spirit/creature. While the legend has variations, the prairie provinces of Canada seem to hold a very consistent lore concerning the Wendigo.
The dwarf planet Ceres, which hangs out in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, seems to be undergoing a few changes. According to Astronomy Magazine, the bright spots on Ceres seem to brighten and darken. Astronomers believe that under the planet's surface exists an ocean, and the large surface spots are frozen patches of that ocean that seem to have come to the surface.
Another planet in our solar system that has water, which means that there is another planet in our solar system that might harbor some life. It's a mysterious and wonderful place, our solar system.

The Disclosure Movement is large, and like a yard sale, it is a big mess of various leaders, organizations and groups, all believing in different things but touting one end goal: that the governments, or “shadow governments”, of the world disclose to the public all of their information and knowledge concerning extraterrestrials. The general consensus for the followers of Disclosure, is that all information and knowledge is tantamount to solid evidence of ETI, whether it be downed flying saucers, alien bodies, technology, and/or open and direct communication with alien beings. Disclosure is not about seeking the truth or the facts, rather, it is about belief, fervent dogmatic belief, that authorities are hiding something big and anything less is disinformation, a cover up, or a conspiracy to hide the truth from the public.
The new Ghostbusters trailer has been out for a few days now and the reviews from the fans have been pretty critical. The "die hards" are wondering if Ghostbusters really needs a reboot.
I loved the Ghostbusters films, and I watched the cartoon as a kid; let's be honest though, to most young people, the Ghostbusters franchise has been pretty irrelevant since the nineties. In fact, most of the kids going to see this movie have no idea of the franchises' long and respectable heritage. So who cares if it's different- it's not like the franchise is going to die. It was dead, for 20 years, and now it's being resurrected by two brilliant comedic actresses and two of Saturday Night Live's best and brightest.
Overall, I'm happy with the trailer and the concept. It's simple, fun and has a powerhouse comedy cast. It's Ghostbusters. Relax. Many voices bashed the recent Star Wars trailers when they first came out; fools are allowed to have their opinions, so let them howl into the night if they want, no one is really listening anyway.
