Monsters are they really among us?

Welcome to DAR the researchers home site of the strange.

Links below to subjects from Bigfoot to Aliens the whole gang.

This site is for Skeptics and people that believe, my job is by the time a skeptic reads this site they will be less skeptical and for the ones that except them as real then they will be less real to them, many of them reported can be explained by the time they read through all the evidence and I think it is a good balance for both.

Lake monsters to Bigfoot and hundreds of more  odd cryptozoology  reports, the author has been researching this subject for decades and actually witnessed  one species that  is not known to science or a species known that is smaller then any of the recorded species and also has a odd black morph and also a small darter fish that the only close match is the Etheostoma tippecanoe although there is some major diverences the spots and the dorsal fin areas were slightly different and also this species only is listed living in the USA and the author cannot figure out why it would be present here? And a few others that it could  possibly be? And no possitive identification has been made to date.

Forward for Author

Many people reading a claim like that would be skeptical and that is understandable, however there is a reason for this ,the author spent his entire life mostly on the water and in the woods and a strange event when he was a  young guy, he witnessed a small weasel like mammal  while he was walking by the river that to this date as mentioned has not been able to be indentified and this and many more animal life he witnessed going on bodies of  water and in the woods and this interest in wildlife made him always look for animals and keep notes, especially of odd animals he sees and fish species and his interest in animals of all sorts is very high and loves them all.

His main expertise is freshwater fish and animal species and knows  a great deal of the saltwater species as well and most marine life and from other countries across the globe he studies animals and  other fish species as well.

In the early 70s,the author was hunting up greens creek in canada on one of his patrols looking for giant suckers and course species that will go up these waters year around , fall and spring they go up the most in these creeks.

He came upon a pool that had this amazing pretty darter fish ,the author new right away it was a darter however he could not indentify it  and knew it was not any of the common species, he watched it for about 5 minutes and made mental notes of the species as best he could and went home and drawed the little fish.

The author started in his younger years collecting data on all fish species and doing angling and trapping experiments on how to capture them and in several bodies of water he has captured species not listed to the lake or region in some cases  at the time and still some to this date are not listed in the region  or  body of water, including a ling cod in Missippi lake with only 3 ever caught  so far that the author can find any note of  and years later a landlocked arctic char in a small lake in Quebec right near ottawa that none had ever been caught in the lake before and none of the numerous locals had any answer to how this fish  had never been witnessed in the lake before also he has a record of a captured sucker species a spotted bar sucker not known  to live here and last recorded  in Ont in the 1800's and several other minnow and sucker species not listed here and a few  panfish species and a few other odd catches not known or rarely listed..

The Quebec government confirmed there is no known char in the lake, the author caught it with a small white jig and was the most awsome looking fish the author has ever  captured and to this date they are not listed as a species  in that lake, the author will not say the lake it is a very small body of water and would be easily stripped of life if everyone started fishing on it.

The author had caught and listed already in the region as a young fellow over 80 species of fish by angling or by minnow traps and dozens of species of  birds and many lizards ,snakes mammals  species  and insects around the region.

Other one of a kind odd and rare species the author has caught or witnessed or read about their capture in the papers sometimes, including bowfin only 4 captured in 200 years in the ottawa river and rare minnow species and a few that are not known to inhabit the region , 1 atlantic salmon, 2 american shad and one minnow species they even claim is extinct.

The eastern silvery minnow" Hybognathus regius" which it is not,  the author has witnessed them as of  several years ago jumping in a pool in the lower rideau river, they have always been a rare species in the  lower rideau and years can go by withought you catching one in a minnow trap or seeing one although they are not extinct as they claim and infact are common in some areas of the ottawa river as well.

The author by a early age as you can see  has always been interested in animals and was collecting wildlife sightings of many animals and experiments on odd fish species that were not  being done by anyone else and captured many odd species of  fish and since some were not known to inhabit the region then he figured maybe more animals are not known in the region or maybe not known at all and went on a life time quest looking on water systems for ,birds ,fish species insects unknown to science or the area and  has got lucky a few times ,although still to this date none are excepted maybe after some research they could be and maybe some scientific group may help the author solve any of these mysteries, if you want to read about them read in local or world wide cryptids.

THis little creature at bare minimum is a unknown sub species of  Mustela Nivalis and i know for a fact it exists read the story on worldwide or craytails.

The author has done plenty of investigating and so the author wanders about these puzzles?

The author will go through a huge amount of evidence about cryptids to get to the truth, the author has fully researched  all the known fish and insects, mammals , and cannot find any match to a few of the animals he has witnessed, he simply figures if a animal or a few unknown to science or to the region can hide right in a downtown core of a major city and not be detected, well then possibly so can some others?
