http://woosterglass.com/laravel/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php I’ve had several requests for Jaye Paro’s article on Mount Misery, so I’m posting it here, since it’s probably hard to find now. It appeared in the July 1969 issue of Beyond magazine (see here for notes on her other articles). I previously posted the picture of Ms. Paro, and the shot of the strange creature, which to me looks like one of her friends in a costume. Here’s the rest, a lively collection of UFO sightings, forteana, and folklore from Long Island. I included the vintage ads, for fans of vintage ads.
Thanks for this post Doug.

As you mentioned before, this was in Strange Creatures. I found it here in a later publication, “The Complete Guide to Mysterious Beings”, where John calls her the leading expert on Mt. Misery and the corroborating statement was included, pgs 99-100. This book is not a reprint because on pg 105 it includes info from a caller to Rush Limbaugh in 1990 about an ape man seen at Pike’s Peak.
Note also how John places this as a creature sighting when Jaye Paro said it was “a black mass in human form that moved silently through the tangle of bushes”.

I enjoy those old ads from Fate and its imitators. They’re full of surprises.

Yes, John updated Strange Creatures for The Complete Guide. The photo looks like a human being to me. But here it is; you can decide for yourself!
