I currently host a show on 94.7 Fm in the Portland area. It's a late night show that runs for about an hour and normal I recieveone or two calls a night. However, in the last few days I have a huge influx of calls to my show. alot of them dealing with strange lights over the Hawthorne bridge and a weird power surge occuring around 2:30 am. Unfortunately many of my callers were drunk (it happened over the weekend) and I was not inclined to believe them. However, I changed my mind when several sober individuals called in and reported the same srory. On top of that they described a tall, thin "man" apppearing out of thin air. I have investigated the rumors and found out several homeless individuals are missing. Not so strange, I know. What is strange is that they left behind their few belongings and pet dogs. There are a few things that come to mind but do not correlate with the data I have. Oh, one other clue i have deals with a strange footprint in the mud. It is roughly 12 inches long, 3 toes and perhaps claws/talons. As I learn more I'll inform you. Any thought would be most helpful.

What time is your show on? I'd like to tune in.

Please don't tell me Portland has supernatural tasmanian devils! I was doing a story awhile back about how a zoologist in San Diego brought a mating pair over from Tasmania. He thought they were a new breed. New breed they were not! Supernatural breed they were! They proceeded to puree the zoologist like a food processor and escaped. Last we heard they made their way into Mexico, where stories of such creatures coined "el diablo" wreaking havoc on the country side are not at all uncommon. Sources at the zoo, speaking under condition of anonymity, informed me that a team of highly specialized "problem solvers" did manage to kill one of them and its offspring. So, we can only hope that they put a stop to anymore being produced. But judging by the flood of similar stories all across central and south america, my guess is that there's lots of them now. In fact, one may conclude that central and south america provide a "native" climate for them. I truly hope they're not in Portland! Nasty, nasty creatures they are!

You want to find supernatural stuff? Head down to the Paris on Burnside, there are some crazy things going on down there.

Nah, I got the inside lead on Saturday market. It's a hex war. Seems there are two shops in the building across from Skidmore Fountain. The one upstairs has a bad location so they decided to put a hex on the other shop. Unfortunetly for them, the other shop had good wards. So the hex rebounded. You know what they say. You get it back 3 fold. Still, not a pleasant place to go. Found all that out while I was at the Thai shop there picking up a Sarong.

Anthony,

Consider Portland extremely lucky. Your description of the footprint (12 inches long, 3 toes and perhaps claws/talons) is what made me suspect supernatural tasmanian devils. They have a similar footprint.

hmm....could be mudman though.

Mudman? Didn't Primus write a song about him?

no...that was a coyote/bugs bunny dedication I think
Because everybody knows.....MUD spelled backwards is DUM

LOL
serious though, my information shows that mudman is not anything to be toyed with.

What i'm told is it's roughly about 8 feet tall and incredibly strong. Seems to only hunt on extremely foggy nights. I'll see if I can find the police report on the last series of casualties he was reported as doing. Hmm, casualties would mean that they all survived. Ok, the last set of deaths he was responsible for.

The guy who appeared out of thin air, might have been a mage. My guess is gargoyals. Though, the ones that I've dealt with have been nice to complete megalomaniacs. Rather like humans!

Also, you said they had dogs, correct? All of them?

Megalomaniac? As in the KMFDM song? What's up with all the music references in this thread?

Please stop posting this tripe here.

Ok...sorry...my shrink did inform me that I have a tendency of making light of situations that really make me nervous. It's a kind of "defense mechanism" he tells me. Although when dealing with the supernatural, I feel that it does come in handy. But I'm not about to tell my shrink that...he'd have me locked up!

Well, I was listening to my police scanner today. Not good. I must have called it down upon us. Turns out it was incredibly foggy last night. The weatherman today was saying it was worse than San Francisco ever gets. Anyways, they had a cop on the scanner calling a code 30 (officer needs help - emergency) apparently a patrol officer had lost radio contact last night when he was patrolling in Milwaukie, OR. near Elk Rock Island. During low rain conditions there is a land bridge that you can walk across. There had been a report of a 10-91c (injured animal) so the cop (Phil Lancaster) went to check it out. I guess they found his body this morning. His patrol car was missing a door and the engine block was about 20 feet behind the car. Lots of empty pistol casings were found at the scene. It appears that besides his entire ribcage being shattered the attacker decided it would be a good idea if Officer Lancaster could see what was going on behind him(read head completely twisted around on his neck). Odd thing was, nobody heard the gunshots, no tracks were found, and why didn't the police station think it odd that he didn't check in? Something wicked this way comes indeed. Perhaps if Sean and Anthony are willing to check this out I can snoop around for some more details.

This news from Portland seems most troubling-Although the fact that it was the Hawthorne Bridge makes very good sense that was one of the most Magically active places in the city when I was in college there nearly a decade ago- Check at Powells on Hawthorne; the main store I know is bigger but the clerks on Hawthorne normally know what is going on. I am suspecting a Mage or Witch possibly demonic, Perhaps gathering an army? no one woould notice homeless missing inones and twos and there are many courious buildings in Portland where you could hide people (especially if they no longer need to eat or breathe). I am sorry but I am far to laid up at present to be of any use to you in a fight but I will help with reserch and will try to contact friends I have in the region-

Hmmm...this truly sounds fascinating. Perhaps I need to schedule a trip to Portland. I hear you guys have keno machines in every bar...yes, I think this is the making of a great story!

come on over, I'm sure Anthony and Sean would be happy to give you the guided tour. Let you check out the Micro Brews too. Maybe give you a tour of the Shanghai tunnels

I'll be flying into Portland on Saturday...I'll email you guys my itinerary...besides being a reporter, I think you'll find my other talents useful to this investigation.

God Speed,

Randy

Your Eyewitness makes me think that this maybe some type of Psycic Feeder a creature that preys on Humans but leaves no bones; I will try and check in my books later today for Information on those type of creatures I also agree that you are facing two very diffrent Supernatural problems May Light protect you and all who go with you St V.

still working on the F.B.I. from my side. I'll let you know when I have the info you need.

I am sorry I was...delayed; I fear for Opie as well the evidence seems to point more and more toa varation of the "Lorrana" aka the weeper. a melovlent spirt who leads people to there deaths here it seems also to feed. The happy running to it (and Opies seeing da' ) seems to suggest that the spirt takes the form of a beloved person to the one enthralleed although others who have perception see it for what it is I am very glad you are taking friend Approching it alone is sucide. Although there is a very remote chance that the persons that it has fed on might be "found" inside it and recalled top life although I doubt unharmed. the fact that it is feeding so often is also distubing perhaps I should start gathering allies to come and assist

Or something very similer; you of course understand that stories vary- but the constent's are here: the voice of one longed for and the proximity of water seem to fit. Since you have access to mass media I would suggest telling everyone to avoid going alone in the Hawthorne area-Simply because of the disapperances (in my experience it is better to tell them as much as they can deal with and leave out the details.) Those who are more "aware" may feel the danger allready as Opie did intially. You will need allies Might I suggest the Rose King? he normally does not leave his own area but it does not hurt to ask. You may also wish to find a reliable Medium -unfortunatly the one I knew in that city is gone. If she can contact the victims well at least you will know if not it may be therotically possible to restore the victims once the Creature is vanquished. I am courious though about 2 things 1. The voice you heard saying begone- which may mean this is a summend creature - and 2. how did it respond to physical attack? you said you shot it with a special bullet and hurt it correct? If so I am guardedly confident the majority of victims may still be alive- If you wish more help let me know Iam wheelchair bound but not without friends St V

humbly yours,

I concur with St Vincent. You should make haste to speak with the Rose King. He might be able to provide you with information and some form of protection against this unknown. I'd suggest looking for him in the most obvious spot.
