Headline of the Week

VIRAL / UNVERIFIED SAN ANTONIO "WOLF-LIKE CREATURE" PARK CLAIM

Week of May 19–25, 2026 — viral Reddit / San Antonio Current

A viral Reddit post, covered by the San Antonio Current, claims a wolf-like creature stalking San Antonio (TX) city parks. The item carries no date-of-encounter, no physical evidence, and no investigator assessment — a social-media virality story rather than a fact-of-record dated encounter. Not added to the Texas dashboard. Logged as the week's most-circulated fresh cryptid item; watch for a credible dated report or evidence.

New State-Level Reports This Week

No confirmed new US paranormal reports tied to a specific state were identified during the week of May 19 – May 25, 2026 that warranted addition to any dashboard. Primary databases (bfro.net, ghostsofamerica.com, theshadowlands.net, woodape.org) remained unreachable via direct fetch from the automated environment; report data was compiled from web search snippets and news coverage. No state dashboard files were modified this week.

Cryptid Watch — Deep Carry

BIGFOOT NE OHIO "FLAP" — WEEK ~11–12, NO NEW CLUSTER

Original cluster March 6–10, 2026 (Portage County)

The NE Ohio Bigfoot "flap" remains in deep carry. CNN / Fox News / KTXS / NewsNation "six sightings in four days" framings continue to recycle the original Mantua / Garrettsville cluster near SR-44 and the Headwaters Trail in Portage County (8–10 ft brown and black figures, Mahoning River woods). No photographs, video, or verified physical evidence; no new May 19–25 cluster sightings. Cycle context only — not added to the Ohio dashboard.

BIGFOOT WIND RIVER HIGHWAY (WA) — ~2.5-WEEK CARRY

Encounter dated May 8, 2026 (Skamania County)

The May 8 Skamania County encounter (retired state contractor; reddish-brown upright figure at a 20-ft embankment near the Stabler / Hemlock Rd corridor, Gifford Pinchot National Forest; BFRO investigator rated the witness "excellent and credible") continues to circulate via Pararational. Now ~2.5 weeks old, not a 24–48h fact-of-record, and no independent physical evidence has surfaced. Cycle context only — not added to the Washington dashboard.

META "EVIDENCE FOR CRYPTIDS IN 2026" DISCUSSION CYCLE

Ongoing — MysteryLores and aggregators

A cycle of explainer/meta pieces on what would constitute irrefutable cryptid evidence in the AI-video era continues (MysteryLores and others). Feature framing, not a sighting; logged for community context.

Hauntings & Ghost Activity

ROUNDUP NAMED-LOCATION GHOST CARRY

Aggregator carry through May 25

Aggregated North American ghost-sighting coverage continues to recycle recurring named-location activity (Stull KS, the Elms Hotel MO, Gettysburg PA, the Bell Witch Cave TN) plus aging-hospital activity. None are individual fact-of-record dated encounters in the week's window; none added to any dashboard.

Context & Outlook

Event Calendar (May 25–31, 2026)

American Hauntings ghost-hunt programming continues at Alton, IL area locations. No major paracon events in the window (Parapsycon and Pennhurst Paracon both concluded mid-May).

Watch Points for Next Week (May 26 – Jun 1)

(1) Whether the San Antonio "wolf-like creature" claim produces a dated report, photo/video, or investigator follow-up. (2) Whether the NE Ohio flap generates a verifiable new cluster or physical evidence. (3) Whether any fresh, state-attributable cryptid or haunting encounter surfaces via BFRO/Pararational/regional news. (4) Upcoming summer paranormal-investigation and ghost-hunt event announcements.
