How is everyone, I hope all is well I have been working on several new endeavors, we are working on filming some underwater ghosts, and a few other awesome things we will release later, that hopefully, everyone will find interesting. The A.C.A.P.S. team and I have also been working very hard on a way to help people learn about living with Cryptids.
We have also been trying to bring some resolution into the Cryptid world. As the Director of The American Cryptid And Paranormal Society, I have watched the Cryptid community turn on itself, and break into separate factions that spend more time arguing with each other, than doing the quality research needed to expand the field.
Another issue I see in the community, are people telling Cryptid "Stories" and trying to pass them off as evidence or truthful encounters. This must stop, if it is a story call it a story, not a real encounter. This does nothing but hurt the entire Cryptid community. All we have is our credibility.
All I am asking is for our community to work together, We are capable of collecting an unbelievable amount of good research and evidence. There are enough things working against us, let's all work together as a team!
I intend to send this letter to everyone I know in the Cryptid Community.
Hello,
Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is
Christian MacLeod, and I am the Director of the American Cryptid And Paranormal
Society LLC. I have been investigating the Cryptid and Paranormal phenomena for
over 25 years. In that time, I have seen the communities (both Cryptid and
Paranormal) splinter into many different factions. Many of us fragmented off
into different camps because of different beliefs and lack of faith in other
investigators.
This situation is incredibly sad, and quite frankly,
I want to address the elephant in the room. I firmly believe that most of these
issues stem not only from the differences in belief, but sadly I believe as do
many others that incredibly massive ego problems from some in our community
continue to plague our common interests, causing strife and discontent between
many of us in the Cryptid and Paranormal worlds.
The question is not how we mend our broken fences,
rather when, I would like to propose a solution. On my podcast American Cryptid
And Paranormal Society, I will host a debate between two or more individuals
that quite frankly have a "beef" that seeps into our beloved
communities. All someone must do is contact me and give me the contact
information of the other individual or organization they currently have an
issue with. I promise a fair and impartial opportunity for both sides to give
their evidence and opinions. There will be no arguing or unnecessary language
permitted and the public will make up their minds. In addition, I would like to
have three seasoned Cryptid and Paranormal investigators (the Pannell) on the
live chat asking questions to each of the guests during the debate.
The Pannell will also be arranged fairly and
impartially. The guests will have the opportunity to approve one of the people
on the Pannell, and in the spirit of fairness, they may also eject one member
if they choose. This process will ensure a fair and even playing field, where
the two or more participants can be heard and treated appropriately.
This concept has one prime motivation, to bring a sense
of stability to our organizations and increase a strong appreciation of
community and fellowship among the Cryptid and Paranormal worlds. Think about
all the time wasted in petty squabbles, and all the misspent hours plotting senseless
revenge in a useless war of attrition. How much could we all accomplish if we
worked together as a community? All the questions that need to be answered;
could be. All the evidence we could compose and present to the world could
finally make a difference. All of this is possible if we agree to work with
each other, not against each other.
Finally, my friends, we have a simple choice, we can
all work together and succeed, or we can stay separate and achieve nothing.
This proposal is a simple choice, and I am more than happy to facilitate the
debates. I promise a fair and unbiased proving ground for your theories and
evidence to be presented in a mature and professional setting. Please feel free
to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Christian MacLeod
