Mermen & Aquatic Humanoids Reported in the Caspian Sea

From Phantoms and Monsters and Lon https://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/

There have been recent rumors that the Government of Iran has launched an investigation of the Runan-shah after several sightings of a ‘merman’ by fisherman in the Caspian Sea.There has been recent interest in mermaids and if there’s a possibility, in some capacity, that these are actual living creatures.

For several years, residents of coastal areas around the southern and southwestern Caspian Sea have been reporting of an amphibious creature resembling a human being. In March 2005 an eyewitness account from the crew of the Baku, an Azeri trawler, was published by Iranian newspaper Zindagi: “That creature was swimming parallel course near the boat for a long time,” said Gafar Gasanof, a captain of the ship.

“At the beginning we thought it was a big fish, but then we spotted hair on the head of the monster and his fins looked pretty strange. The front part of his body was equipped with arms!” said the captain. Back in Azerbaijan, nobody took his story seriously. It sounded ridiculous to those who thought that the guy must have been drinking while on board.

On the contrary, shortly after the publication of his interview, the offices of the Iranian paper got flooded with numerous letters of the readers who claimed that the story was yet another piece of evidence proving the existence of the so-called “man of the sea.” The readers pointed out that many fishermen had repeatedly seen the strange creature at sea and on shore after the seabed volcanoes in the area of Babolsera had come to life in February and offshore oil production operations had intensified in the Caspian.

All the eyewitness accounts provide a similar description of the marine humanoid. His height is 165-168 cm, he has a strong build, a protruding ctenoid stomach, his feet are pinniped and he has four webbed fingers on either of his hands. His skin is of moonlight color. The hair on his head looks black and green. His arms and legs are shorter and heavier than those of a medium-built person. Apart from his fingernails, he has nails growing on the tip of his aquiline nose that look like a dolphin’s beak. No information as to his ears. His eyes are large and orbicular. The mouth of the creature is fairly large, his upper jaw is prognathic and his lower lip flows smoothly into the neck, his chin is missing.

Iranians dubbed the creature Runan-shah or “the master of the sea and rivers.” The name is partly based on stories about large shoals of fish accompanying the creature at sea. Other stories refer to the waters that would turn crystal clear and stay that way for two or three days after the creature was seen swimming in those areas. Fishermen claim that fishes that stay alive for a while in the net can feel the creature coming out of the deep blue sea. Fishes were reported producing barely heard gurgling sounds as the monster came near. He was said to answer the call of the catch by making similar throaty sounds.

Some researchers believe that there is no smoke without fire and the stories circulating in Iran can be true. Besides, Runan-shah was seen by Azeri fishermen living in the villages located between the cities of Astara and Lenkoran. According to a theory, the creature is not alone; there is a family of underwater humans who are on a mission … to tackle environmental problems of the Caspian.

The Caspian Runan-shah is not the only species of underwater humans on record. Both Herodotus and Plato believed that original human beings were amphibious and might have founded an underwater state.

A book of collected scientific articles titled “The Universe and Humankind” that was published in St. Petersburg in 1905 contains a story of “marine female” caught in the Caribbean. It also has stories about dead bodies of the amphibious humans washed ashore in the Azores in 1876. Their descriptions largely correspond with the reported description of Runan-shah.

An amphibious humanlike being was reported in Karelia in 1928. The creature was repeatedly seen in the lake of Vedlozero by local residents. A group of researchers from the Petrozavodsk University arrived to investigate the case on location. Unfortunately, the findings were classified and the members of the research party eventually perished in the Gulag.

According to latest reports in the media, Iranians have already started their research of the Caspian phenomenon. The international scientific community might as well help unravel the mystery if politics do not get in the way of science this time around.

THE “BAKU” TRAWLER REPORTS

NOTE: I found 2 independent sighting reports filed by the Azerbaijani government and BBS News. Not a great difference in the reports which may indicate that the witnesses were consistent. Information is somewhat scarce in reference to other sightings of this creature which is not surprising. The Caspian Sea holds a great number of sturgeon (4 different species) that can become quite large and be mistaken for the creature. Though, you would think a fisherman would know the difference. Lon


Location/Date: Caspian Sea, Astara & Lenkoran Azerbaijan – March 2005 – Afternoon

Residents of a few towns on the Caspian shores in Iran and Azerbaijan say they have seen an amphibious man, he was reported to be swimming amidst huge shoals of fish. Rumor has it that the waters where he swam were becoming sparkling clear. Recently eyewitnesses onboard the Azeri trawler, “Baku” reported seeing the creature. According to Gafar Gasanof the captain of the trawler, the creature was swimming in a parallel course near the boat for a long time. At first they thought it was a large fish, but then they spotted hair on its head and his fins looked very unusual. And incredibly the front part of his body was equipped with arms. Shortly after this report was published in an Iranian newspaper, numerous readers came forward describing their own sightings. The readers pointed out that numerous fishermen had repeatedly seen the strange creature at sea and on the shore after seabed volcanoes in the area of Babolsera became active in February and offshore oil production operations intensified in the Caspian. All the eyewitness accounts provide a similar description of the marine humanoid. His height is about 165cm to 168cm, it has a protruding stomach, his feet are pinniped and he has four webbed fingers on either of his hands. His skin is pale white in color. The hair on his head looks black and green. His arms and legs are shorter and heavier than those of a medium-build person. Apart from his fingernails, he has nails growing on the tip of his aquiline nose that resembles a dolphin’s beak. There is no information as to his ears. His eyes are large and orbicular. The mouth of the creature is fairly large, his upper jaw is protruding and his lower lip flows smoothly into the neck, his chin is missing. Iranians have dubbed the creature, “Runan-shah” or “Master of the seas and rivers”. Other stories report that the waters remain crystal clear for days in the area where the creature has been spotted. Fishermen report that the fish that are caught in their nets seem to sense the creature when it approaches and produce a barely audible gurgling sound. It is said that the creature answers the call of the catch by making similar throaty sounds. According to a theory the creature is not alone and that there is a family of underwater humans, who are on a mission.to tackle environmental problems in the Caspian. The reproduction of flora and fauna in the Caspian has significantly deteriorated due to a surge in offshore oil production operations and underwater volcanic activity. The Astrakhan fishermen have long complained about the decrease in the stock of sturgeon.

Location/Date: Caspian Sea territorial waters of Azerbaijan – end of March 2005

Azerbaijani fishermen from the trawler “Baky” (Baku) were stunned to see a weird entity in the water. The entity swam for a long period of time near the trawler, parallel to it, reported Gafar Gasanov Captain of the ship to the local newspaper “Zindagi” when he arrived at the Iranian port of Enzeli. At first the crew thought that the entity was some type of unknown large fish, but soon they noticed that the entity’s head had distinct hairs on it and the front fins were not fins at all but webbed hands. They acknowledged that the entity looked more like a humanoid than any kind of known fish. They all concluded that they had never seen something like it in the waters. The amphibian entity then plunged deep into the waters and disappeared from sight. When Captain Gasanov returned to Azerbaijan people there refused to talk to him about the incident alleging that he and his crew had all been drunk. But the Iranians took the report seriously because of numerous rumors about “a man from the sea” were circulating in Iran long before this report. After publication in the local newspaper “Zindagi” local Iranian residents wrote numerous letters to the newspaper reporting their own encounters with a similar entity. The common opinion was that underwater volcanic activity in the area of Babolser and the intensification of oil extraction in the Caspian Sea has somehow caused unknown deep water dwellers to venture up to the surface. The entity is shorter than that of the average height, about 165-168cm, thickset, with a protruding belly, feet with flippers, and 4 fingered webbed hands. The skin is pale yellowish gray in color and it has stiff black-green hair. Arms and legs are slightly shorter and thicker than that of humans. Sharp nails grow on its hands and also at the tip of its hump-shaped nose, forming something like a dolphin’s beak. The ears are not visible. The eyes are big and round and the mouth is quite big with a protruding upper jaw, smoothly connected to the neck, without chin, the smaller lip is similar to that of a shark’s jaw. In Iran this amphibian humanoid is called “Runah-Shah” which means, “Sovereign of waters and rivers”. Interestingly the fishermen have noticed that the fish seemed to react when the entity appears, like if there were some kind of distant, extra sensory communication between the entity and the fish. Other witnesses reported seeing the same or similar entity in May between the small fishing villages of Astara and Lenkoran.—–In ancient mythology, the Caspian Sea also has its own Atlantis that appears to have disappeared in the waters. The fabled city of Ithil might be one of them. This flourishing city built on the 9th century in the coast of Northern Dagestan was the capital of the Khazar Khaganat. But the city simply suddenly vanished.
Ithil echoes the story of Sabayil castle, whose remains lies under the water. Sabayilis mentioned in the Quran, Muslim holy book, as being located in the land of Saba. There were people worshipping the Sun and because of their disobedience to God, their land was submerged by the waters. Sabayil can also be linked to a story involving Alexander the Great. The Macedonian king was willing to conquer a city with a splendid castle by the Caspian Sea. Unable to gain the consent of the inhabitants, Alexander sought the advice of Aristotle who pointed out that the city and castle were built on a large rock over the city. Thus, a special liquid was made in order to dissolve the rock, resulting in the flooding of the city.
Many other local myths have nourished stories about the Caspian Sea. Hidden treasures are said to be hidden all over the coast by the Cossack leader Stenka Razin, after his pillage of the Caspian Coast. These stories find their origin in the nature of the Caspian Sea, which is an unusual object of wonders as well as a natural paradise.

The Otherside of Darkness and Light


In today’s day and age, it seems like there is so much happening on the ethereal plane that is exploding in our dreams and psyche. Strategic battles for humanity swell being, the battle of wills, and the card game of chance all play upon people’s desire to succeed sometimes bluffing their way through life.

For the most part, we as humans can’t always see the details of specific outcomes because of ethereal negotiations for our very existence that are surreptitious at best in the matrix of agendas.


Could it be, we don’t want to see anything that changes our perceived comfort level of existence? If anything, if we can see our reality, touch it or feel it, it’s palatable at least it seems for most people.


If we think about this palatability, it makes little sense, at least not in the
typical, daily grind kind of way. Do we touch God by holding a bible or pushing open the church doors? Do we feel the brush of Angel’s wings when the wind blows through our hair?

Does incense become the essence of how Heaven smells or does
it helps us know or understand what smells might accompany the presence of God or the Angels?

Religion is humanity’s brick and mortar, the connection to the invisible realms that seems tangible and attainable. Psalms, legendary tales, and religious verses give us the sustenance we crave but to what extent do they jive with today’s world.

I get confused when I hear about the Fallen Angels who I have read are also known as the Annunaki or Nephilim. I know their existence is written about in Sumerian tablets but how close is this similarity? Depending on which religion or culture has inscribed their belief or definition, it’s hard to tell who is closest to the truth or who is fantastical in their storytelling.

So who are the Fallen Ones? There seems to be a continued craze to keep these beings in our mindset sometimes with an almost idiosyncratic enthusiasm that
seems to be based on morbid curiosity.

The Fallen Ones have so many different names that for all intentions and purposes, you can decide on which name fills the blank in the best.
How do these beings enter our lives and create havoc? As an Empath, I have
wondered this very thing especially when I see the pain and sorrow that is caused by their intrusion.

As humans, we are a very unique species because we have something about us that can only be achieved by being born on this planet. We are carried within the womb by our mother’s who themselves were carried in the same way by their mothers. This means that all mothers have one thing in common, which is the earth’s frequency they pass down to their children. We are born with earth’s frequency as our insignia which allows us to live upon her and thrive.

It’s an amazing birthright and one of the greatest gifts given to humankind.
Our bodies are vessels that are a great commodity because we have the ability to feel and express emotions to such soaring heights that we are light shows of epic proportions. I think the Dark ones are intrigued by our ability to feel. This is why they invade or occupy our bodies so they can try to experience this ability for themselves.

Alas, for them, they can never experience what they observe because
Earth’s frequency is in the soul. Even if there is a possession of the body, they still can’t come close to what they see us experience yet even still, they continue to try.

The ethereal world seems connected to our planet by the undying and affixed memories of souls passing away either with a predestined or unexpected ending. It seems Hollywood is fixated on scripts that incorporate a ghoulish or dark spirit coming back for vengeance. We can always count on the unmistakable human giving in to the Dark Agenda that either haunts humans or wants to devour them.

This is why society up to this point has a distorted idea of what the darkness is. If we are always portrayed as losing to the Fallen Ones, then society in a twisted and morbid way ends up with a mindset conscious or unconscious, that is defeated. We become ripe for frightening visitations or worse possession if not in body but also the mind.

The morning light in most movies, signifies hope, the unstoppable brilliant fire that illuminates even the deepest and darkest crevices, allowing for humanity’s escape from the unending pursuit of nightmarish ghouls. This hope is signified in angels but not just any angels, the highest, the right hand of God, the doers of good and his will, the Archangels.

If humanity wins in the end, I guess Hollywood feels there isn’t much more to write about. Yet, even with this very misconstrued ideology in the mainstream consciousness, we as a society are starting to get a hold on what kind of reality we want to live in. Running from ghouls is hard work and to be honest, it’s ridiculous to watch another person run from something we wouldn’t want any part of.

Maybe watching someone else go through a scary plot or circumstance, keeps the line in the sand drawn, movies versus reality.
The desolate darkness is the comatose silence that can be deafening to the
senses, the nonexistence of the illuminating soul. Symbols for light and dark have been a part of human history since the consciousness of man and woman could tell the two apart.


I have often wondered how individual choices affect the connection humans have with the earth. Does a dark journey change the outcome of the Earth frequency insignia a person is born with? What kind of role do the Archangels play in our lives? Are they figments of the imagination, written as hope for humanity, or have people really seen them
throughout history? I ask this question not out of jest but more for contemplative reasons.

Personally, I can attest that I have seen Archangel Michael not once but
three times as an adult. I wasn’t near death or having an out-of-body experience. I wasn’t on drugs or hallucinating, it was three times in my life where I had to make a choice.

Archangel Michael has a very unique aura about him and he doesn’t allow for second-guessing. He comes with a mission and then leaves without a second glance. To me, it was never like, did I really just see him kind of thing; it was sitting back and wondering why he took the time to visit me in the first place.

I thought he would be accompanied by more pomp and circumstance but that obviously is just in movies. I saw his sword, the look in his eyes that didn’t always seem friendly but overtly stern. There was one thing about him that will always stay with me, as much as he was to the point of his mission, he always brought the essence, the smell of Heaven, the all-encompassing hope that my soul recognized immediately. This feeling is how humans can tell the difference between the Fallen
Ones and the Archangels.

It’s the soul’s recognition that can tell who is who.
Below the light, the darkness hides and when it comes out, it is invited by those who claim it as their creed, the decadence of their soul that brands them for eternity. These humans are the ones that play with fire and in the end, get consumed by it. When humans partake in the dark realm of rituals, they open portals for the Fallen Ones who can gain entry without having to cross the earth’s borders in disguise.


The Dark Agenda welcomes them because the ultimate goal is to break down the earth’s dominant resonance. This is humanity’s greatest battle because it’s not just good versus evil or light versus dark, it’s our right to exist as we are. How many stories are there in religious books about the Fallen Ones that state they rebelled against God because of us?
The Dark Agenda plays all hands and reads all cards. As humans, we can have the upper hand based on just one thing, the ascension of our soul. All we really need to do is reconnect with our higher source, the divinity within. By doing this, we would understand all that is or ever was or ever will be.

The dark night is just as much a part of us as the light of day. We are the
mysterious, hushed breakthrough, the quiet reflection of the cosmos that allows the shimmering stars to sparkle.
We can shed light on the dark void with the understanding that we know who we are and where we come from ultimately knowing that all along God isn’t just around us but in us. Our souls aren’t for sale; they are the sustenance of divinity from the breath of God.

We are the other side of darkness and light, the two combined. Remembering that the Heavens are in us, is a way to bring out our light
and vindication by making no apology for our place in the Universe. We can stand strong with the Archangels making our choice known, becoming a part of the sovereign remedy instead of being the source of its contention.

Nick Redfern Speaks: Paranormal Bigfoot

Why Do So Many Bigfoot Researchers Ignore the Paranormal Side of the Mystery?

Nick RedfernMarch 6, 2021

Just about everyone – whether they believe in it or not – have heard of the phenomenon of Bigfoot.They are, in essence, perceived by believers as North American, unknown apes. Even non-believers know what the creatures are supposed to be. As someone who has a deep interest in the field of Cryptozoology (a posh term for monster-hunting), I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods looking for the creatures – and particularly where the beasts have been seen regularly and still are seen in those same places. Such examples are the Big Thicket of Texas, the Florida Everglades, and the massive Pacific northwest forests. The creatures are said to be huge in size and, given there are sightings all across the USA, there must be thousands of the things. This brings me to the most important aspect of all this: why can’t we catch them? Even one! The fact is that we have never caught one. DNA is always hazy. Photos are never 100 percent perfect. The same goes for footage that is constantly debated. I wouldn’t mind if the creatures were tiny, little apes – creatures that could probably elude us if they were the size of a squirrel. But, as anyone knows, Bigfoot is not the size of a squirrel! The mysterious animals are giants!

If, as the evidence suggests, these creatures are real , then we really should, by now, have solid evidence for their existence. Even if the evidence only equated to just one body. Or, one live creature. But, not even that happens. How can it be we’re always able to get good, solid, undeniable pictures of deer, bears, etc., but when it comes to Bigfoot, there’s always an issue. Then, there’s the matter of the Bigfoot creatures vanishing before the eyes of startled people. I don’t mean them vanishing into the woods and blending in. I’m talking about them literally becoming invisible. I know of a lot of Bigfoot researchers who flatly refuse to believe that the things can vanish in a second. Yet, there are so many such cases on the record.
The late Rob Riggs, who was a dedicated researcher of the Bigfoot mystery, told me of the many and varied cases he’d come across in which witnesses to the Bigfoot had seen small balls of light surrounding the beasts. He also had reports of electrical equipment malfunctioning when the creatures were around. I have eight cases on record where people claim to have had psychic/ESP-style conversations with the things. Eyes, in some cases, change from normal to blazing red. Theories abound that the Bigfoot can leave our reality and stride into other realms of existence – what we might call multi-dimensions. “Worm-holes,” and “multi-dimensions” are among the words that pop up in such situations. The ability of the Bigfoot to affect peoples’ minds by the use of a low-frequency known as infrasound – a phenomenon that can affect the human mind and make people sick – has become a part of the Bigfoot mystery. Short-term memories can be affected by it. Witnesses feel sick and nauseous. I could go on and on, but, by now, you’ve probably got the point I’m making.

There’s one even bigger mystery that much be addressed: why is that so many Bigfoot seekers/researchers outright refuse to deal with the weirder side of the enigma? That’s one of the main things in this particular field I’ve never been able to understand. As I see it, we should be looking for the creatures, no matter what they are: flesh and blood, paranormal, or occult-based. That Bigfoot enthusiasts would actually get mad because someone told them they saw a Bigfoot vanish in a flash of light – or encountered it covered in flickering lights – is crazy. Ridiculous. Nutty. Everyone in this field should look at each case on its own merit, and not by censoring the data. Yes, censoring in this field does occur. Shame on them who are driven by belief.
Yes, there really are creatures out there that have become known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Skunk Ape and more. But, they’re not what many people believe them to be – or earnestly want them to be. Namely, North American apes that are akin to African gorillas. The Bigfoot creatures have supernatural angles to them. Like it or not, but these things are much more than unknown apes. Trying to catch them like you might try and catch a grizzly bear is utterly pointless.  Zoology will never solve the Bigfoot mystery. But, a paranormal/occult approach, one day, probably will.

Priest exorcist warns public on the danger of patronizing horror films

Published March 5, 2021, 1:37 PM National News

by Leslie Ann Aquino

Warning to those who love watching horror films.

An exorcist priest said patronizing horror films or films that deal with magic and witchcraft is “dangerous” as this could lead to possible demonic possession.

In a Facebook post, Father Ronnie E. Ablong of the Diocese of Dumaguete cited the young woman he has been exorcising as an example.

“I have been exorcising a young woman for many weeks now. Thirty-nine demons have already been cast out. Five of these demons come from the movies the demoniac had watched. The names of the demons are either the primary or secondary characters of these movies,” he said.

“First, Valak ,from the movie The Nun (2018). Second, Esme (Cullen), from the movie Twilight (2008). Third, Sylvia Ganush, from the movie Drag Me to Hell (2009). Fourth, Diana Walter, from the movie Lights Out (2016). And fifth, Annabelle, from the movie, Annabelle (2019),” added Ablong.

He also issued this warning:”Please do not mention or pronounce their names because doing so will empower them or you will be harassed.”

Ablong said the case is still ongoing and that he made his post to warn the public.

“I’m making this post to warn everyone of the certain danger of patronizing horror films or films that deal with magic and witchcraft,” he said.

Ablong explained that no one is possessed overnight.

“Possession is the result of opening a lot of doors to the devil,” he said.

“These doors include occultism (divination, necromancy, magic, sorcery/witchcraft, etc.) and living a habitual life of mortal sin,” added Ablong.
