Hood, it feels like your magnifying glasses may be polished off for another look at the “Mystery Fish Photo.” If you are new here, then you have to see this one too, and have your say. As oldtimers may recall, despite speculations, theories, thoughts, rumors, ideas, hypotheses, and claims, this longest standing mystery at Cryptomundo has never been fully solved. The postcard photo, originally sent to me by Phyllis Mancz of Ohio, has become such an enigmatic icon that it became part of the [...]

Variety is reporting on July 10, 2008 that Columbia Pictures has acquired a new motion picture property, Mythological Veterinarian.

Modern Sightings Of Flying Monsters, sends along word of the death of Guadalupe Cantu III, a historically significant participant in Texas Big Bird matters: I was very saddened yesterday [July 8, 2008] to learn of the passing of my friend Guadalupe Cantu III recently.
