Genius, comedian, scholar, humorist, author, and man of letters, John Hodgman is known by most today as the “PC Guy” in the Apple ads. (Of course, Hodgman is pro-Mac, having had one since 1984, like I have, but that’s neither here nor there or anyplace else, really.) I think John Hodgman is the world’s most intelligent comedian, and his interest in cryptozoology is well-known to a few, especially hobo friends of mine. His book, The Areas of My Expertise, will be upheld by future generations as one of the brightest pieces of 21st century literature, as it could well be [...]

Let Freedom Ring: Mystery Deer Runs Away
Perhaps he had picnic plans with friends on the 4th? Guess who is on the lam again? An Animal Control officer handles a tranquilized deer after it led police on a chase through downtown South Bend, Indiana, on June 26, 2008. The deer has since escaped from an animal rehabilitation center. (WSBT photo) Unbelievably, the unidentified deer that was found wandering in the streets of South Bend, Indiana, (see video here) which has remained unidentified, has escaped and is back in the wild. Or not unbelievably. “He’s out in the wild somewhere,” said South Bend Animal Control Manager Gary Libbey. [...]
Chameleon Species Is Born & Dies In Year
OSU Press Release by John David Sutter An Oklahoma State University researcher gained national attention this week for figuring out that a bizarre chameleon species on the island of Madagascar is born and dies within a year. For more than 100 years, people had known about the tiny chameleon species Furcifer labordi, but no one noticed that it was living a furious life in hyper-drive — a life more like those of annual plants or short-lived insects than that of an animal with a spine, said Kris Karsten, the OSU student who published his doctorate research this week in the [...]

GI Joe: Search for the Sasquatch
For the long Independence Day weekend, how about some light matters to enjoy? Sean Whitley, writer/director of Southern Fried Bigfoot, has run across a couple new items of interest. The first is a limited edition “Search for the Sasquatch” set (see above). It was an exclusive item sold at the Official GI Joe Convention held in Dallas, Texas, which Sean and his brother attended last weekend. At $270.00 (that’s not a typo), the set was too expensive for Sean, but he snapped some pictures he wanted to share with Cryptomundians. There is also a new video that goes along with [...]
New Zealand’s Kaiwaka Lion
Scott Parker points to where the “Lion” was spotted. Reports of a Mystery Cat, said to look like a “lion,” have the Northland of New Zealand as the seat of much excitement these days. The giant alleged wild cat, described as a lion, was seen by Kaiwaka firefighter Allan Swanson’s son Carl, 18, during an urban search and rescue exercise in a quarry at Kaiwaka, 90 minutes north of Auckland, on May 29, 2008. Swanson was about 30 metres away from the beast when he saw it on the ridge of the Parker Lime Company quarry. Swanson says other locals [...]
Western Bigfoot Society: Bluff Creek & Beelart
The following is the overview of Ray Crowe’s Western Bigfoot Society (the WBS is no longer called the International Bigfoot Society) meeting of June 28, 2008, by the man who did the talking, Joseph “Joe” Beelart. So there will be no confusion by those chroniclers of this history, Beelart was interested in seeing these notes published and approached me. I agreed after an exchange of notes about some suggested grammar and clarification edits from my end that would be necessary for me to see this on Cryptomundo. You will note that Joe Beelart is one of the sources of the [...]
In Search of Thylacine Replicas
Matthew Bille, author of Shadows of Existence and other books, approached me with a question over the weekend, which I have seriously pondered often: Where are the Thylacine replicas? Does no one produce affordable, hard-plastic, scale-model, museum-quality representations of the Thylacine (a.k.a. Tasmanian Tiger)? Does not Thylacinus cynocephalus, the wolf-headed pouched dog, one of the celebrities of extinct animals thought to be a living cryptid, deserve a replica? Such replicas are helpful in lectures, exhibitions, and educational demonstrations about well-known and often-mentioned current or recent cryptid expeditions and research. Where are the Thylacine models? Surely, it would be as popular [...]
Bigfoot Massacre Hits Magazine
The blood of the Bigfoot “massacre theory” will flow from the pages of a magazine later this summer. Within a month or so, you will be able to read an article’s recounting of the “Bigfoot Massacre” fiasco in TAPS Paramagazine. The essay will be a 4000-word overview of the entire short history of this “theory,” the “speculation,” and the resulting reactions.
