More from Metaphortean Carl Diehl, here are videos of his “Blobsquatch in the Expanded Field” from 2006-2007, and, at the bottom, his visual and sound tribute to the Patterson-Gimlin footage on the occasion of its 40th anniversary in 2007, his “Crypto-Zoetropical Pursuit.” These are not for the intellectually faint of heart or sensitive of hearing. Diehl takes Sasquatch, Globsters, and various other cryptids and phenomena to places they have never been before. His exploration of the fringe creatures at the outer edges of twilight language exists alongside his interactions of sound-noise-music-feedback-mistakes played out in terms of his blobsquatchery. Carl Diehl’s [...]

The Sexy Sarcastic Grey Area
Monica Rawlins and Melissa Hovey are launching a new internet radio program called “The Grey Area,” tonight, June 4, 2008, at 8:00 PM Central/9:00 PM Eastern on Talkshoe. Art by Wetaworkshops’ Daniel Falconer of New Zealand. The name of the show is a nod to the many “grey areas” in the hunt for Bigfoot. Nothing can be proven, as of yet, and no one is an expert; it’s all grey, says Melissa Hovey. Click on this link for the show’s website. The show’s description proclaims: Straight forward in your face commentary [is shared] about the issues surrounding Bigfoot Research and [...]
Blogsquatching: Interface and Malfunction
Carl Diehl’s Metaphortean Space nicely adds a shiny chrome, intellectually-friendly frame around his insights into “blogsquatching”: An interface is typically designed to make the new domain easier for a “user” to comprehend. When this remediation works, the user is fairly oblivious to the crossing-over that is going on. On the contrary, malfunction typically calls attention to the collision of worlds, maintaining itself as burden on presumed purposes. This sort of dissonance might seem to complicate the credibility of such a thing as “the interface of malfunction.” If there is hesitation…so be it. An experiential and interpretative encounter with this mechanism [...]
Meanwhile, $50,000 For Pepie
Bushnell may be putting out there a million dollars for a Bigfoot trail camera photograph, but there are lesser goals available. In Minnesota, the Lake City Tourism Bureau has offered a $50,000 reward for hooking, netting or capturing on a camera a large, serpentlike creature living in the Mississippi River’s Lake Pepin below Maiden Rock. Lake Pepin is a naturally occurring lake, and the widest naturally occurring part of the Mississippi River. It is a widening of the river on the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is 21 miles long, with a surface area of about 40 square miles [...]
Appalachian Winged Weirdies, 2007-2008
Pennsylvania researcher Stan Gordon has passed along this report to me for sharing at Cryptomundo: +++ More Huge Flying Creature Sightings In Pennsylvania by Stan Gordon, 6/4/2008 This past February, I wrote about a man who reported a very close observation of a giant bird in neighboring West Virginia in late September or early October, 2007. The man was driving on a rural two lane roadway outside of the town of Clendenin, at about 8 A.M. when he had to step hard on his brakes, to avoid hitting a giant flying creature in the middle of the road. The giant [...]

Editorial: Bushnell, Wake Up!
Will anyone be killed in the woods? Someone has got to ask the hard question about the $1,000,000 Sasquatch challenge. The Bushnell’s $1,000,000 Sasquatch Photo Challenge may be creative, a great piece of publicity for trail cameras, and gain some potentially intriguing photos. But at what cost? Obviously, the company took the hoaxsters into consideration with this “Bonus Category” add-on in their contest: For all you jokers out there – we’re giving away an additional Bushnell Trail Scout Pro camera for your best attempt to cheat Bushnell out of their $1,000,000 prize. So go grab your gorilla suit and head [...]
Bushnell’s Official Release
Bushnell has directly sent me their official release. This occurred after I had already found and posted this news on Cryptomundo, as I was watching their site. See earlier blogs, please. Nevertheless, I’ll post their release, as well, unedited below. (Note to Bushnell’s panel: I think you need some definition assistance with your “Sasquatch,” “Bigfoot,” and “Yeti” parameters as noted here, and your exclusion of “apes” in the official rules!) ++++++ Find Sasquatch And Win a $1,000,000 And Other Great Gear From Bushnell, Field & Stream Overland Park, KS — Bushnell Outdoor Products and Field & Stream magazine want you [...]

Bushnell has published their rules and press release: Your Chance To Win Gear (and a Million Bucks) By Sending Us Your Trail Cam Photos! We’re not saying we believe in Sasquatch, but if anyone’s ever going to capture an image of one, we’re guessing it’ll be a hunter with a trail camera. That’s why Bushnell is offering a chance at $1,000,000 to the first person using one who snaps a verifiable photo of the beast. But just in case no Bigfoots wander your way, the editors at Field & Stream magazine are giving away great Bushnell gear for the best [...]
Coming Soon: One Million Dollars of Bigfoot Blur?
Recently, I posted about the upcoming contest, “Bushnell: $1,000,000 For Bigfoot Trail Cam Photo.” I noted the outdoors products company Bushnell will soon be offering a million dollars for “a verifiable photo of Sasquatch with your trail camera.” As was mentioned earlier, one of the most famous recent “alleged Bigfoot” photos taken with a Bushnell trail camera was the probable bear image (following) labeled by the media as a “juvenile Sasquatch”: One of the other examples of a possible “trailcam Bigfoot” that I shared was the following one, taken on April 30, 2006, in the Mt. Hood National Forest, near [...]
