The spring accounts for some of the strangest sightings. With the warmer weather finally hitting the northern hemisphere, some strange animals and cryptids may be soon visible along roadways and trails across North America and Eurasia. Here (above) a white moose is seen in Norway. Have any weird sights been reported in your area? Meanwhile, the Brood XIV seventeen-year-cicadas are waking up in the midwestern, border, and a few eastern states of the USA. They were first reported in Ohio in 1804. Their song will soon be a sweet and hauntingly familiar but short part of the evenings in those [...]

San Francisco Pythons by 2020
Some studies indicate that due to projected climate change, pythons will be a common feature of the “alien wildlife” in San Francisco by the year 2020.
Black Lions Prowling
[Reports such as the following are rare, indeed, and do get us solidly back to a cryptozoological frame of mind. Needless to say, for those not knowing, melanistic lions - even in South Africa - are not scientifically verified. - LC] A black lion known to exist is the guard of the Pszczyna castle, Poland, 15th century. From Nelspruit, South Africa, comes this breaking story: Big black lions are said to be roaming the streets of Matsulu township outside the Mpumalanga capital, terrifying residents who say they are too afraid to walk outside at night. Residents have been making anonymous [...]
Jesus and Bigfoot
In a previous recent blog, “Do Right Wingers Hate Bigfoot?,” one comment was made by Amdusias: “On the subject of Jesus and Bigfoot, I have marveled for some time at how much the image on the Shroud of Turin resembles the portrayal of Bigfoot from the Six Million Dollar Man TV series. There must be a connection between that show and DiVinci’s Priory.” (Hopefully, it was left with the same sense of humor you are now reading it. If you don’t have a sense of humor about popular cultural images regarding Jesus or Bigfoot, read no further.) But I think [...]

Sasquatch Assault
Word of another new Bigfoot movie has arrived: Sasquatch Assault. I’m not really interested in writing about it until I see more about the specifics of the cryptid. Anyway, there’s a perfectly good Michael Gingold item that’s already been written about what is known about it at Fangoria. Oh, I’ll share this; the talking point in-house tagline for the flick is “Assault on Precinct 13 with a Sasquatch.” It appears to fit into the new subgenre of blood-and-gore cryptofiction cinema.
Winnipeg’s Sighting Statue
Albert Klyne shows off the statue he made of the creature he says he spotted near his home in 2001. (Jason Halstead, Sun Media). Pick up your computer and turn it on its side, by 90 degrees, or if it is easier, merely tilt your head, to see the proper configuration of the object he carved. He calls himself a sort of Dr. Frankenstein, but Albert Klyne isn’t worried about his creation coming to life. What concerns the 63-year-old, is whether his muse will come back now that his masterpiece is near complete. “It gave me creepy feelings while I [...]

Do Right Wingers Hate Bigfoot?
Let’s try to follow the logic on this one. If you happen to produce a documentary about Jesus Christ that holds a thesis that right wingers don’t like, you can be almost labeled a near-nutcase because you have also produced the documentary “Bigfootville,” according to two conservative bloggers. Your ability to be a critical thinker is called into question if you produce documentaries on Bigfoot and Roswell, but if you raise questions about the story of Jesus Christ (demonstrating your critical thinking?) you are merely called “bogus” because of faults in your “background”? I am not here to defend or [...]
