A new work has been published by Crypto-Logos in Russia, entitled Bigfoot Research: The Russian Vision. It appears it will soon be offered by Hancock House. (I have not seen a review copy yet.) The book’s author is Dmitri Bayanov; it was compiled by Christopher L. Murphy, and edited by Roger Knights.

Orange Raccoons, Dover Demons & Green Eyes
It’s been called an “orange,” a “blond,” and a “red” raccoon. Certainly, it is a rare color phase of a common raccoon that was trapped in Greene County, Indiana, late in February and then again in March 2008. It is slowly getting more and more attention. It’s been featured in the local media in Indiana, and I heard a short story about it on Field and Stream radio last weekend. I think people are catching and releasing the same little tan-color-phase raccoon or its relatives. It got me to wondering, how would have people described this if it hadn’t been [...]
Happy Valley Horror?
Happy Valley group concerned school will harm Bigfoot habitat A local environmental group has vowed to stop construction of a new Coweta elementary school, claiming the work will destroy the habitat of a Bigfoot-like creature known as the Happy Valley Horror. “The Board of Education of Coweta County is going to build a new elementary school on Jim Starr Road and forever change our quiet country life,” said Michael Bright, head of the newly-formed group Save The Happy Valley Horror (STHVH). “My concern is that this area is known to be the home of the infamous and rare Happy Valley [...]

Gynormous larkosuros Discovered
They, in turn, forwarded the picture to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, which is where Cape Cod keeps all of its smart people. Woods Hole sent a team, led by famed archeologist, Dr. A. J. Oke, to the site. Within an hour Dr. Oke confirmed that the January storm had exposed one of the largest flying dinosaurs ever discovered. This huge creature is known to paleontologists as “Gynormous larkosuros” and is thought to have been 17 feet long, with a 25-foot wingspan. Suddenly, every ancient bone-freak in the world was headed to Orleans. Source for the rest of the story… Hint [...]
Happy Birthday, Lon Chaney!
April Fool’s Day is Lon Chaney’s birthday. Chaney (April 1, 1883 – August 26, 1930) was an American film actor, nicknamed “The Man of a Thousand Faces,” whose macabre characterizations are classics of the silent screen. Both of Chaney’s parents were deaf, and as a child of deaf adults, Chaney became skilled in pantomime, which can be seen in his skilled acting for his many difficult roles. He is especially remembered as the Phantom of the Opera (above) and the Hunchback of Notre Dame (directly below). Chaney had many bizarre, almost Fortean roles, including the clown Flik in Laugh, Clown, [...]

First Bigfoot, Now A Wombat!
Did someone in New Zealand get wind of the “Molester Blames Bigfoot” story of last week, and decide to float the following about? Humm, I guess I could have posted this on my “copycat effect” blog. But it seems more likely that it is another one for the “humans-are-weird-animals” file. BTW, there are three kinds of wombats: The common wombat (Vombatus ursinus), also known as the naked nosed wombat or the forest wombat; the southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons); and the critically endangered northern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii). The kind of wombat in this story was not defined. I share [...]
