Adult female lion at Big Cat Rescue in Florida. I have just been contacted by an eyewitness, DJCB, regarding a new mystery cat sighting. On Friday, October 19, 2007, the witness saw a “female lion” on the shoulder of the northbound side of I-65 approximately .5 miles north of exit 98 (10 miles north of Nashville, Tennessee). As DJCB drove south, the large cat stood watching cars zoom by on the highway. The eyewitness described what happened next: I debated on whether or not to call local authorities. Three hours later, I called the TN Wildlife office. As expected, the [...]
Klyver’s Patty
This is a good photograph of the former Pennsylvania art professor Richard Klyver’s solid bronze sculpture, which is permanently housed at the International Cryptozoology Museum. Klyver created the Bigfoot, needless to say, from his sense of the Sasquatch shown in the Patterson-Gimlin footage. The sculpture was recently on temporary display in Watertown, Massachusetts. This photo was taken at the Mass Monster Mash, October 12, 2007, by Don Keating. Used with his permission. If interested in purchasing, please contact Klyver at windigo2@myfairpoint.net to talk to him about PayPal or snail mail check payment. Please click on the image for a larger [...]
Créature de Jacobs
The above photograph is for viewing during the ongoing discussion of the “Jacobs creature” captured via a trailcam. This image may be useful for comparative analysis, as the subject reveals itself nearly bare of hair, as the reality is it could never bear being called a Sasquatch. See Craig’s earlier posting on this topic for more details: click on “Photos of a Juvenile Sasquatch.” Thanks to erb jacques for sharing the mangy bear photograph from Florida.

Owasco Lake Monster
Loch Owasco? That is one of several questions raised by Chad Lewis in “Hidden Headlines of New York: Strange, Unusual and Bizarre Newspaper Stories of 1860-1910.” Among the strange tales Lewis amassed about the Empire State is that of two fishermen who reported seeing a large serpent-like creature in Owasco Lake on July 7, 1889. Fred C. Hayden and James O. Thomas noticed a dark form in the water at Buck Point, on the south end of the lake, that they initially thought was a tree trunk. As they approached it in their boat from a few yards away, they [...]
Good Night Patty
The 40th anniversary party has been a long time coming. The media took note, some interviews were given, gatherings & meetings occurred, and even Boing Boing TV taped for future broadcast, regarding the milestone. Many people have done their best to carry on celebrations from California to Maine, Malaysia to France, and London to Nepal. It was a coast to coast event. Photographs will be published in coming days. In the background, the original film footage lives on. I’ll end today’s posting with this re-visit of Patty and me, by cartoonist Charles Berlin, and the meaning behind it, well, is [...]
In Celebration of Bigfoot’s Patty
Lost in the sands of time is the proper credit for the first person who called the large-breasted Bigfoot filmed with a hand-held camera by Roger Patterson on October 20, 1967, by the name Patty. But Patty she is and Patty she will remain. Here are some popular culture views of how artists and others have remembered hominology’s Patty on the way to her big 40th film debut anniversary. After today, she may not wish to give out her real age to visitors. Jeff H. Johnson’s sculpture of the Patterson Bigfoot (above and below) is a resin model, and not [...]
Bigfoot Film: Happy 40th Anniversary
Once upon a time there were Sasquatch sightings and no film of a Bigfoot in the bush. Those were the early days, before October 20, 1967, when only a few hunters, seekers, searchers, researchers and writers across North America compared notes via a thing called the postal service. Ideas about Bigfoot and Sasquatch were based on artist drawings and sighting descriptions, folklore and native art, and footprints and fecal droppings. In the Dark Time, before computers, email, the internet and stabilization software, the involved researchers, field workers, and authors, all one dozen or so of us, would send thermofax copies [...]
Joey Bishop’s Patterson Bigfoot Link
Joey Bishop’s publicist and longtime friend, Warren Cowan, announced Bishop died from multiple causes at home in Newport Beach, California, on Wednesday, October 17, 2007, aged 89. Joey Bishop (February 3, 1918 – October 17, 2007) was perhaps best remembered as being a member of the “Rat Pack” with Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. He was the last survivor of that group of entertainers. The comedian, who often filled in for Johnny Carson, tried his own hand at a similar show in the 1960s. Few realize that Joey Bishop is part of the history of [...]
