Juan Antonio Cebrián, only 41 years of age, has died of a sudden heart attack on the evening of October 20, 2007. The report was issued by the radio station where he was working, Onda Cero, at 1:00 a.m., Sunday, 21 October 2007. News of this shocking, sudden loss reverberates throughout Spain’s forteana/cryptozoo/paranormal/ufology community, according to Scott Corrales, director of Inexplicata. Cebrián, who may be [...]
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 [...]
Bigfoot & The Dover Demon in Red Sox Nation

Don has his Ohio State shirt on for the first night of the conference, and then proudly wore his Cleveland Indians outfit for the night of his presentation, while in the midst of Red Sox Nation.

Binnall, ever the good writer and journalist, is an excellent interviewer. [...]
Kiwi’s Taniwha
On Tuesday, October 16, I agreed to be on one of the many radio shows I do around Halloween every year. For whatever reason, mainstream and alternative radio both enjoy cryptozoology more around October 31. I suppose the annual holiday allows them the freedom to talk about monsters, creatures, and cryptids without looking over their shoulders at their programmers and sponsors. Anyway, frequently I don’t know much about a show I agree to go onto, there are so many these days. With the internet shows, well, it can get overwhelming. But certainly, if Australia calls up and asks if I’ll [...]
Binnall, Keating, and Me
Tim Binnall, a radio journalist of some note, attended the Mass Monster Mash and gathered several interviews. Watch his site, Binnall of America for his forthcoming commentary and interviews. John Horrigan, an excellent host and conference organizer, honored Tim with two well-deserved recognition plaques on both nights of the events. Tim also took photographs. He is the first to publish images from the conference on the web. Here’s two: Tim with me and Tim with Don Keating. Don gave a good Fortean talk on his “White Sasquatch” video, and I gave the first lecture of my life exclusively on the [...]
