A TV reporter said he shot a 20-minute video of six “Lake Tianchi Monsters,” near the border with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Zhuo Yongsheng, who works for a local TV station run by the administration office of the nature reserve at Mount Changbaishan, Jilin, has sent pictures of the Loch Ness-type creatures to Xinhua’s Jilin provincial bureau. One of them showed the creatures swimming in three pairs, in parallel. Another showed them together, leaving ripples on the surface of the deep, volcanic lake. Zhuo, director of the TV station’s news center, said he shot the video and [...]

Crawfordsville Bigfoot
The Crawfordsville Review tells a long and wonderful story of one Mr. Hardee, living in that vicinity, who, while out coon-hunting, “was confronted by an appearance” which, he assured the editor, baffles description. By the light of his shell-bark torch, it appeared like a gigantic ape, sitting in the path in front of him. What it was, he had no idea, and the party being yet some distance in the rear, he hesitated about approaching it. His dog, meanwhile, crouched down at his feet, and refused to stir. Thinking it better to advance than retreat, Mr. H. waved his torch [...]

New Hawaiian Shark Discovered
Click here for news of a new species of shark found over 3000 feet deep off Hawaii, as per this KHON broadcast. It survived for five days alive, and was recorded quite closely by scientists and journalists. Funny, its shape and head sort of reminded me of this:
Mothman’s Fate
The image of Mothman has changed in the last forty years. Fiction from the film has shown up as fact in popular culture. Is this Mothman’s fate? I’ve noticed that the drawings of Mothman have evolved, often negatively, from the early days of what the witnesses said they saw to the elaborate fictions we see on the cover of Fate this month. Good art does not equal historical representations or forensic drawings. Mothmen didn’t have hands with four fingers, toes with claws, well-defined rib cages, or leathery wings. Most of those details were not even seen or were described differently. [...]

New Fossil Great Ape Discovery
An ape possibly larger than any other from the Miocene but Gigantopithecus? The announcement of a new big ape, a breaking fossil find out of Turkey, is turning heads. Perhaps the day is growing closer for more finds of Gigantopithecus too? The new fossil great ape discovery appears to be a species of Ouranopithecus, and thus related to the above species, Ouranopithecus macedoniensis. A team from the departments of Anthropology at the University of Ankara, Ankara, Turkey, and the University of Yüzüncüyil, Department of Anthropology, The Faculty of Science and Letters, Van, Turkey has recovered a fossil ape (as a [...]

Taku-He and Cows in South Dakota
On this date, September 7th, in 1974, a calf was found mutilated in Pierce County, Nebraska. The blood had been drained from the animal and the sexual organs removed. The day before, on September 6, 1974, near Jefferson, South Dakota, Jim Douglas saw a very tall, sandy Bigfoot dragging a red furry object through an alfalfa field. The Bigfoot stood and watched Douglas. Three years later, during mid-September 1977, near Little Eagle, South Dakota, Chris Howiatow and others said a “big ape” watched them from a hillside as they checked cattle. The Bigfoot then ran into the brush as the [...]
Florida’s Ivory-Bills Photographed
Geoffrey Hill, Scharnagel Professor of Biology at Auburn University and author of Ivorybill Hunters: The Search for Proof in the Florida Panhandle told reporter Donathan Prater of the Opelika Auburn News that he has obtained three types of evidence of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers (Campephilus principalis): audio, video, and photographic. After getting a small grant, Hill and several of his colleagues traveled to the Florida Panhandle in January 2007. There, they set up listening stations and remote cameras, and indeed, did record the distinctive double-knocking sound and Kent calls the Ivory-billed Woodpecker makes. While in Florida, Hill and his colleagues were able [...]
