The Heart of Darkness: Vanishings, Pygmy Elephants, and Mokele-Mbembe
Mokele-mbembe being killed by Pygmies; drawn by Bill Rebsamen and used with permission. As I write these words, there is news that an airliner from Kenya has crashed in the jungles of Cameroon. They can’t find the plane. They can’t find any survivors because they can’t find the plane. It has disappeared, perhaps near some small village some distance from Douala, which is a coastal hopping off spot into the jungle. Mokele-mbembe courtesy of Bill Rebsamen.

Hardwood Lake Snake
The Latest Serpent Story A very pronounced fish story comes from Barry county, Michigan, where, we are “told,” a monster resembling a snake is residing in Harwood Lake. It is represented as being about twenty feet long, and from five to seven inches in diameter. It has been seen a number of times – once, last summer, by a Swede, who supposed it to be the devil. The other day his snakeship was seen again by a boy, who was fishing at the time, and had quite a string of fish lying on the bank. The boy says the snake [...]
Maine’s “Fossilized Bigfoot Tracks”
These are images of Mainer Tom Martin’s “fossilized Bigfoot tracks” as noted in the blog, “Ah, Bigfoot and ME”. See that posting for more details.
Ah, Bigfoot & ME
Photograph by Joseph Citro. The abbreviation for the State of Maine is “ME.” As fate would have it, Lewiston Sun Journal reporter Kathryn Skelton has a feature article about Maine and Bigfoot today, entitled creatively, “Bigfoot & ME.” It happens to have a large photo of me at the top of one section of the story. Here’s an excerpt of some of what Skelton writes about in this Saturday’s news article. It contains various things that have only a little to do with the critical examination of Bigfoot sightings in Maine. Some words are not even worth repeating, so here’s [...]
New Mexico’s Bighoot
Ornimegalonyx oteroi Bighoot, the Flying Head by Mike Smith In the piney mountains and desert mesas of southcentral New Mexico, citizens of the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation still tell legends of an enormous and evil bird: Big Owl. The Jicarilla Apaches, along the state’s northern edge, also talk of Big Owl-near slickrock canyons and beneath the gray bluffs of their reservation-but in their stories Big Owl will often paralyze humans just by staring at them, and after doing so swallows them whole, just as smaller owls swallow mice. Mark A. Hall, noted cryptozoologist and author of Thunderbirds: America’s Living Legends [...]
Another Update: Tennessee Bigfoot With Cane?
Bill Appleton, Chief Technology Officer at California’s DreamFactory Software, Inc., shares with me these specific video captures from the Tennessee Bigfoot helicopter footage (earlier posted on Cryptomundo by Craig Woolheater here and here). These two individual photographic captures from the video appear to show the bipedal walker carrying something in its right hand. Appleton asks if this is might merely be an elderly woman moving rapidly away from the aircraft, with the help of a cane? Others have suggested, could it be a hunter in a ghillie (camouflage netting) suit? Could it be someone with a heavy coat? Well, at [...]
Loch Ness Toad
Look what Robert Rines-linked investigations have turned up recently at the bottom of Loch Ness. A common toad. Why was it down there? What was it doing? What else is down there?
Norway’s Korel Giant
In a little lake called Korel, about five miles long, in Norway, a Great Sea Serpent has made his appearance. It has been seen by many credible persons, and is known by the name of the Korel Giant. On the 26th of November [1852], three women saw the animal lying stretched out on the surface of the lake. It lay quietly for several hours. A part of its body, which was elevated above water, seemed to be about 25 feet in length, and from 10 to 12 feet broad; and at the same distance were noticed three smaller but similar [...]
The Name Game: The Trinities
Tom Slick searched for Giant Salamanders in the Trinity Alps of California. I see that John Kirk has posted the article about the recent rumblings concerning a “giant black reptile” (gator? lizard? salamander?) being seen in British Columbia. The location of the recent sightings is familiar to Cryptomundo readers, mostly because Pitt Lake was where a huge example of Sasquatch (below) was seen years ago. But also the new “reptilian” thing from BC was spied coincidentally in a ravine at Trinity Western University in Langley, B.C., and reminds me of the stories of the Trinity Alps Giant Salamanders (amphibians, but [...]
