Remember what people said when little cameras showed up on mobile telephones? The notion was that with so many digital cameras out there on cellphones, there would be more chances to capture cryptids photograhically and visually, thus adding a new level of technology to the quest. Okay, for all those folks that wanted to have more cryptid photo images taken by cellphones, here, above, is what you get! As I walked out the door I thought “hang on a minute”. It looked like a cat but it was a lot bigger. It was definitely a cat. It walked like one [...]

Stories of Pranks
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 4: Stories of Pranks by Mark A. Hall Stories of Pranks Northern California is a setting akin to British Columbia. It is a land of forested mountains where something the size of Bigfoot could be living. The American Indians had stories of the Oh-Mah and the Tok-Mussis which they largely kept to themselves until a news sensation in 1958 brought to public awareness the topics of immense footprints and hairy giants. Against this background, the prank of leaving false footprints for others to find has been rumored going back nearly to 1924. [...]
New Bamboo Found in Appalachia
Hill Cane, Iowa State University photo We tend to think that we … know our own biodiversity, and that there isn’t much left to discover in a place like the United States. I think this demonstrates that that’s not true.Lynn Clark, professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology, Iowa State University Surprise, surprise! Two known species of North American bamboo discovered 200 years ago have been joined by a brand new one just found in the last year. The “hill cane” was discovered in the Appalachian Mountains. This new species of bamboo (Arundinaria appalachiana) grows only to about 6 feet, [...]

Neil Arnold, founder of the Kent Big Cat Research Group, said a black creature was seen around two weeks ago in Cold Blow Crescent. He thinks the animal could have been a black leopard. An eyewitness saw all [...]
Hoaxing
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 3: Hoaxing by Mark A. Hall Hoaxing Serious writers on the subject of Bigfoot have included the topic of hoaxing in their works. They have acknowledged the existence of bad information that must be sorted from the good to find the valid traces of Bigfoot. My first treatment of hoaxes appeared back in 1979 when I discussed what were popularly labeled “Bigfoot reports” made in Iowa from 1975 to 1978. [14] The finding that some hoaxing of tracks was occurring along with genuine tracks has since been supported by the recollections of [...]
Badboy Beckjord Hangs Up
Well, early reports are that last night’s Squatchdetective Radio show was apparently a classic, alright. An absolute classic mess. Here’s a couple quick reactions posted today, followed up with emails, and reproduced here with the permission of the comment makers. It started an hour late. All I can say is, what a shame. Keep an eye on the Cryptomundo web site. I’m sure the results of the ten rounder will be posted there. There were no winners in this one. William Dranginis, Viriginia Bigfoot researcher I know all the gentlemen involved including Erik Beckjord. Steve Kulls was the host, Sean [...]
Wildmen in North America & Bigfoot Emerges
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 2: Wildmen in North America and Bigfoot Emerges by Mark A. Hall Wildmen in North America The subject of Bigfoot is but one of several mystery primates for whom a long and involved record has been found to exist in North America. The earliest historical reference to a mystery primate dates to 1784. [4] We know of the details of an 1829 report from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. [5] In recent decades accounts of sightings and hunts for hairy “wildmen” around North America in the 1800s have been turning up all [...]
Unknown Chilean Primate?
Source: zoopedia.blogspot.com and iiee.com Date: 03.17.07 Apelike Creature Reported in Angol (9th Region, Chile) by Raul Gajardo Lepold and Sigrid Grothe According to information in our files, we can say that Mr. Luis B.T., a well-known jeweler and native artisan of the 9th Region, retold a strange experience that befell his son-in-law in the winter of 2006. Luis’s son-in-law, a truck driver with an erratic schedule, could not believe what he was seeing on the road in June 2006 near midnight between a stretch of road from Los Angeles to Muchén. On that day he wasn’t carrying an assistant, so [...]
Idaho: New Bird Species Discovered
A male South Hills crossbill using its crossed mandibles to bite between lodgepole pine cone scales to access seeds. The decurved mandibles enable crossbills to exert strong biting forces at the tip of their bill. Credit: (photograph by Craig Benkman) One does not expect to discover a bird species new to science while wandering around the continental United States. Nor does one expect that such a species would provide much insight into how coevolutionary arms races promote speciation. On both fronts a paper to appear in The American Naturalist proves otherwise. Julie Smith, now at Pacific Lutheran University, and her [...]
