The Richmond & Twickenham Times of Surrey, England is reporting there has been a new sighting of the big black panther of the area. Called the “Beast of Bexley,” the accounts of this panther have now spanned almost 20 years. Here’s an extract about the latest encounter: Beast of Bexley may have been spotted again reportedly scaring a paddock full of horses. 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 The earliest historical reference to a mystery primate dates to 1784.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 [...]
Ask EB Some Hard Questions
Remember the rumors about Erik Beckjord having cancer, and then some strange messages that he’s recovered? Was it all a plot to see how his critics would react? Surprise. None of us acted like he has regarding the misfortunes of others. So, still alive, on March 19, 2007, tonight, Erik Beckjord is appearing on Steve Kulls’ Squatchdetective Radio. The show’s guest is self-proclaimed genuis Erik Beckjord. Calling this show, “Take a Walk on the Wild Side Part II,” they are promoting the program by saying: It should come to [sic] no surprise, that some pretty amazing things he says are [...]
How Wallace Was Blamed For the Patterson Bigfoot Film
In 2002, this was labeled as a frame of film showing Elna Wallace reportedly inside this Bigfoot suit, or did a photo editor mixed up the old Ray Wallace footage with the old Ivan Marx fake Bigfoot footage to talk about the Patterson-Gimlin film? Of course, this was not the first time that newspapers confused their Bigfoot films, now was it? Mark Hall notes in his overview published here today, that in 2002, I brought to the attention of the Bigfoot community the media’s poor unfolding of Ray Wallace’s history. I stated especially newspapers were totally confusing the Wallace family’s [...]
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks
During the next ten days, I will be sharing Mark A. Hall comprehensive contribution, “The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks,” which completes the triad of his treatments detailing his examination of North American unknown hairy hominoid footprints in the context of the Ray Wallace hoaxes. The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 1: Introduction by Mark A. Hall As the new year of 2003 began, there was a welcome shift away from the excesses in newspaper reporting on Bigfoot that the USA experienced in December of 2002. The Denver (Colorado) Post in its issue for 5 January 2003 [...]
Update: New Clouded Leopard
Of course, the media has gone wild and over-reached a bit in highlighting the “new species” discovery of the Borneo/Sumatra clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) as such a remarkable find in many news articles. Indeed, the cat was there all the time, and has been “in the books” for 184 years. Of course, as has been mentioned within previous comments, I first talked about the reclassification of the two clouded leopards via this blog, on December 15, 2006, here: “Clouded Leopards: Two Species.” It is exciting to find something that’s been under our noses all the time, but let’s be realistic [...]
