Could the “North American Apes” (Napes) have come over from Africa via slave ships? Napes is the term I coined to gather the names of Skunk Apes, Boogers, Swamp Apes, and other cryptid anthropoids from the SE USA under one umbrella moniker. I see Napes as a form of unknown ape, and not the Neo-Giant, not the classic Bigfoot. I began talking about these ideas some four decades ago, and presented formally in various public talks even before writing about them in later books and contributed chapters. For example, I gave “The Occurrence of Wild Apes in North America,” as [...]

More On Deer-Grabbing Bigfoot
What did the deer-grabbing Bigfoot look like? We still don’t know, and the above drawing by Richard Klyver has nothing to do with this Wisconsin report. Please, someone, ask Steven Krueger to describe what he saw, how it moved, how it jumped, and how it carried the deer, for starters! Please. In the wake of the first reports of the Bigfoot that grabbed a deer, the story is getting spun in various Wisconsin media. The following news item, although it does not mention the eyewitness by name, is about this week’s Wisconsin sighting by Steven Krueger, identified below as a [...]
KC’s Kids CZ Book List
Looking for some suggestions for your holiday gift-giving to add to the book shelves of cryptozoologists-in-training? Trying to come up with colorful presents for those stockings? Here’s some book ideas that are being put out there for kids who are visiting the activities and the current Missouri home of the traveling exhibition that left Bates College only a few weeks ago. The Kansas City Library’s children’s services are recommending various kid-friendly books to go with the new exhibition at the H & R Artspace, the show that is entitled “Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale.” One section of the traveling [...]
Paranthropus News
The following news release is shared here, as I consider the fossil candidate Paranthropus more compelling than Giganthropithecus for what is reported in several locations as "Bigfoot". I discussed this debate about these two fossil species here on Christmas Day 2005, please see “Bigfoot: Gigantopithecus or Paranthropus?” Not too many people read that blog, probably, as there were a lot of other things happening on that day, but the 22 comments there are some of the longest and most thoughtful I’ve read. The following University of Colorado study give more food for thought, every pun intended, for considering the significance [...]
Bigfoot Grabs Deer
A breaking news item out of Wisconsin says a Bigfoot was seen grabbing a road-kill deer and hightailing into the woods with it. Details on that in a minute. One of the first eyewitness drawings of Momo. Wisconsin seems to have had some interesting Bigfoot reports in recent years. The one that happened yesterday, November 9th, 2006, may be extremely unique, but then the state has given us some of the most interesting eastern cases of the 21st century. Take, for instance, there’s the case of Mr. Hughes. Around 5:15 a.m on March 28, 2000, James Hughes was delivering the [...]
New Johor Bigfoot Track
For months, since November 2005, reports of the Johor Bigfoot issued from the rainforests of Malaysia. Cryptomundo even created a sorting category for them (see to the right of this column). Weekly updates and discussions ensued. Debates about the evidence raged. And then the horrible discovery was made that the “photographs” that supposedly existed were nothing more than extractions from a book about a television documentary on prehumans. But here we are, back in another November, and there’s news from Johor and new findings of footprints. The shape of the footprint, it must be admitted does look interesting, but as [...]
Shocking New Book: The Yowie
Click on the cover above to make the Yowie larger. The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot Wow! What a beautiful cover. If a book’s cover is a window to the content, you will not be disappointed. This is an earthshaking book. It’s big, it’s monumental, and it will surprise many people. I am an American, and as such, I have to admit that North Americans, specifically the general population and the media more than the readers here, tend to think egoistically that our Sasquatch was here first. The sense is that the files and legends of the rest of [...]
Dryopithecus, Skunk Apes, and Yeti
How long have people been talking about Dryopithecus as having some bearing on reports of unknown hominoids, those that appear to be more anthropoid than hominid? For over fifty years, it turns out. Personally, I’ve promoted them since the 1960s (see most recently Bigfoot!, pages 165-166) and I have talked of dryopithecines and their possible dissemination by slave ships for decades. My friends and associates have commented on my and others’ thoughts about this fossil candidate. In the wake of a photograph of what appears to be an ape, perhaps even a cryptid one, in Florida, discussion has occurred here [...]

Wanted: Your Bigfoot Documentary
It is time for you to dust off that independent documentary film that you made as a college project, or taped during your most recent weekend excursion. The makers of Sasquatch Mountain want to hear from you! Their DVD is due on January 23, 2007, and it is going to have a special section set aside for someone’s homegrown Bigfoot documentary project. In the meantime, I thought you all might wish to take a first look at the DVD cover (above) of Sasquatch Mountain. But back to this unique opportunity. Do you have a nonfiction short Bigfoot documentary film that [...]
