The Times of London’s Science Editor Mark Henderson documents the following startling news, here from the article, in part: A new mammal species — thought to be the first discovered in Europe for more than a century — has been identified by a scientist based at the University of Durham. The grey mouse, found in Cyprus by Thomas Cucchi, has been confirmed as an entirely new species by genetic tests, overturning the widespread assumption that Europe had no mammals left to be discovered. Dr Cucchi, who is French, was working on the Mediterranean island studying mouse teeth from the Stone [...]

Sci Fi Investigates Begins
“Sci Fi Investigates” goes on the air for the first time on October 11, 2006. Boston Rob “plays the skeptic.” Rob Mariano told Boston Herald reporter Amy Amatangelo, during an interview, the following: To tell you the truth, at first I wasn’t sure that I wanted to be involved because it’s not something I was really interested in. But after I talked to [the producers], they told me I could be myself and play the skeptic and basically give my point of view as I saw it. Then it became a lot more appealing to me. And I have to [...]
Mary Green Goes Ballistic
On Tuesday, October 10, 2006, Cryptomundo began to receive emails from Mary Green demanding that a photograph that was reprinted here from a Will Duncan posting – which supported Duncan’s pro-Carter farm position – be removed from our site. It has now been removed. Allow me to share the background and emails regarding this exchange. As can be seen in these emails, Mary Green has given her permission for these emails to be posted fully so you all can see what an evil person I am. Intriguingly, her call for the photograph to be taken down has ended up censoring [...]
Cast Sale: Seekers Change Tune
The UK’s Telegraph is putting a new spin on the reason behind the selling of the Johor Bigfoot cast. Reporter Sebastien Berger in Lukut writes in an article entitled “Explorer hopes plaster cast will raise funds to search for Bigfoot,” in part: In the jungle of southern Malaysia, where legends of a giant man-ape echo along with the calls of forest wildlife, a plaster cast of a huge footprint is precious evidence. Syed Abdullah Alattas, the founder of Paranormal Seekers Malaysia, found the footprint outside Lukut, in Johor. But it is difficult to raise enough cash to help prove the [...]
Maine Mutant Reporter Honored
The “Maine Mutant” by Mike Lemos. Remember the origins of the Maine Mutant, from the words of a beat journalist? Recall all the buzz from the initial stories written by reporter Mark LaFlamme, who brought the beast to everyone’s attention? Guess what? Mark was just named the “Journalist of the Year” for the State of Maine! Here’s part of what the Lewiston Sun Journal had to say about this shocking news in their Sunday, October 8, 2006, issue: The Maine Press Association has chosen Sun Journal crime reporter Mark LaFlamme as Journalist of the Year….[and] announced [the award] at the [...]
Red Lake and Bigfoot
I’m going to be on the road for a few days, mostly working with First Nations people in northern Maine about suicide prevention and school shootings, so I wanted to post a timely entry here that looks at the overlap between Bigfoot and a school shooter, the Red Lake, Minnesota killer who caused the second most deadly modern school outrage on our children. On March 21, 2005, Red Lake, Minnesota high school student Jeffrey James Weise (August 8, 1988 – March 21, 2005) killed a total of ten people. First he killed his grandfather and grandfather’s wife, 32-year old Michelle [...]
Exclusive: Johor Bigfoot Cast Copy
Joshua Gates – shown above on his investigative trek in Malaysia with Seekers Sis and Illa – reveals to Cryptomundo the startling news that an excellent first generation copy of the Johor Bigfoot cast sits safely in California. Illa shows off the cast last February, as photographed from a different angle, above, as opposed to the often seen image, below. Joshua Gates, above, was involved with obtaining the original Johor cast, in the jungle. But, as it turns out, a copy was made; see the photo directly above, which was previsiously published as showing the original. Gates is shown below [...]
Giant Camel Discovered
On Monday, October 9, 2006, the Associated Press was widely disseminating the news that a 13 feet tall camel — double the size of the modern-day camel — has been discovered in Syria. The bones, above, clearly show, compared to the modern camel, this animal was a big one. The giant camel apparently “poses a revolution in the world of archaeological discoveries,” according to Bassam Jammous, director general of the Antiquities and Museum Department in Syria. He also said the Syrian desert “is the first origin of the camel.” Dating back 100,000 years, the fossil bones were discovered by a [...]
Knollenbergs’ Flap: It Was A Peahen
A peahen, shown here, is the female of the peafowl, which can refer to any of three species of bird in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the pheasant family. Scott Maruna, the new energetic editor of The Anomalist (www.anomalist.com), treks into uncomfortable country on October 8, 2006. With an unfortunate blog on the Lawndale Thunderbird, here, Maruna introduces some details of the July 25, 1977 event where a large bird reportedly lifted Marlon Lowe into the air, then writes: One particular contemporary event that has been complete [sic - LC] ignored might just hold the clue that could explain [...]
American Offers $50,000 For Johor Cast
Cryptomundo correspondent and Malaysia Star reporter Marsha Tan has been kind enough to send along her latest Johor Bigfoot article to be shared here. If anyone knows the identities of the (1) American “Bigfoot researcher” or (2) the “museum owner” who are behind the offers to either trade casts (yeah, right the Seekers are going to take up that one) or the $50,000 payment for the cast, we’d like to hear from you. My previous blog entry on this subject is here, and the eBay Malaysia description is here. Illa shows off the cast last February. Sunday October 8, 2006 [...]
