Bigfoot in TV Guide
Scores of people in the media find their way to me, oftentimes to ask where they can obtain this or that image. In the case of the recent series of Bigfoot movies on the Sci-Fi Channel, TV Guide approached me asking if I could help them with the rights to a frame from the Patterson-Gimlin film. Needless to say, I sent them to Mrs. Patterson and René Dahinden’s heirs to purchase and obtain permission. For people that missed it, here’s what TV Guide produced: Please click on the image for a full size version. Interestingly, the editorial board room discussions [...]

These will be online for later downloads, as well as on the radio. On the Media (from [...]

New Discovery: Yariguíes Brush-Finch
There’s great news from a remote mountain range in northern Colombia. A bird species new to science has been discovered! The Yariguíes Brush-Finch (Atlapetes latinuchus yariguierum), a large and colorful finch with black, yellow and red plumage, first described in the June 2006 issue of the scientific journal Bulletin of the British Ornithologists Club, is gaining new and acknowledged notice throughout the zoological world this week.

More Sea Serpents
The other day I mentioned the modern void of Cassie reports here. I also recommended people revisit “All Things Maine” blogger Christopher Dunham good overview of “The Sea Serpents of Mount Desert Island.” Today, Chris posted this: More Sea Serpents of Maine Loren Coleman was kind enough to mention again my post from a year ago on the Sea Serpents of Mount Desert Island. This inspired me to dig up some serpent testimonials of later date, from locations ranging from Biddeford to Vinalhaven and Rockland. Chris then shares the text of Sea Serpent articles from: Daily Kennebec Journal, May 26, [...]

Illustrating an alleged encounter: Janice meeting Fox in house’s basement, April 2002. Click to make Bigfoot even bigger. My brother Jerry D. Coleman’s "A Carter Farm Investigation – Part Four" has now been posted. The observations are good, and some of the photographs (see below) stimulated, shared, and debated in this melodrama clearly show a difference of opinion on even the landscape of the [...]

Where is Cassie?
I look forward to seeing folks at the closing reception at Bates’s exhibition “Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale,” on October 7th. In the meantime, I will be pondering why it has been so many years since anyone has seen Cassie, the Casco Bay Sea Serpent. Cassie, the local name I coined long ago in a magazine to characterize these cryptids seen near Portland, Maine, was bestowed in the same tradition that many freshwater and marine creature monikers are given – with passion, humor, and a nod to Nessie. As it turns out, of course, Portland is not alone in [...]
