City and General. [excerpt] A Pine River correspondent of the Dauphin Press writes: For the second time within a month a sea serpent has been seen by fishermen on Lake Winnipegosis.

It skims along with its head about two feet above water and frequently disappears under the surface for several seconds at a time. The strange creature has been observed with 300 yards of the shore, and the [Natives] are terror-stricken as a marine monster of similar appearance was seen on the lake [...]

Mystery Beast Photos Withdrawn
Update: Ms. O’Donnell changed her mind about the following, and the photographs are to be found on Cryptomundo. August 21, 2006. All of the photographs taken by Michelle O’Donnell of the "Mystery Beast" or "Maine Mutant" have been removed from Cryptomundo. This has been done at her request because she wants Cryptomundo to block anyone from pirating them.

Biscardi Funds Crowe
Ray Crowe has written to inform me that the Bigfoot-oriented The Track Record will be publishing again. Crowe got a surprise phone call from South Dakota from Tom Biscardi.

Ray Crowe’s The Track Record was formerly financially backed by Peter Byrne. Crowe published material in his publication that was often approved by or written by Byrne, as well as specifically excluded material vetoed by Byrne as being unfavorable to Byrne’s public image.
