Are there more “unique” photographs like this one waiting in the wings in Johor? If you thought this was the last you had heard from the Malaysian investigators about a book and Johor Hominid photographs, you were badly mistaken. Sean Ang has emailed on Tuesday, August 8, 2006, at 6:19 am my time, to write to me and the Russian hominologist Dmitri Bayanov with this short and sharp message: As of 18:00 today, just to inform you a book in chinese version will still be published, told by Wee. Of course, a hint of this was already leaked two days [...]

Update: Pine Ridge Shooting & Timeline
Was Chiye-tanka killed at Slim Buttes? From speaking with people in the midst of the Pine Ridge situation, it appears clear that placing a rumor out there that a Bigfoot had been killed may have been someone’s idea of a joke. People there feel it is false. I was told overnight, for example: “This is a small rez and it would be very hard to keep something like Bigfoot being killed ‘hush hush.’” Please examine the following timeline I’ve created as a key to the sightings. It develops that the events of August 6, 2006, which were reported to have [...]
Rumor: Bigfoot Shot At Pine Ridge
Did some kill a Bigfoot in the land of the Lakota? One of the reasons I don’t like forums is that their unnamed sources serve as excellent avenues for people to start rumors and not take any responsibility for them. Nevertheless, even though the early reaction to the one I am going to mention is unprintable here, I’ll pass along this breaking story coming out of the Pine Ridge Reservation just in case it might indicate something (different) has occurred there. At the uniquely-named Godlike Productions forum tonight, someone only identified as “ac10 User ID: 100409″ wrote in on August [...]

Exclusive: Pine Ridge Bigfoot Road Encounter
Recent sightings of Bigfoot have again occurred at the Oglala Sioux Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The weekend has been busy for police, due to the Oglala Nation Pow-Wow, which ends today, Sunday, August 6, 2006. Bigfoot activity has been relatively calmer than last weekend, but, nevertheless, now comes word of a report this morning. Past recent accounts – first documented at Cryptomundo – have involved police sightings, another series of a Bigfoot peering into houses, and other encounters at Pine Ridge.

Coatis Galore: 1898 to Present
Modesto Daily Evening News Modesto, California March 4, 1898 A Strange Animal. One evening this week A. J. Woodson, who lives near Hill’s Ferry, discovered a strange animal in a tree near his place and after quite a lot of trouble succeeded in capturing it. The animal is about the size of an ordinary house cat; has a head very much like a fox; feet with claws similar to a cat, and a ringed tail much longer than its body. No one has seen the animal here could name it, but a reference to the natural history shows a picture [...]
Revisionist History: “johor hominid”
The source of those sexy "Johor Hominid" eyes was actually a color photograph found in a book on a television documentary about Australopithecus. The discovery of this hoax was by Jean luc Drevillon, who lives on Lafayette in Toulon, France. He emailed his results concurrently to Vincent Chow and to me at 3:25 am, Friday, August 4th morning. Nevertheless, the revisionist history on the end of this melodrama began late on the 4th, in Malaysia. Read on…. The "Johor Hominid" website went down, and as of the morning of Saturday, August 5th, US time, it still is down. Here’s the [...]
Retiring “Johor Hominid”
Sometimes people back themselves into corners. I think this happened with Vincent Chow, who became, it seems at this stage of the game, a victim of his own desires and hopes for the reality of the Johor Hominid pictures. As I said often, if we had the photographs, this matter could be resolved, perhaps, quickly. A sliver of an image appeared, not another drawing, and poof, it was. The era of an active cyberspace cryptocommunity is upon us. There are thousands of eyes out there, thanks to the internet, various sites, and, modestly I must note, Cryptomundo, looking for the [...]
More Johor Fallout: Peter Loh Reacts
Artist Peter Loh, who was there from the first, to hear of the leaked info on the photographs, puts pen to paper to record his editorial feelings for Cryptomundo about this sad outcome. For a complete rundown on all the other August 4th breaking news on the "Johor Hominid" hoax discovery, please also see: Johor Hominid Photos: Hoax! Johor Pix Hoax: More.
Johor Pix Hoax: More
The book above is the source of the recreations that were photographed, and then scanned, taken out of context, or otherwise shown to Vincent Chow as evidence of the “Johor Hominid.” We all know now it was an elaborate hoax, with a society created, some guardians, and eventually a website supporting this misinformation. This discovery is to be fully credited to Jean luc Drevillon, who cc’ed the following email to me early this Friday, August 4th morning (at 3:25 AM) but unfortunately via the Editor email address at Cryptomundo. I did not see this until mid-day when it was recently [...]
