A Montana Monster It Looks Like a Man and Eats Bears and Sheep. Some of the old time hunters and Indian fighters who are still holding out in the city should endeavor to find a wild eyed individual who came in from the mountains this morning. Whether he discovered a new brand of whisky or whether it was the lonliness [sic] of his life in the mountains that caused him to see visions and hear sounds is not known, but, whatever the cause, he had told a story that knocks Joe Klaffki’s ghost story, attested to by Jack Brennan, completely [...]

August 10th: Lake Champlain Sea Serpent Seen
This is the Champ painting that began showing up on the sides of U-Haul vans in 1999. August 10th… Vermont Get Into Line Its Sea Serpent Story, Though a Little Late, Is All Right. The Lake Champlain sea serpent has been seen. And by an entirely credible and trustworthy witness, whose name, were we permitted to give it, would carry conviction to the most incredulous of doubting Thomases. The monster was seen, slowly swimming southward, about midway of the channel between the Vermont shore and Split Rock. The lake at this place is only about a mile wide. Here, too, [...]
Latest From Pine Ridge
On Tuesday, August 8, 2006, at 10:55 p.m., a local law enforcement evidence technician reports to dispatch that something is hitting the walls of his trailer. He wants an officer to investigate. He is not able to do it himself as he has his family in the trailer with him. The officer arrives at the trailer and finds nothing unusual. This incident happens about a fourth of a mile east of Sharps Corner, which is about 30 to 40 miles northeast of Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
Indiana’s August 1948 Varmints
All this month, the newspaper of Richmond, Indiana, the Palladium-Item has been re-posting archival articles from 60 years ago about the sightings of “Varmints” there. Contemporary readers seem to have at first thought the reporters back then were talking about Bigfoot, but, of course, it was mystery cats that were being remembered. It is these same Varmints that cryptozoologists such as myself and Minnesota researcher Mark A. Hall had written about thirty years ago. In fact, I first detailed the Varmints in the pages of Creatures of the Outer Edge in 1978. These accounts capture the essence of the [...]
Calm Down
Calm down, everyone. Now, while I may be poking fun at the dynamic duo in their present situation and this smells of “a paltry subterfuge of an anonymous signature” (Robert Smith Surtees), let us be levelheaded and try to be fair to them. Let’s assume for a moment that they are totally innocent of any con job and did what they had to do because they had limited options. From this perspective and within this premise, this could be what happened. (I’ve included some comments -directly following each point; remember, this is not what actually happened but merely postulation on [...]
Any New Tappie Sightings?
Has the manatee reached Poughkeepsie yet? The Amherst Times reported on August 8: Eleven years ago today, The Times ran a little piece about a male manatee who decided, for reasons unknown, to swim up the East River. Now, the manatee nation appears to have sent another emissary northward, though the sex of this one is unspecified so far. It was sighted several times in the Hudson River last weekend, along the piers in Manhattan and as far north as Sleepy Hollow. The northernmost location in New York, thusfar, for any sightings is 100 miles upstate from the Manhattan views. [...]
“A Species Odyssey”
Click image for full-size version. The Johor Hominid photos are the plates from the volume L’Odyssee de l’espece, which is the companion book that accompanies the TV documentary “L’Odyssee de l’espece,” first released in French in 2001. Quite amazingly, by coincidence, the English-language version of this series – “A Species Odyssey” – is being broadcast all week on cable, via the Discovery Science cable network. For broadcast times in North America, click here.
New Claim: More Johor Photographs
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 [...]
