Well, optimism springs eternal. As those who have read about the drawings, the photographs, and more, you have realized my early efforts to learn more were frustrated, but we all pushed on. From wishing Vincent Chow well, going to write the foreword to his projected book, to growing skepticism, it has been quite a journey. Hoping against hope, members of the hominology community wanted the purported but unseen photographs of the Johor Hominid to be a valid form of evidence. There appears now to have been an obvious reason for why those promoting the hidden pictures did not wish to [...]

Johor Photo Release
Sean Ang, apparently on behalf of Vincent Chow, has decided to release a small portion of the eyes of an alleged Johor Hominid from one of the alleged photographs (see below). It’s not much. But it’s something. Of course, it only raises more questions. If they can show us this much, why not a total and complete release of this evidence? What is this really a photograph of? Where was it taken? When? What does it show? From this tidbit, is it a photograph of any great ape in a zoo, a movie costume, or an unknown hominoid? What’s with [...]
Creature Feature Genius Dies
The above creature was last seen on drive-in screens in the film Zontar, the Thing From Venus. Movie producer Edwin Tobolowsky, 86, died on July 29, 2006. He was well-known for his involvement in motion pictures dealing with creatures based very loosely, in some cases, on cryptozoological themes or "cryptozoocinema." Above is the ancient thing from Creature of Destruction. The sci-fi movie concerns a mad stage hypnotist Dr. John Basso who “reverts” his beautiful assistant Doreena into the physical form of a prehistoric sea monster “she was in a past life.” The plot for Curse of the Swamp Creature takes [...]
Orang Dalam
Harold Stephens has just returned from the rainforests of Malaysia where he tells me he was filmed for an upcoming documentary on the Johor Bigfoot situation. Writing in transit from Johor to Bangkok on August 3, Stephens sends along, among other things, this: Spent three days in Malaysia with Rick Noll and his team. He interviewed me on camera. Met Vincent Chow, and he had met me before. Hardly much of a trek anyone can do in three days. And Vincent, I don’t think he ever got his shoes muddy. The others remain in Malaysia longer. I stayed only three [...]
Johor Eyes: “Sex Appeal” or “Garfield’s”?
The matter of Sean Ang’s recent drawing discussed here on Monday is the subject of an article in the New Straits Times for Thursday, August 3, 2006, entitled “Sexual Gaze of Johor’s Bigfoot.” The paper is reporting on a new twist and extension of visual interpretations of the new drawing of the “eyes.” The New Straits Times is noting that Sean Ang says there is a sexual meaning to the eyes he has drawn alleged based on a photo of an alleged photograph of these alleged Malaysian unknown hominoids. In specific segments of the article, it is mentioned that Sean [...]
Siren Sighted In Hudson
Our friends over at The Anomalist have pointed out a cool out-of-place animal story, about a member of the Sirenia, that you will want to read. On a day like this, I feel good just looking at this photograph. TA points out that the Poughkeepsie Journal of August 2, 2006, is reporting a ten-foot long, 1000-pound manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) has been sighted in the Hudson River near Manhattan, New York City. The Journal notes: Watchers tracked this one last month as it swam north — first near Delaware, then Maryland, then New Jersey. Saturday, it was seen at 23rd [...]
Breaking Police News: New Bigfoot Encounter & Lion Killed
There’s been a new police encounter with Bigfoot on the Lakota Sioux Pine Ridge Reservation. The activity has not slowed down there. Past recent accounts have mentioned Bigfoot peering into houses and otherwise continuing to be seen in the area. As informant Windsage noted within the Cryptomundo’s comments section: I lived on the Pine Ridge reservation last year (2005). You would be hard pressed to find a single person there who doesn’t believe in the existence of Bigfoot. I personally heard police on the scanners, talking excitedly about sightings and pursuits of Bigfoot. No one in their right mind would [...]

Eyes on Johor: New Drawing Linked to French Illusion
Interestingly, the day after Cryptomundo filed an update here on the void in the Johor Bigfoot photo situation, Sean Ang posted yet another drawing from the alleged photographs. My commentary on this new material follows an introduction of what has newly appeared. Part of what is being said follows: The above is a sketch based on Photograph labelled as JH002: Jogi. Both Photograph JH002 and JH003 belong to the same individual, probably a young adult female hominin. Whereas photograph JH001: Joman is a photograph of a full body of an adult male hominin, both JH002 and JH003 are closeup of [...]
Exclusive: Pine Ridge Bigfoot Update
At left, Bruce Schildt’s kids stand near a line of tracks their father believes might belong to Bigfoot. The tracks were discovered Jan. 1, 2006, when the elder Schildt notified Blackfeet Fish and Wildlife and had them investigate. The best track is the one above. Schildt reports the tracks are about 18 inches long and 10 inches wide, and the stride is around 39 inches. There were 30 or 40 tracks, said Schildt, including one very clear print. This all happened at Kiowa Camp, on the reservation of the Blackfeet First Nation, Montana, just east of the Glacier National Park, [...]
