The drawings by Vincent Chow and Sean Ang, at one level, are to be appreciated. At another level, they have caused further frustration and a growing level of impatience within the general cryptozoological community. Here is Cryptomundo’s Peter Loh drawing of the head of a Johor Hominid (then called Mawas) – the first drawing allegedly based on Chow’s photos – compared to a photograph of the head of an orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), also called in Indonesia, mawas. As far as can be understood from the new stories being told, we now don’t know where these alleged Johor Hominid photographs were [...]
Johor Hominid Face?
Here’s the face drawn by Vincent Chow that everyone is talking about, allegedly drawn from the photographs that Vincent Chow has in his possession. This new one can now be compared to the two following drawings earlier sketched by Peter Loh. What is graphically shown is the great differences between the earliest head interpretation of what Vincent Chow says he saw in the photographs, and how it was suggested it be redrawn by Peter Loh, through Chow’s corrective feedback, plus now with those of Sean Ang’s. Obviously, the time is upon us to reveal and publish the photographs, instead of [...]
Beast of Bray Road Movie Not a Crypto-Study
Beast of Bray Road Movie Not a Crypto-Study No Crypto-angle in Beast of Bray Road Movie on Sci Fi Channel on Saturday, July 15, 2006, at 9 PM EDT A Guest Blog by Linda Godfrey Well, it isn’t the worst slasher/monster movie ever made, but that is about all I think this movie boasting it is "based on a true story" could claim for itself. A cryptozoological study, it is not. And please let me make it clear again, I had absolutely nothing to do with it, other than inadvertently providing them an already publicized title to use without permission [...]
Johor Hominid Hand?
Sean Ang has published his “hand-traced” sketch of the Johor Hominid (see below): Click on image for full-size version James Pritchett, a critic of the ongoing situation with the Chow-noted photographs, comments: ….Sean Ang has now provided us with his long promised sketch of one of the photos. Actually, I should amend that: he’s given us a sketch of one small portion of one of the alleged photos….but prepare to be disappointed–unless you consider a sketch of a hand to be significant… What have we learned from this image? Are we merely left to ponder more questions? Does Peter Loh’s [...]
Happy 12th
The Crookston Bigfoot with some guy in front of him, 2005, photographed by friend and author Joe Citro. This Wednesday, July 12th, is my birthday. I’m planning now for a big cryptozoology party in 2007, for my 60th (which feels really young to me, of course). Therefore, today, I am going to get personal, and publish my wish list a year ahead of time (you know, beyond good health and wellness wishes for my sons, friends, former lovers, family, and all Cryptomundo readers). Click the above photo for a full-size version of Jeffrey Vallance presenting his Bigfoot Diagram to me [...]
Jersey Devil + 40
Over at TV Squad on July 9th, Anna Johns writes of her interest in The X-Files season one’s episode "The Jersey Devil." She reminded me that an incident that happened 40 years ago, a significant close encounter of the Jersey Devil-Bigfoot kind, is still remembered, in a roundabout way, via the popular television series and its fans. Johns notes: …that season one of The X-Files is phenomenal. I had forgotten how many terrific episodes were packed into the first season. Chris Carter really seemed to have this show down solid right out of the gate. He set up the series [...]
Mothman + 40

The success and magnitude of the MOTHMAN FESTIVAL [...]
Bigfoot Captured in Cambodia in 2003? Exhibited Soon?
Safuan Abu Bakar says we all will be seeing a captured Johor-like Hominid soon. What is this all about? Have we vanished down the rabbit’s hole finally and found ourselves in a twilight zone we did not know about existed in Malaysia? New Straits Times Spot Light: Supernatural sightings? 09 Jul 2006 ———————————————————————— If a toyol is bothering you, or your neighbourhood is being terrorised by a jin, who do you call? No, not the ghostbusters but the P-Team. THEY are a team like no other and their members are made up of religious teachers and healers from Malaysia and [...]
The Ultimate Bigfoot DVD Couch Potato List
I was asked earlier this week, what Bigfoot non-fiction films would I recommend? As the extremely well-educated adult who understood his own learning style honestly noted: “I am not a very fast reader. Please direct me to anything I can purchase and view on DVD.” Okay, basically, that’s a fair request, as some people are visual learners and much can be said for good documentaries as teaching tools. I taught a documentary course for almost 15 years. What I discovered was that it was worthwhile for some students to learn about topics through the study of moving images beyond what [...]
Johor Hominid: What Do You Look Like?
Vincent Chow’s associate, Sean Ang, wrote the following on Friday, July 7, 2006: …we will publish a sketch based on the original photos, say by end of this week, latest next week. Vincent is working on one of the sketch now. I also intend to publish the close-up photo of the hair samples we have. Ang also said that photographs are “potential Pulitzer prize” caliber. Why, at this stage, the continued hyperbole? In transcripts of conversations on July 6th, with and shared by Jason Pritchett, Sean Ang noted that of the 14 reported photos, Sean has seen two individuals, both [...]
