Considering the recent Johor Bigfoot news was about the destruction of footprints, things have taken a positive turn, by week’s end. Reports of new encounters, a commitment to evidence preservation, and a May 2006 expedition make for an exciting roundup of Malaysian Bigfoot happenings. Be forewarned, however, this is not your grandparents’ “Bigfoot”. As noted in The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates, we are dealing with something that is very different than your run-of-the-mill Sasquatch, of course. Old snaggle-tooth is back, in a close encounter of the hairy kind. Also, please turn off your cellphone while reading [...]
Cryptozoo Museums Worldwide
What and where are your favorite cryptozoology and Bigfoot museums throughout the world? Scotland’s cryptozoology collection at the National Museums of Scotland was recently highlighted in the Scotsman. The easiest exhibits to record, unfortunately, are often the hoaxes. Shown here are a Japanese-made mermaid and a Canadian-created furred trout, both taxidermy fakes. Dr. Geoff Swinney (below), Curator of Lower Vertebrates, Fish, Amphibians and Reptiles, National Museums of Scotland, examines the vertebrae of the Beast of Stronsay, from the carcass of the beast found on an Orkney island beach in 1808. Swinney, who is the resident cryptozoologist, in 1987, confirmed the [...]
Claws in Tracks
Could this drawing, done from life, demonstrate why there are seemingly “claw” marks in some Bigfoot prints?
Almas 2006 Expedition
Here’s an update to John Kirk’s posting. In an exclusive communiqué sent to me this month, Adam Davies and Andrew Sanderson tell of finalizing their next new search. The two UK cryptozoologists, who appeared in the successful new National Geographic documentary about their search for the Orang Pendek, are back, hot on the trail of other hairy hominoids in 2006.

Preparations are being [...]

More New Tracks
More photos of Malaysian tracks make for new analyses and more conjecture on what the prints might be. What individually has been more mystifying in the recent publication of merely one track’s image seems clearer in this asphalt trackway. The Sumatran rhinoceros is rare in Malaysia, but this muddy series of prints appears to show, for the first time, that these are from a rhino double-stepping into its own tracks on this road. This is the newest track from Malaysia, just published on February 28. It is one of three footprints found that were perhaps 20 cm across and 40, [...]
A Track Is Not A Foot
Today, guest contributor Mark A. Hall, author of books on cryptozoology, the inventor of the concept of True Giants, and the editor of Wonders, shares his thoughts on the Malaysian evidence of four-toed tracks. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have looked over the record of tracks for True Giants after all these impressions from Malaysia have been published. One of the first four-toed track photographs from Malaysia, December 2005. We are always learning more about these creatures. We know they have a mammalian limb so a fifth toe was once a part of their limbs, and it still might show up as it [...]
