Steller’s Sea Ape
Steller’s Sea Ape, as drawn by Harry Trumbore, from The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates (2006: 64-65). A good overview of the expedition leading to the remarkable sighting of what has become known as Steller’s Sea Ape can be found in the November 17, 2005, article in the California Literary Review. The essay is by Peter Bridges, former U.S. ambassador to Somalia, and is about the animal discoveries made by naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller. Bridges writes that: In January 1738, Steller set out from St. Petersburg on a five-thousand mile journey across European Russia and Siberia to [...]
New Ontario Sasquatch Track Find
In recent years, over 20 alleged encounters with Sasquatch have been recorded within the Northwestern Ontario region, including some accounts near Kenora at Coney Island. Cobalt, Ontario, it will be recalled, is the site of the reports of the old Sasquatch with blond hair on its head called “Old Yellow Top” in 1906, 1923, 1946, and 1970. “Old Yellow Top” drawn by Harry Trumbore in The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates. Mecheny, a Marked Hominid, as drawn by artist Harry Trumbore in The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates. The line between the Mecheny (the [...]

The Bad Boy of Bigfootry has lost his fight with cancer, and now the email and internet will be a bit quieter without his presence.
Loved To Tell Bigfoot Stories
Charles Perkins has passed away. He loved to tell Bigfoot stories, his official obituary says. He was a logger for many years, it mentions as well. Did Charles Perkins have stories anyone has recorded? Was he involved with Wallace Construction? Sometimes obits like this one make me wonder what deeper tales are to be learned. According to his local media, here’s what is recalled about Charles Perkins: A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 26 at the Creswell Presbyterian Church for Charles Sidney Perkins of Creswell, Oregon, who died July 19, 2008 of Alzheimer’s disease.

35 Years Ago: Maine’s “Gorilla”
The Maine news media are warming up their stories on the Durham “gorilla.” I’ve been contacted, asking me if I heard the rumor that a zoo released an ape in 1973, in Maine. Of course, I have not and have not been able to track down any factual basis to such a rumor. Besides, Maine doesn’t have any zoos, in general, other than seasonal ones at York and on Mt. Desert Island, and certainly none that lost or released an ape in 1973. Also, one sheriff’s deputy was tracked down by another reporter, but refused to talk to the media. [...]

Love Letter to Cryptomundo
You know, without Cryptomundo, these guys’ “Bigfoot body” story would be basically unknown and they won’t be getting their 20,000 hits. But, what the heck, you Cryptomundians are always under-appreciated. I do wish to thank the Georgia Bigfoot guys for their continued criticisms and product placements of Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America (NY: Simon and Schuster, 2003), on their YouTube videos. My only hope is that the computer Officer Whitton uses to write his police reports or his forthcoming groundbreaking new book has a spellchecker.
