You have many choices of events to attend during the last quarter of 2007. Here are some visual reminders of the upcoming end of the year Cryptozoology conferences: Saturday, December 1, 2007, “Introduction to Cryptozoology,” Mythic Creatures, American Museum of Natural History, New York City, New York. The AMNH model of Gigantopithecus is part of the “Mythic Creatures” exhibition. These conferences and other recent gatherings have produced some rather elaborate and intriguing forms of promotional art, demonstrating a new love of monsters, creatures, and cryptids on posters. Perhaps we are entering a new era of creative imagery in cryptozoological art [...]
Tom Slick, Playboy Cryptozoologist
The early Tom Slick lived a life of wealth, from touring the shores of Loch Ness to the company of Howard Hughes in Beverly Hills. The once and future supporter of cryptozoology, Tom Slick, the son of a wealthy Texas oil millionaire, as a youth, shared a life that sounds very familiar to our ears today. For those living in the beginning of the 21st century, the son of another Texas oil millionaire is as near as the White House. Slick lived the trappings of influence and heritage seen in the Bush family. Slick, the Southwestern nonconformist in the East, [...]
A Closer Look at the P-G Footage?
Finally, a possible solution to the Patterson-Gimlin footage? Let’s move in closer. At least we are trying to keep our sense of humor. Merci Jean luc Drevillon
“Sassafrass” Sasquatch Squashed
I suppose people think this is cute or funny, by now. Sorry, I don’t agree. Indeed, I am tired of all this video trash posted as nonfiction film clips. It’s one thing to have a cryptofictional movie you want to promote, and it’s another thing to keep floating parts of it out there to confuse the general public, including teenagers, who are watching YouTube. Anyway, in the latest intellectual assault like this, Bigfoot Bubba has posted a new video as real, labeling it “Bigfoot Sighting at Sassafrass Ridge Authenticated.” He writes: “Recently discovered Film Footage ditigally restored and colorized as [...]
Sasquatch’s Sagittal Crests
I know I’ve gone over some of this before, but all this talk about the Patterson-Gimlim footage for the 40th anniversary seems to be stirring up a need to revisit it. It seems rather unbelievable to me that I’m hearing again that only “male gorillas have sagittal crests” and this is being used as a reason to discount the Patterson Bigfoot footage. Paranthropus, my fossil candidate choice for Bigfoot, had sagittal crests in both genders. Paranthropus sp. image courtesy of skullsunlimited.com I take the stance that Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Oh-Mah, whatever you wish to call the classic Neo-Giants of the Pacific [...]
Who Walks The Walk?
Let’s see. Years + pounds + copycat behavior = not really close, despite the best efforts at imitation:
Bluff Creek Tracks, 1967
Roger Patterson filmed the footprints of the Bigfoot – and apparently his own, as well:
Finally, Real Proof of Sasquatch
Merci to Jean luc Drevillon for the suggestion. Placed here, for those in need of a break from the other thread.
The Best Evidence: Patterson-Gimlin Footage
In one month, it will have been 40 years since Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin had their incredible encounter with an apparently female Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California, on October 20, 1967. The resulting footage is the best piece of evidence we have for a population of unknown, bipedal primates – most often known as Sasquatch or Bigfoot – that lives, allegedly, in the wilderness areas of North America. Why do I think the encounter’s resulting footage is authentic? I feel it brings forth many forms of evidence: 1. The event occurred in an area known for Native traditions of [...]
Cryptozoology’s Subdivisions
Yep, that’s me. Getting carried away with my passion for all things cryptozoological. I noticed today on the web that one of those “ask” sites had this question: “What are the different fields in Cryptozoology?” This was their “Best Answer – Chosen By Voters” – to wit – “Cryptozoology is a branch of zoology; I have never heard of it being divided into ‘fields.’” Darn. Yikes, they picked the wrong answer by internet consensus? Okay, I couldn’t let that remain unanswered more completely, so here’s my Cryptomundo-refined answer to the question of cryptozoological subfields. +++ Cryptozoology, a sixty-year-old new subdiscipline [...]
