Wallace Fakes Revisited
Mark Hall has posted a review entitled "When Legends Meet Science" via his "Living Fossils" page at Wonders about Jeff Meldrum’s new book, Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. Dave Rubert photographs of the Ray Wallace fake Bigfoot footprint tools. One section of Mark Hall’s review discusses the Ray Wallace wooden fake track creations, and how the imprints made from them are still appearing in works by some Sasquatch researchers. Hall writes: [Jeff] Meldrum fails to recognize that the Ray Wallace fake imprints have become part of his database. For a professional claiming an expertise in the study of footprints, this lapse [...]
Cartoonist Ted Bastien Profiled
There is an excellent Bangor Daily News article, published on January 8, 2007, about Toronto-based cartoonist Ted Bastien and his comic strip, “Bugsport.” The strip is based loosely on Bucksport, Maine, and the town’s reportedly alien population. (Note to non-Mainers, when we say you are “from away” up here, we really mean it.) The article avoids mentioning Bugsport’s Bigfoot entirely, thus allowing it to remain an elusive cryptid. Indeed, the nice profile of Bastien does not mention his forays into cryptozoology at all. But we all know he draws comic cryptids in addition to his Studebaker-cloned spaceships and grays. (You [...]

M. K. Davis Apologizes and “Clouds” Bigfoot With Almasty
Melissa Hovey has given her permission to reproduce her recent blog on this matter completely. All comment are hers. – Loren +++++++++++++ Sunday, December 31, 2006 The MK Interview on Bigfoot Live. Dear Readers, Well, M.K. Davis has finally spoken up about his use of Rick Noll’s work, and he also discusses his new “discovery” regarding the Patterson/Gimlin film (which does not now seem like such a new discovery). Who does M.K. Davis talk to, to get his side of all this out to the public? None other than Tom Biscardi. Yep, that’s right folks. Did anyone else find the [...]
Two More 2006 Deaths
The deaths of two other friends to cryptozoology have been brought to my attention. George W. Maugans, Jr., 94, who had been involved in various archaeological and anthropological investigations, including Bigfoot studies, died during 2006. The Baltimore Sun published his death notice last year: George William Maugans Jr. On November 17, 2006, George William Maugans, Jr., born September 17, 1912, in Maugansville, MD, [died]. A life member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, he was on the Chief Engineers Staff in the construction of the Safe Harbor hydroelectric dam on the Susquehanna River. He was later employed by the [...]

First Cryptid Sighting in 2007?
Every year I watch to see what is the first cryptid sighting that is mentioned in the media and what is the actual first cryptid encounter. Take for instance 2000. On January 2nd, news services reported that in the rural Malaysian village of Kampung Chennah, durian farmer Liong Chong Shen, 50, smelling a strong odor and hearing a grunt, turned to see two mystery ape-like animals covered in long, shiny, black and brown hair. The mawas (as they are locally called) stared at the startled farmer, and walked back into the nearby rainforest. As fate would have it, this 2000 [...]
