"I found that the Patterson subject was carrying…a stick." – M. K. Davis, December 3, 2006. At the top of this post are two photographs; (1) a common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) digging with a stick; and (2) a lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) with a stick. Directly below is the archival photograph from the Library of Congress of a human being (Homo sapiens sapiens), who has been labeled a "Digger Indian" within those archives. Further below is the image of Bigfoot from the Patterson-Gimlin footage. Please compare them all. Initially, M. K. Davis said that from his reading of the images [...]
M. K. Davis Responses
Fair is fair. I asked some questions here yesterday (although some people made the jump to the mistaken notion that they were declarative sentences). Please see specifically, Bigfoot = “Digger Indian”? Racism Revisited and the comments following that blog. I wondered aloud about M. K. Davis’s reading of history (which seems to be different than mine), his promotional but incomplete comments for a forthcoming film that compares Native people (no matter when they appeared in America) to the cryptid seen in the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage, and his employment of certain terms that have a deeper history and meaning than he [...]
Professor Hex in KC Out of Time Place Scale
Professor Hex and his nieces visit the Kansas City exhibition. Fantomina reports for work. Goblina studies a unknown hominid. The Crookston Bigfoot longs for the new snow in Maine and gets ready to come home. Also, see the latest from Boing Boing on this subject.
Bigfoot = “Digger Indian”?
Is M. K. Davis a racist? Of course not. But what are we to make of what he is saying? That question sounds shocking, doesn’t it? Well, I think you will be surprised by what I, a part Eastern Band Cherokee man, find myself forced to post today. I have to be forthright to paint this picture clearly, so there will be absolutely no confusion about what is being discussed. M. K. Davis recently made some revelations that he now considers Bigfoot to be nothing more than a “human.” This stirred up a great intellectual debate at this site, on [...]
Bayer Stone Head Continues
This entry adds more information to the December 3, 2006 initial posting on The Bayer Stone Head. The Bayer Stone Head’s owner, David Chisholm (a military security consultant) shares the following and forwards the photograph of the bottom of the head: The color is brown paint. William Bayer’s uncle painted it brown. The best estimate to its color is the base. The eyes, William’s uncle cracked a marble and glued the halves in for eyes; they fell out some years ago. I surmised that it is glue residue in the sockets. I had the thought of removing it and started [...]
The Bayer Stone Head: What Is It?
What face stares out from the nearly thirty-pound stone head found in the ground in 1932, in New Paltz, New York? Are the features extremely ape-like or child-like? How does it compare to the Columbia River stone heads discussed in the Sasquatch literature? Does the stone head’s smile remind us of that Tsimishian carved mask’s smile (below) dated to several hundred years ago from British Columbia, and mentioned as relevant to Sasquatch research? Compare them. See for yourself: Click image for full size version Click image for full size version Click image for full size version Click image for full [...]
Post-Discovery: Still Bigfoot? Nessie? Chupacabras? Thunderbird?
There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust your screen. We are controlling transmission. We can reduce the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity (actually, we can’t and the cartoon above is out of focus, on purpose). For the next few minutes, sit quietly and we will control all that you read. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… Cryptomundo. Well, sometimes it might seem that way, but this blog is an example of how people can read words, names, monikers, and [...]
CZ 2006 Lists Begin Roundup
Cryptozoology, in various overt and covert ways, is all over the news this last week in November 2006, as people appear to be getting a headstart on their end of the year lists. Here’s a snappy overview of the first wave. First, a calm and quiet honor you may have missed. Stanley Newman is the editor of the Newsday Crossword and author/editor of nearly 100 books on crosswords, word games and trivia. On November 29, 2006, Newman picked his: Word of the week: “cryptozoology.” It is the study of creatures whose existence is as yet unproved. Cryptozoological subjects include the [...]
More On “Bigfoot = Human?”
In yesterday’s blog, “Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot = A Hairy Human?”, I overviewed the startling announcement from M. K. Davis, after ten years of study, that he feels that the film’s Sasquatch is nothing more than a “human.” But he says it is not a human in a suit. Due to his forthcoming appearance in a motion picture by Pat Holdbrook, neither Davis nor Holdbrook would share further information or details. So, onward with photos of the principals and comments by leading analysts. Plus, I wish to put out a call for some drawings related to all of this, whatever this is. [...]
Mothman + 40 + Bighoot = New Debates
November 27 is another milestone in the 40th year anniversary of events related to Mothman. On November 27,1966, at around 10:30 a.m., Connie Jo Carpenter sighted what she took to be Mothman near New Haven, West Virginia. The creature looked to be a tall gray winged figure, standing on the local golf course. She said the “very red eyes” were “horrible, like something out of a science fiction movie,” but could not give a detailed description of the face of the creature. Carpenter’s Mothman unfolded its wings, which appeared to be ten feet across, and flew directly at her automobile’s [...]
