Linda Godfrey writes: “Hi, breaking news in that a second witness has contacted Ch.12 TV in Milwaukee and said that he will go on camera to tell about his sighting of what he claims is the same creature two years ago, not far from where Mr. Krueger saw it. The man is a painting contractor, and did see the lower part of the animal. It was bipedal. That’s all I know at the moment.” ___ Check back here for more later…
Not Bigfoot?
Witness denies labeling large animal Bigfoot West Bend, Wisconsin – A 39-year-old Menasha man has found himself in the middle of Washington County “wildman of the wilderness” fever. Steven Krueger doesn’t know where all this Bigfoot talk came from, but he will not be sorry to see it stop. “I hope it just goes away. It’s starting to get irritating,” Krueger said. “I never once said it was a Bigfoot or yeti.” The sheriff’s department report bears that out, only mentioning a creature “approximately 7 feet tall, very black, and very wide.” After some kind of creature startled Krueger early [...]
Godfrey: Wisconsin Bigfoot – NOT!
The following is authored by Linda Godfrey: The Washington County Bigfoot is not a Bigfoot! Much ado about something…but NOT a Bigfoot! Two Milwaukee TV stations, WTMJ ch. 4 and WISN ch. 12, reported Nov. 9 and 10, 2006, that Steven Krueger, a contractor who picks up roadkill for Washington and several other counties in southern Wisconsin, had an encounter with a Bigfoot. After a lengthy phone interview with Krueger on Nov. 10, I found out that he did have a strange experience with an unidentifiable creature, but it was NOT a Bigfoot. From Krueger’s description, the closest I can [...]
Slave Ships’ Apes
Could the “North American Apes” (Napes) have come over from Africa via slave ships? Napes is the term I coined to gather the names of Skunk Apes, Boogers, Swamp Apes, and other cryptid anthropoids from the SE USA under one umbrella moniker. I see Napes as a form of unknown ape, and not the Neo-Giant, not the classic Bigfoot. I began talking about these ideas some four decades ago, and presented formally in various public talks even before writing about them in later books and contributed chapters. For example, I gave “The Occurrence of Wild Apes in North America,” as [...]
More On Deer-Grabbing Bigfoot
What did the deer-grabbing Bigfoot look like? We still don’t know, and the above drawing by Richard Klyver has nothing to do with this Wisconsin report. Please, someone, ask Steven Krueger to describe what he saw, how it moved, how it jumped, and how it carried the deer, for starters! Please. In the wake of the first reports of the Bigfoot that grabbed a deer, the story is getting spun in various Wisconsin media. The following news item, although it does not mention the eyewitness by name, is about this week’s Wisconsin sighting by Steven Krueger, identified below as a [...]

Here’s some book ideas that are being put out there for kids who are visiting the activities and the current Missouri home of the traveling exhibition that left Bates College only a few weeks ago.

Paranthropus News
The following news release is shared here, as I consider the fossil candidate Paranthropus more compelling than Giganthropithecus for what is reported in several locations as "Bigfoot". I discussed this debate about these two fossil species here on Christmas Day 2005, please see “Bigfoot: Gigantopithecus or Paranthropus?” Not too many people read that blog, probably, as there were a lot of other things happening on that day, but the 22 comments there are some of the longest and most thoughtful I’ve read. The following University of Colorado study give more food for thought, every pun intended, for considering the significance [...]
Bigfoot Grabs Deer
A breaking news item out of Wisconsin says a Bigfoot was seen grabbing a road-kill deer and hightailing into the woods with it. Details on that in a minute. One of the first eyewitness drawings of Momo. Wisconsin seems to have had some interesting Bigfoot reports in recent years. The one that happened yesterday, November 9th, 2006, may be extremely unique, but then the state has given us some of the most interesting eastern cases of the 21st century. Take, for instance, there’s the case of Mr. Hughes. Around 5:15 a.m on March 28, 2000, James Hughes was delivering the [...]

Wanted: Your Bigfoot Documentary
It is time for you to dust off that independent documentary film that you made as a college project, or taped during your most recent weekend excursion. The makers of Sasquatch Mountain want to hear from you! Their DVD is due on January 23, 2007, and it is going to have a special section set aside for someone’s homegrown Bigfoot documentary project. In the meantime, I thought you all might wish to take a first look at the DVD cover (above) of Sasquatch Mountain. But back to this unique opportunity. Do you have a nonfiction short Bigfoot documentary film that [...]
