Whatever hates dogs in central Maine is back. It kills, it slices dogs’ throats, and it terrorizes the citizenry. Creepiest of all, eyewitnesses say it looks like a hyena! During the summer of 2004, Lewiston Sun-Journal reporter Mark LaFlamme covered the story of a strange creature that was killing dogs. "It began in mid-August [2004]," wrote LaFlamme, "when a Wales [Maine] man reported that an unknown animal crept out of the woods behind his house and mauled his Doberman pinscher….Since that attack, people from Wales, Litchfield, Sabattus, Greene, Turner, Lewiston and Auburn have come forward to speak of a mystery [...]
On Coast to Coast
On this Tuesday’s overnight, November 15th’s Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, I will be appearing to talk about Lake Monsters, Thunderbirds, Mothman, and Bigfoot. In three hours it’s easy to cover many cryptozoological subjects, and I look forward to people calling in to discuss anything they want. If you have any questions you want me to answer on air, leave them here in the comments section. I’ll work them into the show, or answer them next week, if C2C doesn’t get to them. Also on with me, via phone from NC, will be my old Fortean friend Mark [...]
CZ in PopPolitics
Boing Boing ("A Directory of Wonderful Things"), being one of my favorite blogs and especially those by David Pescovitz, was the first on the block, to understand the mixture in modern technoculture and cryptozoology. Now over at PopPolitics ("Where Politics and Popular Cultures Meet"), they are talking about cryptozoology too. Blogger Bernie in his "One Culture’s Myth …" is carrying on a good exchange, as he comes closer to understanding what we are all about. Here’s part of what I wrote today in PopPolitics comments section about the current cryptozoology converstation there: Hi, Bernie. You ask if it isn’t "true [...]
Bigfoot Hair Needed
I am attempting to obtain a piece of Bigfoot hair for the International Cryptozoology Museum (ICM), and by extension for the Bates College Cryptozoology Exhibition of June-Oct 2006/HR Block Natural History Museum (KS) Exhibition of Oct-Dec 2006. The hair would be a sample of “Bigfoot hair” as presented first by the primary collector, even if eventual tests revealed it was something else. Please label it clearly with date of collection, location of collection, collector, and other information, such as donated by and/or analyzed by….and full credit will be given to you in the exhibition. Please send it to Loren Coleman, [...]
Andes’ Ucumar in new TV Series
Ooops, I meant “new TV movie,” of course. This is a television film directed by Fred Wolf, who co-wrote the screenplay with Peter Gaulke. Look for Bigfoot hunting to be the next wave in fictional television productions. First out of the gate: "Strange Wilderness" in 2006. The television movie would join the growing ranks of new television series with cryptozoological themes, like "Surface" on NBC-TV. The plot for "Strange Wilderness" has two "animal enthusiasts" heading to the Andes in search of Bigfoot to boost the ratings of a show in trouble, which, of course, is named "Strange Wilderness." Perhaps someone [...]
Bush Bumps Bigfoot
I flew to New York, and I just flew back. "Fox & Friends" had been promoting that they were going to talk about Bigfoot this morning and I was the guest. They were showing footage of the Patterson-Gimlin film (I sure hope they paid Mrs. Patterson the user fee for this tease). They put the makeup on me (ugh) so my nose won’t shine. They sent me from the first Green Room to the second one, closer to the studio. I had my Yeti hair, reproduction of the 1967 filmsite footprint, and my Gigantopithecus blacki skull as my on-camera props, [...]
Bridgewater Triangle 2005
Another benefit of Halloween newspaper articles is that the rare update appears via a well-researched and well-written piece. Today finds one of the best examples of this in "Tales from the swamp: From ape-like creatures to glowing lights, Hockomock has kept its secrets for centuries" by Ross A. Muscato, in the October 30, 2005 issue of the Boston Sunday Globe. Muscato, in this long and detailed essay tells of how: Over generations, many have believed the Hockomock is home to spirits, strange animals, and more. Stories abound: There are the vicious, giant dogs with red eyes seen ravenously sinking their [...]
Bates and Halloween
Some cities and towns begin celebrating Halloween early, today, on a Saturday night. The theory goes that parents and kids won’t be in conflict with the "night before school" bedtimes during the rest of the weekend. That way, they all get one extra hour of sleep to dream of curious creatures and other wonders. I know I will be. For kids, college students, adults, moms, and dads attending the Bates College Cryptozoology Symposium, Halloween came early with talk of monsters, art, cryptids, fantastic cabinets of curios, sculptures, creatures, Hobbits, cryptozoology, Sea Serpents, installments, natural history museums, imagination, imagery, Bigfoot, and [...]
Media Day
Media Day, Cryptozoology, and Halloween I am happy you found your way to Cryptomundo. But think about it, how do people hear about cryptozoology? From the media, of course. Television reality programming, books, radio shows, the internet, movies, magazines. All forms of the media, creating a whole new set of cryptozoologists-in-training. There are many choices out there for people, and oftentimes cryptozoologists are asked to do interviews. I do them because I am interested in a serious, adventurous, scientific profile of cryptozoology being shared with the public. Many teachers and parents have told me that nonreaders have turned into readers [...]
Sasquatch on golf courses
Watching a tribute on ESPN to Tiger Woods tonight, an ad flashes on. People are describing something they have seen on a golf course, large, with a flat face, and other imagery that any Bigfooter would recognize as reflective of our quest. Then, SQ appears, followed by other letters…until you see "SASQUATCH…Coming in November." Nike is introducing a new club named "SasQuatch," and the ads are certainly entertaining. Meanwhile, a few months ago, I was interviewed by GolfStyles Ohio reporter Jon E. Hale about sightings of Bigfoot (Eastern Bigfoot, Windigo, Marked Hominoids?) near Ohio golf courses. Jon informs me the [...]
