The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 2: Wildmen in North America and Bigfoot Emerges by Mark A. Hall Wildmen in North America The subject of Bigfoot is but one of several mystery primates for whom a long and involved record has been found to exist in North America. The earliest historical reference to a mystery primate dates to 1784. [4] We know of the details of an 1829 report from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. [5] In recent decades accounts of sightings and hunts for hairy “wildmen” around North America in the 1800s have been turning up all [...]
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks
During the next ten days, I will be sharing Mark A. Hall comprehensive contribution, “The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks,” which completes the triad of his treatments detailing his examination of North American unknown hairy hominoid footprints in the context of the Ray Wallace hoaxes. The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 1: Introduction by Mark A. Hall As the new year of 2003 began, there was a welcome shift away from the excesses in newspaper reporting on Bigfoot that the USA experienced in December of 2002. The Denver (Colorado) Post in its issue for 5 January 2003 [...]
Jim Jung Dies
Jim Jung, 54, an Illinois panther researcher and Fortean author passed away on March 15, 2007. He had for years gathered the disputed information that convinced him that black panthers and eastern cougars lived in his home state. As long as his website remains active, his cougar data on the web can be found here and here. Jung had just published his special look at the strange phenomena of southern Illinois, in the area north of Cairo called Egypt. He was also known, for the last decade, for his annual Southern Illinois almanac, The Waterman & Hill Traveller’s Companion. Scott [...]
Kill Or No Kill?
Would you kill a Bigfoot, if you got the chance? The cover illustration by Dick Klyver is of Homo floresiensis, a Proto-Pygmy, on the front of The Field Guide of Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates, 2006.
Paul Cropper on Springbrook Yowie
Australian cryptozoologist Paul Cropper, co-author of The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot offers his take on the comments here on Cryptomundo regarding the Springbrook Yowie earlier post. This is Paul Cropper, co-author of the Yowie book. It’s no stunt. Firstly, the article author, journalist Gabrielle Dunlevey of the Gold Coast Bulletin, contacted us about a week and a half ago about the reports. We didn’t call her. Here’s a quote from her email to us: “Hi Paul and Tony. I was hunting around for stories at Springbrook today, and learned about the recent release of your book from Andre [...]
Meldrum Tapdances
In the current issue of TAPS Paramagazine on newsstands now and via mail (you can click on the ad to the right), you will find a new “Q and A” session with Dr. Jeff Meldrum about Bigfoot. Yes, I have the cover article on Sea Serpents plus a list-column on New England Lake Monsters, but what I wanted to really mention was the Meldrum article. I only learned about it after my issue came recently. Meldrum, of course, doesn’t “tapdance” in the traditional negative meaning, i.e. that he is avoiding topics. He dances about in fine form, as in cutting-a-rug [...]
The Outer Edge
Just to answer a question about my first two books, The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, with Jerome Clark, yes, they have been republished. And yes, they reflect our youthful theories, long thrown overboard. But the reports, sightings, and some connections still ring true, decades later. First appearing in 1975 and 1978, these two paperbacks were published in 2006, as a special double edition with a new introduction. The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge: The Early Works of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman is a combined quality paperbound book from Anomalist Books. The Unidentified has intriguing, [...]
Cryptomundo’s Ultimate CZ FAQs
(Click on image to see full size version, enhanced by shockbeton) Fans, friends, and readers of Cryptomundo, I have an idea that it might be good to have a permanent “Cryptomundo’s Frequently Asked Questions” location attached to the Cryptomundo site. Perhaps it would be via a long blog of answers, or series of blogs. Maybe it would be a hyperlinked sidebar dedicated location. I see this as a gift in return to all those who have done so much to keep my blogging alive here. Let me see if this will work. The details will be ironed out. But the [...]
Big Birds Or Not?
Let me try this again. Yesterday, I too hastily said some things about Ken Gerhard’s new book without having the time to fully develop what I meant. I removed that blog, and then later saw that cryptozoologist Chad Arment disagreed with me, a bit, that’s fine, about our different world views of cryptozoology. Chad also took the opportunity to use my vanished blog to have at me. I actually think that is great, as I need to be pulled in sometimes, especially when a book puts me in a bad mood and I go too global. I did not mean [...]
Springbrook Yowie Is Back!
There’s news from the Gold Coast Bulletin in Queensland, for March 2007, of breaking Yowie activity. Paul Cropper sends along the full story, available if you click on the above image. For more on the past Springbrook Yowie sightings and footprint finds, please see The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot by Tony Healy and Paul Cropper.
