There’s a new argument occurring over at the James Randi skeptics forum, between Bigfoot promoters and skeptics, this last week in February 2007. It’s all about the unlikely subject of what was said by anthropologist Grover Krantz regarding the reality of the Skookum Cast. Here’s the result of some research and what may be the “final” confusing answer on the matter. In 2004, Scott Herriott engaged in a spirited exchange with John Green on the Bigfoot Yahoo list about the subject. Herriott displayed some skepticism pertaining to Green’s claim that Krantz had endorsed the Skookum Cast. After all, Herriott remarked, [...]
Beaked Whale Discoverer Dies
As important as he became as a scientist, he never stopped being the boy who came home for dinner with a frog in one pocket and a crawfish in the other. His love of all marine life was both infectious and inspiring.Paul G. Haaga Jr, museum board member recalls John E. Heyning John Heyning, deputy director of the research and collections at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, places one of the specimens used to genetically identify a rare-beaked whale on display.

Yeti and The Number 23
Virginia Madsen stars in The Number 23, opening in the USA on February 23, 2007. As reported in promotional interviews about the movie, Madsen was asked: “How did you learn about the number 23 phenomenon? Virginia, had you heard of the phenomenon?” Yes, because I think all that stuff is really fun, the shows on the Discovery Channel about ghosts and the Yeti and UFOs, which I totally believe in, so I’d heard about it. But I didn’t know how vast it was until really the first day of production. I’d sort of been online and I came in and [...]
How Would You Hunt Bigfoot?
Okay, I’ll take up the call for this one. People seem to wish to talk about how they would go about hunting for Bigfoot or Sasquatch. A free exchange of ideas and suggestions may assist people who want to pick up new approaches or enhance their own knowledge of searching for a real Bigfoot. I’ll undertake this exercise for the benefit of people who wish to find one place to revisit to watch an exchange grown, evolve, and take different tracks. So here goes… Limiting this to real, biological examples of an unknown primate in North America, how would you [...]
The Wallace Line in Bigfoot Studies
A Startling New Discovery Sometimes proof is so definitive, so compelling, it is difficult to ignore. Let me tell you today about the Wallace Line within Bigfoot studies. For those of us that consider Bigfoot a fact, I feel it is something we can no longer brush aside as unimportant in future discussions. I have purposely coined and am using a phrase that can have many meanings as we look at this situation. But the bottomline is this: some Bigfooters, many of whom routinely say to scientists, “If only you would look at the evidence with an open-mind, you would [...]
Dream Job? Searching For Bigfoot
Setting the Record Straight: CareerBuilder.com I have been told and asked about some statements that have been attributed to me in an “article” that appeared a little over a week ago. Apparently, in various Sunday CareerBuilder.com special insert sections of The Baltimore Sun, The Chicago Tribune, and other newspapers for February 11, 2007, I was profiled. I have been identified as having the profession: “Bigfoot Hunter,” in some versions of the piece. I was not paid for this item, and wonder if it is more an ad than an article? Anyway, the written treatment in the CareerBuilder.com section sounds like [...]
Happy Birthdays!
In the United States today is President’s Day, which for many means a day off from work and for school children in some parts of the country, the beginning of a one-week vacation break. But, of course, it is about celebrating the days of birth of the USA’s former Presidents, especially of George Washington. But there are others we can celebrate too. For example, today is the 71st birthday of Brad Steiger, the famous author of many books on the unexplained. Brad was born Eugene Olson in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on February 19, 1936. Brad began his early adult life [...]
New Dover Demon Sighting?
What’s up with this? Has there been a new sighting of the Dover Demon? I’ve mentioned the little guy lately here, because the Boston Globe did a new update around Halloween of last year and we are creeping up on Year #30. Also, over Christmas, I highlighted one of the figurines (example below), as they are reflective of how important the Dover Demon remains in Japan today. Nevertheless, a new sighting now is unexpected. But look what just showed up online: Last seen Saturday, February 3rd, 2007, in Westwood, Mass. behind the parking lot at Xaverian Brothers High School. Unsigned [...]

The Bridgewater Triangle Video
For fans of the Bridgewater Triangle, I ran across this new YouTube half-hour video. Anyone who has not been to the Hockomock Swamp and the surrounding area will find this footage enlightening. Enjoy. There is a chapter in the new Mysterious America: The Ultimate Guide to the Nation’s Weirdest Wonders, Strangest Spots, and Creepiest Creatures that specifically deals with the cryptozoological and Fortean aspects of this location.
