On Thursday, September 21, 2006, John Bindernagel and Jeffrey Meldrum will appear on “Coast to Coast AM with George Noory” to discuss Sasquatch and to promote their Bigfoot books, North America’s Great Ape: the Sasquatch, and Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science.
C2C: Recap
The “Coast to Coast AM with George Noory” producers/webmaster (Lisa, Tom & Lex) have posted their recap of my appearance here: Coleman Update First hour guest, Loren Coleman commented on the copycat nature of the Montreal school shooting, relating it to recent shootings in Vermont, North Carolina and France. The media plays a part by publicizing the anniversaries of events such as Columbine, he said. Coleman also gave an update on cryptozoology news, discussing the ‘Wooly Rhino’ and other creatures. Several interesting callers phoned in, with the best sighting of the night shared, in some detail, by an individual who [...]
What Is A Yarwen?
Has a Yarwen been captured in Maine? Read more about that question here. In this column, I wish to explore what kind of monsters (from creatures to humans) might be behind the use of such a word as "Yarwen." First, let’s consider that this term is not being used loosely, but very specifically to describe a person’s killing of an adult cryptid and the transporting of its baby. The mental graphic images of a young hominoid in a cage in New Jersey, yes, Jersey, are just more than I can take, but I’ll press onward, in the service of cryptozoology’s [...]
Bigfoot Contactees: 50 Years of Coquettishness
In my California days, when I began looking into the reports of people having intimate encounters with hairy bipedal beasts, I use to file them away as "Bigfoot contactees." Nowadays, these kinds of accounts are becoming more frequent, or at least, more frequently discussed. Can we open-mindedly talk about cases like these, and come away feeling different about the reports given by Thom Powell in his book, The Locals: A Contemporary Investigation of the Bigfoot/Sasquatch Phenomenon, and those shared by Janice Carter Coy and Mary Alayne Green in their infamous tome? In other words, can we accept some of what [...]
Gorillas In Our Midst
A 19th Century illustration of Paul du Chaillu confronting a gorilla in Africa. Why would early newspapers in the United States use the term "gorilla" so frequently in the late 1800s when a large, hairy anthropoid was seen in nearby hollows and hills? Simply put, gorillas during that time were rather closely tied to American explorers’ discoveries and American journalistic interest in others’ adventures with the apes. I’m not for the source of all of the confusion and challenges among Bigfoot researchers and/or those making comments at Cryptomundo about whether or not "gorilla" was used as a way to describe [...]
Cryptozoologist Relocates
The author of Thunderbirds is closing up shop in the South and flying, er, driving back North. Mark A. Hall, cryptozoologist, Fortean, author, editor of Wonders, primary investigator of the Minnesota Iceman, former director of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained, and my good friend, is making his final relocation. After living in North Carolina for a few years and trying to make a go of it there, Hall is moving back to his home state of Minnesota. He is also permanently closing down his private publishing company, Mark A. Hall Publications (MAHP), and will no [...]
Johor Pix Hoax: More
The book above is the source of the recreations that were photographed, and then scanned, taken out of context, or otherwise shown to Vincent Chow as evidence of the “Johor Hominid.” We all know now it was an elaborate hoax, with a society created, some guardians, and eventually a website supporting this misinformation. This discovery is to be fully credited to Jean luc Drevillon, who cc’ed the following email to me early this Friday, August 4th morning (at 3:25 AM) but unfortunately via the Editor email address at Cryptomundo. I did not see this until mid-day when it was recently [...]
Lawndale’s Big Birds
Lawndale’s big bird returns – in print by Erin Clark The Lincoln (Illinois) Courier Lawndale resident Marlon Lowe traveled nearly 40 yards – by bird. The then 10-year-old was picked up in giant talons and nearly carried away 29 years ago today. According to The Courier’s account from July 26, 1977, two birds with wingspans of 4 to 6 feet attacked Lowe, and one of them caught the boy by the shirt and lifted him about a foot into the air. "He’s probably the luckiest kid in the world" that the bird only grabbed onto his shirt and not his [...]

Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life
When I first saw the notice of Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life coming back into print, I had emotions that ranged from joy and sadness, to caution and upset. I was happy to know that a whole new generation of cryptozoologists would be able to read Ivan T. Sanderson’s book. Sorrow nevertheless hit me. I was hoping to see the book reprinted in a high-quality hardback edition, as a celebration of the early days of Sanderson’s discovery of the diversity of unknown hairy hominoids. Afterall this is Ivan T. Sanderson we are talking about, the person who actually coined [...]
