I was talking to Roger Knights today, about the August 13, 1965 story of Monroe, Michigan, when Christine van Acker and her mother Mrs. Ruth Owens, had an encounter with a black 7-feet tall Bigfoot. The Bigfoot reached inside their car, giving Christine a black eye. Knights reminded me that it might not have been an “unprovoked assault” from the Bigfoot’s point of view, because their car had “brushed past” the Bigfoot before coming to a stop. Maybe I have been blaming the eastern Bigfoot for being too aggressive? Maybe not? Talking about this case certainly reminded me of other [...]

New Straits Times Book Has Bigfoot Pictures Sunday, 07 May 2006 By R. Sittamparam ———————————————————————— JOHOR BARU: A book on the Johor Bigfoot, said to include exclusive photographs of the elusive creature, has caused a stir among cryptozoologists around the world. The book authored by local writers and researchers, including the man in the thick of Bigfoot research in Johor, Vincent Chow, is set to be released in the next few months. Chow said yesterday he had seen the Bigfoot photographs, which belonged to an individual. He added the individual wished to remain anonymous for the time being. "The owner [...]
New Mothman Documentary
Why is this man smiling? Should this man be smiling? What movie were these two below in? If you read the first man’s column today in the Charleston Daily Mail you’d probably discover that the second man might not be smiling because guy number one, Dave Peyton, miswrote the name of the movie based on John A. Keel’s book as The Mothman Chronicles. Of course, Keel’s book is The Mothman Prophecies and so is the Richard Gere and Laura Linney movie. (Nice shirt Ms. Linney has on. I’m lucky enough to have it for my museum, and that does make [...]
Bigfoot, Not Bigfeet – Continued
Roger Knights, the intellectually-aware Bigfoot correspondent to many, has followed a comment to my original “Bigfoot, Not Bigfeet” posting that deserves to be addressed separately, with room for more comments, here. He writes: The Bords were as knowledgeable as anyone, and they used “Bigfeet” as the plural in their Casebook, and retained that usage in the version republished last year. (E.g., in the title of Ch. 7, on p. 121.)…A much better indication of a natural (unaffected) plural is the case of the Blackfoot tribe of Indians. The natural tendency of English-speakers is to refer to a group of them [...]
Manimal – The Conclusion
Is Manimal More Man Than Animal? by Dmitri Bayanov © 2006 International Center of Hominology Moscow, Russia Conclusion It is said that the significance of a scientific theory can be measured by the time it impeded scientific progress. Let’s hope the “ape model” theory won’t go down in history as very significant in this respect. Still it plays a major part in causing the Bigfoot research community to turn the blind eye to the Carter Farm case and the book 50 Years with Bigfoot: Tennessee Chronicles of Co-Existence. In my opinion, after this book business as usual is not on [...]
Manimal – Part Three
Is Manimal More Man Than Animal? by Dmitri Bayanov © 2006 International Center of Hominology Moscow, Russia Part Three In my book, In the Footsteps of the Russian Snowman, 1996, I told about a local teacher in Eastern Kazakhstan, named Mstislav Kushnikov, who “has heard stories about ksy-gyik (wild man) from the locals and personally saw huge footprints at the place of one sighting. He opened a regional museum and one of its paintings, done by a local artist, is an enlarged copy of a picture in a textbook of anthropology showing a Neanderthal in front of his cave. Once [...]
Manimal – Part Two
Is Manimal More Man Than Animal? by Dmitri Bayanov © 2006 International Center of Hominology Moscow, Russia Part Two But the hardest stumbling block, which I painfully stumble against even today, is the unbelievable linguistic prowess of the Carter Farm Bigfoot. The two Sasquatch words of unknown meaning, remembered and brought from the wilderness to civilization by Albert Ostman, could easily be ignored and forgotten by hominologists, but how can you ignore and forget the published vocabulary of 223 Bigfoot words and phrases presented by Janice Carter Coy, each word and phrase dutifully translated into English? How did she manage [...]
Is Manimal More Man Than Animal?
Today, Cryptomundo’s publication begins – in four parts – of Dmitri Bayanov’s lengthy commentary on the status of Sasquatch/Bigfoot, a bit on ksy-gyik, and specifically, in some depth, his notions on the Carter Farm Bigfoot, within the context of the human family. This Bayanov essay is entitled, “Is Manimal More Man Than Animal?” After all, what do you make of the Albert Ostman affair? This is an interpretation of the Albert Ostman kidnapping by French hominologist Christian Le Noel. Below and in the other parts you will find a free-ranging essay by the Russian hominologist sharing his thoughts on the [...]
Bigfoot, Not Bigfeet!
Please avoid letting me hear “Sasquatches” too! No, no, no “Bigfeet” allowed in here. Some nouns, particularly the names of animals and fish, have the same form in singular and plural. Historically and grammatically correct is the word “Bigfoot” for singular and plural, just as “sheep” means one sheep and two or more sheep. There are a number of animals that have the same singular and plural form, for example: antelope – antelope buffalo – buffalo bison – bison mink – mink otter – otter bass – bass deer – deer moose – moose swine – swine pike – pike [...]
