Regarding the ongoing Mysterious America, which goes out of print Friday, here’s a review of it from Bob Rickard, editor of Fortean Times: MYSTERIOUS AMERICA Loren Coleman Paraview Press, New York; 2001. 334pp, index, illus, appendix. A fortean’s view of forteana. Essential reading. This book was first published in 1983; at that time is was the most important and detailed snapshot of forteana in modern America. In this revised edition, veteran fortean investigator and FT columnist Loren Coleman brings the picture up to date. Included here are classic reports on the Dover Demon, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon, Phantom Clowns, [...]
Talking to Brad Steiger
In Brad and Sherry Steiger’s new book, Conspiracies And Secret Societies: The Complete Dossier, you won’t expect to find anything about cryptozoology and you don’t. But there, in the midst of the death lists of the eyewitnesses to the JFK assassination and the strange demise of microbiologists, I ran across my “Mothman Death List.” In an extremely well-researched, inexpensive, 539-page reference work, which I highly recommend, of course I was struck by seeing my research on this subject in Conspiracies And Secret Societies: The Complete Dossier. Sure, maybe the Steigers should have decided to take on the CIA work done [...]
Almas 2006 Expedition
Here’s an update to John Kirk’s posting. In an exclusive communiqué sent to me this month, Adam Davies and Andrew Sanderson tell of finalizing their next new search. The two UK cryptozoologists, who appeared in the successful new National Geographic documentary about their search for the Orang Pendek, are back, hot on the trail of other hairy hominoids in 2006. They are planning a return expedition to Mongolia and now it is set to occur in June. This time the objective is to find evidence of the elusive Almas. The two close friends are excited to go.

Malay DNA & Cast in Play
DNA samples, theories on the creatures living in the swamps, future appearances on reality television are all in the news. Do not look for the Malaysian Bigfoot story to bolt from the media radar soon. Furthermore, we continue to ponder what to make of this track, cast by Sci-Fi’s Josh Gates? The footprint site is more visible in this new photograph (above) of the Malaysian Bigfoot cast still in the ground. This is the footcast that will be tested for DNA. Compare it to the following images of the other side of the cast and various comparative rhino and Orang [...]
Talking to Henry May
Today, I’m going to cross-post my interview by Henry May, who has a blog at the American Bigfoot Society Clearinghouse. Loren Coleman and the 8.5 ft tall "Crookston Bigfoot" at his International Cryptozoology Museum, Portland, Maine, summer 2005. Photo taken by Joseph Citro, used by permission. Hi, Henry Thank you for your growing site and your interest in chatting today. > 1. Do you believe the Malaysian Bigfoot is merely an orangtuan? First, I must say what I often say to the folks from the media: "Belief" is part of religion and faith. Therefore, when I am asked any [...]
Are There Three Kinds of Malaysian Bigfoot?
The story of the "Bigfoot" in the Endau-Rompin National Park, Malaysia, is becoming more complex. It seems like the time is ripe to sort out the media’s reports that the locals are seeing three types of hairy hominoids. According to the Bernama news service, on February 20, 2006, accounts surfaced that the locals, the Orang Asli, living along the Johor-Pahang border, claimed they have seen a variety of different-sized "Bigfoot" in the area. Illustration: Typical True Giant, drawing by Harry Trumbore, from Anomalist Books’ new edition of The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates by Loren Coleman and [...]
