Nessie, seal, or otter? This does not represent a car full of Rock Ness attendees trying to photograph Nessie, but merely another view of the Spicer encounter of 1933 (used for promotional purposes by loch-ness.org on various Scottish tourism sites). As you will recall, after all the buzz of the Holmes video of an unknown something in Loch Ness, a million pounds was offered for definite photographic proof of Nessie. A promoter was to hand out reportedly 50,000 cameras at the Rock Ness concert held near Loch Ness. Attendence was more than the 22,000 that showed up last year for [...]
Update: Penn Giant Snake
The readers’ comments at Cryptomundo have foreshadowed what the media has discovered from “experts” who were asked about the recent black Giant Snake reports from Bucks County. I’m not surprised because it is obvious we have some extremely knowledgeable people registered here and leaving insights. Here are the media-obtained remarks: A spokeswoman from the Philadelphia Zoo who is an expert on snakes said it’s possible for snakes to eat small animals, but if they do, they will swallow them whole and not leave anything behind. She also said that a snake’s appetite would be less than usual with the weather [...]
Penn Giant Snake Eats Kittens
One hundred years ago, explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett was sent by the Royal Geographic Society to make a thorough survey of the Rio Abuna and Acre Rivers. He encountered a Giant Snake. Today, sightings of a large serpent have stirred the media in the Midwest USA. Click image for full-size version Fawcett ran across his snake in 1907, as he was drifting along the Rio Negro. Fawcett shot the creature and finally examined it on the river bank where it came ashore. According to Fawcett, the snake measured 45 feet out of the water and 17 in it, for [...]

Update: Mt. Hood Mystery Photo
Bigfoot or bear? That does not seem to be the source of most inquiries about this photo any longer. With regard to the most frequent questions heard, they are about why more than one photograph was not taken. The Mt. Hood trailcam owner has forwarded these specifics: The fastest the camera can do is one picture a min. Then it takes a 30 sec. video. They are moition & heat responsive.The camera first takes a picture then about 1-2 seconds it starts a 30 sec. video. The video shows nothing [as] the animal already escaped; we try to put the [...]

Watch Mr. Wizard No More
Many 1950s-1960s cryptozoologists were introduced to science on television, first and foremost, by Mr. Wizard. I am saddened to hear that he has passed away today. It is with deep sadness that we regret to inform you of the passing of Don Herbert – the one and only “Mr. Wizard”. Don lost his battle with cancer today, June 12, 2007, at 9 AM – slightly more than one month shy of his 90th birthday. He was lovingly surrounded by his family, who are at once, saddened by his passing, and relieved that he is no longer suffering. We all feel [...]
New Encounters with Mande Burung (Wild Jungle People)
If you look in my book, The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates (NY: Anomalist Books, 2006), you will find range maps for some of the types of hairy hominoids that the data gathers. Some have tried to revise these maps, for example, for the “Erectus Hominids,” by expanding the range into the vast outback desert of Australia or cutting back the range from more certain Asia. It does not really matter because new reports and discovered old cases will keep changing what people feel are the ranges of any of these hominoid cryptids. The reports will speak [...]
Making the Grade in a Plethora of Titles
Back in 1983, a few people did notice when the book above was published. Otherwise, it won’t be called a classic. Today, it’s good that at least one reviewer is enjoying it so much that he has given me a letter grade for the expanded, updated 2007 edition. When I was in school, I had mixed feelings about getting a high letter grade. What was the teacher trying to tell me? Was I almost perfect or didn’t I say what I wanted to say? Was I above average but not excellent? Was I pretty darned good, but need not get [...]
New Mt. Hood Mystery Photo
Click on image for full size version As the code tells anyone, this photograph was taken on June 7, 2007, at 7:11 p.m. by the same people who have had some luck with pictures from this same location. What do you think this latest trailcam image shows? I have some ideas, but I don’t want to bias anyone’s looking at this with an open mind. Before this new photo, the one before showed a close encounter of the elk kind. See these below to compare with the new one above, and the original “Bigfoot mystery” photo (at the bottom), which, [...]
