“Chupacabras”: Mystery Solved?
Over at Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, our Cryptomundo friend and C2C webmaster Lex Lonehood posted a photograph (above) from Ben Poledna, who had a story to tell. Poledna has given his permission for me to post it here, as I know a bit about the story behind the “thing” in the gentleman’s photograph. Poledna wrote: On January 27th, I attended the Ft. Worth Stock Show And Rodeo. There was an Old Man standing next to this small white tent claiming to have a real Chupacabras and admission was only $1, so I payed and went in and [...]

A new species of legless amphibian discovered by an Indian research team. The dispatch from Panaji gives the details: The significant discovery at Keri village, 20 km from the Mhadei dam site in Goa, highlights the wealth of biodiversity in the Western Ghats.

Points Places Bizarro Beasts
Stream of consciousness cryptozoology? Connect the dots romantic zoology? Twilight language hominology? Have you ever chosen a date, pondered, wondered, and seen where it took you? Let’s begin with January 30th, for example, and see where we go today. Let me examine first this curious little book entitled Bigfoot: Tales of Unexplained Creatures. It was published in 1978. Were you around in 1978? Do you recall the booklet’s investigator, a guy named Dennis Pilchis? Pilchis’ little organization existed in Rome, Ohio, and was called Page Research Library. His group privately published this thin strange book, Bigfoot: Tales of Unexplained Creatures, [...]
Crypto: A Personal Journey
Craig Heinselman, who turns 33 in May, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and became interested in nature mysteries when still a boy in the early 1980s. Heinselman, now a father and resident of New Hampshire, made a sudden appearance in cryptozoology circles in 1998. He first shared a free newsletter CRYPTO, dealing with the study of hidden animals and, a special interest of his, cryptofiction, at conferences and through the mails. The newsletter ended in 2001, with the publication of Volume 4, No. 1. Then during 2001 and 2002, he published some special issues, entitled Special Dracontology Issue I, [...]
Eastern Cougar Mysteries
On display at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology: The verified casts (one shown above, the other below) of credible eastern cougar tracks found in Massachusetts in 1990. Naturalist Helen McGinnis’ of the Eastern Cougar Foundation, during January 2007, has raised some questions about the above during their “Project Hoax.” A Mystery Melanistic Felid captured on film in Florida turned out to be a black bobcat. Helen McGinnis, in the late 1970s, gathered evidence and privately published her findings in papers widely distributed to cryptozoologically-minded associates saying she thought upwards of 40% of the mystery cats in that state were melanistic. [...]

Ropen Expedition ‘07
Click on the Ropen for a larger version. No scale was given for this drawing. As we have learned, the “Destination Truth” team is on a filming trek in Asia. Here is another insight into the expedition’s point-of-view and cryptid focus as they pursue the Ropen in Papua New Guinea: I was interviewed by Neil Mandt a few weeks ago as he was preparing for the expedition (this kind of excursion should only be done after consulting with someone who has been in Papua New Guinea, searching for the Ropen and/or eyewitnesses). At first, suspicious – the “Fi” of “Sci-Fi [...]
