Reports of dragon sightings in Canada are to be taken seriously. A traveling exhibition from two primarily French locations will soon be visiting the Royal Alberta Museum. Due to the fact this will be its first installation in an English-speaking site, there may be more attention to it throughout North America rather immediately.
Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute: Update
On Saturday, April 12, after nicely being put up for the night before by Helen Jacobson, president of the 826 Boston board, I was a guest of honor during the formal launching of the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute (GBBRI), the unique literacy center, which just opened in Massachusetts. Above: The incredibly, simple but complex, to-the-point but creative, and intriguing but academically-appropriate GBBRI logo was designed by Amanda McCorkle of ColorQuarry.com. (BTW, it was a good decision for me to attend, despite my recent loss, as it connected me to the roots of good parenting, tutorship, and the future of [...]
Yowie Photo
Sometimes everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. Sometimes people are just in the right place at the right time. What is this episode all about? Tony Healy’s and Paul Cropper’s The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot has made these hairy hominoids quite popular in their own country and much more well-known around the world.

Proof…Paul Compton with one of the photos that he believes backs up his personal claims of a giant Yowie-like animal living in the Glen [...]

Bob Gimlin Sighting
Sarah Utter doesn’t say much about what happened at the Bigfoot gathering, but does report she had a Bob Gimlin sighting in her town. The local mainstream media took care of covering the event, as it turns out. But thank goodness for grassroots folks like Ms. Utter. Besides taking his photo, Ms. Utter seems to have been just as interested in snapping pictures of the signs on the trucks that showed up to see Gimlin.

Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2007
Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2007 by Loren Coleman, Bigfoot!, and The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates. During 2007, the worldwide interest in unknown hairy human-like creatures moved from a focus in Malaysia in 2005-2006, to more interest again in North American events. Some of the news was purely organizational and people-driven. Early news out of Texas, for example, told of the establishment of the non-profit Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy on January 18, 2007. A mid-year announcement mentioned Ray Crowe’s Track Record had ceased publication. Some news was a mixed bag of local eruptions of various media-created [...]
Bizarre Bigfooter Bedfellows
Janice Carter Coy alleged meeting with the Bigfoot “Fox” in her house’s basement, April 2002. The netherworld of Bigfooters is known to have a few bizarre “marriages” and “divorces.” The unions and break-ups have been well-documented for such strange bedfellows as Peter Byrne and Ray Crowe, Jeff Meldrum and Matt Moneymaker, Tom Biscardi and Ray Crowe, Tom Biscardi and Tara Hauke, and Erik Beckjord and Tara Hauke. Now comes word that Jon-Erik Beckjord has joined with Janice Carter Coy, the co-author of 50 Years of Bigfoot: Tennessee Chronicles of Co-Existence, in some new cooperative efforts.
