Not Texas
I’ve been asked again about meeting up with some people at the Texas Bigfoot conference this year. I’ve mentioned it before, but let me say it again: That gathering is run by a new committee and I wasn’t part of their plans for this year. I won’t be there. I will be in Newcastle, England, over Labor Day, at the Mass Monster Mash conference in October, and at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on December 1, 2007. See you all at those places, and more upcoming, but not in Texas in 2007. Thank you for [...]

A Ukrainian biologist who has spent years hunting for the Russian equivalent of the Yeti will be one of the speakers at this year’s Weird Weekend in Woolsery. Grigoriy Panchenko claims to have seen one of the creatures himself in a barn on a remote farm in 1991. He also claims to [...]
