It is not too early to sign up for the 2007 Texas Bigfoot Conference. All kinds of things happen at the Texas gathering. If you will note, below, here’s Paul Cropper and me captured in 2005, photographically, as a strange creature is seen sneaking up on us. Yes, I wore that shirt to scare away the Sasquatch, it seems, and besides my luggage was lost overnight by the airlines, when I first arrived. Once again, the 2007 conference will be held in Jefferson, Texas; this time is will take place on Saturday, November 10, beginning at 10:00 am at Jefferson [...]
John Keel: A Rare Appearance
John A. Keel rarely attends conferences these days. However, he will be lecturing in October 2007. UNIV-CON, the national paranormal conference, is to be held at Penn State University, in the town of State College, Pennsylvania, over the weekend of October 18-21, 2007. As noted, among the conference lecturers is scheduled to be Fortean researcher and author John A. Keel of The Mothman Prophecies fame. Keel will specifically be coming out of retirement to give a talk on Saturday, October 20, 2007. The organizers’ promotional material claims that UNIV-CON is considered to be the largest paranormal conference in America and [...]
1981 Champ Conference
Were you there? Did you attend the August 1981 conference in Vermont, the first scientific seminar devoted to a study of the cryptids that have been reported lurking in the waters of Lake Champlain for the past 300 years? It sort of was the Woodstock of Champ. I was there. I wrote about the conference in Mysterious America. Here’s a sample what I saw and heard: In the morning session, Joseph Zarzynski ran down the historical background of the Champ sightings and introduced the audience of 200 people to the Sandra Mansi photograph. Projected on a wall-size screen in an [...]
“Mythic” Opens
The exhibition, “Mythic Creatures” opens at The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City on Saturday, May 26, 2007. Two good articles on the exhibition and the opening are (click on the title of each article for the link): “The Surprising Realities of Mythical Creatures,” LiveScience; “Exploring the Nature of the Unnatural,” New York Times. On some level, I was surprised to see Richard Ellis is a co-curator of the exhibition, while on another, I wasn’t. Richard has painted and illustrated various museums and books with some outstanding images of marine life, has a deep interest in [...]

Mythic Beasts
Mythic Creatures opens at The American Museum of Natural History on Saturday, May 26, 2007. I have been invited to deliver a presentation, “Introduction to Cryptozoology,” in conjuntion with this exhibition, late next fall at the AMNH. Fun for the whole family, the new exhibition Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns, and Mermaids explores the anthropological origins and cultural significance of some of the world’s most enchanting mythological characters, such as dragons, griffins, mermaids, sea serpents, and unicorns. The exhibition features art and cultural objects, fossils, and eye-popping models from a 17-foot-long dragon to the legendary sea monster, the kraken, with massive [...]
Homophobus mysognistis xenophobus ignoramus
Why would someone use the above sign to throw homophobia my way? See below. Some rather stupid people haunt the world. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you can ignore what is happening all over the news these days, regarding the discussion of Don Imus’s outrageous remarks. Insensitive people even exist in Bigfoot studies. Perhaps they should be classified with the Latin name, Homophobus mysognistis xenophobus ignoramus for the homophobic, demeaning sexist, racist stupidity they give forth as if they know what they are talking about. The women of the Rutgers basketball team are the focus in this latest [...]
Spring Skiing for Bigfoot in Maine: Cryptozoo News Updates
Today is April 5th. It seems like it should be spring outside, right? Believe it or not, some people think that because I live in Maine, I’m a resident of Canada. I get strange emails. Truth is, on this Thursday I feel like I’m in the Himalayas. This morning there is about a foot of snow that fell overnight in Portland, Maine. Today is the opening day for the cryptid-named Portland Sea Dogs baseball team, but, of course, that event has to be postponed. So, back to thoughts of cryptozoology…. Humans may be dealing with incredibly unbelievable Easter/Passover skiing in [...]

Cryptomundo’s Ultimate CZ FAQs
(Click on image to see full size version, enhanced by shockbeton) Fans, friends, and readers of Cryptomundo, I have an idea that it might be good to have a permanent “Cryptomundo’s Frequently Asked Questions” location attached to the Cryptomundo site. Perhaps it would be via a long blog of answers, or series of blogs. Maybe it would be a hyperlinked sidebar dedicated location. I see this as a gift in return to all those who have done so much to keep my blogging alive here. Let me see if this will work. The details will be ironed out. But the [...]
