Almost exactly one year ago, Jon-Erik Beckjord reported he had cancer. He’s broadcasting an update. Jon-Erik Beckjord has posted the following on his forum: My enemies will rejoice. It comes to us all. To some earlier; to some later. Like Rene Dahinden, I have advanced prostate cancer and it has advanced to the bones. I was warned on the Lummi Indian Reservation that if you see Bigfoot/Sasquatch too often, it is a sign they are taking you to them, to join them…Roger Patterson got the best Bigfoot movie of all time, 58 sec, and within four years passed on with [...]
Aetosaurs Wars
Wow, if you thought there were fights in Nessie studies and feuds among Bigfooters, you should pull the curtain aside in the serious world of paleontology sometime. Actually, you don’t have to, as Nature did it for you. Paleontology research assistant and fossil preprator ReBecca Hunt, pictured above, notes in her blog that “name-calling” is happening, quite openly, within the field of Aetosaurs studies, as evidenced by an article published today in Nature. “Doctoral students in the United States and Poland are accusing scientists at the Albuquerque-based New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNHS) of publishing articles that [...]
Martian Bigfoot: Updates
Well, it was only a matter of time before wicked smart people figured this one out. Ben Radford passes the following along: Meanwhile, over at Jojas.com, they are publishing these (and other) photo explanations for the Bigfoot on Mars: Perhaps Photoshopping the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot would have had the same results? Finally, if you want to go see the CNN “Anderson Cooper 360″ report from Bigfoot comedy star Scott Herriott, go bring up the video here. Hopefully there will be some real cryptozoology news real soon!!
Ledger’s Lafayette & Seely’s Sasquatch
Musing on the Twilight Language. Sometimes, I must blog about the Fortean and the anomalistic, as it applies to current events. I need to move these thoughts along, so for those looking for something strictly zoological or cryptozoological, you might wish to skip this one. For those who allow yourself to go down this path with me, here goes…. This morning Craig posted news items on reports of Bigfoot or Sasquatch being tracked in Wisconsin. One aspect of the story that may have whizzed by you is the twilight language; the name game is part of the account. Did you [...]
Bigfoot Stomps Into 2008 Campaign
According to the Associated Press, Bill Clinton speaking in Macon, Georgia, on Monday, January 21, 2008, played the cryptozoology card! The AP is reporting: “Bill Clinton doesn’t want to become the White House’s Sasquatch.” The news service noted the former president says it would be a mistake for him to have a specific job if he were to return to Washington D.C. with a new Clinton administration. In remarks to reporters, Clinton said: I’d be like the Abominable Snowman. I’d be Bigfooting everybody even if I tried not to. There’s almost no way you can avoid that. Whatever I do [...]
Nazis & The Search for Yeti
Heinrich Harrer in Tibet. I got to first thinking about Nazis, Tibet, and Yeti, three years ago, when I heard that famed mountaineer Heinrich Harrer, 93, died on January 7, 2005. The entire story does feel like it is straight out of Indiana Jones, of course. Movies are often a point of reference, needless to say. Harrer was portrayed by Brad Pitt in Seven Years in Tibet, a 1997 movie based on Harrer’s 1953 nonfiction memoir with the same title. But sometimes the movies leave out the best parts. Harrer’s interest in what today we mostly know as the lore [...]
Dhaliwal: “We Yelled & Waved At Tiger.”
South Africa’s News 24, via reports from San Francisco, shared the following summary late on January 18, 2008. One of the three victims of the San Francisco Zoo tiger attack was intoxicated and admitted standing atop a railing of the big cat enclosure and yelling and waving at the animal that would later maul them, killing his friend, police said in court documents. Paul Dhaliwal, 19, told the father of Carlos Sousa Jr, 17, who was killed, that the three yelled and waved at the tiger but insisted they never threw anything into its pen to provoke the cat, according [...]
Yeti Hunter Sir Edmund Hillary Dies
Sir Edmund Hillary, one of the first two men to climb the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, has died at the age of 88, on January 11, 2008, local New Zealand time.

Giant Monkey of New Hampshire
As the voters go to the polls in New Hampshire, it is a good time to pause and recall the “Giant Monkey” of Danville, New Hampshire. Have you heard about it? On September 9, a few years ago, in rural Danville, New Hampshire, search parties were engaged in looking for a Giant Monkey spotted near Pleasant Street and Kingston Road. During a period of the previous two weeks, at least ten cryptid Giant Monkey sightings were reported to local authorities. Danville Fire Chief David Kimball was among the first to see the cryptid running across Kingston Road. Others, like Pleasant [...]
The Mothman Waffle Fry
Correspondent Scott Foy sends along the above photograph for sharing at Cryptomundo, and the following detailed enjoyable document about his found mysterious object: I don’t know if you guys could care one way or another but I figured if nothing else this might give everyone a good laugh. It’s not everyday one has an edible encounter with a cryptid. Last week I was running late to work and decided to pop into Chick-Fil-A to grab a quick meal to bring with me. I get to work and start munching away on my chicken strips and fries combo when I came [...]
