I’ve spent some time here discussing melanistic or black squirrels. It seems only logical, perhaps even nuts, to not ignore the significant publishing of an article in today’s New York Times regarding some squirrel lore that can be seen to unfold in the coming weeks. What is being set up is a testable experiment. If a scholar of Norse mythology had been in the stands of Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night, he or she probably would have advised Yankees fans to not make too much out of the 5-3 victory against the Red Sox. The result, after all, still left [...]
Sasquatch News
This actually is fairly well-done, showing a “new video” from an entirely different point of view. It’s funny too.
Dueling Mothmen
This first item is a new 2007 Mothman plush toy created for this year’s Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant. How do you think it stands up against other recent toys, figurines, and items produced as Mothman collectibles? Can you identify the source and origins of each? I’m on the road during the next few days, offline, and have left several historical archival items to be posted. If I return and discover that no one has correctly identified where all the above are from, I’ll blog about those needing further info. Have a good long complete last weekend of the psychological [...]
Another Cryptotat
Sent in by Tommy, who emails: “I have a tat of the Boggy Creek Creature nestled in my horror movie sleeves. The Patty backpiece is measured, and in the works.” Travel back to the original “Cryptotat” blog here.
Cryptotat
Is this the ultimate “Cryptozoology” fan and the world’s only known sighting of a cryptotat!? Who is this dude? Unlike the elusive cryptids around us, this phantom with the Cryptozoology love tattoo was photographed by the quick-eyed R. Stevens at a comic show in Toronto this past weekend. Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing showed it to me first late last night, and I contacted R. Stevens for permission to post it here. Xeni’s going to do her own blog on this today at Boing Boing, but I have to honor this here too. Is it perhaps the only cryptotat known? [...]
Proof: New CZ Comic Book
[Press Release] The Proof is Out There Our world gets weird this October! What bumps in the night comes to light this October in Image’s newest ongoing series, Proof, courtesy of Alex Grecian and Riley Rossmo. “Our lead, FBI Agent Ginger Brown, is an ‘every woman’ forced into a world usually seen in [a tabloid] and ‘X-Files,’” says Grecian. “The Loch Ness Monster, Mothman and her new partner, Bigfoot, prove to be much more than folklore. Proof kicks off with Agent Brown reluctantly accepting how warped her life has become. However, she quickly finds out that’s merely the beginning. Things [...]

Skinwalkers
One of Linda Godfrey’s illustrations of you-know-what. The movie Skinwalkers opens today, so it might be time to learn more about Skinwalkers: What Are They?, from The Daily Grail. “The Best Fortean Cryptozoology Book of 2005″ picked here at Cryptomundo was Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah by Colm A. Kelleher and George Knapp. Kelleher and Knapp are the authors of the Skinwalkers item at TDG. I first wrote about Skinwalkers in 1975, in Creatures of the Other Edge, on pages 109-111. “They go very fast,” the Diné man told anthropologist William [...]
See Monster
The sea is the best field for data. – Charles Fort. Okay, in celebration of today – August 7th – being the official “Sea Serpent Day” – here above is a humorous take on the events of the next 24 hours from cartoonist Charles Berlin, creator of the world explorer character Professor Wexler. M.T. Anderson’s “Serpent Came to Gloucester” (Candlewick, 2005) recounts in rhyming verse the early-19th-century sighting of a mysterious sea serpent off the coast of Gloucester. Inspired by real-life reports, Anderson writes from the perspective of a boy who witnesses the creature’s visitations and is secretly pleased when [...]
