Would you kill a Bigfoot, if you got the chance? The cover illustration by Dick Klyver is of Homo floresiensis, a Proto-Pygmy, on the front of The Field Guide of Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates, 2006.
Rods, Please!
Sorry, I don’t find anything remotely cryptozoologically about these so-called mystery flying things and I actually find them somewhat of a nuisance, as they have been debunked often. But people keep wanting to discuss them within a cryptid context. Here’s the latest one for today: Rods And Skyfish.
Next?
Where do you think the next big discovery in cryptozoology will be? On the land? Or in the sea?
Paul Cropper on Springbrook Yowie
Australian cryptozoologist Paul Cropper, co-author of The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot offers his take on the comments here on Cryptomundo regarding the Springbrook Yowie earlier post. This is Paul Cropper, co-author of the Yowie book. It’s no stunt. Firstly, the article author, journalist Gabrielle Dunlevey of the Gold Coast Bulletin, contacted us about a week and a half ago about the reports. We didn’t call her. Here’s a quote from her email to us: “Hi Paul and Tony. I was hunting around for stories at Springbrook today, and learned about the recent release of your book from Andre [...]
The Bigfoot Chronicles
Michelle Souliere of Strange Maine tipped me off to the following production that opens tonight here in Portland, ME. The Bigfoot Chronicles It is the Fall of 1977. Cap Conner, experienced explorer of the unknown, leads his eight member team into the California woods in search of Bigfoot. Events arise during the expedition that cause the team to doubt that they’re tracking a simple beast, and call into question the very nature of reality. It’s coming…. Running Over Productions’ latest play: The Bigfoot Chronicles In the woods, everyone can hear you scream. Performances will be at the Presumpscot Grange Hall [...]
Meldrum Tapdances
In the current issue of TAPS Paramagazine on newsstands now and via mail (you can click on the ad to the right), you will find a new “Q and A” session with Dr. Jeff Meldrum about Bigfoot. Yes, I have the cover article on Sea Serpents plus a list-column on New England Lake Monsters, but what I wanted to really mention was the Meldrum article. I only learned about it after my issue came recently. Meldrum, of course, doesn’t “tapdance” in the traditional negative meaning, i.e. that he is avoiding topics. He dances about in fine form, as in cutting-a-rug [...]
The Outer Edge
Just to answer a question about my first two books, The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, with Jerome Clark, yes, they have been republished. And yes, they reflect our youthful theories, long thrown overboard. But the reports, sightings, and some connections still ring true, decades later. First appearing in 1975 and 1978, these two paperbacks were published in 2006, as a special double edition with a new introduction. The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge: The Early Works of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman is a combined quality paperbound book from Anomalist Books. The Unidentified has intriguing, [...]
Mothman, Garuda and Indonesian Air Crash
When discussing the strange episodes of interactions between humans and that winged weirdie seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966-1967, John A. Keel didn’t carry around in his head the psychological icon of Mothman, which, of course, didn’t exist yet. No, his concept of what was the source of the foreboding and tragedy was much more ancient. A detail often forgotten is that John A. Keel’s The Mothman Prophecies was initially to be entitled The Year of the Garuda. The title Keel wanted was his way to connect the ancient Indian legends of the Garuda, an unknown flying cryptid, [...]
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 [...]
Springbrook Yowie Is Back!
There’s news from the Gold Coast Bulletin in Queensland, for March 2007, of breaking Yowie activity. Paul Cropper sends along the full story, available if you click on the above image. For more on the past Springbrook Yowie sightings and footprint finds, please see The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot by Tony Healy and Paul Cropper.
