A Nebraska City despatch of Nov. 30th, says John Hoff, wood chopper, last Saturday night [November 26] stumbled over the form of a frightful and hideous-looking creature. He described it as undoubtedly of human form in face and body, but so frightfully deformed as to leave only a faint resemblance. The body, as far as he could observe, was entirely naked and black and rough. The head [had] the eyes almost protruding from their sockets, and fangs stood out from a horribly shaped mouth. In locomotion it used its feet, and what were undoubtedly its arms from the elbows to [...]
Giant Frog Sighting?
Chased By A Frog Six Feet Tall Marvelous Adventure of An Upholster of La Salle Steet Robert Oakley, an upholsterer, was found by an officer tearing La Salle street Chicago like a hunted deer. Oakley told Justice Richardson he had been pursued by a frog 6 feet tall, which croaked as loud as a peal of thunder and had eyes as large and fierce as searchlights. “I don’t care if I did violate an ordinance. I would violate every ordinance in the criminal code before I’d serve as a meal for any four-legged monster. Just think of it; the green-eyed [...]
Sounds of the “Thing”
The sea serpent[,] or “Thing,” was heard by others of the residents as well as by some of the cottagers, during his late re-appearance along the East shore [of the Clinton County, New York, peninsula that juts into Lake Champlain]. The sounds are described as peculiar, but whether they were made when the creature was disporting itself on the reef, or when he was “rolling up, tumbling up, any way to get up” on the shore, we are not informed. It is hoped that the editor of the Republican may sometime have the opportunity of examining the “Thing” at close [...]
New Rash of Mothman-Linked Deaths
I am sorry to report that details are just beginning to trickle in of a new wave of deaths and near-misses tied to the Mothman researchers, museum staff and festival people in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. (Click here for a historical overview of other similar deaths. For more on the logic behind making an openminded focus of this kind of data, see my extended comment below in response to some early critics of this specific blog.) Many of these people impacted have become friends in the last five years, so these incidents are becoming more difficult to note. However, it [...]
Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Footage: CZ’s Zapruder Film
The footage is to the Bigfoot branch (hominology) of cryptozoology what the Zapruder film is to the JFK assassination.Mysterious America Without a doubt the world’s most famous Bigfoot movie…The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates Thousands of miles of footprints. Hundreds of years of traditions. Scores and scores of close, first hand encounters. Then in 1967 the next piece of the puzzle fell into place– an actual filmed representation of what scared individuals had reported seeing . And it occurred before the era of video and digital cameras, and before the existence of consumer photo manipulation software like [...]

1977: Year Of The Creature
After I posted this morning’s blog “Flashback: Thirty Year Ago – South Dakota Bigfoot,”” about a Bigfoot flap taking place in 1977, Scott Maruna at The Anomalist commented: “Come to think of it, there were a lot of flaps going on that year.” Indeed, there were. The anniversary of the Dover Demon sightings (April 21-22, 1977) is rapidly approaching. On April 21, 2007, I’ll be a guest on the “Dover Demon” 30th Anniversary Special (“Dover Demon” is a chapter in Mysterious America), from 10 pm to Midnight, on the Eastern Spooky Southeast broadcast, on WBSM-AM, 1420 AM, New Bedford, Massachusetts.

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 [...]
Fed Nominee Has Bigfoot Links
Midtarsal Break, Photo Credit: Lyle Laverty, 1967. You’ve seen the photograph. It is one of the more famous single Bigfoot tracks, a print with a distinctive midtarsal break, as Jeff Meldrum terms it. A simple “photo by Lyle Laverty” is usually placed casually underneath it, acknowledging the credit line of this semi-public official who snapped the picture. Now, Laverty is in the news again, as an up-and-coming Bush political appointee to the Department of Interior. First some background on Laverty’s Bigfoot connections: In October 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin claimed to have captured on film a female Bigfoot retreating [...]
