First Xenoglaux Seen Alive In Wild
American Bird Conservancy is reporting the first live sighting a few weeks ago of what is “considered a holy grail of South American ornithology,” Xenoglaux loweryi. Commonly called the long-whiskered owlet – alone in its own genus Xenoglaux, meaning “strange owl” – it was first discovered in 1976. Researchers have caught a few specimens in nets after dark but had not seen it in nature, until was spotted in February in a northern Peruvian rainforest.

Tools for Hoaxing
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks, Part 5: Tools for Hoaxing by Mark A. Hall
Do Cellphones Advance Cryptid Photography?
Remember what people said when little cameras showed up on mobile telephones? The notion was that with so many digital cameras out there on cellphones, there would be more chances to capture cryptids photograhically and visually, thus adding a new level of technology to the quest. Okay, for all those folks that wanted to have more cryptid photo images taken by cellphones, here, above, is what you get! As I walked out the door I thought “hang on a minute”. It looked like a cat but it was a lot bigger. It was definitely a cat. It walked like one [...]
Stories of Pranks
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 4: Stories of Pranks by Mark A. Hall Stories of Pranks Northern California is a setting akin to British Columbia. It is a land of forested mountains where something the size of Bigfoot could be living. The American Indians had stories of the Oh-Mah and the Tok-Mussis which they largely kept to themselves until a news sensation in 1958 brought to public awareness the topics of immense footprints and hairy giants. Against this background, the prank of leaving false footprints for others to find has been rumored going back nearly to 1924. [...]

Hoaxing
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 3: Hoaxing by Mark A. Hall Hoaxing Serious writers on the subject of Bigfoot have included the topic of hoaxing in their works. They have acknowledged the existence of bad information that must be sorted from the good to find the valid traces of Bigfoot. My first treatment of hoaxes appeared back in 1979 when I discussed what were popularly labeled “Bigfoot reports” made in Iowa from 1975 to 1978. [14] The finding that some hoaxing of tracks was occurring along with genuine tracks has since been supported by the recollections of [...]
Badboy Beckjord Hangs Up
Well, early reports are that last night’s Squatchdetective Radio show was apparently a classic, alright. An absolute classic mess. Here’s a couple quick reactions posted today, followed up with emails, and reproduced here with the permission of the comment makers. It started an hour late. All I can say is, what a shame.
