In 2002, this was labeled as a frame of film showing Elna Wallace reportedly inside this Bigfoot suit, or did a photo editor mixed up the old Ray Wallace footage with the old Ivan Marx fake Bigfoot footage to talk about the Patterson-Gimlin film? Of course, this was not the first time that newspapers confused their Bigfoot films, now was it? Mark Hall notes in his overview published here today, that in 2002, I brought to the attention of the Bigfoot community the media’s poor unfolding of Ray Wallace’s history. I stated especially newspapers were totally confusing the Wallace family’s [...]
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks
During the next ten days, I will be sharing Mark A. Hall comprehensive contribution, “The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks,” which completes the triad of his treatments detailing his examination of North American unknown hairy hominoid footprints in the context of the Ray Wallace hoaxes. The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 1: Introduction by Mark A. Hall As the new year of 2003 began, there was a welcome shift away from the excesses in newspaper reporting on Bigfoot that the USA experienced in December of 2002. The Denver (Colorado) Post in its issue for 5 January 2003 [...]
Update: New Clouded Leopard
Of course, the media has gone wild and over-reached a bit in highlighting the “new species” discovery of the Borneo/Sumatra clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) as such a remarkable find in many news articles. Indeed, the cat was there all the time, and has been “in the books” for 184 years. Of course, as has been mentioned within previous comments, I first talked about the reclassification of the two clouded leopards via this blog, on December 15, 2006, here: “Clouded Leopards: Two Species.” It is exciting to find something that’s been under our noses all the time, but let’s be realistic [...]
Eastern Puma Survey Media Analysis
A copyright-free image of the cougar from Webster’s New International Dictionary of the English Language, 1911. Do eastern pumas exist? Are they an endangered species? Should these “ghost cats” be removed from the endangered species list? Are the eastern subspecies actually different from the western subspecies? These are a few of the questions that the United States federal government will answer by the end of the year, they promise. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service announced some time ago it is formally reviewing the status of the eastern mountain lion to determine if the felid should stay on the [...]
Southern Bigfoot, Sex, Orgone & Trailers
Double-entendre: A word or phrase having a double meaning; the use of such a word or phrase. Here’s my double-entendre for the month: trailers. Below is the video trailer to the forthcoming documentary by writer/director Sean Whitley, Southern Fried Bigfoot. As a trailer, you will note it does not have CG identifications of the people being interviewed. But I have a feeling many of you will know who all of these guys being interviewed are. Trailers are teasers to encourage people to come watch the whole film. I think you will be intrigued by what you see. Within this trailer, [...]
New Debate Over Luneau Footage
You knew it was going to happen. The debate about the ivory-billed woodpecker’s re-discovery has boiled over to the frame by frame analyses, con and pro, of the 2004 Arkansas video on a level comparable to that we’ve seen with the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage. In the journal BMC Biology on March 13, 2007, the latest is a discussion of the frame by frame analysis of what has become known as the Luneau video by a Scottish scientist Martin Collinson. Collinson just is not buying the fact that the ivory-billed woodpecker has been found. He thinks the video is of another [...]
Kill Or No Kill?
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.
Bigfooters’ Wallace Problem
Mark A. Hall has written extensively on the question of Ray Wallace and his “footcasts.” The following 2003 article from his journal, Wonders is merely one of a number of such examinations, the most recent of which was published last year. Used by permission. The Bigfoot Community’s Wallace Problem by Mark A. Hall © 2003 The seekers of Bigfoot in the North American West have been unable to put the Wallace Problem behind them. At the end of 2002 the time had arrived to accept the meaning of the fake feet possessed by the heirs of Ray Wallace, a wealthy [...]
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 [...]
Honshu Wolf Survival?
The world’s smallest variety of wolf, the Japanese wolf, also called the Honshu Wolf (Canis lupus hodophilax), supposedly became extinct in 1905 in Nara prefecture. But did some survive beyond that date? And was there physical proof of this, in 1910 in Fukui prefecture? Sightings of the Japanese wolf persist to the present. A new debate is occurring currently in Japan that the extinction date may have been incorrect, almost immediately. Intriguingly, finding a taxidermy example of the Honshu Wolf presently is quite difficult. Only five mounted specimens are known worldwide, three in Japan, one in the Netherlands (which is [...]
