Afghan Artillery and Baffling Barmanu
Jodi Magraner discusses the Barmanu and shows the drawings he had made of them from eyewitness accounts. In my modest effort to send some field guides and other books to the troops who are in harms’ way, a few shipments have gone out. Today, via a received email, I heard back from a soldier in an area known for some unknown hominoid activity and much more. Mark Langenkamp is stationed someplace in eastern Afghanistan. He writes: I got your book in the mail today! Thank you again for sending it. When I am done reading it, I will leave it [...]
Look for Palecek Looking for Bigfoot
The Sioux City Journal mentions a talk on January 11, 2007, by a Bigfoot cryptofiction and cryptopolitical writer. Author Mike Palecek of Sheldon, Iowa, will provide a reading from his most recent book, Looking for Bigfoot: A Novel for America, at 7 p.m. Thursday in Meis Recital Hall on the Briar Cliff University campus. Palecek, a peace activist and one-time candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, also will share selections from some of his other novels, including KGB, The Truth and Terror Nation. The author will sign copies of his books following the reading which is sponsored by the [...]
Never Stop Asking Nessie Questions
Before this bit of news gets too old, I want to mention the seemingly funny media mentions last week about tourists in Scotland asking silly questions. The media had a bit of laughter over some questions from visitors, and, of course, Nessie was right up there at the top. According to a Travel Connect article entitled “Tourists Ponder Loch Ness Monster’s Feeding Times,” the tourism agency VisitBritain compiled “some rather puzzling queries from befuddled travellers.” As the headline to their article gives away, one inquiry they highlight dealt directly with the topic: One such visitor was evidently unfamiliar with the [...]
“Crypto Zoologists” Don’t Exist
Theeggfarm has many poems on their site, here and there and all around. Allow me to share, if I might, which I much appreciate, one just found: Untitled #8 (For Crypto Zoologists) by hybrid If every creature Rumored but Unproven By Crypto Zoologists Were given a stewin’ I’d hazard a guess that my favorite meat Would be tender morsels Of mermaid feet In reply and in the same tone, let me pen my very own: Mermaids Have No Feet (Untitled #1) by Loren Coleman Eggfarm No harm You made us two Words as the who But we are together Which [...]
Wallace Fakes Revisited
Mark Hall has posted a review entitled "When Legends Meet Science" via his "Living Fossils" page at Wonders about Jeff Meldrum’s new book, Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. Dave Rubert photographs of the Ray Wallace fake Bigfoot footprint tools. One section of Mark Hall’s review discusses the Ray Wallace wooden fake track creations, and how the imprints made from them are still appearing in works by some Sasquatch researchers. Hall writes: [Jeff] Meldrum fails to recognize that the Ray Wallace fake imprints have become part of his database. For a professional claiming an expertise in the study of footprints, this lapse [...]
“Yeti” Photographed
The famed coelacanth researcher and dinofish.com site author Jerome Hamlin sends along the above photographs. Hamlin writes: Here’s a picture of a “Yeti” that approached our car at a gas station in India last April! I thought of you when I snapped it. I was quite impressed by the outfit and in the heat. I think his idea was to approach tourist cars for money. He’s worth it. I have him on video as well, making hissing growls. I was also surprised by the cultural influence. Many of these far away places have learned to parody themselves in situ! Our [...]
Cartoonist Ted Bastien Profiled
There is an excellent Bangor Daily News article, published on January 8, 2007, about Toronto-based cartoonist Ted Bastien and his comic strip, “Bugsport.” The strip is based loosely on Bucksport, Maine, and the town’s reportedly alien population. (Note to non-Mainers, when we say you are “from away” up here, we really mean it.) The article avoids mentioning Bugsport’s Bigfoot entirely, thus allowing it to remain an elusive cryptid. Indeed, the nice profile of Bastien does not mention his forays into cryptozoology at all. But we all know he draws comic cryptids in addition to his Studebaker-cloned spaceships and grays. (You [...]
Mystery Black Felid Photo: Identified
An update on the mystery black felid photograph (see various enhancements on this page) reveals some new information, which, in context, makes much sense. The picture was taken December 2005, according to the photographer’s letter shared with me last night by felid researcher Ben Willis. The photo was taken by a retired biology professor from a Georgia university, Dr. Edward Yeargers . Dr. Yeargers had seen the cat, which he identified as a black bobcat, “several times” in his yard. The location of his yard – Palm City, Florida. Palm City is located in Martin County, Florida. The professor wrote, [...]
