A long-time member of the Western Bigfoot Society (sometimes called the International Bigfoot Society) just emailed me that Ray Crowe is officially discontinuing his monthy meetings, and his long-time Bigfoot newsletter, The Track Record. It is well known that Ray has had a long battle with heart disease and diabetes, which is contributing to his decision. At this point, the future of the WBS and the The Track Record may be elusive, as the status of the 501(c)3 may now be in jeopardy or soon gone. Discussions by the membership are expected soon on how to continue Ray Crowe’s work [...]
Yahoo Picks Cryptomundo
The following is up and active on the Yahoo home page. Click on the direct link below noted at their “Cryptomundo” title for all of the hyperlinks Yahoo has added to the exchange. This is a direct copy of their interview, which they have given me permission to post. I added a few familiar Cryptomundo photos to keep your retro visual interests occupied.- LC Cryptomundo by Jon Brooks Early last year, we took a look at Cryptomundo, a site that scours the Web for news of “the most elusive and rare animals (cryptids) on this planet Earth.” Since then, sightings [...]
Your Thoughts On MonsterQuest?
Monster Quest or MonsterQuest (the production company spells it both ways) – or at least their first program – was on last night, Halloween. I missed it. I knew the program was on and told you all about it via Cryptomundo. But I missed it due to the fact I was on the radio during that exact hour (10-11 pm Eastern), talking about cryptozoology on the Brad Steiger Halloween Special on The Jeff Rense Radio Program. Someone mentioned on a yahoolist I was on the program. I can’t imagine my segment was long, as I only recall mentioning Champ a [...]
Mothman on Halloween
Jeff Rense and Brad Steiger wanted to talk a good deal about Mothman for Halloween on The Jeff Rense Show the eeeevvvvveeening of October 31, 2007. (Sorry, they were imitating vampires at the beginning of the show, and it sort of caught on.) Then after the program was over, I noticed this new posting about Mothman on Halloween. It’s a small world, isn’t it? Coming in 2008: Mothman: Evil Incarnate.
Sasquatch: A Love Story (Director’s Cut)
Need a cryptozoo comedy break? Sasquatch: A Love Story (PG) is very funny. This is obviously the Director’s Cut. Brought to you by the “University of British Columbia’s Department of Cryptozoology.” The Canadian jokes and accents are brutal. The complete video collection is here for your viewing enjoyment. It is written and directed by Tim Hall; music by Chris Elliott. Watch it through the credits, as they are worth it. A special message about Canadians is all the way at the end.

DarkLore Cometh!
One of the things that happened as I was finishing Bigfoot! (published in 2003) was that Ray Wallace died on November 26, 2002. I added some details, post-proofs, to my book, but there is much that can be said about what happened, after Wallace died. The entire landscape of Sasquatch studies was changing rapidly. Grover Krantz had died on February 14, 2002. I surprised many people because I was behind exposing what Wallace had done, and took to heart that Bigfoot research would be better off if we began looking closely at Wallace’s legacy. I’ve now written two examinations of [...]
Happy Halloween, Cryptomundians!
I know what a lot of you do. Your day sort of starts off slowly, or ends like Sloop in that other Portland. As he says: So, I’ve been bored at work and stumbled upon lots of weird websites, like Cryptomundo, Forgetomori…Sloop Research indicates 63% of you, that’s right, you, our audience, are regular visitors to this site. That’s encouraging. I’m glad we are saying enough here of interest to keep you coming back. How involved and visible are we? It appears someone coined a name to talk about us, obviously including you, the regulars, this week: Cryptomundians. A blogster [...]
MSNBC Video on Jacobs’ Creature
MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann has fun with the “Jacobs’ Creature” photos. He appears with Bob Kiviat, who produced the 1998 Fox program, “The World’s Greatest Hoaxes: Secrets Finally Revealed.” I discussed the shallowness of that attempt to overthrow the Patterson-Gimlin footage in my Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America. It should also be noted that Kiviat was the producer of one documentary on the Roswell alien autopsy film, and then another one in which he debunked his own documentary. With Kiviat and others lining up to support the Jacobs’ Creature being a “juvenile Sasquatch,” and Jeff Meldrum and I [...]
Identikit Used In Cryptozoology Discoveries
Drawings of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda) by artist Stephen Nash were used in Peru to rediscover the primate. The use of identikit illustrations in support of the cryptozoology method is demonstrated often. The objective is to discovery what is already ethnoknown, in terms of local wildlife. Drawings from scratch, under the direction of locals, are a source of primary information. But oftentimes, identikit materials are used in the field for gathering and fine-tuning visual information. Sometimes, if available, a photograph shown to local residents and indigenous peoples is successful in gathering more data on new animals. This is [...]
