Don Getty, River Otters, Grand Tetons. Used with full permission of Mr. Getty. The photograph does not, however, appear in Ben’s and Joe’s book from last year. Would it have helped lessened the blow of this review against their flank? One would expect that the respected Journal of Folklore Reseach at Indiana University would come down on the side of Benjamin Radford’s and Joe Nickell’s recent skeptical book, Lake Monster Mysteries: Investigating the World’s Most Elusive Creatures. It turns out it didn’t work out that way, and the journal, instead, found the book had shortcomings. Did Ben and Joe receive [...]
M. K. Transfers Bigfoot Analysis Files to Patterson Widow
M. K. Davis has informed me that he has passed the “rights” to all his files to the film footage taken at Bluff Creek, California, on October 20, 1967, to Mrs. Roger Patterson. He appears to be talking especially about enhancement footage (see below) made from Rick Noll’s enlarged frame by frame photos, which are all over YouTube and in various documentaries produced in the recent past. How are such rights transfered after the permissions have been given? Needless to say, Rick Noll and others have raised questions about permissions being granted by Mrs. Patterson for analyses, which were assumed [...]
New Easterville Cree Bigfoot Video
Here’s a new YouTube Bigfoot video. A YouTube viewer says the men are speaking Cree, and the translation of what they are saying is: “There’s someone standing here boy”…(another speaking) “it looks big”….”can you see it boy?”…”it’s kinda far away.” Easterville is a First Nations community in Manitoba. The following is the only info on the site. See below the video for more historical insights. My nephew & his buds seen & captured this bigfoot on their camera phone…it didn’t even notice them approaching cause of the wind…very interesting….cooldude311 The damning (I know, they created a “dam” but you get [...]
Flash Frozen? Siberian Baby Raises Old Questions
Fifty years ago, Bernard Heuvelmans collected and published reports of modern sightings of supposedly extinct mammoths seen alive today, in the boreal forests of Siberia. Thoughts that mammoths had survived probably stemmed from finds of extremely fresh specimens thawing out of the tundra’s permafrost. Two questions, one cryptozoological and the other Fortean, nevertheless, are raised whenever there is new talk of such discoveries: (1) Did these mammoths live during contemporary times with modern humans, as discussed by Heuvelmans and others? (2) Were they frozen in a quick “flash freeze” incident, as first noted by Ivan T. Sanderson? In Sanderson’s 1960 [...]
Sasquatch Maximus
Many may tire of viewing this footage during this, its 40th year. But it remains my favorite Bigfoot film, for every time I look at it, I ponder the wonder of a hominoid that may be there, right before our eyes. What are your top three reasons for considering this the best piece of evidence for Bigfoot existence? And if a skeptic, what are your top three reasons for feeling the opposite? So, what was someone saying about the gluteus maximus looking stranger than the mammary glands? Will new attention to this film reveal new insights in 2007?

Recent New Species in Pictures
Sometimes a “new species” to the media is one only new to the area and/or out-of-place… Squacco Heron. Humboldt Penguin. Infrequently, a new species is a surprising discovery, unique to zoology… Eleutherodactylus Frog. Atelopus Frog.
Mapinguary Madness
On July 9th, from NBC’s Today Show to worldwide news service rewrites of the Sunday New York Times article, this all is keeping this new Mapinguary mania alive. And we all thought the interest in this creature was dead a decade ago. Sadly, the articles being spread from the UPI are often headlined with this one, “Numerous Tribes See Brazillian ‘Bigfoot’,” but then open with comments on the locals “have spoken throughout the years of seeing a giant, fearsome, slothlike creature that roams the rainforest.” The articles are going with the Bigfoot/primate headlines, but talking only about the giant ground [...]
BFRO: “Come Along With Us” For $300*
Cryptomundo reader Chris Noel, who enjoys pointing out typos posted on the blog that need corrections, has put together a travel commercial for the BFRO expeditions. The short video, with no title or words on screen, is simply explained as “Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization–Public Expeditions. www.bfro.net” at the YouTube site. You can view it below. But why just passively watch it? Why not dissect it? I was wondering, how might a seasoned old professor of documentary film introduce this footage to his students, before showing it to them for a critical deconstruction? Perhaps it would go something like this: Now [...]
