Why have there been no reviews of the June 6th broadcast of “Destination Truth,” which was hosted by Josh Gates? Where are the reviews? Did you see it? For me, it happened right in the middle of a week of activities that centered on my son’s awards assemblies and graduation, so I missed it. Did anyone watch it? The limited, six-episodes of the sixty-minute long series are being carried on the Sci-Fi Channel. It is executive produced by Neil and Michael Mandt for their Mandt Brothers Productions, whose credits include ESPN’s very popular “Jim Rome Is Burning” show. If you [...]

Watch Mr. Wizard No More
Many 1950s-1960s cryptozoologists were introduced to science on television, first and foremost, by Mr. Wizard. I am saddened to hear that he has passed away today. It is with deep sadness that we regret to inform you of the passing of Don Herbert – the one and only “Mr. Wizard”. Don lost his battle with cancer today, June 12, 2007, at 9 AM – slightly more than one month shy of his 90th birthday. He was lovingly surrounded by his family, who are at once, saddened by his passing, and relieved that he is no longer suffering. We all feel [...]
New Encounters with Mande Burung (Wild Jungle People)
If you look in my book, The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates (NY: Anomalist Books, 2006), you will find range maps for some of the types of hairy hominoids that the data gathers. Some have tried to revise these maps, for example, for the “Erectus Hominids,” by expanding the range into the vast outback desert of Australia or cutting back the range from more certain Asia. It does not really matter because new reports and discovered old cases will keep changing what people feel are the ranges of any of these hominoid cryptids. The reports will speak [...]
Making the Grade in a Plethora of Titles
Back in 1983, a few people did notice when the book above was published. Otherwise, it won’t be called a classic. Today, it’s good that at least one reviewer is enjoying it so much that he has given me a letter grade for the expanded, updated 2007 edition. When I was in school, I had mixed feelings about getting a high letter grade. What was the teacher trying to tell me? Was I almost perfect or didn’t I say what I wanted to say? Was I above average but not excellent? Was I pretty darned good, but need not get [...]
Six Rules of Bigfoot Research
Blake Mathys has been a Bigfoot researcher for decades, from his days of being in the woods of the Midwest, investigating as a kid growing up in Ohio. Currently, he is studying for his Ph. D. in wildlife biology. As I write this, he is presently on his sixth trip to Bermuda, collecting further data on the native birds from that island for his dissertation. Blake Mathys shares his following “Six Rules of Bigfoot Research” for feedback and critiques. Six Rules of Bigfoot Research The following “Six Rules of Bigfoot Research” are meant to improve the quality of the evidence [...]
New Mt. Hood Mystery Photo
Click on image for full size version As the code tells anyone, this photograph was taken on June 7, 2007, at 7:11 p.m. by the same people who have had some luck with pictures from this same location. What do you think this latest trailcam image shows? I have some ideas, but I don’t want to bias anyone’s looking at this with an open mind. Before this new photo, the one before showed a close encounter of the elk kind. See these below to compare with the new one above, and the original “Bigfoot mystery” photo (at the bottom), which, [...]
Beau Monde Bust of Bigfoot
Want to get your hands around this beautiful bewitching bust of Bigfoot? Looking for a gift for Father’s Day? For Graduation Day? For a birthday for that ultimate cryptozoologist-in-training? Or the unforgettable present for a June wedding or summer baby shower? You may wish to pick up one of these limited editions of the bust (they are solid, resin, and seven pounds heavy) of the Crookston Bigfoot? The same artist Curtis Christensen, who made the Crookston Bigfoot, decided to hand-craft a few busts, and hand-paint each one, making no two exactly alike. From this…Christensen with his creation… …to the Bigfoot [...]
Men of Cryptozoology: Chad Arment
Chad Arment (1972 – ) is the creator and moderator of the first specifically cryptozoology email list, founder of a publishing company, and author/editor/publisher of cryptozoology books. His interest in cryptozoology began in the fourth grade when he read Marian Place’s On the Track of Bigfoot (Dodd Mead, 1974). He casually studied the subject until high school, then began actively to investigate reports of unusual animals wherever he was living. Specific cryptids he has tracked include a mystery cougar, giant snakes, and an unknown hairy biped, all in Maryland, and a mystery cat in Ohio. Chad Arment self-published a pamphlet [...]
Mothman Tour Cancelled; Take Photo Quiz
The company, Haunted Heartland Tours, has cancelled their Mothman Prophecy Tour, scheduled for June 9-10, 2007. No reason is given for the cancellation. Perhaps there were not enough registrations? Or, hopefully, there’s not a sinister event behind the cancellation. Of course, since it was a “prophecy” event, they must have known this was going to happen. A new date will be set for 2008 late this year. Here is what was promised for the tour: See the site of the tragic Silver Bridge collapse Venture into the remote wilderness area where Mothman was 1st seen. We will venture here at [...]
