Horse-headed Sea Serpent Seen
Published in a California newspaper: Sea Serpents Visits the Indians Up North Victoria [British Columbia], April 14. — Officials of the cabin station at Bamfield are speaking of the story that a sea serpent from forty to sixty feet long and with a head like a horse has been seen off the station. The cabin operators say, in letters to the local newspapers, that Indians had been telling of the existence of a sea serpent, but the stories were not credited. David Osborne, one of the officials, says that a week ago the animal was seen from the cable station [...]
1977: Year Of The Creature
After I posted this morning’s blog “Flashback: Thirty Year Ago – South Dakota Bigfoot,”” about a Bigfoot flap taking place in 1977, Scott Maruna at The Anomalist commented: “Come to think of it, there were a lot of flaps going on that year.” Indeed, there were. The anniversary of the Dover Demon sightings (April 21-22, 1977) is rapidly approaching. On April 21, 2007, I’ll be a guest on the “Dover Demon” 30th Anniversary Special (“Dover Demon” is a chapter in Mysterious America), from 10 pm to Midnight, on the Eastern Spooky Southeast broadcast, on WBSM-AM, 1420 AM, New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Flashback: Thirty Years Ago – South Dakota Bigfoot
Thanks to Scott McClean for sharing this item.
Homophobus mysognistis xenophobus ignoramus
Why would someone use the above sign to throw homophobia my way? See below. Some rather stupid people haunt the world. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you can ignore what is happening all over the news these days, regarding the discussion of Don Imus’s outrageous remarks. Insensitive people even exist in Bigfoot studies. Perhaps they should be classified with the Latin name, Homophobus mysognistis xenophobus ignoramus for the homophobic, demeaning sexist, racist stupidity they give forth as if they know what they are talking about. The women of the Rutgers basketball team are the focus in this latest [...]
Oglala Sioux Police Talk: Bigfoot Update
The Oglala Sioux Pine Ridge Reservation was the site last year and at the beginning of this one of several close encounters with what appeared to be a large Bigfoot (often called “Big Man”). Various individuals have contacted me, via backchannels, from the southern South Dakota area, with news of their Bigfoot. All wish to keep their identities guarded, due to their various positions within the community and their links to the law enforcement units operating there. Nevertheless, the time seems appropriate to share the new notes that are being sent, as they appear to have overlapping tidbits of confriming [...]
Laverty on Bigfoot Claims of Heironimous
Here’s additional information Roger Knights obtained from Lyle Laverty: Bob Heironimus’s Fake-Track Claim is Discredited by Filmsite Witness Lyle Laverty In June 2005 [Roger Knights] wrote: “It would have been irrational for Patterson to have made the footprints over a week in advance [as Bob Heironimus (BH) claimed], risking their discovery in the interim.” – Knights’ Amazon review of Long’s book I’ve now obtained a statement from a credible witness—who was accompanied by other witnesses—that no such tracks existed at the site the day before the filming. Here are the background and details: BH claimed Patterson & Gimlin faked the [...]
Fed Nominee Has Bigfoot Links
Midtarsal Break, Photo Credit: Lyle Laverty, 1967. You’ve seen the photograph. It is one of the more famous single Bigfoot tracks, a print with a distinctive midtarsal break, as Jeff Meldrum terms it. A simple “photo by Lyle Laverty” is usually placed casually underneath it, acknowledging the credit line of this semi-public official who snapped the picture. Now, Laverty is in the news again, as an up-and-coming Bush political appointee to the Department of Interior. First some background on Laverty’s Bigfoot connections: In October 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin claimed to have captured on film a female Bigfoot retreating [...]
New “Paddler” Photo Surfaces
A new photograph, above, has surfaced of Idaho’s Lake Monster, Paddler (specifically look at the right hand corner). And I do mean surfaced. This image was taken on March 29, 2007, from Grouse Mountain, Idaho, by The River Journal’s staff photographer Jay Mock and sent to Cryptomundo by “Surrealist Research Bureau” columnist Jody Forest. Obviously, then, Paddler is the real deal. Paddler, the Lake Pend Oreille Monster, does appear to exist. But is it merely a cover story for the use of Navy submarines or are submarine sightings being confused with actual lake monster accounts? In the early 1940s, near [...]
