If this was such an extraordinary image, why did the alleged photographer not show the back end of the primate and why did he keep it stored away for almost ten years? The photograph (above) of an alleged “Ameranthropoid ape” supposedly was taken in South America by François de Loys. It has a checkered history, and was used for proto-Nazi racist promotion in the late 1920s and early 1930s, despite the fact it is most certainly a spider monkey (below). Basically, two schools exist about this photo. 1) There are those that believe the François de Loys story and thus [...]
What Scientists Can Do: The Real Bigfoot
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 10: What Scientists Can Do, The Real Bigfoot, and Notes by Mark A. Hall What Scientists Can Do When scientists take up the study of Bigfoot reports, they might first rescue the neglected and misplaced bones already in museum collections. The field studies, so often considered to be science at work in the wild, need to be better prepared for than past efforts. Searching streams for tracks failed. Camping out and waiting for all the native wildlife to come to you has also failed. A lot of research should be done before [...]
Update: Bigfoot Is Back
New historical photographs of the former “Crookston Bigfoot” have been sent to me from the artist who created it. BTW, the big guy’s finally back home in Maine. The photo above is an image of the Bigfoot standing near the RBJ’s Restaurant in Crookston, Wisconsin, with the owner and her staff. As you can see, the Bigfoot actually was kept outside, and the nice effect of the wind blowing through its hair gave the beast an “alive” feeling. However, eventually, being inside, away from the harsh effects of the weather, seemed better for it as it grew older. As you [...]
Dog-Sized Toadzilla Captured
The Associated Press is reporting in breaking news dispatches this morning that the environmental group Frogwatch has found a toad the size of a small dog. They captured the 15-inch-long cane toad (Bufo marinus) during a raid on a pond outside the northern city of Darwin, Australia, late Monday, March 26, 2007. Frogwatch says the toad is the size of a football (they don’t identify what kind, but the Australian organization’s spokesperson is probably talking about what we Americans call a “soccer ball.”) The toad weighs 2 pounds, and is among the largest specimens ever captured in Australia, according to [...]
“We…evolved from larger breasts.”
The representation of an almasty based on some eyewitness reports. Everyone is talking about the new video out of British Columbia. Even “Page Six.” Here’s a snippet from today’s Canadian version of the gossip column: A new video has hit the web showing two brothers being caught off-guard by a dark humanoid creature in a forest near Tofino, B.C. Was it a Sasquatch? Was there any Kokanee nearby? The sightings still happen year after year. Fact or fiction? Page Six was out and about to ask folks if they believe there are Sasquatches e-like creatures — roaming undetected throughout the [...]
Primate Survivors & Fossils Found
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 9: Primate Survivors & Fossils Found by Mark A. Hall Primate Survivors Recognized at Last The Neo-Giants of the Pacific Northwest are one type of primate among several distinctly different primates that remain as elusive. To varying degrees they spread to different parts of the globe as part of the competition among advanced primates with intelligence superior to that of the recognized great apes. Paranthropus sp. image courtesy of skullsunlimited.com We are so familiar with animals like the gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans because they are not the brightest among our primate relatives.

Lake Champlain Thunderbird
The Lake Champlain Sea Serpent in “Feathery Form” Visits Elizabethtown Clinton County papers report that the Lake Champlain Sea Serpent was seen off Cumberland Head early last week. Reputable men who were returning from Plattsburgh to their home on Cumberland Head discovered the huge monster performing in the water and but a short distance from the shore. We quote the following lines from the Plattsburgh Sentinel of Sept. 21, 1894: “That it was a living monster of some kind, there is no room to doubt. Indeed, we have never seriously questioned the substantial accuracy of the numerous accounts of this [...]
The Tracks of the Sasquatch
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 8: The Tracks of the Sasquatch by Mark A. Hall The Tracks of the Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) The long history of the Sasquatch and Bigfoot indicates that mysterious giant footprints have always been rare in the mountains of the West. The long trails of footprints post-1958 have been planted by people. A few giant impressions have turned up that can be linked to the sightings of hairy giants. The creatures are smart enough that they seldom leave good impressions of their feet for people to find. They did not suddenly [...]
History Channel Visit
I’m taking a break from working with the History Channel crew that is here now. They are setting up the place for an interview with me to be shown on a forthcoming cryptozoology series. Lighting always takes more than people who haven’t gone through this can imagine. There’s the sunlight coming in from outside, the light bouncing off glass, the backlight, frontlight, right or left side shooting angle, and more. It does take awhile. They are working hard, but don’t want a soda. They are on task. The crew has been in Maine for a few days, taping interviews upstate, [...]
Sunday Comics: Crypto-Man Meets Mystery Man
It is a strange world when I see things like “My Comic Life” end up on Wikipedia and Boing Boing, frozen in cyberspace. Therefore, here is my update with hints of the upcoming adventures of Crypto-Man and a character based on me. Since it is Sunday in Singapore, the time is right for another irregular edition of my Crypto Sunday Comics, the early overnight edition. Back in November, writer/director Scott Marlowe announced that “Coleman Joins Cast” of the Peter Loh-drawn series “Crypto-Man” is loosely based on Marlowe. I am coming on board as “Mystery Man.” We thought that this casting [...]
