A breaking news item out of Wisconsin says a Bigfoot was seen grabbing a road-kill deer and hightailing into the woods with it. Details on that in a minute. One of the first eyewitness drawings of Momo. Wisconsin seems to have had some interesting Bigfoot reports in recent years. The one that happened yesterday, November 9th, 2006, may be extremely unique, but then the state has given us some of the most interesting eastern cases of the 21st century. Take, for instance, there’s the case of Mr. Hughes. Around 5:15 a.m on March 28, 2000, James Hughes was delivering the [...]
New Johor Bigfoot Track
For months, since November 2005, reports of the Johor Bigfoot issued from the rainforests of Malaysia. Cryptomundo even created a sorting category for them (see to the right of this column). Weekly updates and discussions ensued. Debates about the evidence raged. And then the horrible discovery was made that the “photographs” that supposedly existed were nothing more than extractions from a book about a television documentary on prehumans. But here we are, back in another November, and there’s news from Johor and new findings of footprints. The shape of the footprint, it must be admitted does look interesting, but as [...]
Shocking New Book: The Yowie
Click on the cover above to make the Yowie larger. The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot Wow! What a beautiful cover. If a book’s cover is a window to the content, you will not be disappointed. This is an earthshaking book. It’s big, it’s monumental, and it will surprise many people. I am an American, and as such, I have to admit that North Americans, specifically the general population and the media more than the readers here, tend to think egoistically that our Sasquatch was here first. The sense is that the files and legends of the rest of [...]
Dryopithecus, Skunk Apes, and Yeti
How long have people been talking about Dryopithecus as having some bearing on reports of unknown hominoids, those that appear to be more anthropoid than hominid? For over fifty years, it turns out. Personally, I’ve promoted them since the 1960s (see most recently Bigfoot!, pages 165-166) and I have talked of dryopithecines and their possible dissemination by slave ships for decades. My friends and associates have commented on my and others’ thoughts about this fossil candidate. In the wake of a photograph of what appears to be an ape, perhaps even a cryptid one, in Florida, discussion has occurred here [...]

Wanted: Your Bigfoot Documentary
It is time for you to dust off that independent documentary film that you made as a college project, or taped during your most recent weekend excursion. The makers of Sasquatch Mountain want to hear from you! Their DVD is due on January 23, 2007, and it is going to have a special section set aside for someone’s homegrown Bigfoot documentary project. In the meantime, I thought you all might wish to take a first look at the DVD cover (above) of Sasquatch Mountain. But back to this unique opportunity. Do you have a nonfiction short Bigfoot documentary film that [...]
Creature From the Black Lagoon Again
Boing Boing has a good new posting on the just-released Creature From the Black Lagoon novel. Cory Doctorow writes: "If you’re looking for a fun little paperback to take you away from your life for a couple hours, you need look no further." Perhaps we all will need this after the election is over today… As I’ve mentioned at Cryptomundo before, the original concept for the movie developed from the excitement in the early 1950s that surrounded the Comoros Islands (near Madagascar) discovery of a "living fossil," the coelacanth. After its initial find in 1938, and the eventual acceptance that [...]
Chimp Sighting = Skunk Ape?
For the actual photograph, see the new posting, “New Photo: Is It A Skunk Ape?“ What if Florida’s supposedly identified but uncaught and out-of-place “apes” are really unknown anthropoids, cryptids all? As I’ve said and written for years, the recent questionable testimonies and fake photographs by certain people of Pacific Northwest Bigfoot-styled hairy hominids (upright, 7-8 feet tall, human-like) in Florida, which are being called “Skunk Apes” probably have little to do with the actual “Skunk Apes” of the Sunshine State. Specifically, the traditional “Skunk Ape” sightings, ape-like footprint finds, and knuckle prints, mostly discussed from the 1940s through present, [...]
New Parrot Discovered
New parrot species found in Queensland 7th November 2006, 22:09 WST A veteran bird-watcher has discovered a new species of parrot in Queensland after a decade of searching. Queensland naturalist and wildlife cinematographer John Young has discovered the rare blue-fronted fig parrot in a rugged southern Queensland forest after an exhaustive search. The exact site of the finding has not been disclosed. Although Mr Young has known of the bird’s existence for 10 years, he only recently found evidence that the parrot differed from the endangered Coxen’s fig parrot that overlaps in range. Three fig parrots were known to occur [...]
