As mentioned here, the group the Seekers decided to sell their often-photographed Johor Bigfoot footcast (pictured in situ above and, as frequently recalled, immediately below). I have learned their recent starting bid was $30,000US. That was beyond what most people can afford, and their Malaysian eBay auction ended on September 27th with no bids. All the "new" news about the cast reminded me that the identity of the woman (above) next to the cast should be tied down. Despite attempts to resolve the question of her name this week, she was misidentified by some informants as Adeek. Her identity is [...]

Mystery Cryptozoologist Photo
Due to dogged diligence, indepth investigative inquiries, and long hours in pursue of the truth, Cryptomundo brings you today the identity of the mystery cryptozoologist pictured all year by the North American media, next to the now famous Johor Bigfoot cast. You remember the photo, shown above? The cast was found in February 2006, at Kampung Temenin Lama, Kota Tinggi. This specific image of the track cast shows a curious individual pointing out this piece of alleged Bigfoot evidence found by the Seekers, SPI, and the Sci-Fi filmmakers. She was not identified in the media reports at the time. But [...]
Creature From The Black Lagoon
There is a new cryptofiction novel, Creature From The Black Lagoon: Time’s Black Lagoon. Book Description In 1954, an expedition found what seemed to be a missing link in the evolutionary chain: an ancient, immensely powerful amphibian creature. Scientists tried to tame it, break its will, and even change its very being with surgery and torture, but the beast rebelled, killing nearly all in its way. But was the creature truly a throwback, a freak survivor of some prehistoric era — or was it something more? Six decades later, one scientist attempts to find out, using a time machine to [...]
Bigfoot vs Mummy
Will the above “mummy” displace efforts to seriously study the “Johor Bigfoot”? As previously mentioned here, the group the Seekers have decided to sell the oft-photographed Johor Bigfoot footcast (see below). The cast is the one that Joshua Gates, the host of the Sci-Fi Channel’s Destination: Truth, and his producer Neil Mandt were filming in Johor, last February. Their reality program does not seem to be on the fall schedule, however. Syed Abdullah (left) and Dr. Kenny Fong with the Singapore-based group, SPI, are shown above with the cast. The importance of this cast to the Seekers has waded. That [...]
Brunei Bigfoot Trackway Photo
In an earlier blog, Liew Kim San’s discovery of unknown tracks was mentioned here. The prints were said to have been found along the Andulau forest area in Labi, Brunei, which according to Liew Kim San (“Kim”), the footprints “do not resemble human or animal footprints.” (I would hope that this is a mistranslation, as obviously, if they are tracks of an Earth species, they must be an animal’s, as we are not talking about a robot here, folks.) Kim says the footprints are too wide to be that of humans. Photo shows the track of footprints leading towards the [...]
The Search for Giant Woodpeckers
Are folks still interested in the search for the world’s biggest woodpeckers, the Ivory-billed and the Imperial Woodpeckers? According to reports being published on September 26, 2006, and summarized in the Mobile, Alabama Press-Register, a haven for ivory-billed woodpeckers has been discovered in Florida. Auburn University researchers published evidence today of what some are describing as an ivory-bill woodpecker “Shangri-La” in the Florida Panhandle, a couple of hours east of Mobile. Researchers said they’ve had 13 sightings of the ivory bill, long thought to be extinct, and have recorded some 300 distinctive calls and sounds associated with the giant woodpecker, [...]
Animals of Discovery
Intriguingly, the Toronto Star’s Rick Sznajder compiled and published a list on September 26, 2006, of animals, which were thought once extinct and rediscovered in recent years. These species are available in several books, of course, but it’s fun to see someone in the media highlighting these “animals of discovery.” Here’s Sznajder’s list: Northern bald ibis rediscovered in Syria in 2002. Giant Palouse earthworm, last seen in 1987, rediscovered 2006. Found along the Washington-Idaho border. Laotian rock rat, believed extinct for 11 million years, first seen by a western scientist in 2005. Chinese crested tern, thought extinct from 1937 to [...]
Brunei Bigfoot
Bru Direct, Brunei Darussalam September 26, 2006 Bigfoot In Brunei? By Liza Mohd Bandar Seri Begawan – Bring on the cryptozoologists. The Bigfoot has left the jungles of Johor to the allure of Brunei’s Labi, or so it seems. A Sungai Liang resident has discovered several strange footprints along the Andulau forest area in Labi, which according to him do not resemble human or animal footprints. Liew Kim San, 34, a permanent resident, said the footprints could be of an unknown wildlife while most of his Than friends speculated that it could be that of a forest genie, which they believe [...]
Mermaid Photos Again
Today, Cryptomundo has received more emails telling us that strange and mysterious Mermaid photos supposedly snapped in Mexico, Dominican Republic, or Malaysia are circulating on the Internet. These emails are asking for us to either identify the “Mermaid” or post the photographs on Cryptomundo. But we have already done this. As I mentioned a few days ago when I published several of the photos here, these images are of a taxidermy fake. The object pictured is a piece of art from American Juan Cabana, who is well-known for his smaller fake Feejee Mermaids. It probably was photographed from various angles [...]
