Is this photograph the “Mystery Animal” seen for decades in West Virginia’s Potomac Highlands? This picture was taken by an automatic digital camera set on private property in a 3000 acre wilderness in which no human inhabitants live. It was caught on film on August 8, 2006 at 0700 Hours. Since the original owners do not want to become embroiled in the heated Eastern Mountain Lion mystery debate, the Eastern Puma Research Network will be fielding all responses for this photograph. The EPRN can be reached via email at epuma [at] beaconnet [dot] net. Photograph courtesy of the initial West [...]
Baby Bigfoot Seller Writes In
Dominick Perez, the self-proclaimed Maine baby Bigfoot or Yarwen alleged poacher and alleged seller, writes in to Cryptomundo on Tuesday, 9/12/2006 at 5:24 PM: the article was funny, although the owner of [deleted] didn’t appreciate one of your lunatic readers blaring his car horn at 2 am and demanding to see the bigfoot for a half hour. i haven’t lived there in years the police were finally called and he’s won an all expense paid trip to the local jail. wether your readers believe or not is irrelevant. a wealthy individual now owns the beast, and i’m on easy street.

Sumatran Rhinos Are Living Fossils
Zoologist Darren Naish has written a thoughtful essay on “Are Sumatran Rhinos Really Living Fossil?” His blog is in response to my comments on the “living fossil” issue, discussed here. I disagree with Naish’s restrictive parameters, of course, as I see this more an issue of educational semantics influenced by zoology, not ruled by it. Darren Naish’s approach is worthy of your attention and he has every right to his very informed point of view. Needless to say, in this case, I was employing the “living fossil” definition that this rhino species is “a living species/clade with many ‘primitive’ characteristics [...]
New Bird Discovered in India
New Multicolored Bird Found in India September 12, 2006 A new bird species has been found in India, the first time such a discovery has been made here in more than 50 years, an astronomer and keen bird watcher said Tuesday. The multicolored bird (Bugun liocichla) was spotted in May 2006, in the remote Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary in India’s northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh near the border with China, said Ramana Athreya, a member of Mumbai’s Natural History Society. Athreya, who found the bird, named it after the Bugun tribe, which lives in the area. The bird has a black [...]
Flatwoods: September 12th
It looked worse than Frankenstein. It couldn’t have been human. Kathleen May. The smell was like oil on hot metal. You know, that greasy, sweet, slippery odor, slightly burnt and perhaps even appealing. But then more and more of it seemed to be saturating the molecules all around. It filled your nose. It permeated your pores. It made you sick to your stomach. It wouldn’t go away. The creepy feeling was close, something beyond the knowing, beyond understanding. The dog was sick; the boys ran down the hill. In two days, the dog was dead, and no one thereabouts would [...]
9/11 Creature
On the night of September 11, 1997, Ines Valdivieza and her 6-year-old daughter observed a small creature, brown in color with large red eyes, run from a pig-pen area in Colonia Revolucion Mexicana, Mexico. It made high bounding strides and disappeared into the dark. Five hogs were later found dead, completely drained of blood with strange scars on their necks. Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database, 1997, citing Pascual Rolando Pacheco Herrera.
$17 Million For Baby Bigfoot
Have you heard that the young Bigfoot caught in Maine has been sold to a mystery buyer for $17 million dollars? Don’t laugh. Yet. That’s what I’m being told has happened. When a Vegas casino or secret international corporation announces they have a baby Bigfoot in the near future, I don’t want anyone to say they weren’t informed here first! The capture and transportation of a baby Bigfoot (a/k/a "Yarwen" – whatever that is) would not have been an easy activity to accomplish. Above is part of the relocation, imagined, comically but sadly, by Peter Loh. Okay, okay, your credulity [...]
9/11: How It Impacted Us
It is merely a good time to pause a moment from chasing cryptids to reflect on what happened.
Sasquatch Mountain Thank You
Here’s a message to Cryptomundo viewers, from the writer/actor/producer behind the just broadcast Bigfoot narrative fiction seen on the Sci-Fi Channel the night of September 9, 2006. Loren, the work that you and people like you do in “The World Of The Highly Un-researched” is a blessing to us filmmakers in many ways. Much like the western genre, Cryptozoology is an area that borders on myth and reality at the same time and generates so much intrigue and possibility that it makes the storytelling almost automatic. As an actor/director/writer I find so much drama, conflict and passion (all areas of [...]
Irwin’s Missing Thylacine Footage
The only known image of Steve Irwin from 2.07. I’ve been challenged by critics that say Steve Irwin never looked for the Thylacine. Here’s more evidence that he did. As I wrote early after Steve Irwin was killed by a stringray, he apparently devoted an episode of "The Crocodile Hunter" to his search for the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger. There was furthermore a rumor that he might have captured an elusive, supposedly extinct Thylacine on videotape during the making of that episode. But, for whatever reason, the blurry footage was never broadcast. Or was it? Irwin’s link to the Thylacine [...]
