In the wake of the dramatic developments that the “johor hominid” photos are a hoax, many have forgotten that the foundation of the Malaysian Bigfoot reports remain intact. Here’s a report from Raymond Goh of the API, a sometimes rival, sometimes cooperative entity of the SPI and Vincent Chow. For the sake of balance, I thought it important to publish these thoughts, with Raymond’s permission, to get some insights into the API’s point of view. – Loren ———————————————————————— The sudden turn of events of the Johor hominid case has angered and disappointed many. Touted by a reputed Malaysia Nature Society [...]

Mr. Toh Seong Fai, 33, is the Vice-President of Singapore Paranormal Investigators (SPI).

French Police Hunt Mystery Black Felid
August 14, 2006 Boulogne-sur-mer, France • Scores of policemen, some armed with shotguns, are hunting a mysterious big black feline spotted in northern France, officers said. The operation was launched Wednesday near the town of Boulogne-sur-Mer after several panicked people first raised the alarm on seeing what they described as a “panther” about 1.2 metres long on a popular beach. Some 80 officers and a helicopter were immediately deployed on a search, and the beach was closed for a day, but they failed to find their quarry. Belgian tourists and residents then reported seeing the black beast on Friday, and [...]

Gator Roundup – Summer 2006
You’d think the Loch Ness Monster had shown up wearing a feather boa made out of ivory-billed woodpeckers and started beating hippie kayakers with the petrified corpse of a Bigfoot. – Mark Hinson, Tallahassee Democrat, August 13, 2006. The US government’s official map of incidents of out-of-place alligators. For more detailed information on locations and citations, click here. Please click on the map for fuller-sized version. You may recall on May 14th, 2006 (“Why Cryptozoology Is Interested In Alligator Sightings”, I predicted a summer of higher than normal reports of alligators being sighted and found.

Armadillo Sunrise
The nine-banded armadillo (above) is making inroads into the northern USA. Dasypus novemcinctus is most common in the central southern states, such as Texas, and abdundant in some parts of Florida. If you run into armadillos in Missouri or southern Illinois, they are not cryptids or out-of-place animals. They are animals that are extending their range northward. As has been noted here briefly before (regarding birds and alligators), cryptozoologists need to keep track of this topic, so as to make certain we don’t confuse these natural range changes for “new animals” or folks’ sightings of bizarre and seemingly new animals [...]

Of Manatees and Bigfoot
Autumn Williams put Whitehall on the television programming map. But what Bigfoot activity is happening there today? I’ve been gone for a few days, since Wednesday. I checked out the manatee situation in the Hudson River, New York. The big critter appears to have moved on, with no new sightings. But you never can tell. I had to go see for myself. I did not see a manatee but lots of the Hudson. At one spot, I crossed one of the most attractive suspension bridges in North America, the Mid-Hudson Bridge, and marveled at the vastness of the water below. [...]
A Montana Monster
A Montana Monster It Looks Like a Man and Eats Bears and Sheep. Some of the old time hunters and Indian fighters who are still holding out in the city should endeavor to find a wild eyed individual who came in from the mountains this morning. Whether he discovered a new brand of whisky or whether it was the lonliness [sic] of his life in the mountains that caused him to see visions and hear sounds is not known, but, whatever the cause, he had told a story that knocks Joe Klaffki’s ghost story, attested to by Jack Brennan, completely [...]
August 10th: Lake Champlain Sea Serpent Seen
This is the Champ painting that began showing up on the sides of U-Haul vans in 1999. August 10th… Vermont Get Into Line Its Sea Serpent Story, Though a Little Late, Is All Right. The Lake Champlain sea serpent has been seen.

The monster was seen, slowly swimming southward, about midway of the channel between the Vermont shore and Split Rock. The lake at this place is only about a mile wide. Here, too, [...]
