It looks like there’s been some candidates, so this search is over, at The Anomalist, for now. Thank you. However, in a few days, I may be more formally asking for unpaid interns or volunteers to assist me with the next and future phases of the Portland, Maine-based International Cryptozoology Museum, in which you can have a chance to work closely with me. In the meantime, if you are a Maine-located go-getter, please write me at lcoleman at maine.rr.com to begin an email exchange about this.
“White-Trash Werewolf Smorgasbord”
Yes, that quoted phrase is the subsection title that columnist Melanie Conklin of the Wisconsin State Journal of Madison, Wisconsin, employs in her little segment on the The Beast of Bray Road. It is not often that you see a modern newspaper writer employing what, in essence, is a racial slur with a mention about cryptozoology. But there it is. Actually, to be specific, Conklin is quoting Linda Godfrey who is rather upset these days. Here is what Melanie Conklin wrote on July 12th, even mentioning this humble blog site along the way: ‘White-trash werewolf smorgasbord’ If you attend Wisconsin [...]
Loh Down On Hominid
Artist Peter Loh thinks another revision to his drawing is in order based on Vincent Chow’s new sketch, above. Also Peter feels some explanations from his point of view are worthy of registering, regarding the Johor Hominid drawings he has submitted. This seems only fair, so here’s his say: Vincent is a great artist too, eh? Here’s my earlier drawing with some changes based on his drawing. Now, I’d like to voice some of my frustrations when making my sketches. Before I sent you the last drawing (the original version of the drawing below), I had wanted to change the [...]
Sasquatch Hunters Screens
Recently, I mentioned actor Matt Lattimore’s death and one of the last movies in which he appeared. Now you have a chance to watch him and that film tonight. Matt Lattimore Fred Tepper, the director of Sasquatch Hunters (2005) writes in with news of his film’s screening today. Tepper emails: My Bigfoot movie, Sasquatch Hunters is making its television premiere today, Tuesday, July 11th at 8pm Eastern/Pacific (7pm Central) on the Sci-Fi Channel. (This is in the U.S. and maybe Canada — I think other countries have their own Sci-Fi Channel, so I don’t think it’ll be on there. But [...]
Editorial: Release Johor Photos
The drawings by Vincent Chow and Sean Ang, at one level, are to be appreciated. At another level, they have caused further frustration and a growing level of impatience within the general cryptozoological community. Here is Cryptomundo’s Peter Loh drawing of the head of a Johor Hominid (then called Mawas) – the first drawing allegedly based on Chow’s photos – compared to a photograph of the head of an orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), also called in Indonesia, mawas. As far as can be understood from the new stories being told, we now don’t know where these alleged Johor Hominid photographs were [...]
Johor Hominid Face?
Here’s the face drawn by Vincent Chow that everyone is talking about, allegedly drawn from the photographs that Vincent Chow has in his possession. This new one can now be compared to the two following drawings earlier sketched by Peter Loh. What is graphically shown is the great differences between the earliest head interpretation of what Vincent Chow says he saw in the photographs, and how it was suggested it be redrawn by Peter Loh, through Chow’s corrective feedback, plus now with those of Sean Ang’s. Obviously, the time is upon us to reveal and publish the photographs, instead of [...]
Beast of Bray Road Movie Not a Crypto-Study
Beast of Bray Road Movie Not a Crypto-Study No Crypto-angle in Beast of Bray Road Movie on Sci Fi Channel on Saturday, July 15, 2006, at 9 PM EDT A Guest Blog by Linda Godfrey Well, it isn’t the worst slasher/monster movie ever made, but that is about all I think this movie boasting it is "based on a true story" could claim for itself. A cryptozoological study, it is not. And please let me make it clear again, I had absolutely nothing to do with it, other than inadvertently providing them an already publicized title to use without permission [...]
Johor Hominid Hand?
Sean Ang has published his “hand-traced” sketch of the Johor Hominid (see below): Click on image for full-size version James Pritchett, a critic of the ongoing situation with the Chow-noted photographs, comments: ….Sean Ang has now provided us with his long promised sketch of one of the photos. Actually, I should amend that: he’s given us a sketch of one small portion of one of the alleged photos….but prepare to be disappointed–unless you consider a sketch of a hand to be significant… What have we learned from this image? Are we merely left to ponder more questions? Does Peter Loh’s [...]
Happy 12th
The Crookston Bigfoot with some guy in front of him, 2005, photographed by friend and author Joe Citro. This Wednesday, July 12th, is my birthday. I’m planning now for a big cryptozoology party in 2007, for my 60th (which feels really young to me, of course). Therefore, today, I am going to get personal, and publish my wish list a year ahead of time (you know, beyond good health and wellness wishes for my sons, friends, former lovers, family, and all Cryptomundo readers). Click the above photo for a full-size version of Jeffrey Vallance presenting his Bigfoot Diagram to me [...]
Jersey Devil + 40
Over at TV Squad on July 9th, Anna Johns writes of her interest in The X-Files season one’s episode "The Jersey Devil." She reminded me that an incident that happened 40 years ago, a significant close encounter of the Jersey Devil-Bigfoot kind, is still remembered, in a roundabout way, via the popular television series and its fans. Johns notes: …that season one of The X-Files is phenomenal. I had forgotten how many terrific episodes were packed into the first season. Chris Carter really seemed to have this show down solid right out of the gate. He set up the series [...]
