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.
Sumatran Rhino Discovered in Borneo Jungles
The Sumatran rhinoceros (above) is a special animal. In many ways, it retains several characteristics that link it to the megafauna of the Pleistocene. The Sumatran rhino thus is a living fossil*, related to the wooly rhinoceros (directly below) of the Ice Ages. That the Sumatran variety are still around is remarkable. From Malaysia, September 2006, comes important news that overlaps nicely with this being the same part of the world that our attention has been directed to regarding the Johor Bigfoot. The first Sumatran rhino has been verified by scientists in the Borneo jungles. The Bernama news service account [...]
Badlands Bigfoot
Many people visiting here and reading about the Pine Ridge reports of Bigfoot have asked for a better feel of the land. The following is a report by a Cryptomundo correspondent that it is worthy of sharing, as it gives some good insights into the terrain, the people, and the Sasquatch of the area under discussion, as well as the commonplace nature of the sightings being submitted. I have lived in the Black Hills all my life and, unfortunately, have never seen a Bigfoot. I do know people that swear they have. My stepfather is one of them. I was [...]
Battle With Sea Serpent
Fishermen Have Battle With Sea Serpent Long Beach, California — Five men who went fishing yesterday* on the launch Rita assert they had an encounter with a sea serpent at the Grouper banks, eighteen miles off shore. Guy Griffith and James Harvey were of the party. "The monster was about forty feet long," said Griffith, "and about fifteen feet back from the head it had a big dorsal fin. The head was as big as a barrel and brown with eyes as big as my fist and it moved from side to side. The tail was like that of a [...]
Pine Ridge Update: 9/06
The cryptozoological events at the Pine Ridge Reservation of the Oglala Sioux continue to occur. Despite debates about what it is, whatever is being encountered is still being seen. The sightings have been recorded via police scanners and confirmed by the Chief of Police. But other members of other agencies are seeing these Sasquatch. Backchanneling emails from law enforcement individuals working on site inform me that a serious situation is developing in South Dakota. It appears that definite proof of the Bigfoot being encountered at the reservation is mounting. For reasons of confidentiality and safety, all I can say presently [...]
Internet’s First Cryptid: Chupacabras
Let us celebrate the 11th anniversary of the first cryptid of the Internet Age: Chupacabras. In August and September 1995, the chupacabras (Spanish for "goatsucker" – the singular and plural forms) seemed to erupt on the cryptozoological landscape. I’m not talking about the mangy dogs that have been mistaken for Chupacabras in recent years. No, I mean the sightings – as if out-of-the-blue – of large, upright, goat-sucking, spiked creatures that were seen in Puerto Rico in increasing numbers a mere eleven years ago. Researchers such as Scott Corrales and Jorge Martin have since backtracked the critters through Indian lore [...]
Caution About “New Species” News
Everytime a news items appears about a "new species," of course, it seems it might be another exciting moment for cryptozoology. The new species could be one that is ethnoknown, a part of the traditions and encounters of the local peoples who may have assisted in finding it. But some media reports might not be talking about the discovery of a brand "new species." Sometimes reporters are only disseminating the fact that a "new" animal, perhaps never seen locally, is making a new appearance. Often, if the location has a bit of exotic mystic about it, people naturally think this [...]
What Is A Yarwen?
Has a Yarwen been captured in Maine? Read more about that question here. In this column, I wish to explore what kind of monsters (from creatures to humans) might be behind the use of such a word as "Yarwen." First, let’s consider that this term is not being used loosely, but very specifically to describe a person’s killing of an adult cryptid and the transporting of its baby. The mental graphic images of a young hominoid in a cage in New Jersey, yes, Jersey, are just more than I can take, but I’ll press onward, in the service of cryptozoology’s [...]
Messages From The Rez
People from South Dakota continue to write me about the July-August reports of something, some things, and more being seen by the Oglala Sioux. What are people saying about the Pine Ridge Bigfoot who live there? Here’s a sampling. I don’t have any directly-related Pine Ridge sketches to go with any of this material because no one has sent any to me. Yet. PynkSpyder writes: Okay, some things are not being said. I’m from this reservation, and, really, you couldn’t go 5 minutes without the topic coming up during that week. I heard from an OST officer, who is a [...]
