Eli Harrington, who is a communications volunteer this summer working in China, has recently returned from exploring some little known Yeren sites. One of the Chinese posters used in local villagers to encourage eyewitnesses to tell Yeren researchers about their sightings. Chinese researcher Yuan Zhenxin with the cast of an alleged Yeren from Hubei province’s Shennogjia Nature Reserve. While in China, Harrington took a few side trips to see the crypto-parts and other wonders of the country.

Creationist Details Papua Dino Sightings
Since the 1990s, a large ‘reptilian’ creature has been sighted occasionally on Umbungi Island in West New Britain, Papua New Guinea. Umbungi Island is located on the south coast of West New Britain between Kandrian and Gasmata. The creature has also been sighted on Alage Island, about 1km to the south of Ambungi Island. So begins Brian Irwin of “Creation on the Web” detailing his interviews of local residents of two islands on the south coast of West New Britain Province, Papua, New Guinea. Descriptions given by villagers seem to indicate to Irwin the presence of an alleged bipedal aquatic [...]
Qaqrat Monster Washes Ashore in Alaska
Qaqrat is a word in the Inuit dialect of Cup’ig, Nunivak Island’s native language. It is phonetically pronounced “koo-gat” and translates as “beast-walrus.” One could say that the carcass of a qaqrat has graced itself upon Alaska. Will the fabled “beast-walrus” be the next media darling? After all the news attention to the recent carcass, the Montauk Monster, that washed ashore at a beach in New York, you might expect to hear about more such incidents this summer. A little paper in Seward, Alaska, seems to be the first one to tell of an actual similar unknown. Unfortunately, they have [...]
Montauk Monster Hoax Claim A Hoax
In the wake of this summer’s biggest crypto-blockbuster, doesn’t it make sense that someone might try to turn it into a gold mine of publicity for their project? John Green and I were once talking about the Sasquatch mystery, and he said, there will always be people to rush in and say that they hoaxed this story or that one to get the attention and stake a claim to history. The Montauk Monster is a mundane little body that’s become a weekend wonder. The rush is on now, with this wee Montauk marvel, to be the first to say “they [...]

Grey River [New Zealand] Argus, February 17, 1888 A LIVE MASTODON. THE LATEST WONDER OF THE ALASKA FAUNA.

The Indian followed up the curious trail, and at last came in full view of his [...]

Elfin Photo Released
Tahoe Elf? Nevada Faery? Lake Tahoe Leprechaun? Deneau’s Hobgoblin? There is a world of good names out there, and this one cannot go down as a “leprechaun-alien” for long, please. Lloyd Deneau, 41, of Florida was on vacation at Lake Tahoe, located along the border between California and Nevada, west of Carson City, Nevada. He decided to photograph some interesting trees in a forest there. (When? Exactly where? The reports don’t say.) The he thought he’d seen a tiny creature darting from the forest. Deneau took out his camera and proceeded to take a picture of it. What he saw [...]
Montauk Monster Überschwemmte Cryptomundo
Click image for larger version. There can be little doubt that the Montauk Monster is a media phenomenon this summer, and is even outstripping Obama, Morgan Freeman and Heath Ledger in gaining widespread short term attention. It überschwemmte (swamped, deluged) Cryptomundo and about every other site too. While people like Gawker threw around casually the words “demon beast” or “monster,” as the first report surfaced, when I posted early on Tuesday, July 29th, and labeled this thing the “Montauk Monster,” magic happened. It reminds me of how, on a whim, I called the Massachusetts creature seen in April 1977, the [...]
New Mystery Cat Photos Questioned

According to the Sunday Washington Post article entitled, “Authorities Take Photos Of Elusive Large Cat” by Martin Weil and Clarence Williams, the phantom feline has been identified. But I wonder if the identification is wrong? Authorities at the College Park campus were able to obtain photographs of an unidentified feline that, while not quite a cougar, they said, [...]
LaCrosse Lizardman
Then there’s… …the mid-90s encounter another man and his son had by the riverbank in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, while hunting for a lost dog. They saw what they described as a “Lizardman,” covered in brownish scales and very reptilian-looking. ~ Linda Godfrey
