Is there a hint in today’s New York Times of how a redefining is taking place by the mainstream media regarding how editors and reporters will approach cryptozoology stories, post-Georgia hoax? Has an overt future motive been revealed in this article on the Jersey Devil? Image.

Kentucky Panel on Biscardi’s Folly
The panel will discuss the ins-an-outs of the events and details of the recent media circus on the Georgia Bigfoot hoax.
Bring Me The Head of Bigfoot
How many heads of “Bigfoot” are floating around this country? Is the Minnesota Iceman still available for exhibition? Does your local curio shop have the “stuffed head of Bigfoot”? What if one was real? Are we overlooking some piece of evidence here? Back to the days of the “Nondescript,” strange heads of hairy seemingly bipedal man-beasts have turned up as curious items on display. The Nondescript was supposedly part of the shoulders and head of a monkey-like creature that had a long tail and thick fur. Charles Waterton had collected it in his travels in deepest, darkest Guiana. Unable to [...]
Yeti News
The Associated Press carries an article today, in essence, saying the belief in the Yeti is on a decline in Bhutan as it becomes modernized. Here are some snippets from “Losing the Yeti in Forgotten Nation of Bhutan,” by Tim Sullivan: In the West, yeti-like creatures long ago were reduced to myth. The Abominable Snowman is something from a “Scooby Doo” episode, or part of the latest installment in Hollywood’s “Mummy” franchise. To mainstream science, the notion of Bigfoot is little more than a joke. But across the Himalayas the beast was seen as real, known for generations in a [...]
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 [...]
The Dark Knight Curse
A Batman beheading? Have people so quickly forgotten a recent tragedy? Heightened awareness of decapitations has occurred in the last few days due to the incidents in Brazil, Dubai, Greece, and, of course, the bus event in Canada (during the showing of The Legend of Zorro). Also, please note earlier The Mask of Zorro features Zorro’s/Diego’s brother’s beheading. In that Zorro movie, the decapitation is done by a sadistic, psychotic Texian Army Captain named Harrison Love. There remains no explanation of why the name “Badger” became the code word given to suspect Vincent Li of Edmonton, Alberta, by the law [...]
Dragon Talks Expanded
In addition to Loren Coleman’s July 20, 2008, talk at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmondton, Canada, on “Dragons and Cryptozoology,” new presentations have been scheduled now for other groups.
Held Over: CZ Talks/Day Two & New Cryptid Leads
Glad to see so many readers of Cryptomundo at Saturday, July 5th’s talk at Fort Knox. The late arrival crowds were so big that cars were backed up for a couple miles to get into the place. For Sunday, July 6th, when it is predicted people tend to get there earlier and on time, I’ve been asked to stay over to present at noon. Thus, I will give another hour long talk, with a Q&A session, outdoors with lots of replicas, artifacts, props and exhibits from the Interational Cryptozoology Museum. [No more news on the Island Falls black panther report, [...]
