This is the image of the unknown animate object, perhaps a Bigfoot (?), taken by a remote camera on April 30, 2006, near Mt. Hood, Oregon. Click image for full-size version The following is more information shared by the photographers, Klindt & Dianna: The answer is yes we did set up the camera to capture a picture of Bigfoot. On the 29th [of April] the wind blew pine limbs that we had placed around the edge of the camera to mask our smell and hide the camera. We went up on the 30th [of April] and brought back the picture [...]
Pondering the Mawas Situation
With the death of Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans, 84, one of the fathers of Cryptozoology, on August 22, 2001, we lost more than a cryptozoologist. Indeed, a philosopher departed the scene. I have often wondered what he would say to all the interest and modern internet talk about the Malaysian Mawas and/or Bigfoot situation. As I look at his lover Alika Lindbergh’s paintings of Heuvelmans, the single quotation that keeps coming to my mind, from my sensitive friend and fellow thinker, is this one: Cryptozoological research should be actuated by two major forces: patience and passion. – Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans, Cryptozoology, [...]
The Face of the Johor Mawas
Cryptomundo Exclusive: Vincent Chow and the Photographs Vincent Chow, Malaysian cryptozoologist and serious-minded natural history investigator, wasn’t ready to talk about the photographs of the Johor Bigfoot, yet, but sometimes events flow more swiftly than one wishes. Such is the case this week when it came out at a news conference that Chow would be releasing the photographs of an unknown hominoid in a book in the near future (June appears a-too-wishful date). Peter Loh, 42, was there, and his new sketch is published here, for the first time, as an exclusive at Cryptomundo. It is based on Chow’s description [...]
Erectus Dimorphism Discovered?
The news coming out of Malaysia gets more and more interesting every day. Craig Woolheater’s "Malaysian Bigfoot = Surviving Homo erectus?" contains information from Singapore’s Peter Loh, wherein some remarkable potential findings are shared. Photographs, according to naturalist and cryptozoologist Vincent Chow, have been taken by local people of these "Bigfoot" or locally termed "Mawas." The images are so good, according to their descriptions, reported from the news conference by Peter Loh, that the genitalia are visible. Think about it. Right now, scientists do not even know if there is sexual dimorphism – a specific concept that encompasses a clear [...]
New Mt. Hood Bigfoot Photograph?
There’s a new “possible” Bigfoot photograph that has been submitted to Cryptomundo. We are making no claims about it, but thought our readers might be interested in looking at this one. And pondering what it might be. It was taken by a scouting camera on April 30, 2006, in the Mt. Hood National Forest, near The Dalles, Oregon. The camera is a Cuddeback digital scouting camera, which was attached to a tree about three feet off the ground. It has a motion/heat detector. Could it be someone going by in a poncho? I asked the people who placed the camera, [...]
The Patterson Affair
In the June 1968 issue of the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained’s journal, Pursuit, cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson detailed his involvement in the early investigation and dissemination of the footage taken by Roger Patterson on October 20, 1967. The article makes for interesting reading, as it gives an insider’s look at what some of the thinking was as the drama unfolded. The Patterson Affair by Ivan T. Sanderson The most outstanding event in the Fortean field during the past six months, and potentially one of the most important ever to have occurred was the obtaining of 30-feet of [...]
Breaking: NJ Mystery Cat Report
Monmouth County police are reporting a sighting of a large Mystery Mountain Lion or some kind of Phantom Panther around Dutch Lane, along the Colts Neck-Marlboro border, New Jersey, on May 1. Conservation officials studied a large paw print and took scat back for analysis. The State Division of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the paw print did come from a large cat, but they were not clear if the print belonged to a mountain lion. Besides reports from local ABC News and the Ashbury Park Press, Cryptomundo tipster Drew Vics says the local NY-NJ station 1010 WINS is reporting the [...]
Fossil Hominoid Tracks
London’s The Sunday Times on April 30, 2006, carries the above remarkable photograph by Michael Amendolia. This one is from a series of fossil tracks of Pleistocene hominoids from 20,000 B.C., found recently near the Willandra Lakes, New South Wales, Australia. Steve Webb, of Bond University, Queensland, and Mary Pappin Jr, a 26-year-old member of the local Mutthi Mutthi tribe discovered the first of what would be 450 more humanlike tracks, as well as what appear to be spear holes in the ground and the tracks of kangaroos and emus. This is perhaps only an eighth of the total, the [...]
Maine Gators
Earlier this week, Cryptomundo made mention of crocs in Maine’s fictional Lake Placid, and now there’s been an actual report of an alligator found in the state. Thank goodness the Cryptomundo blog was just a coincidence. The coastal Village Soup online news source noted that on Saturday, April 22, 2006: Maine Game Warden Neal Wykes received an emergency call from Judy Walker, an employee at Maine Audubon. “A three-foot alligator had been found in a farm pond on Maine Audubon property in Falmouth,” she told Wykes. Wykes rushed to this unusual call, possibly wondering if it was a hoax. “When [...]
Media Watch: Wallace Again, Wrong Again
Reporter Cheryll Borgaard of the Longview Daily News in Washington State, on Sunday, April 30, 2006, has written a new article, entitled “Most Notorious — A legend or just elusive? Sasquatch keeps the world guessing.” Her article is a typical overview piece, rather good in most parts. The news item talks about the late Grover Krantz estimating there are 2000 or so Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest, local Longview men Randy Trusty and David Hart collecting Bigfoot track plaster casts in 1998, Robert Michael Pyle discussing skepticism but finding three prints, and the differences being expressed between Krantz and Pyle [...]
