Please refer to Jerry Glover’s previous “Walking With Wildmen” and Luxembourg “Wildman” or “Bigfoot” specific articles for his insights. Here is the video, itself: I am a middle-aged citizen of Luxembourg who prefers to stay anonymous. In 2002 during winter, i was on my daily walk to film forest life. But before i could reach the forest i noticed some prints on the snow covered ground. Then i saw a hundreds meter away a dark and very huge figure. I tried to get it on the film. The creature disappeared in a forest after a few minutes. I just made [...]
Exit The Wolfman: Gable Film Update
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.Friedrich Nietzsche The Gable Film is merely, as seemed obvious in the beginning, an alleged hoax. Many readers have sent in comments and links. I will pluck one, that of Cyptomundo reader SC, as an example that gets directly to the point: Follow this link to read Mr. Steve Cook’s explanation as to the nature of the “unintended hoax.” It seems three frames of the film reveal a [...]
Blair Dog Project: Gable Film Fakery?
Our excitement was so intense, as we saw the way to Solomon’s treasure chamber thrown open at last, that I for one began to tremble and shake. Would it prove a hoax after all, I wondered, or was old Da Silvestra right? Were there vast hoards of wealth hidden in that dark place, hoards which would make us the richest men in the whole world?H. Rider Haggard, King Solomon’s Mines. It’s time to bring out the silver bullets. Okay, Cryptomundo will stop ignoring the Gable Film, and take up the hunt. Since September 24, I’ve tried to get some straight [...]
“Sassafrass” Sasquatch Squashed
I suppose people think this is cute or funny, by now. Sorry, I don’t agree. Indeed, I am tired of all this video trash posted as nonfiction film clips. It’s one thing to have a cryptofictional movie you want to promote, and it’s another thing to keep floating parts of it out there to confuse the general public, including teenagers, who are watching YouTube. Anyway, in the latest intellectual assault like this, Bigfoot Bubba has posted a new video as real, labeling it “Bigfoot Sighting at Sassafrass Ridge Authenticated.” He writes: “Recently discovered Film Footage ditigally restored and colorized as [...]
Monster Weekend Report
Newcastle, UK: The home of the infamous Lambton Worm, known for its Curse and the Lambton Worm song. Journalist Tim Chapman shares his straight-from-the-scene report on the September 1-2, 2007, “Monster Weekend” in Newcastle, United Kingdom. With no official Fortean Times UnConvention this year (and, as I understand it, little prospect of one in the foreseeable future), FT stalwart Ian Simmons assumed the task of organising a partial substitute. Conveniently, Ian holds a senior job at the ‘Centre for Life’ science museum in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, which just happened to be hosting a ‘Myths & Monsters’ exhibition on loan from London’s Natural [...]
Circus Train Wreck Myth
Cecil B. DeMille’s The Greatest Show on Earth, released in 1952, influenced many future explanations of Midwestern “varmint” sightings in the 1950s – through the Present.
De Loys’ Well-Known Prank
Michel Raynal continues the discussion of the de Loys photograph with a summary of his recent findings. Several people who met with François de LOYS in Mene Grande (Venezuela) in 1917-1920, when he was doing geological work for the Standard Oil in this area, have revealed that de LOYS made a joke with a simple spider-monkey: – from Earnest HOOTON, Man’s poor relations (1946): “at this time [1927], he [A. James DURLACHER, an American engineer in a petroleum company] made inquiries of men who had been in the de Loys expedition, and discovered that the specimen de Loys shot was, [...]
Apes In Green Hell: Racism and Revisions
Dr. Karl Shuker has written numerous articles and several major books devoted to cryptozoological topics. One of his earliest books is the classic like Mystery Cats of the World (1989). But today, I do not speak of felines. He also wrote other books that have become favorites of cryptozoologists, such as Extraordinary Animals Worldwide (1991), The Lost Ark: New and Rediscovered Animals of the 20th Century (1993), From Flying Toad to Snakes with Wings (1997) and, acting jointly as consultant and contributor, Man and Beast (1993). During the 21st Century, Shuker has undertaken the revising and updating of many of [...]
Are Peru’s Ica Stones Safe?
Dinosaurs and men alive at the same time? I don’t really want to get into that discussion, but I want to alert you to the fact a “piece” of the evidence (pro or con) used by some to support their point of view in the debate, the Ica Stones, may be missing or damaged. The Peruvian earthquake of August 15, 2007, has resulted in some worry for them. Ica, Peru, was one of the hardest hit areas. I reached people usually in contact with those who keep the Ica Stone safe and/or at the Ica Stone Museum. Here’s the message [...]
Werewolf Mask Fools Investigators
This is a time for caution, says an experienced werewolf hunter. Linda Godfrey, the author of The Beast of Bray Road and Hunting the American Werewolf, shares the image of this newly available mask (at top), as an example of the kinds of costume items easily obtainable nowadays. From photographs of probable people in Bahia mud to sightings of Skinwalkers, she notes, it is a time for care for all investigators.
