Chased By A Frog Six Feet Tall Marvelous Adventure of An Upholster of La Salle Steet Robert Oakley, an upholsterer, was found by an officer tearing La Salle street Chicago like a hunted deer. Oakley told Justice Richardson he had been pursued by a frog 6 feet tall, which croaked as loud as a peal of thunder and had eyes as large and fierce as searchlights. “I don’t care if I did violate an ordinance. I would violate every ordinance in the criminal code before I’d serve as a meal for any four-legged monster. Just think of it; the green-eyed [...]
“Monkey-Headed Baby” or Not?
Monkey x human offspring do not exist from Homo sapiens females. What you are about to read may make you upset, and if you view the video referenced, you may become sick. What are humans thinking to make such things into news? Not surprisingly, as shown above, people have made babies with defects into “monsters” for hundreds of years. The only difference now, it’s on YouTube. Some things being uploaded onto the internet – technically being reposted because they are on the broadcast news – are so unfortunate that I wish I could expunge them from my memory. I hope [...]
Olaf the Giant Display
This is the card that was over Olaf the Giant display. The same card was used at the Jones Museum / Seattle Center, when the Museum was on Highway 99 – north of Lynnwood, Washington, before it moved to Seattle Food Circus. Thanks to Rich for sharing this from his growing collection of Seattle area historical attractions.
1800s’ Hairy Wild Men – Fools’ Pranks or Reality?
Chad Arment noted on April 1st: “Loren Coleman has posted an account at Cryptomundo of an early April Fool’s Day Sasquatch story by John Green (before Green became interested in the phenomenon). That may have been one of the first news pranks that actually used the term Sasquatch, but there is a much earlier April 1st tale of a hairy wild man.” Arment goes on to tell about an older story from back East, during the 19th century. Yes, I had in mind, specifically, the earliest “Sasquatch” and “Bigfoot” (Pacific Northwest) April 1st journalistic joke, so I’m not surprised that [...]
Brooding About Bigfooters
Sometimes I allow my thoughts to drift to trying to understand the “people” part of the Bigfoot quest. In my Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America (NY: Paraview Pocket – Simon and Schuster, 2003), I wrote Chapter 15, “The Bigfooters” to detail my thoughts on the matter of the why and the what of the searchers. I added historical and people-specific notes to this matter in my more casual analysis of the folks “looking” for Bigfoot in The Field Guide of Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates and Tom Slick: True Life Encounters in Cryptozoology. In Bigfoot!, I decided [...]
Myakka Finally Solved
Look carefully at all of these images of, especially, the face of the Myakka whatever. Take note of the wrinkles between the eyes. The placement of the nostrils. The spacing between the eyes. The lack of a tail. Look closely at the angle of the hair as it gently falls off the head. Measure the forehead. Examine how the white beard goes far down across the chest area. Concentrate on how different the face is from that of the actors in The Planet of the Apes. Compare the color of the Myakka beard to what is actually found for an [...]
Bigfoot Academic
Is this cell phone picture proof that celebrated ape-man scholar Bigfoot has tampered with the archaeological record? Find or Fake? Scandal has enveloped Bigfoot’s most spectacular finds, including this unique pot, found by Bigfoot during his massive pedestrian survey of New Mexico’s Chaco Canyon. Bigfoot Shocker!! April Fool’s Day 2007 Giant ape-man academic exposed!! American archaeologists were stunned as news broke today that a high-school student with a cameraphone caught Bigfoot in the act of planting artifacts at Burns Mound. An important Mississippian period (A.D. 900-1100) site outside of Memphis, Tennessee, Burns Mound’s discovery during a joint Bigfoot-University of North [...]
Bigfoot: Ten Video Appearances
Over at “Forces of Good,” Stefan Blitz has posted his ten most favorite video clips of “Bigfoot Appearances.” I note that only two appearances of the gathering, #1 and #10, can be said to be nonfiction. Most are popular culture icons, snippets from movies, ads, and reality programs that are entirely fictional. Nevertheless, it is a good little collection, and Blitz is to be congratulated for posting these YouTube-like clips all in one place. Here is his list: TOP TEN BIGFOOT APPEARANCES Ah, the famed Sasquatch. Of all of my favorite crypto-creatures, you are by far my favorite. Luckily, the [...]
Proto-Nazi Hoax: The “Ape” in Green Hell
If this was such an extraordinary image, why did the alleged photographer not show the back end of the primate and why did he keep it stored away for almost ten years? The photograph (above) of an alleged “Ameranthropoid ape” supposedly was taken in South America by François de Loys. It has a checkered history, and was used for proto-Nazi racist promotion in the late 1920s and early 1930s, despite the fact it is most certainly a spider monkey (below). Basically, two schools exist about this photo. 1) There are those that believe the François de Loys story and thus [...]
What Scientists Can Do: The Real Bigfoot
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 10: What Scientists Can Do, The Real Bigfoot, and Notes by Mark A. Hall What Scientists Can Do When scientists take up the study of Bigfoot reports, they might first rescue the neglected and misplaced bones already in museum collections. The field studies, so often considered to be science at work in the wild, need to be better prepared for than past efforts. Searching streams for tracks failed. Camping out and waiting for all the native wildlife to come to you has also failed. A lot of research should be done before [...]
