Ivan T. Sanderson (1911-1973) by Mark A. Hall, Wonders, December 1992, pp. 65-67. Twenty years ago an old friend died. He was a British subject who chose to live in the U.S.A. During his life Ivan T.

Coleman vs Nickell: Round Two for Champ Week
Round One: In the otter competitive battle between the forces of good and evil, the following is the clip from CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now,” for June 1, 2007, on Nessie, which was run in the final moments of her program. It was originally scheduled to be five minutes long. At the time, my author friend Jerry Clark noted that what was operating here, in counterpoint to my view, was: The Nickell principle: “We will take up an existence by its otters.” Coincidentially, another good friend, Patrick Huyghe emailed me: “Joe was otterly ridiculous.” Round Two: Bigfoots and Yetis and Champ, [...]
Journey To The Bottom Of Lake Baikal
Today, July 29, 2008, Russian scientists will attempt to reach the bottom of the world’s deepest freshwater abyss in a bid to find unknown life forms as well as claim a new record. In the realm of cryptozoology, the so-called “Lake Baikal Monster” is described by some as being a sturgeon-like cryptid, while others have likened it to a giant pinniped or large marine mammal. “We want to study, observe Lake Baikal” in order to “preserve it,” said expedition leader Artur Chilingarov, a pro-Kremlin member of parliament who led a team of scientists that planted a Russian flag at the [...]
New Ogopogo Sighting
I am back from Alberta, and this is going to be a day of catch-up. There’s been a new sighting of Ogopogo in Okanagan Lake, British Columbia, which took place, coincidentially, as I was talking of Lake Monsters (including Ogopogo), Sea Serpents, and Dragons, at the Royal Alberta Museum, in the province next door. On Sunday, July 20, 2008, Robyn Holman reportedly saw Ogopogo as she and a friend were travelling along the highway near Peachland, British Columbia. Holman says she noticed a wave in the water on Okanagan Lake and couldn’t believe her eyes when she turned to look. [...]
Third Green Warning: Cryptid Reptile Loose
The lay of the land near Stivers Lagoon. Watch out for the water hazards on the nearby golf course. Another report of a huge, unidentified reptile? Let’s put the latest sightings in their NoCal context. The reptile spotted by two people at a Fremont, California, golf course last week remains at large, and there are no plans to look for it again unless someone else sees it, officials said. A week after initially being alerted to a supposed 3-foot-long reptile – possibly an abandoned illegal pet caiman – in the water near the third green at Fremont Park Golf Center, [...]
Update: New 2008 Nessie Video
Above, one of the two photographs of the original uncropped “Surgeon’s Photograph[s]” from 1934. A new video of the Loch Ness Monster has been taken. Here is the footage: The Garside video appears to show three or several disjoined darkly colored patches moving along on the surface of the Scottish lake. What do they show? Nessie? Otters? Waves? Wake of a boat? A toy? What do you think? How was it obtained? Here’s what is known: David Garside, 31, and his dad, Graham, of Glenside Road, Slaithwaite, were on holiday in Scotland in April 2008, when David saw what he [...]
