Can Cryptomundians help me? I’m attempting to locate online video clips of any appearances of the International Cryptozoology Museum (ICM) on documentary programs. I’ve only found one. The following YouTube footage was taken at the ICM in 2005, by Lone Wolf Productions. The clip is from the History Channel’s “Deep Sea Detectives” segment on the Loch Ness Monster. (Please ignore where I misspoke in the doc – six miles, not one – as this post is only about obtaining the ICM footage.) Can any of you point to YouTube or other online video postings that have snippets of the museum, [...]
Yahoo Picks Cryptomundo
The following is up and active on the Yahoo home page. Click on the direct link below noted at their “Cryptomundo” title for all of the hyperlinks Yahoo has added to the exchange. This is a direct copy of their interview, which they have given me permission to post. I added a few familiar Cryptomundo photos to keep your retro visual interests occupied.- LC Cryptomundo by Jon Brooks Early last year, we took a look at Cryptomundo, a site that scours the Web for news of “the most elusive and rare animals (cryptids) on this planet Earth.” Since then, sightings [...]
Your Thoughts On MonsterQuest?
Monster Quest or MonsterQuest (the production company spells it both ways) – or at least their first program – was on last night, Halloween. I missed it. I knew the program was on and told you all about it via Cryptomundo. But I missed it due to the fact I was on the radio during that exact hour (10-11 pm Eastern), talking about cryptozoology on the Brad Steiger Halloween Special on The Jeff Rense Radio Program. Someone mentioned on a yahoolist I was on the program. I can’t imagine my segment was long, as I only recall mentioning Champ a [...]
Hajicek’s MonsterQuest: Full Program Descriptions
Please note, the times are incorrectly given in the program art (above). “MonsterQuest” begins at 10:00 PM Eastern, and is repeated often in the following days, at various times. The History Channel debuts “MonsterQuest” Wednesday October 31st, 2007. The following is their press release regarding a summary of the series, and details on what is to be on each program. I think it has been understated, but it should be noted the series is by Doug Hajicek (pronounced high-check) and his Whitewolf Entertainment, Inc. Haijcek previously wrote, produced, and directed Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science, which originally aired on the Discovery [...]
Japan’s Standing Panda & More Video
Did you know that this strange bipedal behavior of a standing red panda has been all the rage in Japan? Here’s a fun video on a diversity of the following noted Fortean and cryptozoological topics, which ends with a suggested solution to the Standing Panda’s appearance. Mothman; Chupacabras; Bigfoot (with a ghost face in the background); Tsuchinoko (crypto-creature famous in Japan); Nessie; Alien with FBI/KGB/Gestapo agents (actually a “Talk of the Times” newspaper hoax); Flatwoods Monster; The Doll with growing hair (another typically Japanese Forteana); Aliens play with cattle mutilations; Crop circles, by drawing Doraemon; A play on a famous [...]
Africa’s Art Deco Dino: Njago Gunda
Syracuse Herald, May 15, 1921 In 1920, the Smithsonian Institution sent a 32-person expedition to Africa, which found unexplained tracks along the riverbank and heard mysterious “roars.” See the “Dinosauria” chapter of my field guide for more details. One hundred years ago, people would grab their weekend newspapers and hurry to find the Sunday supplements. There they might discover new adventures of explorers in deepest darkest Africa, follow the treks of famed safari leaders, and learn of new animals being found in the jungles. Take a moment today, reach back to that feeling, understand the world is not fully explored, [...]
Halloween Premiere: Monsterquest
During the year, the crew from this show came to Maine, Texas, and a lot of other places across North America. Don’t be surprised if you see some familiar faces in this series, including people you know in the first mini-documentary ever about an all-women Bigfoot expedition. Monsterquest, which debuts this fall, will take a scientific look at “creature” sightings around the world. History announced its 13-episode order for Monsterquest. There will be episodes on “monsters” such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Swamp Beast and the Creature of Snellgrove Lake. The series — described as one part history, one [...]
Owasco Lake Monster
Loch Owasco? That is one of several questions raised by Chad Lewis in “Hidden Headlines of New York: Strange, Unusual and Bizarre Newspaper Stories of 1860-1910.” Among the strange tales Lewis amassed about the Empire State is that of two fishermen who reported seeing a large serpent-like creature in Owasco Lake on July 7, 1889. Fred C. Hayden and James O. Thomas noticed a dark form in the water at Buck Point, on the south end of the lake, that they initially thought was a tree trunk. As they approached it in their boat from a few yards away, they [...]
Kiwi’s Taniwha
On Tuesday, October 16, I agreed to be on one of the many radio shows I do around Halloween every year. For whatever reason, mainstream and alternative radio both enjoy cryptozoology more around October 31. I suppose the annual holiday allows them the freedom to talk about monsters, creatures, and cryptids without looking over their shoulders at their programmers and sponsors. Anyway, frequently I don’t know much about a show I agree to go onto, there are so many these days. With the internet shows, well, it can get overwhelming. But certainly, if Australia calls up and asks if I’ll [...]
A Man and His (Weird) Museum
The Lewiston Sun Journal came for a visit to my museum. Here’s the way reporter Kathryn Skelton experienced it. And me. Weird, Wicked Weird A man and his (weird) museum Hair from Sir Edmund Hillary’s Yeti expedition, water from Loch Ness, a 9-foot latex pterodactyl, Loren Coleman’s got it all. Sometime next spring, Loren Coleman’s getting a 12-foot-long replica of Canada’s Ogopogo lake monster. It’ll probably have to stay on the porch, near his 8.5-foot-tall, oxen-haired Bigfoot. Coleman is a little pressed for space indoors. There’s already a 9-foot latex pterodactyl camouflaged by an avocado tree and a cabinet of [...]
