A Life Explored In Words
I sometimes neglect the fact that few people know really what I have written, in total. Today, for example, a young man emailed me with this message: “How many books have you done Loren? I have only come across two.” Well, I can forget myself, often, for many reasons. It happens. Ha ha. Memory and lists of things-to-do aside, one reason is that there are many ways to count the unfolding of my life that occurs via my modest library of written works. You can look at “how many” in terms of various editions, revisions, and reprints. Or you can [...]
Loch Ness Monster Video, Not Bigfoot?
Bigfoot, Bigfoot, Bigfoot. I’m so tired of blobsquatch videos, aren’t you? Sasquatch, Sasquatch, Sasquatch. Nessie, Nessie, Nessie. Loch Ness Monster, Loch Ness Monster. Ah, finally good footage, right? I’m forced to write a blogsquatch, the sad condition of blogging that appears to be something it really isn’t – seemingly cryptozoological but it only vaguely appears that way from a distance. Instead, closer up, it is more blogging on exposing a fake, I’m afraid. Unfortunately, the above video has been making the rounds of emails because it has been posted on the Bigfoot of video upload sites, YouTube. Is it a [...]

Patterson Dies + 35: Anniversaries of 2007
This is the week, 35 years ago that Roger Patterson, rodeo rider, songwriter, and Bigfoot hunter, died. Thirty-five years! How time flies. During the next twelve months you will find your calendar filled with anniversaries that hit close to home, if you are interested in cryptids and other "strange things" that happen all the time. This year is the 400th anniversary of the founding of Virginia’s Jamestown colony and is (according to various media) the biggest milestone of the year in the United States of America. Intriguingly, 2007 will see the publication of many books about Virginia, including Weird Virginia. [...]
Art Deco Adventures: Patagonian Plesiosaurus
Click on image for a full size pdf version of the April 9, 1922, Lima, Ohio, graphic.

Or a prehistoric dinosaur? Forget about Africa’s Mokele-mbembe hunts in [...]
