The UK’s Telegraph is putting a new spin on the reason behind the selling of the Johor Bigfoot cast. Reporter Sebastien Berger in Lukut writes in an article entitled “Explorer hopes plaster cast will raise funds to search for Bigfoot,” in part: In the jungle of southern Malaysia, where legends of a giant man-ape echo along with the calls of forest wildlife, a plaster cast of a huge footprint is precious evidence. Syed Abdullah Alattas, the founder of Paranormal Seekers Malaysia, found the footprint outside Lukut, in Johor. But it is difficult to raise enough cash to help prove the [...]
Exclusive: Johor Bigfoot Cast Copy
Joshua Gates – shown above on his investigative trek in Malaysia with Seekers Sis and Illa – reveals to Cryptomundo the startling news that an excellent first generation copy of the Johor Bigfoot cast sits safely in California. Illa shows off the cast last February, as photographed from a different angle, above, as opposed to the often seen image, below. Joshua Gates, above, was involved with obtaining the original Johor cast, in the jungle. But, as it turns out, a copy was made; see the photo directly above, which was previsiously published as showing the original. Gates is shown below [...]
American Offers $50,000 For Johor Cast
Cryptomundo correspondent and Malaysia Star reporter Marsha Tan has been kind enough to send along her latest Johor Bigfoot article to be shared here. If anyone knows the identities of the (1) American “Bigfoot researcher” or (2) the “museum owner” who are behind the offers to either trade casts (yeah, right the Seekers are going to take up that one) or the $50,000 payment for the cast, we’d like to hear from you. My previous blog entry on this subject is here, and the eBay Malaysia description is here. Illa shows off the cast last February. Sunday October 8, 2006 [...]
Cryptozoologists Confusion: Adeek, Illa, Sis
As mentioned here, the group the Seekers decided to sell their often-photographed Johor Bigfoot footcast (pictured in situ above and, as frequently recalled, immediately below). I have learned their recent starting bid was $30,000US. That was beyond what most people can afford, and their Malaysian eBay auction ended on September 27th with no bids. All the "new" news about the cast reminded me that the identity of the woman (above) next to the cast should be tied down. Despite attempts to resolve the question of her name this week, she was misidentified by some informants as Adeek. Her identity is [...]

Mystery Cryptozoologist Photo
Due to dogged diligence, indepth investigative inquiries, and long hours in pursue of the truth, Cryptomundo brings you today the identity of the mystery cryptozoologist pictured all year by the North American media, next to the now famous Johor Bigfoot cast. You remember the photo, shown above? The cast was found in February 2006, at Kampung Temenin Lama, Kota Tinggi. This specific image of the track cast shows a curious individual pointing out this piece of alleged Bigfoot evidence found by the Seekers, SPI, and the Sci-Fi filmmakers. She was not identified in the media reports at the time. But [...]
Brunei Bigfoot Trackway Photo
In an earlier blog, Liew Kim San’s discovery of unknown tracks was mentioned here. The prints were said to have been found along the Andulau forest area in Labi, Brunei, which according to Liew Kim San (“Kim”), the footprints “do not resemble human or animal footprints.” (I would hope that this is a mistranslation, as obviously, if they are tracks of an Earth species, they must be an animal’s, as we are not talking about a robot here, folks.) Kim says the footprints are too wide to be that of humans. Photo shows the track of footprints leading towards the [...]
Brunei Bigfoot
Bru Direct, Brunei Darussalam September 26, 2006 Bigfoot In Brunei? By Liza Mohd Bandar Seri Begawan – Bring on the cryptozoologists. The Bigfoot has left the jungles of Johor to the allure of Brunei’s Labi, or so it seems. A Sungai Liang resident has discovered several strange footprints along the Andulau forest area in Labi, which according to him do not resemble human or animal footprints. Liew Kim San, 34, a permanent resident, said the footprints could be of an unknown wildlife while most of his Than friends speculated that it could be that of a forest genie, which they believe [...]
Bigfoot Family Tree
Click image for full-size version François Vanasse and an associate (HP) have created the Bigfoot family tree shown above. Here’s Vanasse’s comment on it, followed by his colleague’s: +++++++ “First off, this is assuming that any of these creatures actually exist, and are biological…. To start with we placed all of these into the family of Great Apes, but have created a new subfamily called ‘Ferrisvirae’ which literally means ”wild men” and includes both imaginary genuses of Megapodapthecae and Capleoferrae. Sivapithecus is the ancestor of Gigantopithecus and hence the possible ancestor of Capleoferrae. However in our tree we chose to [...]
Johor Bigfoot Interest Evaporates
The first recent sightings of the Johor Bigfoot took place in November 2005. Although the commotion had little to do with the traditional Pacific Northwest Bigfoot, the news organizations in Asia and America kept the interest level high for the first few months of 2006, calling them Orang Dalam, Johor Bigfoot, or Malaysian Mawas. But since the awful “johor hominid” hoax was exposed, where photographs of actors dressed as prehistoric hominids were promoted as the “real” things from the jungles of Malaysia, the attention has crashed. The famed footprint cast is for sale and a reality tv program on the [...]
