A Batman beheading? Have people so quickly forgotten a recent tragedy? Heightened awareness of decapitations has occurred in the last few days due to the incidents in Brazil, Dubai, Greece, and, of course, the bus event in Canada (during the showing of The Legend of Zorro). Also, please note earlier The Mask of Zorro features Zorro’s/Diego’s brother’s beheading. In that Zorro movie, the decapitation is done by a sadistic, psychotic Texian Army Captain named Harrison Love. There remains no explanation of why the name “Badger” became the code word given to suspect Vincent Li of Edmonton, Alberta, by the law [...]
Georgia Body Update
You won’t see too much from me here any longer on the alleged Bigfoot body from the Georgia gentlemen, until an actual body is produced. Following their burning of my Bigfoot! book (after it previously was apparently being used as a reference work), it became obvious it was counter-productive to report on them. But for the sake of keeping you informed, here are various so-called developments in their ongoing melodrama. They have removed from the internet all of their previous videos, and are floating a recent one around that gives these two “facts”: ~ bigfttrkrs are now associated with Tom [...]
Montauk Monster Überschwemmte Cryptomundo
Click image for larger version. There can be little doubt that the Montauk Monster is a media phenomenon this summer, and is even outstripping Obama, Morgan Freeman and Heath Ledger in gaining widespread short term attention. It überschwemmte (swamped, deluged) Cryptomundo and about every other site too. While people like Gawker threw around casually the words “demon beast” or “monster,” as the first report surfaced, when I posted early on Tuesday, July 29th, and labeled this thing the “Montauk Monster,” magic happened. It reminds me of how, on a whim, I called the Massachusetts creature seen in April 1977, the [...]
Not Bigfoot vs the IRS
When weird meets the IRS By Kathryn Skelton , Staff Writer Saturday, August 2, 2008 Loren Coleman wants to make it clear: This isn’t Bigfoot versus the Internal Revenue Service. Sure, Coleman, the author of books on [Bigfoot, cryptozoology,] Mothman and a field guide to lake monsters and sea serpents [& another field guide on Bigfoot], has spent the last year as the subject of an IRS audit. He first had to convince the federal government there is such a thing as cryptozoology; and that, yes, it’s possible to dedicate a museum to mostly yet-to-be-found creatures. But he’s trying to [...]
Lost Weekend Rescued
Yep, perhaps it was the Montauk Monster, but something caused Cryptomundo to go down early in the pre-dawn A.M. on Saturday, August 2, 2008. It just was returned online. Cryptomundo is back and we don’t know why we were gone. What did you do with this time? I hope you all used it productively…perhaps shopping for Loch Ness water… Or picking up Bigfoot objects at flea markets. Of course, it was good time to catch up on the comics too. Or to ponder old cryptid photographs. No matter what, the news was still gathered, and I will catch you up [...]

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, [...]
Bigfoot Body “Accidentally Found”
The story of how the claimed Bigfoot body in Georgia was found is slowly being revealed. But first a moment to take a deep breath. The Bigfoot Trackers of Georgia have gained a lot of self-congratulatory mileage from going after Cryptomundo and others as their “enemies.” Of course, this is silly, and yet does make for emotional YouTube videos that do not present their cause too well in the public’s eye. Cryptomundo doesn’t feel anything in relationship to this entire melodrama other than interest. Yes, Cryptomundo’s hopes are presented as realistic, balanced with a skeptical intrigue in seeing the body [...]
