Wow, if you thought there were fights in Nessie studies and feuds among Bigfooters, you should pull the curtain aside in the serious world of paleontology sometime. Actually, you don’t have to, as Nature did it for you. Paleontology research assistant and fossil preprator ReBecca Hunt, pictured above, notes in her blog that “name-calling” is happening, quite openly, within the field of Aetosaurs studies, as evidenced by an article published today in Nature. “Doctoral students in the United States and Poland are accusing scientists at the Albuquerque-based New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNHS) of publishing articles that [...]
Paper Bird Sings “Cryptozoology”
The artist Paper Bird releases her new song “Cryptozoology” today. You can listen to a sample of “Cryptozoology” by clicking on the Juno site. Who is Paper Bird, apparently cryptically captured above? Paper Bird is the one-woman home-recorded musical project of Anna Kohlweis, who lives in Vienna, Austria. She’s been making music under that alter ego since she moved to Vienna in 2003; prior to this, she claims to have been raised in a woodland cave by fierce hobgoblins! She’s released a few download-only EPs via the Paper Bird website, followed by the release of other songs on the Austrian [...]
Bob Gimlin Sighting
Sarah Utter doesn’t say much about what happened at the Bigfoot gathering, but does report she had a Bob Gimlin sighting in her town. The local mainstream media took care of covering the event, as it turns out. But thank goodness for grassroots folks like Ms. Utter. Besides taking his photo, Ms. Utter seems to have been just as interested in snapping pictures of the signs on the trucks that showed up to see Gimlin.
Bird Picks Up Boy
Why does that headline looks vaguely familiar? What may be inside of us, almost at a genetic level, that remembers such incidents? I’m not talking about the Lawndale, Illinois, case of Marlon Lowe being picked up by one of two large birds, then dropped. That took place in Logan County in April of 1977. Instead, I’m reminded of my sense that there is a new such event due, by reading about an earlier case, highlighted recently by anomalist Scott Maruna. Maruna posted his finding of a copy of an old article about a bird identified as an eagle picking up [...]
Hotline For Sasquatch?
This was passed along to me this morning. It raises many good questions: So you’ve seen a Sasquatch. Who are you going to call? The provincial wildlife branch’s 24-hour hotline, 1-800- 663-WILD (9453) is a possibility. Ever had any sasquatch reports? “I don’t believe we have,” the operator said. Actually, the hotline is for such sightings as cougars or bears being where they shouldn’t or injured goats along the Trans-Canada Highway, according to the operator. Nor does the wildlife branch bother with Sasquatch sightings or the hairy humanoids themselves, according to spokesman Don Gilmour. “We don’t track them,” said Gilmour, [...]

Ledger’s Lafayette & Seely’s Sasquatch
Musing on the Twilight Language. Sometimes, I must blog about the Fortean and the anomalistic, as it applies to current events. I need to move these thoughts along, so for those looking for something strictly zoological or cryptozoological, you might wish to skip this one. For those who allow yourself to go down this path with me, here goes…. This morning Craig posted news items on reports of Bigfoot or Sasquatch being tracked in Wisconsin. One aspect of the story that may have whizzed by you is the twilight language; the name game is part of the account. Did you [...]
Bigfoot Stomps Into 2008 Campaign
According to the Associated Press, Bill Clinton speaking in Macon, Georgia, on Monday, January 21, 2008, played the cryptozoology card! The AP is reporting: “Bill Clinton doesn’t want to become the White House’s Sasquatch.” The news service noted the former president says it would be a mistake for him to have a specific job if he were to return to Washington D.C. with a new Clinton administration. In remarks to reporters, Clinton said: I’d be like the Abominable Snowman. I’d be Bigfooting everybody even if I tried not to. There’s almost no way you can avoid that. Whatever I do [...]
What Is The Future Image of Bigfoot?
What is in store for the next twenty years of Bigfoot? What visual imagery does the next generation have in mind for Bigfoot? What can we learn from the past recent history of the appearances of Sasquatch about the future look of the hairy hominoids? Twenty years ago, one movie changed the image of Bigfoot. During the previous twenty years, from 1967 through 1987, the psychological and visual Bigfoot was the one seen in the Patterson-Gimlin footage, that of a zaftig (indeed, quite zaftik) female Bigfoot walking along a sandbar in the forest. From 1987 through today, while the P-G [...]
