Who is Gordon T. Holmes? What do we know about the man who took the Nessie footage in late May 2007? Does Gordon Holmes have visions of becoming the next Sherlock Holmes, following in the footsteps of that character’s creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? It is with no disrespect that I compile for my readers the facts that Mr. Holmes has placed out there in cyberspace about himself. He has freely admitted that he has filmed fairies, seen apparent alien black cats (ABCs, alien big cats, as they are often called because they are “out of place” or alien – [...]
Loren is Youtubed
I discussed YouTube a few days ago, coining the word “Tubesquatch.” Before the week was over, I’d been Youtubed myself. I guess the lesson is, be careful about what you write. Ha. 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. What happened is typical for the fate of a combined human interest-animal-mystery teaser held to the end of such a program. Especially it seems in live news talkshows, such segments are squeezed for [...]
Not Feral, Farm-Raised, Just Fred
It turns out that the “giant wild boar” is not exactly Hogzilla II. It’s merely “Fred.” Wire service reports are flashing the news around the world, summarizing the reported truth behind Hogzilla II. It was not a wild boar, and not even a hybrid. It was a farm-raised pig, named Fred, purchased for a canned hunt. That hunt ended on Lost Creek Plantation just four days after it was released into a 60 hectare fenced area, the animal’s former owner said. Phil Blissitt told The Anniston Star that he bought the six-week-old pig in 2004 as a Christmas gift for [...]
Radio-Controlled Nessie Video
The Gordon Holmes footage newly taken at Loch Ness, which you can view the stablized version here, should have us looking with caution at the footage of an already existing radio-controlled Nessie. Recognize the above image? Is this one of the two photographs of the original “Surgeon’s Photograph” from 1934? Or is it something else? Since 2005, the year when the Japanese toy company Takara introduced their radio-controlled Nessie, we all have to be careful and questioning when looking at new loch and lake videos of cryptids. Here are some photos of the model, in two different color versions, with [...]
Update: Nessie Video Posted
Below the image from the video is the news report containing the videotape by Gordon Holmes of the unknown in Loch Ness.
New Skamania Tubesquatch
Here’s the latest new Bigfoot video posted on YouTube, forwarded to me by a reader. Gosh, I certainly don’t go looking for these, that’s for sure. Maybe it’s just me, but I am beginning to feel like YouTube’s Sasquatch scenes are a total waste of my time, your time, and any serious researchers’ time. I haven’t seen a video that’s appeared on YouTube initially first (versus those taken from documentaries) that has been worth more than a moment of idle speculation. The visual online world seems to be having an explosion of the cinematic version of one blobsquatch after another. [...]
Women in Bigfoot Studies: Jane Goodall
Yeti or Bigfoot or Sasquatch….I tell you that I’m sure that they exist….I’ve talked to so many Native Americans who all describe the same sounds, two who have seen them. I’ve probably got about, oh, thirty books that have come from different parts of the world, from China from, from all over the place.Dr. Jane Goodall, while being interviewed by Ira Flatow, National Public Radio’s “Science Friday,” September 27, 2002. Of late, while talking about women in Bigfoot studies, I ventured off into writing about women in racing and mentioning briefly Jane Goodall as a woman whose entry into the [...]
“Mythic” Opens
The exhibition, “Mythic Creatures” opens at The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City on Saturday, May 26, 2007. Two good articles on the exhibition and the opening are (click on the title of each article for the link): “The Surprising Realities of Mythical Creatures,” LiveScience; “Exploring the Nature of the Unnatural,” New York Times. On some level, I was surprised to see Richard Ellis is a co-curator of the exhibition, while on another, I wasn’t. Richard has painted and illustrated various museums and books with some outstanding images of marine life, has a deep interest in [...]
Where Are The Lost Sasquatch Columns?
Saturday, May 26th is the anniversary of the death of Sir Michael Bruce, a little-remembered early columnist who wrote about Sasquatch. He died fifty years ago. Mark A. Hall has passed along the following attached notes and articles about Sir Bruce. Sir Michael Bruce, an advocate for the Sasquatch, was the brother of Nigel Bruce, the actor best known for portraying Dr. Watson to Basil Rathbone’s cinematic Sherlock Holmes. Sir Bruce died of a heart attack on May 26, 1957. I mentioned him in Living Fossils, on page 20. As far as I know, no one has gone back to [...]
Maddening Mystery of Maine Mutant Muddled
The dead dog near the road was photographed by Michelle O’Donnell, Turner, Maine, August 2006. Click on the image to make it bigger. The Maine Mystery Beast is back. Well, at least, the animal discovered next to Route 4, which was incorrectly labeled as the killer of livestock and pets, is. Mark LaFlamme called yesterday, and interviewed me about the claims of a Florida woman that the dog probably killed by a vehicle barreling down Route 4 was her’s. Anything is possible, but the problem with this whole new sidebar to last summer’s sensational story rests in the matter of [...]
