Bill Rebsamen’s illustration completed for me in 2001, for use on the cover of my Mothman book. Does it matter what color the eyes of a more stylized imaging of Mothman appears in graphic art? Two color drawings of “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” arrived overnight from Len Peralta. What version of Mothman‘s eyes do you like? For a look at the black and white initial example of Len Peralta’ art again, go to ” Cryptozoo by Mail”. Should illustrative, graphic, and comic art stay close to the original descriptions of cryptids, or can it be appreciated as a form and extension of [...]
Coast to Coast AM: Male Chauvinism Within Bigfoot Research?
Of course, at some level, one could say we don’t even know what we are looking for and what skills or odors or equipment it will ultimately take to find unknown hairy hominoids. After all, we haven’t found any Bigfoot, Yeti, Almas, or Skunk Ape yet, so what we have been doing isn’t working – or the unknown hairy hominoids are not out there. But that doesn’t stop some people from criticizing others who are for a completely open field of investigators – from academics to truck drivers, from women to men, from true believers to skeptics. For example, in [...]
Women Bigfooters Do Better Fieldwork?
Cartoonist Ted Bastien’s graphic view captures my Coast to Coast AM with George Noory appearances, including ones such as last night’s discussion of black panthers, Sasquatch research, and Bigfoot history. One of the interesting side talks George and I had on his show was about how women – a la’ Jane Goodall – need support to live in pairs for six months or more in the woods, doing Bigfoot research. The non-threatening approach of the great apes and Sasquatch to women might be an overlooked key to future fieldwork. What do you think? Might women actually be able to get [...]
Surprise Appearance on C2C
I just received a telephone call. I’ve been invited to make an appearance on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory tonight (overnight May 16th into the morning of May 17th, 2007) between 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM Pacific, 11:00 PM – midnight Mountain,, midnight – 1:00 AM Central, 1:00 AM – 2:00 AM Eastern. C2C seems very interested in the new Mystery Giant Turtle Photos! But I told C2C’s producer Tom, right off the bat, the photos probably are of a decomposing whale. They still want to talk about cryptozoology in general. George was a little rushed at the [...]
GEICO’s Cavemen – Neandertal Prejudice or Comedy?
What would happen if a small relict band of Neandertals (Homo neanderthalensis) was discovered? What if they learned to speak some language known to modern humans (Homo sapiens) and tried to integrate into our society? For hominologists, such questions have been pondered for years, due to the fact that many of us have considered it a real possibility that Neandertals are behind reports of nuk-luk, Bushman, wudewasa (Eurasia’s Woodpeople) and other unknown hairy hominid sightings and encounters. (See The Field Guide of Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates, specifically on “Neandertaloids,” pages 13, 23-26, 52-53, 90-91, 118-119, and 170.) The issue [...]
Yowie Hunter Tramps USA
Yes, can you believe it, after all the friendship Americans have shown to those from Oz, word now reaches Cryptomundo that a Yowie hunter is tramping the US*? Anomalist Books has made this breaking news announcement in a press release today: Tony Healy, the co-author of The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot, is touring the U.S. through the first of November 2007, and is available for interviews and lecture appearances. He will be speaking at the 19th Annual Bigfoot Conference Bigfoot Expo at the Salt Fork State Park Lodge in Guernsey County, Ohio on May 19th, 2007. Be sure [...]
The First Bigfoot Porn Film
The first (and hopefully last) graphic, boring, Bigfoot porn film has been discovered. In terms of full disclosure and capturing the total history of cryptocinema, I have to record a mention of this 15 minute film – a 1981 production – The Geek. The director is unknown, the producers are unknown, the writer is unknown, the editor is unknown, and most of the actors are too. One individual, Lynn Holmes, has placed The Geek in her acting credits on the IMDb. Are we to assume she is the woman being sexually violated by Bigfoot in this film? I only know [...]

Maine’s “Fossilized Bigfoot Tracks”
These are images of Mainer Tom Martin’s “fossilized Bigfoot tracks” as noted in the blog, “Ah, Bigfoot and ME”. See that posting for more details.
Ah, Bigfoot & ME
Photograph by Joseph Citro. The abbreviation for the State of Maine is “ME.” As fate would have it, Lewiston Sun Journal reporter Kathryn Skelton has a feature article about Maine and Bigfoot today, entitled creatively, “Bigfoot & ME.” It happens to have a large photo of me at the top of one section of the story. Here’s an excerpt of some of what Skelton writes about in this Saturday’s news article. It contains various things that have only a little to do with the critical examination of Bigfoot sightings in Maine. Some words are not even worth repeating, so here’s [...]
