Do you have an old Yeti costume knocking around your place, which you would loan out for free? Or even a Bigfoot suit that an actor might use for six weeks? An off, off, off Broadway play in New York City wants to talk to you. The Phoenix Theatre Ensemble is mounting a production of On The Verge. In the play, a Yeti appears. It’s a brief but strikingly memorable scene. However, they are a shoestring production and they quickly discovered that such a costume is very expensive to make or rent from a typical costume outlet. So they are [...]

Bigfoot: Ten Video Appearances
Over at “Forces of Good,” Stefan Blitz has posted his ten most favorite video clips of “Bigfoot Appearances.” I note that only two appearances of the gathering, #1 and #10, can be said to be nonfiction. Most are popular culture icons, snippets from movies, ads, and reality programs that are entirely fictional. Nevertheless, it is a good little collection, and Blitz is to be congratulated for posting these YouTube-like clips all in one place. Here is his list: TOP TEN BIGFOOT APPEARANCES Ah, the famed Sasquatch. Of all of my favorite crypto-creatures, you are by far my favorite. Luckily, the [...]

“We…evolved from larger breasts.”
The representation of an almasty based on some eyewitness reports. Everyone is talking about the new video out of British Columbia. Even “Page Six.” Here’s a snippet from today’s Canadian version of the gossip column: A new video has hit the web showing two brothers being caught off-guard by a dark humanoid creature in a forest near Tofino, B.C. Was it a Sasquatch? Was there any Kokanee nearby? The sightings still happen year after year. Fact or fiction? Page Six was out and about to ask folks if they believe there are Sasquatches e-like creatures — roaming undetected throughout the [...]
Lake Champlain Thunderbird
The Lake Champlain Sea Serpent in “Feathery Form” Visits Elizabethtown Clinton County papers report that the Lake Champlain Sea Serpent was seen off Cumberland Head early last week. Reputable men who were returning from Plattsburgh to their home on Cumberland Head discovered the huge monster performing in the water and but a short distance from the shore. We quote the following lines from the Plattsburgh Sentinel of Sept. 21, 1894: “That it was a living monster of some kind, there is no room to doubt. Indeed, we have never seriously questioned the substantial accuracy of the numerous accounts of this [...]
History Channel Visit
I’m taking a break from working with the History Channel crew that is here now. They are setting up the place for an interview with me to be shown on a forthcoming cryptozoology series. Lighting always takes more than people who haven’t gone through this can imagine. There’s the sunlight coming in from outside, the light bouncing off glass, the backlight, frontlight, right or left side shooting angle, and more. It does take awhile. They are working hard, but don’t want a soda. They are on task. The crew has been in Maine for a few days, taping interviews upstate, [...]

Laughing At Ghosts In Maine Woods
John Richardson followed up his earlier article on the eastern panther survey with a short column on March 24, 2007, entitled “Seeing ‘ghosts’ in the Maine woods.” Today’s commentary has the classic framework of beginning and ending paragraphs, which in typical journalistic style, are used to bring balance into the tone of the article: For an animal that’s supposed to be extinct in the eastern United States, mountain lions have sure been getting around the Maine woods….So if you think you’ve seen a mountain lion, you aren’t crazy. You may not even be wrong. And you certainly are not alone.John [...]
