Bigfoot in TV Guide
Scores of people in the media find their way to me, oftentimes to ask where they can obtain this or that image. In the case of the recent series of Bigfoot movies on the Sci-Fi Channel, TV Guide approached me asking if I could help them with the rights to a frame from the Patterson-Gimlin film. Needless to say, I sent them to Mrs. Patterson and René Dahinden’s heirs to purchase and obtain permission. For people that missed it, here’s what TV Guide produced: Please click on the image for a full size version. Interestingly, the editorial board room discussions [...]
NPR
As many of you know, as a consultant and volunteer, I am extensively involved in preventing and solving a significant Homo sapiens behavioral mystery – suicide-related school shootings.

Sabine River Monster Photo
Coast to Coast AM’s website has posted the following image of an unknown creature swimming on its back, as seen in the Sabine River, near where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The Sabine River forms the border between Texas and Louisiana near the reported point of this picture/sighting.

Click on image for full-size version Photograph by Michelle O’Donnell. Used by permission. In “Mystery Monster Dogs Maine” Radford overviews the story, getting all the facts right, more so than most retellings of the events. He even quotes me correctly: When Maine monster hunter Loren Coleman was shown a photo of the creature on Aug. 13, he stated, “This is a dog, probably a feral dog or a hybrid, but a dog.” Then Radford mentions [...]
Mothman Producer Dies
Executive producer Barry Conrad (above, right) and his producer partner Lisa McIntosh (above, left) have been working on their documentary project about the Flatwoods Monster, Kelly Creatures, and Mothman for over five years. Their production company has completed several documentaries that have been broadcast on the Biography, A&E, Discovery, Sci-Fi and TLC channels.

They did this, intriguingly, in a live production event in [...]
