This is the footcast found by Joshua Gates of Sci Fi Channel while on a recent Malaysian Bigfoot expedition. Consider the possibilities behind this track and share with Cryptomundo what you observe and consider significant to notice in this cast (below, under comments): Could it be…. A track representation of the Malaysian Mawas? Or Orang Dalam? Or what? How a footprint left by a giant ape survivor related to Gigantopithecus would appear? The reason the finds of the True Giant footprints seem to be four-toed? A reality television prank to see if people believe it? A Malaysian-produced hoax? What? What [...]
Who Was On That Malaysian Expedition?
An explosion of media attention today…at least three articles hitting the internet…news of an expedition…backing by a television show…a photograph of a footprint…and more. Fasten your seat belts. Sometimes it is only location and funding that separate cryptozoologists from the action. As I’ve been suggesting for weeks, Malaysian scientists are the obvious choices for going into the rainforest to look for their own "Bigfoot" first. Reports now from a London paper indicate that a team of "paranormal investigators," including an Australian tracker, a filmmaker from Los Angeles, a reality film crew, and apparently a British reporter are in hot pursuit [...]

Prominent Pennsylvania Puma Seeker Dies
Cryptomundo Exclusive Obituary On Saturday, February 18, 2006, at 6:05 AM, in Pennsylvania, one of the country’s best-kept-secrets, a modest but renowned behind-the-scenes eastern cougar hunter passed away. Roger Cowburn, 77, of Potter County, Pennsylvania, died. Roger Cowburn of Galeton, Pennslyvania, is a member of the Eastern Puma Research Network, a group actively searching for evidence that eastern panthers are still found in parts of eastern North America. (G. Parker) The Penn State’s Nittany Lions are nationally known, mostly as a football team. But the “Nittany Lions” didn’t pop out of the air as a name. Nittany is the mountain [...]
Are Malaysian Bigfoot Colonies Really Orangutans?
National pride, long term observations, reports of a colony, and a supposedly novel theory are the breaking news out of Malaysia today. But wait a minute, is the Johor Wildlife Protection Society merely talking about orangutans? News out of Malaysia on February 18, 2006, indicates that the Johor Wildlife Protection Society says they have: scientific evidence to prove the existence of Bigfoot whose reported sightings recently in the Johor jungles have excited the world’s media. Not just one Bigfoot but a whole colony of the giant, hairy creatures which the society named "Orang Lenggor" (Lenggor People) as one was spotted [...]
Malaysian Bigfoot: Footprint Photos & Drawing
The media items from Malaysia of the ongoing Bigfoot investigations, of course, are sounding less and less like the traditional Pacific Northwest Bigfoot. No surprise there. More elaborate photographs of the track finds have been published, and illustrations of the folk art representing the creatures have been printed, as well. The Asian Paranormal Investigation findings run 49 pages long, and, in essence, deconstructs the media and wonders if there’s a “Bigfoot” at all behind the sightings. The API report concludes the encounters are with Malay orangutans. Of course, cryptozoologically speaking, this would still be a worthy discovery, as orangutans have [...]
Behind the Illinois Bigfoot Flap
Am I surprised to hear there is news of Bigfoot reports coming out of Illinois? Of course not. Illinois was my stomping grounds from 1947-1975, and the area has a long history of encounters. What is surprising is who has shown up to use a relatively recent sighting to get more media attention. Tom Biscardi is back. The notorious 1970s Bigfoot trickster and Ivan Marx associate, who attempted to pull off the “send in your money and see the Bigfoot I’ve captured” trickery on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, may be in a neighborhood near you. Beware. Rapidly [...]

The Ray Wallace Debate
Part I Ray Wallace continues to be the bone of contention in Bigfoot studies. It is time to expunge the databases of his negative contributions, and look at the real evidence for Sasquatch more clearly. It goes beyond a West versus East struggle, despite what some writers would have your believe. In Cryptomundo, over at “Wooly Booger’s Bigfoot Report,” you can find the final segment of John Green’s talk at Willow Creek in 2003. Sorry to say this, but some boneheaded comments of John Green’s are repeated therein. First off, to answer those readers of this blog who appear to [...]
