In addition to Loren Coleman’s July 20, 2008, talk at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmondton, Canada, on “Dragons and Cryptozoology,” new presentations have been scheduled now for other groups.
World-Famous Thylacine Researcher Dies
Eric Guiler. Courtesy of Chris Rehberg. Tasmania’s and probably the world’s leading authority on Thylacines, Eric Guiler, has died. Dr. Eric Guiler, 85, died on Thursday, July 3, 2008, after six years of ill-health following a stroke. His friends are amazed he survived for this length of time, as the word from Australia and Tasmania immediately after his stroke was that he was “near death.” A little known fact, shared among a few cryptozoologists at the time, is that Guiler suffered his last stroke while out in the bush looking for Thylacine signs. It was feared he was going to [...]
Nonfiction Stephen King
Loren Coleman of Portland talks about cryptozoology, or the study of unknown and undiscovered animals, on Saturday, July 5, 2008, at Fort Knox. (Bangor Daily News/Bridget Brown) Over the weekend, unbeknownst to me, the Bangor Daily News ran an online article about the conference being held up at Prospect, Maine. Here’s part of what they had to say online and in their newspaper today (I couldn’t help myself, however, as I’ve corrected the various wrong ways the paper spelled “Bigfoot”): Loren Coleman, often referred to as “Maine’s nonfiction Stephen King,” sat behind a table filled with models and artwork of [...]

Western Bigfoot Society: Bluff Creek & Beelart
The following is the overview of Ray Crowe’s Western Bigfoot Society (the WBS is no longer called the International Bigfoot Society) meeting of June 28, 2008, by the man who did the talking, Joseph “Joe” Beelart. So there will be no confusion by those chroniclers of this history, Beelart was interested in seeing these notes published and approached me. I agreed after an exchange of notes about some suggested grammar and clarification edits from my end that would be necessary for me to see this on Cryptomundo. You will note that Joe Beelart is one of the sources of the [...]
Biscardi Blows Fox Broadcast

Todd Neiss, with the American Primate Research Group, passes this breaking news along, moments ago: Tom Biscardi was just featured in Fox News this morning (6:25am – PST) with regard to an alleged Bigfoot sighting in the Catskills of New York. I have to say his interview was classic Biscardi…pathetic. At first, Biscardi said that he flew in [to the Catskills] last Thursday and had already gathered evidence. Then he stated [...]
Loren Coleman Talk, July 5, 2008
Fort Knox is a beautiful setting, about 2.5 hours drive north of Portland, Maine. I will give an hour long talk/Q&A at next weekend’s event there, usually outdoors with artifacts, props and exhibits from my museum. When not doing that, I’ll entertain questions about cryptozoology and Bigfoot at my display table, sign books you bring for me to autograph, and sell a few books. If in Maine, come stop by and chat. Here’s the official description from the old historic fort’s website: Paranormal & Psychic Faire, Fort Knox, Maine July 5th and 6th, 2008. Meet with people who believe in [...]
Healthwatch: The Horsemen of Sasquatchery
Peter von Puttkamer’s classic 1999 documentary, Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot has brought into our everyday jargon a phrase well-known in today’s hominology, “The Four Horsemen of Sasquatchery.” They weren’t called the “Four Horsemen of Sasquatchery” because of the film. It is because of a drawing by my late friend Eric Devoreg. It first appeared on my wall…then on the cover of Ray Crowe’s Western Bigfoot Society’s newsletter a few years before the film. Eric was a student of Grover Krantz and became interested in Bigfoot because of his association with him. Sadly Eric died in his sleep at [...]
Champ Enthusiast Off To China
Cryptozoology will soon have another friend in China. Champ enthusiast, Winooski (Vermont) native and Brandeis University student Eli Harrington will leave Friday, June 27, 2008, for an eight-week internship at Voice of America’s Beijing bureau and will likely report on activities at the Summer Olympics. Maybe he’ll report on the Yeren too? Or those mysterious Chinese lake monsters, in his spare time? The opportunity came together quickly, Harrington said. Brandeis encourages internships and work experience, and one of his professors mentioned Harrington, 20, to a former colleague who worked for Voice of America. After a few phone interviews, he was [...]
