Men in Cryptozoology: Irv Kornfield
While a self-described skeptic, this Maine scientist deserves recognition of the pivotal role he now serves within cryptozoology, during this age of DNA analysis for every physical sample found. Irv Kornfield is one of the good guys, actually. Irv Kornfield has a black, furry nugget that looks like a knuckle from the Turner Beast in his freezer. There’s also a chunk of once-suspected Nova Scotia sea monster in the back. A nationally known DNA expert, Kornfield has run the forensic lab at the University of Maine for all of its 10 years. His usual work is wildlife and poaching cases. [...]
Sasquatch Smackdown: Tara Hauki vs Jon-Erik Beckjord
It’s stuff like this that gives hominology a bad name. I don’t especially like to report on scandals and personal disagreements. However, there seems to be something happening on the fringes of Bigfootry that might boil over into public media exposure, jail time or a court confrontation. Therefore, I should at least give you a chance to know it’s occurring, mention highlights of both sides of the story, and then you can decide to read more about it or not. It involves Tara Hauki (above) of Happy Camp, California, and Jon-Erik Beckjord (pictured below) of the San Francisco Bay Area. [...]
Crowe’s Bigfoot Newsletter Has Died
A long-time member of the Western Bigfoot Society (sometimes called the International Bigfoot Society) just emailed me that Ray Crowe is officially discontinuing his monthy meetings, and his long-time Bigfoot newsletter, The Track Record. It is well known that Ray has had a long battle with heart disease and diabetes, which is contributing to his decision. At this point, the future of the WBS and the The Track Record may be elusive, as the status of the 501(c)3 may now be in jeopardy or soon gone. Discussions by the membership are expected soon on how to continue Ray Crowe’s work [...]
Yahoo Picks Cryptomundo
The following is up and active on the Yahoo home page. Click on the direct link below noted at their “Cryptomundo” title for all of the hyperlinks Yahoo has added to the exchange.

DarkLore Cometh!
One of the things that happened as I was finishing Bigfoot! (published in 2003) was that Ray Wallace died on November 26, 2002. I added some details, post-proofs, to my book, but there is much that can be said about what happened, after Wallace died. The entire landscape of Sasquatch studies was changing rapidly. Grover Krantz had died on February 14, 2002. I surprised many people because I was behind exposing what Wallace had done, and took to heart that Bigfoot research would be better off if we began looking closely at Wallace’s legacy. I’ve now written two examinations of [...]
Happy Halloween, Cryptomundians!
I know what a lot of you do. Your day sort of starts off slowly, or ends like Sloop in that other Portland. As he says: So, I’ve been bored at work and stumbled upon lots of weird websites, like Cryptomundo, Forgetomori…Sloop Research indicates 63% of you, that’s right, you, our audience, are regular visitors to this site. That’s encouraging. I’m glad we are saying enough here of interest to keep you coming back. How involved and visible are we? It appears someone coined a name to talk about us, obviously including you, the regulars, this week: Cryptomundians. A blogster [...]
Identikit Used In Cryptozoology Discoveries
Drawings of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda) by artist Stephen Nash were used in Peru to rediscover the primate. The use of identikit illustrations in support of the cryptozoology method is demonstrated often. The objective is to discovery what is already ethnoknown, in terms of local wildlife. Drawings from scratch, under the direction of locals, are a source of primary information. But oftentimes, identikit materials are used in the field for gathering and fine-tuning visual information. Sometimes, if available, a photograph shown to local residents and indigenous peoples is successful in gathering more data on new animals. This is [...]

The History Channel debuts “MonsterQuest” Wednesday October 31st, 2007. The following is their press release regarding a summary of the series, and details on what is to be on each program.
