Mokele Kidnapping?
What happened on the shores of Lisbon Falls that shook me to my core? I was shocked by the point of reference shown in the midst of this melodrama. I certainly can die now. My legacy has been set in video at YouTube. Performance art, cryptofiction cinema, or just incredibly funny? What have I inspired? +++++ An additional comment, perhaps even a clarification: All joking aside, I feel humbled that these creative young people would construct a passion play, complete with imagined scenarios and out-of-place accents, using my book as a prop. It is wonderful to see this unfold in [...]
The Sasquatch Gang Chapter Comics
The Sasquatch Gang movie opens next week, and a good article about the illustrations in the film can be found here. The Sasquatch Gang is broken into chapters, each separated by a comic-book-style illustration by artist Shawn McManus (“The Sandman,” “Swamp Thing”). Here are some samples, which give a feeling this movie may be weirdly Fortean and Bigfoot-aware. There are more examples, and you can make these bigger at the Comic Book Resources site.
Alien Big Cat Footage
In this clip from “Animal X,” you can see a sampling of various “Alien Big Cats” videotapes, which exist of the usually black unknown felines seen in the “mysterious British countryside, a region rich in history and deep routed legends.” The following is allegedly footage of the mysterious “Beast of Banff,” showing an Alien Big Cat from Banffshire, Scotland. Finally, the comic cultural impact of these sightings is demonstrated in the “Beast of Bodmin.”
Sasquatch: A Love Story (Director’s Cut)

Japan’s Standing Panda & More Video
Did you know that this strange bipedal behavior of a standing red panda has been all the rage in Japan? Here’s a fun video on a diversity of the following noted Fortean and cryptozoological topics, which ends with a suggested solution to the Standing Panda’s appearance. Mothman; Chupacabras; Bigfoot (with a ghost face in the background); Tsuchinoko (crypto-creature famous in Japan); Nessie; Alien with FBI/KGB/Gestapo agents (actually a “Talk of the Times” newspaper hoax); Flatwoods Monster; The Doll with growing hair (another typically Japanese Forteana); Aliens play with cattle mutilations; Crop circles, by drawing Doraemon; A play on a famous [...]
The Sasquatch Gang Sets Bigfoot Studies Back 30 Years
A promotional photograph for The Sasquatch Gang may say it all. From what I’ve seen after an extended view of all the trailers I could find, the contemporarily-framed film The Sasquatch Gang may be one of the lamest Bigfoot movies ever made. The Sasquatch Gang sets back serious Bigfoot studies and Sasquatch research by 30 years to the era of bad Bigfoot paperbacks, fake footprints and mullet haircuts. (If that’s the endorsement they were searching for from me, there it is.) Beginning November 30, 2007, in limited release, to be followed by broad national screenings, The Sasquatch Gang hits theaters [...]
Halloween Premiere: Monsterquest
During the year, the crew from this show came to Maine, Texas, and a lot of other places across North America. Don’t be surprised if you see some familiar faces in this series, including people you know in the first mini-documentary ever about an all-women Bigfoot expedition. Monsterquest, which debuts this fall, will take a scientific look at “creature” sightings around the world. History announced its 13-episode order for Monsterquest. There will be episodes on “monsters” such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Swamp Beast and the Creature of Snellgrove Lake. The series — described as one part history, one [...]
Bigfoot Film: Happy 40th Anniversary
Once upon a time there were Sasquatch sightings and no film of a Bigfoot in the bush. Those were the early days, before October 20, 1967, when only a few hunters, seekers, searchers, researchers and writers across North America compared notes via a thing called the postal service. Ideas about Bigfoot and Sasquatch were based on artist drawings and sighting descriptions, folklore and native art, and footprints and fecal droppings. In the Dark Time, before computers, email, the internet and stabilization software, the involved researchers, field workers, and authors, all one dozen or so of us, would send thermofax copies [...]
A Man and His (Weird) Museum
The Lewiston Sun Journal came for a visit to my museum. Here’s the way reporter Kathryn Skelton experienced it. And me. Weird, Wicked Weird A man and his (weird) museum Hair from Sir Edmund Hillary’s Yeti expedition, water from Loch Ness, a 9-foot latex pterodactyl, Loren Coleman’s got it all. Sometime next spring, Loren Coleman’s getting a 12-foot-long replica of Canada’s Ogopogo lake monster. It’ll probably have to stay on the porch, near his 8.5-foot-tall, oxen-haired Bigfoot. Coleman is a little pressed for space indoors. There’s already a 9-foot latex pterodactyl camouflaged by an avocado tree and a cabinet of [...]
