Anyone from Ohio or West Virginia? I’m looking for a Mothman death list photo. Mothman image, copyright 2002, created by cryptozoology illustrator William Rebsamen for Mothman and Other Curious Encounters In the Charleston Daily Mail of March 20, 2006, in “Mothman has his own museum,” reporter Samantha L. Thomas, discussing the collection in Point Pleasant, mentions: One attention grabber is the “death list” displayed prominently in the middle of the museum. It draws connections between the sudden or strange deaths of those associated in some way with the Mothman legend. I wonder, does anyone have a photograph of this display, [...]
MA HB Ends
It is Friday, March 31 (a day I predicted on Wednesday we would hear about earthquakes). This day will see the hardcover and paperback editions of Mysterious America from Paraview go out of print. No more hardback copies of Mysterious America again. Famed natural history artist Alexis Rockman painted the cover depicting a real encounter he and his associates had with a giant catfish. Your last day to buy either paperbound or hardbound copies of Mysterious America online is today.
Voice of America’s Crypto-Disaster
The Voice of America is, well, supposed to be the factual voice of America, correct? How can we trust them if they can’t broadcast a story about cryptozoology without getting it so very, very wrong? I have taken the transcript of the Voice of America’s newly broadcast "Mysterious Creatures: Are Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster Real or False?" and have annotated their italicized text with my corrections and comments. VOICE ONE: This is Phoebe Zimmerman. VOICE TWO: And this is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English program EXPLORATIONS. Many people in America’s Pacific Northwest believe in the existence [...]
Ely Footage Is Back
It’s back. The "forgotten footage" of the Ely Sasquatch has returned. Perhaps this is only important for viewing for those that didn’t see it’s brief appearance before? Maybe this “news” is only significant for Bigfoot historians interested in documenting the exact ups and downs of this story? Whatever the reason, Cryptomundo wants to alert you to the news, and you do with it what you wish. It is intriguing to figure out what is going on here, because it is certainly unclear who is putting this video up again. Did someone take a capture-copy of the recently removed video and [...]
Bigfoot Songs
The rising tide of interest in The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang continues, and now takes a musical turn. Cryptomundo has kept you informed about how this film won at Slamdance, and of its acclaim. Now comes word that a big music corporation has lined up for an associated contract. The Hollywood Reporter notes today that Sony BMG Music Entertainment has signed the U.S. rights to Tim Skousen’s The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang. The film was the 2006 Slamdance Film Festival audience award winner. Bringing together the people that brought us Napoleon Dynamite, the buzz is so loud about this film, it is [...]
20,000 Leagues Director Dies
Richard Fleischer, who directed the 1954 sci-fi movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, has died of natural causes at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital in Woodland Hills, California, on March 25, 2006. He was 89. Fleischer’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is best remembered by cryptofiction fans for its famed scene of the giant squid attacking Captain Nemo’s submarine, the Nautilaus, a major motion picture achievement of its day. The movie was based on Jules Vernes science fiction story of the same name, which was based on true reports of cryptid-style encounters with the giant squid or Kraken. The [...]
Ely Video Is Back
In only a few days this week, the Ely Sasquatch Video has been posted, removed, enhanced, re-posted in “regular” and “closeup” versions, then new footage found that was posted, and finally, yesterday, all of the footage was removed. After the removal, Richard Sade posted a comment at my Cryptomundo blog, “Ely Footage Removed,” which read simply: “The world is not ready for what I wanted to show them.” Then very late last night, Richard Sade re-posted his “closeup” segment. The footage can now (while it lasts) be viewed here. Also, Sade placed this note with the late March 24th newly [...]
Cryptozoo Museums Worldwide
What and where are your favorite cryptozoology and Bigfoot museums throughout the world? Scotland’s cryptozoology collection at the National Museums of Scotland was recently highlighted in the Scotsman. The easiest exhibits to record, unfortunately, are often the hoaxes. Shown here are a Japanese-made mermaid and a Canadian-created furred trout, both taxidermy fakes. Dr. Geoff Swinney (below), Curator of Lower Vertebrates, Fish, Amphibians and Reptiles, National Museums of Scotland, examines the vertebrae of the Beast of Stronsay, from the carcass of the beast found on an Orkney island beach in 1808. Swinney, who is the resident cryptozoologist, in 1987, confirmed the [...]
Ely Footage Removed
The Ely Sasquatch Videoes (two original segments and the “forgotten” footage just discovered) have been removed by Richard Sade from the internet. While the BFRO was involved in assisting with placing a copyright on the video and enlarging the first segment, they were not responsible for withdrawing it, they exclusively tell Cryptomundo this evening. According to a source deep in that organization, the BFRO related to your Cryptomundo correspondent tonight: “No, we didn’t have the video removed. [The BFRO has] been back and forth with Mr. Sade on email, and his story has become increasingly shaky and frustrating. It’s a [...]
Ely Sasquatch Video
An intriguing new video taken in Ely, Minnesota, in January 2006, by a person named Richard Sade has surfaced. The footage is of what Sade, at one point, calls the “Ely Bigfoot.” In another posting, Sade terms this the “Sasquatch Video.” I will call it simply the “Ely Sasquatch Video.” There is a regular version to view here. And a closeup here. From the site where it can be seen, this is the background on the Ely Sasquatch Video: Information regarding the footage. I was on highway 169 in Ely, Northern Minnesota. The date was January 26th, 2006. The time [...]
