Will the above “mummy” displace efforts to seriously study the “Johor Bigfoot”? As previously mentioned here, the group the Seekers have decided to sell the oft-photographed Johor Bigfoot footcast (see below). The cast is the one that Joshua Gates, the host of the Sci-Fi Channel’s Destination: Truth, and his producer Neil Mandt were filming in Johor, last February. Their reality program does not seem to be on the fall schedule, however. Syed Abdullah (left) and Dr. Kenny Fong with the Singapore-based group, SPI, are shown above with the cast. The importance of this cast to the Seekers has waded. That [...]
Cryptozoologists Will Always Have Paris
Dr. Marie-Jeanne Koffmann During a forthcoming conference in Paris on October 14, 2006, cryptozoologists and hominologists will meet and discuss items of cryptozoological interest. (The French language overview of the meeting can be found below the Richard Klyver illustration of the Almas.) At the gathering, zoologist François de Sarre will discuss unknown hairy hominoids. Michel Meurger, who wrote a book about his sociological thoughts on lake monsters, will also be speaking on other matters. Michel Raynal, Jean Roche, and Jean-Luc Rivera, all well-known French cryptozoologists, shall be attending apparently, as well. Dr. Marie-Jeanne Koffmann, one of the world’s top researchers [...]
Do Russians Have a Bigfoot Carcass?
Is there a Russian-held Bigfoot carcass, which, unlike the Minnesota Iceman pictured above here, still physically exists for examination? Could the search for the best sea otter furs have resulted in the source of the best evidence for Bigfoot ever known? Sometimes, during Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, surprising stories are shared during the call-ins. In the last hour of the overnight appearance of Jeff Meldrum’s and John Bindernagel’s discussion of Bigfoot, September 21-22, an American living in the Ukraine telephoned into the talk-radio program. The credible-sounding individual had an intriguing account. The man identified himself as an [...]
Cryptozoology Exhibit Moves To Kansas City
Alexis Rockman’s art is at Bates College. Have you seen Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale yet? You better hurry. There are museums across the country that give unique learning opportunities through the gateway of cryptozoology. I encourage everyone – friends, fans, parents, teachers, professors – to look to the museums and exhibitions that are popular and fun for students and youth and you! For example, the on-going exhibition Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale continues in Maine, at Bates College, through October 8, 2006. Then it moves to Missouri. If you wish to see it, have your class tour [...]
Teachers and Friends: Plan Your CZ Tours & Lectures
Alexis Rockman’s art is at Bates College. Have you seen Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale yet? You better hurry. From Thylacines to Yowies, from Sasquatch to Sea Serpents, from Mothman to Malaysian Mawas, there’s a museum near you that is waiting for your visit. If you are a teacher, now is the time to schedule your classroom’s visit. Professors and teachers who add cryptozoology to their lesson plans find out quickly that more students become interested in what there is to learn in natural history, zoology, biology, and other life sciences. In North America, the school year has begun [...]
“Mysterious & Kooky”
Strange Maine’s Michelle Souliere has written an excellent, in-depth July 20th blog reviewing the Bates Museum of Art’s show. Her long critique “Cryptozoology Exhibit: Mysterious & Kooky” has many photos of the art and shares her good insights. It is merely one of those wonderful coincidences that I just posted something this morning about Marc Swanson’s sculpture that is located in this show. As fate would have it, what would appear in the blogsphere but Michelle with Swanson’s Yeti at Bates: Michelle starts off her review by taking us, with her husband, along on her trek… Tristan and I decided [...]
Cool Yetis
It is so hot lately in the northern hemisphere, perhaps thoughts should turn to snow, snowmen, Abominable Snowmen, and Yetis. Over at Boing Boing, David Pescovitz has an intriguing post about a “Yeti skin rug.” Pescovitz writes: UK artist Debra Swann transforms everyday materials “into fantastical objects” such as Sellotape animal exoskeletons, faux taxidermy made from dried plants, and this beautiful Yeti Skin Rug. This reminds me of Marc Swanson’s White Yeti (a/k/a “Killing Moon”) – below – that is presently on exhibition at Bates College’s Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale. Swanson’s Yeti has been sighted before, in different [...]
Help Wanted
It looks like there’s been some candidates, so this search is over, at The Anomalist, for now. Thank you. However, in a few days, I may be more formally asking for unpaid interns or volunteers to assist me with the next and future phases of the Portland, Maine-based International Cryptozoology Museum, in which you can have a chance to work closely with me. In the meantime, if you are a Maine-located go-getter, please write me at lcoleman at maine.rr.com to begin an email exchange about this.
Happy 12th
The Crookston Bigfoot with some guy in front of him, 2005, photographed by friend and author Joe Citro. This Wednesday, July 12th, is my birthday. I’m planning now for a big cryptozoology party in 2007, for my 60th (which feels really young to me, of course). Therefore, today, I am going to get personal, and publish my wish list a year ahead of time (you know, beyond good health and wellness wishes for my sons, friends, former lovers, family, and all Cryptomundo readers). Click the above photo for a full-size version of Jeffrey Vallance presenting his Bigfoot Diagram to me [...]
Mothman + 40
After the success of The Mothman Prophecies, the sleepy town of Point Pleasant has reawakened.

The 5th annual MOTHMAN FESTIVAL will be held here in downtown Point Pleasant on Saturday and Sunday, September 16th and 17th, 2006. This year will mark the 40th anniversary of MOTHMAN’s debut appearance near the TNT area back in November of 1966 and plans for this year’s festival are already underway. The success and magnitude of the MOTHMAN FESTIVAL [...]
