Here, below, is the one photograph that has been released, thusfar, of the Maine Mystery Cat, taken from a homeowner’s backyard in Sidney, Maine. The photo is from a digital camera, and the pixels give this felid a less than sharp configuration. But as you can see from reading the past blogs on this matter, the downloading of the camera, from the testimony of the photo lab owner, speaks well for this image to have not been Photoshopped. But that has not stopped others from using various techniques to manipulate this image. While no one seems to have seen a [...]

New Maine Mystery Cat Photo Details
Click on image for full size version Maine officials taking big cat photo seriously By Kathryn Skelton , Staff Writer Friday, June 29, 2007 A photo making e-mail rounds Thursday [June 28, 2007] that shows what looks like a big, rare cat in a Sidney backyard is real, according to the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife spokesman. Whether that’s actually a mountain lion leaning on a rock wall is up in the air. The cat’s tail, the easiest way to tell a bobcat from a mountain lion, is hidden by a tree. “That’s why we’re sending someone out there,” [...]
Breaking: New Mystery Cat Photo
Lewiston, Maine’s Sun Journal’s morning edition for Friday, June 29th, will be breaking the story of a new sighting and photograph of the following Mystery Cat. Click on image for full size version This new photograph was taken near Sidney, Maine, in the central part of the state. Game wardens feel it shows proof of a mountain lion. Others at the newspaper are expressing some skepticism. The cat photograph is clearly not a domestic cat, and does show the typical nose pattern, chest white hair, and overall structure of a mountain lion (puma, cougar, painter, panther, and other names). This [...]
Men of Cryptozoology: Chad Arment
Chad Arment (1972 – ) is the creator and moderator of the first specifically cryptozoology email list, founder of a publishing company, and author/editor/publisher of cryptozoology books. His interest in cryptozoology began in the fourth grade when he read Marian Place’s On the Track of Bigfoot (Dodd Mead, 1974). He casually studied the subject until high school, then began actively to investigate reports of unusual animals wherever he was living. Specific cryptids he has tracked include a mystery cougar, giant snakes, and an unknown hairy biped, all in Maryland, and a mystery cat in Ohio. Chad Arment self-published a pamphlet [...]
Maine’s Mysterious Black Panthers
The Wireless News Flash has sent out a breaking news dispatch on the Maine sheep killings to their 800 worldwide media outlets: Portland, Maine (Wireless Flash) — Earlier this week a mysterious beast killed 29 sheep in Lincoln County, Maine, but oddly enough the animal didn’t eat any lamb chops. Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, author of “Mysterious America” (Paraview Pocket Books), says the answer to the attack might be found in black panthers, who aren’t indigenous to North America, but could be making a comeback and preying on unexpecting livestock. Coleman says there have been recent sightings of the dangerous cougars [...]
Salt & Pepper Aussie Panthers
From the reality of a new report of a white, perhaps even an albino, mystery panther in Australia, to a novel video comedy on the search for black or melanistic Aussie felines, let’s stay with panthers a bit longer today. “I WASN’T drinking and definitely no funny smokes. I think it was this mystery ancient animal people talk about that was here.” Rossville resident Jim Stone is not laughing off the mysterious creature he saw running through his property near the Bloomfield Valley on a Sunday afternoon last month. And his son’s partner, JaJa Elliot, also was stunned when she [...]
Something’s Savaging Lee Straw’s Sheep
Something’s killing Lee Straw’s sheep. Most of his flock is kept safe on remote islands, just off the rugged New England coast. But many of the rest, over the past week, have been slaughtered by a mysterious and vicious killer. If this were most parts of rural North America, dead livestock would just be part of the cycle of life. But in Maine — where Stephen King-approved dark imagery covers every unexplained and bloody happening — the twin mass killings of Straw’s flock is quickly becoming the stuff of legend and speculation. Last Sunday [June 3, 2007], the frustrated herder [...]
Maddening Mystery of Maine Mutant Muddled
The dead dog near the road was photographed by Michelle O’Donnell, Turner, Maine, August 2006. Click on the image to make it bigger. The Maine Mystery Beast is back. Well, at least, the animal discovered next to Route 4, which was incorrectly labeled as the killer of livestock and pets, is. Mark LaFlamme called yesterday, and interviewed me about the claims of a Florida woman that the dog probably killed by a vehicle barreling down Route 4 was her’s. Anything is possible, but the problem with this whole new sidebar to last summer’s sensational story rests in the matter of [...]
