Ever wanted your own personalized cryptid? Well, for twenty bucks you can have your idea envisioned by an artist who quickly draws your desire, via Monster by Mail. (See more ordering info at the bottom of this posting.) Thanks to Rogier van Bakel, I heard about this artist, Len Peralta who is in the midst of drawing a very limited number (150) of “Cryptozoo” cryptids. Getting in contact with Len, I challenged the artist to do an original hand-drawn sample of his specially imagined “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” with a Yeti, Nessie, Bigfoot, Mothman, and Dover Demon, and email me the result.

Rare Giant Turtle Found
Rare giant turtle found in Mekong One of the world’s largest turtles, said to be on the brink of extinction, has been found in abundance in a former Khmer Rouge stronghold in Cambodia. The giant turtle has rubbery skin and a powerful bite Conservationists discovered an 11kg (24lb) female Cantor’s giant soft-shell turtle and a nesting ground during a survey of the country’s Mekong River. The species, which can grow two metres (6ft) long and weigh 50kg (110lb) was last spotted in Cambodia in 2003. Scientists say the find could help save it from disappearing off the planet.

The Dark Final Days of SITU
Did you know that the vast files and library of a great cryptozoological and Fortean organization were raped clean in their final days? If you read closely through the long list of cryptozoology books being offered for sale by Robert Girard, you will note that some are marked with “S. I. T. U.” in them. A few have “ex S.I.T.U. library, their stamp on title page,” reports Girard. Of course, these books he lists, no doubt, came legally into the hands of some collectors who have emptied their stock with Girard, but it merely reminded me of the sad ending [...]

NJ Black Panther Photos
Here are the photos of the “black panther” seen in and around Vineland, New Jersey, from Saturday, April 28, 2007. Many local residents have seen it and after a news report appeared on local television on April 30, Monday night, police headquarters was deluged with calls. More than 30 people dialed in saying they had seen the animal during April 2007. This animal was big, really big. It could be the size of a German shepherd. More than 80 pounds for sure. They’re saying they found a 20- to 30-pound cat in the field. But something that size would be [...]

1977: Year Of The Creature
After I posted this morning’s blog “Flashback: Thirty Year Ago – South Dakota Bigfoot,”” about a Bigfoot flap taking place in 1977, Scott Maruna at The Anomalist commented: “Come to think of it, there were a lot of flaps going on that year.” Indeed, there were. The anniversary of the Dover Demon sightings (April 21-22, 1977) is rapidly approaching. On April 21, 2007, I’ll be a guest on the “Dover Demon” 30th Anniversary Special (“Dover Demon” is a chapter in Mysterious America), from 10 pm to Midnight, on the Eastern Spooky Southeast broadcast, on WBSM-AM, 1420 AM, New Bedford, Massachusetts.
