Jenny, a Western lowland gorilla, was born in the wild and was acquired by the zoo in 1957.
Beckjord’s Bigfoot Sex Book
Erik Beckjord never wrote a book that was published, even privately. Why is there serious talk now of a phantom opus of his?
Tim Cullen Dies Suddenly
We pause to share word and sadness at the passing of a member of the Bigfoot community, who died suddenly of a heart attack ten days ago, the day before “Bigfoot Friday,” in Panama City, Florida. Image.
The Dark Knight Curse
A Batman beheading? Have people so quickly forgotten a recent tragedy? Heightened awareness of decapitations has occurred in the last few days due to the incidents in Brazil, Dubai, Greece, and, of course, the bus event in Canada (during the showing of The Legend of Zorro). Also, please note earlier The Mask of Zorro features Zorro’s/Diego’s brother’s beheading. In that Zorro movie, the decapitation is done by a sadistic, psychotic Texian Army Captain named Harrison Love. There remains no explanation of why the name “Badger” became the code word given to suspect Vincent Li of Edmonton, Alberta, by the law [...]
June 22, 2008: Erik Beckjord, 69, Dies
The Bad Boy of Bigfootry has lost his fight with cancer, and now the email and internet will be a bit quieter without his presence.
Loved To Tell Bigfoot Stories
Charles Perkins has passed away. He loved to tell Bigfoot stories, his official obituary says. He was a logger for many years, it mentions as well. Did Charles Perkins have stories anyone has recorded? Was he involved with Wallace Construction? Sometimes obits like this one make me wonder what deeper tales are to be learned. According to his local media, here’s what is recalled about Charles Perkins: A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 26 at the Creswell Presbyterian Church for Charles Sidney Perkins of Creswell, Oregon, who died July 19, 2008 of Alzheimer’s disease. [...]
Flashback: Grover Krantz
Now and then, it is good to pause and remember those who have passed into cryptozoology history. Anthropologist and Sasquatch hunter, the “Dr.” has left the house. Grover Krantz is recalled for many things, perhaps mostly by Cryptomundo readers for his research captured in the pages of Bigfoot Sasquatch: Evidence. To me, of all the men in the field I’ve met, he may have been one of the most gentle, most down-to-earth guys searching for Bigfoot, despite an overblown public counter-reputation for being sharp, fierce, and full of ego. To know Grover, as a person, was to truly like him. [...]
When Cryptozoologists Die
Bill Rebsamen’s tribute to Scott Norman, who passed away suddenly earlier in 2008. This may be a difficult essay for you to read, but this is a subject we all have ignored for a long time. There is a darker side that occurs after the obituaries and remembrances are written. What happens after the tributes are published? Why have we avoided the obvious, and watched legacies vanish? There are some things I’ve got to say. We shall pick up an existence by its frogs. Wise men have tried other ways. They have tried to understand our state of being, by [...]
Early Texas Big Bird Researcher Dies
Ken Gerhard, author of Big Bird! Modern Sightings Of Flying Monsters, sends along word of the death of Guadalupe Cantu III, a historically significant participant in Texas Big Bird matters: I was very saddened yesterday [July 8, 2008] to learn of the passing of my friend Guadalupe Cantu III recently. Guadalupe first rose to prominence in the classic cryptozoology book, [Creatures of the Other Edge] by Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman [(NY: Warner, 1978; reprinted, NY: Anomalist, 2006], when the authors had discovered the then teenage Cantu investigating Big Bird reports in San Benito, Texas. Years later, I rediscovered him [...]
