Joey Bishop’s Patterson Bigfoot Link
Joey Bishop’s publicist and longtime friend, Warren Cowan, announced Bishop died from multiple causes at home in Newport Beach, California, on Wednesday, October 17, 2007, aged 89. Joey Bishop (February 3, 1918 – October 17, 2007) was perhaps best remembered as being a member of the “Rat Pack” with Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. He was the last survivor of that group of entertainers. The comedian, who often filled in for Johnny Carson, tried his own hand at a similar show in the 1960s. Few realize that Joey Bishop is part of the history of [...]
Tom Slick, Playboy Cryptozoologist
The early Tom Slick lived a life of wealth, from touring the shores of Loch Ness to the company of Howard Hughes in Beverly Hills. The once and future supporter of cryptozoology, Tom Slick, the son of a wealthy Texas oil millionaire, as a youth, shared a life that sounds very familiar to our ears today. For those living in the beginning of the 21st century, the son of another Texas oil millionaire is as near as the White House. Slick lived the trappings of influence and heritage seen in the Bush family. Slick, the Southwestern nonconformist in the East, [...]
Mystery Cat Investigator Dies
Word has reached Cryptomundo of the death of one of the major Midwestern figures researching the question of the reality of pumas existing in Missouri. Dave Hamilton (left), Missouri Conservation Department Resource wildlife biologist, is showing examining a 105 pound puma found killed on Highway 54 shortly before midnight August 11, 2003, near Fulton, Missouri. Discovery of dark spots on its flanks and hindquarters, and barring on the inside of its front legs caused Hamilton to change his mind from this being an older puma to a finding it was a year-and-half or year old animal. The Fulton animal was [...]
Discoverer of Lost Cities Dies
Gene Savoy Disappearing quickly are the days of the explorers who found lost cities in the jungles of South America, along with the other adventurers who cut their way through rainforests finding new animals and strange unknown native peoples. One of these apparent real “Indiana Jones” died last week. Here is part of Associated Press writer Martin Griffith’s remembrance: Douglas Eugene “Gene” Savoy, an explorer who discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru and led long-distance sailing adventures to learn more about ancient cultures, has died. He was 80. Savoy died of natural causes Tuesday [September 11, 2007] at [...]
Steve Irwin’s New Turtle Discovery
Steve Irwin’s father, Bob, pictured lower left, discusses the naming of the new turtle, lower right, after Steve. To round out the picture of the late Steve Irwin’s contributions to cryptozoology, beyond his search for Thylacines, it is worthy of mentioning that Steve Irwin discovered a new animal, a turtle, which has now been named after him. Television personality Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin and his father, Bob, caught a unknown turtle on a fishing line during a camping trip in 1990. It was new to them, and thus Steve took photographs and sent them to turtle authority John Cann. After [...]
For Sale: Yeti History
Eric Shipton, above, (August 1, 1907 – March 28, 1977), has a name that will live on forever within cryptozoology, in conjuction with the famed “1951 Shipton Yeti footprints photos.” Shipton found these tracks during his exploratory 1951 expedition in which he and his team worked out the now famous route over the Khumbu Glacier to assault Mount Everest. I thought the death on October 7, 2005, of Michael Ward, 80, closed a living chapter of that remarkable event and soon thereafter, more might be heard from Ward’s or Shipton’s estates. Ward was the medical doctor, along with Eric Shipton, [...]

He was 44. Crikey, I miss his sense of humor on new nature shows! Irwin’s death hit a lot of people deeply. The man who had such a large heart for animals, [...]
