Bigfoot or bear? That does not seem to be the source of most inquiries about this photo any longer. With regard to the most frequent questions heard, they are about why more than one photograph was not taken. The Mt. Hood trailcam owner has forwarded these specifics: The fastest the camera can do is one picture a min. Then it takes a 30 sec. video. They are moition & heat responsive.The camera first takes a picture then about 1-2 seconds it starts a 30 sec. video. The video shows nothing [as] the animal already escaped; we try to put the [...]
Destination Truth: An Unreview
Why have there been no reviews of the June 6th broadcast of “Destination Truth,” which was hosted by Josh Gates? Where are the reviews? Did you see it? For me, it happened right in the middle of a week of activities that centered on my son’s awards assemblies and graduation, so I missed it. Did anyone watch it? The limited, six-episodes of the sixty-minute long series are being carried on the Sci-Fi Channel. It is executive produced by Neil and Michael Mandt for their Mandt Brothers Productions, whose credits include ESPN’s very popular “Jim Rome Is Burning” show. If you [...]
New Mt. Hood Mystery Photo
Click on image for full size version As the code tells anyone, this photograph was taken on June 7, 2007, at 7:11 p.m. by the same people who have had some luck with pictures from this same location. What do you think this latest trailcam image shows? I have some ideas, but I don’t want to bias anyone’s looking at this with an open mind. Before this new photo, the one before showed a close encounter of the elk kind. See these below to compare with the new one above, and the original “Bigfoot mystery” photo (at the bottom), which, [...]
Beau Monde Bust of Bigfoot
Want to get your hands around this beautiful bewitching bust of Bigfoot? Looking for a gift for Father’s Day? For Graduation Day? For a birthday for that ultimate cryptozoologist-in-training? Or the unforgettable present for a June wedding or summer baby shower? You may wish to pick up one of these limited editions of the bust (they are solid, resin, and seven pounds heavy) of the Crookston Bigfoot? The same artist Curtis Christensen, who made the Crookston Bigfoot, decided to hand-craft a few busts, and hand-paint each one, making no two exactly alike. From this…Christensen with his creation… …to the Bigfoot [...]
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 [...]
1981 Champ Conference
Were you there? Did you attend the August 1981 conference in Vermont, the first scientific seminar devoted to a study of the cryptids that have been reported lurking in the waters of Lake Champlain for the past 300 years? It sort of was the Woodstock of Champ. I was there. I wrote about the conference in Mysterious America. Here’s a sample what I saw and heard: In the morning session, Joseph Zarzynski ran down the historical background of the Champ sightings and introduced the audience of 200 people to the Sandra Mansi photograph. Projected on a wall-size screen in an [...]
New Enhanced Nessie Video
The first two moving gifs are enhancements of the Gordon Holmes Nessie video done by Bill Appleton. The following photo frame and drawing from that frame are newly posted by Gordon Holmes.
Otter Nonsense
Otters, of course, are responsible for a few misidentifications of Lake Monsters in bodies of water worldwide. In my The Field Guide to Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents, and Other Mystery Denizens of the Deep (co-authored by Patrick Huyghe), the fact that people do make mistakes when viewing mundane mammals on lakes and lochs is acknowledged. Otters, nevertheless, have never been seen as the root of all Lake Monsters accounts, as seemed to be expressed on CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now” last week by the guest skeptic. Otters are hardly in vogue any longer. Even Bernard Heuvelmans’ theory of the “super-otters,” as [...]
Nessie Footage Questions Focus On Filmmaker
Who is Gordon T. Holmes? What do we know about the man who took the Nessie footage in late May 2007? Does Gordon Holmes have visions of becoming the next Sherlock Holmes, following in the footsteps of that character’s creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? It is with no disrespect that I compile for my readers the facts that Mr. Holmes has placed out there in cyberspace about himself. He has freely admitted that he has filmed fairies, seen apparent alien black cats (ABCs, alien big cats, as they are often called because they are “out of place” or alien – [...]
The Lord God Bird Trailer
The Voice of America has announced that a new documentary film is in production about the ivory-billed woodpecker. The title of the new documentary by George Butler is The Lord God Bird. This film’s title, of course, reflects the name of the bestseller that appeared just as the news of the new video was hitting the media – Phillip Hoose’s The Race to Save the Lord God Bird (NY: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2004). However, Phillip has confirmed that his book is not the foundation of this documentary. The VOA’s low-key release follows: A North American bird believed to have [...]
