The date was September 12, 1952. The place, Flatwoods, West Virginia. On that crisp fall day, Kathleen May (pictured), Eugene Lemon, 17, Neal Nunley, 14, Eddie May, 13, Teddie May, 14, Ronald Shaver, 10, Teddie Neal, 10, Tommy Hyer, 10, and Lemon’s big old dog, climbed to the top of a hill and saw a “monster.” They immediately felt they had to run, as fast as they could, someplace. The huge dark figure with glowing eyes and a head “like the ace of spades” blocked their path. About 12 feet high (4 meters), the figure had a reddish face and [...]
Cryptid: Code Beyond Cryptozoology
The Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts held their Twenty-First Annual Conference in Portland, Maine, on November 1-4, 2007. It was called SLSA ’07: CODE. The conference was intellectually stimulating and extremely academic. One paper read told of ground-breaking implications for cryptozoology, as the term “cryptid” explodes beyond the boundaries of our field. But more of that later. Professor Susan McHugh, from her university website. I was humbled to be an invited guest of one of the conference organizers, the University of New England’s Susan McHugh, the author of Dog (Reaktion, 2004). McHugh is someone well aware of cryptozoology [...]
Mangy Comedic Relief
The following seems to be rather typical of how this story is being treated on local news stations:
Jacobs Mischief Continues
It is the 4th of November, and yet it is literally almost two weeks since the beginning of the “Jacobs creature” melodrama. Despite the repeating of this story endlessly by the media, there are new stories being written this Sunday about it as if it is news. This media flap beats to the drum of a different kind of absurdity. There are people – thanks to news stories such as on CNN News today – that are hearing about and seeing a Rick Jacobs photo for the first time, described as a “juvenile sasquatch.” At least one image (see above [...]
Darren’s Toys
Darren owns what he views as a “ridiculous collection of toy and models animals, including prehistoric animals, zoo/wild animals and farm animals. “
Chupacabras DNA Results Are In
Contributed Photo: Phylis Canion Well, no need to dwell on this one. We all saw this coming, and it appears only a few people and the media thought this was going to be anything different. The DNA results are back from tests run on the “Chupacabras” (as it was called) found by Phylis Canion, near Cuero, Texas, in July, 2007. The biologists at the Texas State University have announced that it is a coyote (Canis latrans). The DNA sequence is a virtually identical match to DNA from the coyote. This is probably the answer a lot of folks thought might [...]
Crowe’s Bigfoot Newsletter Has Died
A long-time member of the Western Bigfoot Society (sometimes called the International Bigfoot Society) just emailed me that Ray Crowe is officially discontinuing his monthy meetings, and his long-time Bigfoot newsletter, The Track Record. It is well known that Ray has had a long battle with heart disease and diabetes, which is contributing to his decision. At this point, the future of the WBS and the The Track Record may be elusive, as the status of the 501(c)3 may now be in jeopardy or soon gone. Discussions by the membership are expected soon on how to continue Ray Crowe’s work [...]
