Whatever happened to Strange Wilderness? I posted first about this way back in November 2005 and then again in July 2006, thinking it was going to be on television in 2006. See my posting here and David Pescovitz’s link at Boing Boing. Directed by Fred Wolf, the actors include popular youthful and veteran stars, including Steve Zahn, Sheila Lussier, Justin Long, Alison Kay, Ernest Borgnine, Joan Jones, Allen Covert, Meg Wolf, Joe Don Baker, and Krista Allen. Krista Allen The entire plot is about a television series that is trying to increase its ratings by going to South America to [...]
Why No Sasquatch Sightings?
Have you noticed how routine news items on straightforward Sasquatch sightings in the Pacific Northwest and the West have decreased in the last few years? Have such stories suffered with the increase in articles on the profiles and misadventures of Bigfoot personalities? Have regular media reports about Bigfoot and Sasquatch encounters become endangered in the wake of more articles on hairy hominoid hunters, fakers, scammers, scientists, searchers, authors, skeptics, debunkers, and other Bigfooters? Just look back five years ago this week: There has been a sighting of the legendary Bigfoot in Washington State. A man spotted the hairy, human-like creature [...]
Update: Rock Ness & Nessie
Rock, paper, Nessie. Despite early Loch Ness Monster reports to the contrary in newspapers yesterday, there are hints that something cryptozoological did occur during the recent musical concert, Rock Ness. The usual things happened when a crowd of nearly 35,000 people gather. One man found unconscious under apparently “no suspicious circumstances,” died yesterday in a local hospital. A few people, seven to be specific, got arrested for “drugs charges and breach of the peace.” Lots of rock fans enjoyed two days of music in Scotland from 30 acts on five stages. It was just your typical outdoor music event. Almost. [...]
Editor Says: “Towns…Make Fortunes Selling Bigfoot”
People get the craziest ideas in their heads about all of the money supposedly flowing from “selling” Bigfoot and other cryptozoological monsters. What might be the source of such thoughts? Well, that would be the general media, of course. Take Dwain Walden, who is the editor/publisher of The Moultrie Observer, in Moultrie, Georgia. Apparently bored with the usual fare to write about, and obviously not coming up with any Father’s Day themes to his liking, this editor takes on Bigfoot. In a column for Sunday, June 17, 2007, Walden has a giggle at the expense of the “folks of Rock [...]
Rock Ness: Nessie Photos?
Nessie, seal, or otter? This does not represent a car full of Rock Ness attendees trying to photograph Nessie, but merely another view of the Spicer encounter of 1933 (used for promotional purposes by loch-ness.org on various Scottish tourism sites). As you will recall, after all the buzz of the Holmes video of an unknown something in Loch Ness, a million pounds was offered for definite photographic proof of Nessie. A promoter was to hand out reportedly 50,000 cameras at the Rock Ness concert held near Loch Ness. Attendence was more than the 22,000 that showed up last year for [...]
Penn Giant Snake Eats Kittens
One hundred years ago, explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett was sent by the Royal Geographic Society to make a thorough survey of the Rio Abuna and Acre Rivers. He encountered a Giant Snake. Today, sightings of a large serpent have stirred the media in the Midwest USA. Click image for full-size version Fawcett ran across his snake in 1907, as he was drifting along the Rio Negro. Fawcett shot the creature and finally examined it on the river bank where it came ashore. According to Fawcett, the snake measured 45 feet out of the water and 17 in it, for [...]
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 [...]
Hey, Disney: Where Are the Yeti Books?
A reader Joshua Cutchin sends along the following email to Cryptomundo today: I just returned from a visit to Walt Disney World, where I rode Expedition Everest for the first time. While I enjoyed much about the ride (the Yeti was portrayed in a very realistic manner of a white snowman), I have one glaring issue to take with the attraction. Several books by Loren Coleman are on display in the queue line’s “Yeti Museum”, as well as some of the older literature as well. Yet, at the attraction’s gift shop, there is not one book on hairy bipeds to [...]
Survey: Almost 60% Say Sasquatch Unsnatchable
The Anomalist today published their analysis of the survey results from 449 people who filled out a web-based questionnaire that took 15 to 30 minutes to complete in March. You can read “Anomalists Are No Longer An Anomaly,” by clicking here. (Note to the survey’s author: In strict research analysis protocol, the questions that were the basis of the analysis should be published as part of the article. The survey, per se, is not visible as an appendix or attachment to this analysis.) First and foremost, these kinds of surveys make me uncomfortable. The survey number is small, and the [...]
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 – [...]
