Click on the cover above to make the Yowie larger. The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot Wow! What a beautiful cover. If a book’s cover is a window to the content, you will not be disappointed. This is an earthshaking book. It’s big, it’s monumental, and it will surprise many people. I am an American, and as such, I have to admit that North Americans, specifically the general population and the media more than the readers here, tend to think egoistically that our Sasquatch was here first. The sense is that the files and legends of the rest of [...]
Wanted: Your Bigfoot Documentary
It is time for you to dust off that independent documentary film that you made as a college project, or taped during your most recent weekend excursion. The makers of Sasquatch Mountain want to hear from you! Their DVD is due on January 23, 2007, and it is going to have a special section set aside for someone’s homegrown Bigfoot documentary project.

Get The Vote Out – For Bigfoot!
On Saturday, November 4, 2006, the CNN Poll was conducting a survey (probably due to the Meldrum publicity) that read: “Do you believe that Bigfoot exists?” Update: The poll has been taken down.

Twelve Seconds of New Bigfoot Footage?
The Edmonton Sun is reporting that an… …Edmonton man claims to have at least 12 seconds of video footage that proves Bigfoot exists. He’s incorporated it into a 30-minute documentary that’s airing at the Citadel [in Edmonton, Alberta] next Thursday [November 9, 2006]. The movie is called Sylvanic, a derivative of a native word used in southern British Columbia to describe the “shadow guardians of the mountains” says movie maker Todd Standing, 33. Standing’s been interested in Bigfoot for years, but remained a hardline skeptic until about a year ago, when he said he caught his first glimpse of the [...]
Cryptozoology in KC
A publication called Pitch Weekly in Kansas City, Missouri, has stepped up with one of the first critiques of the Bates traveling exhibition in a column called, “Art Capsule Reviews” for November 2, 2006. In Santiago Ramos’ November 2nd review, he writes: Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale – A cryptid is a creature like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster — that is, lost, rumored or thought to be extinct. Cryptozoology is a science — or pseudoscience, depending on whom you ask — that studies such creatures. A real-life cryptozoologist named Loren Coleman joins 17 artists from around the [...]

At the Hammer Film’s site, in a remembrance there, writer Robert Simpson shares the sad news: Tom Kneale (better known as Nigel Kneale) died on Sunday 29 October 2006 aged 84. To many he was the godfather of television science fiction, a [...]
