Mystery Cryptozoologist Photo
Due to dogged diligence, indepth investigative inquiries, and long hours in pursue of the truth, Cryptomundo brings you today the identity of the mystery cryptozoologist pictured all year by the North American media, next to the now famous Johor Bigfoot cast. You remember the photo, shown above? The cast was found in February 2006, at Kampung Temenin Lama, Kota Tinggi. This specific image of the track cast shows a curious individual pointing out this piece of alleged Bigfoot evidence found by the Seekers, SPI, and the Sci-Fi filmmakers. She was not identified in the media reports at the time. But [...]
Mermaid Photos Again
Today, Cryptomundo has received more emails telling us that strange and mysterious Mermaid photos supposedly snapped in Mexico, Dominican Republic, or Malaysia are circulating on the Internet. These emails are asking for us to either identify the “Mermaid” or post the photographs on Cryptomundo. But we have already done this. As I mentioned a few days ago when I published several of the photos here, these images are of a taxidermy fake. The object pictured is a piece of art from American Juan Cabana, who is well-known for his smaller fake Feejee Mermaids. It probably was photographed from various angles [...]
Sabine River Monster Photo
Coast to Coast AM’s website has posted the following image of an unknown creature swimming on its back, as seen in the Sabine River, near where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The Sabine River forms the border between Texas and Louisiana near the reported point of this picture/sighting. Most of the area around this location would be bayou country, but nevertheless freshwater. The Sabine River is known for its large freshwater catfish, but this animal does not appear to be even remotely similar to a catfish.

Skeptic Dogs Maine Mutant
Cryptomundo reader and Skeptical Inquirer managing editor Ben Radford has taken on the “Maine Mutant” in a SI column published on Sunday, September 24, 2006. Click on image for full-size version Photograph by Michelle O’Donnell. Used by permission. In “Mystery Monster Dogs Maine” Radford overviews the story, getting all the facts right, more so than most retellings of the events. He even quotes me correctly: When Maine monster hunter Loren Coleman was shown a photo of the creature on Aug. 13, he stated, “This is a dog, probably a feral dog or a hybrid, but a dog.” Then Radford mentions [...]
Bring On Kraken!
Modern images of the Kraken come via Jules Verne’s book and from remembrances of the 1954 sci-fi movie named after his book, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. That’s about ready to change, in a small way, after the September 23nd broadcast of Kraken on the Sci-Fi Channel. Early reviews are what might be expected, as people sometimes make more fun of the name than the subject. Take for example, Kevin McDonough of United Features Syndicate in his contribution, with the oddly headlined "’Kracken’: Well, the title’s good" : You have to love a movie called "Kraken: Tentacles of the Deep" [...]
Cryptozoologists Will Always Have Paris
Dr. Marie-Jeanne Koffmann During a forthcoming conference in Paris on October 14, 2006, cryptozoologists and hominologists will meet and discuss items of cryptozoological interest. (The French language overview of the meeting can be found below the Richard Klyver illustration of the Almas.) At the gathering, zoologist François de Sarre will discuss unknown hairy hominoids. Michel Meurger, who wrote a book about his sociological thoughts on lake monsters, will also be speaking on other matters. Michel Raynal, Jean Roche, and Jean-Luc Rivera, all well-known French cryptozoologists, shall be attending apparently, as well. Dr. Marie-Jeanne Koffmann, one of the world’s top researchers [...]
Mothman Producer Dies
Executive producer Barry Conrad (above, right) and his producer partner Lisa McIntosh (above, left) have been working on their documentary project about the Flatwoods Monster, Kelly Creatures, and Mothman for over five years. Their production company has completed several documentaries that have been broadcast on the Biography, A&E, Discovery, Sci-Fi and TLC channels. When the crew visited me in Portland, Maine, on April 19, 2002, they were here to interview and tape me about Mothman, my book on the topic, and the then just-released Richard Gere The Mothman Prophecies movie. They did this, intriguingly, in a live production event in [...]
Sasquatch Mountain Cast & Crew
Another Cryptomundo Exclusive The above is the cast and crew photograph from the shooting of Sasquatch Mountain. You can see in the middle of the photo the actor (Tiny Ron) who was in the Bigfoot suit. He had to wear an orange vest, as it was hunting season in Arizona. Having him get fired upon was something the movie crew had to prevent. Tiny Ron, an American born Ronald Taylor, is seven feet tall and played professional basketball in the 1970s in Vienna Austria. He is often remembered for his role of Maihar’du on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” Please [...]
Mothman Festival ‘06
