Even skeptic Adrian Shine, project leader for Loch Ness 2000, says: “Swimming elephants do not explain subsequent sightings.”
Save Barnum’s Pygmy Elephant
UPDATE: Unfortunately, this elephant has been sold into a private (not a cryptozoological) collection. I will leave the following here, for historical reasons. Would you like to help save a national treasure within the cryptozoological and zoological community? Could we get a group of people together to preserve this item? It has come to my attention that P. T. Barnum’s Pygmy Elephant is for sale. Here’s the description from the seller: This Elephant is in beautiful condition and dates from the mid 1800′s. The mounted specimen stands approximately 5’3" tall, it’s approximately 7′ in length and approximately 3′ wide. The [...]
Attack of the Show Appearance
I will have my second "live" appearance on G4tv’s current news/talk program, Attack of the Show on Tuesday, March 7, 2005, between 4:00 and 5:00 PM Pacific. This will be the first broadcast appearance of Bone Clones’ Homo floresiensis skull replica. I will be discussing this skull in the context of the old reports of small hairy hominids from South Asia, and the current sightings of the Malaysia’s Orang Dalam (which, of course, are much different than Bigfoot encounters ).
New Homo floresiensis Replica
The Bone Clones, Inc. homepage will soon feature this photograph of their replica of the skull of Homo floresiensis. But readers at Cryptomundo get the first look. Bone Clones’ Homo floresiensis skull replica Orders ($289 each, plus shipping) for this Bone Clones reproduction can be taken now. Use the code number "BH-033" to order them. You can go to the Bone Clones ordering information here.
More New Tracks
More photos of Malaysian tracks make for new analyses and more conjecture on what the prints might be. What individually has been more mystifying in the recent publication of merely one track’s image seems clearer in this asphalt trackway. The Sumatran rhinoceros is rare in Malaysia, but this muddy series of prints appears to show, for the first time, that these are from a rhino double-stepping into its own tracks on this road. This is the newest track from Malaysia, just published on February 28. It is one of three footprints found that were perhaps 20 cm across and 40, [...]
The Night Stalker Has Died
The Night Stalker is dead. Darren McGavin died at the age of 83, early on Saturday, February 25, 2006, in California. Kolchak: The Night Stalker, starring Darren McGavin in the lead role, in two television movies and in one of the shortest but most memorable television series (1974-1975), had frequent creature themes. It is often discussed with affection by cryptofiction fans. McGavin in the 1970s as "Carl Kolchak" As the Internet Movie Database notes: "Carl Kolchak was a reporter for Chicago’s Independent News Service, and a trouble magnet for situations involving the supernatural. Kolchak turned his investigative skills to vampires, [...]
Malay DNA & Cast in Play
DNA samples, theories on the creatures living in the swamps, future appearances on reality television are all in the news. Do not look for the Malaysian Bigfoot story to bolt from the media radar soon. Furthermore, we continue to ponder what to make of this track, cast by Sci-Fi’s Josh Gates? The footprint site is more visible in this new photograph (above) of the Malaysian Bigfoot cast still in the ground. This is the footcast that will be tested for DNA. Compare it to the following images of the other side of the cast and various comparative rhino and Orang [...]
Talking to Henry May
Today, I’m going to cross-post my interview by Henry May, who has a blog at the American Bigfoot Society Clearinghouse. Loren Coleman and the 8.5 ft tall "Crookston Bigfoot" at his International Cryptozoology Museum, Portland, Maine, summer 2005. Photo taken by Joseph Citro, used by permission. Hi, Henry Thank you for your growing site and your interest in chatting today. > 1. Do you believe the Malaysian Bigfoot is merely an orangtuan? First, I must say what I often say to the folks from the media: "Belief" is part of religion and faith. Therefore, when I am asked any [...]
Who Was On That Malaysian Expedition?
An explosion of media attention today…at least three articles hitting the internet…news of an expedition…backing by a television show…a photograph of a footprint…and more. Fasten your seat belts. Sometimes it is only location and funding that separate cryptozoologists from the action. As I’ve been suggesting for weeks, Malaysian scientists are the obvious choices for going into the rainforest to look for their own "Bigfoot" first. Reports now from a London paper indicate that a team of "paranormal investigators," including an Australian tracker, a filmmaker from Los Angeles, a reality film crew, and apparently a British reporter are in hot pursuit [...]
