Albert Klyne shows off the statue he made of the creature he says he spotted near his home in 2001. (Jason Halstead, Sun Media). Pick up your computer and turn it on its side, by 90 degrees, or if it is easier, merely tilt your head, to see the proper configuration of the object he carved. He calls himself a sort of Dr. Frankenstein, but Albert Klyne isn’t worried about his creation coming to life. What concerns the 63-year-old, is whether his muse will come back now that his masterpiece is near complete. “It gave me creepy feelings while I [...]

Do Right Wingers Hate Bigfoot?
Let’s try to follow the logic on this one. If you happen to produce a documentary about Jesus Christ that holds a thesis that right wingers don’t like, you can be almost labeled a near-nutcase because you have also produced the documentary “Bigfootville,” according to two conservative bloggers. Your ability to be a critical thinker is called into question if you produce documentaries on Bigfoot and Roswell, but if you raise questions about the story of Jesus Christ (demonstrating your critical thinking?) you are merely called “bogus” because of faults in your “background”? I am not here to defend or [...]
Tim Cameron’s Seven Weird Mythical Creatures: Commentary
Comedian Tim Cameron at Cracked.com has set out to name the most outrageous “creatures,” which I guess we might assume could include a cryptid or two. His new list is entitled the “Weirdest Mythical Creatures in the World,” and I thought I’d share the essence of his gathering. Despite the profanity-injected narrative, which I found sometimes not-too-funny and distracting, the compilation was worthy of a look, as Cameron pointed to some overlooked alleged beasts. The creative list with a few of Cameron’s quoted but edited comments, without his “how to kill” them conclusions, is below. I truly did find the [...]
Cryptids at Maine Student Book Award Celebration
The Maine Student Book Award Celebration (MSBAC) takes on a decidedly cryptozoological flavor this year. As you read this, I’m in northern Maine, in a secret location filled with librarians and children, getting ready or presently talking about cryptozoology, cryptids, and leading workshops with the kids on casting footprints during a full-day gathering. Actually, other than kidding about the “secret location,” all the rest is true. The MSBAC is occurring on Monday, May 5, 2008, in Penobscot, and I’m there right now, as this is being remotely posted. I’m on site with their out-of-state guest of honor, Kelly Milner Halls, [...]
Pondering Bigfoot Sex in Kansas City
Okay, yes, it does take a lot to get people’s attention these days. Sometimes it can be the implied promises found in a blog headline. Other times it may be the surprises via an assumed backdoor. But how about thoughtful and reflective images, as well? It is more difficult to go there, right? Nevertheless, take a quiet moment, turn off the iPod, the iPhone, and the HD television, and look at this brief slide show of some artistic photographs by clicking here. Sit back and enjoy the images. Alice Thorson of The Kansas City Star takes a look at “Animal [...]
Tarzan Creator’s Grandson Dies
Tarzan of the Apes, the first book cover, 1914. In Mark Evanier’s blog, News From Me, he writes that Danton Burroughs, the grandson of Edgar Rice Burroughs and “a major force in keeping that man’s work alive,” died Wednesday evening, April 30, 2008, at his home in Tarzana, California. The suburb, of course, was named for his grandfather’s legendary creation. Danton Burroughs was 64. He was the son of John Coleman Burroughs, who was himself distinguished in the arts as a photographer and illustrator. Burroughs had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease, but the immediate cause of death was said to [...]
Bigfoot Motel Shaken
A moderate earthquake hit a mountainous region of Northern California on Tuesday night, April 28, 2008. There are no immediate reports or injury or damage. The magnitude-5.2 temblor struck at 8:03 p.m. Pacific time, centered about 11 miles southeast of the town of Willow Creek in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Willow Creek is about 320 miles north of San Francisco. The last significant earthquake in the region was on April 25, 1992, when a magnitude 7.2 temblor struck on the Humboldt County coast near Petrolia, triggering a minor tsunami, according to the USGS. The [...]
