Congratulations! Voters from Cryptomundo appear to have had an impact on the Round 2 polling for “The Seven Fortean Wonders of the World.” The final results for Round 2 are in, and of 151 votes, fully 35% (53 votes) were for “Bigfoot / Yeti.” After the choice of the location of Loch Ness was lost in Round 1, due to neglect on the part of our community, I felt it important for our voices to be heard by voting for the only cryptozoology choice left: “Bigfoot / Yeti.” I put out the call and you responded. Thank you! You did [...]
Green’s Public Statement: The Tennessee Bigfoot Affair
Mary Green has issued the following statement regarding Janice Carter. It gives insights into the developing conflict occurring between these two women, former coauthors, of writing of a book about the alleged close encounters, over many generations, with a family of Bigfoot. The contents of the following document are entirely the remarks of Mary Green, and do not, necessarily, reflect the opinion of Cryptomundo or any associated works or organizations of Loren Coleman, Craig Woolheater, and others linked to Cryptomundo. As Ms. Green notes, this is to be shared with hominologists globally, and Cryptomundo is thus publishing this, without commentary [...]
Vote for One Wonder: Bigfoot/Yeti
Yeti and Bigfoot need your help! The second round of voting at the Charles Fort Institute for the Seven Fortean Wonders of the World ends on Friday, December 21, 2007. There are a final 38 candidates, and after a quick registration (your name and country), you may vote once in this round. I made a mistake by skipping the first round, waiting for the field to be narrowed. The location of Loch Ness did not make it through that round. I thought “Loch Ness” would be a natural, but I was busy with other matters. My fault. I was the [...]
Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2007
Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2007 by Loren Coleman, Bigfoot!, and The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates. During 2007, the worldwide interest in unknown hairy human-like creatures moved from a focus in Malaysia in 2005-2006, to more interest again in North American events. Some of the news was purely organizational and people-driven. Early news out of Texas, for example, told of the establishment of the non-profit Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy on January 18, 2007. A mid-year announcement mentioned Ray Crowe’s Track Record had ceased publication. Some news was a mixed bag of local eruptions of various media-created [...]
Snowman Movie, Meditation and Mental Telepathy
I’m returning to New York to talk about Abominable Snowmen, Tom Slick, and telepathy between humans and Yetis. That’s right. I am barely back from the Big Apple, and I’m going back to introduce a favorite movie of mine during another museum’s new opening. I hope meet some of the people that missed my talk at the American Museum of Natural History on December 1st. If you wish, ask me about Yeti mind-reading or the real stories behind the movie that will be screening. Want your copy of Tom Slick autographed or interested in picking up a new one from [...]
60 Minutes’ Morley Safer, AMNH, and Cryptozoology
On Friday, November 30, 2007, I took the train to New York City from Portland, Maine. It is a long ride, but I decided to try it out, catch up on some reading, and see what came my way. I was surprised by the person I ran into on the train: CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer. He was the only guy sitting a few seats in front of me on a sparingly occupied train car. I think he got on someplace in Massachusetts. I’m not sure, and I respect his privacy enough to not really care to talk about [...]
That Mangy Bear: The Final Word
This somewhat comedic video is from Blake “DoctorAtlantis” Smith, who introduces it thusly: “I have posted a follow-up video based on several remarks from [pro-'juvenile Sasquatch'] posters. I think this video, while still mildly sarcastic, does contain some good analytic data.” {Warning: Loud music soundtrack.}
Cryptozoology in New York City
A week from today, on Saturday, December 1, 2007, I will be giving my talk, “Introduction to Cryptozoology,” at 1:00 PM, at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, New York, in conjunction with their current exhibition, Mythic Creatures. I look forward to meeting many of you who plan to attend. I won’t be able to sell any books there, of course. However, I understand the AMNH museum shop is carrying copies of Cryptozoology A to Z (NY: Simon and Schuster, 1999). I will be happy to sign your personal copies of that book or any you might [...]
Florida Confusion Continues
My gosh, now the media is throwing in Chupacabras to explain the Orangutan-Fox Squirrel-Spider Monkey reports from Baker County, Florida. Also, the Skunk Ape, Bigfoot, and something called the “Taylor Wild Man” are being pitched too. At least, they haven’t caught on to the Cryptomundian theory that it is a tree-stranded otter. Mark Lyons observes the trap set by FWC. Look, up in the tree. It’s a plane, it’s a bird, it’s … well, no one knows for sure exactly what it is. A sighting three weeks ago of what appeared to be a large, orange colored monkey in a [...]
More on Jacobs Bear
Here is a new short video analysis of the photographs of the Jacobs mangy bear. Of course, despite my opinion that might seem to agree with the conclusions of this video, the point must be made that most of the “Bigfoot” used on the following video for comparative reasons are fakes, hoaxes, people in suits, and such. I suppose this entire episode (but not this video) will be remembered as a moment in history, someday, and a clever way for the BRFO (sic) to obtain some visits to their site. Moving on.
