(Click on image to see full size version, enhanced by shockbeton) Fans, friends, and readers of Cryptomundo, I have an idea that it might be good to have a permanent “Cryptomundo’s Frequently Asked Questions” location attached to the Cryptomundo site. Perhaps it would be via a long blog of answers, or series of blogs. Maybe it would be a hyperlinked sidebar dedicated location. I see this as a gift in return to all those who have done so much to keep my blogging alive here. Let me see if this will work. The details will be ironed out. But the [...]
Krantz on Skookum Cast
There’s a new argument occurring over at the James Randi skeptics forum, between Bigfoot promoters and skeptics, this last week in February 2007. It’s all about the unlikely subject of what was said by anthropologist Grover Krantz regarding the reality of the Skookum Cast. Here’s the result of some research and what may be the “final” confusing answer on the matter. In 2004, Scott Herriott engaged in a spirited exchange with John Green on the Bigfoot Yahoo list about the subject. Herriott displayed some skepticism pertaining to Green’s claim that Krantz had endorsed the Skookum Cast. After all, Herriott remarked, [...]
More Bigfoot “Wallace Line” Images
Reexaming archival photographs of Bigfoot track photos, casts, and “souvenirs” does expose hints of how deeply the “cultural icons” of Ray Wallace’s damaging handiwork have penetrated. My appreciation is given to Cryptomundo reader Dale Drinnon who has sent in the above scan of an old postcard that was sold at Happy Camp, California, apparently in the 1960s or early 1970s. Drinnon writes: “It looks to me like the one track cast [on the left in the photograph] has [evidence of] that crack in the heel.” There was nothing on the other side of the postcard. Dale Wallace displays Ray Wallace’s [...]
S. F. Chronicle: $100,000 Bigfoot Scam? John Green’s Challenge
John Green (right) interviews Albert Ostman about Ostman’s 1924 Sasquatch abduction incident in British Columbia. Green, who turns 80 in 2007, has been involved in many foundation cases, needless to say. Recent discussions here have been about the Blue Creek Mountain – Onion Mountain tracks found in 1967, by John Green and others. Green feels very passionate about keeping these tracks within the realm of what are seen as genuine prints, despite mounting evidence that they were pranked or hoaxed by Ray Wallace and/or his associates. Everyone has an equal say about this affair. John Green, who is greatly respected [...]
How Would You Hunt Bigfoot?
Okay, I’ll take up the call for this one. People seem to wish to talk about how they would go about hunting for Bigfoot or Sasquatch. A free exchange of ideas and suggestions may assist people who want to pick up new approaches or enhance their own knowledge of searching for a real Bigfoot. I’ll undertake this exercise for the benefit of people who wish to find one place to revisit to watch an exchange grown, evolve, and take different tracks. So here goes… Limiting this to real, biological examples of an unknown primate in North America, how would you [...]
The Wallace Line in Bigfoot Studies
A Startling New Discovery Sometimes proof is so definitive, so compelling, it is difficult to ignore. Let me tell you today about the Wallace Line within Bigfoot studies. For those of us that consider Bigfoot a fact, I feel it is something we can no longer brush aside as unimportant in future discussions. I have purposely coined and am using a phrase that can have many meanings as we look at this situation. But the bottomline is this: some Bigfooters, many of whom routinely say to scientists, “If only you would look at the evidence with an open-mind, you would [...]
Dream Job? Searching For Bigfoot
Setting the Record Straight: CareerBuilder.com I have been told and asked about some statements that have been attributed to me in an “article” that appeared a little over a week ago. Apparently, in various Sunday CareerBuilder.com special insert sections of The Baltimore Sun, The Chicago Tribune, and other newspapers for February 11, 2007, I was profiled. I have been identified as having the profession: “Bigfoot Hunter,” in some versions of the piece. I was not paid for this item, and wonder if it is more an ad than an article? Anyway, the written treatment in the CareerBuilder.com section sounds like [...]
A Life Explored In Words
I sometimes neglect the fact that few people know really what I have written, in total. Today, for example, a young man emailed me with this message: “How many books have you done Loren? I have only come across two.” Well, I can forget myself, often, for many reasons. It happens. Ha ha. Memory and lists of things-to-do aside, one reason is that there are many ways to count the unfolding of my life that occurs via my modest library of written works. You can look at “how many” in terms of various editions, revisions, and reprints. Or you can [...]
Bigfoot’s Beckjord Has Cancer
Bigfoot badboy Jon-Erik Beckjord has released a statement that he has cancer. In conjunction with this release of information, Beckjord says he is trying to sell, once again, his copy of the Patterson-Gimlin footage of a Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California, taken on October 20, 1967. The footage is available on most good documentaries about Bigfoot, but, as Beckjord has noted in his past attempts to sell it on eBay for one million dollars ($1,000,000), he feels his copy is unique. How he obtained that copy is not known and not stated. Beckjord, states for the first time, as far [...]
Byrne: Marx/Biscardi Bigfoot Photo Hoax
Has anyone noticed that Tom Biscardi is still using the Ivan Marx film clips discredited by Peter Byrne in 1971? Perhaps people have failed to even look at the frames from the 1970s’ films? Or read their history? The notorious alleged 1970s Bigfoot trickster and Ivan Marx associate, who attempted to pull off the “send in your money and see the Bigfoot I’ve captured” trickery on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, may be in a neighborhood near you. Old news, right? Rapidly having departed Happy Valley, California, and disassociated from past associates in Las Vegas, Tom Biscardi has [...]
