Once upon a time there were Sasquatch sightings and no film of a Bigfoot in the bush. Those were the early days, before October 20, 1967, when only a few hunters, seekers, searchers, researchers and writers across North America compared notes via a thing called the postal service. Ideas about Bigfoot and Sasquatch were based on artist drawings and sighting descriptions, folklore and native art, and footprints and fecal droppings. In the Dark Time, before computers, email, the internet and stabilization software, the involved researchers, field workers, and authors, all one dozen or so of us, would send thermofax copies [...]
Joey Bishop’s Patterson Bigfoot Link
Joey Bishop’s publicist and longtime friend, Warren Cowan, announced Bishop died from multiple causes at home in Newport Beach, California, on Wednesday, October 17, 2007, aged 89. Joey Bishop (February 3, 1918 – October 17, 2007) was perhaps best remembered as being a member of the “Rat Pack” with Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. He was the last survivor of that group of entertainers. The comedian, who often filled in for Johnny Carson, tried his own hand at a similar show in the 1960s. Few realize that Joey Bishop is part of the history of [...]
Bigfoot & The Dover Demon in Red Sox Nation
The more you are in this business, the more humbled by it you become.- Meryl Streep. Above: Tim Binnall and Don Keating. Don has his Ohio State shirt on for the first night of the conference, and then proudly wore his Cleveland Indians outfit for the night of his presentation, while in the midst of Red Sox Nation. Bigfoot was the least of his worries over the weekend. Tim Binnall of binnall of america (yes, it’s lower case) has published his review of this last weekend’s Mass Monster Mash. Binnall, ever the good writer and journalist, is an excellent interviewer. [...]
Binnall, Keating, and Me
Tim Binnall, a radio journalist of some note, attended the Mass Monster Mash and gathered several interviews. Watch his site, Binnall of America for his forthcoming commentary and interviews. John Horrigan, an excellent host and conference organizer, honored Tim with two well-deserved recognition plaques on both nights of the events. Tim also took photographs. He is the first to publish images from the conference on the web. Here’s two: Tim with me and Tim with Don Keating. Don gave a good Fortean talk on his “White Sasquatch” video, and I gave the first lecture of my life exclusively on the [...]
At Mass Monster Mash
I’m on the road again. This time I am at the “Mass Monster Mash,” in Watertown, Massachusetts, on Saturday, October 13, 2007, giving an illustrated (almost 50 images) on the Dover Demon. I also will be talking to folks, and selling/signing books. Since others there are speaking on Bigfoot, the Bridgewater Triangle, and Phantom Clowns, I’ll have some things to say about those topics too, outside my keynote hourlong illustrated lecture. I will have a few new copies of the 2007 edition of Mysterious America with me. I also will bring along some copies of The Copycat Effect, Tom Slick: [...]
Richard Corben’s Comic Cryptids
There has to be an esteemed place in the cryptocosmos for this well-known comic artist. A Midwestern guy like me, Richard Corben was born October 1, 1940, on a farm in Anderson, Missouri. Today he is seen as an American comic book artist best known for his illustrated fantasy stories in Heavy Metal magazine, to some, or for the traditions coming down via his first graphic novel, Bloodstar, to others. For me, it is his work in cryptozoological themes that intrigue me. After all, in 2004, he drew “me,” sort of, as the comic book character “Coleman Wadsworth” chasing an [...]
Woods Full of Armed Bigfoot Hunters?
Todd Haynes’s Bob Dylan movie is getting a lot of notice. Apparently Haynes is merely another artistically strange individual, for the following was revealed in a Robert Sullivan interview this weekend: “For one issue of Plazm, Haynes posed in a Bigfoot suit, no one apparently telling him how dangerous it is to run around in the Pacific Northwest woods in a Bigfoot suit with so many armed Bigfoot hunters running around.)” Okay, first off, I can’t imagine this guy was in much danger surrounded by a crew of Plazm photographers and celebrity handlers. Secondly, don’t you think there’s a bit [...]
Luxembourg Wildman Video
Please refer to Jerry Glover’s previous “Walking With Wildmen” and Luxembourg “Wildman” or “Bigfoot” specific articles for his insights. Here is the video, itself: I am a middle-aged citizen of Luxembourg who prefers to stay anonymous. In 2002 during winter, i was on my daily walk to film forest life. But before i could reach the forest i noticed some prints on the snow covered ground. Then i saw a hundreds meter away a dark and very huge figure. I tried to get it on the film. The creature disappeared in a forest after a few minutes. I just made [...]

Walking with Wildmen Part 1
In the following three installments, Cryptomundo brings you the complete article by Jerry Glover examining what the cover of the magazine proclaims as information on the “European Bigfoot.” But out of all due respect to these European Wudewasa, let’s just stick with calling them Wildpeople. Don’t be surprised if in one of these panels you see an odd foot being used for size comparison.
