Have you noticed how routine news items on straightforward Sasquatch sightings in the Pacific Northwest and the West have decreased in the last few years? Have such stories suffered with the increase in articles on the profiles and misadventures of Bigfoot personalities? Have regular media reports about Bigfoot and Sasquatch encounters become endangered in the wake of more articles on hairy hominoid hunters, fakers, scammers, scientists, searchers, authors, skeptics, debunkers, and other Bigfooters? Just look back five years ago this week: There has been a sighting of the legendary Bigfoot in Washington State. A man spotted the hairy, human-like creature [...]
Pygmy Giant Panda Skull Found
Bill Munns stands next to his model of a Gigantopithecus. Russell L. Ciochon, the anthropologist who is responsible for most of the contemporary writings on Gigantopithecus, which some think is the best candidate for Bigfoot/Sasquatch, or for others, the Yeti, has announced a remarkable fossil find today, June 18, 2007. The skull of the ancestor of the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca, has been discovered. This ancestor species is the pygmy giant panda, Ailuropoda microta. Funding for the project was made possible by the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation and the University of Iowa. Russell L. Ciochon holds the jaw of [...]
Editor Says: “Towns…Make Fortunes Selling Bigfoot”
People get the craziest ideas in their heads about all of the money supposedly flowing from “selling” Bigfoot and other cryptozoological monsters. What might be the source of such thoughts? Well, that would be the general media, of course. Take Dwain Walden, who is the editor/publisher of The Moultrie Observer, in Moultrie, Georgia. Apparently bored with the usual fare to write about, and obviously not coming up with any Father’s Day themes to his liking, this editor takes on Bigfoot. In a column for Sunday, June 17, 2007, Walden has a giggle at the expense of the “folks of Rock [...]
Update: Mt. Hood Mystery Photo
Bigfoot or bear? That does not seem to be the source of most inquiries about this photo any longer. With regard to the most frequent questions heard, they are about why more than one photograph was not taken. The Mt. Hood trailcam owner has forwarded these specifics: The fastest the camera can do is one picture a min. Then it takes a 30 sec. video. They are moition & heat responsive.The camera first takes a picture then about 1-2 seconds it starts a 30 sec. video. The video shows nothing [as] the animal already escaped; we try to put the [...]
New Encounters with Mande Burung (Wild Jungle People)
If you look in my book, The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates (NY: Anomalist Books, 2006), you will find range maps for some of the types of hairy hominoids that the data gathers. Some have tried to revise these maps, for example, for the “Erectus Hominids,” by expanding the range into the vast outback desert of Australia or cutting back the range from more certain Asia. It does not really matter because new reports and discovered old cases will keep changing what people feel are the ranges of any of these hominoid cryptids. The reports will speak [...]
Six Rules of Bigfoot Research
Blake Mathys has been a Bigfoot researcher for decades, from his days of being in the woods of the Midwest, investigating as a kid growing up in Ohio. Currently, he is studying for his Ph. D. in wildlife biology. As I write this, he is presently on his sixth trip to Bermuda, collecting further data on the native birds from that island for his dissertation. Blake Mathys shares his following “Six Rules of Bigfoot Research” for feedback and critiques. Six Rules of Bigfoot Research The following “Six Rules of Bigfoot Research” are meant to improve the quality of the evidence [...]
New Mt. Hood Mystery Photo
Click on image for full size version As the code tells anyone, this photograph was taken on June 7, 2007, at 7:11 p.m. by the same people who have had some luck with pictures from this same location. What do you think this latest trailcam image shows? I have some ideas, but I don’t want to bias anyone’s looking at this with an open mind. Before this new photo, the one before showed a close encounter of the elk kind. See these below to compare with the new one above, and the original “Bigfoot mystery” photo (at the bottom), which, [...]
Beau Monde Bust of Bigfoot
Want to get your hands around this beautiful bewitching bust of Bigfoot? Looking for a gift for Father’s Day? For Graduation Day? For a birthday for that ultimate cryptozoologist-in-training? Or the unforgettable present for a June wedding or summer baby shower? You may wish to pick up one of these limited editions of the bust (they are solid, resin, and seven pounds heavy) of the Crookston Bigfoot? The same artist Curtis Christensen, who made the Crookston Bigfoot, decided to hand-craft a few busts, and hand-paint each one, making no two exactly alike. From this…Christensen with his creation… …to the Bigfoot [...]
Men of Cryptozoology: Chad Arment
Chad Arment (1972 – ) is the creator and moderator of the first specifically cryptozoology email list, founder of a publishing company, and author/editor/publisher of cryptozoology books. His interest in cryptozoology began in the fourth grade when he read Marian Place’s On the Track of Bigfoot (Dodd Mead, 1974). He casually studied the subject until high school, then began actively to investigate reports of unusual animals wherever he was living. Specific cryptids he has tracked include a mystery cougar, giant snakes, and an unknown hairy biped, all in Maryland, and a mystery cat in Ohio. Chad Arment self-published a pamphlet [...]
New Indian “Bigfoot” Reports
A researcher measures a footprint thought to be that of “Bigfoot.” Villagers in Garo hills claim to have sighted mythical giant “Gigantic, hairy, ape-like…” was all that Abu Marak could utter in between gasps for breath. Surrounded by villagers in the safety of his house near Durabanda in the West Garo Hills, Abu’s eyes still mirrored the excitement of spotting the animal. Within a few days, Abu’s account, coupled with those of a few other villagers, became the raw material for a renewed scientific search for the legendary Bigfoot — mande burung in Garo. Sasquatch in North America, Yowie in [...]
