Last year, I reported here of the Bigfoot-type reports called “Cohomo.” Does a child’s old 1960s’ notebooks have clues that relate to those sightings of the 1970s? Or was there just a cultural sense in the air that imaginations and reality merged in the Midwest of a few decades ago? Michael Isenberg, a musician living in Hollywood, California, has made claims in emails to Cryptomundo that he created, in 1965, a story that may have influenced the reports of “Cohomo,” also called the “Cole Hollow Monster,” reported in 1972, in Pekin, Illinois. Here’s what Isenberg writes: It began in the [...]
The First Bigfoot Porn Film
The first (and hopefully last) graphic, boring, Bigfoot porn film has been discovered. In terms of full disclosure and capturing the total history of cryptocinema, I have to record a mention of this 15 minute film – a 1981 production – The Geek. The director is unknown, the producers are unknown, the writer is unknown, the editor is unknown, and most of the actors are too. One individual, Lynn Holmes, has placed The Geek in her acting credits on the IMDb. Are we to assume she is the woman being sexually violated by Bigfoot in this film? I only know [...]
Say, What? No More Bigfoot Track Hoaxes?
Are Bigfoot hoaxes a thing of the past? What do you think?
The Dark Final Days of SITU
Did you know that the vast files and library of a great cryptozoological and Fortean organization were raped clean in their final days? If you read closely through the long list of cryptozoology books being offered for sale by Robert Girard, you will note that some are marked with “S. I. T. U.” in them. A few have “ex S.I.T.U. library, their stamp on title page,” reports Girard. Of course, these books he lists, no doubt, came legally into the hands of some collectors who have emptied their stock with Girard, but it merely reminded me of the sad ending [...]
Mysterious Mother’s Day & Mailing Rates

Ah, Bigfoot & ME
Photograph by Joseph Citro. The abbreviation for the State of Maine is “ME.” As fate would have it, Lewiston Sun Journal reporter Kathryn Skelton has a feature article about Maine and Bigfoot today, entitled creatively, “Bigfoot & ME.” It happens to have a large photo of me at the top of one section of the story. Here’s an excerpt of some of what Skelton writes about in this Saturday’s news article. It contains various things that have only a little to do with the critical examination of Bigfoot sightings in Maine. Some words are not even worth repeating, so here’s [...]
Another Update: Tennessee Bigfoot With Cane?
Bill Appleton, Chief Technology Officer at California’s DreamFactory Software, Inc., shares with me these specific video captures from the Tennessee Bigfoot helicopter footage (earlier posted on Cryptomundo by Craig Woolheater here and here). These two individual photographic captures from the video appear to show the bipedal walker carrying something in its right hand. Appleton asks if this is might merely be an elderly woman moving rapidly away from the aircraft, with the help of a cane? Others have suggested, could it be a hunter in a ghillie (camouflage netting) suit? Could it be someone with a heavy coat? Well, at [...]
The Name Game: The Trinities
Tom Slick searched for Giant Salamanders in the Trinity Alps of California. I see that John Kirk has posted the article about the recent rumblings concerning a “giant black reptile” (gator? lizard? salamander?) being seen in British Columbia. The location of the recent sightings is familiar to Cryptomundo readers, mostly because Pitt Lake was where a huge example of Sasquatch (below) was seen years ago. But also the new “reptilian” thing from BC was spied coincidentally in a ravine at Trinity Western University in Langley, B.C., and reminds me of the stories of the Trinity Alps Giant Salamanders (amphibians, but [...]
Best Witnesses: Biologists or Truck Drivers?
This Pitt Lake, British Columbia, Sasquatch was seen by two prospectors in June 1965. Should we discount this sighting because the eyewitnesses weren’t biologists? Credit: Harry Trumbore’s drawing from The Field Guide of Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates. Regarding a couple quick comments there, however, I thought I would separate them out from the terminology debate. Some people have noted that it seems certain states and provinces may not appear to be able to support a population of Bigfoot living there. But, remember, reports do not necessarily reflect that Bigfoot live where they are sighted, but only they have been [...]
