Click on image for full-size version I am always interested in what the various news services do with Cryptomundo’s stories and how those get “re-mixed,” so to speak, for different audiences. Here’s an example, thanks to the alternative press feeder system, the Wireless Flash News (WFN). It is about a dispatch that was sent this morning to 800 rock and news radio stations, alternative papers, and media other outlets worldwide. Here is the recipe: Take one part The Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2006 you saw here first, add in a dash of year-end timing, have it kneaded by the [...]
August 1974: Gerald Ford and Bigfoot
August 1974 was a busy month for politics; Richard Nixon resigned, Gerald Ford became the President of the United States of America. People are thinking and writing a good deal about Ford this week because he died the day after Christmas, repeating the pattern of his hero, former President Harry Truman, who also died on December 26th years earlier. So how does Bigfoot fit into the mix? I guess it depends on how you recall August of 1974. In a column in The Signal, discussing the time that Gerald Ford didn’t show up in Santa Clarita Valley, California, John Boston [...]
Bigfoot Tooth Found?
Has a recent hairy hominoid encounter with a respected Cherokee elder produced physical evidence of a Bigfoot? A tooth? What do you see in the way of the reported Sasquatch canine? According to one witness, this is what the Hebbardsville creatures look like. Described as averaging 8 feet tall, 400 lbs. with black skin and long arms that hang below the knees which they use in order to run swiftly. Flat, bearded face with receding chin-line, broad nose, thin lips and dark brown eyes beneath a prominent brow ridge. Covered in short hair with longer fringes about the beard, back [...]
The Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2006
Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2006 by Loren Coleman, coauthor The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates. In the 1950s, anything covered in hair, upright or nearly so, and appearing to be an unknown human-like creature was called an “Abominable Snowman.” Today, the universal term, cryptozoologically speaking, used for any hidden, uncaught, or yet-to-be-verified hairy hominoid, hominid, or anthropoid, anywhere in the world is “Bigfoot.” Here are the top ten stories that appeared from broadcast media to blogs, from newspapers to network news, globally, regarding the topic of “Bigfoot.” 1. Johor Bigfoot Seen, Slammed, and Stabilized Starting in [...]
2006 Cryptoholiday Gifts
Here are five last minute gift ideas or something for your birthday wish list for 2007: 1. How about Monster’s Choice Scottish Whiskey, here from the gift shops near Loch Ness, for those people secure enough in their cryptozoology to know that most of the Nessie eyewitnesses are not drinking? 2. Or maybe would you like to pick up one of the David Horvath Mothman Vinyl Toys if you are not scared of what might happen when you own one of these? 3. Or perhaps a NagleWorks creation of the male form of the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot, (with optional digging stick [...]

The following is a roundup of 25 notable people linked to cryptozoology, cryptids, Bigfoot studies, aligned fields, and cryptocinema who died in 2006. Death is a milestone.

Origins of “M.K. Footage”
The other day, I wrote positively about M.K. Davis’s work with the Patterson-Gimlin footage. Cryptomundo technical staff shared, in what we viewed as an extension of Davis’s past permissions and a fair use situation, M. K. Davis’ stabilization work done on the Patterson-Gimlin footage. Then very late that night, we were contacted by Bobbie Short (who coincidentally carries a fair use statement on every one of her pages because her site is so full of copyrighted material). Ms. Short was speaking on M.K. Davis’s behalf, she said, and she told us to immediately remove “M.K.’s stabilization gif,” because we have [...]
What Stick?
John Green, Rick Noll, and Chris Murphy discussed the recent revelations about the Patterson-Gimlin footage over the weekend. Rick Noll, returning from a trip to British Columbia, sent this along today, December 11th: I was with John Green this weekend and he showed me an email from M.K. Davis that contained yet another gif from the images I produced for John. In these M.K. is claiming to have discovered the creature carrying a stick. Looking at the images I started to laugh. The stick like figure is nothing but the outside darkend edge of the left hand… the palm of [...]
Déjà Vu Davis
"The word is out! Yes we are saying Bigfoot is human, and we think we have proved it….Everyone said it was an ape or creature or something else. No, it’s a human being of some sort. A very large human at that. It could be one of the oldest races in existence. Clues are in the movie…You be the judge. Man in a suit – Miocene ape – no way!" – Pat Holdbrook, November 2006. "All the images and explanations will be in Holdbrook’s movie. I will be glad to preview with anyone the images, if they are willing to [...]
