What did the deer-grabbing Bigfoot look like? We still don’t know, and the above drawing by Richard Klyver has nothing to do with this Wisconsin report. Please, someone, ask Steven Krueger to describe what he saw, how it moved, how it jumped, and how it carried the deer, for starters! Please. In the wake of the first reports of the Bigfoot that grabbed a deer, the story is getting spun in various Wisconsin media. The following news item, although it does not mention the eyewitness by name, is about this week’s Wisconsin sighting by Steven Krueger, identified below as a [...]
KC’s Kids CZ Book List
Looking for some suggestions for your holiday gift-giving to add to the book shelves of cryptozoologists-in-training? Trying to come up with colorful presents for those stockings? Here’s some book ideas that are being put out there for kids who are visiting the activities and the current Missouri home of the traveling exhibition that left Bates College only a few weeks ago.

Paranthropus News
The following news release is shared here, as I consider the fossil candidate Paranthropus more compelling than Giganthropithecus for what is reported in several locations as "Bigfoot". I discussed this debate about these two fossil species here on Christmas Day 2005, please see “Bigfoot: Gigantopithecus or Paranthropus?” Not too many people read that blog, probably, as there were a lot of other things happening on that day, but the 22 comments there are some of the longest and most thoughtful I’ve read. The following University of Colorado study give more food for thought, every pun intended, for considering the significance [...]
Bigfoot Grabs Deer
A breaking news item out of Wisconsin says a Bigfoot was seen grabbing a road-kill deer and hightailing into the woods with it. Details on that in a minute. One of the first eyewitness drawings of Momo. Wisconsin seems to have had some interesting Bigfoot reports in recent years. The one that happened yesterday, November 9th, 2006, may be extremely unique, but then the state has given us some of the most interesting eastern cases of the 21st century. Take, for instance, there’s the case of Mr. Hughes. Around 5:15 a.m on March 28, 2000, James Hughes was delivering the [...]

Wanted: Your Bigfoot Documentary
It is time for you to dust off that independent documentary film that you made as a college project, or taped during your most recent weekend excursion. The makers of Sasquatch Mountain want to hear from you! Their DVD is due on January 23, 2007, and it is going to have a special section set aside for someone’s homegrown Bigfoot documentary project. In the meantime, I thought you all might wish to take a first look at the DVD cover (above) of Sasquatch Mountain. But back to this unique opportunity. Do you have a nonfiction short Bigfoot documentary film that [...]
Cohomo Monster: 1972
Yes, here comes another piece of news from a series of Bigfoot reports from the 1970s. I wrote about this Illinois series in Creatures of the Other Edge and Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America. Now the media seems to be rediscovering these old reports. Here’s my summary of these cases, followed by the new article. In May 1972, there were new reports coming in from the Pekin and Peoria, Illinois, areas. In late May, a young man named Randy Emmert, and some friends, reported a large, hairy creature near Cole Hollow Road. This monster was 8-10 feet [...]
Hoodwinked in Arizona
Who is hoodwinking whom? The Associated Press is carrying a summary article out of Arizona, telling of Tom Biscardi (above) going on an expedition there. The piece leaves out any examination of Biscardi’s past and is a chopped up version of a longer article, which is found below. But what is the background story on this original Arizona news item? Can we pull back the drapes surrounding this media Oz, and figure out how this article was constructed? Here’s some details. On Thursday, November 2, 2006, a reporter from the Arizona Republic named Dennis Wagner emailed me. He said he [...]
Abductions by Modern Neandertals?
Neandertals left their tracks, above, behind. Have they interacted with modern humans in contemporary times, and left behind much more? Is there a record of human beings being abducted by hairy unknown hominids, perhaps even Neandertals in Europe? The reported sleeping position of the Ksy-gyik. Did it sleep with humans? Here is a list of a few possible kidnapping incidents, none of them before published in English, shared by Norwegian cryptozoologist Erik Knatterud: Spain, Sienra. Probably about 800 years ago. Baby abduction. An infant boy was stolen from his nanny, but a swift rescue party managed to find the boy [...]
Meldrum and the Media: A Manufactured Mini-Mess
How could a nice guy like Jeff Meldrum (above) get caught in a mini-mess in the press? It happens. An Editorial I wasn’t going to say anything about the article on the work of Dr. Jeff Meldrum. Hey, you all know about it, as mentioned here at Cryptomundo and elsewhere. I was hoping that the tempest in the teapot would go away. But I decided to put to rest some thoughts I have had during the day on the mini-mess in my attempt to move on and get back to the real news. It is the Saturday before a major [...]
