Please avoid letting me hear “Sasquatches” too! No, no, no “Bigfeet” allowed in here. Some nouns, particularly the names of animals and fish, have the same form in singular and plural. Historically and grammatically correct is the word “Bigfoot” for singular and plural, just as “sheep” means one sheep and two or more sheep. There are a number of animals that have the same singular and plural form, for example: antelope – antelope buffalo – buffalo bison – bison mink – mink otter – otter bass – bass deer – deer moose – moose swine – swine pike – pike [...]
It’s Showtime Sonoma: Fakery, False Claims, and Fistfights?
Remember the “Snow Walker” footage of a “Yeti in a snowfield.” It turned out to be a fake that the producers of Paranormal Borderland, an old UPN program that lasted about two episodes, created to boost the ratings of their first show. Now the obnoxious Penn & Teller and their BS Showtime Network program are claiming to have done something similar. Do they want news outlets such as Cryptomundo to talk about them because we have ignored them so well? Of course they do. A teaser digital preview for their forthcoming “cryptozoology” episode on Showtime is broadcasting that they faked [...]
Abominable Mouth
With reference to the just-released movie Abominable, does this one image tell us all we want to know? For the full Fangoria review, click here. See also “Abominable Attacks Idol Hottie.
Who is Jan Klement?
Who is Jan Klement? Is Bigfoot gay? How can asking questions get me in trouble and even have people leaving me "death threats" on my phone machine? Well, it seems rather easily, it turns out. Was Klement an earth sciences professor? A biology professor? A high school science teacher? Is he still alive? Did he ever exist? Did he see what he says he saw happening between a cow and a Bigfoot? I once wrote that Jan Klement is the "Deep Throat" of the Bigfoot field. Jan Klement is listed as the author of a book surrounded by controversy. The [...]
Leap The CryptoHaiku Carnivorous
As Cryptomundo readers might recall, I named Carnivorous Nights: On the Trail of the Tasmanian Tiger, one of the "Top Cryptozoology Books" of last year, specifically bestowing it as "The Best Cryptozoological Expedition Book of 2005." The book is by Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson (with illustrations by Alexis Rockman). The well-written record of three people tramping about on their quest is certainly an important volume for any cryptozoologist to read. For those especially interested in the Thylacine (a/k/a Tasmanian Tiger), of course, it is a must for your collection. You might be able to win a free copy. Now [...]
Baseball, Sports, and Cryptids
I am a lifelong baseball fan. No denying it. I’ve been a card-carrying member of SABR for decades (if you don’t need to ask what SABR stands for, well, you understand). My two sons inherited the passion and they have become successful players. One is a winning leftie relief pitcher, now a junior in high school; my other son is the starting third baseman, a sophomore, on a college team, after being the MVP at that same high school, as their starting shortstop and relief pitcher. Gladly, I see a lot of all kinds of games, and read a good [...]
Another Ohio Bigfoot Outing
There always seems to be a lot of Bigfoot gatherings in Ohio in the spring. Here’s word of another set to happen on Saturday, April 29, 2006. According to a brief notice in the Sunday Cleveland Plain Dealer, there is to be a Bigfoot conference in Cambridge, Ohio: If you’ve ever wondered whether Sasquatch was real, you might be enlightened at this gathering at the Salt Fort State Park Resort & Conference Center (on U.S. 22). It will feature speakers, including some who will give eyewitness accounts, plus supposed photos of the beast. The conference is 4-10 p.m. and is [...]
Minnesota Iceman at Sideshow World
In an effort to share some cryptozoological information with a new group of readers, and to obtain new information on the “mysterious millionaire,” I worked with John Robinson at Sideshow World to add an overview on that specialty site about the Minnesota Iceman. Check it out at their specific page now devoted to the Minnesota Iceman there. Robinson has also posted an interesting photograph of the van that the late Frank Hansen drove around with the exhibit. Look closely at the photograph on the top of the vehicle. The Minnesota Iceman. Copyright Loren Coleman 1969.
First Sasquatch Expedition – 72 Years Ago Today!
Fresno [California] Bee April 9, 1934 Californians Out To Bag Legendary ‘Sasquatch’ VANCOUVER (B.C.), April 9. — (AP) — America’s first Sasquatch-catching expedition headed into the mountains of British Columbia today on a hunt for the horrible, hairy, naked bogey-man of Indian legend. J. F. Blakeney and C. K. Blakeney, brothers, of Sacramento, medical students at the University of California, read reports of frightened tribesmen that the giant body-snatcher of old had been seen recently in the mountains north of Harrison Lake and determined to attempt to photograph or lasso a "Sasquatch." The fabled Sasquatch, as described in Indian lore [...]
