What and where are your favorite cryptozoology and Bigfoot museums throughout the world? Scotland’s cryptozoology collection at the National Museums of Scotland was recently highlighted in the Scotsman. The easiest exhibits to record, unfortunately, are often the hoaxes. Shown here are a Japanese-made mermaid and a Canadian-created furred trout, both taxidermy fakes. Dr. Geoff Swinney (below), Curator of Lower Vertebrates, Fish, Amphibians and Reptiles, National Museums of Scotland, examines the vertebrae of the Beast of Stronsay, from the carcass of the beast found on an Orkney island beach in 1808. Swinney, who is the resident cryptozoologist, in 1987, confirmed the [...]
Ely Footage Removed
The Ely Sasquatch Videoes (two original segments and the “forgotten” footage just discovered) have been removed by Richard Sade from the internet. While the BFRO was involved in assisting with placing a copyright on the video and enlarging the first segment, they were not responsible for withdrawing it, they exclusively tell Cryptomundo this evening. According to a source deep in that organization, the BFRO related to your Cryptomundo correspondent tonight: “No, we didn’t have the video removed. [The BFRO has] been back and forth with Mr. Sade on email, and his story has become increasingly shaky and frustrating. It’s a [...]
New Ely Footage
Richard Sade said he forgot that he captured more images on the original videotape, so he has posted new footage of the Ely Sasquatch running towards the road. See it here. Revisit the old footage (and over 60 Cryptomundo reader comments) here. See copies of one artist’s representations of what might be appearing in the first video release here. Okay, what are we to think now?
Johor Tracks Being Destroyed
Breaking news from Malaysia is hitting the wires today that local authories are bulldozing and destroying physical evidence of the Johor Bigfoot. Cryptozoologists and hominologists are outraged. Our message to Malaysia: Stop the destruction! Reports for March 23 exclaim: Tracks resembling giant footprints in forests around Kampung Lukut and Kampung Temening are being erased, seemingly to distract foreign tour groups on Bigfoot sighting expeditions here. The authorities have cut the eco-tourist influx at these villages and nearby foothills by bulldozing and clearing the secondary forest where the Bigfoot footprints and other evidence were discovered. The New Straits Times broke the [...]
Red Lake and Bigfoot
With all the interest in the new Ely Sasquatch Video, it seems like a good moment to mention the time-space links to Red Lake, Minnesota. Both locations are in northern Minnesota, just south of the Canadian border. Ely is 200 miles due east of Red Lake. Yesterday, as the Ely Sasquatch Video was exploding onto the internet via such sites as Cryptomundo, Boing Boing, The Anomalist, and Coast to Coast AM, the day also marked the first anniversary of an infamous school shooting with strange ties to Bigfoot. On March 21, 2005, Red Lake, Minnesota high school student Jeffrey James [...]
Vance’s First Article
Vance Orchard passed away March 7, 2006, in Walla Walla, Washington, ending a wonderful life of Bigfoot searching and reporting. Discussed here was Vance’s personal journey and what he appreciated from his quest. Vance also mentioned, in talks with me, a 1966 incident that drew him into the hunt for Bigfoot. Due to that incident, which he wrote about and was picked up by the Associated Press, Vance received a visit from Roger Patterson. Thanks to Scott McClean who has finally found the original article (below), and shares this news item with Cryptomundo. Click on article for full size version
Ely Sasquatch Video
An intriguing new video taken in Ely, Minnesota, in January 2006, by a person named Richard Sade has surfaced. The footage is of what Sade, at one point, calls the “Ely Bigfoot.” In another posting, Sade terms this the “Sasquatch Video.” I will call it simply the “Ely Sasquatch Video.” There is a regular version to view here. And a closeup here. From the site where it can be seen, this is the background on the Ely Sasquatch Video: Information regarding the footage. I was on highway 169 in Ely, Northern Minnesota. The date was January 26th, 2006. The time [...]
Malayasian Media Misinformation
The Malaysian newspaper, The New Strait Times has done a relatively good job of reporting on the "Malaysian Bigfoot" story, avoiding the sandtraps that exist in the usual media coverage you often read on such events. There has been little use of the "ridicule curtain," that invisible barrier of demeaning coverage that often develops by elitist writers who wish to demonstrate the "masses" don’t know what they are talking about. But that all changed with Rehman Rashid’s Opinion column on March 20th, "They seek him here, they seek him there…" that you will find in today’s New Strait Times. Rashid [...]
Claws in Tracks
Could this drawing, done from life, demonstrate why there are seemingly “claw” marks in some Bigfoot prints?
