Is there new Bigfoot activity stirring in Montana? Bigfoot sightings among Native peoples often indicate a series might soon follow or already might be occurring. Let us turn our eyes to the Blackfeet. And learn lessons from the Sioux. Caption: At left, Bruce Schildt’s kids stand near a line of tracks their father believes might belong to Bigfoot. The tracks were discovered Jan. 1, when the elder Schildt notified Blackfeet Fish and Wildlife and had them investigate. The best track is the one above. Schildt reports the tracks are about 18 inches long and 10 inches wide, and the stride [...]

Attacking Patterson’s “Video”
The countdown is on. Next year will see the 40th anniversary of the so-called “Patterson Film,” more properly labeled the Roger Patterson-Bob Gimlin film footage of a Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California, taken on October 20, 1967. Expect more and more attempts to examine this episode in cryptozoology in the coming months. Let’s hope they all are not as awful as the one critiqued here today. Andy Kaiser, a reporter at The Grand Rapids Press in Michigan demonstrates the foolishness that still exists among the media when Bigfoot is discussed. Kaiser wrote an article this week entitled "Do Video Enhancements [...]
A Track Is Not A Foot
Today, guest contributor Mark A. Hall, author of books on cryptozoology, the inventor of the concept of True Giants, and the editor of Wonders, shares his thoughts on the Malaysian evidence of four-toed tracks. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I have looked over the record of tracks for True Giants after all these impressions from Malaysia have been published. One of the first four-toed track photographs from Malaysia, December 2005. We are always learning more about these creatures. We know they have a mammalian limb so a fifth toe was once a part of their limbs, and it still might show up as it [...]
Malaysian Zoologist: Call Them Orang Dalam
Okay, I know. You’ve been hearing this from me for awhile. I have been hammering on the issue of names, that the Malaysian unknown hairy hominoids are hardly "Bigfoot," for weeks. Now comes the same message from Malaysia. This week, Malaysian zoologist Amlir Ayat decided to recommend one moniker for the cryptids. Here’s what he said to the local media: It would also help if a common name was used for the Bigfoot. He felt it would be a good idea to adopt the name "Orang Dalam" used by the Orang Asli, like the name Sasquatch for the American Bigfoot, [...]
Talking to Henry May
Today, I’m going to cross-post my interview by Henry May, who has a blog at the American Bigfoot Society Clearinghouse. Loren Coleman and the 8.5 ft tall "Crookston Bigfoot" at his International Cryptozoology Museum, Portland, Maine, summer 2005. Photo taken by Joseph Citro, used by permission. Hi, Henry Thank you for your growing site and your interest in chatting today. > 1. Do you believe the Malaysian Bigfoot is merely an orangtuan? First, I must say what I often say to the folks from the media: "Belief" is part of religion and faith. Therefore, when I am asked any [...]
What Do You See in This Cast?
This is the footcast found by Joshua Gates of Sci Fi Channel while on a recent Malaysian Bigfoot expedition. Consider the possibilities behind this track and share with Cryptomundo what you observe and consider significant to notice in this cast (below, under comments): Could it be…. A track representation of the Malaysian Mawas? Or Orang Dalam? Or what? How a footprint left by a giant ape survivor related to Gigantopithecus would appear? The reason the finds of the True Giant footprints seem to be four-toed? A reality television prank to see if people believe it? A Malaysian-produced hoax? What? What [...]
Who Was On That Malaysian Expedition?
An explosion of media attention today…at least three articles hitting the internet…news of an expedition…backing by a television show…a photograph of a footprint…and more. Fasten your seat belts. Sometimes it is only location and funding that separate cryptozoologists from the action. As I’ve been suggesting for weeks, Malaysian scientists are the obvious choices for going into the rainforest to look for their own "Bigfoot" first. Reports now from a London paper indicate that a team of "paranormal investigators," including an Australian tracker, a filmmaker from Los Angeles, a reality film crew, and apparently a British reporter are in hot pursuit [...]
Are There Three Kinds of Malaysian Bigfoot?
The story of the "Bigfoot" in the Endau-Rompin National Park, Malaysia, is becoming more complex. It seems like the time is ripe to sort out the media’s reports that the locals are seeing three types of hairy hominoids. According to the Bernama news service, on February 20, 2006, accounts surfaced that the locals, the Orang Asli, living along the Johor-Pahang border, claimed they have seen a variety of different-sized "Bigfoot" in the area. Illustration: Typical True Giant, drawing by Harry Trumbore, from Anomalist Books’ new edition of The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates by Loren Coleman and [...]
The Ray Wallace Debate – Part III
Okay, today, less words and more photographs, per your requests. Some facts: Ray Wallace produced fake imprints of Bigfoot tracks that generally followed a routine pattern. These items were revealed by various relatives after Wallace died in 2002. The following are two sets of the ones most often photographed. Both photographs © 2002 Dave Rubert. Used with permission. Facts: The Ray Wallace fakes do NOT match the Jerry Crew October 1958 foot cast that began the use of the word “Bigfoot” in a more widespread fashion, nor do they match the Bluff Creek filmsite prints from 1967, one of which [...]
