Windigo can be the hairy hominoid, the cannibal giant, and the psychosis. The three are merging and swirling around in the recent story of the decapitation and eating of flesh on the Canadian Greyhound bus. The Windigo (also known as the Wendigo, Windago, Windiga, Witiko, Wihtikow, and numerous other variants) is an unknown hairy hominoid tied to the legends and folklore of First Nations people linked by the Algonquin languages. The Windigo is a bipedal hairy creature, equal to the Eastern Bigfoot, Stone Giant, or Marked Hominid in some classification systems, which is often said to have aggressive behaviors and [...]

New Gorilla Population Estimate Criticized
For years cryptozoological researchers have been questioned and criticized for estimating the population of large hairy unknown primates in North America, most often called Bigfoot and Sasquatch. Now comes news that the world is excited by the findings from the Wildlife Conservation Society that the western lowland gorilla subspecies is estimated to be 125,000 animals strong. Xihuanet news is reporting that wildlife researchers on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, announced a major increase in the population of lowland gorillas after a new census tallied more than 125,000 in an 18,000-square-mile (47,000-square-kilometer) deeply forested area of the Republic of Congo. Estimates from [...]
Georgia Body Update
You won’t see too much from me here any longer on the alleged Bigfoot body from the Georgia gentlemen, until an actual body is produced. Following their burning of my Bigfoot! book (after it previously was apparently being used as a reference work), it became obvious it was counter-productive to report on them. But for the sake of keeping you informed, here are various so-called developments in their ongoing melodrama. They have removed from the internet all of their previous videos, and are floating a recent one around that gives these two “facts”: ~ bigfttrkrs are now associated with Tom [...]
Pennsylvania’s Breaking Bigfoot Sightings
The recent rumors of a white Bigfoot in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, are spotlighted in this video news report. The “White Bigfoot” being seen near Carbondale, Pennsylvania, may be related to this, “Strange Hominid Sighting Reported Near Red Lion, York County, Pennsylvania,” for July 18, detailed on July 30th, here. Carbondale is 171 miles away, mostly north on I-81, from Red Lion in York County, Pennsylvania. It would seem they hardly are related. But stranger links have been made, of course. The account begins… “I received a telephone call today from a woman who claims to have seen a small Bigfoot-like creature [...]

Coleman vs Nickell: Round Two for Champ Week
Round One: In the otter competitive battle between the forces of good and evil, the following is the clip from CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now,” for June 1, 2007, on Nessie, which was run in the final moments of her program. It was originally scheduled to be five minutes long. At the time, my author friend Jerry Clark noted that what was operating here, in counterpoint to my view, was: The Nickell principle: “We will take up an existence by its otters.” Coincidentially, another good friend, Patrick Huyghe emailed me: “Joe was otterly ridiculous.” Round Two: Bigfoots and Yetis and Champ, [...]
Bigfoot!: A Book for Burning?
“Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.” ~ Heinrich Heine, from his play Almansor. Warning: profanity, insults, homophobia, and book & effigy burnings are standard fare now in the ongoing media theater from the gentlemen from Georgia. In 1933, Nazis burned works of Jewish authors, and other works considered “un-German,” at the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin. Who would have thought the guys in Georgia, so starved for attention, would resort to burning my Bigfoot! book, and dipping into homophobic attacks on my book, my name, and Matt Moneymaker? The works of [...]
Bigfoot Body “Accidentally Found”
The story of how the claimed Bigfoot body in Georgia was found is slowly being revealed. But first a moment to take a deep breath. The Bigfoot Trackers of Georgia have gained a lot of self-congratulatory mileage from going after Cryptomundo and others as their “enemies.” Of course, this is silly, and yet does make for emotional YouTube videos that do not present their cause too well in the public’s eye. Cryptomundo doesn’t feel anything in relationship to this entire melodrama other than interest. Yes, Cryptomundo’s hopes are presented as realistic, balanced with a skeptical intrigue in seeing the body [...]
