We all were young once. What kind of member of the next generation of Bigfooters are you? What’s up with the present crop of Sasquatch seekers? Let me shout out a challenge to the Bigfoot hunters and researchers here who are 40 years old and under. I usually don’t say things so strongly about this subject, but in this case, allow me to make some observations through the gray hairs flickering in front of my eyes on this windy and cold day. Is there a Bigfooters Age War developing? As some of you know, I run a few group lists [...]
Sunday Comics: Loren Coleman, Cryptid Hunter
Peter Loh has penned a new image (above), and I feel honored to be placed under his own special cryptocartoonist’s magnifying glass, once again. In “My Comic Life,” I overviewed various artists’ past graphic attempts to capture me, including the following by Loh: That Loren, the fedora-wearing Loren, was created by Loh for Scott Marlowe’s Crypto-Man comic series. Goofy in the Pine Tree State (no telling which one is Goofy) is one of Peter Loh’s more subtle but funny renderings, which touched close to home, as this is a visual commentary on the 2006 Maine Mutant investigation. To see more [...]

Nashville And Bobbing Black Cats
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew Nashville Cats, been playin’ since they’s babies Nashville Cats, get work before they’re two — by John B. Sebastian, Lovin’ Spoonful, 1967. Is this cryptid black cat a melanistic bobcat (Lynx rufus/Felis rufus)? Back on November 19, 2006, I wrote about the sightings and then videotape of a large short-tailed cat seen in Nashville, Tennessee. Speculations covered caracal, lynx, and bobcat. The two images below are from the video taken of the Tennessee Mystery Cat: Ben Willis of Bigcats.org brings to my attention that a road-killed [...]
Southern Fried Bigfoot
Coming to a DVD, hopefully during 2007, Sean Whitley’s documentary, Southern Fried Bigfoot will showcase his several years journey collecting footage about a distinct type of unknown hairy hominoids. Whitley wanted to clarify some recent comments found in a press interview on Chester Moore noted on Cryptomundo, in which a reader might get the idea that Moore was the individual "completing" this film. Sean Whitley, writer/director of Southern Fried Bigfoot (SFB), wishes to share the following…: To set the record straight about Southern Fried Bigfoot for Cryptomundo: Chester Moore, like Craig Woolheater and Loren Coleman, has been a part of [...]
Footprints
This year is starting off with a bang regarding the Skunk Ape. First, I wondered aloud if it was time to ponder the Myakka case anew (please note, not "Port Myakka" as given below), and now this (first published overnight with a different headline, since updated here, as it appears in today’s paper): January 02, 2007 Miami Herald "Kids armed with cameras chase after the Skunk Ape" by Curtis Morgan The scene: the Everglades, mysterious in the darkness. Four college kids, armed only with a night-vision camera, trudge through palmetto thicket, guided by a snake-booted man who claims to have [...]
First Cryptid Sighting in 2007?
Every year I watch to see what is the first cryptid sighting that is mentioned in the media and what is the actual first cryptid encounter. Take for instance 2000. On January 2nd, news services reported that in the rural Malaysian village of Kampung Chennah, durian farmer Liong Chong Shen, 50, smelling a strong odor and hearing a grunt, turned to see two mystery ape-like animals covered in long, shiny, black and brown hair. The mawas (as they are locally called) stared at the startled farmer, and walked back into the nearby rainforest. As fate would have it, this 2000 [...]
Cold Case Investigation For 2007: The Myakka Photos
All Photographs and Enhancements of the Myakka Photographs on this page are © David Barkasy and Loren Coleman 2001. It all began with a December 22, 2000, letter signed “God Bless. I prefer to remain anonymous,” mailed to the Sarasota (Florida) Sheriff’s Department. Two photographs were enclosed. I’ve written about this extensively, so for some quick details, merely click here. For this blog, it is more about just re-viewing the images, not reading the words. Let’s look. I’d like to see more progress on this one, either pro or con, in 2007. Here’s a selection of the photographs, with details [...]
The Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2006
Top Ten Bigfoot Stories of 2006 by Loren Coleman, coauthor The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates. In the 1950s, anything covered in hair, upright or nearly so, and appearing to be an unknown human-like creature was called an “Abominable Snowman.” Today, the universal term, cryptozoologically speaking, used for any hidden, uncaught, or yet-to-be-verified hairy hominoid, hominid, or anthropoid, anywhere in the world is “Bigfoot.” Here are the top ten stories that appeared from broadcast media to blogs, from newspapers to network news, globally, regarding the topic of “Bigfoot.” 1.
