Bigfoot: Ten Video Appearances
Over at “Forces of Good,” Stefan Blitz has posted his ten most favorite video clips of “Bigfoot Appearances.” I note that only two appearances of the gathering, #1 and #10, can be said to be nonfiction. Most are popular culture icons, snippets from movies, ads, and reality programs that are entirely fictional. Nevertheless, it is a good little collection, and Blitz is to be congratulated for posting these YouTube-like clips all in one place. Here is his list: TOP TEN BIGFOOT APPEARANCES Ah, the famed Sasquatch. Of all of my favorite crypto-creatures, you are by far my favorite. Luckily, the [...]

History Channel Visit
I’m taking a break from working with the History Channel crew that is here now. They are setting up the place for an interview with me to be shown on a forthcoming cryptozoology series. Lighting always takes more than people who haven’t gone through this can imagine. There’s the sunlight coming in from outside, the light bouncing off glass, the backlight, frontlight, right or left side shooting angle, and more. It does take awhile. They are working hard, but don’t want a soda. They are on task. The crew has been in Maine for a few days, taping interviews upstate, [...]
What’s Your Bigfoot IQ?
Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America Here’s a new quiz that goes to the depths of your knowledge on Sasquatch and Bigfoot research. I’m joking, of course, for it is only ten questions long, but it is a good survey of some high points of your awareness of the field. It is more difficult than the previous quiz: Quiz – All About Hairy The same comment guidelines apply, as with the CZ IQ quiz. Please don’t ruin the intrigue and fun for people coming after you, even months from now. So, simple rules: You post any answers, proper [...]
Southern Bigfoot, Sex, Orgone & Trailers
Double-entendre: A word or phrase having a double meaning; the use of such a word or phrase. Here’s my double-entendre for the month: trailers. Below is the video trailer to the forthcoming documentary by writer/director Sean Whitley, Southern Fried Bigfoot. As a trailer, you will note it does not have CG identifications of the people being interviewed. But I have a feeling many of you will know who all of these guys being interviewed are. Trailers are teasers to encourage people to come watch the whole film. I think you will be intrigued by what you see. Within this trailer, [...]
Cryptomundo’s Ultimate CZ FAQs
(Click on image to see full size version, enhanced by shockbeton) Fans, friends, and readers of Cryptomundo, I have an idea that it might be good to have a permanent “Cryptomundo’s Frequently Asked Questions” location attached to the Cryptomundo site. Perhaps it would be via a long blog of answers, or series of blogs. Maybe it would be a hyperlinked sidebar dedicated location. I see this as a gift in return to all those who have done so much to keep my blogging alive here. Let me see if this will work. The details will be ironed out. But the [...]
Marysville Track
Reports of Bigfoot in California have been discussed in the media for over a week, as Craig has noted here. Above is a photograph taken of the picture of one of the Marysville tracks. What do you think of it?
Krantz on Skookum Cast
There’s a new argument occurring over at the James Randi skeptics forum, between Bigfoot promoters and skeptics, this last week in February 2007. It’s all about the unlikely subject of what was said by anthropologist Grover Krantz regarding the reality of the Skookum Cast. Here’s the result of some research and what may be the “final” confusing answer on the matter. In 2004, Scott Herriott engaged in a spirited exchange with John Green on the Bigfoot Yahoo list about the subject. Herriott displayed some skepticism pertaining to Green’s claim that Krantz had endorsed the Skookum Cast. After all, Herriott remarked, [...]
Swamp Creature Actor Dies
Doctor, I was thinking… just the work that you’ve done with the crocodiles and taking them back along the evolutionary path and making them into fish would be enough to win you world acclaim.“Tom,” Curse of the Swamp Creature Yes, but acclaim… that’s nothing. To create life, to move it up and down the evolutionary path… that’s something. Something I don’t think you quite appreciate, Tom.“Dr. Simond Trent,” Curse of the Swamp Creature The plot to Curse of the Swamp Creature is about as simple as the movie. Deep in the rural swamps of east Texas the mad Dr. Simond [...]
