In a kingdom built on make-believe, it is a big deal when the masters of fun and fantasy decide to place a focus of cryptozoology into the midst of their own real-life zoo. This covert positioning was not lost on reporter Buck Wolf. Wolf talked to me a couple of weeks ago because he knows of my extensive Yeti research, and he understood I had assisted the Disney people, behind the scenes. I supplied information, a photograph and background data on the Tom Slick (see below) Yeti cast for their exhibition, and pointed them to others who owned the rights [...]
MA HB Ends
It is Friday, March 31 (a day I predicted on Wednesday we would hear about earthquakes). This day will see the hardcover and paperback editions of Mysterious America from Paraview go out of print. No more hardback copies of Mysterious America again. Famed natural history artist Alexis Rockman painted the cover depicting a real encounter he and his associates had with a giant catfish. Your last day to buy either paperbound or hardbound copies of Mysterious America online is today.
Ely Video Is Back
In only a few days this week, the Ely Sasquatch Video has been posted, removed, enhanced, re-posted in “regular” and “closeup” versions, then new footage found that was posted, and finally, yesterday, all of the footage was removed. After the removal, Richard Sade posted a comment at my Cryptomundo blog, “Ely Footage Removed,” which read simply: “The world is not ready for what I wanted to show them.” Then very late last night, Richard Sade re-posted his “closeup” segment. The footage can now (while it lasts) be viewed here. Also, Sade placed this note with the late March 24th newly [...]
Jumping Johor Roundup
Considering the recent Johor Bigfoot news was about the destruction of footprints, things have taken a positive turn, by week’s end. Reports of new encounters, a commitment to evidence preservation, and a May 2006 expedition make for an exciting roundup of Malaysian Bigfoot happenings. Be forewarned, however, this is not your grandparents’ “Bigfoot”. As noted in The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates, we are dealing with something that is very different than your run-of-the-mill Sasquatch, of course. Old snaggle-tooth is back, in a close encounter of the hairy kind. Also, please turn off your cellphone while reading [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Sub Rosa’s Profiler
In today’s release of Sub Rosa Magazine, Issue 4, March 2006, there’s a kind biotreatment of your Cryptomundo blogger, in their “Profiler: In Search of Loren Coleman.” The journal is available as a PDF download from the Sub Rosa website. Enuf said.
