I was born the year a Bigfoot was reportedly killing dogs and sheep around Pine Ridge, Missouri; see page 230, of Janet and Colin Bord’s Bigfoot Casebook Updated. I am still in pursuit of the elusive Wetzel Kangaroo Beer empties or label. I don’t drink, but cryptobrewology lives on. Unlike some of [...]
A Pterodactyl in the Pool Cabana
There’s a Pterodactyl in the Pool Cabana So Brian passed it along, With a pat on the nose and a song. From Freaky Links in the South, Yikes, look at that mouth. Thanks Patrick for taking the family heat With the head in your passenger seat. To some, it’s a bizarre abomination, Seeking love, far from its final destination. The thing is in search of its new home. The creature has more miles to roam. Does it appear as an unwelcome louse? Nay, now it’s in the pool house. No need for further trepidation, Or even swimmers’ consternation. No reason [...]

Cryptozoo by Mail
Ever wanted your own personalized cryptid? Well, for twenty bucks you can have your idea envisioned by an artist who quickly draws your desire, via Monster by Mail. (See more ordering info at the bottom of this posting.) Thanks to Rogier van Bakel, I heard about this artist, Len Peralta who is in the midst of drawing a very limited number (150) of “Cryptozoo” cryptids. Getting in contact with Len, I challenged the artist to do an original hand-drawn sample of his specially imagined “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” with a Yeti, Nessie, Bigfoot, Mothman, and Dover Demon, and email me the result. [...]
Surprise Appearance on C2C
I just received a telephone call. I’ve been invited to make an appearance on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory tonight (overnight May 16th into the morning of May 17th, 2007) between 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM Pacific, 11:00 PM – midnight Mountain,, midnight – 1:00 AM Central, 1:00 AM – 2:00 AM Eastern. C2C seems very interested in the new Mystery Giant Turtle Photos! But I told C2C’s producer Tom, right off the bat, the photos probably are of a decomposing whale. They still want to talk about cryptozoology in general. George was a little rushed at the [...]
Update: Kerala Thunderbird Photo
This photographic update and comparison on the recent “New Thunderbird Photos” posting shows a possible species that may or may not explain the Indian example. You be the judge. Regarding the “Thunderbird” photograph (above) taken in Kerala, India, French cryptozoology student Fabrice Tortey suggests that although “size evaluation in the sky without point of reference is rather tricky, I think the birds are probably black kites (Milvus migrans govinda). The shape of the tail is characteristic.” See two photos of this species below. I’m not certain how much can be seen of the tail from the distance demonstrated by this [...]
New Thunderbird Photos
Please click on image for full size version The above photograph was sent to me via a Cryptomundo reader. Maybe people are already aware of this photo of a giant bird sighting. And maybe it’s a hoax. It looks pretty real to me though. I was stunned when I first saw it. Wish I knew who took it. It is from a Hong Kong website, where people who fly RC airplanes post pictures. One of the pictures has an RC flying in front of an enormous eagle-looking bird. Kate, sent to Cryptomundo, May 2007 French cryptozoologist Michel Raynal forwards the [...]

New Mexico’s Bighoot
Ornimegalonyx oteroi Bighoot, the Flying Head by Mike Smith In the piney mountains and desert mesas of southcentral New Mexico, citizens of the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation still tell legends of an enormous and evil bird: Big Owl. The Jicarilla Apaches, along the state’s northern edge, also talk of Big Owl-near slickrock canyons and beneath the gray bluffs of their reservation-but in their stories Big Owl will often paralyze humans just by staring at them, and after doing so swallows them whole, just as smaller owls swallow mice. Mark A. Hall, noted cryptozoologist and author of Thunderbirds: America’s Living Legends [...]
