The History Channel, in conjunction with “MonsterQuest” via MSN, have been issuing videotaped interviews with myself and others. These vignettes are presented from the “files of The History Channel with cryptozoologist, author and lecturer Loren Coleman, anthropologist David Gilmore, biologist Richard Ellis and folklorist Adrienne Mayor” offering commentary on the legends of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, mermaids and dragons. Video vignettes with short commercial introductions are online at MSN. Here is their “Bigfoot” video.

Beautiful New Manta Video
The smaller manta. The larger manta, the new species. It truly is a tale of Beauty and the Beast. Dr. Andrea Marshall is shown on a beautiful new video, swimming with the recently discovered manta and discussing her discovery. The scenes remind me of the swimming ballet of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Dr. Marshall (pictured above & below) can be viewed on the video by clicking here. Quite compelling. Dr. Andrea Marshall is also pictured above. The photo accompanies her notice that she supports her work by conducting trips and tours related to manta research. In one planned [...]

Classic Bigfoot Cases
In these days of blobsquath and bad Bigfoot footage, it is often forgotten that some cases which are taken as landmark sightings use to just be “sightings in the Sasquatch file.” Take a break from the claims of a Bigfoot body and the repeating eBay auctions for a “Bigfoot hunter,” to stop for a moment to view part of this old documentary, Bigfoot: Man or Beast (1972). The film captures interviews with eyewitnesses familiar from your readings of Bigfoot material, e.g. Fred Beck and Albert Ostman. Also, you can see here early investigators Ron Olson and John Green. I think [...]
When Cryptozoologists Die
Bill Rebsamen’s tribute to Scott Norman, who passed away suddenly earlier in 2008. This may be a difficult essay for you to read, but this is a subject we all have ignored for a long time. There is a darker side that occurs after the obituaries and remembrances are written. What happens after the tributes are published? Why have we avoided the obvious, and watched legacies vanish? There are some things I’ve got to say. We shall pick up an existence by its frogs. Wise men have tried other ways. They have tried to understand our state of being, by [...]

$400 Reward For $100 Bigfoot
There is a strong woman involved in this update to my earlier “Sasquatch Statue Stolen” posting. Nicole Hosack, the owner of Niki’s Quick Six is trying hard to get her hubbie’s Sasquatch back. She has created her own website with links ~ she left out Cryptomundo, humm ~ and a bit of new info. Her backstory about her husband’s and his friends’ early interest in hunting Bigfoot is interesting. Back in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s, during the age of hair bands and IROC Camaros, pegged jeans and grunge rock, a young Jared Hosack had a dream. That dream [...]
