Cryptomundo buddy Boing Boing’s David Pescovitz received a great acknowledgment for his service to cryptozoology on July 22nd: Design Toscano’s Garden Yeti. It was presented to him by Nick Philip of the Imaginary Foundation. Congratulations to David! BTW, David mentions that his two-and-half year old son Lux was “slightly scared of the creature at first, but then he cautiously walked up, examined him closely, and finally patted him on the head and said ‘Nice Bigfoot! Bigfoot is nice!’” As an update to the situation with the stolen Bigfoot/Garden Yeti from Niki’s Quick Six, the latest word is that despite hopes [...]
Hire Me To Find Bigfoot For $150,000!
Yes, you can sign up and bid on an eBay auction for a Bigfoot hunter’s services! David Pescovitz over at Boing Boing has alerted me to a unique type of auction going on over at eBay. There’s a hunter who is selling his/her services to hunt “Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti,” and the person “will search for and find” Sasquatch for a price. So writes eBay user TPeterson6969 (those numbers aren’t sexual references, are they?). As David says, “Starting bid for his or her services is $150,000.” This Bigfooter says, “I have been a big game hunter nearly all of my life [...]
GI Joe: Search for the Sasquatch
For the long Independence Day weekend, how about some light matters to enjoy? Sean Whitley, writer/director of Southern Fried Bigfoot, has run across a couple new items of interest. The first is a limited edition “Search for the Sasquatch” set (see above). It was an exclusive item sold at the Official GI Joe Convention held in Dallas, Texas, which Sean and his brother attended last weekend. At $270.00 (that’s not a typo), the set was too expensive for Sean, but he snapped some pictures he wanted to share with Cryptomundians. There is also a new video that goes along with [...]
What Is Yowie?
Allegedly, this is an artist’s impression of the Yowie. What is happening here? Are folks saying that the Yowie is nothing more than an Australian form of Bigfoot? What kind of beast is the Yowie? First, a little introduction to why I am asking… The Ray Wallace-created wooden tool, above, is compared with an often-published “Bigfoot” print, the Blue Creek track. Wallace’s hoaxed tracks have hurt the database of hominology, but they do not ultimately distract the field from the questions at hand. People still wonder about what is Bigfoot. (Dave Rubert photo of the wooden fake is used by [...]
Creature Creator’s Cryptids
The following is a guest blog from Miguel Romero, a.k.a Red Pill Junkie, and Cryptomundo appreciates his insights into this speciality topic: Electronic Arts (EA), one of the biggest developers of videogames in the world, is about to release the much anticipated Spore, created by Will Wright, the man behind the acclaimed SIMs titles that let gamers create and administer entire cities, or manage the lives and social interactions of customized virtual characters, also known as avatars. But Spore is a much more ambitious experience—which is one of the reasons it has taken so long to be developed—since the goal [...]
Martian Yeti?
In honor of ice being discovered on Mars, Henry Stokes has posted about the closest Martian equivalent to the Yeti he could find over at “I Love The Yeti.” And there are even replicas. For more, see Henry’s posting here.
The Cryptozoology Season
Is there a new public attack on the Bigfoot and Sasquatch research work of Grover Krantz to be launched soon in London? Or, actually, less melodramatically, what will be said? Cryptozoology Season at the Grant Museum: The Grant Museum is located at the University College London – Gower Street – London – WC1E 6BT – United Kingdom +44 (0)20 7679 2000. The Grant Museum is taking advantage of the popularity of “cryptozoology” by putting on a variety of lectures in what they call “The Cryptozoology Season.” I especially hope some learned cryptozoologists, hominologists, and colleagues get to hear the one [...]
What Is Bigfoot?
Of the routine and infrequent fossil candidates submitted for consideration as to the origins of Bigfoot/Sasquatch, which one is your favorite? I begin with the premise that this unknown, yet-to-be-verified, hairy bipedal hominoid is an actual biological species. Getting beyond the argument of whether or not Bigfoot exists, what do you think might be the fossil candidate best matching the sightings and evidence of the classic Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot, Patty, and the specimens seen during encounters aligned with her, from the Pacific Northwest of the USA and Canada? The reconstructions of William Munns give some new views of how these fossil [...]
India’s Mande Barung
In the US it’s known as Bigfoot, in Canada as Sasquatch, in Brazil as Mapinguary, in Australia as a Yowie, in Indonesia as Sajarang Gigi and, most famously of all, in Nepal as a Yeti. The little known Indian version of this legendary ape-like creature is called Mande Barung – or forest man – and is reputed to live in the remote West Garo hills of the north-eastern state of Meghalaya. I was invited by passionate yeti believer Dipu Marak to travel throughout the area to hear for myself what he says is compelling evidence of the existence of a [...]
LEGO Bigfoot and Yeti
Joel Johnson (the Boing Boing correspondent who toured and filmed my museum) has alerted me to the mention and actual work of Mike Stimpson, involving LEGO photography and various classic photographs that Stimpson has recreated. One of the greatest new images that Stimpson uploaded this week is an amazing Lego recreation of that famed frame from the Patterson-Gimlin footage. You know which one I’m talking about. It is “Frame 352″ from the film, showing the apparent female Bigfoot, today nicknamed “Patty.” Stimpson’s intriguing recreation… …was based on this: Of course, who could have ever known? Discovering Stimpson’s Lego recreation of [...]
