Here’s a quick roundup of stories surfacing today, Sunday, May 14, 2006, on America’s Mother’s Day. Perhaps someone will get an idea for a quick fieldtrip to Mormon country, Malaysia, or Massachusetts, out of this gathering? But stay away from Memphis!
Part three of D. Robert Carter’s series on the Bear Lake Monsters and kin is in today’s Provo Daily Herald, “Fishermen find Utah Lake Monster.”
Here for you are the links to the two earlier parts: “Why Bear Lake Again?” and “Meandrous Monster Migrates to Utah Lake.”
On May 14, 2006, The New Straits Times published another article, “Johor to verify Bigfoot tales.” It hardly adds anything new to the Johor mystery.
It tells how at the opening of the RM2.6 million new building of Sekolah Menengah Pei Hwa, Sungai Mati, a government official named Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman* used the opportunity to say they would like to verify the “Bigfoot” reports. The Johor State Government’s Hes colla Steering Committee was collating media reports, eyewitness accounts and evidence of their existence, the paper reported.
“Although the committee was set up in February, the State Government will only launch a search expedition when we have concrete evidence of the existence of Bigfoot,” Ghani said after opening the yesterday. He said he was aware that Bigfoot had aroused global interest and this made it necessary to do a careful, comprehensive and orderly scientific study of the phenomenon.
The rest of the article takes (uncredited) quotes from the Cryptomundo posting the remarks of Dmitri Bayanov, International Centre of Hominology, congratulating Malaysian Bigfoot researchers, such as Vincent Chow, for “doing the right thing in carefully studying and compiling whatever evidence they have in a book rather than simply publicizing it.”
You read about this first under “From Russia, With Love” on May 9th, at Cryptomundo, and may visit there for more details.

*Jan McGirk, reporter at The Independent, notes in an email: “By the way, Ghani, the government official quoted, is the chief minister of Johor State, who has been risking ridicule and seeking scientific confirmation about the existence of the Malaysian Bigfoot research since January. He is comparable to a U.S. state governor and wields considerable political clout. His office got very upset about interlopers from Singapore sniffing around the edges of the rainforest for Mawas.”

Back closer to home, Managing Editor Dino Ciliberti at the Taunton Gazette in Massachusetts considers his “Life in the Bridgewater Triangle.” He briefly mentions “numerous sightings attributed to the triangle include gigantic snakes, huge birds and creatures that leave 18-inch footprints and are known as Bigfoot.”
If you live there, it’s the perfect place to take you Mom for Mother’s Day. Some of the local cafes in the Bridgewater Triangle are very rustic. Of course, the problem is, will you disappear on your return trip?
Have fun everyone.
And a special note to my Mom, Anna: Do have a great day…despite your love for Elvis, stay away from Graceland as they are reporting alligators near there. If you are lucky, maybe you’ll see Charlie Wetzel’s Lizardman around Riverside, California. Just remember, don’t light any matches near your oxygen tank.
