Chinese Lake Monster Videos: Fake or Real?
Reports of “monsters” in Lake Kansai have issued from China since at least the 1980s. In recent weeks, via news reports rebroadcast on YouTube, we are beginning to see various videos that are apparently of different animate objects. Are any of these motion pictures of animals? Or merely mistakes and known animals posing as cryptids? Well, you don’t need a weatherman to tell you which way that thar distance Lake Monsters, but do we even need a cryptozoologist for this one? Legendary lake ‘monster’ is captured on camera China’s Loch Ness monster has been sighted. Or so Chinese state-run television [...]
Fort Knox CryptoWeekend
For those readers who are keen observers, you will note that archival material is posted ahead of time to be published days later to Cryptomundo when I travel on short trips or long ones. Over the weekend, I was up the Coast of Maine, far from broadband internet access. Here’s part of what happened… Cryptozoologist speaks at Fort Knox fair Prospect [Maine] – Loren Coleman is not the typical hunter you might find stalking prey in the Maine woods. He’s not out to shoot anything, at least not with a gun. He’s a cryptozoologist who tries to determine the validity [...]

Johnson County, Kansas, People Chasing a Hairy Man. Kansas City, Mo., June 21. – The people living along Cedar Creek, in Johnson county, Kan., near Olathe, about thirty miles from this city, are greatly excited over the antics of some strange animal that roams through the woods in that part of the country.

The next morning a man employed on the farm of Edward Lane, living half a mile north [...]

The Giant Snake of Carter’s Lake

Happy Birthday Debunker of Yeti!
Today, July 20, 2007, Sir Edmund Hillary is 88 years old. Hillary’s name will always be linked, in my mind, to his World Book Encyclopedia-supported trek to Nepal in 1960, supposedly, to search for the “Abominable Snowman.” In reality, it actually allegedly was more about a spy mission against the Chinese, hidden in the media glare of a debunking Yeti expedition. The members of Hillary’s team (1) bought a bear skin that was declared to be a Yeti’s so it could be revealed to be a bear’s, (2) obtained a ritual religious object known to be made in imitation of [...]
The Day of the Triffids’ Kieron Moore Dies
In 1969, on July 20th, a man walked on the moon. Five days ago, one of the first men to walk with a Triffid died. Irish actor Kieron Moore, 82, died Sunday, July 15, 2007. He is one of the lead characters, Tom Goodwin in the motion picture, The Day of the Triffids. Playing an alcoholic biologist, Goodwin finds his core and ends up fighting the Triffids with vigor, while his character’s wife (played by Janette Scott) is credited with screaming a lot. The humans are stereotyped; the Triffids are not. For more on the acting career of Kieron Moore, [...]
Mt. Hood Bigfoot & Bear Video
Dianna Martin, who has been sharing what the Mt. Hood trailcam has been photographing, sends in this video which may show, first clearly a bear, and then perhaps closer to the cam’s lens – a Bigfoot, a bear cub, or what? Your opinions please.
