Twelve Seconds of New Bigfoot Footage?
The Edmonton Sun is reporting that an… …Edmonton man claims to have at least 12 seconds of video footage that proves Bigfoot exists. He’s incorporated it into a 30-minute documentary that’s airing at the Citadel [in Edmonton, Alberta] next Thursday [November 9, 2006]. The movie is called Sylvanic, a derivative of a native word used in southern British Columbia to describe the “shadow guardians of the mountains” says movie maker Todd Standing, 33.

Okay, tell me something I don’t know, please! What is it? See below. The news out of Scotland, as for example in the Scotsman article, “Scientist pours cold water on Loch Ness dinosaur theory”, is propelling the finding that Nessie is not a plesiosaur, which really is not a dinosaur anyway (but that’s another story). Here’s part of what the “breaking news” services you will read today [...]

A publication called Pitch Weekly in Kansas City, Missouri, has stepped up with one of the first critiques of the Bates traveling exhibition in a column called, “Art Capsule Reviews” for November 2, 2006. In Santiago Ramos’ November 2nd review, he writes: Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale – A cryptid is a creature like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster — that is, lost, rumored or thought to be extinct. Cryptozoology is a science — or pseudoscience, depending on whom you ask — that studies such creatures. A real-life cryptozoologist named Loren Coleman joins 17 artists from around the [...]

To many he was the godfather of television science fiction, a [...]
