Okay, all of us can see evidence that the Malaysia "Bigfoot" story has exploded into the mainstream when even USA Today decides to cover the story. But then, we also realize it is getting a little long in the tooth when the same newspaper can’t be any more creative than to use the old terrible Ivan Marx photo of a probable man-in-a-suit to illustrate their supposedly overview news item. Outrageous. Those pix from the 1970s have nothing to do with Malaysia, and little to do with the real Bigfoot! I certainly want the Malaysian scientists to succeed and find some [...]

Coleman on C2CAM
I’ll be on Coast to Coast AM on January 26, 2005, Thursday night (Friday am on the East Coast), doing a brief update report on “Bigfoot” and related hairy hominoid news. I should come on during the first “news” hour, probably around 10:10 PM Pacific, 1:10 AM Eastern, for thirty minutes or so.

Don Abbott, 70, Has Died
BC Archaeologist Who Examined Bigfoot Tracks in 1967 Don Abbott was the curator of Archaeology at the Royal British Columbia Museum from 1960 until 2000. Abbott had a serious stroke in 2004, which left him paralyzed on one side. He had another major stroke in the spring of 2005 and died a few months afterward on July 28, 2005, at the age of 70. Don Abbott had one of those significant footnote moments important to cryptozoology and hominology. As the first field archaeologist at the Royal British Columbia Museum, Abbott was assigned to go examine the series of Bigfoot tracks [...]
Teams to Search for Orang Dalam
Malaysian media reports today that two teams of researchers will search the wilderness areas for their local “Bigfoot,” which, as I have mentioned before here (1, 2, 3), should more properly be called “Orang Dalam.” These cryptid hairy hominoids have been seen in the Malaysian rainforests of Tanjung Piai, Mersing, Kahang, Endau-Rompin National Park and Kota Tinggi. The recent wave of media interest developed after workers at a fish pond in Kampung Mawai, Kota Tinggi claimed to have seen in November 2005, a three-member family of these creatures, composed of two apparent adults and a child. As to the proposed [...]
New Malaysian Footprints
There’s been a new find of some remarkable footprints in Malaysia. They appear to be four-toed. Are they the tracks of the unknown hairy hominoid, the Orang Dalam from Malaysia? Or something else? As the media report notes: “Bio-dioversity researcher Vincent Chow, who yesterday [Tuesday, January 23, 2006, local Malaysia time] led a team of eight Bigfoot enthusiasts, including a professional from England, to investigate the footprints, said there was a strong possibility they were made by a Bigfoot creature.” The team decided they were not the tracks of elephants. But could this one animal that left footprints, but was [...]

Cryptozoology on the Travel Channel
As mentioned earlier here, the program Weird Travels on the Travel Channel has produced a series of episodes that focus on cryptozoology. One that just premiered a couple of weeks ago is being rebroadcast on January 30th. It is "Bigfoot" with Craig Woolheater, his crew, and a few words from yours truly, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, Eastern. But this is only the tip of the crypto-iceberg. The following is the schedule through the end of February for three episodes, "Lake Monsters" (about Nessie and Champ), "Creepy Creatures" (about Sasquatch, Loch Ness Monsters, and Mothman), and "Bigfoot." All times are [...]
Locals Look for Malaysia “Bigfoot”
The Malaya Mail is reporting the logical next step in the unfolding “Bigfoot” story in Malaysia. Local scientists want to beat all the promised international media and expeditions to the punch. What will the locals discover their unknown hairy hominoids actually look like? And how do these cryptids compare to other hairy hominoids seen in the region, as shown in The Field Guide to Bigfoot? “Local experts want priority in the hunt,” proclaims today’s headline. The Kuala Lumpur newspaper on January 23, 2006, notes: Universiti Putra Malaysia’s Animal Science Department head Professor Dr Azahar Kassim said, with numerous Bigfoot sightings [...]
