Setting the Record Straight: CareerBuilder.com I have been told and asked about some statements that have been attributed to me in an “article” that appeared a little over a week ago. Apparently, in various Sunday CareerBuilder.com special insert sections of The Baltimore Sun, The Chicago Tribune, and other newspapers for February 11, 2007, I was profiled. I have been identified as having the profession: “Bigfoot Hunter,” in some versions of the piece. I was not paid for this item, and wonder if it is more an ad than an article? Anyway, the written treatment in the CareerBuilder.com section sounds like [...]
Bigfoot Fan Dies In Iraq
On February 8, 2007, the war in Iraq took someone who had lived a life that pursued passions in Bigfoot, dinosaurs, and “the unbelievable,” as one friend recalled. Ross “Rocco” Clevenger (pictured above), 21, of Marsing, Idaho, was a U.S. Army Reserve sergeant, who died with two other Idaho buddies when a roadside bomb hit their armored vehicle in Iraq. Today, Clevenger’s funeral will be held in the Idaho gym of the high school he attended. In his friends’ remembrances, it is clear Clevenger shared many interests of all of us here. Here’s some of those recollections: It’s hard to [...]
Donnie Darko and Bunny Men
For those looking for a concrete location where the Bunny Man sightings have been said to occur, try the Bunny Man Bridge.
Update: Olaf the Giant Images
Click on image for full size version This is a followup to the previous posting, “Olaf, Grover Krantz and Bigfoot”. Craig Heinselman looked in his files and shares what he found: this terrible archival photocopy from the Chronicle Telegram, Elyria, Ohio, for September 23, 1985. It’s something, but merely reinforces how we can’t “see” this object. I will use this location to place any better images of Olaf the Giant that are sent in to Cryptomundo. Thank you all for looking.
Olaf, Grover Krantz and Bigfoot
Do you know the story of Olaf the Giant and the Anthropologist? This Valentine’s Day, as I mentioned here, is the 5th anniversary of the death of Professor Grover Krantz, Bigfoot researcher, who passed away at the age of 70. Krantz, it will be recalled, was the author of Big Footprints (Boulder: Johnson, 1992), revised as Bigfoot Sasquatch Evidence (Seattle: Hancock House, 1999), and the editor of The Sasquatch and Other Unknown Hominoids (Calgary: Western Publishing, 1984, with archaeologist Vladimir Markotic). Grover’s special type of academic vinegar is missed today. As many people know, Krantz would leave no stone unturned [...]
A Life Explored In Words
I sometimes neglect the fact that few people know really what I have written, in total. Today, for example, a young man emailed me with this message: “How many books have you done Loren? I have only come across two.” Well, I can forget myself, often, for many reasons. It happens. Ha ha. Memory and lists of things-to-do aside, one reason is that there are many ways to count the unfolding of my life that occurs via my modest library of written works. You can look at “how many” in terms of various editions, revisions, and reprints. Or you can [...]
Cryptids on Fate
Steve Klein’s complete gallery of Fate Magazine covers can be found here. This all-encompassing collection of Fate covers has many that feature Bigfoot, Nessie, Yeti, and other cryptozoological subjects, including a Skunk Ape, apparently. Klein’s work (and our notice of it) continues the look – visually and graphically – at the popular cultural impact of Fate, which was recently noted by Mark Frauenfelder at Boing Boing. Needless to say, many of these covers are cryptozoological in nature, but most are not.
5th Anniversary: Bigfoot Loses Krantz
It’s only been five years, but it seems like yesterday and yet long ago. As Valentine’s Day comes rushing closer in 2007, a moment to recall Grover, the Ph. D. of Sasquatch…from my overview I wrote soon after he passed away in 2002. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Grover S. Krantz, an anthropologist who was never afraid to take the unpopular academic position that the primates which he called Sasquatch (he thought “Bigfoot” was not scholarly) actually exist, died peacefully, on the morning February 14, 2002, in his Port Angeles, Washington State home. As the modern era’s first academically-affiliated physical anthropologist to actively involve [...]
Bigfoot’s Beckjord Has Cancer
Bigfoot badboy Jon-Erik Beckjord has released a statement that he has cancer. In conjunction with this release of information, Beckjord says he is trying to sell, once again, his copy of the Patterson-Gimlin footage of a Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California, taken on October 20, 1967. The footage is available on most good documentaries about Bigfoot, but, as Beckjord has noted in his past attempts to sell it on eBay for one million dollars ($1,000,000), he feels his copy is unique. How he obtained that copy is not known and not stated. Beckjord, states for the first time, as far [...]
Byrne: Marx/Biscardi Bigfoot Photo Hoax
Has anyone noticed that Tom Biscardi is still using the Ivan Marx film clips discredited by Peter Byrne in 1971? Perhaps people have failed to even look at the frames from the 1970s’ films? Or read their history? The notorious alleged 1970s Bigfoot trickster and Ivan Marx associate, who attempted to pull off the “send in your money and see the Bigfoot I’ve captured” trickery on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, may be in a neighborhood near you. Old news, right? Rapidly having departed Happy Valley, California, and disassociated from past associates in Las Vegas, Tom Biscardi has [...]
