Neandertals left their tracks, above, behind. Have they interacted with modern humans in contemporary times, and left behind much more? Is there a record of human beings being abducted by hairy unknown hominids, perhaps even Neandertals in Europe? The reported sleeping position of the Ksy-gyik. Did it sleep with humans? Here is a list of a few possible kidnapping incidents, none of them before published in English, shared by Norwegian cryptozoologist Erik Knatterud: Spain, Sienra. Probably about 800 years ago. Baby abduction. An infant boy was stolen from his nanny, but a swift rescue party managed to find the boy [...]
Meldrum and the Media: A Manufactured Mini-Mess
How could a nice guy like Jeff Meldrum (above) get caught in a mini-mess in the press? It happens. An Editorial I wasn’t going to say anything about the article on the work of Dr. Jeff Meldrum. Hey, you all know about it, as mentioned here at Cryptomundo and elsewhere. I was hoping that the tempest in the teapot would go away. But I decided to put to rest some thoughts I have had during the day on the mini-mess in my attempt to move on and get back to the real news. It is the Saturday before a major [...]
Get The Vote Out – For Bigfoot!
On Saturday, November 4, 2006, the CNN Poll was conducting a survey (probably due to the Meldrum publicity) that read: “Do you believe that Bigfoot exists?” Update: The poll has been taken down. See end of this blog for more final thoughts. You can respond “Yes” or “No.” If you would like to “vote,” go to the CNN page (link here) and scroll down to the poll. It’s on the lower right side of the page. At 9:30 am Eastern, it’s still up and probably will be for several more hours. As of when I am posting this, of 21,909 [...]
Loren’s Top 10 Reasons For Cryptozoology Hoaxes
The cropped photograph of the so-called Ameranthropoides loysi, de Loys’ alleged "ape," one of the most sinister hoaxes of all times (see #10 below). My choices for the top ten major reasons that exist for hoaxing in cryptozoology are: 1) fiscal gain (e.g. allegedly the reason behind a hoaxster’s "Coast to Coast AM" radio appearances was so the guest’s broadcast claims of a "captured Bigfoot" video he said was going to post online would encourage "subscribers" to pay a fee to "see" it; the fact he did not deliver did not mean he ever gave the money back, allegedly); 2) [...]
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. Standing’s been interested in Bigfoot for years, but remained a hardline skeptic until about a year ago, when he said he caught his first glimpse of the [...]

Loren Coleman’s Top Cryptids
Halloween 2006 seems as good a time as any to publish a response to several requests I have received lately for my top ten picks in cryptids, those animals that serve as the focus of cryptozoologists. Of course, thinking outside the lines, as I always do, I had to choose thirteen. Also, I had to create two parallel lists. One is for those supported by what I see as the most credible evidence, in my opinion only. For the other group, I see this one as viewed through the public’s eye, those most popular cryptids, monsters, crypto-creatures, or whatever the [...]

Boston Rob Balks On Bigfoot
I’m on the road again, but don’t forget, as Craig mentions, to watch “Sci Fi Investigates: Bigfoot” tonight, October 18. The New York Daily News has an overview here. There’s one fragment they have as a sentence in their review that says it all: Smirking, most of the time, when he’s not laughing out loud at the absurd earnestness of his less skeptical expedition mates. I may agree with “Boston Rob” on his choice of a baseball team, but I don’t have to like the under-theme of ridicule in his show, as expressed most often non-verbally by Mr. Marino.
