Bigfoot Bounty A year after the one million dollar short-lived bounty for a Sasquatch photo, here’s a look back. Hasbro produced this set in 1973, demonstrating a lengthy awareness by the company into Yeti hunts. During mid-October 2005, a proposed $1 million reward for a photograph of evidence leading to the live capture of Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman (Yeti) or the Loch Ness Monster was discussed by the media, and caused quite a stir. Initially, the Bigfoot Bounty was to be used to announce Creature Appreciation Week later in the month, by the producers of the Duel Masters Trading Card [...]

Arcturus Cryptozoology Books
Looking for a rare Keel title? A paperback from the 1970s demonstrating that era’s view of Bigfoot? An oldie but a goodie? Trying to pick up a scarce cryptozoology book? Bob Girard has been selling used books for years, and now does it from Port St. Lucie, Florida. If you want to keep the good books in this world, you have to support those booksellers that aren’t afraid to sell them. Therefore, we have to support, for example, Arcturus Books. Here’s a sample below of items you can email him about, and see if he still has it in stock. [...]
Almas Skull Sample?
Mark A. Hall alerts Cryptomundo to a new dispatch out of Russia, “Moscow Hominologist gives bone sample to the USA for investigation”. It appears to be from the skull of an alleged Almas’ relative, Khwit. Click the Richard Klyver’s Almas drawings, above, for a larger view. According to the Russian newspaper Komsomolskaja Pravda, Igor Burtsev was invited to the USA(1). There, he will deliver a bone sample of a skull to a “laboratory for the Genetics of the Neanderthals of the New York University” for analysis. Burtsev found this skull in the 70s during an excavation while he was looking [...]
Sci Fi Investigates Begins
“Sci Fi Investigates” goes on the air for the first time on October 11, 2006. Boston Rob “plays the skeptic.” Rob Mariano told Boston Herald reporter Amy Amatangelo, during an interview, the following: To tell you the truth, at first I wasn’t sure that I wanted to be involved because it’s not something I was really interested in. But after I talked to [the producers], they told me I could be myself and play the skeptic and basically give my point of view as I saw it. Then it became a lot more appealing to me. And I have to [...]
Mary Green Goes Ballistic
On Tuesday, October 10, 2006, Cryptomundo began to receive emails from Mary Green demanding that a photograph that was reprinted here from a Will Duncan posting – which supported Duncan’s pro-Carter farm position – be removed from our site. It has now been removed. Allow me to share the background and emails regarding this exchange. As can be seen in these emails, Mary Green has given her permission for these emails to be posted fully so you all can see what an evil person I am. Intriguingly, her call for the photograph to be taken down has ended up censoring [...]
Red Lake and Bigfoot
I’m going to be on the road for a few days, mostly working with First Nations people in northern Maine about suicide prevention and school shootings, so I wanted to post a timely entry here that looks at the overlap between Bigfoot and a school shooter, the Red Lake, Minnesota killer who caused the second most deadly modern school outrage on our children. On March 21, 2005, Red Lake, Minnesota high school student Jeffrey James Weise (August 8, 1988 – March 21, 2005) killed a total of ten people. First he killed his grandfather and grandfather’s wife, 32-year old Michelle [...]
Exclusive: Johor Bigfoot Cast Copy
Joshua Gates – shown above on his investigative trek in Malaysia with Seekers Sis and Illa – reveals to Cryptomundo the startling news that an excellent first generation copy of the Johor Bigfoot cast sits safely in California. Illa shows off the cast last February, as photographed from a different angle, above, as opposed to the often seen image, below. Joshua Gates, above, was involved with obtaining the original Johor cast, in the jungle. But, as it turns out, a copy was made; see the photo directly above, which was previsiously published as showing the original. Gates is shown below [...]
American Offers $50,000 For Johor Cast
Cryptomundo correspondent and Malaysia Star reporter Marsha Tan has been kind enough to send along her latest Johor Bigfoot article to be shared here. If anyone knows the identities of the (1) American “Bigfoot researcher” or (2) the “museum owner” who are behind the offers to either trade casts (yeah, right the Seekers are going to take up that one) or the $50,000 payment for the cast, we’d like to hear from you. My previous blog entry on this subject is here, and the eBay Malaysia description is here. Illa shows off the cast last February. Sunday October 8, 2006 [...]
Bigfoot in TV Guide
Scores of people in the media find their way to me, oftentimes to ask where they can obtain this or that image. In the case of the recent series of Bigfoot movies on the Sci-Fi Channel, TV Guide approached me asking if I could help them with the rights to a frame from the Patterson-Gimlin film. Needless to say, I sent them to Mrs. Patterson and René Dahinden’s heirs to purchase and obtain permission. For people that missed it, here’s what TV Guide produced: Please click on the image for a full size version. Interestingly, the editorial board room discussions [...]
