Windigo can be the hairy hominoid, the cannibal giant, and the psychosis. The three are merging and swirling around in the recent story of the decapitation and eating of flesh on the Canadian Greyhound bus. The Windigo (also known as the Wendigo, Windago, Windiga, Witiko, Wihtikow, and numerous other variants) is an unknown hairy hominoid tied to the legends and folklore of First Nations people linked by the Algonquin languages. The Windigo is a bipedal hairy creature, equal to the Eastern Bigfoot, Stone Giant, or Marked Hominid in some classification systems, which is often said to have aggressive behaviors and [...]
Elfin Photo Released
Tahoe Elf? Nevada Faery? Lake Tahoe Leprechaun? Deneau’s Hobgoblin? There is a world of good names out there, and this one cannot go down as a “leprechaun-alien” for long, please. Lloyd Deneau, 41, of Florida was on vacation at Lake Tahoe, located along the border between California and Nevada, west of Carson City, Nevada. He decided to photograph some interesting trees in a forest there. (When? Exactly where? The reports don’t say.) The he thought he’d seen a tiny creature darting from the forest. Deneau took out his camera and proceeded to take a picture of it. What he saw [...]
New Gorilla Population Estimate Criticized
For years cryptozoological researchers have been questioned and criticized for estimating the population of large hairy unknown primates in North America, most often called Bigfoot and Sasquatch. Now comes news that the world is excited by the findings from the Wildlife Conservation Society that the western lowland gorilla subspecies is estimated to be 125,000 animals strong. Xihuanet news is reporting that wildlife researchers on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, announced a major increase in the population of lowland gorillas after a new census tallied more than 125,000 in an 18,000-square-mile (47,000-square-kilometer) deeply forested area of the Republic of Congo. Estimates from [...]
Georgia Body Update
You won’t see too much from me here any longer on the alleged Bigfoot body from the Georgia gentlemen, until an actual body is produced. Following their burning of my Bigfoot! book (after it previously was apparently being used as a reference work), it became obvious it was counter-productive to report on them. But for the sake of keeping you informed, here are various so-called developments in their ongoing melodrama. They have removed from the internet all of their previous videos, and are floating a recent one around that gives these two “facts”: ~ bigfttrkrs are now associated with Tom [...]
Crookston Wolf Man?
You all remember the so-called “Crookston Bigfoot” that is now part of my museum. In 1990, Wisconsin taxidermist and artist Curtis Christensen created the “world’s most unique Bigfoot in existence,” above, and kept it to himself in his barn for a few years. In June 1995, Crookston, Minnesota, based on a series of local sightings, declared itself the “Bigfoot Capital of the World.” Badger State taxidermist Christensen heard about their claim, and contacted the executive director of the Crookston Development Authority. “Would Crookston like to obtain my Bigfoot to go with your new worldwide fame?”, he asked them. The “Crookston [...]
Pennsylvania’s Breaking Bigfoot Sightings
The recent rumors of a white Bigfoot in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, are spotlighted in this video news report. The “White Bigfoot” being seen near Carbondale, Pennsylvania, may be related to this, “Strange Hominid Sighting Reported Near Red Lion, York County, Pennsylvania,” for July 18, detailed on July 30th, here. Carbondale is 171 miles away, mostly north on I-81, from Red Lion in York County, Pennsylvania. It would seem they hardly are related. But stranger links have been made, of course. The account begins… “I received a telephone call today from a woman who claims to have seen a small Bigfoot-like creature [...]
Durham Gorilla Update
Durham’s ‘gorilla’ Weird, Wicked Weird By Kathryn Skelton, Lewiston Sun-Journal Staff Writer, Lewiston, Maine Saturday, August 2, 2008 Was it really a bear? A hippie? A costumed hooligan? 35 years ago, something funky had this town talking. Young bike-riding friends were the first to see it: something big, hairy, scary. After one mom saw it, too – she described an ape peeking out from behind bushes – 30 police cars circled Durham with orders to shoot. Over several days, more townspeople would describe the animal as a black bear, a large dog, a chimpanzee, an orangutan, a gorilla. “George Huntington [...]
Lost Weekend Rescued
Yep, perhaps it was the Montauk Monster, but something caused Cryptomundo to go down early in the pre-dawn A.M. on Saturday, August 2, 2008. It just was returned online. Cryptomundo is back and we don’t know why we were gone. What did you do with this time? I hope you all used it productively…perhaps shopping for Loch Ness water… Or picking up Bigfoot objects at flea markets. Of course, it was good time to catch up on the comics too. Or to ponder old cryptid photographs. No matter what, the news was still gathered, and I will catch you up [...]
New Montauk Monster Pic and Cryptid Marketing
New photographs, above, have been published of the “Montauk Monster,” which allegedly washed up on a beach in Montauk. These photos are by Christina Pampalone. The Montauk Monster has created an Internet sensation. It is today’s #1 Yahoo search. It’s been on Cryptomundo, Boing Boing, and The Anomalist for days. It reminds me of the “Maine Mutant.” Sometimes these kinds of things have a life of their own, so to speak, especially if there is a compelling image. Now we are seeing everyone under the sun piggyback (pun-intended) on the Montauk Monster. That’s okay. We’ve been here before. It is [...]
