The Bigfoot body claims of Matthew Whitton have jumped into the mainstream media, for the first time, through the publication of a newspaper article in the Clayton News Daily. However, the story first broke here on July 11th, with followups on July 17th and July 23rd. Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Cop claims to have body of ‘Bigfoot’ By Daniel Silliman dsilliman@news-daily.com A Clayton County Police officer, and his friend, claim to have the body of a Bigfoot. The animal — a legendary, hairy hominid that supposedly lives in remote forests — is said to be dead, frozen, and “shocking.” Matthew [...]
Bigfoot Body Brouhaha
In the midst of claims, now an admitted hoax, new videos, withdrawn video, and more, what are we to make of the BigfootTrackers’ latest promise their Bigfoot body will be revealed September 1st? [Ooops, one of their group has said October 1st, but another person and their website still says September 1st.] Is this just one rather large “gottacha” game? Thanks to notes shared with me kept by Craig Woolheater while I was in Alberta, there have been some major developments regarding the claims of BigfootTrackers having a body. The group of two posted a video on Saturday, July 19, [...]
Classic Bigfoot Cases
In these days of blobsquath and bad Bigfoot footage, it is often forgotten that some cases which are taken as landmark sightings use to just be “sightings in the Sasquatch file.” Take a break from the claims of a Bigfoot body and the repeating eBay auctions for a “Bigfoot hunter,” to stop for a moment to view part of this old documentary, Bigfoot: Man or Beast (1972). The film captures interviews with eyewitnesses familiar from your readings of Bigfoot material, e.g. Fred Beck and Albert Ostman. Also, you can see here early investigators Ron Olson and John Green. I think [...]
Flashback: Grover Krantz
Now and then, it is good to pause and remember those who have passed into cryptozoology history. Anthropologist and Sasquatch hunter, the “Dr.” has left the house. Grover Krantz is recalled for many things, perhaps mostly by Cryptomundo readers for his research captured in the pages of Bigfoot Sasquatch: Evidence. To me, of all the men in the field I’ve met, he may have been one of the most gentle, most down-to-earth guys searching for Bigfoot, despite an overblown public counter-reputation for being sharp, fierce, and full of ego. To know Grover, as a person, was to truly like him. [...]

On the Track With William Dranginis
Thirteen years ago, William Dranginis saw Bigfoot. Fifty grand, a van, and a camera in a log later, the quest continues. William Dranginis knows what you’re thinking, so maybe it’s best to get a few things straight right from the start. He’s not crazy, delusional, some lunatic on the fringe. For the most part, he’s your average suburban family man. Lives on a quiet street in Manassas. Has a great wife and two daughters; just became a grandfather. Has a good job designing surveillance equipment for the Windermere Group, an Annapolis-based technology firm that does contract work for the government. [...]
eBay’s $150K Bigfoot Hunter Id’ed
The eBay Bigfoot hunter has been identified. The $150,000 man first discussed at Boing Boing yesterday can be more fully revealed here today. TPeterson6969 is Tim Peterson, the owner of Hawk Creek Taxidermy in Maynard, Minnesota. The business address of Hawk Creek Taxidermy & Archery is technically 12640 890 St. Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55401 , a mere 25.4 miles from Young America. This is public information, so I’m not sharing data that is private. Two of his 320 area code telephone numbers are public info too, but I won’t be posting those. When asked for a comment for an interview, [...]
Bigfoot? Lost Hiker’s “Monkey” Sighting
I saw this one coming. A chimpanzee escapes near the San Bernardino Mountains, California, and then the media finds itself being more open to publishing sightings of hairy primates in the area. It is happening. Of course, the media and the caregivers to Moe, the chimp escapee, are divided about whether they want these mystery sightings to be “their” ape or not. So we see confused news items, such as the following one. Here we go again. You’ve been here before. A chimp among the nudist but not “their” chimp. Ape footprints but not “their” chimp’s footprints. This leaves us [...]
Hire Me To Find Bigfoot For $150,000!
Yes, you can sign up and bid on an eBay auction for a Bigfoot hunter’s services! David Pescovitz over at Boing Boing has alerted me to a unique type of auction going on over at eBay. There’s a hunter who is selling his/her services to hunt “Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti,” and the person “will search for and find” Sasquatch for a price. So writes eBay user TPeterson6969 (those numbers aren’t sexual references, are they?). As David says, “Starting bid for his or her services is $150,000.” This Bigfooter says, “I have been a big game hunter nearly all of my life [...]
