Chasing Discovery has its world premiere at St. Michael’s College today. I thought Cryptomundians would be interested in this new film: There’s something out there… And the men and women of cryptozoology are determined to find it. The researchers in this relatively obscure science face ridicule, financial struggles and harsh skepticism in their quest to uncover the secrets of mystery animals such as Bigfoot, Nessie and Chupacabras. This is their story… Chasing Discovery seeks to understand the researchers who delve into the zoological unknown. The cryptozoologists featured have devoted decades to researching undiscovered animals, and are among the foremost researchers [...]
Squatchip
I guess for pure fundraising efforts, I have overlooked that bag of potato chips in my kitchen. Now comes word that a Hampton, Virginia, resident is selling a chip with a hollowed out “image” of Bigfoot in its middle over at eBay. Here’s the description: I have here for auction one ruffled potato chip that looks like Bigfoot. Just for fun, let’s call him Chipfoot. The chip is in very good/stable condition and should ship quite nicely. Compare my photo by using your favorite Internet search engine for a famous picture of Bigfoot. There’s a striking resemblance. I reserve the [...]

New Assiniboine Native Bigfoot Reports
The Assiniboine live in Montana. There’s breaking news from near Fort Belknap of new Bigfoot rumblings: There was a mystery afoot — err … a Bigfoot — and if anyone was going to solve it, it would be Ruben Horseman. The volunteer fire chief and self-described snoop, Horseman’s phone regularly rings when his Hays neighbors are trying to sort out a story. “There was a lot of little rumors at first,” he said. “That’s why I figured we’d go out there and walk it and see what we come up with.” Several people had spotted strange, very large prints in [...]
No “Bigfeet” Discovered
It is good to know that the legacy of Cryptomundo is assisting the literary world of Oregon’s Portland Mercury. Courtney Ferguson writes today about his search for whether “Bigfeet” is the correct word to use: After spending 10 minutes searching for the proper plural form of Sasquatch, I grew impatient. Was it Sasquatches? Could I use Bigfeet? Or was it a murder of Sasquatch? Finding little in the way of information on the New York Times site (two instances of Sasquatches) and absolutely nothing in the Chicago Manual of Style, I encountered this cryptid site! cryptomundo.com Eureka! Within cryptozoology, North [...]
Bigfoot Guitar
(AP Photo/Miami Beach Guitar Festival, Andy Newman) Just what every music-loving Sasquatch researcher needs: the Bigfoot Guitar. Obviously, I should have one for the museum. In this photo released by the Miami Beach Guitar Festival, guitar maker George Marlin strums on his Bigfoot creation at the Miami Beach Guitar Festival Sunday, April 13, 2008, in Miami Beach. The three-day festival that ended Sunday, attracted guitar makers, musicians and guitar collectors from around the United States. According to the National Association of Music Merchandisers, there are 30 million active guitar players in the America, accounting for more than $1.5 billion in [...]
Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute: Update
On Saturday, April 12, after nicely being put up for the night before by Helen Jacobson, president of the 826 Boston board, I was a guest of honor during the formal launching of the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute (GBBRI), the unique literacy center, which just opened in Massachusetts. Above: The incredibly, simple but complex, to-the-point but creative, and intriguing but academically-appropriate GBBRI logo was designed by Amanda McCorkle of ColorQuarry.com. (BTW, it was a good decision for me to attend, despite my recent loss, as it connected me to the roots of good parenting, tutorship, and the future of [...]
Expedition Faux: The Battle for Media Attention
Two competing “Bigfoot” expeditions that appear to have more to do with media attention, got in the news over the weekend. 1) Over the weekend, the members of Matt Moneymaker’s Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization’s 2008 West Virginia Expedition did report hearing sounds and finding tracks believed to have been made by the elusive, apelike creature. We heard wood knocks along the Greenbrier River last night. ~ Steve Willis, a Cowen native and retired Army officer now living in Virginia, who led the expedition. 2) Meanwhile, in an account published over the weekend, according to a news reporter’s words, “In March, [...]
Anna and Yeti
I went to Ohio on Wednesday, April 9th, 2008, to give a special talk to a private, thoughtful, intellectual group of 150 people at the research organization called Emerson Climate Technologies. They wanted someone to stimulate their thoughts, to give examples of a different creative process, and, yes, to entertain them, scientifically and humanely. I did that by giving an illustrated lecture, full of humor and humanness, entitled “Cryptozoology: Passion and Patience.” I covered a lot of ground, from the beginnings of the study of hidden animals, through mentions of Ivan T. Sanderson, Bernard Heuvelmans, Ruth Harkness, Scott Norman, and [...]
