I was born the year a Bigfoot was reportedly killing dogs and sheep around Pine Ridge, Missouri; see page 230, of Janet and Colin Bord’s Bigfoot Casebook Updated. I am still in pursuit of the elusive Wetzel Kangaroo Beer empties or label. I don’t drink, but cryptobrewology lives on. Unlike some of [...]
Elusive as Bigfoot: White Squirrels
Remember my blogs at the end of last year, about black (melanistic) and white (albino and near albino) squirrels? Those stories became some of the most popular (non-mystery photo) postings that have appeared here. See 2006′s Top Black and White Squirrel Locations, Yahoo’s Makes Us #1 With Salt & Pepper Squirrels, and Black and White Squirrels Visit any of those sites for more photographs of white and black squirrels. All of a sudden, now that it is summer, white squirrels are in the news again. One city in the South is promoting its new discovery of a white squirrel (above) [...]
Fur Associated With Mystery Cat Found
The news being discussed in papers in Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts yesterday and today is of another recent event involving a possible “mountain lion” in central Maine. On the 4th of July, the Blethen Maine News Service (named after the owners of the Seattle Times who purchased the Portland Press Herald and other related Maine newspapers a few years ago) put out a story about the turning over on July 3rd of possible “big cat” DNA samples from Oakland, Maine. The site of the finds, Oakland, Maine, is 12 miles from Sidney, Maine, where the Mystery Cat photograph (above) was [...]
Is It Real?
This is a casual moment of a couple caged Almas in a behind-the-scenes photograph from “Russian Bigfoot.” Tired of going outside and fighting the biting insects to wait two hours until your town sets off fifteen minutes of fireworks? Well, you can stay at home tonight and enjoy some thought-provoking cryptotelevision. Or maybe even do both? The Anomalist alerts us to this: Programming note: The National Geographic Channel starts its “Is It Real?” series today [July 4, 2007]… Each hour-long episode addresses a different topic. The repeat showing of the following episodes include cryptozoological themes. The list is given with [...]
Flashback: Johor Hominid – July 4th, 2006 + A New Sighting
Do you remember what we all were talking about on this date a year ago, on July 4th, 2006? Teasers about groundbreaking photographs of a “Johor Hominid” were being promoted with comments about having patience. One website researcher commented to me on this day in 2006 that asking to see the Johor Bigfoot photographs is “like asking for Angelina Jolie’s unpublished baby photos,” and that I now have to “be patient like the rest.” Yes, I said: Patience is a virtue. Patience and passion are two important components of cryptozoology research, as I have often mentioned, as per Bernard Heuvelmans. [...]
Bigfooter Buckley Gets More Media
After the Bay Area Bigfoot Group member died, more media did stories about him.
Skeptic Barry Beyerstein, 60, Dies Suddenly
Barry Lane Beyerstein, a skeptic extraordinairé, was born on May 19, 1947, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In recent years, he called Moody Lake, British Columbia, his home. On Monday, June 25, 2007, one day after the 60th birthday of the beginning of the era of flying saucers just across the border in Washington State, Barry L. Beyerstein, 60, was found dead at his college office desk from a heart attack. Beyerstein, a psychology professor at Simon Frasier University, British Columbia, had become a famous media commentator on several topics from drug and alcohol addiction to social beliefs linked to parapsychology, [...]
Bigfoot & Moneymaker on Fox Video
Fox News has a thing about Bigfoot. The sensationalizing news organization’s producers are drawn to the subject and repulsed by it. It is as if after they have made a programming decision to embrace the topic, they find themselves in a nightmare and turn on the concept they have created. Fox News staff are enchanted by Bigfoot, but then send out waves of ridicule onto the subject, as often as possible. If I seem a little bitter at Fox, perhaps I am a bit. Every emotional feeling has a history. Here’s mine. In 2005, if you will recall, I was [...]
Snowmen Seeker? Pamir Expedition Leader Dies
Little is known of what the Soviet Russians did on their Pamir Mountains’ “Snowmen” expeditions of the 1960s, especially if they contained non-Russian members. What were their goals? What did they find? Was Tom Slick or one of his friends secretly involved in funding one such expedition? Malcolm Slesser. The death on Tuesday, June 26, 2007, announced today, of Malcolm Slesser, 82, is bringing to mind such questions anew. Slesser died doing what he loved best, climbing a mountain. According to the Scotsman on Saturday, June 30, 2007, the “veteran mountaineering expert from Edinburgh fell to his death from a [...]
40th Nears: Reexamine Frame 352
As the 40th anniversary of the Patterson-Gimlin footage nears, it is time to re-read a contribution of Darren Naish, Ph. D., formerly of the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Portsmouth, UK. Naish wrote a thoughtful blog on “Frame 352, and all that.” In his lengthy essay, in one portion Naish specifically addresses anthropologist John Napier’s criticism of the Patterson-Gimlin footage: What evidence has been marshaled by those who assert that the film is faked? To date, none. No analysis has been performed which shows that the creature can be explained as a man in a suit. Published [...]
