On Wednesday evening, November 14, 2007, a five-person party flies from London’s Heathrow Airport in search of more complete information on at least three South American cryptids (e.g. Giant Anaconda, Didi/Mapinguary, Water Tiger). The five individuals from the UK-based Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] are on the track of cryptid data and en route to […]

The Przewalski’s horse, a Pleistocene megafauna survivor, can be called a “living fossil,” in the popularized employment of that phrase. Certainly, this horse is of interest to cryptozoologists. In the society we live in, this is an animal your daughter may know more about than you do. The species (Equus ferus przewalskii, Equus caballus przewalskii, […]

There is a rumor going around ~ I literally have now read it from individuals in three countries ~ that the “Sasquatch Attack” documentary “occurred five years ago.” I’m not sure where some people get their information, but I think the dating of the nail board incident is being confused with the making of the […]

Dear Loren, I can assure you and your readers that fear did play a part of our decision to not be all running around in the woods at night. As you know also, just walking in this kind of terrain at night is dangerous. Being hit in the head with a heavy rock in the […]

Well, how could a television program “prove” the existence of a cryptid, anyway? Unlike some, I am not surprised that the History Channel and the producers of Monster Quest’s “Sasquatch Attack” did not leak the fact that Sasquatch DNA may have been collected. I do not feel upset with Jeff Meldrum because he didn’t rush […]

Today I launch a new on-going, irregular feature at Cryptomundo about the replica cryptic species found in models and figurines that represent known extinct and living animals, as well as specific cryptids, which are held by the International Cryptozoology Museum (ICM). I am calling the umbrella discussion “Replica Cryptia,” as all of these scale-model items […]

More big breaking news from the oceans… The expedition results of Jerome Hamlin, Dinofish, have been filed, and the results appear certain that a new population of coelacanth has been discovered. He was able to gather very credible testimonies on the presence of coelacanths in the archipelago of the Solomon Island, in the Western Pacific. […]

In Australia, as it turns out, there are many borderline good videos that may show evidence of the survival of the thylacine. Are some of these not merely dingo? Do I see some striping on the rear quarters of these animals? Are any of these the “Patterson-Gimlin film” of a thylacine? You be the judge. […]

Can we find any of these? Are some of the “extinct animals” merely today’s cryptids? Is this footage of a Thylacine? Compare it with all the known footage of living thylacines.

Does a Komodo Dragon-type monitor roam the fringes of the Outback of Australia? Is there a surviving population of a huge species of the family Varanidae in Oz? Rex Gilroy thinks so, and he rolls the name off his tongue with ease, Megalania, the man eating giant lizard:

In this clip from “Animal X,” you can see a sampling of various “Alien Big Cats” videotapes, which exist of the usually black unknown felines seen in the “mysterious British countryside, a region rich in history and deep routed legends.” The following is allegedly footage of the mysterious “Beast of Banff,” showing an Alien Big […]

Can Cryptomundians help me? I’m attempting to locate online video clips of any appearances of the International Cryptozoology Museum (ICM) on documentary programs. I’ve only found one. The following YouTube footage was taken at the ICM in 2005, by Lone Wolf Productions. The clip is from the History Channel’s “Deep Sea Detectives” segment on the […]
