The Cross Timbers Creature Conference: April 14
Posted by: Nick Redfern on April 2nd, 2012
In case you are interested in attending, both Lyle Blackburn and myself will be speaking at the Cross Timbers Creature Conference at Lake Thunderbird State Park, Oklahoma on Saturday, April 14.
Lyle will, of course, be speaking on the subject of his newly-published book, The Beast of Boggy Creek: The True Story of the Fouke Monster.
And I will be lecturing on the legendary Man-Monkey, a strange “British Bigfoot”-type creature that, in January 1879, burst forth from the woods surrounding Bridge 39 on England’s Shropshire Union Canal.

Dr Redfern: Hello 🙂
Is the Man-Monkey the same as the Shug-Monkey?
Hapa:
No, the shug-Monkey is a creature chiefly reported from the East Coast of England (chiefly the county of Suffolk), whereas the Man-Monkey has been reported in and around the counties of Staffordshire and Shropshire.
I’m only a plain old “Mr” though. Not a “Dr”!!
