What Lurks in the Depths of Pitt Lake? We have a myriad of cryptids in British Columbia, but there is one that just does not get the coverage it deserves. I’m talking about the giant black salamanders of B.C. Some would say what’s the big deal with giant salamanders? They are found far and wide […]

My own sasquatch encounter in Skamania County took place in the late 1990’s. I had come down to visit my father for Christmas and brought my son with me. On Christmas Eve morning we made a mad dash for the store in a town several miles away as a winter storm was heading our way […]

Whenever a report of an unknown bipedal hairy hominid surfaces, the cynics will invariably trot out that old saw: “It must have been a bear.” There are a lot of people around the province of Salta, Argentina who are annoyed that they are not being taken seriously when they say they are having real problems […]

George Josef was one the best stunt men in the business. He was based out of West Vancouver in British Columbia and you have seen him in plenty of movies and TV series where he has doubled for a ton of celebrities. George passed away from liver cancer in January last year and a few months […]

There has been a fair bit of news on Cryptomundo about the amazing discovery of a myriad new animals in the wilds of New Guinea. This is fascinating stuff and it just blows me away that there could be so many new species found. One of these days I am going to get my expedition […]
