Bigfoot Media Mania Continues

New sightings and stories are popping up about them. Old cases discussed in recent newspaper items are being published about 1970s’ Illinois reports and Missouri flaps. Exhibition news is coming out of Kansas City, and plans for Jefferson, Texas, Bigfoot museum continues onward. A Skunk Ape is allegedly photographed in Florida, maybe a “chimpanzee” one too (above), and now debates are getting new fire under them. The pot is heating up in Malaysia again. Yowies now come into play too.

Then, of course, there’s that Idaho professor friend of ours getting lots of attention.

What’s going on? You can’t turn around without bumping into the stuff. Perhaps people are tired of reading about the election and Iraq? Or maybe this is one of those infrequent Sasquatch seasons?

Boing Boing buddy David Pescovitz has posted over there about Dr. Jeff Meldrum’s tome, in “Scientist’s new book about Sasquatch”. Pescovitz also notes the link to Meldrum’s guest appearance on NPR’s Talk Of The Nation.

CNN broadcast a story on the Wisconsin “non-Bigfoot” Bigfoot story. Now they’ve put it online, at least for a few days, via a link here to the video.

Meanwhile, documentary filmmaker Peter von Puttkamer, the producer/director of Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot, is making news with his new film, The Real Lost World. It will be broadcast on Discovery HD Theater on December 14th, and on Animal Planet, December 10th and 17th, 2006.

Word now comes that on Monday, November 20, the National Geographic Channel will broadcast their new documentary on the Almas (off-production photo above), calling it, perhaps misleadingly, “Russian Bigfoot”. It was back on March 16, 2006, when I first wrote about this documentary here at Cryptomundo.

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
