Bigfoot, Bigfoot, Bigfoot. I’m so tired of blobsquatch videos, aren’t you? Sasquatch, Sasquatch, Sasquatch. Nessie, Nessie, Nessie. Loch Ness Monster, Loch Ness Monster. Ah, finally good footage, right?
I’m forced to write a blogsquatch, the sad condition of blogging that appears to be something it really isn’t – seemingly cryptozoological but it only vaguely appears that way from a distance. Instead, closer up, it is more blogging on exposing a fake, I’m afraid.
Unfortunately, the above video has been making the rounds of emails because it has been posted on the Bigfoot of video upload sites, YouTube. Is it a Bigfoot or Nessie here?
You don’t need a field guide on Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster to tell you which way the wind blows.
Of course, we aren’t talking about Bigfoot here, but the Loch Ness Monster spoof documentary by Werner Herzog.
Why this is making it big on the internet again is an amazing mystery. People have known about the source movie for three years, and it’s been out on DVD for two. Perhaps it is because the motion picture has been broadcast anew during the last couple months on cable channels throughout the USA?
The uncredited (by the poster at YouTube) source is:
Incident at Loch Ness (2004)
Warning: The comments posted at YouTube are unintelligent and unaware, for the most part.
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.
