Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 25th, 2006

Malaysian media reports today that two teams of researchers will search the wilderness areas for their local “Bigfoot,” which, as I have mentioned before here (1, 2, 3), should more properly be called “Orang Dalam.” These cryptid hairy hominoids have been seen in the Malaysian rainforests of Tanjung Piai, Mersing, Kahang, Endau-Rompin National Park and […]

Movies, Music, and Teaching About Hidden Animals

Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 20th, 2006

I guess I could discuss the ill whale swimming up the Thames today, and how the crowds are flocking to see it. It does remind me of what might have happened along the New England coast in 1817-1819, during the era of all those Sea Serpent sightings. Or I could talk about the fact that […]

Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 11th, 2006

Queensland, Australia’s Courier-Mail on January 12, is carrying a selection from a new book on the life of Sir Edmund Hillary that is not yet available in the USA or the UK.

How Old Are India’s Giant Footprints?

Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 10th, 2006

Early Indian news reports seem to be linking the finding of "giant" footprints in India with the "Malaysian Bigfoot" media madness, and the the temporary closing of China’s Shennongjia Nature Reserve (or "Bigfoot Park" in some stories), the alleged habitat of the Chinese Wildmen or Yeren.

Media Madness: Malaysian Bigfoot Flap

Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 4th, 2006
