In the wake of this summer’s biggest crypto-blockbuster, doesn’t it make sense that someone might try to turn it into a gold mine of publicity for their project? John Green and I were once talking about the Sasquatch mystery, and he said, there will always be people to rush in and say that they hoaxed […]

You all remember the so-called “Crookston Bigfoot” that is now part of my museum. In 1990, Wisconsin taxidermist and artist Curtis Christensen created the “world’s most unique Bigfoot in existence,” above, and kept it to himself in his barn for a few years. In June 1995, Crookston, Minnesota, based on a series of local sightings, […]

Yep, perhaps it was the Montauk Monster, but something caused Cryptomundo to go down early in the pre-dawn A.M. on Saturday, August 2, 2008. It just was returned online. Cryptomundo is back and we don’t know why we were gone. What did you do with this time? I hope you all used it productively…perhaps shopping […]

New photographs, above, have been published of the “Montauk Monster,” which allegedly washed up on a beach in Montauk. These photos are by Christina Pampalone. The Montauk Monster has created an Internet sensation. It is today’s #1 Yahoo search. It’s been on Cryptomundo, Boing Boing, and The Anomalist for days. It reminds me of the […]

I enjoy leading workshops with children, of course, because future cryptozoologists are out there. Recently, in Alberta, some kids got to attend a “dragons day camp.” While there, I spoke to them about cryptozoology on a Monday. Here I am, looking as if a wood bison is about ready to charge me. What’s so incredible […]

“Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.” ~ Heinrich Heine, from his play Almansor. Warning: profanity, insults, homophobia, and book & effigy burnings are standard fare now in the ongoing media theater from the gentlemen from Georgia. In 1933, Nazis burned works of Jewish authors, and other works considered “un-German,” […]

You remember the scene from the end of the first Indiana Jones movie? Recall the endless rows of boxes in storage in that secret warehouse? Of course, the reality is that most large museums around the world actually do have such storage areas. The “outfront” exhibits at most museums are impressive. But, for example, I […]

The story of how the claimed Bigfoot body in Georgia was found is slowly being revealed. But first a moment to take a deep breath. The Bigfoot Trackers of Georgia have gained a lot of self-congratulatory mileage from going after Cryptomundo and others as their “enemies.” Of course, this is silly, and yet does make […]

The Yeti hair sample shows split ends. The first update to the testing of the Yeti hair sample is in, and the results are “inconclusive,” not too surprisingly. Initial results showed it had human and ape-like characteristics. Ian Redmond, a biologist and expert in ape conservation, said the hairs found in the Indian jungle resembled […]

Okay, so the power was turned off in the bfters’ freezer in Georgia, they are telling us. Okay, they are being harassed. All the July fees for the bftrackers “expeditions” are being refunded. What does this all sound like to you? Is an exit scenario being developed? As I mentioned here yesterday, late last night […]

I have a request from a credible art book compiler who is going to press soon. He needs an eyewitness to a non-hairy-hominoid cryptid, who can draw their cryptozoological creature, and is willing to contribute a drawing of what they saw to his book. If you have seen a cryptid, can sketch it rather well, […]

The extinct Atlas bear (Ursus crowtheri), above, continues to live on in dispute, even here on the pages of Cryptomundo. Today, round two in the battle between a German commentator and a French respondent. Michel Raynal is one of the foremost cryptozoologists in Europe, the webmaster of Virtual Institute of Cryptozoology, the first French site […]

It was presented to him by Nick Philip of the Imaginary Foundation. Congratulations to David! BTW, David mentions that his two-and-half year old son Lux was “slightly scared of the creature at first, […]
