Posted by: Loren Coleman on December 16th, 2007

Raymond Goh of the Malaysian API has passed along his translation of the as yet undiscussed (in the West) discovery of good “Bigfoot” tracks in Johor early in 2007.

Shunka Wars

Posted by: Loren Coleman on December 11th, 2007

Lance Foster, myself, and others have looked for the mounted Shunka Warak’in for decades. I’ve written about it in columns, books, and blogs. Finally, after 121 years of it being missing-in-action, the taxidermy mount has surfaced. But guess what? There is a developing tug-of-war over who owns it, which state has the rights to it, […]

Here’s her latest on the new questions about the Johor cast and thoughts on the recent Yeti finds.

Bad Yeti Science from Ben Radford

Posted by: Loren Coleman on December 5th, 2007

Benjamin Radford, who is called LiveScience’s “Bad Science Columnist,” lives up to his title in a new posting about Yeti in which he spreads more bad science. I understand that newspaper writers are often not to blame for their headlines, but in this case I wonder if Radford dreamed up the headline for his own […]

More on Johor vs Yeti Casts

Posted by: Loren Coleman on December 3rd, 2007

Above is the December 1, 2007, image of a “Yeti footcast” from Nepal. While it is unique, it does overtly resemble the Orang Dalam footcast that Josh Gates recovered from Malaysia in 2006. The Group API decided to more closely compare what they saw as an uncritical examination of the Johor footcasts. Below are their […]

MonsterQuest: Mutant Canines

Posted by: Loren Coleman on December 3rd, 2007

In the summer of 2006, during the investigation of the “dead animal on the Turner road,” which was blamed for the killings and injuries to dogs and livestock in central Maine for the last decade, an interesting piece of evidence turned up missing. It was the mystery creature’s skull (above). Having the skull would have […]

These guys are bestsellers. Reports are they will be extinct soon. Post Office Box 360 Portland, ME 04112 USA

Bigfoot in the Sequoias?

Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 24th, 2007

These kinds of events happen probably more than we know. Before the internet and YouTube, this would all have merely been something people would talk about within the family. Now, it’s on the web. The sound quality is extremely low on this video, in spite of the title being called “Bigfoot Yell.” The track may […]

Professor Teuku Jacob (December 6, 1929 – October 17, 2007) of the Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Java, has died. One of the main arguments from Homo floresiensis debunker Teuku Jacob had […]

Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 16th, 2007

A dino in the dungeon? This is more big news from the forgotten basements one finds in museums, the hidden vaults and dingy dungeons that delight those that look in them. What was discovered?: Merely a brand new dinosaur. It will forever be known as Xenoposeidon proneneukos Taylor & Naish, 2007. Congratulations to our buddy […]
