One of the things I find most perplexing about sasquatch stories from British Columbia and particularly about the ones that emanate from the Harrison Hot Springs area is that sasquatch apparently have the faculty of speech. Now, I don’t mean they can simply howl growl or grunt, I mean they can talk in known languages. […]

After the Penn and Teller Showtime fiasco, the last thing we need is another cryptozoology mockumentary. I hope that Provost Pictures – who are set to start principal photography at Okanagan Lake the setting of a film called The Beast of Bottomless Lake – are able to avoid the abusive pitfalls entered into by the […]

It’s amazing to me sometimes how the media will seize on a story that really is no big deal. It is patently obvious that a lot of media types don’t do enough research before they write a story. Here’s an example. There are so many sasquatch research groups out there that I have lost track […]

Some readers may no doubt know of Ivan Sanderson’s delightful book Abominable Snowmen – Legend Come to Life. In this very readable tome, written in Sanderson’s classic Scottish old-school intellectual style, the wily naturalist makes reference to the unknown bipedal hominids of Africa, some of whom were small in stature.

I am often asked why I spend as much time as I do in pursuit of Ogopogo, the denizen of Okanagan Lake. The reason is straightforward: Because it is there. I know this animal to be a real entity as I have seen it on more than one occasion. What is it? Blowed if I […]

My own sasquatch encounter in Skamania County took place in the late 1990’s. I had come down to visit my father for Christmas and brought my son with me. On Christmas Eve morning we made a mad dash for the store in a town several miles away as a winter storm was heading our way […]

Skamania county is best known for being the only place in North America that has an ordinance protecting sasquatch.

Just a handful of years ago I was perusing an article in a Mongolian overseas online magazine. I was absolutely flabbergasted and very much relieved to read that there had been a sighting of the long lost bipedal hairy hominid of that country known as the Almas. For many years news of Almas sightings was […]
