Giants in the Americas: Yesterday and Today
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 1st, 2011
Reports of large, hairy hominids–true giants, in some cases, exceeding the height of most Sasquatch or Bigfoot reports–are common in the desolate areas of the north. Cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson noted that these cases stretched from Alaska to Labrador and even Greenland, and citing the work of other scholars, suggested that many of these Pre-Amerindians may have occupied the wastelands prior to the arrival of the forebears of the Inuit, whose tradition speak extensively about them.

Daniel Boone’s Yahoo = Bigfoot?
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on June 17th, 2011
Long before it became the brand of a search engine, the creature whose uttered cry gave it a name haunted Kentuckians. Daniel Boone told tales of “killing a ten-foot, hairy giant he called a Yahoo,” says John Mack Faragher in a 1992 biography of Boone. The Yahoos are hairy man-like creatures in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, one of Boone’s favorite books. Boone and his explorer companions, it should be noted right from the get-go, threw around many of the terms used in that book rather liberally.

Monstrum!
Posted by: Nick Redfern on May 9th, 2011
Originally published more than twenty-years ago, Monstrum! A Wizard’s Tale is a book that, if you didn’t read it first time around, you most definitely should now. Why? We’ll, here’s why: the good folk at CFZ Press (Jon & Corinna Downes and Co.) have just made available a brand new edition of this mighty, monster-driven classic.
Penned by the legendary Tony “Doc” Shiels – truly a phenomenon as much as a man – it’s one of those books that should not just be carefully devoured by cryptozoologists everywhere, but also by ufologists, ghost-hunters, and just about anyone and everyone with more than a passing interest in what has come to be known as Forteana.
