for Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents and More

Yutaka Kawaji and Hideo Kawaji may share the same surname, but they also share the same phenomenal experience. You see, they are both witnesses to the Japanese lake cryptid know as Issie, said to inhabit the depths of Lake Ikeda in Japan. What is remarkable is that they both saw the creature when they were […]

A new product based on the mythical droppings of Okanagan Lake’s mystery beast is a hot new item on the retail circuit. The Kelowna Daily Courier newspaper carried this report on the sweet tasting droppings: Ogopogo Poop has made its way into several Kelowna stores and will soon be on televisions across the province. The […]

The Kelowna Daily Courier newspaper has carried its share of Ogopogo reports over the years so I like to read the online and paper editions when I can. Not too long ago they carried a story that is intertwined with a little bit of Ogopogo history. Here’s the story of a tugboat that served those […]

It’s summer again here in the sunny province of British Columbia and all is quiet on the cryptid front so far. There have been rumours of a couple of Ogopogo sightings this year, but we have not been able to track down any witnesses who might want to allow us to interview them. Ogopogo is […]

In the Gary Larson classic comic The Far Side, there were many cryptozoological elements. The very first Far Side that I ever saw had a classic gillman/swamp monster as a central character. My friend Laura and I read it together and laughed for days. The funniest word in this comic is the word “again”. That […]

An international paper with a paper edition has published a pretty informative article about Chinese Water Dragons and their correlation to the various aquatic cryptids of Canada and I must say I really enjoyed this one. There’s plenty to read about Ogopogo and the other lake monsters of Canada in the online edition of Epoch […]

Canadian Geographic is one of the most prestigious societies in Canada and is our country’s equivalent to National Geographic in the USA. It is very pleasing for Canadian cryptozoology investigators and researchers to see that an article on cryptozoology in Canada is included in the July/August edition of this eminent publication. However, I wish the […]

Well, not quite. The Vermont Lake Monsters lost their season opener to the Lowell Spinners. Ironically, as Loren mentioned here on Cryptomundo, the minor league hockey team in Lowell, MA is named the Lowell Loch Monsters.  So the Lake Monsters did lose in the hometown of the Lock Monsters.  And for an even stranger cryptozoological […]

The forthcoming Storsjoyran Great Lake Festival on July 27-29, 2006, will have the local “president” Ewert Ljusberg of Jämtland making his annual speech to the region, again marked by a new imaginative and spectacular entrance.

The International Cryptozoology Museum (ICM) is sharing its contents through the end of 2006. Over 100 of some of the most significant large and small items from the ICM’s collection are included in my specific room at the new Bates College exhibition, “Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale.” Then, in October, the objects from that […]

There is this notion among cryptozoology enthusiasts around the world that lacustrean (lake) cryptids around the world are all the same in terms of their appearance and morphology. I could not disagree more with this notion. I have spent the better part of the last 19 years investigating this particular area of cryptozoology and going […]

Well, there is another photo posted on the Raystown Ray website. This one is no better than the one that was posted here on Cryptomundo last Saturday. In fact, it’s probably worse. Pennsylvania’s Loch Ness Monster? Maybe Photoshop Phil… Here is the first photo for comparison.

My friend and Cryptomundo colleague, Loren Coleman, stated on these pages that there is the prospect that Malaysian biologist Vincent Chow has been able to procure several photographs of the alleged Malyasian Bigfoot, the Orang Dalam or as it is known in this case, Mawas. I want to be excited about this, but given the […]
