Cryptomundo
for Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents and More

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 […]

Tahoe Elf? Nevada Faery? Lake Tahoe Leprechaun? Deneau’s Hobgoblin? There is a world of good names out there, and this one cannot go down as a “leprechaun-alien” for long, please. Lloyd Deneau, 41, of Florida was on vacation at Lake Tahoe, located along the border between California and Nevada, west of Carson City, Nevada. He […]

A Batman beheading? Have people so quickly forgotten a recent tragedy? Heightened awareness of decapitations has occurred in the last few days due to the incidents in Brazil, Dubai, Greece, and, of course, the bus event in Canada (during the showing of The Legend of Zorro). Also, please note earlier The Mask of Zorro features […]

You won’t see too much from me here any longer on the alleged Bigfoot body from the Georgia gentlemen, until an actual body is produced. Following their burning of my Bigfoot! book (after it previously was apparently being used as a reference work), it became obvious it was counter-productive to report on them. But for […]

Click image for larger version. There can be little doubt that the Montauk Monster is a media phenomenon this summer, and is even outstripping Obama, Morgan Freeman and Heath Ledger in gaining widespread short term attention. It überschwemmte (swamped, deluged) Cryptomundo and about every other site too. While people like Gawker threw around casually the […]

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 […]

Round One: In the otter competitive battle between the forces of good and evil, the following is the clip from CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now,” for June 1, 2007, on Nessie, which was run in the final moments of her program. It was originally scheduled to be five minutes long. At the time, my author friend […]

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 […]

Dr. Andrea Marshall is shown on a beautiful new video, swimming with the recently discovered manta and discussing her discovery. The scenes remind me of the swimming ballet of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Dr. […]

Today’s San Francisco Chronicle reported that Erik Beckjord died June 22, 2008. You have no doubt read the news here, and seen various individuals’ reactions to his obituary. However, according to a post on Wednesday, July 23, 2008, from Jeffrey A. Teagle, “representing Mr. Jon Erik Beckjord,” he says Beckjord is still alive. Both Craig […]
