Mystery Photos: Sea Serpent or Plesiosaur? Name That Carcass!

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on September 4th, 2006

With all of the plesiosaur talk here on Cryptomundo these days, and with many new readers in the last several months, I wanted to bring back a subject that was explored here on Cryptomundo last February. I was given permission to repost photos that were taken by a gentleman named Michael Cenedella. One day in […]

What Is A Yarwen?

Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 4th, 2006

Has a Yarwen been captured in Maine? Read more about that question here. In this column, I wish to explore what kind of monsters (from creatures to humans) might be behind the use of such a word as "Yarwen." First, let’s consider that this term is not being used loosely, but very specifically to describe […]

Bigfoot Contactees: 50 Years of Coquettishness

Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 1st, 2006

In my California days, when I began looking into the reports of people having intimate encounters with hairy bipedal beasts, I use to file them away as "Bigfoot contactees." Nowadays, these kinds of accounts are becoming more frequent, or at least, more frequently discussed. Can we open-mindedly talk about cases like these, and come away […]

Indiana Varmint Anniversary

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 31st, 2006

As Loren wrote about here on Cryptomundo back in June, this month of August was a month of "Varmint" sightings in Indiana. Today’s issue of the Palladium-Item published an article entitled Final Varmint Update! commemorating the anniversary of the last sighting on August 31, 1948. As Loren also mentioned, there seems to be some confusion […]

Lake Van Monster Resurfaces

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 29th, 2006

The case of the Lake Van Monster is an interesting one indeed. The first reported sightings of a monster in Lake Van in Easter Turkey did not occur until 1995. In 1997, a university teaching assistant shot video of what has become known as the Lake Van Monster. Above is a still from the video […]

More on the Russian Plesiosaur

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 29th, 2006

Have the readers of Cryptomundo correctly identified this mystery carcass? While I initially thought that the "Russian Plesiosaur" looked crocodilian in origin, I agree with the majority of the commenters here on Cryptomundo that the carcass looks like it is that of a whale, most likely a beluga. Below are some photos of beluga skeletons […]

Photos of Russian Plesiosaur

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 28th, 2006

Two weeks ago, I reported here on Cryptomundo that there was a report that Russian hauled up a dead plesiosaur. Scott Corrales had forwarded the story to us here at Cryptomundo. The story was taken with a grain of salt, as there were no corroborating photographs. Today, Cryptomundo reader 71_machone informed me that the photos […]
