One of the strangest cases the RCMP has been called upon to investigate was the Gillman of Thetis Lake on Vancouver Island. Situated near the community of Cottonwood, Thetis Lake is not really much of a lake, but in reality is more of a glorified pond. On August 19, 1972 two young men, Robin Flewellyn […]

Strange Maine’s Michelle Souliere has written an excellent, in-depth July 20th blog reviewing the Bates Museum of Art’s show. Her long critique “Cryptozoology Exhibit: Mysterious & Kooky” has many photos of the art and shares her good insights.
