Tomorrow night @ 9pm EST, I will be appearing on a new television series called the Unexplained Files (Science Channel… a subsidiary of Discovery). The episode will focus on the mystery of the Texas Blue Dogs… formerly referred to as ‘Chupacabras’. Unfortunately, I may miss the episode, since I am not finding that particular channel on my cable package!

It’s back! The 1960s sideshow attraction known as the “Minnesota Icemen” has resurfaced and taken up residence at the Museum of the Weird in Austin, Texas. The infamous gaff recently turned up on ebay with an asking price of $20,000. It was promptly sold to an undisclosed buyer, which turned out to be my friend Steve Busti, owner of the Museum of the Weird.

Details of the purchase remained under wraps until Tuesday night when the Minnesota Iceman was featured on the A&E network show, Shipping Wars. In order to transport the Iceman from Minnesota to Austin, Steve worked out a deal with the network. As part of the show, Steve and the driver Jennifer, stopped off in Fouke, Arkansas where they met up with myself and fellow cryptid researchers, Ken Gerhard, Chris Buntenbah, and John Attaway. We then took Steve and Jennifer into the woods near Boggy Creek for an evening of “bigfoot hunting.” The next day they continued the trip until finally reaching Austin.

For my first ever Cryptomundo post, I thought it would be fitting to reflect on the Loch Ness mystery for a couple of reasons. First off, it was at age fifteen (back in 1982) that I wandered the shores of the mist-shrouded loch, armed with my little super 8 movie camera in hopes of, capturing footage of a monster. As it turned out, that particular enterprise became an influential event in my life.

Since 2004, bizarre, zombie-like canines have been appearing around the state of Texas. Several of their hairless carcasses have been recovered since that time and there have even been allegations that these creatures drink the blood of small farm animals, (in a fashion very similar to the famous Puerto Rican Chupacabras), though that aspect has not been substantiated.
