Aussie cryptozoologist Mike Williams weighs in with a guest blog for Cryptomundo. Mike’s article in the April issue of Fortean Times, co-authored with Ruby Lang, was profiled here on Cryptomundo in March.

An update from the SquatchDetective organization:  I’ve included a good quality black and white screen capture that shows the creature before it spins and runs away. I feel I should alert you to some possible "skeletons in the closet" I’ve uncovered during my investigations into Marco Nero that would flame the skeptic’s criticisms of this […]

An Australian man with two friends renting a cabin for the weekend (June 24-25, 2006) in the mountains near Katoomba, Australia were toying with a new Elite Laser after dark when one of them caught sight of an animal standing by a nearby ironwood tree watching them. They caught it on film at an estimated […]

Sometimes I wonder just how true some of the stories that are introduced into the realm of cryptozoology really are.  Just how much of this stuff is fact and just how much is urban legend, pure myth or deliberate fabrication. Tonight I was sitting around reading Mary Moon’s fine book Ogopogo. Mary was the first […]

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. It is merely one of those wonderful coincidences that I just posted something this morning about Marc […]

With all of the talk here on Cryptomundo about Bigfoot movies, the good, bad and the ugly, I thought that I would give the readers of Cryptomundo the opportunity to weigh in with their picks. I still pick The Legend of Boggy Creek as my favorite. Not for the great cinematic effort that it wasn’t, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Is it true that all hominids are hominoids but not all hominoids are hominids? Where do the pongids and anthropoids fall, as hominoids but not hominids? And what the heck is a homin? Who is on first, anyway? What are the various definitions of humanoid, hominoid, hominid, hominology, homin, anthropoid, and pongid? These jumble of […]

One of the things I find most perplexing about sasquatch stories from British Columbia and particularly about the ones that emanate from the Harrison Hot Springs area is that sasquatch apparently have the faculty of speech. Now, I don’t mean they can simply howl growl or grunt, I mean they can talk in known languages. […]

It’s amazing to me sometimes how the media will seize on a story that really is no big deal. It is patently obvious that a lot of media types don’t do enough research before they write a story. Here’s an example. There are so many sasquatch research groups out there that I have lost track […]

The Conroe Courier ran an article detailing Jimmy Chilcutt’s talk this coming Saturday at the University of Texas San Antonio’s Institute of Texan Cultures. "I don’t actively search for Bigfoot and I’m not involved in the research," said Chilcutt, who used to be a skeptic until he started investigating prints collected by Sasquatch researchers. "I […]
