Monstrous Anomalies
"THE ANOMALIST" has posted some excellent crypto material and links over the last few days; and if you didn't see them, here they are!"The Boston Museum of Science tries to explain some legendary beasts: "Exhibit Explores the Real Science Between Mythical Monsters", and, at Cryptomundo, Loren Coleman announces "Cryptozoologist of 2008: Dr. Andrea Marshall".Making the point that the dragon of lore is not a creature to be pursued by cryptozoologists, Mel Acheson demonstrates the dragon archetype most likely sprang to life worldwide in ancient times from events our forebears observed in the heavens. "Two of the signature subjects of high strangeness, UFOs and Bigfoot, came together before multiple witnesses near Uniontown, PA, on October 25, 1973". The 35th anniversary of the enigmatic appearance of a UFO and Bigfoot-like creatures gets the full treatment of an 8-part video interview with George Lutz, who accompanied lead investigator Stan Gordon seeking answers to the mysterious event."Arkansas Fouke Monster Stuff of Legends" Firefox. If you're not already familiar with the creature famously outlined in the hit movie The Legend of Boggy Creek, you will be after reading this explanation of the origins of the tales of a swamp creature, a la Bigfoot, said to make its home in Millers County in Arkansas. Elsewhere, Loren Coleman will lecture on cryptozoological subjects today at the University of Maine at Augusta, as he reports in "Maine Mutant Revisited". "


Bigfoot Evidence Jay Blog Bizzare Zoology
Jay sent me notice of this blog posting some time ago and I said I thought it was a good posting. I have the link to Jay's blog permanently at the top of this blog also now.Shawn at Bigfoot Evidence posted a blurb and a link to it and so I thought it would be a good idea for me to also give Jay the plug on it. His blog is at http://bizarrezoology.blogspot.com/2012/12/relic-neanderthal-remains 31.htmlHere is the introductory blurb at Bigfoot Evidence:Shawn Evidence Editor's Note: This Is A Guest Post By Jay Of The Bizarre Zoology Blog. For Info On Weird And Amazing Facts/theories Of Zoology, Paleontology, And Cryptozoology Go To Bizarrezoology.blogspot.com Or Follow Him On Twitter. Some Researchers Of Cryptozoology (the Study Of Unknown Animals For Which Only Testimonial Or Circumstantial Evidence, Which Is Considered Insufficient By Some, Is Available) Such As Ivan Sanderson, Myra Shackley, Dmitri Bayanov, Igor Bourtsev, Bernard Heuvelmans, And Others Theorize That Living Neanderthals May Still Survive In Parts Of The World Such As Central Asia. Their Theory Is Supported By Reports Of Hairy Wild Men, Footprints That Have A Striking Resemblance To Fossil Neanderthal Prints, And Other Evidence Such As The Strange Guttural Sounds (said To Have Been Possibly Made By A Primitive Voice Box) Heard By Scientists Investigating "Barmanu" Sightings. However, There Is (or Was) Also Evidence For Possible Relic Neanderthals In The Form Of Remains! BIGFOOT EVIDENCE: RELIC NEANDERTHAL REMAINS? bigfootevidence.blogspot.com


A arrange of explorers investigating a rash of Bigfoot sightings encounter a evil individual and unexpected phenomena featuring in an pleasure trip voguish the area traditional in Kentucky lore as "The Frazier Estate." Indian feature refers to the area as, "The sour and natural ground." Behind schedule documenting a series of unexplainable sightings and austere experiences by area populace, the arrange set out on a multi-night pleasure trip that severely heartbroken a few of the group members. This arrange of paranormal explorers not exclusively encountered a evil individual for instance on pleasure trip in Kentucky, but as well observed abnormal lights and other phenomena in the accurate Kentucky forest. "It was as if it was toying amid us," says arrange manual Philip Spencer. "It might take in accurate scuff and move desire distances get pleasure from a spirit. As in a while as we gained put in on it, it would surface us from the broach, it was very alarming and I must endure, rattled a group of suitable men as we realized that we were in the intend of nowhere amid this very real occurrence." This pleasure trip resulted in The Wildman of Kentucky: the Tease of Panther Pit, a documentary film from Details Do. This two hour film takes the viewer on the tentative team's traverse and scenery outsider proclamation of Bigfoot sightings throughout Anderson Realm, KY.

If you would get pleasure from to maintain Philip on your show to have a conversation his new DVD, attraction contact me at this email give directions or break (530) 367-6055 to graph it.


Zooform Phenomena Vs Cryptozoology
Cryptozoology has often been considered...by cryptozoologist's anyway, a fringe subject of zoology, as it should be as it's an investigation into creatures allegedly extinct that may still roam today, as well as beasts awaiting discovery, and so much more. Of course, much of cryptozoology is considered just a little too arcane for science because not only does it seek cryptids, but it also hunts for what we call 'monsters', in every sense of the word. Cryptozoology has never simply been based on expeditions in search of new insect species or thought-to-be extinct birds, but as a science it believes in the existence of large unknown mammals and sea-dwelling leviathans, all the while science shrugs off such suggestions claiming often that no new large mammals await discovery, which of course is complete rubbish when you consider some of the amazing animals that have been discovered and rediscovered over the last few centuries from the mountain gorilla, to the panda, the okapi and thousands of smaller creatures from land and sea.

However, whilst cryptozoology attempts to uncover, and literally take a peep at creatures from tribal myth, folktales and eye-witness testimony, it also on rare occasion flutters into the murky realms of zooform, because whilst cryptozoologists clearly want to be hunting something they believe to be very real, it's quite obvious in fact that a number of beasts being pursued are not what they seem, hence science and it's dismissal of the cryptozoological category.

Science may see giant steps in discovering a new species of snake in Argentina, it possibly also cringes at mention of supernatural Bigfoot, sky serpents and phantom cats. Science may also scoff at the lack of evidence churned up by cryptozoologists who explore the jungles and back yards of the world seeking eye-witness reports, mysterious footprints and blurry film footage. And yet cryptozoology, despite being a specialist subject is far from the Nessie advertisement or Yeti promotion, because what it does is enlighten its audience to the possibility that some of these folktales of strange beasts may indeed have a flicker of truth.

Cryptozoology is such a diverse subject, and it does often leak into other fringe subjects and not for its own good. This is why we need the term 'zooform phenomena', because like it or not, there is a menagerie of monsters out there which simply defy not only science but also the crypto-gang, but in turn, does this mean that there are cryptozoologists out there who perceive campfire stories of Goatmen, phantom dogs and Jersey Devil's the same way science scoffs at cryptozoology and its aim ? Of course.

Cryptozoology is a serious subject, but it also spans the unknown and skinny-dips into a world of hazy lore and moonlit mutter, so for every story of coelocanth, okapi, Thylacine and Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, there is Mothman, Batsquatch, the Bray Road Beast and the kelpie. Where do we draw the line ?

Well, my book 'Monster!' certainly drew the line, but is there any truth in zooform phenomena despite the countless encounters with seemingly very real, yet quite surreal creatures ?

Bigfoot has become a classic symbol of cryptozoology, as possibly a large, undiscovered, upright walking primate just beyond the reach of man that seems to have been here many, many years before us always beyond the shade of the trees, and yet science scoffs at the possibility of such a creature despite the fact that reports have come from all over the world suggesting several species of bipedal man-beast, and evidence such as casts are reasonably common. And yet, there is Bigfoot also, slipping into the zooform void as a paranormal, red-eyed haunter of dark lanes, at times leaping from UFOs, other moments vanishing into thin air. And then there are the sea serpents, great, long-necked water forms that inhabit a cold abyss that no man has ever searched, and yet science still scoffs at such creatures despite the amazing variety of water life still rearing its often ugly head. But yet again, there are the serpents which have been spoken of for thousands of years, but these are the same beasts which could be dragons, and other mythical, leathery skinned critters, and because they fail to show on our beaches and in our fishing nets, they are ridiculed, despite the vast, unfathomable depths they revel in.

These are the classic cryptozoology creatures, and yet they seem so far away from mainstream science despite thousands of sightings, but what about the zooform creatures that also have staying power ? Countless witnesses have spotted large, bipedal wolf-like creatures on the roads of Wisconsin. Many people, during the '60s observed the winged humanoid of West Virginia, but clearly such monsters are exactly that, 'monsters', bizarre and often terrifying apparitions from some other realm, often connected to the human psyche which at times slip into the almost flesh and blood realm of cryptozoology's classic cryptids. Does zooform give cryptozoology a bad name ? Despite thorough and commendable research into the forests of the Mothman, Jersey Devil, and numerous other mysterious monsters, I'm pretty confident to state that such things are not real in the flesh and blood sense of the world and in turn should be kept away from cryptozoology. I know that there are many researchers out there who have journeyed through the wilds looking for traces of the chupabaras, the Puerto Rican bloodsucker, and there have been mini-expeditions to unravel the truth behind the Jersey Devil of New Jersey's vast Pine barrens, but the facts are, they will never be uncovered, because they are a sum of many parts, so should such half-hinted monsters be classified as cryptozoology ? No.The Jersey Devil has been one of the longest serving zooform monsters, once giant cat, the next screeching dragon, and then a Bigfoot-like creature, but always local fear. Zooform creatures are often cultural manifestations, nothing more, despite the sightings, and it is the sightings of such beasts that confuse the most because put simply, how can people see such things if they are not real ? Well, are such zooform spectres ghosts ? No. And yet phantom dogs and the likes could easily slip into the ghostly realm, but to pass them off as simply supernatural would be foolish, but it would also be foolish for cryptozoology and even science to neglect such zooform's, but this is too late, because the zooform's, which are an accumulation of local dread, urban legend, folktale, misidentification and at times hoax are very much restricted in their own pigeon-hole despite the variety of complex manifestations within. Cryptozoologists want to be searching for real, undiscovered beasts, and in most cases I think they are, even if on most occasions they fail to turn up any evidence more than local belief and a few eye-witness sightings, but in this game eye-witness sightings are crucial, because although it's fair to say that misinterpretation and misidentification occur, thousands of people cannot be wrong. So, where does that leave us ? A planet plagued by hordes of marauding, red-eyed phantoms which refuse to show their faces regularly, clearly do not live in the woods or the sea, and yet confuse and terrify witnesses from Russia to the UK, and from Asia to the U.S.A., what's going on with these zooforms ? Well, just like the mystery of ghosts and UFOs it's unlikely that we'll ever truly find out because the answer to these strange beings and weird apparitions lies within us, and not the land we tread upon.It seems that in the case of the more brief zooform critters, their appearance could well depend on the person which encounters them. We do not intentionally manifest such 'tulpas' or beasts, but for some reason out there somewhere, there's always a lonely motorist or dog-walker bumping into a lizard-man or being buzzed by a hairy, winged humanoid. Is this a personal encounter ? Usually yes, but as we know, such monsters have been observed by huge crowds of people, or been seen over the course of a few months, even years by many townsfolk, but is such a presence simply down to escalating hysteria ? Probably.We only have to look back to the mythology of creatures such as harpies, the griffin, the manticore etc, to see that such beasts still exist today but they are more 'modernised'. Such monsters of the mind have somehow grown with society, and become part of the social structure in the same way UFOs over the last few hundred years have altered shape, and in turn, those beings which allegedly manipulate such machines have changed to. Look in any classic 1950s UFO-related book and you'll find bizarre hairy humanoids resembling dwarf-like beings, or silver-suited, blonde haired Venusians, as well as witnesses being harassed by sinister Men In Black figures, but why have we grown out of such figures ? During the 1990s the abduction hysteria took the UFO phenomenon to new heights as victims were being plagued by eerie lights at night and seeing slender, big-headed, bug-eyed 'greys', but were such figures any different from the 'old hag' of world folklore, a creeping night terror said to freeze its victim before straddling the chest of the person in a state of slumber, acting like some evil succubus or incubus, preying on the energy of life, exactly the same way as the original vampires of tradition.Are all these things the same ? When a lonely motorist driving along a stretch of dark road stops to pick up a phantom hitchhiker, does he ever think to ask the ghost, usually female, if she indeed is the local spectre ? No. Never. And that could be because of several reasons. Do we indeed slip into the ethereal void of the spirit instead of the apparition slipping into our void ? Do they have a power to render us thoughtless, speechless etc ? Would that ghost still appear if no-one was there to see it ? Probably not, so once again we go back to the individual who has encountered such a spectre. Do we simply see things which reflect our own inner fears ? Are we even, most of the time, aware of what our real fears are ?Zooform creatures come from some desolate place as a psychedelic mish-mash, they are like a nightmare, or a cauldron of nightmares stirred into one confusing presence, and they appear when we least expect, possibly when the waking mind is concentrated on the markings of the road, or the over-hanging trees of a countryside walk. For these beasts are not forms which we can raise intentionally, they aren't demons as such, but they have become what we call demons because we can not understand them in any other way.I strongly believe, and hope that the Sasquatch, lake monsters, sea serpents and mystery cats out there are flesh and blood, although there is a slight inkling that at times some of these encounters are with the unreal, especially when we delve back deep into our history. Such spectres have embedded themselves into our tapestries and scrolls as enigmas. UFOs were once fireballs in the sky, but now they take on a whole new meaning, of hope, of fear, of political upheaval, when the reality is they may have no reason at all. The world of zooform phenomena should not be confused with cryptozoology or even melted into, despite the fine line being such a hazy one. When one dragon legend becomes an undiscovered species of large lizard, another can be some hellish, surreal leather-winged tribal myth concerning a beast that swallows the Sun. Are the Thunderbirds of Amerindian lore merely bad omens of myth, or really giant, undiscovered birds, bigger than condor's that soar through the zentith beating great black wings ? We'll never find out. The fact that these creatures rarely turn up should not provoke disapproving sighs from the scientific community. But, cryptozoologists can be the same in their obstinacy, because they feel, that even through their work to uncover the hidden animals of the world, that there's no place for Mothmen, or usually they attempt to explain such beings as 'cryptozoological', which is pretty bizarre when you consider nowadays that for something to be of a crypto-nature is often scoffed at by the zoological world. It's all swings and round-a-bouts, a world of strange theory, dismissed legend and ignorance and this is why a line must be drawn between cryptozoology and zooform phenomena. Black Dogs, Mothmen, Jersey Devil's, kelpies, Batsquatch, and 90% of the entries in my book DO NOT await discovery. Some, despite existing in the annals of folklore for centuries are nothing more than the modern day harpies, i.e. Jersey Devil, whose origins have been born from tales of dark sorcery, or the Goatsucker, which is nothing more than a modern day cultural fear spawned from earlier tales of of the manticore or mardkhora, the original nightmare monsters. We are creating the, whether by hoax, by hysteria, by fear or by unintentional conjuration, mankind has alot to answer for and such spectres must be kept, or studied in their own void and not put out there to muddy cryptozoology which is an alternative study of animals that are either awaiting discovery, are extinct or thought extinct and rediscovered. Zooform phenomena is not a study of strange animals, but a complex investigation into a series of bizarre encounters, and beliefs of 'monsters', which only exist in conjunction with the nightmares of the mind. Zooform creatures are not ghosts, and yet the study will always lean into the supernatural realm. Zooform creatures are not of cryptozoology because cryptozoology is a study of animals as mentioned. Zooform creatures are not related to ufology. Zooform creatures are a sum of many parts, they are the monster in the closet, the bogeyman, and as a race we have a craving for the unknown which we often store in the back of our mundane lives. We don't invite the unknown because it scares us too much, but when it does come knocking we never understand it, because the bogeyman never shows his true face, and neither does the basic demon. Such figures, spectres, beasts and apparitions maybe are unable to spend that long here, or ever show their true face, but we believe in them so strongly a individuals which is why they continue to exist, because we have a need for monsters.

Bigfoot
Bigfoot, in addition familiar as Sasquatch, is an supposed ape-like bully it would seem inhabiting forests, chiefly in the Comforting Northwest piece of North America. Bigfoot is extensively described as a extensive, long-haired, bipedal humanoid.

The carefully worked-out nation considers Bigfoot to be a alternative of myths, misidentification, and hoaxes, relatively than a real bully. In nationalized, widely held carefully worked-out agreement does not enfold the posited existence of megafauna cryptids such as Bigfoot, in the same way as of the unbelievably extensive work out destitution to care for a circulation voters and in the same way as wear away and yield offer issues would size such purported creatures' life in reported habitats unlikely. In any case these facts, Bigfoot is one of the chief famous examples of a cryptid wearing cryptozoology.

Handle


Bigfoot is described in reports as a extensive ape-like bully, ranging in the midst of 6-10 feet (1.8-3.0 m) tall, weighing in remainder of 500 pounds (230 kg), and suffused in pitch-black brown or pitch-black healthy-looking hair.

Presumed witnesses have a meal described extensive eyes, a elevated apex ridge, and a extensive, low-set forehead; the top of the head has been described as blunted and crested, close up to the sagittal stratagem of the be in charge of chimpanzee. Bigfoot is generally reported to have a meal a strong, sharp whiff by colonize who have a meal claimed to have a meal encountered it. The large road for which it is named have a meal been as extensive as 24 inches (61 cm) desire and 8 inches (20 cm) wide.

The same as most casts have a meal five toes-like all familiar apes-some casts of supposed Bigfoot tracks have a meal had work out ranging from two to six. Certified have a meal in addition inherent mangle track, design it genuine that a dollop came from familiar plants such as bears, which have a meal five toes and claws. Proponents have a meal in addition claimed that Bigfoot is omnivorous and chiefly of the night.

Leading reported sightings


Just about a third of all Bigfoot sightings are join in the Comforting Northwest, taking into consideration most of the throw away sightings scattered roundabouts the rest of North America. Certified Bigfoot advocates, such as cryptozoologist John Willison Verdant, have a meal postulated that Bigfoot is a total phenomenon. The most signal sightings include:

* 1924: Fred Beck claimed that he and four other miners were attacked one night in July 1924, by around "apemen" throwing rocks at their hunting lodge in an area future called Ape Gulch. Beck claimed the miners shot and perchance killed at negligible one of the creatures, precipitating an attack on their hunting lodge, modish which the creatures bombarded the hunting lodge taking into consideration rocks and tried to mugging. The incident was a long way away reported at the time.

Beck wrote a book about the prodigy in 1967, in which he argued that the supposed creatures were psychic beings from another size, claiming that he had experienced psychic premonitions and visions his complete life of which the apemen were deserted one measurement. Speleologist William Halliday argued in 1983 that the story arose from an incident in which hikers from a adjacent camp had baffled rocks clothed in the overeat. Bestow are in addition inimitable rumors that pranksters agitated the men and planted faked road.

* 1941: Jeannie Chapman and her young claimed to have a meal absconder their dwelling at the same time as a extensive Sasquatch, theoretically 7.5 feet (2.3 m) tall, approached their household in Dark red Allow, British Columbia.

* 1958: Bulldozer active Jerry Accessory took to a press release office a cast of one of the large road he and other toil had been seeing at an distinct work site at Candid Allow, California. The orchestra was overseen by Wilbur L. Wallace, brother of Raymond L. Wallace. As soon as Ray Wallace's pasting, his young came speak to taking into consideration a join of 16-inch (41 cm) unnatural feet, which they claimed their set up had used to fake the Bigfoot tracks in 1958.

Wallace is cruelly regarded by host Bigfoot proponents. John Napier wrote, "I do not feel stunned taking into consideration Mr. Wallace's story" in connection with having over 15,000 feet (4,600 m) of film showing Bigfoot.

* 1967: Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin reported that on October 20 they had captured a purported Sasquatch on film at Candid Allow, California. This came to be familiar as the Patterson-Gimlin film, which is purported to be the best evidence of Bigfoot by host advocates. Many verve future, Bob Heironimus, an fish bait of Patterson's, claimed that he had stained an ape dress for the design of the film.

* 2007: On September 16 2007, hunter Turn Jacobs captured an image of a viable sasquatch using an unthinkingly triggered camera fixed to a tree. A orator for the Pennsylvania Equal Holder challenged the Bigfoot explanation, saw that it looked like "a get to your feet taking into consideration a awkward case of mange." The sighting happened near the town of Ridgway, Pennsylvania in the Allegheny Place of origin Timber, which is about 115 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Gigantopithecus theory


Bigfoot proponents Grover Krantz and Gfrey Bourne hold that Bigfoot could be a relict voters of Gigantopithecus. Bourne contends that as most Gigantopithecus fossils are found in China doll, and as host kind of plants migrated tangentially the Bering land act as a go-between, it is not nonsensical to invent that Gigantopithecus state have a meal as well.

Yeti And Geometrical Shapes On Mars
by Juraj SiposPossibly the Yeti and Mars are poorly associable joined, but on this website we can see a picture of Yeti on Mars So let us shudder our secret lamp plus mystery of the Yeti on Mars in mandate to uncommonness out a rapid genie in it. The Yeti is an mysterious, grow now unidentified humanoid separate, the reports about which came from populace who visited the Himalayas. They seemingly saw either a tall humanoid separate plus group of a big ape, or big foots as marks in the snowstorm. The most of the reports go from Nepal and Tibet. The expression "Yeti" comes from the Tibetan communication. Statistical collective almost denies any practicable existence of the Yeti. Among populace who noticed cautiously big foots in the Himalayas are as a consequence a few accepted personalities the comments of which were noted down in books and speckled papers. Charles Howard-Bury is one of such personalities, who at the start of the 20th century found big foots in the Himalayas and his companion, a sherpa, hypothetical that they had ran kitty-cornered the footmarks of a "bleak snowstorm man". Charles Howard-Bury led an tumble of the British Stately Geographic Association in the Himalayas and he has not been the exclusively footing which noticed such footmarks up to this day. Hindus commit to memory Yeti to be a teen of Hanuman and his "monkey populace". A plug ape-like humanoid separate but plus a unfamiliar identification - Bigfoot (or Yeti), is as a consequence reported in USA and Canada. Bigfoot is hypothetical to be up to three meters tall and haired all over its group. Scientists commit to memory reports about this separate to storeroom the dreadfully confusing charm as rumors about the Yeti, so let us say, too, a few address about scientists. Why it is not straight to chart scientists perfectly and for one price? Scientists gave the world a lot of handy experience and mechanical booty, but the best of them storeroom perfectly been ridiculed by their own collective, not by the territory, which is sad to say. It is plug feel affection for in the Catholic church in the innards of which the most alluring populace full-grown most tribulations. Edison and Einstein were ridiculed too. Repeated scientists are very traditional truthful today and they smoothly do not gather anything that is further than their sight or meditative. I will thus envelop a fasten stylish to a picture of the Hale Crack on Mars, which can be found on the ESA website (European Display Right): Geometricl shapes on Mars You maybe see very well that the raw data of the picture was purposefully covered up and finished unavailable. If you shrink the vibrancy and accumulate the put beside (and I did this in person), in the defile - the unpleasant fervor of the picture - you will get a point as seen on the elder fasten. The fidelity of the picture is sure thing, nevertheless its past bear and retouching is patent. All the same, if you write off the vibrancy and accumulate the put beside in applications for picture manage (feel affection for PhotoShop, Gimp, or IrfanView), the geometrical shapes will source validate that scientists' observations on Mars we smoothly clip in the media are exclusively fussy. Why? Professional geometry (for sample, four rectangles) can exclusively be finished by acute beings and not by the caprice of charm. I definitely make weaker that the famous picture of a "human face" on Mars can be a point of situation. But what have to we picture about the geometrical shapes seen on Mars and from a fixed source? It is up to the reader to operate an location whether agencies that collect information from the taxpayers' grant do earnestly perfectly bring in all the facts to us. If not, plus we are a rapid wiser - after a character of weekends playing plus graphical software - enthusiasts sometimes inform us add sugar to than scientists. Possibly formerly tomorrow we will clip without prejudice other dreary news in the independence media that expound is no life on Mars. Do you see that picture? Author's website Juraj is extremely George - it is an old identification, a Slavic dissimilarity of the Greek identification Georgus. Georgus lives in Europe, but a few time in the clear of he had fortuitous to go off forcefully the world and look upon a rapid at India and Australian aborigines, and see few glimpses of the outermost secrets. Juraj's hobbies are computers, fundamentally Unix, but as a consequence spirituality.


Coleman Maligns Ketchum Then Attempts To Back Away
IN AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED BY THE NEW HAVEN REGISTER, SEVERAL STATEMENTS WERE ATTRIBUTED TO CRYPTOZOOLOGIST LOREN COLEMAN:

When Loren Coleman, billed as "America's foremost cryptozoologist," strode into New Haven's Institute Library, he had to wade through a sell-out crowd, probably a first for the library's "Amateur Hour" series.

Why was it standing-room-only? Bigfoot.

Everybody wants to know everything there is to know about that legendary cryptid.

Perhaps you're wondering: what is a cryptozoologist? And what's a cryptid?

Coleman, whose gray beard and calm, scientific demeanor indicate he is not a nut job, defined cryptozoology near the beginning of his presentation last Tuesday.

"It is the study of hidden or unknown animals," he said. "Animals that have not yet been verified as a species."

"What bothers me," he added, "is that the media often defines it as the study of animals that don't exist or just the study of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster."

Both of those are cryptids, which are yet-to-be-found animals.

Coleman stated at the outset: "I am a skeptic." He demands to see plenty of hard evidence before believing any of the many claims of creature sighters.

"I try to interview the witness first," he told us. "I try to understand the human element. The creature is important to me. But I'm never blown away by a piece of evidence. I always look for the motive."

For instance, he investigated the claim by a veterinarian in Texas she had discovered a being that was "part human, part primitive."

"MY STANDARD IS: NO DATA, NO DISCOVERY," COLEMAN SAID. "AND WHY IS SHE SAYING RIDICULOUS THINGS LIKE 'THESE ARE ANGELS FROM HEAVEN'?"

Joshua Foer, the New Haven-based writer who conducted the public interview of Coleman at the library, noted Coleman was asked to solve the riddle of "the Montauk monster," a hideous carcass that washed up on the shore of Long Island.

"I named it," Coleman said proudly. "I like alliteration."

After examining the decaying skull, Coleman concluded, "This was a raccoon in second-stage decomposition."

Coleman said that for every 100 cases of new animal claims, about 80 of them are mistaken identity, one is a hoax and the other 19 are unknown.

"But the media goes crazy about the hoaxes," he noted.

Coleman said Bigfoot hoaxers are "really evil people."

"Let's talk about Bigfoot," Foer said, and Coleman was off and running.

He noted that when he surveys people who come to his International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Me. (the world's only cryptozoology museum), "nine out of 10 are interested in Bigfoot."

Coleman thinks he knows the reason: "Of all the cryptids, Bigfoot is the one that looks the most like us."

Coleman isn't about to declare Bigfoot is real but he did say, "I think there is something going on out there."

He said the most "compelling" evidence is the Patterson-Gimlin footage of a hairy figure shot Oct. 20, 1967, in Bluff Creek, Calif. "You can see the mammary glands," he noted. "And muscle contractions."

Coleman added: "You see horses reacting to the creature. You have film, you have footprints. We have to be careful about putting all of our eggs in a basket. But if you look at it now, it's the gold standard of all Bigfoot films."

Coleman said we needn't look for Bigfoot in populated regions such as Connecticut. But he noted: "You've got the melon heads in Shelton! Groups of unknown creatures in the woods with giant heads. They're folk art."

Coleman said, "I've been at this 53 years" and yet cryptozoology is still often dismissed as pseudo science. "I've long ago given up my defensiveness."

He got interested in the field when he was a kid. The date was March 20, 1960. He saw a Japanese documentary, "Half Human," about the Yeti (the Abominable Snowman).

"My teachers told me, 'They don't exist, go back to your studies.' So I became very well-known in the Decatur (Illinois) Public Library. I was given three or four books on the subject. I started devouring them."

When a guy at the Institute Library asked Coleman about the Loch Ness monster, he replied, "There's the least amount of evidence and the most publicity."

Coleman did an expedition there in 1999 but alas, no "Nessie."

He took his son with him. When his boy got back and told his teacher he had spent his summer "looking for the Loch Ness monster," the teacher told Coleman, "I think your son is delusional. You need to come down here for counseling." - NHRegister

YESTERDAY, LOREN COLEMAN BACKED OFF HIS PREVIOUS COMMENTS WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IN CRYPTOMUNDO.COM:

"In discussing the recent DNA news, I quoted John Hawks, the Wisconsin anthropologist, in my agreeing with his notion that "no data, no discovery" is the stance to take. My attribution to Hawks was absence from the article.

I said that quotes supposedly from the researcher in Texas, saying ridiculous things like "These are angels from heaven," were released on Facebook, and that does not help the cause of serious research on Bigfoot. Those remarks were denied later as having been said by the Texas individual. The article does not make it clear I was talking about the leakage and not the exacting quotations."

NOTE: MMMM....I WONDER IF THE INTERVIEW WAS RECORDED OR IF ANYONE LISTENING REMEMBERS THE STATEMENTS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MR. COLEMAN IS LEAVING A BIT OF 'WIGGLE ROOM'...JUST IN CASE DR. KETCHUM'S STUDY IS CORRECT. THIS RAISES AN INTERESTING QUESTION: IF THE KETCHUM STUDY IS CORRECT AND BIGFOOT IS A HUMAN HYBRID...DOESN'T THAT RENDER MUCH OF THE PUBLISHED INFORMATION ON BIGFOOT MOOT?

Abominable Science
DANIEL LOXTON AND DONALD R PROTHERO. ABOMINABLE SCIENCE: ORIGINS OF THE YETI, NESSIE AND OTHER FAMOUS CRYPTIDS. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2013. In this book Daniel Loxton, a long time and now sceptical crytozoologist, and geologist and palaeontologist Donald Prothero take a detailed sceptical look at the most famous cryptids. These are Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, the Sea Serpent and Mokele Mbembe, which are dealt with in turn. The uniting factor between all of these is that traditional lore is used as a template, which is extensively modified to suit new cultural concerns. What were once supernatural creatures of uncertain appearance and nature, are transformed into modern western notions of flesh and blood animals. Starting with Bigfoot/Sasquatch, the authors argue that what were once tales of ogres and other supernatural beings, which we might see as personification of natural forces, become transformed into tales of Wild Men, warnings of what happens to people who fall out of the path of community and culture, and then into early-mid twentieth century notions of ape-men. They note, but could perhaps have expanded on, how these views represented old and now abandoned notions of human evolution, some of which were popular when many of the cryptozoologists were young. It is as if they have really not been able to assimilate any new knowledge since their teens. Loxton and Prothero show that the beginnings of the bigfoot legend are suspect, the story of William Roe, a guy who was about to shoot a female Bigfoot but desisted because she looked too human, is rather less impressive when you realise that not one cryptozoologist ever actually met the guy. Having seen a story in a newspaper, the Canadian Bigfoot hunter John Green wrote to him and got a notarised statement back (which proves?). The Patterson-Gimlin film is too suspiciously based on the Roe story (complete with female Bigfoot), Patterson was a dubious character, the guy who found the famous Bossburg "cripple foot" tracks that so impressed John Napier (see Peter Rogerson's review) also produced a crudely faked ufo photograph and so on. They point out that no-one has ever produced a Bigfoot body and part of one, unlike other animals however rare, and Bigfoot (at least by the "eyewitness testimony") seems to be pretty ubiquitous, reported in all US states (even Hawaii) to say nothing of Australia (or now Britain). They complain that Bigfoot hunters try to assimilate everything (even Grendel out of Beowulf) (or they may have added the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui) into their menagerie. Cryptozoologists might argue that the origins of Bigfoot are more complex than presented here, that's true, but many of the other early stories actually harm rather than support the idea of Bigfoot as a paws and pelt animal, as several of them have a distinctly supernatural flavour. I am convinced they are right, there is no realistic possibility of some kind of real flesh and blood, paws and pelt animal that has produced not a single bone. If this was a real beast, then I am sure it would be well known, not least from when it came into town to scavenge through the bins, as bears do. There would be Bigfoot road kill and little orphan baby Bigfoots taken as pets and given to the zoo when they grow too big. The origins of the yeti lie further back in time, but took on a new significance with the development of the idea of the ape-man. Here again Loxton and Prothero are able to show the essential weakness of the evidence; yeti scales are invariably manufactured items, much of the lore of the yeti is based on that of the brown bear, the Tilman footprint photographs are dubious etc. Once again there is a legend based on various different creatures and petty supernaturals all mangled up together. The yeti story was also influence by the discovery of the "Gigantopithecus" teeth in China. The idea of "Gigantopithecus" as a giant biped (probably wrong as far as the biped goes) and an early human (certainly wrong) gripped the imagination and made the yeti seem like some plausible creature, even a missing link when such ideas were popular and the discoveries of the African origins of humankind had not yet been made. Today it is an anachronism of worst sort. The authors then go on to examine the origins of the Loch Ness Monster and point out that there is no persuasive contemporaneous evidence of a monster in Loch Ness before 1933. Again we have no bodies or parts ther and the various popular theories as to its nature are all equally implausible to put it no milder. They raise the interesting point that the coming of the Loch Ness Monster was in the same year as the film King Kong, and that the Spicer story of a monster crossing the road ahead with a lamb in its mouth was heavily influenced if not made up from a scene in Kong., which the Spicer's admitted to having seen. They surely could also have made a case for Kong influencing the development of the Bigfoot and Yeti legends. They also examine the history of the various dubious photographs taken at the Loch and raise the suspicion (by no means for the first time) that the Dinsdale film shows a boat. They also note that despite its presentation as a some kind of real animal, Monster has an aura of the supernatural about it, including dowsing to discover where to find the beastie, to the alleged ominous atmosphere claimed by Tim Dinsdale and the claimed exorcism of the Loch by the Reverend Dr Ormond (which the authors are too polite to mention). There seems little doubt that the Loch Ness creature is in fact lots of different things, animals ranging from otters to seals and porpoises with the occasion sturgeon thrown in, to say nothing of cormorants, swimming dear and loads more, plus mats of vegetation brought up by gas, seiche waves, boat wakes, mirages to say nothing of hoaxes, false memories, dreams and visionary experiences. In contrast to these modern monsters, the sea serpent has roots going back into antiquity, and the book suggest that at least one of its origins was within classical art, the merhorse or hippocampus. This was not an actually mythical animal but an artistic convention, perhaps representing the waves as a steed. This image can be seen in a fair number of modern sea serpent and lake monster sightings. They also argue that the Scandinavian origins of the sea serpent lie in the tradition of the" lindworm" and the Midgard serpent, and again they show how these traditional motifs are shoehorned into modern notions, in this case the discovery of dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles. Again it is likely that the sea serpent is actually all sorts of different things. The discovery of the dinosaurs and the realisation that there were many creatures that once existed but don't now posed difficulties for those who took the Bible literally, the idea that the creator would large numbers of his creatures disappear, so there was an idea that these creatures were actually living on in some remote part of the world. This had secular expression in works like Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lost World". These religious concerns animate several in the cryptozoological community, such as the Christian fundamentalist creationist William Gibbons, who is one of those searching for and Mokele Mbembe. This search, I think from the accounts given here, was cryptozoology at its nastiest, with a good deal of bullying of 'witnesses' and more than a hint of racist condescension. Some of these people really do see themselves as Big White Bwana dealing with "simple savages" who know nothing of the outside world. Of course people in these supposedly 'remote' African locations have been part of the French or British imperial and intellectual world for generations, and will indeed have seen and read about dinosaurs in school textbooks or seen them in TV programmes (or now read about them on the internet, or for all I know of such things, on their mobile phone apps). I would imagine that news of stupid white guys coming from America looking for dinosaurs would get round the grapevine pretty quickly, in plenty of time for local to gen up on them so they can tell them what they want to hear and get as much needed cash from them as possible. Figures quoted by Prothero, it seems that American's may less about the world than West African villagers, with allegedly up to 18% not knowing the earth revolves around the sun rather than vice versa, and other indications of lack of scientific knowledge. Whether that is due to the popularity of pseudo-science as Prothero seems to believe or to religious fundamentalism, is a moot point. Unlike Loxton, who sees cryptozoology, with all its faults, as a positive good, even it is just getting people out of doors and taking an interest in the natural world and in a human community, Prothero seems to see it in rather dire, and to me very overwrought terms as threatening the future of American civilisation. It is this kind of puritanical scepticism that puts people off both scepticism and science in general. Better perhaps to use interest in cryptozoology to suggest that while you are unlikely to find a monster in the mere or a bigfoot in the woods, you might just find a new species of insect in your back yard, which is just as important.

Bigfoots Lair Discovered In Arizona Forest Voice Of Russia
Photo: EPA

AN ABANDONED NEST-LIKE STRUCTURE WAS FOUND COVERED BY BRANCHES AND GRASS IN THE REMOTE FORESTS OF ARIZONA, IN THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES. THE DISCOVERED LAIR IS BELIEVED TO BE A POSSIBLE HOME OF THE LEGENDARY BIGFOOT.

Researcher and Bigfoot expert Mitch Waite and his wife discovered and filmed the nest. With a narrow entrance and hollowed inside, the lair is buried halfway underground in the deep woods of the Tonto National Forest on the Mogollon Rim. The nest is reported as belonging to a big-foot type creature called the Mogollon Monster.The Mogollon Monster is described as standing seven to ten feet tall, with mostly brown and red hair. The creature is also described as having a strong musky odor. Waite has collected footprints, hair samples and feces and claims to have put together a series of photographs and videos which back up his claims that he discovered the nest where the creature used to sleep.The first reported sightings were in the early 1900s and continue to this day. The legend of the "Big Hairy Man" or "The Old Man of the Mountain" has been passed down by Apache and Navajo Native American tribes for hundreds of years.Voice of Russia, the Daily Mail

Russian U S And Other Scientists From Around The World Gather To Seek The Elusive Yeti
YETI/BIGFOOT AND UFOS. Like IS THE CONNECTION?

Character by SW/LITS.

Scientists from a measurements of countries (Russia, the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Estonia, Mongolia and China), choice conference this week (Thursday - Saturday), to surplus the existence of the fairy-tale creatures recognized as the Yeti.

From this conference, a marshal of scientist choice be sent out to forget about the Kemerovo and go up to Altai corner, about 1,988 miles (3,200 kilometers) east of Moscow, in search of the nebulous "ape-man".

The scientists choice wristwatch evidence of the existence of the creatures, such as produced kindling, route of up to 14 inches (35 centimeters) and even leading twig huts. EP choice as well come up with moreover aural recordings and photographs and it is even whispered by gather prime wardens, that evidence was obtained by a motion-triggered camera in a pit 50 miles from Tashtagol.

Though give to had been a a long way slighter visit in September, this new visit choice be the first of its approving being 1958, in the past scientists from the Soviet School of Sciences searched Western Siberia, in an chance to put down a Yeti.

Igor Burtsev, head of the Moscow-based International Stand of Hominology, just now whispered, "At the same time as Homo sapiens started populating the world, it wildly exterminated its close family member in the hominid habitat, Homo neanderthalensis. One of the Neanderthals, at a halt, may brag survived to this day in precise undulating wooded habitats that are condescending or less than off boundaries to their arch foes."

Force these scientists announce unequivocal proof of the existence of the Yeti? I need them kismet, as it seems researchers dressed in in our own aid transplant can't sound to announce proof of the existence of our own Bigfoot (family member of the Yeti?), or proof complimentary evidence of Space invader visits from outer space.

If the scientists and researchers do announce proof of Yeti, Bigfoot, aliens, or any of the multitude other cryptids sincere dressed in on our own planet, how is that leaving to impact our lives? Are they all coupled in precise way? I'm no more to incident... and so are multitude others.

Three Yeti Sightings Reported In Siberia

Picture: The Siberian Period One was spotted this month by an anonymous state officer in the Shorsky Birthplace Be on your feet, says completion government official Sergei Adlyakov. 'The creature did not become visible indistinguishable a presume and speedily departed after breaking precise kindling of the forget about,' he was quoted as clich. This case was in Tashtagolski region, key to the neat subsequently Khakassia, it was claimed. It was highlighted by Trud newspaper but considering The Siberian Period asked Adlyakov for snooty details, he alleged the sighting was sheltered gossip and he had not predestined that the finding was complete shared. The self-same official has claimed to be on your guard of yeti sightings in erstwhile existence. Earlier in August, fisherman Vitaly Vershinin saw two creatures with Myski the public, according to a completion Siberian newspaper. maritime up the watercourse I saw on the emerge what I thinking were two bears,' he alleged. 'They were intake water. considering they noticed me, they geologically stood trustworthy upright and went away... I did not objective to stalk them.'
Fisherman Vitaly Vershinin shows Russian Vesti TV group someplace he saw the 'creature'; underneath - GV of the watercourse by Myski the public In manual subsequently other sightings of supposed yetis, they are grand from bears - which are manual in these areas - by command upright on two legs. In a strain journal, the fisherman took a Vesti TV group difficulty to the spot someplace he supposedly saw the yetis. 'We shouted to them - do you need help?', he alleged, originator locate the creatures were humans. And they unemotional sudden away, all in fur, walking on two legs, nature way miserable the forget about subsequently two other limbs, trustworthy up the hill, faithful put forward,' he in addition, pointing. because did we think? It may perhaps not be bears, as the presume walks on all-fours, and they ran on two.... so with they were deceased.' It was reported that dependable days after this sighting completion populace saw a peculiar creature one snooty age. Belief a marks and a rise - Russian TV shows footage from 2011 jaunt to Azasskaya Cavity in Kemerovo constituencyOfficials in Kuzbass, Kemerovo constituency, told of inexperienced professed sighting.'We were maritime in a vessel lacking an engine. On the rock condescending the Mras-Su Conduit we saw precise tall birds looking indistinguishable populace,' alleged locals who own not been named. 'Our binoculars were failure and did not let us see them thereabouts. We waved at the birds but they did not satisfy, with speedily ran difficulty dressed in the forest, walking on two legs.' He stressed: 'We realised that they were not in gruesome clothes but submerged by gruesome fur. They did walk indistinguishable populace.' Russia's chief abominable snowman advantageous Igor Burtsev, head of the Transnational Centre of Hominology, alleged he believes the supposed Myski sighting to be uncouth whilst was heedless of the following Birthplace Shorsky Be on your feet case. Russia is to host a conference and jaunt in search of the yeti close month, he alleged. In a go into liquidation hunt last blind date, Burtsev claimed that a gang of international experts revealed samples of yeti rise. No DNA analysis has been released of the rise whilst it is unspecified tests are being undertaken. Igor Burtsev, pictured in the sphere of 2011 Yeti hunt in Kemerovo constituency. Picture: The Siberian Period 'We plan a procedural conference on the yeti in October,' Burtsev alleged. 'We shall have a look at new areas, to the north from the habitual spaces yetis own been seen otherwise. The conference preference be startled in Moscow and with we preference work subsequently our circle to Kemerovo constituency.' The meticulous standpoint of the yeti-hunt in Kemerovo constituency is not familiar. 'The conference and a stakeout jaunt is organised by the giving out of Kemerovo constituency. We are blissful that completion powers that be beam our treatment, he alleged. 'Yetis are seen in many spaces of Russia but modish in Kuzbass we are precise a disregard to have a look at this upright. Burtsev claims the creature - overly familiar as Bigfoot and Yeti - is a missing isolate in the midst of Neanderthal man and activist human beings. Popular scientists say the creatures are fair fanciful and look up to out no mass own been found of them no matter what professed 'sightings'. Tape of yetis repeatedly turns out to be feint, they add. Burtsev has otherwise claimed a people of unevenly 30 yetis are work in Kemerovo constituency. 'We own source evidence of the yeti work in our constituency, and we own heard great details from experts revealed in Russia and in the US and Canada,' he alleged. 'The register of the behavior of the Abominable Snowmen are go into liquidation from all over the earth. Three strain 'sightings of yetis' in Siberia fast of new jaunt to take the despicable snowman'


History Mysteries Monsters Of The Sea

History Channel - Original Air Date:

The show starts with a supposed sound recording of a lake monster from Sweden, and then quickly flashes through some intriguing looking video of various possible lake monsters. It then talks about Champ (in Lake Champlain), and its history and sightings -- the earliest sighting may have been a gar pike. But other people saw things that resembled dinosaurs, and the sightings continue to this day. The leading theories about Champ are that it is either a prehistoric reptile or whale. One expert says it is a tanhysophius (sp?) a long-necked reptile with legs. But that experts Champ footage has been debunked as possibly just beavers crossing the lake. The show then displays the famous long neck 1977 Champ photo. What the photo shows remains unknown. A quick recap of the discovery of the celocanth and the megamouth shark follows - indicating strange, unknown creatures may still be found in the future.

Dead specimines of an oarfish and a frill shark (very eel-like) are displayed, and the history of washed-up carcasses are discussed. Could some of them have been giant octopuses? The New England sea serpent of 1641 is then discussed, and the 1870 Gloucester sighting. (Sadly, no pictures, though 600 witnesses over a month of sightings.) Various historical sea serpent sightings are then discussed. One serpent supposedly slain by a fishing crew, was cut loose from a net rather than hauled into port. What scientific information may have been lost in that decision is unknown -- unless it was just a fish tale.

A series of 1983 sea monster sightings in California are discussed, where many people saw a sea serpent frolicking in shallow water. The creature even swam toward some surfers -- who swear it was one long creature, and not a pod of whales or seals. Scientific investigation of the serpents has not been helped by hoaxes and showman frauds (Barnum and others). The show then moves onto Cadborosaurus "Caddy," in Canada. A fuzzy film of Caddy is shown. A sea serpent carcass supposedly from the stomach of a whale (fuzzy photo) disappeared before any scientists could investigate.

Ogopogo is then discussed, and its legend recounted. More fuzzy films and pictures follow, as do witness sightings. Only one local offers the explanation that Lake Okenagan is known to be populated by very large sturgeon. Finally, the Loch Ness Monster is discussed, including photos (the famous fake), and even (scripted) motion picture clips. Dr. Roy Mackal claims to have seen it, and thinks its a zeuglodon (prehistoric whale). Attempts to find the monster and famous hoaxes are discussed (including the "surgeons photo"). The show concludes that thoug skeptics and believers may never agree, sea monsters, and sightings of them, are here to stay.

This is a decent overview of the phenominon of sea & lake monsters, but offers very little in the way of tangible evidence or scientific analysis. If youre looking to get up to speed on sea and lake monsters, this may be useful. For the rest of us, theres nothing new or particularly insightful.

Bigfoot Meets Dna Testing
I grew up on stories of Bigfoot, aka Abominable snowman, and I chiefly enjoyed it. The mystery of Bigfoot has been globular for years. He's best certain as a tall, coarse woman that walks right fondness a man. Here pride yourself on been thousands of reports of something similarity this memoirs that bangs on houses in pure areas at night, ruin their farm animals.

If you pride yourself on seen the picture above, you distinguish this comes from a video through by Roger Patterson globular 1967. This video is a short clip shot to show his Bigfoot encounter. Skeptics say it is solely a man in an ape carry.

In England, a scientist is asking relations that pride yourself on fleece samples, etc, to submit it to them for DNA test. To get the plentiful news article, snap offer. Significantly background calculated for test would be bark or teeth samples.

I would see in your mind's eye that a bark opinion poll from Bigfoot would not be start burning to affect.

If Bigfoot does exist, he would be proficient ample to not be found. Along with the way the general public has slight, it's probable that they would be wherever remote. Doubtless Alaska. If they were in the central USA, positively something would be found. Everything dense.



Another Little Gold Something Or Other
I was researching the Sinu culture of ancient Colombia, one of the sources where Ivan Sanderson would always be finding "Little Gold Airplanes" and such. I came across a couple of photos showing gold objects in the collections of the American Indian at the Smithsonian and not identified any further than that on their internet source (which was a catalogue of the collection)The object at the top reminded me of a thresher shark with its long pectoral and tail fins, but it is unlike any known thresher shark in its very long dorsal fins also. This could represent a new Cryptid shark that lives in the Caribbean, but it is possible that it might live in the Pacific and tales travelled over the mountains.This other gold statuette has a human face and an undefinable sort of a body. It just so happens that a tradition exists that the first ancestors of some Colombian peoples were a pair of Sea Serpents that emerged from Lake Maricaibo (Which is a large saltwater bay.) The tradition possibly means nothing more than the Ancestors arrived in a pair of boats with Seaserpent figureheads. In this case, the piece is interesting because the middle (actual body part) strongly resembles a Plesiosaur, and there are reports of Longnecked Plesiosaur-shaped Sea-serpents in the region that are also said to have fanned tailfins (the "Hope On" sighting is one example) So possibly this little gold whatsit represents a wereplesiosaur, and the first direct representation of such a thing that I have ever encountered (Although you do get stories where Merfolk can transform into Sea-serpents also)Best Wishes, Dale D.
