There have been many documentaries released on the subject of Bigfoot over the years, more especially since the 1970's, with the granddaddy of them all, Bigfoot: The Mysterious Monster (AKA The Mysterious Monsters) as well as the original In Search Of... with no less than 4 shows devoted to Bigfoot or Bigfoot-Like Creatures. There was also the Smithsonian-sponsored special Monsters: Mysteries or Myths? which had footage later used in B:TMM. There was also Bigfoot: Man Or Beast? (made in 1972, but later combined with Robert W. Morgan's documentary The Search For Bigfoot). Rounding out the '70's was 1978's Manbeast: Myth or Monster produced by Alan Landsburg (ISO) and featuring Peter Byrne. In the '80's and '90's, the documentaries were limited mainly to television, with programs such as Sightings and Unsolved Mysteries presenting new segments on the mystery hominoids, as well as Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World and Into The Unknown, as well as Ancient Mysteries devoting two hour-long segments to hairy hominids. Into the 21st Century, there has been a plethora of documentary/reality-TV devoted to hair-covered individuals, and the main individual responsible for some of the best programming on the mystery hominoids is Doug Hajicek and his production company Whitewolf Entertainment. They produced the gold-standard of Bigfoot documentaries, Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science and Mysterious Encounters, (2003) as well as Giganto: The Real King Kong (2005) and Monsterquest (2007-???). The newest series has devoted several segments to different hairy hominids around the world, with at least 4 more planned for the new season of the hit History series. Plus, Sci-Fi Channel has devoted a few segments to Sasquatch or related hominids on Destination Truth and Sci-Fi Investigates, and Discovery Channel devoted an episode of Best Evidence to Bigfoot. Plus, there have been independent documentarians who have emerged to create independent productions, such as Jay Michael, Autumn Williams, Don Keating and Ronald Roseman. But, what are the BEST documentaries? My top 5 are, in no particular order:
1. Bigfoot: The Mysterious Monster/Oregon Bigfoot: Search For A Living Legend Volume 1
2. Bigfoot: Man Or Beast?/Bigfooting In Oklahoma/Shaawanoki/Mystery of The Sasquatch Triangle
3. Oregon Bigfoot: Search For A Living Legend Volume 1/Bigfoot FAQ
4. Ancient Mysteries: Bigfoot
5. Monsterquest
What are yours? Leave me comments on what you think are the best documentaries on our hairy cousins. Thanks.

Editorial: Repeat Offenders (In Bigfoot Movies)
Many of us love to be entertained by Bigfoot Documentaries and also feature-length films, and some of us have quite a large DVD Collection of both. This is about feature-length films, and actors who star in more than one movie based on Bigfoot. The actor who is best known to be in multiple Bigfoot projects is Lance Henriksen, who starred in Sasquatch (The Untold), Abominable and Sasquatch Mountain (AKA Devil On The Mountain) between 2002 and 2006. He also narrated the Fox-TV Special World's Greatest Hoaxes: Secrets Finally Revealed. However, he is not the only three-peater in Bigfoot-related projects; Matt McCoy starred in Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter in 1994, Little Bigfoot in 1997 and Abominable in 2006. Rance Howard, veteran character actor and father of Oscar-Winning Director Ron Howard, also starred in Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter and in Sasquatch Mountain (Rance's son Clint was also in B:TUE). And, if we really wanted to, we could play a game of Six Degrees of Separation with some of these actors, such as that Rance Howard starred in B:TUE with Matt McCoy, who starred with Lance Henriksen in Abominable, as well as Howard co-starring with Henriksen in Sasquatch Mountain. Not too sure if there are any other correlations to make, but I do not know of any more at the moment. So, next time you stick one of your Bigfoot DVDs in the machine, you might see familiar faces in more than one Bigfoot Movie.

Conjoined Barn Swallows Cause Stir in Arkansas Yahoo! News
Leading off a pair of odd animal stories today: Conjoined birds are such a rarity no odds have ever been calculated for such a thing. But scientists at the Smithsonian Institution will soon be studying a pair of barn swallow fledglings found in Arkansas. Meanwhile, scientists are making the claim that evolution has led from piscatorial elocution to the elegant vocalizations of mankind, as explained in Human Speech Traced to Talking Fish.

Review: Beyond The Edge Radio 7-18-08
This was a great show, with guest George Knapp, who has investigated Area 51 and also the famous Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, which has some strange occurrences going on, such as UFOs, Bigfoot, Dogmen, Ghostly phenomenon and something called the Skinwalker, a spiritual figure which seems to be a witch or wizard-type entity. I called in to ask about the Bipedal Dogmen, as well as what the Skinwalker was and what the distance was from Area 51 to the Ranch. Scott Hackenslash started out the show with a great review of The Dark Knight as well as news on his new job at a comic book and hobby shop. Dunno what is up for next week, but it starts at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at Beyond The Edge Radio, Friday Nights at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central You can also download past episodes there, as well as subscribe via iTunes.

The boasts continue from Bigfoot Tracker, a Georgia orgnization bent on proving the existence of the large hairy hominoid. Would Bigfoot Tracker be making such extravagant claims if they had nothing to backup what they say? Meanwhile, there seems to be proof of a large melanistic felid prowling around in Galena, KS, as seen in New Black Panther Video.

Bewitching the Sceptics The West Australian
A new psychic versus psychic contest on Australia's Channel 7 needed some judges with paranormal ability to judge the entrants. So Stacey Demarco from Sydney was chosen as one of the judges because of her psychic ability...and perhaps her blonde good looks. On the other side of the judge's table will sit the reason the television program will be called "The One," skeptic Richard Saunders. Will Demarco, her fellow psychic-oriented judges, and the contestants be able to convert skeptic Saunders?

Hire Me to Find Bigfoot for $150,000! Cryptomundo
At auction giant eBay you can join in the bidding for the services of a self described big game hunter to track down Bigfoot or Yeti. The bidding starts at $150K. Is this a new venture into the big game hunting realm? Speaking of big game, the African lion is considered one of big game hunting's top prizes, but in El Paso County, CO, the hunt hasn't been successful, as reported in Daylong Search Yields Plenty of Spectacle, But No African Lion. Meanwhile, as though the pursuit of "real" cryptids were not enough of an adventure, at forgetomori the point is being made that even stranger creatures can be conjured up, as seen, with many photos, in Imaginary Animals - Alexandre Jorge.
Tracking Bigfoot No Small Feat for Local Detective Mercury News
David Paulides spent twenty years as a private investigator in Santa Clara County, CA. Then, four years ago, Paulides decided to combine his investigative abilities with his love of the outdoors by searching for Bigfoot. Paulides' decision led to the formation of North American Bigfoot Search and the forthcoming book The Hoopa Project: Bigfoot Encounters in California. By focusing on the Hoopa Indian Reservation, have Paulides and North American Bigfoot Search turned a corner in the search for Sasquatch?

Where Are All the Dead Sea Monsters? Tetrapod Zoology
Darren Naish takes you on an odyssey of many of the photographs of supposed remains of unknown sea creatures that have been reportedly captured, netted or washed up dead. Can there really be unknown giant vertebrates hidden in the ocean depths? At least one person thinks he was able to pinpoint one of the strangest of mainland monsters, as Coast-to-Coast AM reports in Chupacabras Creature Spotted in Michigan. Darren Naish is heard from again in today's Cryptomundo posting that follows up the question posed there yesterday by artistic recreation expert Bill Munns, who thinks it possible some giant dinosaurs sported trunks. Naish isn't of like mind, as explained in No Trunks, Says Paleontologist. With illustrations and photos. Following yesterday's report of a Maned Lion Spotted in Colorado, there's more from the scene in Dog or Lion? Beast Loose in El Paso County. Meanwhile, in England an unknown specimen has shown up in an unlikely place to go unrecognized, as explained in Mystery Insect Bugging Experts at London Museum.

Reviews: The No-Kill Zone and Squatch Detective Radio 7-7-08
The No-Kill Zone was pretty great, with guest Dallas Gilbert, who discussed his research in his different areas, as well as his photographic evidence and also his psychic links to the Forest Giants. Myself and Bill Green called in and asked Dallas various questions. Dallas answered all questions terrifically. Connie also called in just to give her stamp of approval to the show. Next Tuesday, at 6:00 EST/5:00 Central will be the next show, and Dallas might be making a return appearance, located at The No-Kill Zone Radio Show

Then, over on Squatch Detective Radio, you had guest Jaime Avalos from Mammoth Lakes, California, who discussed some very fascinating evidence he has found in the area, as well as his sighting in June 2006 in the same area. He took many questions from the chat, as well as calls from Richie from California, myself and Bill Green (I asked him about the area he lived in, and also whether he had found any remains of fish eaten by the Forest Giants, which he said he had not), and Bill asked him about whether he had heard of any new sightings or footprint discoveries in California. Jaime fielded several questions from the chat, and did a great job. Next week, Steve, Becky and Billy welcome John Cartwright, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at Squatch Detective Radio, Monday nights at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central
