Birth of Bigfoot Times-Standard
Do you know how the name "Bigfoot" came into being? Here's the history of the first application of the appellation to the hairy apelike creature also known as Sasquatch. And you'll find some history (maybe) of Bigfoot's southern cousin in A Chilling Remembrance: Swampee the Skunk Ape. Is Eddie Ayers telling the truth about an encounter in North Carolina?

San Bernardino County, California, is the home of the high desert areas of Apple Valley and Victor Valley, two sites supposedly teeming with ghosts. What's happening, apparitions-wise, in these high desert areas? Elsewhere, Greg Taylor at The Daily Grail tells you what he and a team of researchers think it takes to make a real haunted house: The 'Haunt' Project.

Mac Tonnies says, "We should all strive to be skeptics." Before you get all worked up in outrage, read Tonnies' definitions. There's much truth in what he has to say about these three divisions of researchers. Elsewhere, contrast Tonnies' remarks with those of ghost hunter Tonya Hacker in Paranormal Phenomena and Skeptics.
