Review: Bigfoot Quest 7-22-08

This was a great show, the fourth and last in an excellent series on Southern 'Squatchers, with guests Laurie, Jim King and Luke Gross, who described some interesting encounters they had in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Alabama, as well as sound encounters and footprint finds. I called in, as well as Thomas, and asked some great questions, including some I asked about regarding silence in an area where there are Forest Giants, as well as possible distraction tactics used by the FG's to distract witnesses from one while another is making racket off to the side. Dunno what Mike and Bob have planned for next week, but it begins at 9:0 0EST/8:00 Central at Bigfoot Quest, Tuesday Nights at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central You can also download past episodes, as well as subscribe vias iTunes. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

DVD Review: Batman: Gotham Knight

This short film, produced by the same crew that brought us Batman Begins and the current runaway hit The Dark Knight, is a series of six interlocking stories which give different interpretations of the Caped Crusader. Here are complete synopses of the six stories (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)

Have I Got A Story For You (Studio 4°C)

Written by Josh Olson. A street kid meets with three of his friends at a skate park. All three of them claim to have seen Batman earlier that day. Batman's battle with the Man in Black, a high-tech criminal, is told in reverse chronological order, with three very different interpretations of Batman's form and abilities: one describes him as a living shadow that can melt away and reappear at will (similar to Vampire Batman), another describes him as a half-bat, half-man creature (similar to Man-Bat), and one describes him as a combat robot called RoBat. At the end, Batman pursues the Man in Black to the skatepark, and captures him with the help of the fourth street kid. The fourth kid is able to see what Batman truly is after seeing him sustain injuries from the battle: a warrior in a Batsuit. He proceeded to tell his experience to his friends after Batman disappeared. Though the film credits give "story by" acknowledgment to first-time writer Jordan Goldberg, Josh Olsen acknowledged it was actually based on a very similar story by Frank Robbins called "The Batman Nobody Knows"[5]. The story was first printed in Batman #250 in 1973, and subsequently adapted as "Legends of the Dark Knight" in the original Batman: The Animated Series. According to Olsen: "The first time it's stealing, the second time it's borrowing, the third time you're creating a genre,".[6]

[edit] Crossfire (Production I.G.)

Written by Greg Rucka. Crispus Allen and Anna Ramirez are partners and members of the Major Crimes Unit that have been hand-picked by James Gordon. The two are assigned to take the recently captured Man in Black (captured during Have I Got A Story For You), revealed to be Jacob Feely, an escaped inmate from Arkham Asylum with an expertise in advanced electronics and explosives, to the Narrows to be incarcerated. On their way, they argue over whether Batman can be trusted, with Allen saying that they're just running errands for a vigilante, while Ramirez replies that Batman has changed Gotham for the better. As they are heading back, Allen declares his intention to leave the MCU, and Ramirez pulls into a vacant lot to confront Allen. However, the two get caught in a confrontation between gangs, The Russian and Sal Maroni. Maroni's men are gunned down, and Maroni takes refuge behind Allen and Ramirez's patrol car, which The Russian subsequently destroys with a rocket launcher. Ramirez and Maroni manage to get clear in time, while Allen is rescued by Batman, who proceeds to take out The Russian and his men. Maroni then threatens to kill Ramirez, but he, too, is dispatched by Batman. Batman recognizes Allen and Ramirez as Gordon's hand-picked officers, remarks that Gordon is a good judge of character, and disappears.

[edit] Field Test (Bee Train)

Written by Jordan Goldberg. An accident involving a new WayneCom satellite's gyroscopic electromagnetic guidance system gives Lucius Fox an idea for a device that will electromagnetically deflect small-arms fire. Bruce Wayne takes the device and attends a charity golf tournament being held by developer Ronald Marshall, with whom he discusses the mysterious death of a woman, Teresa Williams, who had opposed some of Marshall's plans. During the tournament, Wayne secretly takes Marshall's PDA device. Later that night, as Batman, he hijacks a boat owned by Sal Maroni and drives it alongside a boat owned by rival gang leader The Russian and proceeds to attack both gangs at once, with assistance from his new device. He attempts to force a truce between the two gang leaders until he can get evidence against them, but is disrupted when one of Maroni's men fires at him. The bullet deflects and instead hits one of The Russian's men. Distressed, Batman takes the injured man to the hospital. Later, he returns the device to Fox, stating that the device works too well, and that he is willing to put his life on the line, but no one else's.

[edit] In Darkness Dwells (Madhouse)

Written by David S. Goyer. The police respond to a riot in a cathedral where Cardinal O'Fallon was giving a sermon. According to eyewitness testimony, the Cardinal was abducted by a large lizard-monster and taken down into the crypts below the cathedral. Lieutenant Gordon, Crispus Allen, and Anna Ramirez investigate; Gordon has a brief conversation with Batman, who agrees with Gordon's theory that the Scarecrow's fear toxin is behind the riot as the doctor has been at large since the riot at the Narrows (during the event of Batman Begins). Batman gives Gordon an earpiece that will allow them to stay in contact and descends below ground, trying to find Cardinal O'Fallon and his abductor. A homeless man living in an abandoned subway station identifies the abductor as Killer Croc. Batman and Gordon briefly discuss the villain's past, but are cut off when Killer Croc himself shows up, under the influence of the fear toxin, and attacks Batman. Batman defeats him, but not before sustaining a bite that transfers some of the toxin to him. He then finds Cardinal O'Fallon being put on trial and sentenced to death by the Scarecrow, who is unhappy with O'Fallon's efforts to help the homeless. Batman leaps in to defend the Cardinal. Using the methane already present in the room, he sparks an explosion that destroys several water pipes, flooding the area and allowing him to escape with the Cardinal. Gordon appears in a helicopter to retrieve the Cardinal and offers to help Batman as well, but Batman refuses, saying, "Maybe next time."

[edit] Working Through Pain (Studio 4°C)

Written by Brian Azzarello. Continuing on from In Darkness Dwells, Batman is shot in the stomach by a man hallucinating in the sewers of Gotham. He cauterizes the wound and attempts to get out from underground, reflecting on his experiences with managing pain as he does so. First, he remembers volunteering with a relief effort and assisting a doctor in performing surgery without anesthesia. Next, he reflects on the lessons he learned from a woman named Cassandra, who was cast out of her community for disguising herself as a boy in an attempt to join a religious sect. Over several months, she teaches him to minimize his pain to the point where he can control it, sleeping on a bed of needles or standing on hot coals without reacting. One night, several young men appear to harass Cassandra, who takes their blows without seeming to feel them. Bruce steps in to defend her, not only demonstrating his ability to withstand their attacks, but defeating them all with his martial arts skills. Cassandra then tells him to leave, saying that he has learned what he came to learn. She then comments on how Bruce's pain was beyond her, or possibly even his, ability to handle, but how it also appeared to be leading him down a path he desired. Back in the present, Batman ends up in a gutter, where he discovers a cache of guns buried in the garbage. Alfred arrives to assist him and tells Batman to give him his hand so he can pull him out of the gutter, but Batman, arms full of guns, replies that he can't.

[edit] Deadshot (Madhouse)

Written by Alan Burnett. Bruce Wayne has a flashback to the murder of his parents. In his penthouse, he examinines the firearms he took from the underground tunnel's gutter (during the event of Working Through Pain) which he intends to turn in to the police. Wayne admits to Alfred that even though he vowed never to use them in the memory of his parents, he can still understand the temptation to use one. Meanwhile, in another city, an assassin known as Deadshot carries out an assassination on a local mayor and returns to his tropical base. There, one of his associates hires him to carry out a hit in Gotham. It is revealed that The Russian has put out a hit on Lieutenant Gordon, and Batman is called in to protect him. Batman gives Crispus Allen Ronald Marshall's handheld PDA device (which he stole as Bruce Wayne in Field Test), containing a link to encrypted e-mails proving that Ronald Marshall hired Deadshot in the past. He then follows Gordon's motorcade, with Alfred providing satellite-imagery assistance using the new WayneCom satellites. Deadshot attempts to shoot Gordon from a moving train, but Batman deflects the bullet. Deadshot then gleefully reveals that Batman was his real target the entire time, and that the threat against Gordon was merely a ruse to draw him out. He opens fire as the train enters a tunnel, and as Batman attempts to charge Deadshot, he is injured, falling off the train. Deadshot advances to where he saw Batman fall, gloating, but is ambushed from behind and disarmed. He and Ronald Marshall are arrested. Wayne confides to Alfred about how similar the fight in the tunnel seemed to the night his parents were murdered, and comments that "I've been trying to stop those two bullets all these years." He expresses discouragement, and Alfred agrees, but adds that he thinks Bruce has a higher purpose. Wayne looks up at the sky and sees the Bat-Signal.

[edit] Voice cast

Kevin Conroy, the iconic voice behind the Darkknight Detective in the '90's, returns to give voice to Gotham's protector for this project. Not only are there the six interlocking stories on Disc 1 of the special-edition set, but there are more goodies on Disc 2. A Mirror For The Bat gives us a look at the Batman's greatest villains in a 35-minute presentation which explores how without the villains, the hero would not be as strong, with some of the producers of the project, as well as DC Comics editors and artists and writers. Batman And Me: The Bob Kane Story is a revealing look at the creator of The Dark Knight and the early days of the comic-book incarnation and a biography on Kane, as told by his biographer and by family and friends, a terrific tribute to Kane, who passed away in 1998. Finally, as an extra-special bonus feature, four episodes of the iconic Batman: The Animated Series are presented by producer Bruce Timm-Heart Of Ice, I Am The Night, Legends Of The Dark Knight and Over The Edge. This DVD set is terrific, and the short 73-minute movie is a great bridge between the two Christopher Nolan feature films, which is what it is intended to be. I highly recommend this DVD set for all Bat-fans as well as movie fans, though it is very bloody in parts and skirts an R-rating (the film is rated PG-13). I don't recommend that kids watch the feature (let them watch the less-violent episodes of the Animated Series instead).

Book Review: The Unleashing by Clint Romag

This book, clocking in at just over 100 pages, is a true page-turner which keeps the reader glued to each page. It follows the story of Chad Gamin, his friend Shane and his father Willard, along with a group of campers and hunters, in the forests of Canada, who seem to be settling in for a good hunting trip for a week, when everything goes horribly wrong when Shane shoots what he thinks is a bear, but turns out to be a young Bigfoot. When he cuts off a part of the hand of this youngling and he and Chad return to camp, they are followed by a large Sasquatch, possibly the father or mother, and this sets off a chain reaction of terror and slaughter unlike any seen in even the movies. The entire clan of Bigfoot individuals in that area goes completely ballistic against any human and they willfully prey on humans, which leads to a most interesting conclusion and many narrow escapes. This book is written in the vein of The Shadowkiller and Dark Woods, with a touch of Jaws thrown in for good measure. I do recommend this crypto-fiction novel, even if it is not exactly an accurate portrayal of the true nature of the Forest Giants.
Now on a bimonthly schedule, the latest issue contains Strange Tales from the London Underground by Nick Redfern, Visiting the Land of the Stone Giants by Karl Shuker, and Ivan Sanderson by Curt Sutherly, among other articles, including " Who Was Dr. Bindelof?" by Anomalist Books author Rosemarie Pilkington.

Could a bunch of huge, hairy, hirsute giants, be living unfound in America? Well, the story of the re-discovery of the wood bison should give anyone pause for the fact it has already happened. Loren Coleman explains the educational and ecotourism potential of the wood bison. But if you're yearning for some Classic Bigfoot Cases enjoy this excerpt from this 1971 old documentary, Bigfoot: Man or Beast.

Review: Squatch Detective Radio 7-21-08

This was a great show, with John Cartwright as the guest, who described his 1983 sighting near the Virginia/North Carolina border which still affects him to this day, as well as some news from the Bigfoot world. Bill called in and asked John a great question about his sighting. I also called in and asked about John's proximity to the Bigfoot he saw and also what time of day it was. I also gave a thumbs up to the report from last night on Fox News about the Honey Island Swamp Monster, as well as Chris Bartow calling in and also the members of the Searching For Bigfoot team. Next week, Steve, Billy and Becky welcome back Shane McMahon beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at Squatch Detective Radio, Monday nights at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central

Hannity's America Segment on the Honey Island Swamp Monster

Classic Bigfoot Cases

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 21st, 2008

Take a break from the claims of a Bigfoot body and the repeating eBay auctions for a “Bigfoot hunter,” to stop for a moment to view part of this old documentary. Image. Video

An article in this Schenectady, NY, newspaper prompted this op-ed piece by UFO skeptic Peter Huston. Key quote: "After 60 years plus..., ufologists still have not assembled enough evidence...to obtain a decent government grant, prepare a satisfying exhibit in a reputable museum or provide a single, solid chapter in a legitimate school science textbook." Meanwhile, the NZ Skeptics Society is getting ready to kick off its annual conference, bringing forth the New Zealand group's prediction UFOs to Hit Hamilton! Elsewhere, after reporting a few days ago about a summer camp in Alabama teaching children skepticism, we find much the same thing in a camp near Buffalo, NY, where the national Director of the Council for Secular Humanism became part of the act when Camp Inquiry Encourages Children's Skeptical Side. Those distant thumps you're hearing may be the sudden closings of little minds.

E-Mail I sent to Sean Hannity on his report from last night

First of all, Sean, you are a great American. Second of all, I watched your recent report on the Honey Island Swamp Monster with great interest, being a longtime enthusiast of hairy hominids such as Bigfoot or Sasquatch, the Yeti or Abominable Snowman and the Australian Yowie. Usually, I am used to seeing the media at large (and unfortunately, sometimes, Fox News as well) ridicule and mock Bigfoot and the folks who research those hairy hominids. Your report on the Honey Island Swamp Monster had none of that mockery or ridicule, and was quite well-balanced and objective. I want to thank you for treating the subject with respect, and it would be great to see you do a segment on hairy hominids once in a while. One person I can recommend is Dr. Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomical anthropology at Idaho State University in Pocatello, who wrote an excellent book called Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. Another is Dr. John Bindernagel, a retired wildlife biologist who wrote another excellent book titled North America's Great Ape: The Sasquatch. Those two are very credible individuals, and have a good deal of experience in studying these mystery hominids. Anyway, great segment on the Honey Island Swamp Monster, and keep up the good work. God bless.

Fox News had a segment on The Honey Island Swamp Monster Tonight...

...and it was actually fair to the subject. It was on Hannity's America, and Dana Holyfield was interviewed to give her impressions on the unusual hairy hominid. Her husband was also interviewed, as well as some local residents who have seen something down there in the swamps of the Sportsman's Paradise. It was a fair and balanced 5-minute segment. Kudos to Fox News for actually treating the subject with objectivity and balance.

Review: The Bigfoot Mystery 7-20-08

This was a pretty terrific show, with Marc Footery returning to share more stories of sightings and activity he has experienced, especially in his younger years. He discussed about hearing sounds similar to donkeys and crows and also other mimicry going on with the Forest Giants, as well as sightings he has had in his area. Jim (Dixie Banshee) called in and asked Marc some questions, as well as Thomas and one other individual. Next week, Pat Rance and Jim Grant will be the guests, beginning at 7:00 EST/6:00 Central at The Bigfoot Mystery, Sunday evenings at 7:00 EST/6:00 Central

Editorial: What are The Best Bigfoot Documentaries?

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, Scott Herriott 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/Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt For Bigfoot/Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science/Squatching/Journey Toward Squatchdom
2. Bigfoot: Man Or Beast?/Bigfooting In Oklahoma/Shaawanoki/Mystery of The Sasquatch Triangle
3. 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.

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.


Cryptozoologist, author and lecturer Loren Coleman is in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, to lecture tomorrow at the Royal Alberta Museum. That calls for revisiting the 2005 case in which Bigfoot sightings in the Yukon were followed by discovery of some "Sasquatch hair" that would be submitted for analysis. What were the end results? With photos. Elsewhere, Coleman notes the boxoffice smash The Dark Knight, examining some actual reports of batlike humanoid figures in The Real Batman, and revisits that Colorado felid hunt in Was It an African Lion?

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.

Review: The Sasquatch Triangle 7-17-08

This was a pretty terrific show, with guest Steve "Indy" Pickett, who discussed his upcoming Squatch Fest event this weekend, as well as his research and organization and also his sightings and encounters with different pieces of evidence he has come across, such as a twisted turtle shell. I called in and wished Indy luck on the event this weekend, as well as plugging his Gettysburg battlefield photos. He also discussed some other things and aspects of his sightings. He also fielded questions from the chatroom as well. Next Thursday, Don will have the Foot-Trackers themselves, Terry and Treba Jahn, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at The Sasquatch Triangle, Now On NowLive.com

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?
Loren Coleman delved into the identity of TPeterson6969, the eBay name of the big game hunter who is auctioning his services to track Bigfoot or Yeti with a starting bid of $150K. Can anything be deduced from the identity of the man who wants to be paid to hunt Bigfoot? And have there been any bids? Also at Cryptomundo is Loren Coleman's essay entitled When Cryptozoologists Die. What becomes of their collections and how can they be preserved for history?

Review: Bigfoot Live 7-16-08

This was a pretty terrific show, the 100th episode, with guests such as Ed Farrell, an author from Alaska who wrote a new book called Strange Stories of Alaska and the Yukon, who talked about his new book; Mike Riter, an individual who discussed some activity in the Catskills; Bob Kaehler, a Fish and Game Guide who discussed a theory about how to capture the Forest Giants, Roy Sandefeur, who told a most extraordinary story about an encounter with a Forest Giant which made a good deal of racket in the woods, as well as frightened him; the SFBI team, who called in to report some very interesting activity they had in different states, including East Tennessee and Alabama and finally, Janice Carter and myself, to discuss my experiences in East Tennessee and also in Ohio. Dunno what is planned for next week, but it should be most interesting, beginning at 10:00 EST/9:00 Central at http___www.gstreaming.com_bigfootlive.html

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.
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?
