Champ Crunch Cryptomundo

"The mystery remains," says Loren, "but the answer may be a mundane one." Elsewhere on Cryptomundo, Thermal Baby Blobsquatch, Comoros Crash, and Blue House Sparrow of Oz.

Monterey's Bart Cutino Sets Sights on Bigfoot Monterey Herald

A member of the BFRO describes his run-in with the legendary hominoid of Northwest and beyond. An avid investigator of the elusive wood ape, Bart Cutino was convinced of its existence the night he saw a large, humanoid shape acknowledge his presence as seen through a thermal imaging camera a mere few feet away. Although several Monterey residents have reported sightings over the years, Cutino was skeptical until that fateful night: "I just couldn't believe it was happening." And neither does most of science. But that won't deter him from spending another 200 nights out in the forest looking for a sign... and even better, irrefutable proof of the shy species.
