Eric will be broadcasting live from Salt Fork State Park from the Meet and Greet at the 21st-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference/Expo, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. Plus, Scott Hackenslash will be dropping by to give his Movie News and Reviews. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Spider "Resurrections" Take Scientists by Surprise National Geographic News
From today's offerings of maverick science: Scientists wondered about the underwater abilities of spiders. So, in an experiment reminiscent of the old parlor trick of drowning and reviving a fly, scientists drowned some spiders and watched them come back to life. Meanwhile, there's a report indicating scientists know the age of our closest star, seen in Dust Older Than the Sun Found in Earth's Atmosphere. Elsewhere, at TPOD, Stephen Smith points out some interesting characteristics presented by a Hubble Space Telescope image of The Sombrero Galaxy. Are we looking at a heavenly representation of Michael Faraday's homopolar motor?
The Fairy Thief of the Wilderness The Paranormal Pastor
Pastor Robin Swope, a former missionary himself, relates a tale told by an American missionary who served with her husband in the jungles of northern Thailand. With the caveat offered by the good pastor, "Sometimes odd things happen when you are hundreds of miles away from civilization", here is Mrs. Johnson's tale of the Naang Maai Paa, "the little fairy of the wild forest." Compare Mrs. Johnson's tale to the report Nick Redfern leads us to through his Man-Beast U.K. blog, Police Launch Hunt for 'Wolfman' Behind Mini Crimewave Who Lives on Rabbits and Berries in Woods.
It's Plainly Obvious That It Is All in Your Mind The Blogsquatcher
A review of the press releases of two books, Michael McLeod's Anatomy of a Beast: Obsession and Myth on the trail of Bigfoot and Buhs' Bigfoot: The Life and Times of a Legend, takes on the premise put forth by both authors that indicates the Bigfoot phenomenon is the product of something other than true observation. Meanwhile, at Cryptozoology Online, guest blogger Neil Arnold reports on a Rhode Island case in which fishermen dredged up The Block Ness Monster; and Jon Downes handles the duties in presenting the 26-minute video of the May, 2009, Centre for Fortean Zoology production of On the Track of Unknown Animals.

Leaving Tomorrow Night...
I will be getting on a bus here in Cleveland (MS) then heading for Old Washington, Ohio. I am hoping to catch a bus at 9:30 Central time and arriving in Old Washington at 10:45 A.M. Friday or thereabouts. Thanks to Don Keating, I have transportation from Old Washington to Salt Fork. I will be blogging tomorrow, but it might be spotty as far as how much blogging I will be doing during the weekend or early next week. If I can, I will do some blogging, but if not, then I will be back sometime Tuesday. So, I will see you all probably next week sometime.
2 Days till the 21st-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference/Expo!!!
Review: The Sasquatch Triangle/Monsterquest 4-29-09
The ST was great, with kind of an open-mic atmosphere as Don welcomed several callers, including Josh from Southwestern Ohio, Eric Altman and myself, but also got some prank callers who tried to ruin the flow of the show, but were unsuccessful. Don was essentially plugging the Conference and giving last-minute dissertations on the Conference. Dunno what Don has planned for next week (probably a recap of the Conference) but it begins at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

On Monsterquest, the main focus was what is known as "water apes", Sasquatch on Vancouver Island, which examines the possibility of these creatures swimming from Vancouver Island to the mainland of British Columbia. Several well-known Sasquatch personalities are featured on this episode, such as Dr. John Bindernagel, who lives on the island who gives his assessments of the sightings and the history. Thomas Steenburg and Richard Noll team up to search for evidence on the island. A wildlife biologist talks about his skeptical bent on whether or not such creatures could survive on the island; he also shows a rather interesting video of bears swimming in the Pacific from the island to the mainland, as well as showing apes swimming such as orangutans and monkeys, which somewhat negates the old myth that apes can't swim. Bindernagel is joined by a forensic podiatrist from the U.S. who examines his track casts and is rather open-minded about the possibility of them being from an unknown primate. Noll and Steenburg use different methods to attract some Sasquatch to in front of cameras, such as using fresh clams which the Sasquatch is known to eat. There is also a sighting recounted from 1901 in which a man was going to shoot a Sasquatch which was drinking from a stream because he thought it to be a bear, but when it stood upright, he changed his mind. Several encounters are recounted and witnesses interviewed, more methods of attracting Sasquatch are employed and the results are...well, I won't spoil it for you. A really good episode, I would give it a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Next week is a sequel to a Season 1 episode, titled Gigantic Killer Fish II, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central on History. Check local listings for time and channel.

In the maverick science corner: Comparative mythologist Rens Van der Sluijs notes the similarity between the enormous "space tornadoes" detected by the five THEMIS satellites and what primitive man witnessed, often referred to as the "axis mundi," a column of twisting, morphing light connecting the Earth to the heavens. Elsewhere, Stephen Smith reports on observations made by the Cassini space probe of immense hurricanes visiting their fury through the atmosphere of an enigmatic gas giant in Saturn's Raging Storms. Are the Saturnian hurricanes an electrical phenomenon?
The Quaintness of Qatar Creatures Cryptomundo
The recent release of images purporting to be a strange creature filmed in Qatar sparked Loren Coleman's search for the truth. Here Coleman reveals the origins of those images and presents another Qatar photographic mystery from the past. With multiple images. Meanwhile, Cryptozoology Online is offering video from the Centre for Fortean Zoology Australian chapter, entitled The Radium Hill Tiger. Elsewhere, The Blogsquatcher is seeking information about about some footage in Video: Bigfoot in Colorado.

MonsterQuest : Mysterious Ape Island Airs on Wednesday April 29 09:00 PM EST/8:00 Central on History.
In the Pacific Northwest, a small island may hold the clue to unravelling the mystery of the legendary Sasquatch. Vancouver Island is a densely forested land mass located about 70 miles northwest of Seattle, Washington. The island is separated from Canada's mainland by water and is a popular destination for hikers, hunters and possibly something frightening and mysterious. Natives told tales to their children of an ape-like beast to be feared that would steal them should they venture into the forest. More than just stories of a bogeyman, recent witnesses tell equally terrifying stories of a monster that attacks as they sleep and is seen devouring fish on the coastline. Now our expedition team follows up these reports, launches their own hunt and finds that recent scientific discoveries of swimming apes could lead them to their most astounding discovery yet. Check local listings for time and channel.
Review: Bigfoot Quest 4-28-09
This was a pretty intense and interesting show, with guest Doug Bilby (Bulletmaker) who discussed his research and his alleged encounters which he claims to have had multiple ones of on his property in Oklahoma. He discussed a good bit about his alleged encounters and his alleged interaction with Sasquatch creatures. Smiter called in and discussed his alleged encounters and also got into a bit of a spirited discussion with Doug and the hosts of the show. Dunno what Bob and Mike have planned for next week, but it begins at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
The Legend of Vandalia Cemetery From the Shadows
Jason Offutt, author of Darkness Walks: The Shadow People Among Us, relates the experiences of Tammy Helton during a ghost hunting expedition to a Porterville, CA, cemetery. Did Helton and her companions have a run-in with a shadow person? Meanwhile, another California location proves paranormally active for Paul Dale Roberts and a team of intrepid ghost hunters, as explained with text and photos in A Haunting in San Mateo. Includes video of "A Haunting in Arnold" investigation. Elsewhere, Bruce Duensing takes on the theory that ghosts can be intelligent while lacking consciousness in The Non Sentient Intelligence of Ghosts.
Whatever Happened to Bigfoot? NWA News
In October of 2003, the town of Decatur in Benton County, Arkansas, began to see Bigfoot. At least many citizens thought it was Bigfoot. Did Bigfoot visit Decatur in the Fall of 2003, or was a baboon on the loose? Cryptomundo has some interesting background on the town in Decatur's Bigfoot and Kin. Meanwhile, the pairing of two phenomena draws the attention of The Blogsquatcher in Bigfoot and UFOs: Pennsylvania 1973-74. Elsewhere, back at Cryptomundo, Loren Coleman thinks forewarned is forearmed and makes sure you know about the latest antics of the crew who gave us last summer's "Georgia Bigfoot Hoax," posting the particulars in the appropriately titled The Jerks Are Back! And on an entirely different note, Cryptozoology Online offers guest blogger Richard Freeman's review of a classic book of a cryptozoological nature in Strange Snakes and Freaky Fauna from Charles Owen's An Essay Towards a Natural History of Serpents (1742) Part Five Dragons.

Review: Sasquatch Watch Radio 4-27-09
This was a really terrific show, with guest Dave from Kentucky, who told a very credible and interesting sighting. He also discussed some things that surrounded the sighting. He was actually calling from the hospital, interestingly enough. Several folks called in, including Indy, Bill Green, Dan G. and a lady who I did not identify. Next week, Billy and DB will be reviewing the 21st-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Mike gives his thoughts on the "Mayaka Skunk Ape"
A call to Pennsylvania UFOlogist Stan Gordon on August 7, 1973, a time when the state was experiencing a rash of UFO sightings that had Gordon and authorities baffled, added another wrinkle to an already burgeoning caseload of the unexplained. What was looking in a bathroom window that was eight feet above the ground? Bigfoot joins the UFO parade in this third instalment of Roger Marsh's "Paranormal Pennsylvania" reports. With images. Elsewhere, The Blogsquatcher offers some classic Bigfoot video and a side trip to an Austrian news item ("It's hard to find an intelligent creature that doesn't want to be found.") to fill in the hours while you wait for Tonight on Sasquatch Watch Radio: Dave in KY.
South American Mystery Beasts Part One ShukerNature
Dr. Karl Shuker begins a two-part series on mysterious animals from a mysterious continent. Included in this initial report are gargantuan anacondas, an elusive Andean wolf and a subterranean creature that may be the source of some relatively massive earth movements. Elsewhere, at Cryptozoology Online, Richard Freeman turns his attention to South America, too, in Giant Snakes and Goblins in Ecuador, but, at Cryptomundo, Loren Coleman trains his sights on North America to review a television premiere in Carny: The Jersey Devil. With short video. Meanwhile, at Cabinet of Wonders, the attention is on Asia in Giant Spiders Invade Japan. "(W)here is Godzilla when you need him?" With videos.

Review: Bigfoot Outlaw Radio 4-26-09
Pretty terrific show, with folks on the line such as Kelly, Chad Scott (Ghostwolf), Matt Knapp and Dan Ricke. Just essentially a call-in/roundtable show where several topics were discussed, including myself, talking about the Ohio Conference and also the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up and also about this Wednesday's Monsterquest episode. Bill called in and asked his standard question and also again brought up the Georgia Hoax (which some of us do wish he would move on from, but he is not the only one who needs to move on from it). One very interesting topic that was brought up in the second hour was the correlation of sightings to cemeteries, a topic that was brought up. Also, ways to attract a Sasquatch were discussed using musical instruments, such as flutes and even drums. Dunno what these folks have planned for next week, but it begins at 8:00 EST/7:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Paranormal Posting Prompts Predicted Perdition The Blogsquatcher
A column posted last week by Nick Redfern at Mania.com: Lair of the Beasts, drew heavy criticism from some corners. Redfern responded to the criticism this week with Bigfoot Fundamentalists: Burn, Nick, Burn! Now Redfern's thoughts on the possible paranormal nature of the Bigfoot phenomenon get some respect in this piece that points out some Bigfoot traits that certainly seem to point to the paranormal. Meanwhile, Loren Coleman, at Cryptomundo, reminds you next weekend is the date for Keating's Ohio Bigfoot EXPO and laments the impact of the economic downturn on a wildlife icon in Bronx Zoo Says Bye-Bye to Non-Celebs.

Review: G. I. Joe: Resolute
This ain't your father's G. I. Joe!!!
This originally premiered on line as a series of webisodes, and it really is a great series which shows a different G. I. Joe then we have seen previously in animation. It premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim last night. The story centers around the G. I. Joe team, led by Duke, battling the evil forces of Cobra, but there is a twist to this show-people actually die, and real bullets are shot from real guns. Snake-Eyes, the popular G. I. Joe commando/Ninja actually slices Cobra troopers like confetti, and people do actually get hit with bullets. It begins with a certain member of Cobra personnel who is found dead inside the Washington Memorial in the Nation's Capital, stabbed and gutted by the evil Cobra Commander, who has a particle weapon which he uses to level Moscow as a demonstration of what will happen if the world is not turned over to him within 24 hours. The team mobilizes, with Snake-Eyes going to Japan and confronting his old fellow Martial-Arts student and former best friend Cobra Ninja Storm Shadow, and Duke and Scarlett going to Siberia to attempt to shut down the particle weapon. Another strike team goes to another location (Roadblock, Gung-Ho, Beach Head and Stalker), where they confront Destro and the Baroness to free some hostages. I will not give away too much more, but I really enjoyed this show, very well-done. It was more adult, with some strong language and some violence, prompting a TV-14 rating, and it is not really for kids under the age of 13. But us children of the '80's really appreciate this terrific show. Hope this turns into a regular series and not just a one-off. I give this a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
