2011 The Bluff Creek Film Site Project Videos Part 1 and 2



Recently, Rob Morphy reported on The Gargoyles of Chile and Lon Strickler released Winged Enigma. These incidents of winged weirdness are reprinted by Dale Drinnon with some exciting claims for the creatures Morphy and Strickler describe. And Drinnon follows his recent report on Canadian lake monsters at CFZ-Canada with more on the subject in UPDATE. Elsewhere, the first 2012 episode of Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot" that airs tomorrow night gets a review by Neil Genzlinger in Be Wary of Bobo, Sasquatch. And Loren Coleman, who joins a passel of other resolute folks to give his International Cryptozoology Museum's lengthy 2012 "to-do" list in New Year's Resolutions has a listing of the Top Ten Cryptozoology Stories of 2011. Does Coleman's list include Paul Dale Roberts' Interview with Bob Montana, Carmichael Resident: Sighting of a Wetlash or the oddly disturbing footage that shows a Meat-eating Panda Caught on Camera?

The Bigfoot Project Game: Help Bigfoot Fight Back!



"Right This Minute" Interview



2011 has been the year of the Sasquatch, full of documentaries, discoveries and expeditions which ranged far and wide across our planet. Much of the recent focus has been in Russia, so you may not be surprised that the video Micah Hanks presents has made the rounds on the internet. Hanks' presentation shows he knows the event was either a hoax or a misunderstanding exacerbated by the language barrier, as revealed in Proof of Bigfoot? Not Yeti. More reliable, but still hazy information about a possible Sasquatch comes from the Mutual UFO Network where a witness told of an encounter on a dark residential street December 28 that lasted only a few seconds, as described in Bigfoot in Kentucky? Witness reports '7-foot-tall Man-like Creature'. Elsewhere, 1961 evidence of birds acting badly in Monterey Bay, CA, supposedly led to a famous motion picture that probably gained more from Daphne du Maurier's 1952 classic novelette, The Birds, adapted into a chilling radio dramatization on Lux Radio Theater on July 20, 1953, than it did the incidents in California. But what drove the California birds to act like kamikazes? Scientists think they know, and their answer can be found in Hitchcock's Birds Mystery Solved.

Conflicting Reports on Russian Yeti Capture



Cordelia Hebblethwaite brings forth commentary from Adam Davies, cryptozoologist and author of Extreme Expeditions: Travel Adventures Stalking The World's Mystery Animals, who has twice journeyed to the Congo in search of the beast the pygmies say resembles illustrations of a large dinosaur. Dr. Roy Mackal also led two expeditions into the swamps around Congo's Lake Tele in the 1980s searching for the mysterious beast. Davies calls the region a vast utopia as he speaks in the short video portion of the report, and Dr. Mackal is quoted on his belief the creature is real. Could the Mokele-mbembe be hiding in this large wilderness, mostly unexplored by scientists? Elsewhere, a new book on England's out-of-place large felines makes claims of a cover-up of the existence of the potentially dangerous creatures, as explained in the report MoD ‘Hid Big Cat Sightings’. The claim is in Rick Minter's new book Big Cats: Facing Britain's Wild Predators where Minter claims the British Ministry of Defence has taken such an interest in reports of the large cats that an element of the Royal Air Force has acquired the carcass of such a beast found dead on the roadside and keeps the cadaver on ice. Meanwhile, a large feline predator, declared extinct in 1994, may still be prowling the extensive wilds of Indonesia, as noted in Search for the Javan Tiger.

Bigfoot Eyewitness Interview in NY



This cryptozoological artifact has enjoyed quite a journey from the distant Himalayas to London. A little deception and a lot of discovery, along with some help from a Hollywood icon, are part of its colorful history, and Loren Coleman clues you into some hidden facts about the artifact and reveals the results of DNA testing. Do the results end speculation about the Yeti finger and the creature, in general? The answer appears to be a resounding negative, as Coleman, author of the 1989 book Tom Slick and the Search for the Yeti which covered the story of the Pangboche hand, goes on to ask the question that could profoundly affect all hominology DNA sequencing: Pangboche Yeti Finger In Context: What Does Human Mean? Elsewhere, another hairy biped, one that roams the forests and swamps of North America, is helping a group of researchers stay gainfully employed, as described by Bibi Nurshuhada Ramli in the report In Search of Bigfoot. And a guest blogger takes over the keyboard at CFZ-Canada to tell how a motion picture about Bigfoot that mentioned its powerful stench warped a little boy's paranormal future and left him pursuing ghosts, as outlined in My Name is Matthew, and I Blame Minden, Ontario for My Fear of Sasquatch. Also, a nine-year-old sighting of what is arguably the world's most famous cryptid has been lingering below the radar until now when Roland Watson, author of The Water Horses of Loch Ness, unveils the comments of a respected angler and naturalist, Tim Richardson, in Nessie Sighting from 2002. And a translated German cryptozoology site has the history of a creature washed ashore in New Jersey ninety years ago and still much discussed among sea serpent afficionados, revealed in Cape May-Globster 1921.

Finding Bigfoot - NY Town Hall Meeting



Dale Drinnon uses some archived materials in establishing the description of a mysterious beast reported from many locations around the world, including along the Mississippi River, in Texas, in the Florida Everglades and, possibly, in Nebraska. Drinnon believes a real creature is involved in the sightings. Meanwhile, the bipedal cryptid that's America's favorite makes the news on three fronts, today, starting with a report from Lana Berkowitz that calls on the voices of cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard, Idaho State University professor Jeffrey Meldrum, anthropology professor Vaughn M. Bryant of Texas A&M University and the author of The Beast of Boggy Creek: True Story of the Fouke Monster, Lyle Blackburn, in Searching for Bigfoot in Texas. Then Lon Strickler presents a compendium of reports in Bigfoot From Yesteryear: The Sobby Savage -- Cohomo Monster -- Winsted Wildman, followed by Loren Coleman's presentation of television and motion picture footage in Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner?.

Dale Drinnon serves up a wide examination of the types of creatures said to have been sighted in the many inland bodies of water of North America and along the continent's marine shorelines. Serving as the guest blogger for the Canadian Fortean research group, Drinnon makes some keen observations about the differences between the creatures seen along the coasts, including waterways close to the coasts, and those spotted well inland, offering many images. One of North America's most famous inland waterway cryptids is featured in new video Loren Coleman reveals, along with some excellent commentary, in Button Bay Bobber: New Champ Video? And Coleman has a compilation of television and motion picture footage addressing those large, hairy bipeds stalking the wilds - and a few suburban neighborhoods - in Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner? The case for unknown hominids in the wild is also featured in Lon Strickler's reminiscence about his own involvement in the 1973 search for The 'Sykesville Monster'. Also, the search for the wildman has occasionally led to the launch of emergency rescue missions. Consider the claims of Canadian Bigfoot hunter Todd Standing from the report Reality Turned Into Cliff Hanger.

Just before Thanksgiving, two women headed to North Carolina say they spotted North America's favorite cryptid in West Virginia. Terri Bessler and Crystal Krieger say they sighted the creature heading up into the wooded mountains. So, would the Bessler/Krieger sighting involve the Eastern Bigfoot? Dale Drinnon has all you need to know about the Eastern Bigfoot, the possibility of relic populations of the Neandertal, the Almas of Eastern Europe, the Minnesota Ice Man and lots more, all dutifully illustrated, in Alexandr Fedenyow and The Face of Almasty is The Face Of the Eastern Bigfoot. And that leads to what's going on in the realm of television searches for the huge, hairy hominid, revealed by Oliver M. Pulumbarit in Still Unraveling the 'Bigfoot' Enigma. As an added treat, we'll throw in some natural history filmed by Thomas Shahan and posted by Greg Taylor at The Daily Grail as Aliens on Earth: The Arthropods.

Janet Winikoff starts off with a look at the Memorial Day experiences of some Bigfoot searchers in California - a video of the Sanger Paranormal Society's claims of Bigfoot evidence from the foray is included - before going on to document the responses, pro and con, concerning the possibility Bigfoot is real. Winikoff winds up citing the remarks of two heavyweights in the field of primate research, Jane Goodall and Dr. Jeff Melgrum. Dr. Melgrum was recently interviewed on a National Public Radio outlet, KUER and its "Radio West" program, and his responses were criticized by Brian Switek in an article entitled "The Squid and the Ape." The hour-long interview and an excerpt from Switek's critique can be found in Meldrum is Interviewed by NPR and is Criticized by Wired Magazine. Meanwhile, the Australian version of Bigfoot is back in the news, beginning with Revisiting the Mt George Yowie, a replay of an incident that was inspired by law enforcement claims Yowie May Have Been 'Most Wanted' Fugitive. Elsewhere, Roland Watson, author of The Water Horses of Loch Ness, continues to keep a close eye on events on the Scottish lake, like the September photography offered by fish farm worker Jon Rowe, with Watson's latest offering on the photography and the legendary beast of Loch Ness appearing in Final Thoughts on the Jon Rowe Photograph.

Strange Flying Creature Live Pterosaur
Jonathan Whitcomb has been chronicling reports of pterosaur-like creatures in the skies from various spots around the world. The latest report is from a few weeks ago, according to Whitcomb, and comes from Pennsylvania. Like some reports Whitcomb has chronicled from New Guinea, the creature described by Whitcomb's Pennsylvania correspondent appeared to feature "bioluminescence," making the woman who reported it "one of the few eyewitnesses who have reported both a form of an apparent living pterosaur and a glow coming from the creature." Elsewhere, another primitive creature that appears to fit the description of encounters some have reported in the United States, the Caribbean islands and South America draws the attention of Dale Drinnon and a correspondent, with incidents and observations assembled in the accounts of Appalachian Groundsloths, and Others Southwards. Meanwhile, something is roiling what should be peaceful waters in England and dining on full-grown swans, leading to the report of the 'Olympic Monster' Lurking In Waters By London 2012 Site, which may have absolutely nothing to do with the tales Richard Muirhead has dredged up from the Victorian Era archives and presents in Cheshire Devil Fish and Eels in a Devon Pipe.

The rest of the title of Chris Parker's review of dragons as dinosaurs is "How Evolutionary Science Hides Historical Man and Dinosaur Interaction in Plain Sight", which is certain to cause agitation for a large portion of the citizenry. Parker offers numerous photos and illustrations comparing dragon images to dinosaur representations in what he refers to as "cryptozoological historical archaeology," and he indicates the subject is so broad he may offer a second and third part to this study he says shows dinosaurs survived alongside man into the dates of the ancient historical record. Meanwhile, Dale Drinnon has been analyzing tales of the Latino cryptid that has morphed through local lore into a canid in some quarters but should, perhaps be centered on a flying mammal, as detailed in CHUPACABRAS @ 2000 AD: What We Knew Back Then and ChupaBats, SuperBats with numerous illustrations throughout.
