Update: Mothman Sighting - Middletown, Ohio Phantoms & Monsters
Following up on a set of emails reported yesterday from somewhere along the Ohio River, believed to be Cincinatti, Lon Strickler reveals more email contact with two ladies who may be having a Mothman experience. The first of the two friends to report says they live closer to Middletown, OH, and gives details of what happened after her first encounter with the creature. Strickler also presents other reports of a Mothman-type creature from Ohio and promises more information on the current reports as the witnesses continue contact. Strickler focuses attention on another cryptid today, too, in a comprehensive report of a cryptid flap that struck a South American nation at the turn of the century, detailed in The Chile Chupacabras Attacks - Spring 2000, with many different illustrations of the elusive monster.

Coleman Helps "Definitive Guide" Cryptomundo
Loren Coleman, co-author with Mark A. Hall of True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive?, details his assistance to a program that debuts tonight on The History Channel and Discovery Canada, "Bigfoot: The Definitive Guide," with world class experts such as Dr. Jeff Meldrum assisting in assembling information for a "global survey of the so-called 'Bigfoot phenomenon'." And Coleman has recommendations for how to pass the time during the blizzard conditions across much of the U.S., including watching the Bigfoot program and reading his books, in Monster Storm Closes CZ Museum For Two Days. Elsewhere, Nick Redfern makes certain everyone knows there are more hairy hominoids to be reported than just Bigfoot and the Yeti as he reveals a story from Russia in Lair of the Beasts: A World War Two Monster. Meanwhile, a 1975 shooting of a 160-pound cat in Paraguay that exhibited some strange dentition has Glen Vaudrey speculating on whether the animal was a "mutant jaguar" or a remnant Smilodon, as you'll see in I'd Go the Whole Wide World #4, and more animals no longer with us are included in one we missed two weeks ago, Five Extinct Animals That Would Be Way Cooler to Clone Than a Woolly Mammoth. Also, a fairly fledgling blog effort from the Land Down Under comes in for some well-deserved praise in Website Rates CFZ Australia a Top Read.

Giant Toads and South American Sasquatches? ShukerNature
Dr. Karl Shuker reveals the interest of the discoverer of the giant Colombian toad, Bufo blombergi, in native tales of a man-beast feared by native tribes of Ecuador and dubbed the "sacharuna." The creature is reported to "kidnap humans, thereby calling to mind various comparable claims for North America's sasquatch or bigfoot." Shuker includes tales of sacharuna research by the Swedish explorer, photographer, writer and giant toad discoverer Rolf Blomberg, who died in 1996, and some of Blomberg's associates. Elsewhere, another "man-beast" occupies the report from a Golden State newspaper story from the 19th century unearthed by Richard Muirhead in A California Wildman from the 1880s, and the latest instalment of a popular video feature of the Centre for Fortean Zoology is announced in On the Track (of Unknown Animals).

True Giants: 1937 Cryptomundo
Loren Coleman presents information from a 1937 Autralian newspaper the may have bearing on the subject of the new book he and Mark A. Hall released in December, True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive? Coleman remarks, "The basis of this article seems to be one T. C. Bridges. Bridges was a writer who penned what we would call cryptofiction today, as well as some factual accounts of high adventure." Did T. C. Bridges have access to accounts of giant hominoids like those reported in their new book by Coleman and Hall? Meanwhile, giants are mentioned in a report about a recent Italian symposium that covered more strangeness than just the cryptozoological, as seen in Andrew Collins' Seeking Sardinian Mysteries.
