More evidence is bubbling to the surface on the
existence of Nessie. Martin Atkinson caught something on his sonar,
garnering first prize in the Best Nessie Sighting of The Year. Lawrence
Conway has several photos with commentary from a scientist holding a
different opinion of the evidence. Fortunately Glasgow Boy goes a little
more in-depth, pardon the pun, with More On The Recent Sonar Sighting.
He helpfully knocks the wind out of Simon Boxall's sails by debunking
the algae bloom theory. Still no one knows for certain if lake monsters
are living fossils or something entirely different. Regardless of their
nature, these beasts are markedly persistent. The same couldn't be said
for one lamented marsupial. Some researchers have announced the Tasmanian Tiger Was Genetically Doomed.
Scientists from the University of Connecticut have compared thylacine
samples, suggesting the beast's gene pool was far more shallow than
could be expected of a diverse and vigorous population. Joining our gay
menagerie are a pair of stories which show that Cougar Sightings Reach Fever Pitch
in Essex County. Despite numerous, credible sightings, not to mention
hard evidence of tracks, scat, and photos, officials aren't so certain
about the cat's return. Click on over to see if the Essex County Cougar Finally Caught On Camera. Jim Dufour caught something on film, and as Trevor Wilhelm writes, it was larger than the average housecat.

New Footage: This 4-Wheeler Bigfoot Video Is So 'Real', You Won't Believe It
When Theresa Ann Bier vanished 25 years ago, the prime
suspect pointed his finger squarely at bigfoot. Vicki W. gives an
overview of the police investigation into the matter, with a
sideline into Native American mythology that may dovetail with the
accusation. Both suspects remain at large. One blogger who wouldn't be
happy about such revelations is Joe Squatch. From the forests along
the Canadian border, the internet's only known sasquatch blogger gives
the inside track on Sasquatch, Logging And The Government. A
conspiracy is afoot to keep hairy homonids under wraps. Joe spells
things out so even a kindergartener can understand these shadowy
machinations. If that's not enough to whet your appetite, Glasgow Boy
has A Story About Ted Holiday. Ronnie Bremner
shares a humorous anecdote about the eccentric lake monster hunter,
who took his calling quite seriously.

Stone Giants: Stoneclad Eastern Bigfoot Cryptomundo
Grover Krantz was in many ways a giant in the
field of Bigfoot studies. But Loren Coleman thinks that his sometimes
quickly stated theories need to be questioned. Apparently Krantz’s bias
against Eastern Bigfoot reports colored his notion of what was behind
the sightings of “Stone Giants” or “Stone Clads” in Eastern North
America. Elsewhere, you can "test your knowledge of the weird and
wonderful creatures of cryptozoology" by taking the Bigfoot, Nessie & the Kraken: Cryptozoology Quiz.
But what you'll really be doing is testing your knowledge of debunking
cryptozoology rather than about the creatures themselves. If you want
to get out of the armchair, you might consider Howls at nothing: Hunting bigfoot.
It seems the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization is offering
tag-alongs on research expeditions to suspected bigfoot habitats across
North America. The trips typically last four days and cost between $300
and $500, not including airfare, camping equipment or food. And in The Beasts of London, Nick Redfern calls our attention to a review of the Londonist’s review of Neil Arnold’s latest book, Mystery Animals of the British Isles: London,
which they say “…is teeming with preternatural animals, from exotic
big cats to winged abominations straight out of folklore....There’s
plenty of fascinating stuff in here...[But] Arnold maintains a sceptical
though enquiring mind throughout.”

Hand Clapping Behavior in Gorillas North American Bigfoot
Cliff Barackman wonders if the recent discovery
of hand clapping in gorillas could possibly be related to "tree
knocking" observed in areas where Bigfoot has been sighted. Gorillas
clap their hands to get attention, and Barackman ties this in with
Bigfoot doing the same, perhaps as a warning there are humans in the
area. We wonder how this recent report revealing that Baboons' word choices a key to human language ability
might be related as well. Yes, you read that right--baboons can
apparently read, and it is not through mere memorization because the
primates are picking out real words from gibberish. Hmm, perhaps Bigfoot
hunters should start leaving out issues of Fortean Times along
with the pancakes? While we wait for a scholarly tree-knocking, hand
clapping Sasquatch to appear, believers and skeptics once again battle
it out, this time in Michigan: This Just In with Justin: Bigfoot believers, skeptics hope science solves legend's mystery.

10 Most Active Bigfoot Sites in North America Top Secret Writers
Ryan Dube presents a rundown of the most active sites in the United
States for Bigfoot sightings. The #1 state is Washington, with an
overwhelming amount of sightings. Coming in at a close 2nd and 3rd are
California and Ohio. Dube points out that almost all the sightings in
Washington state are alongside major water sources suggesting that
Bigfoot population density is particularly high in this are. Other
well-populated areas include national parks throughout the continental
US. Over on Cryptomundo, the focus continues on the Shipton footprint
cast and now Jeff Meldrum's interpretation has been added to the mix as Meldrum Rethinks the Shipton & Cronin Yeti Tracks
. After flipping and adjusting for snow melting, Meldrum came up
with a new version of the Shipton print which very closely matches the
print of a known primate. While the results are impressive and
convincing, we simply wish that Yeti would make another appearance and
leave some clearer prints in the snow, and perhaps even some hair
samples. Meanwhile, Glasglow Boy set out on a hunt for Nessie and gives
us an entertaining play-by-play of his entire trip. His Loch Ness Trip Report April 2012
does not result in any sightings of good old Nessie but is
interesting nonetheless. Karl Shuker reveals an entirely different sort
of cryptid, A Sea Snail With Antlers...And Paws!
a mysterious deep sea creature that has been mentioned in centuries-old books and has not been spotted in modern times.

What is Nessie Really? Frontiers of Zoology
Dale Drinnon presents a lengthy and very
detailed examination of Nessie, both historical and modern, in an
attempt to categorize the elusive monster. He calls on older studies
including the "string of bouys" appearance reported in water monster
sightings world-wide. Josh Brown muses on the nature of Bigfoot as he
gives us Thoughts From The Anthropological Arm-Chair.
He wonders why Bigfoot is consistently able to avoid both physical
capture and, for the most part, being captured on film. Brown also asks
the question we all wonder--if BIgfoot is so talented at avoiding
capture, why does the creature allow itself to be seen? Brown has no
answers but neither do the rest of us and that's what makes Bigfoot so
tantalizing and fascinating. No other cryptid creature gets as much
attention and perhaps we find Bigfoot so alluring because we sense we're
getting a small glimpse into our own distant past. Speaking of the
past, Loren Coleman shares Titanic’s Grimm Link to Cryptozoology
with another look at the life of Jack Grimm (Cadillac Jack), an
eccentric millionaire who spent a lot of his wealth searching for
Bigfoot, Nessie and Titanic.

Thoughts From The Anthropological Arm-Chair
Crowdsourced funding is the new black on the
internet. From video games, to comics, to technology, and now
expeditions to darkest Africa for a documentary. Stephen McCullah is
setting out to find the mystery beasts lurking in its jungles, from the
fantastic to those yet to be discovered, with some awesome spiffs for
investors to this worthy cause. If all goes well, and he does find
mokele mbembe, we're certain Steve's documentary will be the definitive
reference. Speaking of which, Laura Massey has stumbled upon The First Book on the Loch Ness Monster. As you'll discover Rupert Gould's The Loch Ness Monster and Others
is the first, comprehensive, and serious take on the planet's most
famous lake monster. Though the price is steep, Laura provides scans
from this reader-annotated first edition. Another author whose
profligacy and reputation precedes him is Loren Coleman. Today at
Cryptomundo he touches upon the Missouri Mystery Kangaroos,
with the most recent sighting from last Tuesday. Sometimes people see
stuff that's not merely out of place, but simply strange. Lon Strickler
has an emailed account from a Witness: El Chupacabras.
As discovered, these monsters aren't particular when Samuel relates how
he watched a dog get torn apart by Puerto Rico's national cryptid. Lon
follows up with other sightings, and particulars on the beast's behavior
and physiology.
New Footage: Bigfoot Watching Little Girl Near Campsite Bigfoot Evidence
Hairy homonids can be imposing, but one's been
caught being creepy around a little girl. Chuck Prahl has a video of the
incident, and The Crypto Crew has enhanced it to satisfy further
inquiry. Another video has been deconstructed with M.K. Davis Incredible Breakdown Of White Bigfoot, FB/FB Frowns At Davis.
The comments show that FB/FB isn't the only one who disagree with
M.K.'s findings. Next up Vicki W. and SnowWalkerPrime have found a South Carolina Man Detailing His Terrifying 1978 Bigfoot Encounter
during a deer hunt. Mike Richburg recalls the episode's details in an
exclusive video interview. Rounding out these sasquatch stories is young
turk Tyler Stone, bucking the trend that the Minnesota Iceman was Homo erectus with Part 2 of his series Neanderthals, Eastern Bigfoot, and the Minnesota Iceman. He's earned extra credit with his latest installment with solid evidence and peerless academic research.
