Sasquatch Sighting on Vancouver Island?


Even Sasquatch takes a load off every once in awhile and when he does, people notice. When an Ahousaht man caught sight of Sasquatch taking a breather on a log in the Canadian wilderness recently, he was more than a little startled. Fortunately, he returned with other fellow villagers to find footprints that the resting Yeti had so thoughtfully left behind. Photos were taken and the elders of the village simply commented, "We saw what we saw; we'll just leave it alone now." which is quite a refreshing attitude. The First Nations people of Canada have a long history with the Yeti, the existence of whom they have woven into their own mythology: mythologyand legends. Meanwhile, The Professor digs even further in his files and uncovers a rare treat on the subject of linguist and researcher Rinchen Y-Byambyn and the Central Asian Wildmen, including a 1958 article Rinchen wrote detailing the existence of the almass, Mongolia's wildman. Not only did the Mongolians encounter the almass on a regular basis, they also had different names for males and females, considered them a normal part of life and oftentimes a threat which resulted in Almass being shot and killed.

A relaxing family vacation on Lake Champlain in 1977 turned out to be something much more significant as it produced the most well-known photograph of "Champ", the resident lake monster that looks a lot like a plesiosar. The actual photograph itself is on display to the public during the annual ChampFest. It's more than a little ridiculous that there isn't at least a closer look at the famous photo accompanying the article, but it's easily found via our internet overlord Google. Last July, Cryptomundo wished Champ a Happy 35th Anniversary on his appearance in the now iconic photo.



We had our doubts about Cryptozoology News: the stories were just too good to be true. And it reminded us of the old Weekly World News. They simply made up sh-t. Everyone’s favorite skeptic, Sharon Hill, certainly couldn’t believe this either, and discovered that it is indeed a fictional site. Never mind that they admit to being “not always 100% factual.” This business is complicated enough as it is, so just plain stay away.

Bigfoot Living In Detroit Ruins Cryptozoology News
Cryptozoology News brings us a couple of [update: fake!] tales of high strangeness this week, from Bigfoot taking up residence in an abandoned house smack in the middle of Detroit to a Reptilian Humanoid Startles Bikers in the Sonoran Desert as they were en route on the Old Pueblo race course. We're not sure what to make of the Bigfoot squatter but the reptilian in the desert story gives us the creeps. It's not clear who was the most startled, the frightened bikers or the reptilian creature who reportedly scuttled away like a "scared lizard" after being spotted. And last but not least, The Professor takes another glance at his Ivan Sanderson archives and finds some interesting Russian monographs on the subject of wildmen aka the Abomimable Snowman and something called, "SNECHNOMA CHELOUEKE or something like that", as he puts it.

Dr. Raheal Ahmad Siddlqul chronicles his search for the Pakistani version of Bigfoot, the Barmanou. This creature is surrounded by myth and superstition ( even a murder mystery) and is supposedly half ape, half man. Unlike his Western cousins, the Barmanou is sometimes sighted wearing crude clothing made of animal hides...There are dozens of theories as to the origin of Bigfoot and also us humans, but by far one of the most controversial is the aquatic ape idea that surfaces every now and then and persists throughout Bigfoot research. Martin Clemens lists the top examples of proof of the Aquatic Ape Theory: An Argument For Our Watery Origins. And just in case you feel the need to brush up on your Bigfoot lore, Who Forted wants you to know that Centralia College Hosts Continuing Education Course In Cryptozoology.



Bigfoot Reported In Potter County Potter Leader-Enterprise
There's a certain charm with bigfoot hunters naming their beasts. Take Justin Prouty and Sandy Cramer's heartwarming relationship with a graying sasquatch they call "Pops". One of the interesting aspects of their squatching, according to Sharon Corderman, is a bigfoot's affinity for peanut butter. At the opposite end of the cryptozoological spectrum, aRare Wild Cat Was Found In The Annapurna Region underscoring the need for conserving newly found species. Mind you, the Pallas Cat is not 'new', just 'out of place', and 'unexpected'. Over at The Repblica is a blurry trailcam photo of kitty, with a wee bit more detail on the discovery.
