| bigfoot tour? |
[27 Apr 2009|06:42pm] |
hey folks,
i'm new to this community, I actually had a bigfoot related question
i live in oregon and a friend told me about a bigfoot tour somewhere in washington state that has a guarunteed "sighting". I'm sure it's a hoax, but it also sounds fun!
i've been searching the interenet for info on where to sign up for this because my fiance's birthday is coming up and she loves bigfoot and i want to surprise her with this, but to no avail. I'm wondering if anyone's heard of this or anything else like this in the pacific northwest (i live in portland)
thanks in advance!

| Monster Mondays: The Mysterious Lemur Boy of Qatar |
[27 Apr 2009|06:31pm] |
Today's Dapper Cadaver Monster Monday comes from a hot tip that came out just this weekend. The English language "Gulf Times" ran a translation of a Qatar story that featured this creepy photo, and the following text
"A mysterious figure resembling a human being was sighted on the Doha Corniche’s parking lot, according to a report published in a local Arabic daily.
The report is based on the statement of an Arab expatriate lady who said she had seen the strange figure near the Oryx statue while walking in the area.
Quoting the woman, the daily said she took a picture of it in spite of being terribly frightened.
“She was very soon surrounded by a large number of people who also attested to the fact of what she had seen . But it suddenly disappeared out of their sight when they tried to go near it,” the report added."
Some have speculated it's an escaped Aye-Aye, a kind of hideous lemur native to Madagascar but known to have hilarious adventures adventures in other parts of the world thanks to their anthropomorphic penguin pals.
Or is the creature a Canadian made genetically engineered living toy? Find out after the cut

I'm on the fence with the episode that aired last night. While i'm guessing these were Manatees being filmed down in Florida, it still threw me for a loop that they were more like a unknown species of seal or marine mammal.
Forked tail? The head looked like a bear popping its head out of the water. It had bumpy fins? It sure didn't move like a manatee in regards to swimming away at a fast pace.
For once i can say this episode actually had some viable footage. Surprised this wasn't sent to Nat. Geo if they wanted a real observation team out there recording with better equipment and more man-power...

This was recently taken in Bristol TN. The individual who is riding the ATV has a lot of videos of him (and others) riding through various trails. Something happened here though whle riding through a stream, something that is referred to in this area of the country as the Gum Hill beast (the local Bigfoot):

| Monster Mondays - Bonnacon |
[06 Apr 2009|06:47pm] |
Bonnacon is really a creature where the less said about it the better. So I’ll just go straight to the source. Pliny the Elder, author of the worlds first Natural History Encyclopedia and one of ancient Greece’s most brilliant writers. His Natural History is over 160 volumes long and holds the closest thing we have to a complete record of Greek knowledge at that point. He must have thought no one would possibly read the whole thing when he slipped in this gem.
“Pliny- “There are reports of a wild animal in Paeonia called the bonnacon, which has the mane of a horse, but in all other respects resembles a bull; its horns are curved back in such a manner as to be of no use for fighting, and it is said that because of this it saves itself by running away, meanwhile emitting a trail of dung that sometimes covers a distance of as much as three furlongs (half a mile), contact with which scorches pursuers like a sort of fire.”
Yes, Bonnacon is Buffalo followed by half a mile of flaming dung. But words aren’t enough to convey it’s might. We need ridicules illuminated manuscripts of knights getting buffalo shit on them. Better bring a shield.

I didn't see anything in the userinfo banning promotion-type posts -- and this is actually relevant! :P
I set up an Etsy store today, and I'm selling t-shirts of extinct animals and some that might be cryptids. Please check them out :)
Thanks!

| Strange mummies of Japanese temples |
[07 Mar 2009|12:00pm] |
Pink Tentacle, that blog of weirdness from the Far East, has a post on the various mummies to be found in Japanese temples. These include mummies of demons and other supernatural creatures.
I find this fascinating for a number of reasons. For one thing, I love finding strange things tucked away in odd corners of old buildings, particularly churches. More to the point, however, I'd always assumed such monstrosities as Fiji mermaids were the invention of American sideshow shysters, and that it was just given the name Fijian to evoke the exotic other. It never occurred to me that there might actually be an Asian derivation of the thing. And, incidentally, it doesn't seem to have occurred to most other people who write about Fiji mermaids in the U.S.
I'd love to read a book-length miscellanea on strange things found in Japanese temples.

| Baby OgoPogo? |
[05 Mar 2009|04:30pm] |
Hello all,
I've been very interested in Cryptozoology for a long time, and have always kept an open mind as to what's out there. I actually live about 20 minutes from Loch Ness, which is quite apt for me! Anyway, has anyone seen this article about a possible baby ogopogo? I'm not sure what to make of it, I can't find much out about it, and what little information there is, is quite vague.
