    Report released from 4-year Bigfoot search

    As it turns out it’s harder than we might imagine. Few of us are actually privy to the painful process of discovery. We find out the results, the path that worked out. We usually aren’t told about the failed theories, the false trails, the dead ends. So, when we look at things like finding Bigfoot it’s easy to get discouraged. This video, courtesy of KTUL in Tulsa, Oklahoma, outlines the findings of some dedicated Bigfoot after four years of looking. Some of their observation

    Walking through the woods when you hear this

    Imagine you are enjoying a pleasant walk in the woods on Vancouver Island.  Suddenly, the air is pierced by a terrible howl. Your blood runs cold as you try to imagine what it could be. Is that a dog? Is it a man in agony? Is it something unearthly? Residents of Alert Bay don’t have to imagine. They are experiencing it. Several residents have reporting hearing what some believe are vocalizations from Sasquatch in the area. A young man named Mackenzie Mountain managed to get a

    Skunkape/Bigfoot Found Jumping into Gator Infested Waters

    Outside of Tampla Florida, a Bigfoot hunter & enthusiast named Matt M. captured a video while canoeing in the swamps of Tampla, Florida. What was thought to be a bear, has been analyzed further to be proven not to be. No bear has arms that lanky and long, and how it walks seems unnatural for a bear, even a weirdo one. Matt saw this thing in the woods and smartly started filming this unknown creature as it dove into Gator infested waters, probably to show all the Gators why he

    Bigfoot vs. the Buffalos in Yellowstone National Park

    This is one brave man, for to get this video, he had to get way too close for my comfort. In the video below, you can clearly see some Bigfoot-esque creature attacking a heard of unfortunate buffalos. It’s easy to write this off as a hoax of sorts, but who would risk their life for a hoax like this? What do you think? Watch the video and find out for yourself. #Cryptozoologist #Bigfoot #Cryptozoology #LuckyLizard #Sfanthor #museumoftheweird #Sasquatch #buffalo

    Hipster Bigfoot Found in Brooklyn?

    Seems like a PBR drinking, fixed gear bicycle riding Bigfoot was found doing yoga… I mean walking around in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The video was shot Tuesday morning in Prospect Park by a hot toddy drinking local mustache aficionado probably filming a short film when all of a sudden a large, dark figure walked in the back of his frame and probably ruining the man’s perfect intro shot. The video was met with great skepticism upon viewing, and has been widely decided to be

    The Long-Lost Bigfoot Board Game

    Anybody looking for a present to get Steve Busti (owner of Museum of the Weird)? Well, here ya go, but you’ll probably have to scour some thrift stores and yard sales for some time to track down a copy. Milton Bradley put out this 4 player board game in 1977 and sadly, time seems to say it wasn’t a big hit (or we’d all have a dusty copy in our closet next to our “Monopoly”, “Life” and “Sorry” games. Here’s the description on the box and of the gameplay from Boardgamegeek.com

    Cryptozoologist raising funds to study Lovelock Cave Giants

    Despite my colleague Chris Cox’s article the other day (see A Bad Day for Bigfoot), I remain optimistic that there will be some proof of an unknown, living, upright-walking primate found — eventually. As cryptozoologist Scott Marlowe points out in response to that article, “The researchers DON’T claim any sweeping generalization whatsoever. They are simply reporting on those samples they worked with — and say as much in the report.” “Good science is about patience, not easy g

    Screen shot of the moment the supposed Skunk Ape stands upright. Could this be the best video yet of the elusive Skunk Ape, the south’s version of Bigfoot?  Here’s the description accompanying the video, which was uploaded by YouTube user Josh Highcliff on October 28, 2013: Here is exactly what I seen, I’m not sure what it is but can someone please tell me? Is there a person who can do video analyses or something? I got scared and ran away, i wish i stayed to keep taking the

    BREAKING NEWS: YETI DNA STUDY ANNOUNCES SURPRISING RESULTS

    Abominable Snowmen book and my mummified “Yeti” finger. I was tipped off to this news several months ago (and again a few days ago) that Oxford University geneticist Dr. Bryan Sykes would be announcing some “unexpected results” concerning his DNA study of supposed Yeti hair samples. Well, now those results are being officially announced to the world, and I would think it’s safe to say they are not what anybody had expected, but no less amazing in my opinion. For centuries, ta

    FRANK’S LAST WORDS ON THE MINNESOTA ICEMAN

    As you can read in our previous post, Frank Hansen, the man who originally exhibited the Minnesota Iceman in the 1960s and 70s, revealed in a 1970 article in Saga Magazine that he himself was the one who shot the creature while hunting in the deep woods of Minnesota. Keep that in mind as you read this next story (click on the link below), which details some interviews with Frank Hansen in his final years.  If the following account is true, why would Hansen in his later years

    The guys over at Ghost Theory spied an unusual police report siting the shooting of “Bigfoot” by a Pennsylvanian turkey hunter. The report was accompanied by a photo taken on May 14, 2013 of the footprint which led the hunter to believe that it was indeed the legendary Sasquatch. We’ll be following this report through the Pennsylvanian Bigfoot Society for updates. #Bigfoot #PennsylvanianBigfootSociety #Cryptozoology #turkeyhunter #Sasquatch #Cryptids

    DECOMPOSING BIGFOOT FOOT DISCOVERED

    Two boys in Massachusetts have stumbled upon what could possibly be a defining piece of evidence in the great hunt for Bigfoot. On March 29th the partially decomposed foot of large, unidentified mammal was discovered just off Pantheon Road in Lakeville. Local authorities were called to the scene to investigate after a report was filed by the boys. There they confirmed the report but were unable to come to a definitive conclusion regarding the nature of the limb. Seeking an ex
