We’ve heard of guerrilla skeptics, but this is ridiculous! A drive-by shooting of Bigfoot Books in Willow Creek, California struck a nerve with Loren Coleman. Proprietor Steven Streufert has plenty to say about the incident, giving more ammunition to the argument of the “loyal opposition” not being as reasonable as their beloved positivism. No less […]

Well-established Bigfoot researcher and author John Bindernagel takes issue to referring to Bigfoot as “Squatch” and says it is actually culturally insensitive and disrespectful to the Aboriginal legends it derives from. He says, quite rightly, that we owe a lot of our original knowledge to the centuries-old Sasquatch lore from Aboriginal peoples and it’s appropriate […]

The world lost a visionary, artistic genius when H.R. Giger passed away Monday from an accidental fall at age 74, but did we also lose the source of inspiration for the modern day Chupacabras legend? Giger’s killer in human disguise from the 1995 movie Species shares some spookily similar characteristics with the Chupacabras featured in […]

It’s not a bear and […]

Loren Coleman has done such a through and exhaustively complete job of listing all the Cryptozoology End of the Year Lists that we now expect a Top Ten List of the Best Top Ten Lists of the Best Top Ten Lists Cryptozoo News has produced! Kidding aside, this is an extremely well-rounded, useful listing of […]

Loren Coleman presents a list of the top Crypto news events from the past year, including hits (and misses) from the discovery of the new tapir to Melba Ketchum’s controversial DNA study.

From all indications, it appears that Roy Mackal died three months ago. How could the passing of someone of Mackal’s stature and accomplishments not be widely noted? Loren Coleman provides the first obituary. Mackal was a University of Chicago biochemist, inventor, author, and a founding member of the International Society of Cryptozoology. He also did […]
