Russia's Lake Dwelling Serpent: The Brosnya Dragon – Phantoms and Monsters
www.phantomsandmonsters.com

When it comes to the unexplained, particularly that of the cryptid variety, it’s likely we can all agree that Russia has more strange activity than the rest of the world. Today we’re taking a look at a lake monster that may very well be Nessie’s brooding cousin. The Brosnya Dragon was first reported by the […]

Harrowing 'Not Deer' Encounter Near Charlottesville, Virginia – Phantoms and Monsters
www.phantomsandmonsters.com

Today we have a tale of three cryptids, all of which would seem somewhat normal (albeit unnerving) in the appropriate environments. This first encounter seems benign enough at first glance, a run-in with a stag in the forest. But looking a little deeper we find something described as “not a deer,” i.e. an aberration. Next, […]

www.phantomsandmonsters.com

There is no question that Lon Strickler gets the best mail, albeit a bit hair raising at times. And speaking of hair, Lon received correspondence describing what may have been a Bigfoot garbage dump at an undisclosed location in New Mexico–a bone yard filled with the shattered skulls of local wildlife and bones with decaying […]

Two noteworthy cryptozoological works have gotten a welcome update from their authors. The first is the topic of a review by John Rimmer: Karl Shuker’s newest book–though it probably won’t be “newest” for long considering how prolific he is–Mystery Cats of the World Revisited (Anomalist Books). Rimmer notes: “Although the discovery of a new species […]

www.phantomsandmonsters.com

Three Bigfoot reports today, all from Lon Strickler. First up is a typical family drive made far less than typical as a family notices two young bears and an adult bear just off the highway. A few seconds later they realize they aren’t looking at bears but at bipedal hairy hominids. They kept driving and […]

Upright Cryptid Canine Pack Chase Vehicle Near Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe – Phantoms and Monsters
www.phantomsandmonsters.com

The title is somewhat misleading as the chasing canine was on all fours keeping pace with an unidentified vehicle. It is only at the end of the encounter of uncertain date, as the startled motorists speed away into the African savannah, that the creature stands up on its haunches and seems to be a seven-foot-tall […]

www.phantomsandmonsters.com

A gentleman in North Carolina who sounds like an extremely capable outdoorsman recently experienced something that would make many of us turn to knitting as our activity of choice. Camped out in his tarp shelter, alone on a cloudy night, he briefly noticed an anomalous ball of light, which was then followed by a visit […]

My Response to Recent Accusations Made Against Me – Phantoms and Monsters
www.phantomsandmonsters.com

In the interest of fairness, here’s Lon Strickler’s response to Hayley Stevens’s coverage of people talking smack about Allison Jornin and her follow-up. In short, Lon says he knows who “leaked” the comments and banned them. His response then devolves into ad hominem and argumentum ab auctoritate, not to mention suggestions regarding Allison Jornlin’s character […]
