Update: Backyard Bigfoot Witness Cryptomundo
Lan Lamphere of Overnight AM updates the story of "Mr. Mike," the 70-year-old veteran who claims to have a Bigfoot family camping in his backyard. Lamphere details steps being taken to document the case, including filming set to take place at the home, the location of which has not been divulged to the public. Meanwhile, at Phantoms & Monsters, Lon Strickler repeats Craig Woolheater's original Cryptomundo report of the alleged Bigfoot event and follows up with his (Strickler's) own commentary about the claims: Breaking News: Bigfoot Found in North America? CONFIRMATION! Has this Bigfoot claim really been confirmed? There's other news with a Bigfoot slant, of sorts, in Loren Coleman's weaving together of twilight language and other factors involved in the abduction of a four-year-old girl last weekend, as Coleman explains in Spotlight Location: Louisiana, Missouri.

Bigfoot Found in North America? Not So Fast Ghost Theory
Javier Ortega revisits yesterday's "Breaking News" from Craig Woolheater at Cryptomundo concerning a gentleman's claims a family of Bigfoots had been camping in his backyard. Ortega's posting of this information has drawn some excellent commentary, including one from Matthew Moneymaker of the Bigfoot Field Research Organization. Meanwhile, Woolheater has posted a link to listen to an interview with the claimant inBackyard Bigfoot Witness on the Air Tonight. The broadcast actually was scheduled for last night, Thursday, July 8. The link Woolheater provides to listen to the broadcast appears to be dead. Elsewhere, the new bookMonsters of Texas will be the topic tonight on Coast to Coast AM when George Noory welcomes Nick Redfern who co-authored the book with Ken Gerhard. A link to the program information can be found in Nick on the Radio, and, in another programming note, the subject of big cats in Australia is discussed by Michael Williams at the link provided in CFZ Australia on the Radio. Also joining the cryptid commentary today is Micah Hanks who points out the difficulties cryptozoologists can face in identifying what's been presented as an unknown creature: Attack of the Amorphous Monster: When Things Aren't What They Seem.

Recent developments from an undisclosed location somewhere in North America of an alleged Bigfoot family in a backyard have come to my attention, and a radio show called Overnight AM addressed it this morning. It will be further addressed on the same show at 10:00 Eastern/9:00 Central at:http://www.lanlamphere.com/livevideo.php Should prove interesting.
Breaking News: Bigfoot Found in North America Cryptomundo
With part of the headline reading "Documented Events Reveal Sasquatch Lives," Craig Woolheater gets some Bigfoot afficionados' blood pumping with a short release from Overnight AM broadcasters claiming a family of Bigfoots have taken up residence in the backyard of a 70-year-old retired veteran's home in an unannounced location. Woolheater provides a link to the broadcast that features the alleged eyewitness. Reportedly, UFO Magazine and Clearly Skewed Entertainment have a film crew on the way to the site. PLEASE NOTE: Loren Coleman says the editor of UFO Magazine has been contacted and reports Breaking Bigfoot Story: Holes Developing. Is another Georgia Bigfoot event beginning to take shape?

A Mystery Animal in Ancient Africa Beachcombing's Bizarre History Blog
A deconstruction of a passage in Voyage of Hanno, which purports to describe a Carthaginian expedition down the western coast of Africa in the early centuries B.C. The passage seems to describe a "gorilla," but what is it really? It turns out that in the mid nineteenth century, when Dr. Thomas Savage named the animal that we today call the gorilla, he had borrowed the word from the Voyage. Could the animal described in the passage be Savage’s gorilla? If not, "what is left?" And in Cryptomundo, a look back at the furor in Malaysia four years ago in Johor Juggernaut.
