UFOs & The JFK Assassination

Over at the website of the Dallas Morning News , there is a small feature on me which deals with one of the strangest aspects of the JFK assassination (which reaches its 50th anniversary in just a few weeks), namely, the links to the UFO subject...

Here's the link.

Alien Abductions: The Dark Side

My latest Mysterious Universe article takes a look at the dark side of the "Alien Abduction" phenomenon...

A British Bigfoot...?

And while we're on the topic of Bigfoot in Britain, there is this story from the UK's Telegraph newspaper  on a hairy man-thing running around the English county of Kent. Either that, or it's someone monkeying around...

The Orford Wild Man...

My latest Mysterious Universe article ...on the "Wild Man" of Orford, England - a proto-Bigfoot if ever there was one!

Lizard Man - The Book

There's a new article from me at Mysterious Universe on Lyle Blackburn's brand new book, Lizard Man (for which I wrote the Introduction). And here are my opening words of the article...



"In 2012, Anomalist Books published what I personally consider to have been the finest cryptozoological title of that year: Lyle Blackburn’s The Beast of Boggy Creek . It quite rightly received excellent reviews and justifiably thrust both Lyle and the Fouke Monster, itself, firmly into the limelight. Sometimes, however, when an author puts out such a great first book it can beg a potentially awkward question: how do you follow it with an equally good second one?"

Well, the answer to that question is you follow it just as Lyle has - with an excellent new title, Lizard Man , of course!

For fans of Cryptozoology and Forteana, don't miss this one!

The Wallaby of the Cemetery

Thanks to Kithra for alerting me to this - another wallaby bouncing around , this one in England's Highgate Cemetery!

Aliens and Zombies...

My latest Mysterious Universe article...

Exposing the Cattle Mutilators

"This past weekend, I spoke at the Minneapolis-based Paradigm Symposium, on the subject of my new book, For Nobody’s Eyes Only . Also lecturing were Micah Hanks (on his latest title, The Ghost Rockets ), David Weatherly (on his forthcoming book on the phenomenon of Tulpas – which, David was telling me, should be published around the end of the year), John Ward and Scott Roberts (who have a new release, The Exodus Reality ), and numerous others, including Chris O’Brien.

"For me, Chris’ presentation was the most significant of the 4-day event, and I’ll tell you why. But first, a bit of background. If you aren’t familiar with Chris’ work, then you really should be. He’s the author of a number of excellent books of a definitively Fortean nature , including Enter the Valley, The Mysterious Valley, Stalking the Tricksters, and Secrets of the Mysterious Valley. But, it’s the details of Chris’ forthcoming book that we’re focusing on right here, and which was also the subject of Chris’ lecture at the Paradigm Symposium."

That's how my latest Mysterious Universe article starts on Chris' new book, which is sure to create a storm of interest and controversy!

Strange Intruders...

While I was at the Paradigm Symposium this past weekend, friend and author David Weatherly very generously gave me an 18 inch X 12 inch poster of the cover of his new book, Strange Intruders . And here it is, on the living-room wall! Looks good!

The Colonized: Zombies Vs Aliens

 If, like me, you're a fan of all-things of a zombie nature, then this might interest you: a new, 90-page graphic novel (from Chris Ryall and Drew Moss) titled The Colonized: Zombies Vs Aliens , which I've written the introduction for.
