Nessie and Bigfoot at School...

Every November and December, me and good friend Shelly Covington-Montana do a series of lectures on the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot for the kids of Dallas' Highland Park School District. The kids - who are about 7 or 8 years old - always get a kick out of the spooky, creepy tales and visuals, and afterward, the teachers ask the kids to do some drawings of what they liked. Here's a few of the newest pictures, which arrived in the mail today from one of the schools. Very cool!

"Monstro Bizarro" - Reviewed

Here's the link to the review , and below is how it begins...


Monstro Bizarro is a new book from Lyle Blackburn. Its subtitle will give you a good idea of its contents: An Essential Manual of Mysterious Monsters. This is an excellent book, one which covers a wide and varied body of subjects and which is both informing and entertaining. Before I get to the matter of the content of the book, however, there’s the important issue of the layout, style and design. I have to say this is a very skilfully designed book that is filled with photos, paintings, drawings, movie posters, etc. Every single page of the book is lavishly illustrated. Most of the pages contain at least two or three images – and the vast majority of the images are in color, which is a major bonus.

As the author of both The Beast of Boggy Creek and Lizard Man (and of the forthcoming Beyond Boggy Creek ) Blackburn knows his subject-matter well. If you are interested in the issue of so-called “Hairy Hominids” – Bigfoot, the Yeti, etc. – then you won’t be disappointed. We begin with “Bigfoot Beasts” and a section titled “On the Track of Sasquatch Cinema,” which is an extremely well compiled summary of all the essential Bigfoot/Yeti-themed movies, such as The Snow Creature, The Abominable Snowman, The Legend of Boggy Creek, and Exists. Of the latter, Blackburn says: “The plausible story, exceptional creature suit and skilled filmmaking set a new mark for Sasquatch cinema.”

Reviewing Linda Godfrey's "Monsters Among Us"

At Mysterious Universe , I review Linda Godfrey's new book, Monsters Among Us , which is an excellent read! Dogmen, portals, and much more...

Here's how the review begins:

Over the course of more than a decade, Linda Godfrey has written a number of excellent books on what many might call werewolves, but which are becoming more and more popularly known as Dogmen. Linda’s books include The Beast of Bray Road, Hunting the American Werewolf, The Michigan Dogman, Werewolves, and Real Wolfmen. Well, Linda now has yet another book to add to the pack: Monsters Among Us: An Exploration of Otherworldly Bigfoots, Wolfmen, Portals, Phantoms, and Odd Phenomena . Published by Tarcher, this 352-page book is, in my opinion, Linda’s most ambitious of all. It’s packed with intriguing photos, too.

In each and every one of her previous books that tackled such inflammatory issues as werewolves and Dogmen, Linda was always careful to present the reader with a wide and varied body of theories that might go some way to explaining what is really afoot. We’re talking about allegedly real werewolves, mistaken identity, paranormal phenomena, and hoaxes. But, why do I say that – for me – Monsters Among Us is Linda’s most satisfying book to date? Well, it’s because this one, more than any other, seeks to figure out, exactly, what on earth is going on. A number of people, over the years and decades, have done their utmost to try and understand – and unify under one banner – the clear connections between various paranormal/unexplained phenomena that many would suggest are unconnected. I’m talking about John Keel, Jacques Vallee, Greg Bishop and Rob Riggs. Now, we can add Linda to that illustrious list.
