http://monsterusa.blogspot.com/2008/08/bigfoot-body-latest.html

Nick will also be on Paranormal Radio tonight at 9 pm :
http://www.wprtradio.com/news.php

Some intriguing updates!

Well folks...
Things are getting rather "hairy".(Pun FULLY intended!)

It looks as if the crew over at Lightmeetsdark.com have done some analyzing of their own regarding the wooley freezerpop that has recently thawed and caused quite a stir in the community. You can read about it here :
Lightmeetsdark

Crytpomundo still seems to be down probably due to bandwidth overload,and I have been hearing mixed reviews throughout the day about the outcome of the analyses. I hesitate to post anything regarding the matter until I have heard more concrete information.
I'll keep you all posted.


Also,I have some great news about the Haven,folks!

Thanks to my very good friends Nick Redfern and Neil Arnold,Raven's Mysterious Haven has made the front page of THE ANOMALIST today!

Thanks to Nick for promoting me and my work,and thanks to Neil Arnold for the wonderful interview.
Both are incredibly diligent in their efforts as researchers,and have brought so much to the field of cryptozoology and to research and writing in regards to all things strange and mysterious .
Their honesty and integrity speaks for itself,and I am honored to have them as mentors. I definitely respect them immensely both as researchers/writers,and as people.
Thank you gentlemen! You have my undying love and devotion.
May you be blessed with continued success in all you do. I am definitely blessed to know you.

I also want to give a huge word of thanks to my readers. Without you the Haven would just be an "empty nest". I am very grateful to you all. Thank you so much.

Stay tuned for more news regarding the Georgia Bigfoot,crypto news,updates on my own field research,and more exciting interviews in the future.

Ta ta for now!

More Bigfoot body

I listened to Tom Biscardi's radio show "Bigfoot Live" this evening,just as I did with the last show regarding the "Georgia bigfoot body".
I had wanted to access the chatroom but couldnt on either occasion,so I called in tonight after the radio program was over to tell the staff about the problem I was having with not being able to get into the chatroom. I waited til after the show because I didnt want to waste air time asking a trivial question like that.
Imagine my surprise when the person answering the phone was none other than Tom Biscardi.
I have to tell you,folks...the man was very cordial and friendly to me. I was impressed by his good nature and willingness to get my problem solved. I enjoyed speaking with him.
I hope this is the real thing.
The radio show yeilded a host of listeners that firmly stand by him and the alleged finding of the bigfoot body.
Im excited that this may be the find of the century,but Im also skeptical until I see more evidence. The pictures,in my opinion,are a bit fuzzy and unclear.
Tom and his crew have said more pictures with better clarity are on the way,so let's be patient and give them the benefit of the doubt at this point.

I'll post updates as I hear about them.

Ta ta for now,fledglings!

UPDATE ON GEORGIA GORILLA(bigfoot?)

Here is the latest post(accompanied by pictures of the beast) by Loren Coleman on CRYPTOMUNDO regarding the "Georgia Bigfoot/gorilla" :

http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/ga-gorilla-pic/

The infamous Chupacabra? Or just another coyote

Click on the link below(or copy and paste into a new browser) and give me your thoughts on what you think this creature is. I'd love to hear what you all have to say about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg4_xSne5g8

In my humble opinion,it really does look like a coyote-ish type animal.
The long protruding snout as it turns its head to the side could be that it really indeed has an exceptionally long snout,or it could just be an optical illusion from the way the onboard camera is reflecting light. Or it could be something else entirely.
Remember folks,the other animal that looked similar was DNA tested and was ruled,in the end,a coyote hybrid of some sort.
On another note...
It's not too far fetched to think we could be witnessing an evolutionary change of some sort. The coyote could possibly be adapting to changing climate and environment,thus becoming an entirely new species.
This would explain the weirdness surrounding its appearance and an inability by some labs to give a complete analysis of the creatures tested.

Even if it isnt the infamous Chupacabra,we still could be witnessing something very historically and scientifically significant.

Dont forget to check out my interview with Neil Arnold from yesterday.
He is an amazing and very interesting person and I know you'll enjoy the interview.

Also,be sure to check out Loren Coleman's thoughts about the Georgia bigfoot body(Again,you may have to copy and paste,as BLOGSPOT is being a wanker today and not allowing my links to be clickable) :

Interview with Neil Arnold


Id like to introduce you all to my very good friend Neil Arnold,
author of "Monster! The A-Z Of Zooform Phenomena",a book that has quickly become on of my personal favorites.



He is a respected folklorist in merry ol England,and is especiallyknown for his research regarding big cat encounters and sightings throughout thecountry.
As well as doing research and writing books and articles,he also maintains several blogs that I think you'd enjoy as much as I do. Here are links to a couple of them,and you can find them on my home page as well :
Neil is very dedicated to his work and his efforts are tireless both out in the field and in his writing.
So,without further delay...My interview with Neil Arnold :
Raven : First Id like to welcome you,Neil,and thank you for doing this interview for myreaders.
It's much appreciated.
Neil : THANK YOU FOR INTERVIEWING ME AND FOR SHOWING AN INTEREST IN MY WORK.
Raven : How did you first get your start into the field of cryptozoology?
Neil : I THINK ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE, OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES, WRITTEN ABOUT MONSTERS, STRANGE CREATURES AND THE LIKES, WILL OFTEN CITE A FILM OR BOOK FROM CHILDHOOD WHICH INFLUENCED THEM TO CONDUCT THEIR OWN RESEARCH. FOR ME, AS A KID IN THE '80S, THE FILM 'THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK' WAS A HUGE TURNING POINT. IT WAS SUCH A SCARY AND MYSTERIOUS FILM ABOUT A SASQUATCH-TYPE CREATURE LURKING IN THE ARKANSAS RIVER BOTTOMS, BUT THE WAY IT WAS FILMED ENABLED IT TO LOOK LIKE A DOCUMENTARY, IT REMAINS MY FAVOURITE FILM EVER TO THIS DAY AND INSPIRED SO MANY OTHER FILMS OF THE ILK SUCH AS 'BLAIR WITCH PROJECT'. ALSO, A BOOK CALLED 'MONSTERS &MYSTERIOUS BEASTS' (1974) BY CAREY MILLER PLAYED A BIG PART TOO. AT THE AGE OF AROUND NINE THE THOUGHT OF CREATURES SUCH AS THE YETI, BIGFOOT AND LAKEMONSTERS ROAMING THE PLANET WAS TERRIFYING BUT ALSO EXCITING. MY FAMILY PLAYED SUCH A GREAT PART ALSO IN TELLING ME FRIGHTENING TALES AS A KID OF UNUSUAL BEASTS AND LEGENDS PERTAINING TO LOCAL AREAS.
Raven : How have your family and friends responded to your work?
Neil : MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY MY FATHER AND GRANDAD WERE VERY INFLUENTIAL. AS KEEN FISHERMEN THEY ALWAYS USED TO TAKE ME TO DARK, LOCAL LAKES AND THE PROSPECT OF CATCHING A BIG FISH WAS SOMETHING AKIN TO EARLY MONSTER-HUNTING FOR ME. EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS BEEN TREMENDOUSLY SUPPORTIVE, IT HELPS TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING PARTNER AND MY GIRLFRIEND ALWAYS GIVES ME A SUPPORTIVE KICK UP THE BACKSIDE WHEN I'M NOT MAKING THE EFFORT HA! AS FOR MY FRIENDS, I THINK THEY LIKE HANGING OUT WITH A GUY WHO NOT ONLY HUNTS STRANGE CREATURES BUT ALSO THINKS HE'S A ROCK STAR!
Raven : Do you think some of the strange phenomena that people are witnessing across the globe are related in any way?
Neil : YES, OF COURSE, THE FLESH AND BLOOD 'MONSTERS' WE ALL ENJOY SUCH AS BIGFOOT, COULD HAVE CONNECTIONS TO THE ALMAS OF RUSSIA, THE SKUNK APE OF THE AMERICAN SOUTH, THE YETI OF THE HIMALAYAS IN THE SENSE THEY ARE ALL UNDISCOVERED SPECIES OF GIANT APE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE CLEARLY OTHER 'CREATURES' WHICH INHABIT THIS VOID WHICH ARE NOT FLESH AND BLOOD AND ARE FAR MORE COMPLEX TO FIGURE OUT. IF THEY ARE CONNECTED THEN I BELIEVE WE ARE IN AN EVEN WEIRDER REALM THAN ONCE THOUGHT.
Raven : There seems to be a lot of focus right now on the "Montauk Monster",a creaturewhich is currently upstaging celebs and taking up an enormous amount of air and webtime.What are your thoughts on it ?
Neil : I DON'T KNOW WHY SUCH CASES CAUSE SUCH EXCITEMENT. I SEE A HIGH LEVEL OF REPETITION WITH THESE KIND OF CASES WHICH USUALLY TURN OUT TO BE EITHER HOAX OR NATURAL ANIMAL SUCH AS A WRONGLY IDENTIFIED DOG-CORPSE. IT FRUSTRATES ME TO SEE MYSTERIOUS CREATURES SUCH AS THE CHUPACABRAS TURNING UP IN PLACES SUCH AS TEXAS, THEN FLORIDA, MEXICO ETC, AND THEN WHEN WE SEE THE PHOTO'S IT TURNS OUT TO BE A MALNOURISHED COYOTE OR UNWELL DOG. IT'S GREAT WHEN THINGS ARE WASHED ASHORE BUT SURELY ZOOLOGISTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY STRAIGHT AWAY WHETHER THE MONTAUK 'MONSTER' IS A NORMAL ANIMAL OR SOMETHING UNKNOWN ? EVEN SO, THE PUBLICITY SUCH THINGS CREATE IS NOT GOOD.
Raven : Which of the current list of cryptids fascinates you the most?
Neil : WELL, AS CRYPTIDS GO, I THINK THE POSSIBILITY THAT AN UNKNOWN SPECIES OF GIANT APE ROAMS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST OF AMERICA IS FASCINATING. ALSO, THE THYLACINE IS A VERY INTRIGUING CRYPTID AND POSSIBLY THE MOST LIKELY ANIMAL OUT THERE TO STILL BE AROUND. LAKE AND SEA MONSTERS ALWAYS FASCINATE ASWELL.
Raven : If you could change one thing in the current field ofcryptozoology,what would it be?
Neil : I FIND MANY OF THESE FIELDS TO BE VERY 'CLIQUEY', A CLOSE-KNIT FAMILY OF THE OLD GUARD WHO SEEM EITHER RELUCTANT TO EXCEPT NEW FACES OR WHO REMAIN STUCK TOO MUCH IN THEIR OWN AGE-OLD THEORIES, AND THIS KIND OF THING IS PREVELANT IN AREAS SUCH AS GHOSTLY PHENOMENA AND UFOLOGY. IT'S ABOUT TIME TO REALISE THAT IT'S THOSE WHO ARE OUT THERE IN THE FIELD WHO ARE MAKING THE MOST EFFORT, RATHER THAN GIVING OPINION BEHIND A COMPUTER SCREEN.THERE ARE SOME GREAT CRYPTOZOOLOGISTS BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS KIND OF STUDY IS THAT IT GETS LUMPED IN WITH THE 'WEIRD CROWD' TOO OFTEN, OR PUT ALONGSIDE TRAIN-SPOTTERS ETC, AND WHAT MAKES IT WORSE IS THE INTERVENTION OF TERRIBLE TV SHOWS LIKE 'MONSTER HUNTER', WHICH MAKES A FOOL OUT OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY. I ALSO THINK THAT MANY CRYPTOZOOLOGISTS MUST BEGIN TO REALISE THAT NOT EVERY CREATURE THEY SEEK IS FLESH AND BLOOD. I'M NOT INTO THE PARANORMAL, BUT 'MONSTERS' SUCH AS MOTHMAN, DOG MEN, MONKEYMAN OF INDIA, BLACK DOGS, ETC, ARE NOT CRYPTIDS, THEY ARE NOT IN THE WOODS OR THE WATERS, THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE HUMAN PSYCHE AND OUR CULTURAL BELIEF SYSTEMS AND FEARS.
Raven : I know you've had some amazing experiences in the years that you'vebeen doing this work. Could you share one or two of them with my readers?
Neil : IT'S ALWAYS A PRIVELEGE TO ENCOUNTER A STRANGE ANIMAL SO FOR ME, MY RESEARCH INTO SIGHTINGS OF LARGE, EXOTIC CATS IN THE UK HAS BEEN THE MOST PRODUCTIVE. I HAVE SEEN A BLACK LEOPARD (POSSIBLY THE SAME INDIVIDUAL)THREE TIMES, A LYNX ONCE, A PUMA ONCE AND ALSO A CAT RESEMBLING A CARACAL.THESE CATS ARE CERTAINLY FLESH AND BLOOD AND NOT DEMONIC, PARANORMAL OR GHOSTLY.
Raven : Regarding the word "Zooform". Could you please explain how that wordcame about and what it pertains to?'
Neil : ZOOFORM' IS A WORD THAT WAS COINED IN THE EARLY '90S BY FORTEAN ZOOLOGIST JONATHAN DOWNES WHO RUNS THE CENTRE FOR FORTEAN ZOOLOGY (WWW.CFZ.ORG.UK).ZOOFORMS ARE CREATURES SUCH AS MOTHMAN, BLACK DOGS, BRAY ROAD BEAST,WINGED HUMANOIDS, SKY SERPENTS, PARANORMAL MANIMALS,CREATURES WHICH RESEMBLE ANIMALS BUT HAVE HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS AND SUPERNATURAL AURA. ZOOFORMS ARE TRUE MONSTERS IN THE SENSE THEY CAN BE MANIFESTATION, AGE-OLD BELIEF (I.E. JERSEY DEVIL) BUT THERE CAN BE A FINE LINE BECAUSE CREATURES SUCH AS LIZARD MAN AND THE BRAY ROAD WEREWOLF COULD WELL CROSS INTO BIGFOOT TERRITORY. IT'S A COMPLEX PHENOMENA WHICH IS WHY I WROTE THE BOOK.
Raven : What are some of your favorite books on the subject of hidden critters?
Neil : MY FAVOURITE CRYPTOZOOLOGY BOOKS, WELL, ANYTHING BY KARL SHUKER IS ALWAYSA GOOD READ, 'MYSTERY CATS OF THE WORLD', 'IN SEARCH OF PREHISTORIC SURVIVORS', ETC, AND I ENJOYED LOREN COLEMAN'S 'MYSTERIOUS AMERICA', MOSTOF GROVER KRANTZ BIGFOOT MATERIAL. ON THE ZOOFORM FRONT I LOVE LINDA GODFREY'S 'THE BEAST OF BRAY ROAD' AND 'HUNTING THE AMERICAN WEREWOLF'.ANY BOOK THAT DOESN'T REGURGITATE IS FINE BY ME, I ALSO RECOMMEND SCOTT CORRALES 'CHUPACABRAS & OTHER MYSTERIES', 'OUT OF THE SHADOWS' BY CROPPERAND HEALY WHICH CONCERNS MYSTERY ANIMALS OF AUSTRALIA AND ALSO THEIR 'YOWIE' BOOK. SO MANY GOOD ONES AROUND PLUS THE OLD JOHN KEEL CLASSICS.
Raven : "Monster! The A-Z Of Zooform Phenomena" has been a great success. What promptedyou to write it?
Neil : IT HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. THERE ARE SO MANY CRYPTO BOOKS WHICH INCLUDED CREATURES WHICH CLEARLY WEREN'T CRYPTIDS. IT BEGAN LIFE AS ANARTICLE FOR JON DOWNE'S AND HIS 'ANIMALS & MEN' MAGAZINE AND THEN I TURNEDIT INTO A BOOKLET CALLED 'ALIEN ZOO'. JON DOWNES AND THE GUYS AT CFZ PRESSTHEN SAID THEY WANTED TO PUBLISH IT AND IT WAS GOING TO BE CALLED'MONSTROUS MANIFESTATIONS' BUT THE TITLE 'MONSTER!' WAS BETTER BECAUSE IT BROUGHT BACK THOSE DAYS OF 'JAWS' AND THE LIKES, A SIMPLE TITLE, A GREAT COVER, AND CONTENTS THAT NO-ONE ELSE HAD THOUGHT OF AND HOPEFULLY A GREAT REFERENCE GUIDE TO CREATURES WHICH EVADE CRYPTOZOOLOGY AND ALWAYS WILL.
Raven : Any plans for another book in the near future?
Neil : I'VE ALREADY FINISHED 'MYSTERY ANIMALS OF KENT' FOR CFZ PRESS AND ALREADY WRITTEN A BOOK ON STRANGE CREATURES AROUND LONDON. IN THE PAST ISELF-PUBLISHED 'ODD-BODIES' AND 'CLANDESTINE CREATURES'. NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT, MAYBE A BOOK ON CRYPTOZOOLOGY IN THE MOVIES AND MAYBE ONE DAY A SEQUEL TO 'MONSTER!'.
Raven : What advice would you give someone just coming into this field of study?
Neil : GET OUT INTO THE FIELD, LOG EVERYTHING AND TRAWL THE ARCHIVES BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY GEMS TO BE FOUND.
Raven : Do you have any parting thoughts or words of wisdom you'd like to leave myreaders with?
Neil : IF THERE IS NO-ONE THERE TO SEE A ZOOFORM CREATURE...DOES IT STILL APPEAR? AND...BUY THE BOOK!
Raven : lol. Awesome words of wisdom,my friend. You heard it here first,folks!
Thanks again for being here Neil. It has been a great pleasure and an honor interviewing you.
Neil : MANY THANKS RAVEN, ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
Ta ta for now,my fledglings!
Your Mistress of the Mysterious, Raven

"Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music"

The title of today's blog is a quote by a famous woman named Angela Monet who was,in her own way,as mysterious as the cryptid creatures we spend countless hours passionately researching,investigating, and discussing today.
If you try to look for her,you'll find little,if any,information available about her. Some speculate whether she even existed at all. She couldve been someone who wished to remain anonymous and out of the general public view,yet desired to leave her mark in some way to let us know she was indeed here and left her "footprints in the sand". Perhaps there were a few she trusted enough to share a glimpse of her world with, but to most she remained elusive,and still does even to this day.

Sound familiar?

As cryptozoologists,paranormal researchers,investigators,and armchair enthusiasts,we all share one thing in common........ ..We dance to the music most will probably never take the time to hear.
We seek the elusive and mysterious...and in doing so,we become a part of them and they a part of us.
I may never live to see firsthand a family of water monsters frolicking in a Scottish lake, or be able to capture a photograph of Bigfoot on my trusty digital,but does it mean I believe any less that these creatures exist? No,of course not. But half the fun is in the quest. Life should be an adventure. Let them laugh,let them point..... I'll still continue to dance.

Who wants to be "normal" anyway ; )

Be sure to stay tuned in to the Haven over the next few days,my fledglings. Ive got another exciting interview coming up that I just know you'll love!

Here's a little something,courtesy of 'cryptidsrus',to make you smile!



Ta Ta for now!

The Montauk saga continues...

It looks as if our new found friend the Montauk monster won't be letting go of the limelight any time soon.
Added to the assortment of labels its been given,we now have "raccoon" on the list of favored speculations.
According to some experts, the "beak" protruding forth from the animal's snout is nothing more than the nasal structure having been exposed in the decomposition process.
Another curious update in this story is that the creature has apparently dissapeared from one of the photographer's back yard and is now being "kept hidden" until scientists can examine it further.
Hmm...the plot thickens,crypto fans!
Here is a video interview that Plum TV's Nick Leighton did with the three women who supposedly happened upon and photographed the now famous monstrosity:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1xDfhThmN4

Good grief,the past week in cryptozoology has certainly been busy...
A Monster in a box,a Bigfoot in a freezer....
What's next?...a Mandog in a Samsonite suitcase?

Til next time,my flock!

The Montauk Monster?


Exactly what this thing, or even what it's related to, is anyone's guess at this stage.
Care to take a stab in the dark at identifying it?
Suggestions such as "turtle without it's shell" to "mutant dog" to of course the ever present "Chupacabra" have been surfacing for roughly the past 72 hours,after this strange looking critter washed ashore at Montauk Island,New York.
Whatever it is,it's caused quite a stir among the locals and is quickly gaining notoriety across the internet.
To stay tuned to the latest findings,please check in at Loren Coleman's Cryptomundo site at:
http://www.cryptomundo.com/index.php?s=montauk+monster

As I dig up any new details,I will keep you all posted!

Have a fabulous Friday!
