Real, or Not?

Posted in books, Jersey Devil, Monsters by

Came across this article about a book written by a Jersey Devil descendant, Bill Sprouse. The book titled, “The Domestic Life of The Jersey Devil: or, BeBop’s Miscellany” attempts to prod through family history to explain the story. While I do agree that the original tale of the demon being born to Mrs. Leeds could be explained away by saying she had a physically or mentally handicapped child, it doesn’t account for the sightings that have happened regularly since the 1700’s. Looks like an interesting read though and should definitely offer some insight into the Leeds family.

Bigfoot in New Jersey!?!

Posted in Bigfoot, Jersey Devil, Monsters, Sasquatch, Yeti by

For those of you who are not watching Animal Planet’s hit show Finding Bigfoot, I pity you. This fine piece of television brilliance takes viewers right into the thick of bigfoot hunting and smothers you in all kinds of squatchy goodness. It’s worth the watch for Bobo, the lovable, lumbering trucker hat-wearing bigfoot hunter, alone. Check out this clip of a bigfoot rave they are going to throw in the woods…yup, that happened.

Anyway, this show is one of my must watch (not so) guilty pleasures. The only thing better than squatching is squatching in my homeland of New Jersey. Now you may not think of New Jersey as a bigfoot habitat but let me assure you, there are sighting here. While they occur mainly in the northwest part of the state, I was curious to see this article today showing that the BFRO group recently filmed an episode in the Pinelands of South Jersey.

I’ve never heard of any bigfoot reports from the south so I’m very interested to check out this episode when Finding Bigfoot begins airing again in November. Maybe bigfoot got together with my boy, The Jersey Devil, and had a rave in the Pinelands with Bobo-now that would be good t.v.!

Yeti DNA??

Posted in Monsters, Sasquatch, Writing by

I saw this article yesterday about a geneticist apparently unraveling yeti DNA. It made me think about why he was wandering the Himalaya Mountains  but, of course, I already knew why-I wrote a book about it!

It’s still cool to read more and more articles referencing the science behind solving these mysteries. The truth is out there, folks! As the poster in Mulder’s office read: I Want To Believe
