Cryptozoologist and author Loren Coleman(1) returned to the show, reporting on an unusual rash of mysterious creature sightings(2) in Texas, Maryland, and North Carolina. He classified most of these animals as unidentified "hybrid canine" types and noted that the majority of them lacked hair.
Coleman also discussed "thunderbird" reports of large wing-span birds which may live on the tops of certain mountains and could be similar to condors. He also noted tales of the "Big Hoot," a name coined by Mark Hall to describe a giant owl that may be associated with Mothman sightings.
Describing a June Bigfoot sighting in Yukon Village, Coleman said witnesses reported seeing a huge "man" covered in hair that crossed the Alaskan Highway in just two steps. He also mentioned a recent report(3) on the "Lake Champlain Monster," which he speculated may be a Nessie-like creature that is akin to a giant seal or walrus.

Bigfoot Replica

Loren Coleman recently "captured" this unique Bigfoot model (click for larger) for his International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine. The eight-and-a-half ft tall, 300 pound "Crookston Bigfoot" had been created by a Wisconsin taxidermist who combined two tanned hides of musk oxen for the body, a tanned hump of a buffalo for the head, and a tanned skin from a grizzly bear for the beard.
