An English Haunting

Cullan H. posted an article on - Feb 4, 2012, 10:27 am
A friend of mine in England sent me an e-mail yesterday. Now, he's a rational Englishman and quite unlike the erratic bunch you would find in any given episode of Most Haunted. In fact, his interests doen't seem to lie in the vein of the paranormal much at all. He's more the let's-hike-every-mountai...

Will The Real Noah Please Stand Up?

Troubles With Casting Bigfoot

Cullan H. posted an article on - Jan 17, 2012, 12:57 pm

It often seemed as if these patterns were only discovered a...

Baby Biggy Swings Into The Spotlight

Cullan H. posted an article on - Jan 15, 2012, 10:00 am
Juvenile Biggy or a more common primate? After all, many people unwisely have chimpanzees as pets. Could this be staged? It doesn't make too much sense for a purpotedly bipedal ape (its singular hallmark) to be well adapted to such tree-swining antics. I'm skeptical.
