CRYPTOLINK: Footage: Bigfoot Stalks Kids Playing In Treehouse?
A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.
This footage surfaced a few years ago, and Adam Bird just reposted it on YouTube. The defunct group, FB/FB, estimated the height of the creature to be around 8ft tall.

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in.

TODAY'S BIG CAT ROUND UP
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject.
There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.
The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.
GOODNESS ME IT'S THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN
The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
The house always seems very empty when the kids
have gone home. I never expected to be a family man and so I never knew how
much I would enjoy it. Shosh and Gavin went home to Staffordshire yesterday
evening. I spent most of the evening working on Gonzo Weekly, which will be out
later today. I then sat down and watched documentaries on The Doors and Jimi
Hendrix on BBCi Player. I hadn't realised that Elvis's bass player was on LA
Woman, and it was nice to see the archive film of the band in action, but it was
the Hendrix documentary that was the real eye-opener. I had never seen the full
Woodstock set before, and was always under the impression that he had baffled
the crowd with a plethora of unreleased material. Not so. He played a shoddy
greatest hits set rather badly, with an under-rehearsed and rather messy band.
Even the much touted 'Star Spangled Banner' was nowhere near as impressive when
heard as a coda to a very lacklustre version of 'Voodoo Chile'. OK I was
somewhat in my cups, but I was rather underwhelmed by the whole
thing.

* The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work or even just say hello, please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow....
* The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html
* We should probably mention here that some of our posts are links to
things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not
responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest
guv!
* Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others), is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus...did we mention the orange cat?
