1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: And Welcome back to Coast to Coast George Nori with

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 2: Lauren Coleman. Lauren, what did you think of the nineteen

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: sixty seven Patterson Gimblin film on that Bigfoot?

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's one of the best pieces of

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: evidence that we have in cryptosoology. Here you have an

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 3: incident where the horses reacted, the humans reacted. They were

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: able to be searching in the area that indigenous people

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 3: had reported bigfoot there for hundreds of years. They had

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 3: many tales, and then they were able to actually take

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 3: a film, come back the next day and take ten

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: very good footprints that weren't all the same. And those

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: are the best kind of footprints, things that actually show

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: that the foot is alive and moves around. And you know,

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: it's definitely I've written several books. I actually was thinking

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: about your show, and this is my fortieth appearance on

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: your show, and which wow. Great to dive into the

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: archives for anybody that wants to hear some of the

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: old shows. I've talked about Bigfoot before. I've talked about

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: lots of things, but Bigfoot because it's so interesting to

21
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: so many people. There's different models at the museum, and

22
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 3: I've you know, like I was talking about the Field

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: Guide the Bigfoot, a whole Bigfoot book that I talk

24
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: about the history of the creatures, and I appear in

25
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: other books, you know, writing forwards. I just wrote a

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: new forward that's coming out next year that I really

27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: look into the whole history of the word cryptozoology, when

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: it developed and when it really shows up, something that

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: people take for granted every time they say the word cryptozoology,

30
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: but believe it or not, we're finding new histories in

31
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: the words and in the when the words appeared first.

32
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: A lot of people thought it was only in the sixties.

33
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 3: It's been tracked back to the forties. Now people were

34
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: using that word. So, you know, all of this is important,

35
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: especially for a museum guy now, who I never would

36
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: have thought I was going be a director of a museum,

37
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: but I very much looked into the whole notion that

38
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: if I'm going to have a legacy, I might as

39
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: well be in charge of founding a museum and getting

40
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: all of them evidence together. Because what I started to

41
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: see is I tended to be older and older and

42
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: the young kids would come along and they were throwing

43
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: away evidence. You know, the people were coming in the

44
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: field or we're gathering some information, and then they got

45
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: frustrated and it would be thrown out. So now the

46
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: museum is filled full of I once said a conference

47
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: that I was speaking to, I said, at one point

48
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: in my life I had a choice to become a

49
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: hoarder or become a museum director, and I decided to

50
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: become a museum director. And it's worked out pretty good.

51
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: You sound as young as you did forty episodes ago.

52
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I tell that to my wife, that

53
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: she's dealing with an eighteen year old kid in front

54
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: of her. I feel like I'm eighteen year old inside.

55
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: And you know, I really am not slowing down, that's

56
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: for sure.

57
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: Let me throw some creatures your way long. Describe them

58
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: to us and what's going on with them. Let's start

59
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: with Mothman.

60
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: What is that?

61
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: Well, Mothman is a creature that's over human sized, covered

62
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: in feathers, has wings. Of course, the very important movie

63
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: that Mothman Profcies is based upon John Keel's book that

64
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: he wrote when he did investigations in West Virginia and

65
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: looked into this thing, and we've found that there's Native

66
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: American tales that go back. There's reports of it whenever

67
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: horse horse drawn carts are being going down some of

68
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 3: the mountain roads, and some huge birds go behind these

69
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: things with people in them, just like they do cars

70
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: in the sixties. And we're finding that there's lots of

71
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: stories that have been buried in old colonial times, and

72
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: so that's pretty important to us. There seems to be

73
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: a real connection there between some of these old tales

74
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: and the modern stuff. Unfortunately, the mothman's stories are filled

75
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: full of mistakes and hoaxes and other things. Everybody likes

76
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: to jump on the badwagon, and we recently in the

77
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: last ten years, have had reports supposedly from the Chicago area,

78
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: but a lot of those, believe it or not, are

79
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 3: balloons and drones and some mistakes that we always see

80
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: in the different fields. The classic mothmen are in Appalachia.

81
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: How about dog Man dog Man.

82
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: That's a lot of people are very interested in dogmen.

83
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: Of course, here again it seems like people have forgotten

84
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: that in Transylvania, reports of weir wolves have been circulating

85
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: for hundreds of years, and people have to put a

86
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: new set of clothes on it and call it dog man.

87
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 3: Dog Man doesn't seem to be I often have thought

88
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: that many people are seeing Bigfoot leaning down eating roadkill,

89
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: and people are calling these dog men. So there's little

90
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: less evidence there than there is for Bigfoot. But it

91
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: seems to be that people need to look into it,

92
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: and I support individuals, whether they call themselves crypto zoologists

93
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: or focaloist or biologists, go ahead and try to pursue it,

94
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: and let's get some evidence.

95
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: The great oldop of cabraop.

96
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: Cabras are extremely important in the Southwest United States. They're

97
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: a dog like creature. There seems to be two major

98
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: kinds of troopercabras. The ones from Hispanic Latin Marriamerica that

99
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: are on all fours and they seem to be a

100
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: lot of dogs with mange seem to be these troop

101
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: of cabras. And then we have this whole troop of

102
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: cabres that are being seen that have spiky hair and

103
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: are on two feet two legs, and they seem to

104
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: be a different kind of troopicabras. And so it's intriguing

105
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: to see the modern troop of cabras with are seen

106
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: often and people think that they're the ones that are

107
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: in comic books or something, and those are really much

108
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: different than the four legged canidsdect ape. There are different

109
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: kinds of apes all over the world. What kind with

110
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: that again, oh, orangpindeck orangpindeck. That's probably of all of

111
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: the cryptids we've talking about tonight, the one that will

112
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: be found next, I think will be the rangpindeck. The

113
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: rangpindeck are a little reddish.

114
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

115
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: Childlike almost, and they're seen in Indonesia quite a bit.

116
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 3: What well we know from anthropology already The most recent

117
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 3: new species that we need to look at as having

118
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: some connection to the rangpindeck are homophorensis, which is a

119
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: ape like creature that's very small and very short, and

120
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 3: we find that they were around here. It's actually the

121
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: truth of l the truth of leprechauns did actually exist,

122
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: and for a long time people just figured that was

123
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: all part of folklore. And to find that we actually

124
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: have skeletal remane skulls and that they were part of

125
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: what was going on in human history and human prehistory

126
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: is just totally remarkable to think that when I was

127
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: growing up, we could have never imagined that there were

128
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: really something like an Iran pindeck or a homopherensis, that

129
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: there's actually a species of men that were short men,

130
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: there were little men, there were little women, and that

131
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 3: we have to really now make room in our cosmology

132
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: for creatures that look like us but were littleer.

133
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: How about the worm.

134
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 3: The Tazi worm is in the Alps of the in Europe.

135
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 3: They're shepherds and people hurting. Some animals going up into

136
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: the upper Alps would see these creatures that are if

137
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: you're can imagine a.

138
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: Real creatures worn, yes.

139
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: They are real creatures. Everything that I've been talking about

140
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: it may go into folklore because Bernard Hardiman's once said

141
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: that any new creature that's found is fantastic, is made

142
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: into some kind of folkloric creature for humans to be

143
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: able to take it into their mind and take it

144
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: into their constructs. But Tazin worms, which are six feet

145
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: long and covered with the skin that looks like the

146
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: heel monster, have and seen. They're very real. It's not

147
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 3: something that people just put in fantasy kids books. There's

148
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 3: a you know, reports from the thirties, the twenties and

149
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: they people didn't know exactly what they are, and we

150
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: still don't know them, but they're still being seen in

151
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: these remarkably remote places around the world.

152
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: Fascinating. What is the thylos scene wolf, well.

153
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: The thilacene and this is another category of members of

154
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: the cryptozoology family. Cryptids, of course, are any of these

155
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: you know, like sea serpents, lockedness, monster, Bigfoot and so

156
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: there's tales, there's books written about them. But then you

157
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: get into these animals that we already know do exist,

158
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 3: We have them in zoology, and one of them is

159
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: the silosine. Others are like the ivory build becker. These

160
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: are creatures that have been classified, they're part of zoology

161
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 3: that they've gone extinct. So what is happening now are

162
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: cryptozoologists and zoologists are on the hunt for these creatures,

163
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: for these animals, but they they're not viable now they're

164
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: seen as an extinct animal, extinct creature that they're they're

165
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: not have not been captured yet. So the Thila scene,

166
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: which is a marsupio found in Tasmania and probably Indonesia

167
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: to be rediscovered in Indonesia have not. We haven't found

168
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: any recent ones since the forties that are alive. There's

169
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: just been sightings, four hundred sightings a year, but still

170
00:12:58,679 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: just sighting.

171
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: You have models of these beans in the museum.

172
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: Yes, Thio Sing. We have a full sized ronze model

173
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 3: looks like a you know, it looks kind of like

174
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: a wolf from the way people look at it, but

175
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: it actually is marsupial. And we have other large models.

176
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: We have full size models of the Bigfoot, one of

177
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: the newer ones that someone who is a model maker

178
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: in Hollywood donated to a giant salamander six foot long

179
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: salamander that's been reported in California. And we even sponsored

180
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: an expedition a couple of years ago in northern California.

181
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: The museum sponsored an expedition because that's what we do.

182
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: We don't get much publicity for that, but it's more

183
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: it's more important for us to casually and formally sponsor

184
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: some of these expeditions because we're always hoping that by

185
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: pushing out a lot of people wonder why we're in Maine.

186
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: We're in Maine because I'm here, but also there's a

187
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: population of individuals that support the Cryptozoology Museum all over

188
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: the world, and we just happen to have the museum

189
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: here because it's easier for us to gather all of

190
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: these pieces of evidence and keep them safe here, and

191
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: then people and people come to the museum, you know,

192
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: from Nepal, Japan, California, all those exotic places.

193
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: What is the what is the koi wolf?

194
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: The koi wolf? There are many reports now coyotes have

195
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: been reported all over the United States and encroaching into

196
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: urban areas.

197
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: But this.

198
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: Fascinating sort of subspecies or hybrid breed is wolves and

199
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: coyotes that are breeding together, and they're actually producing a

200
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: rather robust canid that's a little bit larger and sometimes

201
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: has a coat that is more a little bit darker

202
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: and has a different coloration. But they also coyotes tend

203
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: to go in packs, and these koi whos go separately

204
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: and are seen separately. But we actually have some good

205
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: evidence of those hair samples and DNA, so we're certain

206
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: we're still tracking what's going on with the koi wools.

207
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: The bird, Dodo bird is more on the edges of

208
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: it's one of those extinct species. We know that it

209
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: disappeared in the sixteen hundreds, but for one hundred years

210
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: or so after they went extinct, and dodo birds are

211
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: like giant penguins I mean pigeons. I mean they're related

212
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: to doves and pigeons, and they are like a stocky

213
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: little pigeon that's about three feet tall. And they were

214
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: seen on some of the islands off of Africa, like

215
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: I said, over one hundred years after they went extinct,

216
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: and there is a possibility that there's still may be

217
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: out there. A lot of people feel that every inch

218
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: of the Earth has been explored, but actually there are

219
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: still some remote and quite undiscovered areas. A lot of

220
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: people think about darkest Africa, but some of the newest

221
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: mammals and newest lizards are being found in Ononesia and

222
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: some of Oceania, some of the small islands west of Hawaii.
