Cryptozoology toys are in!

The Christmas season is over, but that doesn't mean you can't keep giving! The newest cryptozoology toy set is just what you need to make a little cryptozoologist out of your son or daughter. The set includes figures of Mothman, Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, El Chupacabra, and the Jersey Devil. Such sites as Entertainment Earth are offering pre-ordering opportunities for when the toys come out in February. Since the figurines haven't come out yet, now's the best time to buy em' up, so act now!

Portland, Maine's International Museum

On August 15, 2003, Loren Coleman compiled some of his Paranormal finds and put them all into one building in Portland, Maine and called it The International Cryptozoology Museum. The museum includes many toys and knick-knacks from all over the place as well as an eight-foot tall Bigfoot statue. Coleman also 100 Yeti, Bigfoot, Yowie, and other footcasts, some hoaxes... and some not. He also managed to get props and figures from TV shows and movies such as 'Mothman Prophecies' Pleasant Point police costume and PT Barnum's three-foot tall Fiji Mermaid, as well as the Freaky Links' 22' wide Thunderbird.

Bigfoot Returns

In June, a 30 inch statue of Bigfoot was stolen from the Niki's Quick Six off Route 56 in Spring Church, Pa., about 20 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Nicole Hosak, owner of the convenience store, said that the most depressing part of the whole affair was that the Bigfoot statue was the thing that everybody loved to look at, young and old. Nicole had received this statue as a Christmas present from her husband. Last week, the man behind the theft was caught and she got her Mini-Sasquatch back... well, at least another one. A man named Craig Woolheater had read the story on a site and took pity. He called Nicole and promised that if it wasn't returned, he would get her a new Bigfoot statue. Police caught and charged Joshua E. Duncan, 32, of Ford City with the theft and tried to get him to return it but to no avail.
Upon learning this, Woolheater kept to his word. He called the manufacturer, Design Toscano, which donated a replacement. . Woolheater and an official from the Bigfoot Society drove two hours with the replacement Bigfoot to the Niki's Quick Six. Even though she knew he was coming, it was still a huge shock to see Woolheater walk in with a Bigfoot statue.
This is a gerat story with a happy ending. But the whole thing is kind of like the real thing. The search for Bigfoot, I mean. He comes, and he goes, and he comes back again. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Seriously.

As all of the Bigfoot fans of the U.S.A know, the Bigfoot carcass found in a cooler in Georgia was a hoax. When some Bigfoot searchers found a carcass of the man-ape, they put it in a cooler and sold it for an unknown amount of money.




The Bigfoot searchers who created the hoax got our hopes up, but who says we can't laugh about it a little? As the cartoon above shows us, we should laugh and joke about the mistakes that people make and that we shouldn't dwell on what happened in the past because the future is firmly ahead of us.

And Then There Were More...

Those of you who have read my blog in the past have probably read my segment on the caught Chupacabra. Well.... they're back. Now, for those of you who haven't ever read my blog before and were just surfing the net and just happened upon this blog I call Crypto-Blog, the Chupacabra that me and the cryptozoology and paranormal sciences of the world have come to recognize as more of a coyote kind of creature has found it's way back to Texas. Study the video.

You'll notice that some of the footage taken here was also in my last blog item video. They talked about the last time a Chupacabra came to Texas. On Friday, August eighth, Corporal Brandon Reidel and his partner were checking fence lines when they spotted the creature. While observing the beast, Reidel went into his squad car and turned on the camera attached to the inside. Reidel and his partner had described the Chupacabra as having a long snout, short front legs, and long hind legs. At first, Reidel said it was a coyote, but when he looked more closely at the footage, he saw these characteristics. They taped the Chupacabra, until it disappeared into the brush. The sheriff says he's happy that Cuero is starting to get some attention for being the Chupacabra capital of the world. This is not, however, good news for the goats.

A Suggestion for a Paranormal Encyclopedia

You have your books on UFOs and Yeti's and other cryptids too, but this book has it all!!! The Encyclopedia of Pseudoscience is simply superb!! With 416 pages of good information including a bibliography, index, and some photo credits, I think that Dr. William F. Williams, a teacher at the Department of Science, Technology, and Society at Pennsylvania State University and author, simply outdid himself with this awesome book!!!! The Encyclopedia of Pseudoscience lists some of the most famous cryptids, but mostly it has unexplained phenomenon and some that is not that unexplained like acupuncture. It also includes things like hoaxes and well-known monsters like vampires. It's a good bedtime reader and it's one of those books that you can just sorta flip through. It's good for bringing along if your one of those people who goes into the field to visit ghost hauntings and other places like that. It's a great book!

Montauk Mystery Monster Baffles Millions

It looks creepy. It looks gruesome It looks like . . . it has a beak? The widely spoken of and utterly creepy (ughhhhhh) Montauk Monster is REALLY big news. The Montauk Monster (as the name suggests) washed up on the beach of Montauk and everybody who was around it came to see it. One of the witnesses said that it looked like a dog with a beak and that he wouldn't be happy if it popped up next to him in the water. This company that was selling this new energy drink put up an advertisement saying that anybody who caught a live Montauk Monster would get a year supply of the drink. To make things even more puzzling (as if it wasn't enough already) nobody knows where the heck the beast is. Last anyone saw of it, this guy was taking it away saying, "I'm going to mount it on my wall."

What is the What-Is-It?

I've recently read the book, Escape: The Story of the Great Houdini by Sid Fleischman, and there was a question I was asking, and that's going to be today's topic. What is the What-Is It? Back when it was discovered, people would call it the What-Is-It. I think it looks a bit like a smaller version of Nessie. One single saved photo of the beast was all they had of it. I think they should have taken more shots of the creature because later generations might have wanted to see it. Later generations like, oh, I don't know.... US!!!! We, the people who are fascinated with and dedicate are lives to creatures and phenomenon of the unknown. But, anyways, I just think Houdini himself is a paranormal phenomenon. So in conclusion, the sea monster shall live on as Houdini's playing of Jonah in a whale (or in this case, What-Is-It.)

Italy: Home To Exotic Wildlife, like Unicorns

Italy is a captivating place. Places to see, things to do, and feelings of romance to be felt. Italy has everything... including unicorns. This is actually a Roe Deer (nicknamed "Unicorn") who was born with one horn unlike his brother, who was born with two (I know I'm making a two-horned deer a big deal even though every deer is supposed to have one, but hey, let's focus on the unicorn, shall we?) Unicorn was born in the town of Prato near Florence, Italy. But here's the thing, Unicorn isn't the only one-horned deer that ever lived, but they're rare and Unicorn is a rare case because his horn is in the middle of his forehead when normal one-horned deer (I can't believe I'm calling them normal) usually has the horn on one side of his head, so he's pretty rare. I can't say that I've ever seen one of these remarkable one-horned deer, but they sound awesome!!!

Big Bee Bothers British Boy Before Bombarding Bystanders

Bees typically die after stinging. That wasn't the case this time, though. A Dorset, England, mother and her son, Helene and Magnus Marshall, were walking one day when Helene heard a horrible noise coming from Magnus and Magnus said that there was a fly in his hair, so Helene went to go check it out and there was this HUGE bee in his hair trying to dig into his head. Helene picked it out and when it came out it flew into the air and went straight for the back of her head. She was really scared and asked another woman that was getting out of her car to help her and she did, but the bee came back and went into the woman's hair. Helene helped her get it out and afterwards they beat it to death. Like I said in the beginning, usually in Dorset after one sting the bees die. Helene said that it was probably from somewhere else. Also, I know you think that Helene doesn't count as a bystander if she's also the victim, bit Magnus got attacked first and the woman in the car had nothing to do with it in the first place except for when she helped the Marshalls.

Looks Like a Hoax to Me

Many of you who surf YouTube to look for some good Nessie footage might remember this video.








It looks sorta like a hoax to me, but that's just one man's opinion. At first I thought "Jeez. They must have done a lot to do that." But then, I looked closer I decided it might be real, but the chances to me are very slim. I thought that it didn't really look like the real deal, and of course I may be wrong. But I'm not going to bet on it.

What's Beneath Lake Pepin?

Have you heard the news? There's a monster at the bottom of Lake Pepin in Minnesota! Three years ago, a man Steve Raymond said that he saw some sort of creature with three humps and he believes that it may have just been a log. When he took a closer look, the log went under water. Good thing before it went under water he took a picture. When he developed the picture he said that it looked a lot like a sea serpent. Three years later he can't find the picture, but they at least gave him a name. Maybe not a fierce name, but a name that fits. He was named Peppy.

Has the Loch Ness Monster Moved On?

You wonder what happened. You wonder what happened to those now-skeptical Nessie hunters who at one point had been on the hunt for adventure and Nessie. What was it that drove them from their pursuit? Well, some people think that Nessie has... died.
From the beginning people have always been a bit skeptical and have always had their doubts. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but why now? That's a question that has already, to some people, been answered. There have been very strange theories about what Nessie really is from swimming deer to giant eels, but the strangest I've heard is the theory that was started in 2006 by a museum curator by the name of Neil Clark. He had noted that a circus came to Inverness in 1933 and was run by a guy named Bertram Mills and he decide that since Nessie was in the papers so much, he would take advantage of the situation and offer 20,000 pounds for her capture. Well, Neil Clark had a theory that one of Mills' elephants is Nessie swimming in Loch Ness and its head and back are the humps and its trunk is the eerie head that people have been talking about for years.


One of the many respected veteran Nessie hunters is a man named Robert Rines and I have written about him in another one of my blog items. Check it out.

Come to the Bigfoot Lodge! Home of the Sasqutch Burger!

If you think that you can eat any burger possible, then you're wrong. No matter how many Big Macs or Woppers you eat, nothing will compare to the Sasquatch Burger found only on the stoves, andon the plates, of the Bigfoot Lodge in Memphis, Tennessee. The Sasquatch Burger weighs a supreme total of seven and a half pounds!!!! That's more than I've consumed in 3 days!!! Whoever feels that they are up to the task (which I certainly wouldn't be), the people at the Bigfoot Lodge have a challenge for whoever can finish the Sasquatch Burger in 60 minutes or less. The last documented participant of the challenge was a 21-year-old guy named Patrick Bertoletti. Just to tell all you guys who are keeling over trying to imagine themselves trying to consume this enormous burger, fries are optional, so you don't have to try to eat that last bit.

What such phenomena could spread rumors? Who else, but Bigfoot!

There was many a rumor being spread in Hays, Kansas about strange footprints being spotted around there. A certain Ruben Horseman, a volunteer fire chief and well-known fly-on-the-wall of Hays, as you would've guessed, heard the rumor as easy as taking a breath of fresh air. When he heard it, he knew perhaps he should go check it out. With only a camera, two friends, and a hunger for some good info only a man like him could feel, he set out into Mission Canyon, which is just south of Hays. There, they found 25 footprints and numerous hand prints on the wall, one being surrounded by blood and hair, but what they found soon after was one of the most important pieces of the puzzle... I was a half-eaten coyote. Apparently, the coyote had been grabbed by the legs and bitten through the middle, according to Horseman. But, I'm sorry to say that it was a hoax. One of the Tribune's staff, Anthony Shambo, confessed that it was his younger brother, Reno Shambo, trying to pull a prank on his young son. Sorry to break it to you, folks.

Wolverines found in Tahoe. Usual Chupacabra sighting? Not likely.

Wolverines are commonly found in Tahoe? Whoever tells you that is a complete moron. California wolverines (scientists believe) became extinct in 1922. Wolverines aren't known to live in Tahoe so the closest thing to it would be a California wolverine. What was this strange creature? The wolverine was found in the Tahoe National Forest captured on a remote camera and it didn't appear to have been from California or Washington. US Forest service scientists told us this. They also told us that it resembled wolverines that they had seen in the Rocky Mountains, but it's not quite clear where it came from... or how it got there. Michael Schwartz, a research ecologist and the genetics team leader for the Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station, basically said that this was a gene similar to wolverines in the Rocky Mountains, Montana, and Wyoming and they can also be found in Canada and Alaska. This is so cool. I never knew wolverines couldn't be found in Tahoe.

Is It Really The Champ?

Somehow, the monster of Lake Champlain has once again, stunned, amazed, and mystified his fans. Two fishermen that were fishing in the lake had caught some of the beast on camera. They even got video.





The two, as they put it in the video, "not-crazy guys" gave their pictures and video to two retired FBI analysts and they said that there was nothing to their knowledge to prove that this picture was really a hoax, but one of the videos they took didn't exactly support their theory. It didn't look at all like there was anything there in that shot. Once again, another lake monster has befuddled us.

Derry Area Sees Fabled Man-Ape

The Township of Derry has many events to offer. They have festivals of all sorts, but there was one event that they people of Derry were not prepared for. During one of the events taking place, people claim to have caught their eye on what appeared to be a man-ape. That's right readers. we're talking about Bigfoot!!! The local person in charge of strange occurrences, Stan Gordon, had been the local expert on all unexplained phenomenons since 1959 had been taking notes on Bigfoot, and a lot of other cryptids. Last year, Stan's notes traced Bigfoot, with the help of the reports he had gotten, to Westmoreland County, more specifically, Chestnut Ridge. By what Stan says, the local residents of the county see strange footprints and noises that scare their pets.

Sasquatch Music Festival

Sasquatch and music don't go together, right? (Well, actually, there's an exception for songs about Sasquatch.)
Well, anyways, there's going to be a concert called "The Sasquatch Music Festival". It's gong to feature bands like R.E.M. and Modest Mouse. There are a lot more, but I won't take up all of this page to tell you them. The music festival will be held at George, Washington (laugh if you like, but I'm serious) on May 24-26. But, sadly, there might be though, but there probably won't be any mention of Bigfoot. But, that's still no reason to miss out on this awesome event.

It's a Komodo Dragon, it's a Chameleon it's... Lizard Man?

Though no one has actually seen him, Lizard Man is claimed to have returned in the bone -chilling winter of February 29, 2008 in the town of Bishopville, South Carolina.
One Thursday morning..... it happened. "I woke up, came outside, and saw the front of our car all chewed up"said Bishopville citizen Dixie Rawson. Then, it dawned on her that this could be the fabled "Lizard Man" and his dirty work. The Lizard Man was last spotted almost two decades ago at the local "Scape Ore" swamp. To find out more got to WIS News Columbia, South Carolina swamp monster.

What to do in order to be an official cryptozoologist

I was searching for something to blog about when I spotted something called How To Become a Cryptozoologist. Their way is not what I'd choose to do, but it's a pretty good way. In my opinion, you should start from scratch. You know, read up on some cryptids and cryptozoologists. Then, start to actually search for them and then maybe you either join a cryptozoological group like BCSCC, or, make up your own. But, I still think that the guy's online way isn't a bad way either. Actually, the stuff they recommend is what you should do LATER. At least in my opinion. Like, one of the things the guys recommended was after joining a cryptozoological group, go on an actual expedition.

UC Berkeley, I see Cripplefoot

Look out!! Bigfoot's at Berkeley!! No. Just kidding. But this hilarious joke (no matter how funny it is) doesn't explain this question, what did leave footprints at Berkeley? That's exactly what Marc Centin, an exhibition designer at Hearst Museum, and Sherrilyn Roush, an associate professor at UC Berkeley want to know. The picture to the right shows the footprints casted by the late anthropologist, Grover Krantz, which he donated in 1970. The casting shows one normal print (normal, meaning normal for a Big-footed cryptid.) and the other is sorta deformed (Yes. I know it's already deformed being big.)
In my opinion, the deformed (do I have to go over this again?) foot might just be messy casting. But, who am I to judge the cryptozoological mysteries of this world.

Speaking at the Belfast Library

Sorry this is on such short notice, but Loren Coleman is going to be giving a lecture on his life as a cryptozoologist and how he became interested et cetera et cetera. He is also going to be lecturing about what he has learned on his travels about cryptids and Cryptozoology all together.
He will be holding his lecture at the Belfast Library. It will be held at 6:00 pm. This program is free and open to all ages. For more information contact the library at 338-3884, ext. 24. I think it's in the UK.






Sorry I didn't blog about anything these past few days and it's great to be back!!!

Is the new r.c. Nessie such a good thing?

Cryptozoologists are wondering: Is the new r.c. Loch Ness Monster going to make children happy, or make cryptozoologists everywhere crazy? The Takara toy company has released a radio controlled Nessie that goes 5 m.p.h. and dips underwater. Cryptozoologists ask: is this going to cause more Nessie hoaxes? The toy may turn out like the incident with the surgeon's photo, one of the most famous Nessie hoaxes. At least in my opinion it might. Loren Coleman thinks the same as me. He says that the toy might not be clearly seen on foggy nights and cause a ruckus. Of course, there was already a Bigfoot toy made and that caused a few mishaps, but we learn from our mistakes. People have already learned it is good to check it, in case it's a hoax, but Loren Coleman also says that it might be harder to make out.

Oh my gosh!!! It's Bigfoot on Mars!!!! Not so much...

Does this thing look like Bigfoot. Yes. It does LOOK like Bigfoot, but actually, it isn't really what you think it is . The photo was taken by Spirit, one of NASA's Mars rovers. But, there remains a question still lingering in the air, what is that thing? Well, sorry to disappoint you, but the unknown thing is actually just a rock. A 15 ft. naturally sculpted rock (at least according to Spirit's picture it is.) The only reason you think this thing is Bigfoot is because of a psychological phenomenon called Pareidolia. Pareidolia is when our minds try to figure out something that you can't quite make out, but have a hunch what it is.

50 Thylacine in 50 Days

Over a period of 50 days, stretching from '64 to '08, Thylacine have been appearing on roads in front of bikers and pedestrians, all of them not being able to catch this elusive creature on camera. Why? Well, I bet YOU don't go walking around all the time with a camera in your pocket. ..... Fine! Maybe cell phones DO have built in cameras. Even so, by the time you would have your cell phone on the camera setting the creature would have disappeared. So there.
The Thylacine may just have been foxes, or stray dogs, or something, but that won't stop the investigation. They could be out there still and we wouldn't even know it. To see more details click on this link: Thylacine Story

This is one great song!!!

The song was called "Bigfoot" (Exclamation point included.)
And in my opinion,
this is one of the best songs I've ever heard!! Really. I'm serious. This is good stuff right here. In fact maybe you should listen to it to. But, guess what? This song is about the guy to the right. That's right! It's about Bigfoot!!! This is a song by the The Weakerthans. This is a band I've just heard of. None the less, they're really good!!! To all the people who like music AND cryptozoology, LISTEN TO THIS SONG!!! Trust me, it's good. I think this is from the point of view of Roger Patterson, the man who made the Bigfoot video and got proved a hoax.

The Ivan Mackerle Story

Ivan Mackerle, noted Czech adventurer and seeker of creatures like Bigfoot and Nessie and strange plants as well (hey! I guess that makes him pretty much a cryptozoologist!) is questioning all he has done. For 30 years (and Mackerle being 65) Mackerle and a band of friends have traveled all around the world seeking out cryptids, lost kingdoms, hidden treasures, et cetera et cetera. "I've been doing this for a LONG time" said Mackerle while recounting some of his cryptozoological escapades. He had said that most people settle down, have children, and make a considerable wage, but he says he feels he has the right to follow his own dreams. Dude's got the juice!!!

Argument over whether it is a wolf or a fox? Now you don't have to!

All of the arguments over what kind of pet you have is over!!! (Well at least it will be in 5 years). In 5 years, the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding people hope that they will be able to develop a hand-held device that when a DNA sample of an animal is put on a small strip, will tell you what animal it is. Australian museums, botanic gardens, and the CSIRO have DNA-tested 2000 species of moths and butterflies, 700 species of fish and 300 species of birds for the project. "It could be a hair or a feather" said Dr. Paul Herbert, the director of the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding. In my opinion (and yes this is B.T. Makishima talking) this could revolutionize the way we look at cryptozoology today. I got this information from an article in cryptozoology.com

A couple of recommendations for some websites

Another few recommendation for those who really don't want to read a book, but are pretty good on the computer, here's a couple of recommendations (and I'm sure you've all heard of these): Cryptozoology.com, Paranormal News, and a good blog to go to is Crypto-Blog: News and Reports from the Realm of Cryptozoology.

I hope you find them interesting!!!

Uncontacted indians spotted!!!

On October 1, 2007, 21 uncontacted Indians have been spotted over one of the most remote parts of the Peruvian rainforest. They were first seen on the shores of the Las Pierdras river in Peru's south-eastern Amazon. They left their "houses" (if that's what you could call them) on the beach to watch the plane chartered by Peru's Environment Agency, fly by. The second time one of the Agency planes passed by, an Indian woman passed by with arrows and a little boy that was with her was gesturing aggressively. "This is the first time we've seen them" said said Peru's national Indian organization AIDESEP. Survival director Stephen Corry wants the Indians to live with Americans and live like Americans do because he feels like they could have a better life in America.

A ghost? A Bug? An angel? what is it?

At a Marathon service station in Parma, Ohio, on Sunday, November 11, a strange blue blob was caught on the surveillance camera. It flew around, then stayed still in the air for 30 minutes..... and then moved. After that, it disappeared. And then, when another car drove in, the thing was on the car's windshield. The owner of the gas station, Amed Abudaaria played it over twice to make sure he was seeing it right. When the customers saw the ghost they started conversing about what it was amongst each other. "It gave me the creeps" commented one of the customers. "I think an angel has appeared here"said another. The fuzziness of the object was due to the proximity of the camera. The bluish glow, at first it was considered to be a sign of supernatural activity, but after a lot of speculation, we have decided that it was just some sort of bug, and the light was reflecting from the neon sign.

What happened during the Lawndale Incident?

Right now I'm speaking on behalf of all the people who don't know. What happened during the Lawndale Incident? Now, on behalf of myself, the Lawndale Incident was when on July 25, 1977, in Lawndale, Illinois, two gigantic birds commonly known in the cryptozoology world as Thunderbirds picked up ten-year old Marlon Lowe right out of his backyard. Luckily they dropped him, just a few feet off the ground soon after probably due to the screams of his mother and six other neighbors.

My recommendation for a book for beginners

My recommendation for beginners in the field of cryptozoology who want a book to read about is "Cryptozoology A to Z". I know, I know, it sounds like a little kids book. But, if you don't believe me, check out this info. First of all, it is 258 pages long, second, it alphabetizes the names and histories of the cryptids , and third, well, I think no little kid would understand ANY of it. Its authors are Loren Coleman, who is a genius in the cryptozoology world, and Jerome Clark, who is another wonderful cryptozoologist to learn about.

A sewer monster in Denver?

Just in: It turns out that in a December in Denver, a sewer monster was caught on an underwater camera. It was caught on camera in the Crestview water system. "It seemed to be hiding from the water" said sewer worker Randy Ferguson. "It was like it was keeping its tentacles away from the water, too". The discovery was in a pipe near 76th and Pecos. Randy and his partner, Mike Parker asked the Colorado Division of Wildlife because in all of the 20 years they had worked they had never seen anything like it. The aquatic specialist that was trying to find out what it was finally confirmed that it was a Bryozoan. It was also confirmed that the species was 350 million years old. Bryozoans aren't harmful, but they could maybe cause us a problem by clogging up the pipes

Is the Chupacabra real?

On February 6, 2008, a Chupacabra was caught and killed. At least, that's what they named the mysterious "monster". It was a strange, coyote like animal with a greyish color to support that it was probably not a coyote, or at least, maybe it wasn't...

Late last year they had sent the DNA of the creature to Texas State University, but all they could come up with was that it was some sort of wolfish thing. Then, they sent it to the University of California, this time with a tooth and tissue sample and they said that it was some sort of mutt. On it's mother's side it was a coyote and on its dad's side it was some sort of Mexican wolf. The media is still coming down to the little town of Cuero, Texas, the place where it all started.
Since then, people have been making and selling T-shirts, which have been very popular since there may be actual proof of the Chupacabra's existence. Some people are selling cheap knock-offs on Ebay for three times the price. Legal action has been made to prevent this.

Bigfoot sighted in Pennsylvania

Last year on November 1, Bigfoot was caught on camera by Rick Jacobs, using a camera with an automatic trigger. He said " I'd never seen any thing like it". Soon after, Rick took the photo he took to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. It appears to be a primate-like animal. In my opinion, it appears to be a juvenile Sasquatch," Paul Majeta of the bigfoot group told Fox News.
However, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has a more conventional opinion. Agency spokesman Jerry Feaser said conservation officers routinely trap bears to be tagged and often see animals that look like the photos.

One professor's last hunt for Nessie

I was reading The Boston Globe the other day and came across this fascinating story.
It was about this professor who saw Nessie years ago and ever since then, he has been going back regularly to confirm his sighting. He goes with sonar equipment and it has picked up large, moving objects in the water.But, he hasn't had any luck recently. This makes him think that perhaps Nessie has passed away. He is going back one more time to try to make one last desperate grasp on whether Nessie has died, or is, or was, real at all.
