BIGFOOT IN AMERICA AND CHINA: A CONVERSATION ABOUT WILDMEN

At the beginning of June Peter Rogerson wrote a review of Joshua Blu Buhs' book Bigfoot: The Life and Times of a Mystery:
(http://pelicanist.blogspot.com/2009/06/joshua-blu-buhs.html).
Peter thought this was an excellent book, describing it as "likely to the be the definitive history of the Bigfoot of the imagination for some considerable time" and concluding "Buhs' study is very much in the Magonian psychosocial tradition, even to the practice of the dreaded cult of librarianship, in that his expeditions are to remote and barely accessible archives, rather than remote valleys and mountain peaks. Here however he meets Bigfoot as it once was, before the numerous revisionings."

JOHN KEEL, 1930 - 2009


We hear with great sadness that John Keel, probably the most important figure in the development of ufology and Forteanism in the 1970s and 1980s, died at a nursing home in New York on 3rd July.
