Cryptid Alert! The “Jacobs Creature”

Is it a Yeti or a Skinny Mangy Bear?

Nick Brown [ Fri Oct 26 2007 1:10 PM ]

R. Jacobs captured images of what may be a baby Yeti in NW Pennsylvania. You can see the pictures and read more than you’d care to know about them on the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) site. Cryptozoologist (and master of self-promotion) Loren Coleman has a photo of a skinny mangy bear to compare with Jacobs’ latest blobsquatch. Perhaps the Jacobs Creature is related to other recent Pennsylvania ape sightings. Whatever the case, Coleman appears to be feuding with BFRO... Can’t we all just love the Yeti and get along?

A few things to ponder [ Fri Oct 26 2007 7:31 PM ]

A few things to ponder: The person that wrote the above blog was writing faster than he was reading.
The Jacobs creature is rather skinny, and most critical thinking folks can clearly see it is a mangy bear. What are being ignored in the photos: the TWO BEAR CUBS that are often cropped out of most recent publications of the images.
The Penn Ape sighting is a historical one, not a recent one.
Also, some pointing is made to a blog by Craig Woolheater and then it is said that I am having a feud with the BFRO. I have no feud with the BFRO. I was responding unemotionally to the data in my separate blogs. Wrong guy, wrong blog.
As to self-promoting, why take that dig? I don't know an author or television personality that hasn't been called worse. Keep in mind, cryptozoologists are not wealthy and ends hardly ever meet. You must have me confused with Stephen King. :-)
It's not like this page at alibi.com isn't surrounded by advertising. I just home registering to post this doesn't end up with me getting reams of spam.
Cheers,
Loren Coleman

Loren Coleman! [ Fri Oct 26 2007 8:18 PM ]

It's an honor to hear from you, to say the least! I apologize for both the dig and the shoddy research, so thank you for clearing up the factual errors in my comedic hack job. I obviously misinterpreted the blog trail I was following. I'm interested in cryptozoology, and I must say that you're one of my idols. To have you actually respond is as far fetched, to me, as a response from Paris Hilton. And, yes, I was thinking about King.
The Jacobs Creature is hard for the layman to interpret. The limb on the left looks like the hind leg of a bear, but if it's the arm... it looks like a little bigfoot man bending over... except that his arm would be much, much longer than his leg and his bicep would be bigger than his thigh.
I experienced a Class B sighting (BFRO terminology) in the Jemez Mountains about 25 years ago - hence my fascination. BFRO conducted a field expedition here in August, but there's nothing on their site. Have you heard or read anything about that trip?
Thanks again for dropping in. You're not going to get any spam from us - those advertisers are almost all local and our IT guys make it a priority to keep the site safe.

Yeti maybe [ Wed Dec 22 2010 3:27 PM ]

I think the image could be a baby Yeti. Especially when a year later measurements from a survey of the site proved it wasn't a bears proportions. I seen the article in Scientriffic magazine.
The 2 bear cubs were on the BFRO from the begining and they were at the site half an hour before the young Yeti. It could have been following them for food and witnesses from there said they never could get any more photos of the bear. Very odd when there's bait. Then there was activity and recordings of Yeti like sounds during investigations immediateily following the collection of the photos.

He's so crypotzoological, Loren Coleman is a commenter. [ Thu Dec 23 2010 11:44 AM ]

He doesn't always blog about yetis, but when he does, he prefers a real one. He's the internet's most interesting man.
