Yowieocalypse: Vault 2019

"In Australia alone is to be found the Grotesque,
the Weird, the strange scribblings of Nature learning how to write.
Some see no beauty in our trees without shade, our flowers without perfume, our birds who cannot fly,
and our beasts who have not yet learned to walk on all fours.
But the dweller in the wilderness acknowledges the subtle charm of this fantastic land of monstrosities...
The phantasmagoria of that wild dreamland termed the Bush interprets itself..." - Marcus Clarke

The legend of Sasquatch won’t die.
Professional Bigfoot believers keep believing, and profiting, but they lack one thing — evidence.

Multiple red-eyed Bigfoot sightings in NC town lead to strange discovery in the woods
Multiple reports of a Bigfoot with glowing red eyes in the North Carolina town of Mocksville have been explained, and it turns out the callers weren’t imagining things.

Cryptozoomorphic: Appearances of unnatural and out-of-place animals
If we can’t readily recognize the most common animals we interact with – dogs and cats – how can cryptozoologists say that natives and experienced hunters “know” that what they saw wasn’t a typical animal but instead was Bigfoot or a mystery animal.

The Yowie of Bribie Island
Someone told me many years ago that his name is David, yes David Yowie.

And Bigfoot Said...
All too often, cryptid fans make the failed leap of logic "I don't know what that is, therefore I do know, and it's Bigfoot."

'I almost hit Hinterland Yowie': truckie claims

The Witheren Yowie, November 2018 - Timeline & Preliminary Anlaysis

Did you know that such sightings became so prominent in the 1800s that legislation recognizing the "indigenous primate" was debated in parliament?

‘Yowie threw me down a hill’: Cairns woman’s encounter raises supernatural enigma

A WOMAN has blown the lid off an encounter with a yowie she says pushed her down a hill with superhuman strength almost three decades ago...

The History of the Gold Coast Yowie

"When I hear these stories, I do get pleasantly pleased white fellas get to experience these things, that it isn't just something we have in our stories," Mr. Davies said.

I'm a Yowie Hunter

"Having never seen a yowie with my own two eyes, I'd been a little sceptical. But now, I was convinced this creature wasn't so mythical.

"Obsessed, I wanted to prove their existence and learn more about them. But my ultimate goal was to communicate with them...

The case of the Casey Conspiracies

The Casey Hathaway story has moved to its next, natural phase: lost child > sought child > found child > conspiracy theories.
It was 100 degrees below zero, they point out, and there was so much rain that one searcher bumped into an ark full of animals floating past. There’s no way that kid could have survived! All those silly professionals fell for it – even the EMTS who deduced that he was suffering from long exposure...

Reality is not what it seems: the science behind why optical illusions mess with our minds

Is this proof the Yowie exists? Man finds mysterious foul-smelling hair on fence 'torn apart by Australian bigfoot'

Scott Burnett, USC wildlife ecology lecturer: "There are a number of bona fide hair identification services so, provided that they send the hair to one of these recognised experts the report that they get back should be reliable."

David Taylor, Yowie hunter: "I'm sending the fresh sample to be tested on the Sunshine Coast, which will take about 21 days for results. If it's anything like previous times, it will be inconclusive and won't match up to any animals."

Taylor's previous results don't sound like they come from a "bona fide hair identification service." Will this be any different?

LOSING BIGFOOT

The chapter sketches out a putative ethnography of Bigfooting, detailing what we can study from analysing television programmes of the practice, but also what we lose by not being there, by not embedding ourselves in the Bigfooting community, and by not participating in their woodland expeditions.

Apparitional Experiences : A Primer on Parapsychological Research and Perspectives (2010)

Although the term is often used as a synonym for ghost, it is useful to initially define what

we mean by “apparition.” The term apparition, from the Latin word apparere (meaning “to show oneself”)... is the experience of the presence of a person or animal – living or dead – that is not actually there, which seems to occur primarily through sight, but at times can seem to occur through the other senses (sound, smell, taste, and touch).

It is our hope that when you've finished you will have a better understanding of this simple, yet highly overlooked occurrence and can present data and evidence that will be more difficult to dispute!
