Hmmm…
Due to the all the craziness circling around "Finding Bigfoot," I've been looking at Cryptomundo a bit closer. I did find this gem entitled "Zooforms and Outer Edge Creatures" :
http://www.cryptomundo.com/cry…..outeredge/
"Therefore, just to answer continuing questions about my first two books, The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, with Jerome Clark, yes, they have been republished. And yes, they reflect our youthful theories, long ago revised or thrown overboard. But the reports, sightings, and some connections still ring true, decades later. Some have even written that “Clark and Coleman” set off the psychosocial ufological theorizing in Europe and the surviving zooform movement in the UK today, with our books and writings on such things as the tulpas, way back in the 1970s."
This was written and posted by Loren Coleman on May 30, 2011. Five days later…Mr Redfern's article on tulpas appears. Coincidence? I'm sure it is. Positive it is. Hmmm…anyway…
Let us take a quick look at what Mr Redfern is offering us:
"So, back to the first paragraph of this article: How do we secure proof that crypto-creatures do exist? The stark reality of the situation is that proof may be impossible to obtain – because there may be nothing tangible to find. That doesn’t mean people aren’t seeing anything. They most assuredly are. But, I will leave you with this question: How do we secure evidence for the existence of something that may, essentially, be an externalized, ethereal life-form created by one of the strangest mysteries of all time, the human brain?"
First off, is a "crypto-creature" a cryptid? Is there a difference?
Externalized…ethereal…life-forms…created by the human brain. I honestly do not know how to respond to that. How do we secure evidence of this? *shrugs* Ask Harry Potter to do it? Look for clues in the Labyrinth ? Hmmm…wasn't there an X-Files show on this? A tulpa created to enforce rules in a gated community or something like that (hey…I didn't write the script :P ).
Zooforms died a tragic death here in the states. I wonder why they still hang on in Europe?
