It is ok to be a skeptic as long as the person can keep an open mind .
I for one have doubts but I read about evidence and sightings by people who are not cranks. True the eyes some times can play trick on you under certain conditions BUT when more than one person see’s the same thing one must wonder……hope he continues his work.

Great article. I think this Kornfield fellow sounds like a really interesting guy! I really like these personality profiles of people involved with cryptozoology. Keep them coming!

I’m confused.. for years I have heard nothing but complaints that scientists ignore and ridicule cryptozoology.

If that’s so, what are scientists such as Kornfield and UT biologist Mike Forstner (who did recent DNA analysis on a Texas chupacabra) doing? Sure, some scientists ignore and scoff at cryptozoology, but some scientists also scoff at HIV causing AIDS, global warming, and many other things. Doesn’t mean that all of them do, and the tired old complaints about science ignoring crytpids should be revised in light of examples like Kornfield and Forstner.
