Various interviews I’ve had with St. Johns River and Lake Monroe area residents who remember the news reports from the 1950s still do feel that the reports were merely “Northern” tourists who saw unusual (but known) animals in the local waters. The number one candidate: manatee. Manatees generally do stay below the surface, but have [...]

In the quest for cryptids, various lines of inquiry usually are pursued to discover the realm of mundane observations that may have been converted into the extraordinary. Today, I look at the role of crocodilians, especially the American alligator, in any confusion with Pinky. Since coming to Florida, including observations this year, I’ve now viewed [...]

It seems most appropriate that as I find myself trying to unravel the tales and sightings of a decidedly unique series of sightings of a seemingly “American dinosaur species,” a living one at that, my thoughts would turn to the late dino hunter, Scott Thomas Norman. Scott would have been 44 years old today, March [...]

Sometimes when investigating cryptids, it’s not how you ask but who and what you are asking about that gets some more insightful answers. It was a good day in the Pinky expedition journey. On Thursday, March 13, 2008, besides checking out more wildlife along the St. Johns River and at the Zoological Park of Sanford, [...]

Since I’m exploring the Florida wilds of the St. Johns River, looking for evidence or indications of Pinky, the living dinosaur, I thought I’d take a side trek into civilization to visit Dinosaur World. Located just north of Tampa, it is off I-4, at Exit 17 in Plant City. It took me several hours of [...]

My search for Pinky continues. But I am becoming convinced from my exploration of the central St. Johns River area that Pinky reports are a probable event of the recent past, and mostly a foggy memory, at best. No current knowledge of these animals or cryptids is contemporarily apparent. The draft of the river in [...]

I only have a few moments as the evolved dinosaurs (birds) have overwhelmed my travel log, to record some thoughts before I get back out there. My boat excursions yesterday, captained separately by Rebecca and later Peter (out of the Blue Springs State Park), local natives well-educated in the local fauna and flora along the [...]

The cryptozoology artist Bill Rebsamen remembers Scott Norman. Cryptozoology has lost a passionate heart in the person of Scott Norman. I met Scott 10 years ago after I purchased my first Mac for home use and tried out a free membership to AOL. Within the first week I had used AOL’s search engine to locate [...]

His family has informed me that Scott’s funeral will now occur at 11:00 am Pacific time, on Monday, March 10, 2008, at the Petra [...]

People are remembering Scott Norman in their own ways. Reopn researcher J. D. Whitcomb has sent along the following contribution to Cryptomundo: I too was shocked to learn of Scott’s passing. To those who knew nothing about Scott except for his apparent failure to find a living dinosaur, we can correct a misunderstanding: Scott did [...]

Who is Scott T. Norman? Those not involved in cryptozoology won’t know, and perhaps won’t care. But they should. Scott, who died this past week from a blood clot at the too-young age of 45, is an example of an overlooked figure in science these days, the dedicated amateur enthusiast. Such people have always been [...]

Scott Norman It is very difficult for me to write these words about my friend and brother in Christ, Scott Norman. John Kirk and Loren Coleman has really said everything there is to say about Scott, a man who deepy impacted all of us who knew him. I corresponded with Scott via email for about [...]

Loren has written a truly wonderful summary of the life of Scott Norman, our mutual friend and fellow cryptozoological investigator elsewhere here at Cryptomundo. I and all of Scott’s friends are deeply indebted to Loren for such a glowing tribute. Scott and I had been friends for 10 years and as Loren has written, we [...]
