 Ivan T. Sanderson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivan Terrance Sanderson (January 30, 1911– February 19, 1973) was a naturalist and writer born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Sanderson was also interested in the probable biological basis to reports of extraterrestrial sightings, some of which he felt might be amoeba-like outer space animals.
Today Sanderson is especially remembered for two hard-to-find classics of nature writing, Animal Treasure (a report of an expedition to the jungles of then-British West Africa), and Caribbean Treasure (an account of an expedition to various Caribbean islands and British Guyana).

 Wudewasa - Wudéwásá
Ivan Sanderson believed that after the 16th century the memory of genuine (hominid) early wodewoses became indistinct and that much confusion existed between this folk memory and accounts of newly discovered primates in the tropics.
Ivan T. Sanderson went on to also pen a report in which he discusses the Wudewasa, or hairy Primitives of Ancient Europe.
Sanderson continues, "The crude clubs carried by the Wudewasa types are invariably of the same form and size, and are nearly always carried in the left hand, even if the right is free.

 Ivan T. Sanderson (1911-1973) A Biography
Ivan Sanderson investigated these and failed to identify the hoaxed elements of the reports.
He was a British subject who chose to live in the U.S.A. During his life Ivan T. Sanderson was first a nature writer and then avid fortean author, devoting his later books and articles to mysterious natural phenomena of all kinds.
Sanderson deserves to be remembered for his contributions to organizing the mysteries that still intrigue us and for his unique encouragement to the generations now living to explore this marvelous world of ours.

Many have claimed to have seen or held this infamous image, including the late Ivan T. Sanderson who reportedly had acquired a photocopy of the image in 1966, the same year in which Sanderson gave the image, later lost, to a couple of men from Pennsylvania who were searching for the Thunderbird.
Sanderson, Ivan T., Thunderbirds Again and Again, Pursuit: Journal of the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained, April 1972
The image is said to depict six western clothed adult men, standing fingertip to fingertip in front of a barn where a large bird is nailed to the wall.

Sanderson pointed back at the river, and upon doing so, the natives reportedly fled in terror in the opposite direction, taking only their guns and leaving their valuables behind.
Sanderson asked them, spreading his arms in bird-like fashion, "What kind of bat is this large and is all black?" "Olitiau!" was the response.
One evening, as the team was hunting near the river, Sanderson shot and killed a large fruit-eating bat, and when the animal fell into the water, Sanderson carefully began to make his way over to it in the fast moving current.

 X-Project: Mono Grande / De Loys Ape
Ivan T. Sanderson, respected Fortean researcher and author of several books on the subject, also finds fault in Montandon’s claim.
Sanderson writes in his book, Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come To Life, "...this picture produced by Dr. Francios de Loys is obviously that of a spider monkey...".
The flat nose, with the nostrils widely separated and flared outwards, is characteristic of New World monkeys...Other characteristics that strongly suggest a spider-monkey are the round ridges surrounding the eye sockets, the long hair, and the extremely long fingers and toes.

 TrueAuthority.com - Cryptozoology - Mokele-mbembe
In 1932, American cryptozoologist Ivan Sanderson was traveling in Africa and came across large hippo-like tracks in a region with no hippos.
Coincidentally, that same year the world famous zoologist and biologist, Ivan T. Sanderson, along with animal-trader Gerald Russel, were paddling up the Mainyu River in the heart of western Africa when, according to Sanderson's report:
He was told by the natives that they were made by a creature named the "mgbulu-eM'bembe." Later, Sanderson saw something in the water that seemed too large to be a hippo, but it disappeared before he could investigate further.

 The Cryptozoo: Missing Links Primate Center
Sanderson investigated Hansen's claims of having the creature duplicated by movie prop artists, and discovered that three California companies had manufactured latex Icemen for Hansen as early as 1967.
A horrible stench escaped from within, alarming Sanderson because the smell of putrefication meant that the body must be rapidly decomposing, and needed to be thoroughly examined by scientists before any further deterioration.
First he introduced the story of the "replica switcheroo" after Sanderson and Heuvelmans brought scientists breathing down his neck, and then he retroactively stretched the substitution tale back to before the Iceman's first tour, once word was out that he'd had Hollywood build props for him since the beginning.

 GEORGE ALLEN AGOGINO's Forward to Ivan T. Sanderson's book on the Abominable Snowman
In this book, Ivan T. Sanderson summarizes current world evidence regarding ABSMs (abominable snowmen), drawing from records and reports that are world-wide in scope and cover a broad period of time.
GEORGE AGOGINO'S FORWARD TO IVAN T. The Possible existence of the Yeti, Sasquatch, and other Abominable Snowman forms has long been a point of conjecture among travelers, naturalists, and scientists.
While most of this evidence is circumstantial and inconclusive as yet, it provides a tantalizing mystery filled with enough interest and promise to warrant the attention of both serious students and casual readers.

 AMERICAN MONSTERS
SANDERSON, T. Author and zoologist, Ivan Terence Sanderson is considered to be one of the most preeminent cryptozoologist the world has ever known.
Sanderson would later recall that the black, sharp toothed, reptilian featured animal - which was nearly the size of an eagle - dove at him and a compatriot, causing much consternation in their native guides.
In 1965, Sanderson founded the" Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained," and eight years later, on February 19, 1973, Sanderson passed away, leaving the world his vast legacy.

 UnexplainedEarth: Ringing Rocks of Pennsylvania
Sanderson goes so far as to quotes an instance where several stones were set in concrete and yet they still continued to ring just as well as before.
About the lack of vegetation and animals, I quote Sanderson again, "This area is absolutely devoid of all life except for a few lichens that cling to the under, shaded side of some of the boulders, down near the bottom.
Both Sanderson and Frizzell removed specimens from the field for prolonged periods of study over a number of years and witnessed no degradation in their ringing qualities.

 Man Who Invented Flaying Saucers
North America's "Bigfoot" was nothing more than an Indian legend until a zoologist named Ivan T. Sanderson began collecteing contemporary sightings of the creature in the early 1950s, publishing the reports in a series of popular magazine articles.
Sanderson and Charles Berlitz later added to the Triangle lore, and rewriting their books became a cottage industry among hack writers in the United States.
He turned the tall, hairy biped into a household word, just as British author Rupert T. Gould rediscovered sea serpents in the 1930s and, through his radio broadcasts, articles, and books, brought Loch Ness to the attention of the world.

 Bernard Heuvelmans (1916 - 2001) An appreciation of a friend
In 1968, Heuvelmans (at Sanderson's invitation) examined what was represented to be the frozen cadaver of a hairy hominoid, the subject of his L'homme de Neanderthal est toujours vivant (with Boris Porshnev, 1974).
But when he read a 1948 Saturday Evening Post article, in which biologist Ivan T. Sanderson sympathetically discussed the evidence for relict dinosaurs, he decided to pursue a vague, unfocussed interest in a systematic way.
Sanderson, who influenced Heuvelmans, in turn was influenced by Heuvelmans.

 Flatwoods UFO Monster; Investigative Files (Skeptical Inquirer November 2000)
This might also explain the "fiery orange color" of the creature's head (Sanderson 1967), but as an alternative explanation, while the barn owl is typically described as having a white facial disc and underparts, in the case of the female those parts "have some darker buff or tawny color" ("Barn Owl" 2000).
The effect on three of the youths, particularly Lemon, was later to cause nausea and complaints of irritated throats (Barker 1953, 1956; Sanderson 1967; Keyhoe 1953).
May described it with terrible claws." Sanderson (1967) cites the witnesses' observation that "the creature had small, claw-like hands that extended in front of it," a description consistent with a raptor (a predatory bird).

The prominent cryptozoologists Ivan T. Sanderson and Bernard Heuvelmans headed for Hansen's farm in Minnesota in December 1968.
So, whether Sanderson and Heuvelmans were right, and this is the closest we've got to the real Bigfoot, or whether John Napier was right and Hansen pulled off one of the best cryptozoological scams ever, I still don't know.
Sanderson was a guest and Carson asked him about this great scientific discovery he'd just accidentally stumbled upon.

 The Cryptozoologist: Cryptozoology
Ivan T. Sanderson continued the examination with an August 1968 Argosy article, "The Spreading Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle," and in his 1972 Saga Magazine article, "The Twelve Devil¹s Graveyards Around the World." Sanderson also examined the topic in his book, Invisible Residents (NY: World Publishing, 1970; NY: Avon, 1973).
Robert Durant, a former officer with Ivan T. Sanderson's Society of the Investigation of the Unexplained remarked upon hearing of Berlitz's death: "I can certainly point to his Roswell book, co-authored with William Moore, as the reason the word 'Roswell' has huge resonance with an international public.
Sanderson, in the 1960s, was an editor at Chilton Books and the Science Editor at Argosy Magazine, and thus he was responsible for shepherding Gaddis to these two publishing forums.

Dr. Agogino was fascinated by "the unexplained" and worked with Ivan T. Sanderson and others to lend his expertise in physical anthropology to analyze evidence of what has been called the Yeti, Big Foot, Abominable Snowman, and Sasquatch.
is the Forward he wrote for Ivan T. Sanderson's book Abominable Snowman:Legend Come to Life in 1961.
Over the years, as all of the evidence sent to Agogino appeared to be either fraudulent or of some known species, Agogino came to the conclusion that it was unlikely that any such creature could continue to exist now that most of the land masses of the earth have been explored.

 The Top Cryptozoology Stories of 2004 - ForumGarden
In the 1940s, the Scottish-born zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson began using a word he coined, "cryptozoology," to describe a new subdiscipline of zoology that studied hidden, as yet-to-be-discovered large animals.
In the late 1950s, after a decade of correspondence with Sanderson, Belgian zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans began formalizing "cryptozoology." Today, their precise approaches to the passion and patience of the field has grown into a more scientifically-aware cryptozoology.
Once again (see 2000-2004 links below), I review the top stories of the year, which garnered the most media attention, and mention others that should have perhaps received more notice for other cryptids.

Under the stars in the desert it is entirely possible that traders & wanderers had little to do but think and the thoughts turned to possibilities of predilection associated with the stars.
