Talk:Ozark Howler

History
Not that they in any sense constitute reliable sources, but it's interesting that even cryptozoologists seems to think the "Ozark Howler" is a hoax. In UFO Review Lauren Coleman says "I was writing the book Cryptozoology: A to Z in 1997 and 1998 and some person created an Internet hoax, the Ozark Howler, in which they actually went to the trouble of planting hoaxed old archival Howler material on line and trying to keep pointing me to it and coming up with web site that had news accounts (which were fakes). I discovered it was a couple of people in a college trying to see if they could get the Ozark Howler into the new cryptozoology book." . And in Cryptozoology: Science & Speculation it says "There have been several Internet-based cases (e.g. the Ozark Howler] where a skeptic has attempted to hoax cryptozoological investigators." A little paranoid perhaps, but interesting. --tronvillain (talk) 21:32, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it seems the hoax continues with The Ozark Howler Network ("The Double Hoax" is especially good) and even a "republished" book ("unchanged from the original, except for a new foreword") last year, Tales of the Ozark Howler. I wonder if explicitly claiming to have been published in 1936 but not having either a copyright registration or a copyright renewal means that you've declared your text public domain? --tronvillain (talk) 21:47, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
