Gilbert Pyne

Gilbert Pyne has been wrong about cryptids more times than anyone in the field, and he will tell you about every single instance with relish. A retired insurance adjuster from Scranton, he covers hoaxes, misidentifications, and the glorious human capacity for self-deception — not to debunk, but to ask what the mistakes reveal about what's actually out there. He is the only journalist who has ever described a proven hoax as 'encouraging.'
