Dr Bernard Heuvelmans gives additional reports of African examples in various of his writings, and I've read fairly general accounts of giant Asian bats, but Sanderson was certainly the person responsible for bringing such cryptids to popular attention, so we have to bear in mind therefore that his versions may contain embellishments, something that he was known for adding to his writings, sadly.<br />Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-76881988306968173752018-10-04T12:44:21.265+01:002018-10-04T12:44:21.265+01:00Thanks Martin - I'd never heard of this movie ...Thanks Martin - I'd never heard of this movie before, I'll have to look out for it, sounds very interesting.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-20902415827036167362018-08-12T15:38:30.016+01:002018-08-12T15:38:30.016+01:00I can't be the only person who instantly thoug...I can't be the only person who instantly thought "this must be the truth behind the myth of the Jersey Devil" when I saw the horse-shoe bat.<br /><br />The problem is that its habitat is so far away from North America and that I'm not sure if it ever was kept in captivity anywhere in the Northeastern US...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957730344128441993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-32975734281741003302018-08-01T09:34:32.521+01:002018-08-01T09:34:32.521+01:00Looking at this bat reminded me of sci fi movie ca...Looking at this bat reminded me of sci fi movie called Life Force by Tobe Hooper. The Aliens were giant bats that looked much like the Hammer Head. The twist was that these creatures were the source of the vampires of myth and visited earth at regular periods, hiding in the tail of Halley's Comet.
