A zoologist and cryptozoologist, Karl Shuker turns up again and again in this archive. His retellings are often the most detailed. For the Morag attack on Duncan McDonell and William Simpson's boat at Loch Morar in 1969, his account is the fullest. He also wrote the fullest modern retelling of De Loys's Ape, describing tall, hairy, tailless apes walking on their hind legs. On the Stronsay Beast he defends the 55 ft measurement. Elsewhere he raises doubts. He suggested that the Surgeon's Photograph confession might itself be a hoaxed hoax, and he proposed a Eurasian eagle-owl as the Owlman of Mawnan.
