We’re leaving. Like, now.

This is a bit ackward. We’ve been updating this blog for the last few months and been really excited about the feedback it’s been getting. People are loving the Mongolian Death Worm, which is all two budding cryptozoologists could ask for. Well, that - and to find the creature we’re looking for: The Mongolian Death Worm. Which brings us to our next point: Christie Douglas and I are off. We’re going to have a quick sleep, then catch a plane for Korea - before jumping on Mongolian Airlines for, well, Mongolia. We’re going to be concentrating our efforts for the next 3 weeks finding out about the Death Worm from the locals (from laymen to scientists) and - who knows - maybe we’ll find worm itself. Which means we won’t be on the website, twitter, facebook, cellphones - anything, really. We’re not even taking iPods. We will touch base again when we’re back, but we’re gonna be pretty tight lipped about what we’ve found - or haven’t found. We’re out to make a doco, and there’s no point in doing this if you already know what to expect because it’s all been outlined here on deathworm2009.com. Whether we find it or not, we’re keeping our lips sealed. But we’ll give you a tease, don’t worry. See you on the other side. Christie Douglas & David Farrier. P.S.

Richard Freeman chats about his trip…

As we edit and edit this site is a bit quiet… so I’m just gonna keep posting up worm news. Here’s a good interview with British cryptozoologist Richard Freeman about his MDW expedition (he’s just gotten back from a more successful trip to spot Indonesia’s yeti… but that’s a whole other story!)

Did they take any practical steps to try and ensnare the Death Worm?

“On one occasion we did set traps using a series of sunken buckets connected by mesh above ground level. The idea is that the creature crawling along bumps into the mesh and cannot carry on forwards, so runs along the mesh until it comes to the bucket and drops in. After a night of thunderstorms and heavy rain, we checked the buckets in the morning but they were empty.”
