There is no other project quite like the Believe It Tour. Michael Esordi and Diana Smith travel the country to investigate and share with you all types of fascinations including vampires, zombies, the Bermuda Triangle, Mothman, Bigfoot, Chupacapra, haunted houses and even Santa Claus!
The Believe It Tour also sponsors Champ Camp which is an educational and fun filled experience for the whole family.
The Believe It Tour uses most of their own funds but they need some help! An on-line auction, beginning May 1, 2011, is being held to raise funding for their on-going travel and education projects. The auction will be filled with fantastic items ranging from signed books and original art to services and other merchandise.
Please help out my friends AND make sure you stop by the website and view all of Mike's amazing designs.
Accommodations include quaint, rustic cabins located smack dab in the middle of Sasquatch territory.
I have always said that the Ohio Conference was ideal because of it's location within Salt Fork State park, however, from the pictures I have seen of Camp White Branch, this would be a squatcher's paradise!
There is a main hall and an outdoor amphitheater for the presentations. Hiking trails and gorgeous scenery is right outside of your cabin door!
I want to go!!!!!! :)
Toby Johnson and his crew put on a magnificent conference last year and I was highly impressed as it was his first! At the first Oregon Symposium, Scott Nelson revealed his Sasquatch Phoentic Alphabet and Autumn Williams introduced us to Enoch. What an amazing trip that was. Tickets and t-shirts are now on sale and Toby has put together several reasonably priced packages.
Please do not miss this opportunity to connect with nature and fellow squatchers!
-Story taken from the Alaska Dispatch-
Driving up the Alcan Highway through Canada, there is a whole stretch of Canadian towns along the road touting their bigfoot-rich properties, a tourist draw for those who believe in the unsubsantiated animal. Alaska is well-known for its hulking wildlife -- bears, moose, caribou and sea lions are among the biggest draws -- but when it comes to the elusive bigfoot, there seems to be a dearth of sightings for a state so enveloped in the woods that play home to the legendary beast in other parts of the world. Maybe the Bigfoot's northern cousin, the yeti, is a more appropriate fit for Alaska, where half the state hangs above the Arctic Circle.
But recently, YouTube user putua76 posted a shaky video that purports to capture the unconfirmed creature on tape near Ketchikan, Alaska.
The person who filmed the images claims:
"I was on a logging road in Ketchikan hiking with my friend when I saw it! Boy did my heart start racing!! It was about 40 yards from the road! Not sure if it knew I was there or not, because the noise of flowing water from the stream. It seemed to travel fast! It made my hair stand up!! At one point you can see a whitish yellowish thing in it's hand! I believe it was skunk cabbage. Not sure, but it is in bloom.
You see it jump and after that point it just seems to disappear. There was a lot of brush and trees between it and I, I could not tell where it had gone. It was a scary sort of exciting feeling at the same time!! We went to search for tracks but the river bed where we thought it was walking was full of perfect skiping rocks, we found no prints! If there is a BigFoot, Sasquatch, or Kushtaka I swear I saw him!!"
According to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, this would be the first reported sighting of a bigfoot in Ketchikan, although there have been 21 previous sightings in Alaska, eight of which have occurred in Fairbanks or "Southeast Fairbanks."
As with all bigfoot video the creature is hard to see, hidden behind trees and partially or totally obscured, giving just enough evidence for the skeptics to dispute and just enough for the believers to support. So is there a bigfoot in Alaska? We'll leave that up to you.
Kirk B. (a BFRO investigator from Washington State) brought down his FLIR H-series handheld imager for the 2011 BFRO New Mexico expedition, at a remote hotspot in the mountains outside Los Alamos.
During the trip he recorded footage of what some BFRO members believe is a sasquatch watching the camp at night.
I've had to look at this a few times and to me, it is inconclusive, but I was not there and as most of you know, having the personal experience is half of the proof an individual needs to convince themselves of what they have experienced!
The 2011 New Mexico Expedition folks have agreed to answers question about the trip and the effort via the BFRO's public discussion forum, called the Blue Forum. Feel free to ask questions there.
The BFRO continues to excel in the field of Bigfoot Research!
And, don't forget to tune into Animal Planet on June 5th at 9 pm for Finding Bigfoot. James "Bobo" Fay, Cliff Barackman and Matt Moneymaker of the BFRO should be very entertaining to watch. I know they had a great time filming the series and are excited to share their experiences with us!
Hi gang! I received an email from a gentleman in Northern California requesting a research partner..
He asks: I was wondering if you could tell me if there are any bigfoot enthusiasts in my area. I am looking for a club or even an individual I can get together with here in Northern California (Lakeport, Lake County ar...ea) to share my interests and maybe go hiking/camping with.
If you are in the area and would like to help a fellow enthusiast out, please let me know and I will give him your contact info! thanks!
There is something in them thar woods and I'm sure the PBS will get to the bottom of it soon!
From WTAE.com in Pittsburgh...
NORTH UNION TOWNSHIP, Pa. --
A Fayette County man needed nearly 300 stitches to close a gash in his arm after he was attacked by an unknown animal Tuesday night.Wanda Knopsnider told WTAE Channel 4 Action News' Sheldon Ingram that noises were heard behind her camper in North Union Township, so her daughter's boyfriend, Adam Cravener, went to investigate.Cravener, 25, said he grabbed a baseball bat and went outside. When he found the animal, he said it bit him."It came out from right behind the camper," Cravener told Ingram. "It just happened so quick," he said.Cravener said it was too dark for him to get a good look at the animal. It was initially thought to be a bear attack but Cravener told Ingram he thought it would be difficult for a bear to fit in the space behind the camper."He didn't say what it was. He just said, 'It got me! It got me!'" Knopsnider said.Cravener need 294 stitches to close a 6-inch gash in his left forearm, Ingram reported.He spent the night at an area hospital but has since been released.Scott Tomlinson, the Game Commission's southwestern region supervisor, said their investigation shows nothing to substantiate that there was a bear in the area. They searched the area and talked to witnesses, none of whom saw a bear.
This morning I was the special guest of some very special children (name of school withheld) who are studying Cryptozoology and today their topic was Bigfoot.
It was such a thrill to discuss Bigfoot with them! The class was an hour long and we used every minute! I might not be an authority or expert on Bigfoot, but I did my part to generate interest in our big hairy friend!
The Bigfoot Field Reporter still accepts donations to continue spreading the good word of Bigfoot Research!
Ohio Bigfoot Conference - Salt Fork State Park (Don prefers we call it the 23rd annual Bigfoot conference, omitting the word Ohio since his conference is the longest running of any conference)
Come early to the Ohio Bigfoot Conference and join Believe It Tour and Ohio Bigfoot Organization for a Bigfoot Research Expedition.
Friday morning meet up with the team for a daytime exploration of hot areas as we search for physical evidence in the form of tracks, hair samples, and other signs that Bigfoot is active in Salt Fork. To accommodate all Bigfoot enthusiasts we will have two levels of scheduled hikes. One will be less... physically demanding, but it will still offer some great evidence gathering potential. For the advanced hiker and researcher a more challenging trek into the woods will be available.
Prior to heading out for the hikes, guides will provide a brief lecture on reports of sightings in this area, an evidence gathering demonstration, and there will be a display of evidence samples such as track casts for examination.
Your Expedition Guides will be:
Michael Esordi, Believe It Tour
Marc DeWerth, Ohio Bigfoot Organization
Dr. Esteban Sarmiento, Conference Speaker
FREE Registration:
Registration is free for the Friday presentation and hikes. However, we do ask that you register, so we can keep you updated and provide you with the details that will not be posted publicly.
David Pierce of Insidenova.com has got his eye on Bigfoot researcher William Dranginis.
William had his first Bigfoot sighting while out searching for Civil War relics. As a Federal agent, he had his weapon on him, but did not feel compelled to fire upon the Bigfoot.
Since then he created his own organization, the Virginia Bigfoot Research Organization in hopes of finding others who had seen Bigfoot in the Virginia forests.
For several years now, Bill has been busy perfecting his Eyegotcha stealth camera system which will allow hunters and Bigfoot enthusiasts to observe the wilderness from inside a tree branch or rock.
I will have more information for you when the Eyegotcha System is available for public purchase.
Quirky?? Whaddaya mean 'quirky'? I'm perfectly normal!!! Come to think of it, maybe all those years of sitting in that old Cleveland Stadium, amidst 80,000 empty seats, watching the Tribe lose has permanently affected me. :-)
Thanks for the plug. If people don't want to use credit cards, they can mail me a check. twenty bucks even will cover book and U.S. postage, plus I'll sign it for you!

Thom, I received my copy via Amazon yesterday...it's a lot thicker than I thought it would be! I'll start reading it today and my review will be forthcoming! See you in Vancouver!~ Sharon
I met my fellow Clevelander, Thom Powell at the Oregon Symposium last year and we shared an interesting conversation on Bigfoot, the government and his research. Thom is quirky, brilliant and charming and I can't wait to read his new book Shady Neighbors..
Shady Neighbors portrays a 'family who is threatened by imminent development of their rural landscape. At the same time, members of the family begin to notice other strange things occurring around them that seem to indicate that they have been somehow singled-out for some unknown purpose. While the family is trying to figure out how to use the unknown force, the unknown force is also figuring out how to use the family. Ultimately, an uneasy partnership forms as the forces of 'human energy' and 'a greater good' learn how to play on the same team. Baseball has long provided a metaphor for the struggles of our human condition.
As one can see from the unique cover art by Guy Edwards, the author has crafted the first fictional story in human history that humorously combines bigfoot and baseball. '

Every year Don Keating outdoes himself and this year is no exception! This year it appears Don is adding a twist with Demonologist and Paranormal Activity investigators
DATE... May 14th, 2011 TIME... 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
SCHEDULED SPEAKERS (subject to change without notice!)...
Dr. Esteban Sarmiento ... Dr. Esteban Sarmiento is a primatologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Sarmiento is one of the scientists who has fully examined the Skookum Cast, a casting of a partial body print that many believe is that of a Sasquatch
Sharonlee and Ron Morehead
Ron Morehead ... For more than 35 years Ron Morehead has been traveling to purported Bigfoot sites and interviewing people claiming encounters. Ron’s knowledge of the phenomenon has been fine tuned, having coupled years of many credible witnessed reports with his own experiences in the Sierra Mountains of California. Ron has been a guest on several radio programs, including the Art Bell show, and has been filmed by BBC, DISH Network and others. Al Berry was an investigative reporter asked to visit the remote high Sierra camp and wrote his story, which Ron produced on CD in 1996, "The Bigfoot Recordings, Volume I." The 40 minute CD is narrated by Jonathan Frakes, of “Star Trek, The Next Generation.” In 2003, Ron introduced his story on CD, “The Bigfoot Recordings, Volume II." The initial encounters began at the Sierra camp in 1971 and many subsequent events occurred in the years to follow. Most all Bigfoot reports of sounds or encounters are either a yell or a brief glimpse, hardly ever a series of events, especially with a communicative type effort on the part of these creatures. In 1978 the vocalizations were the subject of a year-long study by Dr. R. Lynn Kirlin, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Wyoming. His analysis was presented in a symposium in Vancouver, B.C., “Anthropology of the Unknown.” A more recent year-long study was launched in 2008 by a Crypto-Linguist. Retired from Naval Intelligence, trained to crack codes, and currently teaching foreign languages, Scott Nelson deciphered a complex language in the Sierra Recordings.
Carl L. Johnson ... has been researching unorthodox subjects and investigating reports of unexplained activity for the past three decades, commencing when he was invited to join a research team under the auspices of Rhode Island College, and in association with various colleagues such as the renowned ghost hunting couple Ed and Lorraine Warren. Specializing as a Demonologist, Carl was a member of The Atlantic Paranormal Society for eight years and appeared on the first two seasons of the popular SyFy Channel series Ghost Hunters. Carl is featured on the Animal Planet series, The Haunted, also The Travel Channel's documentary, Most Terrifying Places in America. His interests are directed towards origins of arcane lore. You may contact Carl at carcosan@live.com or through Beyond the Veil Paranormal Dina Palazini will be here from Rhode Island as well. Dina had what may be the first documented sighting of Bigfoot in that state. Here is her bio…
Dina M. Palazini ... can be described as empathic and intuitive, plus she is training in demonology. Since early childhood, she has demonstrated an ability to experience the emotional state of others, human beings and animals, and to detect disembodied presences. Dina conducts an ongoing research with Beyond The Veil Paranormal, the investigating team which she founded in 2009. Dina has participated in television productions including the Animal Planet series, The Haunted, and Travel Channel's Most Terrifying Places in America. You may contact Dina either at her e-mail address, able2c@cox.net or through her Web site, Beyond The Veil Paranormal In August of 2009, Carl Johnson and Dina Palazini began actively researching evidence and reported sightings of and physical evidence for the presence of a Sasquatch-type cryptid roaming within the borders of the state of Rhode Island. This study was inspired by Dina's personal experience of two decades prior: an encounter with the creature which she vividly recalls. In April, 2010 Carl and Dina founded Big Rhodey Research Society as a networking forum to more effectively continue their exploration of the enigma now for reference classified by Carl as Hominem Hylocomium Tenebrosus and the title of "Big Rhodey" derived from Rhode Island's nickname, "Little Rhody."

Don't forget to head out to Henderson, Kentucky this afternoon, February 26, 2011 for the book signing of Bigfoot in Kentucky.
Barton will be at Matt’s News & Gifts, 106 N. Elm St., downtown Henderson, Kentucky from 12:00-3:00
Barton Nunnelly, is an author and artist who was born and raised in Kentucky, where he spent decades searching the bottom lands of the Bluegrass State for evidence of its unsolved mysteries which he shared in his first book, Mysterious Kentucky. His curiosity has brought him face to face with such creatures as Bigfoot, water monsters, black panthers and other mysterious cryptids including a Thunderbird in 1998.
Thank you Raymond for this short Gem! Bigfoot enthusiasts will get a kick out of seeing the Bigfoot books and figurines that we have in our own collections! Not a lot of great acting, but a fun, short video to watch on your lunch break at work! ;)
The Devil at Lost Creek, 27 minutes, 2010. Complete film. Directed by Raymond Castile.
Little Gary and Shelley live in a dismal world of poverty, trying to avoid their mothers abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend. Their mother, Susan, hesitates to seek help, afraid the state will take her children. Gary and Shelley escape into an innocent dream world, trekking into the woods to search for Garys obsession Bigfoot.
Children say, if you hit a stick against a tree three times in the wilderness, Bigfoot will appear.
In a moment of crisis, Gary calls forth a creature of rage, death and destruction. Is it a demon or avenging angel? Not even the children are safe from its wrath. At Lost Creek, the devil is on the loose.
I received my complimentary review copy of Visits from the Forest People by Julie Scott and the Scott family and sat down on a snowy Saturday afternoon to read. The book was not very long at all and I was finished by dinner time.
The Scott family moved into a new home on the Oregon coast and immediately began having strange experiences with what they believed to be a Bigfoot creature. I was disappointed in the lack of physical evidence shared by the story teller, but I had a chance to chat with researcher "Barb" who assures me that the occurrences were real.
Julie and her husband make no secret of the fact that they were not happy in their new home and had moved on after only 6 months. Ironically, a Bigfoot enthusiast took over possession of the home for the remainder of their year long lease. Several researchers inhabited the homestead in the 6 months and gave up the property as the incidents decreased over time.
The book offers little more than a Class B report and Julie's story has been told on several internet radio shows and reported on the BFRO website.
The book is available at Amazon.com for under $13.00

Good news from the folks at McFarland. My new book The Bigfoot Filmography (ISBN 978-0-7864-4828-9) will be first published as an oversized, hardbound edition in the Fall of 2011!
Complete with 100s of rare photos, many never-before published, and interviews with key Bigfoot genre filmmakers, The Bigfoot Filmography: Fictional and Documentary Appearances in Film and Television is a first of its kind reference guide and genre-defining critique of “Cine du Sasquatch” — a newly-proposed genre of horror filmmaking.
But as the overview of every-known Bigfoot film & t.v. appearance makes readily apparent, Cine du Sasquatch is actually as old as the narrative film itself. Citing the earliest examples of Yeti movies by pioneering filmmakers such as George Méliès and Willis O’Brien, and then moving forward through film history to denote key moments in the genre’s progression, The Bigfoot Filmography meticulously documents how the Cine du Sasquatch genre has always been lurking, just out of classification in film critique annals and as misunderstood as the cryptozoological namesake which inspires the films.
With a foreward by noted cryptozoologist, author, and museum curator Loren Coleman (no relation, alas for me, save our shared heredity of a love of Bigfoot Cinema!), The Bigfoot Filmography also includes a complete listing and critique of every known Bigfoot, Yeti, and Sasquatch movie and t.v. appareance, cameo, or significant mention, complete with cast and crew credits, running times, and other resourceful information about each listing.
I’m truly thrilled that after literally years of work, The Bigfoot Filmography will be available for the Bigfoot Cinema fans like myself, many of whom equally feel they’ve been “in hiding” as much as any cryptid for their dedication to a what is still (until publication date!) a misunderstood cinema genre. More info as it becomes available, of course! Dave Coleman
When I met Dave in 2010, he was a veritable wealth of information on Bigfoot in Media. He was overwhelmed with the amount of data that he found every day and could not keep up with all of the books being written on the subject. This book will definitely be a "must-have" item in every Bigfoot enthusiast's library!
If you would like to order the book from Amazon, contact Craig Woolheater at ecwool@yahoo.com for information on how to order the book using the Cryptomundo access so that a small amount of the sale will go towards Cryptomundo!
The rumblings have already begun and people are itching for more information!
The 23rd Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference will be held this year on May 13th thru the 15th at the Salt Fork State Park Lodge in Lore City, Ohio.
Start pricing your plane tickets folks! This is the premiere Bigfoot Conference as it is a place to meet with hundreds of fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts!
I'm not sure who Don's guests will be this year, but hopefully they will be informative and entertaining!
Last year we were surprised by Esteban Sarmiento making a cameo appearance. As well as having some west coast dignitaries dishing up their style of laid back easy going Squatching!
Salt Fork is the BEST place to hold a conference because of it's location, right in the heart of Squatchtivity! You can meet with your friends all day, then head out at night for some Squatching!
Linda Newton Perry had originally come to me about a year and a half ago to promote her children's books. I was more than willing to spread the word about her books as they were harmless and entertaining and a positive spin on Bigfoot research.
I'm not sure where she went astray from her original quest.
Linda, I have always been kind to you and am extending an invitation to you to tell your side of the story.
If you would like to come on my radio show this Sunday, let me know and I will get the word out. If you would like to tell me your story here, then I am ok with that as well.
A team of top scientists come together with one goal to create the definitive guide to Bigfoot.
Does the creature exist? And if it does, where is it? And how can it survive without being detected? These questions will be addressed on "Bigfoot: The Definitive Guide" which airs Wednesday, Feb 2, 2011 at 9/8c pm on the History Channel.
Using a new, interactive map, the team has plotted more than 10,000 Bigfoot-type sightings from around the world.
These sightings are of an unidentified creature which walks upright on two legs and is covered in a thick layer of hair.
Many of these sightings date back over 100+ years.
With their expert knowledge of the natural world they are able to dismiss nearly 90% of the sightings, but what emerges is a series of global hotspots that cannot be explained, which indicates that "something" is out there.
The team examines these global hotspots and searches for explanations including new theories that suggest we may have been looking for the wrong creature all along...
'Bigfoot in Kentucky (2011): There is little doubt that the state of Kentucky is one of the strangest places in the country. The “dark and bloody ground” of the Native Americans has given birth to accounts of UFO’s, flying creatures, Lizard Men and even werewolves. But one monster stands out above the rest – Bigfoot! There are so many sightings of these hairy giants in the Bluegrass State that it has come to be ranked as one of the most active for Bigfoot sightings east of the Mississippi River! In his latest title, B.M. Nunnelly, author of Mysterious Kentucky, has collected Bigfoot reports, sightings and first-hand accounts from every county in the state, compiling a fascinating documentation of ordinary people and their encounters with the unknown.
Delve into the long, strange history of Bigfoot in the Bluegrass State, from the “Wildman” reports of the 1800s to recent encounters in the forested regions of Kentucky, and find out why this is such a mysterious place. This is a book that is bound to satisfy your cravings for the unusual and may just have you roaming the woods and hills in hopes of an encounter of your own! $15.00
Steve Kulls drills into the skull of Ben Radford who is a Bigfoot Skeptic. Ben is the managing editor of the Skeptical Enquirer.
The hour long program will air on BlogTalk Radio at 8PM EST on Sunday, January 16th, 2011. Listeners are encouraged to join the discussion and call in at (347) 996 - 5800 during the program.
Like I said in my last post, after 40+ years of "research" and "investigating" we are all at the same point. Why should we still believe? What has science proven? Is Ben right?
On January 7, 1811 Canadian explorer David Thompson recorded these words in his daily journal while pioneering through what is now Alberta, Canada:
[In the snow] I saw the track of a large Animal - has 4 large Toes abt 3 or 4 In long & a small nail at the end of each... The whole is about 14 In long by 8 In wide & very much resembles a large Bear's Track."
I always seem to get antsy for Bigfoot in January. I don't like the cold much and it just seems like the hairy ones like to lay low in the winter months. So, why not revive the radio show?
My first guest will be Steven Streufert of Willow Creek. Steven is the sole proprietor of Bigfoot Books in Willow Creek and I have had the chance to hang out with Steven in the past 2 years.
Steven was our guide who took us down the Go road to Bluff Creek on that hot August day. He had to leave us before it got dark and the 5 of us spent the night in the dark until Bobo and Slasher showed up around 11 pm.
It is so amazing how people in this field of Bigfootery can bond so quickly. We laughed all night, then came the fateful return up the mountain the next day...but you all know that story.
I met Steven again at the Oregon Sasquatch symposium and we spent a few hours relaxing and chatting during the breaks.
Slasher and Mike Esordi
I can honestly call Steven a friend and I hope you join our lively and sure to be animated conversation this Sunday at 7 pm EST.
Film, lecture part of Sun Valley Center program By :EXPRESS STAFF
As part of its ongoing multidisciplinary project Creatures, the Sun Valley Center for the Arts will be showing the documentary Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie on Thursday, Jan. 20, at 6:30 p.m. The screening will be held at The Center in Ketchum. Admission is free and the movie lasts about an hour.
Jay Delaney's 2008 film follows two amateur Bigfoot researchers, Dallas Gilbert and Wayne Burton, as they try to track the legendary creature in the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio. Along the way we see how the power of a dream can bring two men together in friendship and provide hope and meaning that transcend the harsh realities of life in a dying steel town.
The film was an official selection at multiple independent film festivals in 2008 and 2009. The Chicago Tribune called it "a story of enduring friendship and epic dreams."
The Center also presents Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, considered by many to be the nation's leading expert on Sasquatch, for a lecture on Thursday, Feb. 10, at 6:30 p.m.
Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is an example of a cryptid, a creature whose existence has been reported but is unconfirmed by the scientific community. Cryptids are at the heart of The Center's current visual arts exhibition, Creatures: From Bigfoot to the Yeti Crab. Prior to the film screening, The Center is offering a free guided tour of the exhibition at 5:30 p.m.
For details about all events, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org or call 726-9491 ext.10
Happy New Year to you all! We are off to a great start this year with the first witness sighting report as told to and reported by Philip Spencer who operates the blog: Strange is Normal.
Philip conducted the interview of the 15 year old North Carolina witness via telephone and shares her story with us!
Bobbie Short sent out her wonderful Bigfoot Newsletter Online which she sends out free of charge to over 2300 subscribers! You too can subscribe online by visiting: www.bigfootencounters.com
I announced that on January 9, 2011 at 7 pm EST I would be interviewing Steven Streufert of Willow Creek, on my return to Blogtalk Radio, and shortly thereafter, Abe Delrio contacted Steven to do an interview for his radio show on January 3. Please tune in to both shows as Steven and I will be discussing other material than will be presented on the MnBTR show. :)
The Tristate Bigfoot folks are pleased to announce that their Investigator Spotlight for the month of January will feature Bigfoot author Lori Simmons! Way to go Lori! Click here for info.
I am looking forward to all of this year's upcoming events and will provide as much coverage as I possibly can!
BFROVIDEOS. Steven Streufert, Ian and Robert Leiterman are taking another look at the P-G Film site 43 years later. With conflicting thoughts as to exactly where the film site is today, they have decided to re-evaluate the facts, interview those in the know and spend some extensive leg work on the ground. They are trying to piece together what nature has spent the last 43 years turning back into a riparian forest. Part of an on going series.
Message from Steven Streufert: Sharon, if any of your connections out there have photos or recollections of the PGF site in the late 70s, 80s or earlier 90s that would be very helpful! We need to establish a time range scale of changes.
Last night on Facebook, a friend posted this pic claiming that it was caught on a game cam near Fouke, Arkansas. He claims " My fiance's coworker has a husband who checked his game cam recently...and look what was on there"
I then wake up this morning to read on Cryptomundo that this image is being posted on MSNBC as from a game camera in Berwick, Louisiana. I checked the map and, hmmm Fouke and Berwick are not even near each other!
Is there a hoax in the making?????? If anyone has more information, I'd love to hear it!
Obviously it is one of those hoaxes that spread rumors like wildfire....There are people all over the internet claiming to have captured this exact image on their trail cam pic. Here is a post from another website "
Very freaky trail cam picture.... don't know what to think..?
Don't know what to think about this one fellers.... Went and checked my camera today and this is what it had on it.... The ground directly in front of my tree was completely tore up, the trail cam had been torn off the tree, straps were popped and everything. Camera was laying face down about 10 ft. from the tree it was attached too. Bark was knocked off the tree where the camera had been, like something had knocked it off while trying to twist camera off the tree. This was the only picture I got of "it" as I had it set on a 2 minute timer. The first picture is of "it", and the second is a picture from a lil while ago of the same spot, just for reference. Checking this right at dusk with a 3/4 mile walk out ahead of you will scare a feller..... When I saw it, my blood ran cold. Still gives me shivers.... What do you guys think?" Of course the picture was of the same ghoulish figure. However this man did have another picture dated earlier from the same location.
I would love for the real owner to Please Stand Up! I have a feeling it is an advertising gimmick for Wildgame Innovations! What a way to get people talking!
