Kyle Hester-Artist

So many Bigfoot enthusiasts have artistic talent! Must be because their minds are more open and imaginative!

I received some creatively adorable artwork from Kyle Hester who is an elementary art teacher.

I asked Kyle if I could feature the artwork on my blog and told him (her?) that others might want to copy the pics and use them on Facebook to which Kyle replied,
"I would love to sell them but more importantly, for me,
I want people to enjoy them, so please post them. Please let me know
about any feedback."

So please feel free to contact Kyle at bigfootkyle@gmail.com with your feedback or simply comment here!
Enjoy!

Sorry Friends

I know there hasn't been much headway being made in proving the existence of Bigfoot to the general population. We go into the woods as often as we can looking for one shred of evidence that will keep us coming back.

Thanks to social networking, we now have access to hundreds of backyard squatchers. There are videos popping up everyday, new blogs, numerous radio shows, hundreds of blogsquatch photos and unfortunately, one too many "authorities" on the subject.

So many of you, us, want to see that indisputable piece of evidence. Some want it so badly that they actually see a Bigfoot in the pictures and videos that are quite obviously fakes or hoaxes.

Sometimes owls are simply owls. Sometimes old men walk in front of a camera and take video of themselves. Sometimes people want to be on television so badly that they create a situation to put themselves in the limelight. Enough is enough!

For the people who have had a face-to-face encounter, perhaps they can speak a little more loudly against the actions of those who are creating this hype.

Ben Rivers

Last night I received an email from a person named Ben Rivers. I have no idea who he is, I have never heard of him before and I am not sure how many others he sent this email to.

It appears Rivers has created a blog for one purpose only; to expose the Patterson-Gimlin film as a hoax.

From reading his "expose" it appears that he has not done much research. The core of his report stems from a paragraph taken from page 32 of 'Big Footprints' by Grover S. Krantz, 1992.

'The shape of a footprint can be dug into the ground with the fingers and/or a hand tool, the interior pressed flat, and it can then be photographed or cast in plaster. My first footprint cast was made by a student in just this manner (Fig.10). Roger Patterson told me he did this once in order to get a movie of himself pouring a plaster cast for the documentary he was making. (A few days later, he filmed the actual Sasquatch; See Chapter 4).'

Did Grover Krantz believe that Patterson documented a hoax?

Ben Rivers has no other posts. His blog can be accessed by clicking here.

Dr. Melba Ketchum's Public Reply

From Dr. Melba Ketchum:
Ok, for the sake of time ( and I hope all of you understand), I will answer everyone publicly here. I keep getting a lot of emails from everyone wanting to know the status of the project. Though I cannot give details or timing, I will assure everyone that all is well and we are continuing to move forward. Good science cannot be forced or quickly completed. If it is not extremely thorough, then it will all be for naught and any paper rejected outright. So, I ask you to be patient and understanding and realize that extreme scientific overkill is required in order to convince a world full of skeptical scientists. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof". This is what we are doing. When we started this, I thought we would be finished in a few weeks, but instead as Sasquatch are known to do, they threw us curve balls even with their DNA which can be as elusive as they are. Thank goodness we are past that! As a result, we have assembled a renowned team, each of us with our own specialties to make this project "extraordinary". If everyone will hang in there, I promise it will be worth the wait. We have the proof, now just give us the opportunity to present it in a form that will even convince skeptics. Thanks so much for all of your emails and support. Best wishes to all.

I'd like to hear others' opinions on this whole ordeal. There are definitely people on both sides of the fence regarding Dr. Melba Ketchum.
Do you believe that she is a legitimate DNA expert on the verge of a colossal breakthrough?
or
Do you believe she is a washed up, bankrupt veterinarian looking to make some $$ and 15 minutes of fame?
or
Something in between?

An Anonymous Comment for you to Ponder

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "The Bruce Barraclough Eyewitness Account":

I can’t help but feel a bit frustrated by the reporters reactions in this encounter. Yeah…I know; how would I react etc. etc., BUT if we’re going to conduct meaningful field research we have to abide by a couple of imperatives. While these are opinions belonging to me and my associates, I hope that readers will trust that they are based on good information and valid experience, (All I can say at this point). The first imperative is: NO guns, or if they are taken afield they must remain totally invisible at all times(before leaving the trailhead to after the conclusion of the outing and complete exit from the habitat.), and only drawn in a true life and death scenario. But: your chances of being assaulted by sasquatch are much, much less than being attacked by a black bear. Sasquatch understand guns intimately, they look for them and are very distrustful of anyone carrying them. All high tech devices create distrust. The inclusion of a detectable firearm may escalate an encounter into a very aggressive response depending on the individual creature’s family history regarding firearms. The other absolute must is that field researchers refrain from using any night vision (starlight) night vision devices that utilize an infrared LED light source), or camera devices (camera traps) utilizing the same.

Very important is the idea that we should adopt an attitude of reverence…even sacredness for the sasquatche’s immediate environment. The same as if you were visiting a dignitary holding high office somewhere—high respect.

Leave tasty food gifts at every opportunity. Playing melodic guitar music around a campfire is a good thing, if you’re in the right place you’ll have an unseen audience. Ladies; while afield realize you are probably being admired secretly, and by all means, sing softly while hiking. (never alone though)

Be unobtrusive;
This means no, non-sense signaling, (you don’t know what it may inadvertently communicate), with wood knocking or imitation calls or even call blasting. Should you believe as many do that sasquatch is fooled by this kind of crap…think again!
I watched a few minutes of FB last night; until I started getting angry and sickened by the ignorance portrayed by the actors involved—I switched over to Spongebob reruns (makes much more sense). If they only realized how ignorant and unscientific they appear, they would all be hiding under rocks instead of stupidly throwing them in the woods. They do the creature a great disservice: what decent scientist would have anything to do with investigating the phenomenon for fear of even being associated television specials such as FB. It takes an incredibly dedicated scientist (a true scientist) to publicly acknowledge the probable existence of sasquatch.
If sasquatches have a sense of humor (and I’m pretty certain they do) they have to be laughing their big butts off! The common mistake all these yahoos make is assuming they are smarter than the creature. They consistently and severely underestimate their quarry. The sasquatch has a particular, innate, and as well, finely developed intelligence with which it perceives its environment. Again they understand our technology in an organic context and they are not fooled by camera traps (excepting a rare case involving inexperienced juveniles), fake, poorly imitated calls, whoops, or samurai chatter, woodknocking, and rock throwing, pheromone lures etc. etc. Any resident creatures within a particular territory know immediately when humans (and especially buffoons) enter. Actions by amateur field researchers have had the net effect of increasing the species knowledge and confidence of human behavior, which has possibly led to increased casual sightings. (Maybe a good thing)

Yeah…there’s a squatch in them woods—but you’ll never see him.

Rest in Peace Shane McMahon

One of our friends, a fellow researcher, Shane McMahon passed away last night after battling a very aggressive cancer.
His brother relayed this message this morning: "My brother, Shane, just passed away in the last hour. Sorry to say he just turned 40 years old. He had cancer in a large amount of areas. He is now with God in Heaven. Say hi to your brothers, sisters, friends, moms and dads because you never know how long you have to say just hi. He finally has peace after months of dealing with something that would even make a king humble. Thanks to all of you for your support and love for my Big brother Shane."
Peace be with you Shane

Tracking Bigfoot-Available on Kindle

Lori Simmons was devastated upon the death of her father, Donald Wallace. As a tribute to him, she continued to work on the book that Donald was in the process of writing about his experiences searching for the elusive creature we call Bigfoot.

"After the passing of our father’s death we needed to fulfill a promise to him. That promise was to share my dad’s knowledge of tracking Bigfoot. It was our father’s dying wish to publish his book called Tracking Bigfoot. Our father Donald Lee Wallace was man who lived in the North Cascade Mt. for the past 30 years. He tracked Bigfoot for the past 28 years. He lived off the land and appreciated each day God gave him. My father battled cancer for many years. I believe that due to the years of living in the Mt. and a trapper before that made him an expert when it came to reading the woods. I remember walking down the trail with our dad to go fishing and he would point out different tracks by the animals that live in the woods. My dad fishing would be putting on his waiter boots and stand out in the roaring river. The beauty that surrounded us. The sense of relaxation. I knew why he was a Mt. Man. He didn’t have to deal with the city stress instead he could enjoy the relaxation of the mountains."-Lori Simmons

The Kindle version of the book, Tracking Bigfoot,is available today. The hard copy of the book should be available within the next week.

For every book sold, $1 will go towards cancer research.

The Bruce Barraclough Eyewitness Account

Who is this Bruce Barraclough?

I had never heard of him until a couple of weeks ago when I was invited to listen to his radio show. Another radio show? Several people told me that his show was actually pretty good and I should give it a listen. I then received a message from Bruce and we introduced ourselves and soon I was on the phone with him writing up an article on his incredible encounter he experienced on his recent Squatching expedition. Enjoy!

Bruce Barraclough- North Eastern Anomalous Research

Georgia Incident-October 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th, 2011

Location: Northern part of Georgia, in the Chattahoochee National Forest

Bruce and his group consisting of 4 members were invited to research with Jan Allen and his group, the GBRI (Georgia Bigfoot Research and Investigation.) They arrived at the location on Friday afternoon about 4:30 and began unloading their gear from the vehicle when a member of the other team yelled out, “Up the road one just ran across the road!” The sighting occurred approximately 100-150 yards from base camp. Is this possible? Could they actually have activity already? Bruce could tell this was going to be a very interesting weekend.

They continued to set up camp. It was a quiet evening with the group sitting around the campfire getting to know each other and sharing stories of their personal squatching adventures. At 2:30 am Bruce was assigned the first night watch. He heard some rustling and movement in the woods, but nothing unusual for nighttime activity. At 5 am he woke up another team member to take over the watch. He decided to stay up and chat then they hiked about 50 yards up the road and made some wild animal calls . Nothing happened. They walked about 10 feet up the trail when a rock came sailing at them from behind! They did more calls and nothing else happened.

They returned to camp and the other group members awoke and the new day had begun. The girl who spotted the bigfoot crossing the road the previous afternoon took them to the point where she saw it cross and they found prints. Bruce walked further into the woods and found a tree broken in half, the tree was placed upside down on another tree, he looked around and discovered 3 more of the same exact tree formations forming a triangular area. There was also a bent and twisted fir tree.

They took pics headed back to camp ate lunch then split into 2 teams. Two members stayed at base camp and the other 2 groups split up. Bruce’s team headed towards the area with the tree formations, the other group stayed on the trail. About a mile down the road the other team did tree knocks. Silence. Bruce did tree knocks, again, silence. They did a rock knock then and they got a loud response. On the hike they noticed what appeared to be mountain lion tracks. Bruce being sick with the flu realized he couldn’t descend the hill any further. He stayed behind with a 45 mm weapon as the others continued down the trail. They realized there was heavy movement in the canyon below. Bruce continued on back to base camp. He then heard something heavy being thrown. He then experienced violent tree shaking. He quickened his pace. He felt and heard footsteps assuming he was being followed.

Not being embarrassed he then began talking to his guest. He offered a drink from his canteen to the unknown stalker and left his canteen on the middle of the trail.

He radioed the other group and asked them to retrieve his canteen when they returned. A while later they radioed him and asked him if he had left a turtle shell on top of the canteen!

He joined them to see for himself and discovered the canteen had a turtle shell on top of the emptied canteen!

He believes that the forest visitor left him a gift.

They returned to base camp to discuss the event. Of course adrenaline is running high. A half hour into their discussion Bruce decided to set up trail cams.

He baited the area with every snack item he had in his possession. And nothing touched the items.

Another member had watch that evening and experienced constant movement and the next morning they found various sizes of tracks and they cast them.

He claims that at early dawn, in the blue of the light, he saw a large dark creature run past camp.

Looking for a food source for the creatures, Bruce took his team down the trail they only saw a few deer and a couple of berry bushes. They saw abandoned mines on the map but didn’t find them.

He has no idea what they are eating.

A 19 ½ inch track was photographed, but it was older and had some water damage.

Around 3 pm another person claims to have seen another one run across the trail! They took off in pursuit of the creature but were soon consumed by the heavy foliage. They were then in a vulnerable position so they returned to camp.

Around dusk they set out glow sticks. (cam lights) 4 on every other tree. They split up in 2 groups about 200 yards from each other. No one was left at Base Camp Lots of movement on parabolic. His camcorder battery dies. Instead of going back to base camp with everybody he headed back to camp with his Gen 3 night vision scope and his 45mm. He walked up the trail alone about 100 yards and could see the base camp he saw the campfire then off to the left he saw 2 sets of eye shine. He began making noise to scare off the creatures in case it was bear or deer, but then as he glanced back towards the camp, he saw the huge creature step in front of a tree and stop and stand there and stare at him, motionless. He could see clearly through the Gen 3. He reached for his weapon but couldn’t release it from the holster. He grabbed the radio and called for the group to return to the camp.

From the Gen 3 he assumed the creature was dark brown to black in color. It appeared to be 8 feet using a 6’5” team member as a guide.
The creature puffed up his chest and put out his arms (like a body builder) and turned and stomped into the woods.

It ducked behind a tree on the right hand side, then ducked down behind another tree on the left hand side. Then was gone.

Bruce collapsed from the emotions and needed to use his asthma inhaler. His emotions ran from fear, to exhilaration. Emotions too overwhelming to process.

Then during the night watch they noticed one of the glow sticks begin to move…he decided to wait till others were awake, to go check out the glow stick.

About a half hour before waking the next crew for watch, he heard branches breaking, heavy movement. He got the weapon out and called out into the woods warning that he had the gun out in case someone was messing with him.
He woke up the others and went to check the glow stick. They found out that the glow stick was removed and tied to a lower branch.

He was going into the tent when he caught sight of something. A formation of branches was placed next to his tent! This had to have been the breaking and rustling he heard while he was on his watch. Now it was personal!

To be continued and hopefully photos will be added...

"American Bigfoot scientists and researchers felt hoodwinked by Russian Yeti event"

Source-Doubtful Newsblog

Dr. Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomy and anthropologist at Idaho State University, has spoken out about his recent excursion to Siberia to examine the existence of the Russian Yeti. Dr. Meldrum was a featured speaker at the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Conference in Youngwood, PA on Sunday, October 23. His conclusion: the yeti evidence was poor and he and other researchers were brought to Russia to add credibility to the local claim that yetis live in the area.

His presentation, entitled “The Russian Connection”, was not the listed topic on the schedule. He noted that he changed his topic upon advice from the conference organizers after the media storm that ensued regarding the announcement that “scientists were 95% convinced” that the Russian Yeti exists. Along with American scientist John Bindernagle, and researcher Ron Morehead, Meldrum was part of the team invited to Kemerovo region of Siberia to discuss the formation of a scientific commission to study the yeti. Led to believe there was significant scientific interest by the academic institutions in the area, Meldrum expressed his dismay when the press coverage was greater than the public and academic interactions.

In his talk, Meldrum described the players involved in the conference that began in Moscow and ended in Kemerovo. Specifically, he named Igor Burtsev, director of the International Centre of Hominology in Tashtagol, Kemerovo region. Burtsev already holds the belief that yetis exist in the area and are a Neanderthal relic population.

Meldrum showed photographs and described how the local Russian contingent greeted and treated the invitees with much pomp and ceremony but little scientific protocol.

As in scientific conferences, the attendees were taken on a field trip to a cave in the municipality of Tashtagol. Meldrum said he began to get concerned about the event when twisted and broken trees were rather conveniently located near the sites they visited. Reservations about what he had gotten himself into grew when he noticed saw cuts in the trees. The guides pointed to every bent and broken tree as marks of the yeti. From what Meldrum observed, the cave was not remote but apparently visited rather frequently with the trail maintained by the local municipality. The group was told the cave was a probable yeti habitation. Inside the cave, Meldrum notes that “right on cue”, isolated footprints and a “nest” were pointed out by their hosts.

Meldrum’s impression was that the “evidence” looked more like a staged event. Only right foot impressions were found, not a trackway as would be expected. His remark about the creature “playing hopscotch?” made it into the local press reports. The print had uncharacteristic pressure ridges that Meldrum described as consistent with that made from a rigid wooden imprint.

When a comment was made that the “nest” hardly looked used, Burtsev jumped into it himself for a photo opportunity, oblivious of any potential evidence that might have been there. A hair sample was collected in the cave but not from the nest.

Thank you Sharon Hill for that wonderful report!

New Report-Salt Fork State Park

This report comes to me from a very credible employee from Salt Fork State Park.

The incident occurred this past week and was relayed to the employee.

"A muzzleloader hunter was out hunting near the group camp. It was really early, rainy and very foggy. He decided to go back to camp to wait out the weather. He said as he was walking back, he saw something standing slightly uphill, behind a tree and peeking out around it at him. He said he leaned one way to see what it was, and it would duck behind the tree and peek out on the other side of the tree. It was tall and hairy, he said he thought it was a guy in a ghillie suit at first, but it wasn't. He said it ducked around a few more times and then ducked completely behind the tree. He said he walked towards the tree and it was gone and he never saw it walk away or anything. He probably would of gone into more detail, but the guys around him were giving him some grief, so he kinda clammed up. So, I don't know. Those guys have come for muzzleloader season every year for at least the past 15 years and haven't ever seen or said they've seen anything- I believe he probably did see something."

Wild Animals-Suicide???? Zaney Zainesville!

The town of Zanesville, Ohio, was on lock down on Wednesday morning, with schools closed and drivers told to stay in their cars as police tracked dozens of wild animals who escaped from a nearby preserve.

The Columbus Dispatch reported that the man who ran the preserve — which included lions, tigers and bears, among other dangerous animals — had been found dead. It was unclear what killed the man, who was identified as Terry Thompson.

Flashing lights on the roads warned early morning commuters of the loose animals.

Speaking on CNN on Wednesday morning, Jack Hanna, former director of the Columbus Zoo, advised residents to remain calm if they see one of the animals. “Do not run,” he said.

Deputies in Ohio’s Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office found themselves in unfamiliar territory Tuesday night: They were perched in the back of pickup trucks hunting for big game — lions, tigers, bears and even cheetahs — in the middle of Ohio.

Some four dozen animals escaped on Tuesday from an exotic animal farm in Zanesville, Ohio, and were loose in the area, according to the sheriff’s office. Law enforcement officials arrived at the farm, identified by The Associated Press as the Muskingum County Animal Farm, to find the owner, Terry Thompson, dead and the animal cages open.

“I would recommend staying in doors right now,” said Sheriff Matthew J. Lutz.

No attacks or injuries had been reported as of Tuesday evening, Mr. Lutz said, but several local schools announced they would be closed on Wednesday, at the sheriff’s recommendation.

In a news conference Tuesday evening, Mr. Lutz said that his deputies had shot and killed about 25 of the animals, including lions and wolves. That left about 20 more very large animals roaming the area.

“I’m going to say the word ‘mature,’ ” Mr. Lutz said. “Very big. Aggressive.”

He continued: “We’ve got a little bit of a list compiled. Mainly there were grizzly bears and black bears there. There were cheetahs, there were lions and there were tigers. Those are the primary things that we would be concerned with.”

Mr. Lutz said that while he was not certain the farm’s owner, Mr. Thompson, was current on his permits, he had been in the past. But that seemed to offer little comfort to the sheriff.

“Let’s just say, it’s a little loose,” Mr. Lutz said of the permit process, “in my opinion.”

2011 PA UFO and Bigfoot Conference

Public Service Announcement

Last night on the Squatch Detective radio show, Steve Kulls' guest was retired forest ranger Charles Branson of Honobia, Oklahoma.

Charles claims to have had interactions with bigfoots on his property for many, many years. The activity was such on his land that several organizations became interested in researching the area.

The individuals were always honest and upfront with Charles and for the past 10 years he has allowed them to place trail cams on what is discreetly known as "Area X".

Members of the organization are required to pay dues and to commit "service hours" for the organization. One of the chores required of certain members is to go to "Area X" and replace the cards and batteries on the trail cameras.

Charles had no problem with the researchers using his property until this past July 4th, when the organization's mission turned into more than just research.

One of the researchers caught sight of a bigfoot creature and took off in pursuit firing his AK 47 assault rifle with the intent to kill.

This organization and others, is often turning to the public pleading for donations to further their "research". If the organization has changed its original mission statement and have changed their stance from a "no-kill" to a "pro-kill" operation, then their donors should be made aware of this new practice.

The following has been transcribed from the Squatch Detective radio show last night:

At the 12:57 minute mark:

Steve: Have you ever gotten anybody that's ever come forward with a video to you, that, that you feel was a legitimate video?

Charles: Oh, we had some, uh.. We were letting some BRFO researchers from Oklahoma and Texas use our cabin facilities for the past ten years and they kept game cameras out all the time.

At the 15:15 minute mark:

Charles: We had a 4th of July incident in this area that I'm telling you about. It's OK to expand on it?

Steve: Sure...

Charles: ... researcher was actually shooting at one, trying to kill it with an AK-47. (unintelligible)

So we stopped them from using our facilities because, we know those folks are there, we don't want them bothered. They're non-violent, and we've watched them, ya know, for years, their habits and everything.

And uh, he was actually trying to kill one. And was honest enough to admit it. Which I admire, because there's not one in ten million that would admit that.

At the 27:10 mark:

Charles: ...they change seasonal their fur, just like other wildlife does.

And like this one, the 4th of July incident, uh, this fella said this one was about six and a half, seven foot tall.

He had light brown hair on his shoulders and up around his neck, real light brown and the rest of him was dark.

At the 52:43 minute mark.

Steve: Charles, you have such an appreciation for these things. Um, um, you...

Charles: They're wonderful people.

Steve: And uh, it seems like you've had more than one run in with these guys. It seems like you've almost had a nice relationship with them.

Charles: Yes, and they know it.

Steve: Now do they recognize people after a time, spell of time?

Charles: I think so. Spiritually I think they do. They're super smart. And uh, they, they can just feel...

And also, for your information, I've had... If you ever attack one, you better be careful, because they don't forget it.

Steve: Ha ha, ha... I guess not. Now have you ever known anyone to have ever attacked one or...?

Charles: Well I just told you about the 4th of July this year tried to kill one with an AK-47.

But when we go to the cabins, this hunting season, we're gonna have to be extra careful and communicate with them fellas. Ya know, let 'em know that wasn't us pulling that trigger.

We live... They're wonderful. I just wish everybody could learn to appreciate 'em more. And uh, I respect any person's right to not believe. But I also expect the same respect on my beliefs, ya know.

Steve: Now Charles, Charl...

Charles: If everybody could work together and stop the ridicule, just learn from each other then we could really move on with this thing.

And then at the 56:12 minute mark

Steve: Now the person trying to cap one with the AK-47, was that, that wasn't at your property was it?

Charles: Yes it was.

Steve: Ok, so now...

Charles: For ten years. we have give them permission to use the cabins because every so many months they go change their cameras out, see... And they was studying their habits, researching'. Uh, in fact, I've been there with them when they've played their recordings and get callbacks from 'em. I mean, it's the real deal.

But, we don't want them bothered, ya know. Well, that's it.

Steve: (unintelligible) but no guns...

At the 57:57 minute mark

Steve: Now, I have another question, and this goes back to the AK-47 incident, and that struck a political cord with some folks, and I'm gonna go ahead and honor the question.

Was there a particular group that was associated with this AK-47 incident?

Charles: Well, uh, it's BRFO, but I will not mention no names.

Steve: OK.

Charles: Because, the person has been extremely honest. And admitted it...

Steve: It wasn't the Texas group, or was it the Texas group?

Charles: Well Oklahoma and Texas both work together.

Steve: Gotcha. Gotcha. Well, that answers that question I suppose.

Steve: You sure it was the BFRO and not the, uh, next question, used to be the, gotcha Craig...

Charles: Well that's what they claim, but it could not be, ya know there's several splinter groups that says BRFO. I don't know whether it's official or not.

Steve: Is it possible that it could have been a group called the TRBC? Is it possible that you mixed those two up.

Charles: I'm not for sure (unintelligible) BRF...

You can listen to the archived show here: Squatch Detective Radio Show-Guest Charles Branson

For the record, the BFRO is not to be implicated in this story in any way. Mr. Branson was not sure of all of the letters in the acronym.

Letters From the Big Man

This year at the Ashland Independent Film Festival, Letters from the Big Man, which was written and directed by Christopher Munch won the Gerald Hirschfeld A.S.C. Cinematography Award.

The story revolves around "Sarah Smith, an artist and government hydrologist, who sets out on a post-fire stream survey in a remote part of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness of southwestern Oregon. In the course of her journey through this ancient and ecologically diverse land, she unwittingly finds herself interacting with a sasquatch man, and a mutual curiosity ensues. As their friendship deepens, Sarah must take bold steps to protect his privacy, as well as her own."


I am awaiting my review copy but from the trailer, this movie appears to be one that FINALLY depicts the sasquatch as the gentle, intelligent creature we believe him to be.

Kate Bush Cries Out to Warn the Yeti

Kate Bush has released her new single, which is about the existence of the Yeti, on the very same day that the government of the Russian coal mining region of Kemerovo has announced the discovery of "indisputable proof" of the existence of the Yeti. It's also interesting that the talk-singing verses of Bush's song, "Wild Man," rhythmically echo those in the Pixies' "Tame." Although Bush seems to think that we humans will not bother trying to tame our giant, wooly, bipedal cousins once we catch one of them. "They want to know you," she sings, warning the Yeti to run. "They will hunt you down/Then they will kill you."

Pay No Attention to That Man Behind the Iron Curtain

This past week Russian Yeti researchers are claiming to have discovered ‘indisputable proof’ of the fabled beast after grey hair was found in a remote Russian cave.”
(On a side note, Ron Morehead, John Bindernagle and Dr. Jeff Meldrum were in Russia for this conference and may have visited the cave leaving behind a few of their silver locks! If only Loren and Craig Woolheater were there!)
Loren Coleman urges the research community that to see the phrase “indisputable proof” spread like wildfire has been unfortunate, for there is no zoological or anthropological proof of anything. It appears the conference organizers or the cryptotourism officials of Kemerovo or both were so interested in putting a good spin on the results of their “expedition” that they have overblown the results.

Memorial Day Footage Filmaker Killed in Automobile Crash

From Loren Coleman-

Owen Pate whose claim to Bigfoot fame was the legendary Memorial Day Footage has died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident this past weekend.


Our condolences to his family.

It's a Wrap!

The Animal Planet Finding Bigfoot crew was overwhelmed by the turnout of Bigfoot researchers, witnesses and enthusiasts. Thanks to the Ohio chapter of the BFRO, the crowd exceeded 160 in numbers, more than any other Town Hall meeting Finding Bigfoot has held!

We had advertised for everyone to arrive by 6 pm for the 7 pm meeting. I arrived at 6:20 and was blown away by the amount of cars in the parking lot! I gathered up my gear and headed towards the entrance of the Deerassic Park auditorium. Upon entering I was instructed to fill out the paperwork that gives Animal Planet permission to use your photos and video. Ugh, I did not want my fat butt seen on t.v. so hopefully I hid well enough.

I heard my name called out and I turned to see Dr. Russ Jones and his posse standing at the doorway. I joined them and was introduced to several BFRO members including Mark Maisel. I have to tell you, I might join the BFRO just for the eye candy! We chatted for awhile as more and more people were filtering in.
Mark then asked one of the producers if it was ok for me to take pictures and I was given permission.

I scanned the room looking for familiar faces. In attendance were Don Keating and his wife Missey. Shocker! I thought Don wouldn't be in the same room with Matt given their history. I had also heard a rumor that Don told the folks at Salt Fork that if they let the Finding Bigfoot crew hold their town hall meeting at the lodge that Don would not use Salt Fork ever again for another conference. Well guess what folks, that is one big, fat lie! I talked to several key people who assured me that there was no merit to that statement. Case closed!

There were so many people that I have never met before in attendance and Russ was keeping count of every butt in every seat, not including the crew.

We were all asked to take our seats and as I was sitting in the back row, I looked over my right shoulder and saw Matt, Cliff and Ranae standing in the shadows prepared to make their grand entrance.

The trio entered and marched down the aisle to an eruption of cheers and applause! They looked tired but happy. They have been traveling non-stop for so many weeks now and will not get a break until December. The new season will air in January.

Well, as you can imagine, filming a television show is quite the production. There were several times when the audience was asked to repeat scenes and the Finding Bigfoot gang were instructed to stand here, stop, say that again, refresh the battery pack, etc.

The trio introduced themselves to the audience and then asked how many people had witnessed a Bigfoot, or heard one or had a story to tell. At least 40 hands shot up and, as we would soon find out, the crew was going to listen to every single one.

The stories were the same we hear every day and soon they had gotten through all but one. The very last hand standing was that of Phil Brocco. He stood up to introduce himself and I thought to myself "Oh no." At the first utterance of his name, the audience and crew were taken aback by his unusually high pitched voice. Matt's expression was priceless! Phil began talking about his experience and how he was "meditating in the lake" and he heard the movement of something large all around him but when he heard a loud splash in the water, he screamed, "you know, like a man". When he said that the crowd erupted in laughter and it was the perfect ending to the long and tedious production.

The producers then informed the audience that they could meet and mingle with the crew for about 10 minutes.

During the production, Matt Moneymaker gave Don Keating all of the credit for putting Ohio Bigfooting on the map. It was nice to see Don get the recognition that he deserves.

Don and Matt shook hands and took pics together during the meet and greet and the entire crew were very gracious posing for pictures and speaking to their fans.

Bobo could not be in attendance as it was his shift to camp out with the gear. He was missed.

Several witnesses remained to plot their sightings on the map and after about 45 minutes the crowd dissipated to some stragglers who wanted to talk and take pictures with the gang.

I ended up chatting with Cliff for about 15 minutes, catching up with him. He looked so extremely handsome and glowing. I am so happy for him. Before we knew it, the crew had packed up and I never did get a chance to meet Matt. His loss. ;)

All in all it was a great representation of Ohio researchers and we proved our sincerity and dedication to the quest.

Great job guys!

Finding Bigfoot in Ohio

Tims of a feather flock together....that's all I'm sayin 'bout that!

Tim Stover so humbly posted this on his Facebook page: "Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet wants to film me next Sunday for an interview and recreation of my 1992 sighting for a future episode. Wow I'm nervous ! Thanks to Natalie the field producer for the wonderful phone call!" He then receives a bunch of congratulations and encouragement from his fans and adds this sweet little comment, "Thanks. I'm a little nervous but people tell me I'm a natural in front of a camera or during my public appearances." So proud of our little Timmy!

Then his good buddy Fasano felt he needed to commend Stover for his hard work via his Youtube account.

On the other side of town, Joedy Cook is nursing his wounded ego because he is shocked and surprised that the Finding Bigfoot producers didn't respond to his numerous attempts to woo them with his charms. In his own words, (misspelled words and all) he laments: "i dont think there going to use me for the show. i'm the only bigfoot researcher in ohio thet written several books on the ohio bigfoot. i think i'm a threat to them becouse i know what i'm talking about. they ask to for information on saltfork state park sightings and bigfoot in ohio, so i sent info on my books and thats the last i heard from then oh well lol.

How DARE they do that to Joedy! Of course him and Stover represent Ohio's finest Bigfoot researchers!

Well, as Billy Green says, to be continued indeedy! I will be there tonight at the Town Hall meeting at Deerassic Park to get first hand information to share with you all!

Saturday Night Squatching

You know, sometimes you just get the fever to be out in the woods and that's how it hit me this past Saturday. I was working at Macy's till 7:45 pm. On my feet all day and my 12th day in a row of working between both jobs. Nancy Snodgrass called me that afternoon and had invited me to come down with them. They have a 3 room tent, an air mattress and enough food for 12 people.
So I planned it out, I would get home by 9 throw some stuff in the Squatchmobile and be there by midnight. Why the hell not??? I had no other plans!
I arrived at the handicap area at 11:45 pm at Salt Fork State Park. Nancy and Bernie were creeping around the parking lot trying to scare me. Come on guys! You KNOW I am fearless!

All of a sudden I am hearing whistles and howls and wood knocks and I'm thinking, What the heck is going on here? Well, it turns out that there were 6 other researchers in the area.

It was great to see all my old friends and there was a flurry of activity and conversations as they all played catch up with me.

We settled into our two groups and pretty much chatted the whole night. At times Nancy would speak to her unseen friends in the woods. At one point I heard a very strange "wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh" sound that was low and reverberating. If anyone has an explanation for that I'd appreciate it because I had also heard that sound in Honobia, Oklahoma in 2009.

Black walnuts are falling from the trees this time of year so you have to be careful as to what you call rock throwing. Well, we had both. There is a definitive whiz and a thud from a 2 lb rock. Especially when you feel the breeze going past your head.

This would go on all night, stopping for periods of time. After a period of silence Nancy decided to start singing Should I stay or Should I go by the Clash. I joined in and the critics were not happy. A couple more rocks were thrown but that was about it.

We then headed back to camp at 4 a.m. and I was asleep within 5 minutes.
We woke 4 hours later and Nancy prepared a 4 course breakfast all from one pan!
After breakfast, Nancy and I headed back to the area to check for rocks, etc. No luck. Well now we are confused because not only are there no rocks, there are no walnuts in the area we thought they'd be in. Again, another fun night in the woods, but nothing conclusive.
We hiked down into the woods and found some cool stick structures.

We headed back to camp because I wanted to leave to get back in time to watch the Browns play.

There is no such thing as a bad night in the woods as far as I'm concerned. It beats a good day at work every time!

I will be heading down again this Wednesday to report on the events at the Town Hall meeting being held by the Finding Bigfoot production. I will take pics and share the hijinx with you!

Till then!

Beachfoot-Part 2

I froze the entire night. Around 5 am I heard a bear/chipmunk scrounging around on the picnic table outside of my tent. Please just kill me before I die of hypothermia. A bright light emits from Tom's tent. He chases the chipmunk/mouse away. I realize that I am not dying fast enough so I decide I am going to fight to live. I unzip the tent and begin looking for the car key in the darkness. I can't find it. The back door to Jerry's Squatchmobile pops open and Jerry says, "Are you cold? Do you need another sleeping bag?" He tosses me another sleeping bag and his door pops, shut. Just a friendly Jerry-in-the-box. I then go back to my tent and double up the sleeping bags, cover my head and finally begin to warm up. I drifted off to sleep. I was wakened a couple hours later by the lovely aroma of bacon in the air. I love you Yams.
The camp began to slowly come alive with people murmuring and shivering, eating bacon, eggs, donuts, coffee, yes, the hum of Jerry's generator made us all aware of the amount of gasoline it takes to make a pot of coffee.

The presentations were to begin at 11 am beginning with Ron Morehead, but somehow the socializing just took on a life of its own and it was well after 2 pm when he began his presentation on the Sierra Sounds and his findings over the past 39+ years.
His recordings are absolutely amazing and I suggest you order a copy as they are the "real deal".

The analysis of the creatures' sounds and the integrity of the recordings were presented in a symposium at the University of British Columbia in 1978 it wasn’t until March of 2008 that a Crypto-Linguistic team of experts trained by the military discovered a complex language within the recordings.

These unique sounds suggest an insight into the nature of these elusive primates. The years of experienced intermittent encounters have suggested that these entities are more than just another animal in the woods...much more.

When Ron played some of his recordings, Patty's dog, Aries jumped up and became agitated and barked! It was quite an effective visual aid to Ron's presentation!

After an extensive Q&A session, Todd Neiss was presented with a gift from Joe Beelart who was not in attendance and the rest of us. Since he had served in Iraq, he was now a warrior and was gifted a Nepalese Khukuri knife.

After a huge ass cook out with way too much food, Tim gave his presentation on Solid Phase Micro-Extraction: the Next Step in collecting Bigfoot Evidence. He explained how to capture the pheremones or scent that is released in the air using a technique that he has been working on for a few years. He asked me not to offer any of his research to my readers, however here is what I have compiled to help you understand what the presentation was about.

Scent evidence is valuable because it can establish probable identification of the source. Human scent, like fingerprints, is unique to each individual and cannot be masked. Scent discriminating dogs can detect sweat, oils, gases, and shed skin cells. In addition, scent can be collected by placing a sterile gauze pad on the evidence and trapping the scent in the gauze. The future holds hope in proving beyond a shadow of a doubt to the scientific community that scent is evidence, that it’s always there and trackable, and that it has the ability to be used to connect the source to other forms of evidence such as hair or scat samples.

His presentation was quite informative and fascinating!

We then concluded with Orey Innis sharing his recordings of vocalizations that he and his son captured during their research.

It was then time to open up the wine and gather 'round the campfire. We sang and danced until the Sheriff showed up! We are wild like that!

It was so hard to say goodbye to everyone the next morning. I had made this trip without my usual posse and by Sunday, I had a whole new bunch of friends!

Oregon Travels

I arrived in Portland, Oregon and was greeted by the ever-so-charming Tim Cassidy, who was scheduled to give a presentation at Beachfoot.

We picked up the rental car and programmed our destination into the gps and headed southwest towards the ocean. Tim insisted we stop to dine at Gracie's Sea Hag restaurant for some seafood.

After lunch we headed next door to Ainslee's and picked up some salt water taffy for the road.
We coordinated our arrival to Beverly Beach with Tom Yamarone and Jerry Hein. Upon our arrival we were welcomed by Peter Byrne and Diane Stocking who was in charge of this year's event due to the overseas deployment of Ssg. Todd Neiss.
After lots of hugs we set up camp then headed down to the beach. The temperature difference from Portland to Newport was chilling! I was glad that I listened to Tom and packed some warm clothes.

We returned to camp and a car rolls up and a shy, young lad by the name of Andy Robson joins our camp. Andy has had his own Bigfoot encounters and his grandfather was interviewed in the 50's as a witness by the legendary John Green.

The guests began trickling in. Ron Morehead, Judy, Joe Hauser and Patricia, Bob and Patti Reinhart, Hal and Lupe Halderman, Matt Johnson and Cynthia, Shawn Jones and his 4 yr old daughter Elyse. We received word that Beth Heikkinen would not be attending due to the flu. Todd Neiss was still in Washington waiting to be flown to Portland!
We ran to the store for some grub and once we all had eaten, the fire was started and the guitars came out and Tom and Ron entertained us with their acoustical talents.
Finally the jeep comes rolling into camp and out pops our hero, Todd Neiss. Hugs and kisses and thanks and congratulations were dispersed and we continued with the party into the wee hours of the morning.

To be continued....
don't forget to order your 2012 Faces of Bigfoot Research Calendar!

Oregon Beachfoot Sighting

I have just returned from Beachfoot 2011, which is a gathering of researchers and experts such as Ron Morehead and Peter Byrne.

I had the opportunity to sit and talk with some folks from the west coast and had a great time in Oregon.

This story was told to us by Dan Patino of Colorado who is a good friend of Todd Neiss. Dan is a former police officer and park ranger.

Dan and his girlfriend had been traveling up the Oregon Coast and just before sunset, they decided to pull over and camp out for the evening on a bluff at Winema beach near Christian camp.

They had set up their tent and had a fire started just after sunset when they noticed a "person" off in the distance walking up the beach towards them. The "person" seemed to be looking for something in the sand and the couple didn't pay much attention to him. As the "person" came closer they realized that he was extremely large. They couldn't believe what they were seeing as he appeared to be over 8 feet tall! As the huge figure passed in front of them and their fire, approximately 30 feet from them, they noticed that he was covered in hair! The creature did not even glance at them and his stride was quick though he appeared to be "gliding" across the sand due to the ease and flow of his gait.

After he passed and continued down the beach, Dan ran to the footprints to see how big they were. After a few minutes his girlfriend began screaming to him to "RUN! It's coming back!!!" Dan ran back to the tent and again the creature breezed past them without a glance.

The couple was terrified and ran to their car only to realize that the keys were still in the tent! After about 45 minutes, Dan regained his composure and went to the tent to get the car keys. The couple remained in the car until sunset, too traumatized to sleep.

At sunrise they went to the beach and took the pictures you see here:

More to come from Beachfoot 2011!

Finding Bigfoot

I had started a Facebook page for Bobo awhile back, before his Finding Bigfoot fame...and now we are at 500 fans and loving it!

The Davis Report

Here is a new site to visit regularly for updates on the work of M.K. Davis.
The Davis Report
Marlon Keith Davis (b. 1955 in Canton, Mississippi) is an amateur astronomer who used off-the-shelf software packages to enhance the Patterson-Gimlin film (PGF).

Davis began his research into the PGF after seeing a copy of Frame 352 (the most famous frame of the film) in a photo by Bruce Bonney sometime in 1997; he decided he could use his skills with astro-photography and off-the-shelf software to perhaps clarify the film.

MK Davis has appeared in a number of documentaries and in a low-budget fictionalized movie called An Encounter With Reality.

As time progressed Davis made claims of seeing various items in the film, including scars, bullet holes, braids and clasps in the hair, tumors, a stick in the left hand of "Patty" and other anomalies on the creature itself.

In late 2006 he announced that, based on his research, he thought the creature was a human.

Davis is currently cooperating with Florida film-maker John Johnsen on a DVD project highlighting his 10 years of research. ~ Courtesy of Squatchopedia

Ketchum Bigfoot DNA Study 2011 - Timeline of BIGFOOT DNA EVENTS

Last updated: 7/19/11

(Welcome to the newly designed OregonBigfoot.com. The members' archives are in the midst of redesign and the rest of the public site will soon follow. )

For those of you who haven't heard the news, there is a comprehensive Bigfoot DNA study being conducted by Melba Ketchum, et al., and word has it that the results, after what has been a long wait, will officially be made public fairly soon.

I have been following this closely and will attempt to give you a rundown here of the timeline of events thus far. If you'd like to receive notification of updates to this page via the Oregon Bigfoot blog, please sign up for blog updates via email.

Read the entire report here!

Mike Rugg on the Sierra Kills

Now, I am going to throw this out there for you all to discuss. The Olympic Project, The Adrian Erickson Project and the TBIG all claim to be on the verge of blowing Bigfoot Research out of the water with DNA evidence! All 3 organizations claiming the same evidence at the same exact time! Well, I think it is odd that all 3 samples are claiming to conclusive evidence, and all 3 are being analyzed by Dr. Melba Ketchum! What are your thoughts?
