GET THE BOOK: "HUNT FOR THE SKINWALKER" by Colm Kellerher & George Knapp THE SMOKING GUN EVIDENCE THAT SASQUATCH IS 'OTHER DIMENSIONAL'. How it all started - Part 1 Is A Utah Ranch The Strangest Place On Earth? Part II The activities seem most concentrated on a 480-acre cattle ranch owned by the family of Tom Gorman. (Gorman isn't his real name.) In 1996, the ranch was purchased by Las Vegas businessman Robert Bigelow, who arranged for an intense, ongoing scientific study of events at the ranch. By agreement with Bigelow, and at the request of many of the witnesses, a few names have been changed or omitted to protect those who don't want to be hassled by media outlets or UFO enthusiasts. It began as a dull white light, appearing out of nowhere in the darkness of the middle homestead of the Gorman ranch. Tom Gorman saw it. So did a researcher named Chad Deetken. It was nearly 2 a.m. on Aug. 28, 1997. Gorman and Deetken were out in the pasture as part of an ongoing effort to document unusual activity on the property. Both men watched intently as the light grew brighter. It was as if someone had opened a window or doorway. Gorman grabbed his night vision binoculars to get a better look but could hardly believe what he was seeing. The dull light began to resemble a bright portal, and at one end of the portal, a large, black humanoid figure seemed to be struggling to crawl through the tunnel of light. After a few minutes, the humanoid figure wriggled out of the light and took off into the darkness. As it did, the window of light snapped shut, as if someone had flicked the "off" switch. Deetken had the presence of mind to snap a few photos of the event, but would later learn that his film had recorded little of what the two men had witnessed. Tom Gorman, his wife, two teenage kids and several extended family members had grown accustomed to weird things happening at the ranch. They had seen numerous UFO-type craft, as well as balls of light that seemed to be intelligently controlled. Their neighbors had seen them too. Residents of this basin have been reporting similar phenomena since the '50s. Native Americans say the sightings extend back even further. But aerial anomalies weren't the strangest occurrences on or near the ranch, not by a longshot. In his two years on the property, Tom Gorman had lost 14 head of cattle from his hybrid herd. Some animals simply disappeared, as if plucked from the sky. Others were carved up with surgical precision. Family members and neighbors had also seen Bigfoot-like creatures, oversized wolves, animals and birds that no one could identify. Their horses had been attacked, their dogs incinerated, their cats abducted. The Gormans themselves were bedeviled,
almost daily, by odd little household incidents that,
separately, wouldn't amount to much, but when considered
together, were hard to dismiss. Clothing, tools and appliances seemed to develop lives of their own. But this wasn't the equivalent of socks disappearing in the laundry. For example, Gorman's son worked up a considerable sweat to meticulously stack a one-ton pile of cord wood on the south side of a treeline in the middle homestead. He took a 30-minute water break and returned to find that the ton of wood had been moved 100 yards to the north side of the tree line. Tools often disappeared, then reappeared on the range. In one instance, a heavy post hole digger vanished. It was finally discovered, days later, high up in the branches of a cottonwood tree, as if placed there by a crane. The uneasy feeling grew among family members that they were constantly being watched, but they had no idea who, or what, was doing the watching. Enter Robert Bigelow and NIDS Las Vegas businessman Robert Bigelow first heard about the Gorman ranch in the summer of 1996. A small newspaper article about mysterious events at the property prompted Bigelow and his team to fly to Utah. Bigelow bought the ranch and convinced Tom Gorman to stay on as caretaker, against the wishes of his family. Bigelow is the founder of NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science, a Las Vegas research organization dedicated to the study of unexplained phenomena. NIDS staff members include highly trained and educated scientists, engineers and former law enforcement personnel with solid credentials, degrees and experience. Although the organization investigates seemingly bizarre events, it has no preconceived ideas about the true nature of the subject matter and is primarily interested in getting to the truth, wherever that truth leads. (This observation is a personal one, based on more than six years of interaction with the NIDS organization.) NIDS staffers emphasize that they are constantly drilled by Bigelow and by his Science Advisory Board to rigidly adhere to the scientific method. ("The Science Board really holds our feet to the fire," one staff member confides.) Because the subject matter itself is so controversial in science circles, NIDS realizes that any deviation from the scientific method would mean a loss of credibility. If they were deemed a crackpot organization, their findings, no matter how profound or well-documented, would be dismissed out of hand. The Gorman ranch presented a unique opportunity to study a rich tapestry of strange stuff. It was as if someone had ordered up the Weirdness Pizza With Everything on It. UFOs and Sasquatch, balls of light and cattle mutilations, poltergeists and crop circles, psychic manifestations and Native American legends--the ranch sounded like a unique place in all the world. NIDS staffers knew they had to be careful but also knew they couldn't merely dismiss the stories told by locals. "We had no preconceived ideas about what was going on, but we decided to use an 'open-filter' approach to gathering information," says one senior NIDS staffer. "We had a lot of reservations about the legends of skinwalkers, Bigfoot sightings, all the things the family claimed to have seen, but we decided to collect all the data we could get, without dismissing it outright, and figured we could evaluate it all later." The NIDS team set up shop. They installed a command post, positioned video and other monitoring equipment around the ranch, built new fencing around the perimeter of the property to better control access to the site, constructed observation posts in the pastures and staffed the property with trained observers. The effort constitutes the most intense and thorough surveillance of a UFO hot spot ever undertaken. UFO researchers were incensed at being excluded from the study. They floated rumors that Bigelow was working for the CIA, that he and NIDS were already in contact with E.T., and that whatever information was gleaned from the ranch probably would be locked away in dark vaults under the Pentagon. The constant criticism prompted the publicity-shy Bigelow to grant a rare interview. He told a Utah newspaper that NIDS was not communicating with either extraterrestrials or lizard people. He appealed, perhaps in vain, for a reasonable amount of time, free from outside interference, so a legitimate study might be undertaken. "We know so little in terms of what the overall scope of the phenomena are that it's just embarrassing to try and make some conclusions at this point," Bigelow said. He admitted that the activity at the ranch seemed to be "selective in how it exposes itself and to whom," suggesting that a tailgate-party atmosphere where people sit around outside the ranch, barbecuing hot dogs while awaiting flying saucers, would not be conducive to a scientific study. Not surprisingly, this plea for sanity fell on deaf ears among the UFO faithful. They were so busy expressing their outrage over being barred from private property that they failed to grasp the major clue dropped by Bigelow during his interview. A pre-cognitive intelligence Contrary to some predictions, the odd phenomena at the ranch didn't evaporate under the glare of scientific scrutiny. Activity continued, but grew even harder to comprehend. NIDS staffers saw the same balls of light, even UFO-type craft that the Gormans had seen. But their attempts to photograph or videotape the sightings were largely futile. Team members, accompanied by Gorman and former lawmen who were hired for the study, often saw anomalous aerial phenomena, with their eyes, their binoculars and with night vision equipment. With few exceptions, though, the images inexplicably could not be recorded on film or video. A confidential report prepared for NIDS board members and obtained by this reporter documents dozens of encounters involving NIDS staffers, the Gormans and other witnesses. After several months of round-the-clock surveillance, a mind-boggling pattern began to emerge. The phenomena, whatever they represent, seemed capable of anticipating the moves of the scientists. If they placed extra cameras and personnel in the southern field, the activity would pop up in the northern pasture. If they concentrated their observations in the center homestead, the activity might move to the ridge overlooking the ranch. Skeptics might suggest that such an explanation for a lack of photographic evidence sounds a little too convenient. But something happened on July 19, 1998, that sheds further light on the challenge faced by the research team. Soon after arriving at the ranch, NIDS had installed three telephone poles in one of the pastures. Atop each pole was a sophisticated package of sensoring equipment, including multiple video cameras. The cameras had a full view of that section of the ranch and were connected to video recorders back in the command post. At exactly 8:30 p.m., the three cameras on the westernmost telephone pole were suddenly disabled. When NIDS staffers went to check out the problem, they saw that something had shredded their electronic equipment. Wires had been ripped out of the cameras with considerable force. Plastic brackets were snapped in two. Thick layers of duct tape that had been used to secure the equipment had been ripped away. A foot-long piece of TV cable was missing. Analysis of the remaining cable showed it had been slashed with a knife. Team members excitedly returned to the command center, knowing that the telephone pole that had been assaulted was in full view of cameras positioned atop the second pole, located about 200 feet away. The assumption was that, whatever had ripped the guts out of the first camera would be clearly visible on video recorded by the second. But when they rolled the tape back, they saw nothing. At the exact moment the first camera package was being vandalized, nothing visible could be seen anywhere near the second telephone pole. This incident set a pattern for what was to follow. "I came up with a term for it," says Col. John Alexander, a retired Army intelligence officer who still works on classified projects with Los Alamos National Laboratory and remains an adviser to NATO organizations. "I called it a pre-cognitive sentient intelligence. It certainly seemed to be intelligent, and it seemed to know what we were going to do even before we did it." Alexander is a former adviser to NIDS who made the trip to the ranch to see what was going on. As a scientist and military insider, he is reluctant to jump to any conclusions about the nature of what has happened there. But he suspects, after exploring the property and reading the witness reports, that there is an intelligence behind the assorted phenomena and that it almost seems to be playing a game with those who are trying to observe it. Another NIDS staffer arrived at a similar conclusion. He has a doctorate in physics, a long list of peer-reviewed papers about cutting-edge scientific concepts, and a lengthy employment history with prominent think tanks and classified military programs. He asked that his name not be used in the belief that he would never again be hired for sensitive scientific work if his involvement with the ranch were made public. "It's a very messy affair. Nothing is clear cut. It isn't as simple as saying that E.T.s or flying saucers are doing it," the scientist said. "It's some kind of consciousness, but it's always something new and different, something non-repeatable. It's reactive to people and equipment, and we set up the ranch to be a proving ground for the scientific method, but science doesn't seem amenable to the solution of these kinds of problems." Ice and dinosaurs As if to punctuate the point, the phenomena at the ranch seemed to constantly evolve. One of the most recent incidents occurred on a cold morning in February. The caretaker for the property was patrolling the grounds early in the morning. As he walked past a watering hole, he noticed an odd circular impression in the thin ice that had formed overnight. Something had carved a perfect circle in the ice. The circle was just under six feet in diameter and seemed oddly reminiscent of the crop formations seen in English wheat fields. The cuts extended only a quarter-inch into the ice and the ice itself was perhaps another quarter-inch thick. The question arises, how could this have been done? Someone standing on the muddy bank would have left footprints. The only prints were cattle tracks. The ice itself was so thin that it could support almost no weight and certainly would have cracked and broken if someone stood on it. Could someone have suspended themselves above the ice patch and then somehow carved a perfect circle? How, and more importantly, why? NIDS staffers, following the scientific method, collected and analyzed ice shavings from the spot, took readings for magnetic fields and EM radiation, checked for tracks throughout the area but found no clues. There is no natural explanation for such a subtle event, and it has never been reported again. NIDS employees compiled a confidential report containing information about all the assorted incidents on the ranch. Reading this report will make the hair stand up on your neck. To date, the researchers have recorded seven distinct incidents involving magnetic abnormalities. Simply put, their compasses went nuts while out on the range. The needles of the compasses either spun out of control, or pointed straight down at the ground. No one has a reasonable explanation. There were several instances involving some sort of invisible force moving through the ranch and through the animals. One witness reported a path of displaced water in the canal, as if a large unseen animal was briskly moving through the water. There were distinct splashing noises, and there was a foul pungent odor that filled the air but nothing could be seen. A neighboring rancher reported the same phenomena two months later. The Gormans say there were several instances where something invisible moved through their cattle, splitting the herd. Their neighbor reported the same thing. Of all the strange incidents at the ranch, this one may take the prize. It occurred on the night of March 12, 1997. Barking dogs alerted the team to something lurking in a tree near the ranch house. Tom Gorman grabbed a hunting rifle and took off in his truck toward the tree. Two NIDS staffers followed in another vehicle. Up in the tree branches, they could make out a huge set of yellowish, reptilian eyes. The head of this animal had to be three feet wide, they guessed. At the bottom of the tree was something else. Gorman described it as huge and hairy, with massively muscled front legs and a doglike head. Gorman, who is a crack shot, fired at both figures from a distance of 40 yards. The creature on the ground seemed to vanish. The thing in the tree apparently fell to the ground because Gorman heard it as it landed heavily in the patches of snow below. All three men ran through the pasture and scrub brush, chasing what they thought was a wounded animal, but they never found the animal and saw no blood either. A professional tracker was brought in the next day to scour the area. Nothing. But there was a physical clue left behind. At the bottom of the tree, they found and photographed a weird footprint, or rather, claw print. The print left in the snow was from something large. It had three digits with what they guessed were sharp claws on the end. Later analysis and comparison of the print led them to find a chilling similarity--the print from the ranch closely resembled that of a velociraptor, an extinct dinosaur made famous in the Jurassic Park films. (For the record, no one at NIDS is saying he shot a velociraptor. They don't know what it was.) More cattle deaths Two days before the above incident, another animal was found mutilated on the ranch, and it is the only case from the ranch that NIDS has publicly confirmed before this article. Gorman and his wife spent a bright Sunday morning tagging the ears of newborn calves. They put a tag on the ear of a calf born near the ranch house, then wandered out into the pasture for a period of 45 minutes. In that interim period, with the Gormans only 200 yards away in the pasture, the calf was completely stripped of flesh. The Gormans were alerted by a wail from the mother of the calf. The calf's entrails had been placed, almost ritualistically, on the ground, but all of its flesh was simply gone, leaving only bone and hide behind. There was no blood on the ground or on the animal. A NIDS team was at the ranch and quickly scoured the area for evidence. The remains were sent to two pathology labs. Both pathologists concluded the calf had been butchered by two distinct instruments, something like a heavy machete and something like sharp scissors. How this was done in broad daylight, in an open pasture and in clear sight of the ranchers remains a mystery. (A second calf disappeared that same morning after being tagged and was never found. In all, 12 cattle have met a similar end since NIDS has been on the ranch. A full report on the calf incident can be found on the NIDS website.) So, what's going on? Capt. Keith Wolverton spent more than 20 years as an investigator with the Cascade County Sheriff's Department in Great Falls, Mont. In the mid-'70s, that area experienced a similar wave of UFO sightings and cattle mutilations, as well as Bigfoot sightings, and Wolverton investigated them all. "I asked my boss back then to give me six weeks to solve the mystery," Wolverton says. "It's 30 years later and I'm still left with a lot of questions but no answers." Wolverton wrote a book about his Montana experiences. He came to the ranch to share his expertise with NIDS, and while there are similarities between the things that happened near Great Falls and at the Utah ranch, Wolverton says he's never heard of any place with such a concentration of weird activity as the Gorman ranch. Microbiologist Colm Kelleher has reached a similar conclusion. "I thought that if we threw enough personnel and equipment at this one, pull out all the stops, adhere to the scientific method, that we would probably get answers," Kelleher says. "We have all of these strange cases, close to 100, many of them well-documented, but if you try to call that scientific evidence of anything, you'd be laughed at." The main reason NIDS has been unwilling to go public with information about the ranch is there isn't much that can be said. For a scientific organization to merely toss out a lot of scary stories would be counterproductive, especially if it resulted in hordes of UFO nuts flooding the property and interfering with whatever goes on there. Make no mistake, the activity at the ranch certainly seems to have an interactive component. It responds to people, events and disturbances. In many instances, it seems capable of anticipating things that were about to happen. "The only thing that jumps out of the data is how unreproduceable these things are," Kelleher notes. "No two events ever repeated themselves in the same fashion. It's almost as if it's a learning curve and we were being led along. It's the only thing consistent here." What could possibly explain all that has happened at the ranch? Natural predators, rustlers or pranksters might conceivably be responsible for some of the events, but certainly not all of them. NIDS staffers considered the possibility that Indian shaman or black magic practitioners might have been carrying out some sort of ritualist campaign at the ranch. They note that the Ute people consider the ranch to be an unholy place, a forbidden place, but that explanation falls far short on many levels. Hardcore UFO believers have proposed an E.T. connection to events at the ranch, but NIDS staffers say there isn't an iota of evidence to prove such a hypothesis. The possibility exists that unknown military units might be capable of producing nearly all of the events that have been reported in the area, perhaps as an experiment in psychological warfare. (Tom Gorman was convinced of this for a long time, but came to realize the theory was more than a stretch. Someone, somewhere would have seen these military men operating in such a rural area.) That doesn't leave much. There is one possibility that's worth considering. Cutting-edge physicists have proposed the existence of alternate dimensions or parallel universes. Quantum physicists believe that portals may exist between our world and other worlds. The concept of wormholes is no longer considered to be the stuff of science fiction. New York physicist and author Michio Kaku theorizes that there are 11 dimensions in our universe, although humans have only identified four. Might a wormhole resemble the portal of light that was seen on the ranch? And if such portals do exist, could they allow beings on the other side to travel into our world? As wacky as it all sounds, leading scientists believe that wormholes and alternate dimensions are perfectly consistent with known laws of physics. If so, then it isn't much of a leap to suggest that UFOs, aliens, Bigfoot beings or other creatures, even poltergeists or spirits, could come and go and never be detected by puzzled, mystified humans. "Aliens may be here now," says Kaku, "here in another dimension, a millimeter away from our own world." Admittedly, it all sounds farfetched. But if anyone has a better explanation, let's hear it. A final note For further discussion of the Gorman Ranch mystery, along with a few personal observations, check out the Knappster column elsewhere in this issue. Also, the website of the National Institute for Discovery Science is packed with information and research papers concerning these and other issues. Anyone with information or insight about the ranch, UFOs or mutilations is welcome to contact NIDS through the website. All such contacts will remain confidential. Another word of warning to UFO diehards: It is probably futile to ask for restraint on the part of the faithful, but here goes anyway. Visitors are not welcome at the Gorman ranch. The ranch is patrolled 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and NIDS emphatically declares that trespassers will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. One of the principal caretakers of the property is a 20-year veteran of Utah law enforcement and will not hesitate to bust people who mess with the property, the animals or the staff. The people who live in the area do not want to be hassled. So leave them alone. Don't be a jerk. Furthermore, anyone expecting to find the ranch and see UFOs or Bigfoot will be deeply disappointed. Paranormal activity on the property has all but disappeared over the past year, which is a primary reason that access was obtained from NIDS for this article. The NIDS website is at www.nidsci.org. The NIDS online report form, where people can electronically report UFO sightings, animal mutilations, etc., is at www.nidsci.org/reportform.html. The NIDS UFO hotline number is 702-798-1700.

THE PSYCHIC SASQUATCH: And Their UFO Connection 8-28-99 - I read this book with fascination. I had dreamed about meeting a Sasquatch several years ago who was brought to my house to meet me. He had a face that was longer in the jaw than the drawing on the cover of this book, but otherwise very similar. In my dream, the Sasquatch smiled the whole time he was with me. Jack "Kewaunee" Lapseritis has investigated the Sasquatch for 40 years all over the United States. He has conducted countless interviews and spent weeks alone in the forest - quietly trying to communicate with them, rather than hunt them. In the summer of 1977, an elderly lady sat quietly reading a book on the porch of her cottage in a densely wooded area in northern Wisconsin. Suddenly, an invisible force sent the book from her hands onto the porch floor. She heard someone laughing. At the edge of the forest stood the form of a huge apelike creature with dark auburn hair all over it s body. This credible lady continued to have telepathic conversations with the man-creature for four consecutive summers and came to know him as Sasquatch! The "Psychic Sasquatch" provides us with revelations about these gentle creatures and the astonishing truth about their connection to extraterrestrials and why they cannot be found. The Sasquatch consider themselves to be the first "people" to populate this planet and they were brought here millions of years ago by their friends, the Starpeople! There were bipedal human-type creatures here at the time, but the Sasquatch considered them to be 'animals' because they were so unevolved that they had not even yet discovered fire. The Sasquatch say that they are transported to new regions of wilderness whenever hostile humans or developers enter the creature's immediate domain. The Sasquatch insist that ET intervention occurred with all races of humans and higher hominoid types. The Sasquatch also said that seven races of Bigfoot have been seeded on Earth, with one race less than five feet tall and another up to fifteen feet tall. In 1985, a Sasquatch told Kewaunee that by 1990 the Earth, environmentally, would be at a point of no return if we did not drastically change how we treat each other and the environment. We could avert this disaster by drastically reducing the global population and dramatically slowing down our exploitation of natural resources. Then the present resources would better sustain a smaller world population without depleting it to a life-threatening level. We are at the very brink of some stupendous calamity - something that will strongly landmark all of human history. Both the Starpeople and the Bigfoot creature have talked about such catastrophic events occurring over the next few years. Christians might label it Armageddon. The Amerindian tribes call it The Great Purification. Because everyone and everything is cosmically connected, all living organisms will be profoundly affected.
10-10-99 - Since I created this page, I have had a couple experiences
that rather unnerved me because it was unexpected at the time. I was sitting
outside watching the stars especially for meteors and satellites. While I
was sitting there in the dark, I could hear a cow bellowing and bellowing
about a quarter of a mile away. It went on and on and I wondered what was
wrong with it because it didn't stop and it wasn't the usual

05/19/2010 9:31 PM | KSAX.com Bigfoot: Alive and Living in Greater Minnesota?BENA, Minn. - Bigfoot alive and living in northern Minnesota? The co-founders of the Northern Minnesota Bigfoot Society say, "100 percent yes." They said they have received more than 75
reports of sightings, captured images, and Bigfoot footprints in
just three years. They're sharing their insight while sorting fact
from fiction as they take KSAX on the hunt for Bigfoot. "I'm a skeptic of Bigfoot because I've trapped this whole area and never, ever did we see any Bigfoot tracks or see Bigfoot anywhere," William Tucker of Bena said. Long time trapper William Tucker is anything but a believer, but just miles away from Bena, mind boggling footprints were found. Each track was a bit different, different pressures, different depths, eliminating the possibility of some sort of footprint stamp. This is just one of the things the co-founders of the Northern Minnesota Bigfoot Society say confirms the fact, Bigfoot is out there. "I'm 110% convinced that it exists. There's just too much evidence, too many people's emotions showing when they recount their stories," Bob Olson, a co-founder of the Northern Minnesota Bigfoot Society said. "One lady cries when she recounts her story of how this thing stood up and looked at her. She felt it looked into her soul." Since 2006, Olson and Don Sherman have received about 75 reports of similar Bigfoot sightings in Northern Minnesota, some of which have been captured on camera. The most recent was captured in Remer. Though to some, the image may look like a man in a suit, a comparison with 6 foot 5 inch Bob Olson showed this man would have had to have been at least 7 feet tall. Sherman and Olson say "wood knocking" is just one more way Bigfoot makes his presence known. Olson said Bigfoot responded to him at Carey Lake when he knocked on a tree five times. What about bones? One KSAX reader says, "I believe Bigfoot is 100% real, as are a lot of the other creatures of Cryptozoology. But i believe in their true form, they are spiritual creatures, that manifest in flesh as they so desire. That is why we will never find bones, or other such evidence of them." On the other side of the coin, Olson says giant bones belonging to Humanoid creatures were found in the late 1800's, stretching 10 to 12 feet. While there haven't been any Bigfoot skeletons found, many trappers say they've never come across any bear, wolf, or other large animal skeleton either. Other signs Bigfoot exists include branches plucked straight out of trees, strange looking shelters, and stick men to warn other Bigfoot of humans in the area. "When there's stuff that doesn't go away, there's gotta be something to it and the evidence just keeps mounting up," Olson said. For some Bena residents, the legend of Bigfoot is far from a tall tale. "I never seen it, but like I says I believe in it," New Prague resident Leo Hinderscheid said. "I don't know what to say Megan but I believe in it and that's the way it will be," Helen Tibbetts of Bena said. So, the hunt for Bigfoot continues.

Bigfoot Mating Season Underway In Florida Everglades
It's Bigfoot mating season in the Florida Everglades and researcher Dave Shealy says this furry creature is attracted to women on their periods. Thursday, May 13, 2010 17:10 GMT OCHOPEE, Fla. (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) – Bigfoot mating season is underway in the Florida Everglades and the furry, horny creature is out for blood.Dave Shealy, an RV park owner in Ochopee, Florida, is the leading researcher of the Skunk Ape, Bigfoot’s “smaller, smellier cousin.” He says there are seven to nine Skunk Apes currently living in the Everglades and right now is the best time to spot one because it’s their mating season. Lately, he’s heard lots of campers report strange sounds coming from the swamps. He figures it’s the Skunk Ape’s mating call, which sounds like a low-pitched dove cooing. Though Skunk Apes are generally shy, Shealy says women on their periods should be careful when hiking the area because the cryptoids are attracted to the scent of menstruation. They’re also aroused by used lingerie, so female campers shouldn’t hang their panties out to dry because, in his words, “That’s like raising a flag and inviting them in.” © Copyright 2010 Wireless Flash News Inc |

Here is an important e-mail from Karl A. Breheim
From: savebigfoot@gmail.com
Sent: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 To: shinecentral@inbox.com Subject: Great Idea
Hi Shine, think your idea about forwarding information about
Bigfoot is excellent. I've tried everything I know to do, and get
blocked at each turn. I will do a brief synopsis now:
To all concerned eco protectors, My name is Karl Breheim. While engaged in mineralogical research along the Rogue River in Oregon a few years ago, our encampment began receiving "visits", from what turned out to be Sasquatch. Soon afterwards, we began discovering evidence of their existence, tracks, spoor, odors, and finally, eyewitness examination of them. The locale they are in, was chosen by the Bush administation to be clear-cut of old growth timber, trees which were hundreds of years old, irreplaceable, and a major component of the thriving eco system in place there for several millennium. I and others, made several expeditions to this area, further encountering these majestic creatures, and never feeling danger or anything to fear from these gentle folk. I spent thousands of dollars contacting leading scientists, BLM and Forestry head men, Greenpeace, Jane Goodall, University Of California DNA scientist Dr. Joy Halvorsen, presented evidence in person to Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Great Ape and Bigfoot expert, who assured me I had legitimate evidence, The Portland Institute, three newspapers, Bill Clintons office in New York, and many more. I worked with Joe Serres, environmentalist and lawyer in Ashville, Oregon, presented evidence in person to him. The only result was time passing along with no results. I finally developed my web-site: Savebigfoot.org., and packed it with evidence and a journal I maintained throughout the years of expeditions to the Rogue River area. I believe it to be imperative that people access this site to learn all of the factors in the Bigfoot equation. The journal is free for downloading, as are all photos and letters sent to major players. I am not making one cent from this. I am doing this for the eco-system, the Bigfoot, and you and your children's children who have the right to know of this, and what is happening to the eco system. Time Magazine reported in their Jan.2005 edition, of the discovery of what they termed "The Congo Ape", discovered by a well funded scientific group who obtained permission to overfly the jungles of the Northern Congo. Their evidence and photos depict what they termed, a missing link between monkeys and great apes. These creatures walk and run upright, build beds on the ground, and hide from discovery. They are Sasquatch, in every measure of degree. They are the exact creatures I reported to Dr. Meldrum and the news, including the discovery of beds made on the ground, appearance, spoor composition, etc, almost three years prior to this discovery in the Congo jungle. Lastly, the old growth timber being clearcut as I write this, is being shipped to China continuosly on mega ships. The clearcuts are conducted behind lock out gates, on the sides of mountains not visible to aircraft routes or hikers. I have seen them with my own eyes. I ask that anyone reading this report, please access my web-site, and learn for yourself the details of what is transpiring now. You can make a difference. You must...or we all lose. Regards, Karl A. Breheim

Sasquatch Sighting At
Moricetown, British Columbia - March 8, 2009 Breaking News ! I just got off the telephone as a person called me to file a report of something unusual that took place in Moricetown, British Columbia on March 8, 2009. From what I was told there was some kind of loud sounds coming from the back end of a person's property, this happening in the dark hours. The person told another family member who was there the next day about what took place and they went out back to check to see what may have caused this commotion. The person arrived at the fence line and did see where a Moose was present as tracks from it were visible. But, what shocked them was seeing large foot prints from something. They appeared to be human in shape and hair was found in the area as well. Also human like scat is in the area. Pictures of the foot prints in the snow were taken. Brian Vike, Director of HBCC UFO Research will be heading to the area most likely tomorrow as I have to gather some things together. On another note, I reported a Sasquatch sighting, or three sightings in Moricetown, British Columbia I believe on January 1, 2008. I ended up having no luck whatsoever talking to these folks who claimed to have seen these creatures. Well I will be finally speaking to one of the folks who had a run in with a Sasquatch in Moricetown while they were dropping a letter into a mail box. This meeting is set up. I will get everything posted when I get back and have time to write everything up. Take care Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research Web: http://www.hbccufo. org Email: hbccufo@telus. net Phone: 250 845 2180 |

Protecting Bigfoot
Standing believes these creatures are a species known as Gigantopithecus that are primarily nocturnal and particularly skillful at evading humans. Near their "domicile," they use a "day watcher" to keep an eye out while they are sleeping, he reported. Standing is promoting a petition to make Bigfoot a protected species, and the Canadian House of Commons is now considering it. During the last hour of the 4-8-07 radio show, "Bugs," a previous guest of Art Bell, phoned in to go over his account of shooting and burying two Bigfoot back in the 1970's, in the Texas Panhandle, while Standing reacted. The creatures, which Bugs and a fellow hunter initially thought were bears, had reddish-brown hair, nose and eyes similar to humans, and the female had breasts. He estimated the male was 8½ ft. tall and weighed around 500 lbs. |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051230/ap_on_fe_st/malaysia_bigfoot AUTHORITIES HUNT FOR 'BIGFOOT' IN MALAYSIA's SOUTHERN JUNGLES! – The Associated Press, Saturday, December 31, 2005 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Authorities began searching the jungles of southern Malaysia on Friday for the mythical "Bigfoot" following a reported sighting of three giant human-like beasts, officials said. Wildlife authorities may set up cameras in the 309 sq.mile Endau Rompin National Park in Johor state to see if the creatures do exist, they said. Park director Hashim Yusof ventured into the jungle Friday to survey the site where three fish farm workers reportedly saw the beasts -- two adults and a young one -- last month, Hashim's secretary told The Associated Press.. She did not want her name used and declined to give details. The fish farm workers were in the jungle to clear an area for a fish pond. They alerted their employer who photographed what appeared to be footprints measuring up to 17 inches, said Lim Teong Kheng, the chairman of the Malaysian Nature Society in Johor. He said brown hair reeking of body odor was also reportedly retrieved nearby, and a broken tree branch at the site appeared to indicate the creatures were some 10 feet tall. The New Straits Times newspaper on Thursday reprinted one of the photographs taken by the fish farmer, showing what appears to be a triangular depression in the undergrowth. Lim welcomed the investigation by the national park saying "Bigfoot" sightings have been reported for decades in the area but never taken seriously for lack of evidence. "Nobody dared say anything in case people say they are out of their minds," Lim told the AP. "But sightings have been enumerated by many others before this at the Endau Rompin area." "Bigfoot" is a popular name given in the United States to giant hairy creatures walking on two legs. Sightings of such beasts are reported in many parts of the world but never confirmed. |

$1 MILLION OFFERED FOR BIGFOOT (& OTHER CREATURES) PHOTOS
(10/17/2005): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nhnenews/message/10159 BIG MONEY OFFERED FOR PHOTO OF CREATURE By Associated Press October 17, 2005 http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/articles/2005/10/17/big_money_offered_for_photo_of_creature?mode=PF LEWISTON, Maine -- A Maine scientist is preparing to release details of a $1 million reward for a photograph that leads to the live capture of Bigfoot, the abominable snowman, or the Loch Ness Monster. Loren Coleman, a professor at the University of Southern Maine, said the bounty would be paid by an unnamed company and he plans to release more details at a cryptozoology symposium at Bates College over Halloween weekend. Cryptozoology is the scientific study of hidden, rumored, or unknown animals. ''It's the time for something like this," Coleman said. ''Back in the 1960s, hardly anybody was talking about this. Today, it's phenomenal." The mysteries surrounding these creatures have long been the subject of debate. Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is said to be a huge, hairy, humanlike creature with long arms. The abominable snowman, or yeti, is a large, hairy, manlike mammal reputed to live in the Himalayas. The Loch Ness Monster is a dinosaur-like creature reputed to live in a lake in Scotland. The $1 million bounty would be paid by a company to anyone who produces a photograph that leads to the live capture of one of the three creatures, Coleman said. ''We don't want people running around with guns trying to kill something to get the money," Coleman said. ''It's not a contest, either. It's a very specific bounty that depends on the permanent capture of a live specimen, with emphasis on 'live.' " Coleman, a cryptozoologist who is considered one of the world's leading experts on Bigfoot, said he would release some details about the bounty at a Bigfoot conference over the weekend in Texas. He is saving the rest for Lewiston, where he will speak at the symposium on Oct. 28 on the Bates campus. The three-day symposium, to be held at the Bates College Museum of Art, will focus on cryptozoology, science, and art. ''What we like about the subject is that there is such a fine line between truth and fraud in the field, and that goes way back through history," said museum curator Mark Bessire. ''We're looking at how the possibility of these beasts becomes a part of the cultural canon." The event will include panel discussions about the science of fantastic creatures and artistic interpretations of their stories. It will feature two movies, including ''The Legend of Boggy Creek," a 1972 film about an Arkansas town terrorized by a swamp monster. Coleman said most sightings are hoaxes, mistakes, or misunderstandings. But the $1 million reward is on the level, he said. ''The company that's behind this really understands the situation," he said. ''They understand the interest in the creatures and monsters that are really out there and they are willing to step forward." |

THE HUNT FOR SWAMP APE (BIGFOOT) (9/11/2005): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nhnenews/message/9934 TEAM OF BELIEVERS TO HUNT FOR SWAMP APE By Linda Florea Orlando Sentinel September 4, 2005 http://tinyurl.com/acept WINTER HAVEN -- It's had more sightings than Elvis. They call it Yeti in Nepal, Yowie in Australia and Sasquatch in Canada. In Florida, it's called Swamp Ape, Skunk Ape, Stink Ape or Stink Man. More plainly put, Bigfoot. For one man, finding the creature has become like searching for the Holy Grail, and he is teaming up with other believers the first week in November for a field research class through Florida Keys Community College. He hopes to bring back proof of its existence. "I know it's there. I know it on several levels," said Scott Marlowe, a founder of Pangea Institute in Winter Haven and instructor of an online class in cryptozoology, the study of creatures that may or may not exist, through Florida Keys Community College. "Of all the species on Earth, man is presumed to be the only one that has one example of its genus -- the only genus that has only one species still alive. All other species have more than one." Marlowe isn't the only one with faith that the creature exists. Patricia Edwards of Lakeland has seen what she believes is the Swamp Ape in the Green Swamp. Although her sighting was in the fall of 2002, it was not until she read about another sighting that she decided to go public. It began when she was going to visit a relative in an Ocala hospital. The morning was clear, and she was driving along Country Road 471, a long, straight stretch of road through the Green Swamp. She said she saw something less than half a block away. "If I live to be a couple hundred years old, the story will not change," said Edwards, 69. "There was very little traffic and I see something that ran out in front of me. It looked like a giant sloth except I know they're slow moving -- this one moved fast and dove down into the edge of the road into a ditch area." "It started out running, galloping on fours like a dog, but when it dove I could see the arms come up. It was sizable, almost like a bear, but not a bear, not the way its arms moved." Chester Moore is a Bigfoot researcher from Orange, Texas, who will be attending the Florida expedition. He is also an outdoor journalist, has a degree in zoology and is founder of Project: Zoo Quest and the American Primate Conservation Alliance. The Alliance recently awarded Marlowe the J. E. Smokey Crabtree Cryptozoology Steward of the Year award for 2005. Moore said he has also seen and heard Bigfoot. "I've gone far past the point of trying to answer the question for myself -- these animals are real, not paranormal," he said. Since 1999, he estimates he has logged about 300 days in the field tracking the creature. He said although he and three friends saw it in 2000, it was the vocalizations that made the biggest impression. He said the closest thing he has heard is a howler monkey. "It's a serious pursuit and a fascination," Moore said. "I write for dozens of publications about all sorts of thing, but this is the biggest, hugest prize." There will be about 20 participants in the field research class, said Marlowe. Experienced hunters will be teamed with neophytes, most of whom have already taken some of Marlowe's classes. Because the Swamp Ape is believed to be active at dusk and dawn, the daytime will consist of coordinating data and workshops, while the night hunts will rely on infrared cameras and night vision. The location of the hunt will depend on a reported spot of Swamp Ape activity, but Marlowe said possible locations include Collier, Monroe and Levy counties and the Okeechobee and Green Swamp areas.

MANY REPORT SEEING BIGFOOT IN VIRGINIA. ONE MAN IS TRYING TO PROVE IT By Joanne Kimberlin The Virginian-Pilot February 21, 2005 http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=82385&ran=127779 MANASSAS - Those who know 46-year-old William Dranginis say he's a levelheaded guy. He has a sharp mind, an easy smile, an attractive family, a nice home and a trustworthy job designing surveillance equipment for the government. But 10 years ago, Dranginis says he crossed paths with something in the deep, dark woods of Culpeper County. Snicker if you want, but his life has never been the same. March 11, 1995. Dranginis recites the day with unwavering detail. Blue skies. The hint of spring. A perfect Saturday to mess around with his latest passion: hunting for artifacts with his new metal detector. Today had a special destination: a string of old gold mines from the early 1800s that still stab deep into the rolling earth of Virginia's Piedmont. He headed out early with an old friend, an FBI agent named Frank, who shared his itch for hidden treasures. About an hour southwest of home, near Richardsville, they picked up another agent, a man Dranginis was meeting for the first time. The day slipped by peacefully. The three hiked along dirt roads and forested paths, poked into old mine shafts and scoured the soil. Around mid afternoon, they turned back toward the car, tired and empty-handed. On a logging road, about a half-mile from the pavement, Frank abruptly shot his arms outward in a silent signal to halt. "Behind that tree," he whispered. "There's a man." The three stood stock-still, staring at a cluster of slender pines just ahead on the right. Why would a man duck out of sight unless he was up to no good? Frank drew the 9 mm handgun he wore holstered on his side. The other agent produced one as well. Both trained their barrels at the shadows behind the trees. Suddenly, Dranginis says, a dark, shaggy head peered out at them from behind a pine, then jerked back. Seconds later, he says, a creature like none he'd ever seen darted out and began running, following the edge of the road. "It ran for about 75 feet, moving from our left to our right, before it took a sharp turn that took it deeper into the woods," Dranginis said. "We watched the top of its head bobbing as it disappeared down into a ravine." During that 10 or 12 seconds, Dranginis says, he was shocked into a kind of tunnel vision. "I don't remember hearing anything, and I can't tell you what its face looked like," he said. "I was just stunned by how tall it was, like 7 feet. And it was so quick and agile. It moved on two legs like a man, but so much more powerfully. I remember watching the muscles work as it ran. And the hair flowing, back and forth, every time it pumped its arms." The creature was gone, but the men didn't move. The agents stood frozen in their firing stances. A minute passed. Maybe another. No one spoke. Finally, the agent from Richardsville found his voice. "That was a bear," he said quietly. "Let's get out of here." They double-timed it to the car, looking over their shoulder the whole way. They drove in silence, dropped off the Richardsville agent, then stopped for a bite. Over a burger, Dranginis finally looked Frank in the eye. "That was no bear," Dranginis said. "I know." Until then, Dranginis says, he had not entertained a single serious thought about Bigfoot. A big hairy creature, hiding out in North America, that no one had ever managed to capture? Come on. That stuff was for supermarket tabloids. Actually, the legend of an elusive, upright, ape-like animal spans centuries and cultures. The towering Yeti of ancient Asia. Abominable snowmen of the Himalayas. Sasquatch of Native American lore. The term "Bigfoot" took hold in the 1960s during a rash of footprint finds and creature sightings in Northern California. "Bigfoot fever" hit a high point in 1967, when a Sasquatch-type animal was supposedly filmed on a few grainy frames of now famous - and much disputed - footage. Real or not, the film became the cornerstone of a subculture of Bigfoot believers. They flourished in the Pacific Northwest - an untamed place where it seemed possible for a giant to hide. But here? In long-settled, heavily trod Virginia? John Green, 78, is considered by many to be "Mr. Sasquatch." He lives in remote British Columbia, an epicenter of Bigfoot lore. Green has spent much of his life probing the mystery. In 1976, he crossed the U.S. to document sightings. Green says he found reports in every state except Hawaii. "Maryland was absolutely loaded with sightings," Green said. "And Virginia is right next door." If Bigfoot does dwell in the Old Dominion, state wildlife experts say, it's news to them. "I checked around with our long time game wardens," said Julia Dickson-Smith of Virginia's Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. "None of them remembers ever getting a report about Bigfoot - not from the public and not from anyone on staff." Green says he's not surprised. "Your wife doesn't believe you. Your best friend doesn't believe you," Green said. "It doesn't take long to realize that the smartest thing to do is shut up." But what folks might hesitate to tell a uniform, they will tell cyberspace. Bigfoot Web sites have ample reports from Virginia, with encounters from the Blue Ridge to the Dismal Swamp. The experiences range in intensity - from no more than other worldly howls in the night heard at Surry's Chippokes Plantation State Park in 1998 to a 1981 report of a Bigfoot sprinting through the middle of a campground in Chesapeake's Northwest River Park. All that chatter from Virginia - as well as other Eastern states - has won the attention of seasoned researchers, who once thought the West Coast had a corner on the phenomenon. "No, we don't think Bigfoot is sitting in downtown D.C.," said D.B. Donlon of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. Based in California, the group bills itself as the oldest and largest of its kind. "But we have good reason now," Donlon said, "to believe that the same creature being seen in the West is also being seen in the East." Even among believers, theories about the creature's identity ramble widely. On the far fringes: Bigfoot is an alien, or a ghost, or even the ghost of an alien. Most students of Sasquatchery, however - including a handful of reputable scientists - think Bigfoot may be a remnant relative of Gigantopithecus, a large primate found in fossils in Asia, but thought to be long extinct. A nocturnal, skittish lifestyle, they say, coupled with thin numbers and more brainpower than most animals, has helped the creatures avoid mankind. Still, after decades of searching, doesn't it seem someone would have collared a Bigfoot by now, dead or alive - or at least found some verifiable remains? "I can't explain that," said Jeff Meldrum, an anthropologist and associate professor at Idaho State University. "I only know that just because you lack a body doesn't mean you're justified in offhandedly dismissing all evidence." Meldrum specializes in primate studies, with a focus on how two-legged species walk. Fake Bigfoot prints abound, Meldrum says, but scattered among the pranks have been a few he considered genuine. "Details - like toe dynamics, flexibility and weight shift - all pointed to a real animal," Meldrum said. "That's when the hair stands up on the back of your neck." Dranginis' friend, Frank, does not want his last name used in a newspaper story about Bigfoot. He's retired from federal law enforcement now, but says he still works a job that requires a security clearance. "I can't have people thinking I'm a nut," he said. "I never told anybody about what we saw. I figured they wouldn't believe me anyway." Dranginis told anyone who would listen, even his co-workers at Windermere Group, an Annapolis, Md.-based private contractor specializing in government security. A gadget geek by nature, Dranginis has spent 14 years designing spy stuff for the company - hidden eyes, bug detectors and the like. His job also requires a security clearance, but no one at work seemed too worried about his state of mind. Most just raised an eyebrow, then asked what he'd been drinking or smoking. Others tried to suggest some reasonable explanation: Man in a monkey suit? An old hermit? Kids playing a joke? Few took him seriously, except his wife, Carol. "I've known my husband since high school," she said. "He came out of those woods a different man." Over and over, Dranginis returned to Culpeper, hoping for another glimpse. When that proved fruitless, he began building camera systems to show the world, once and for all, that Bigfoot was real - and that he, Dranginis, wasn't crazy. He tried motion-triggered setups. Heat-triggered. Cameras mounted in trees. Wrapped in camouflage. Buried in the ground. None found a Bigfoot. Dranginis suspected the equipment was emitting tiny, ultrasonic noises that were alerting the cagey creature. He kept trying, trolling online auctions and supply houses, spending just about every spare dollar he had on ever-more sophisticated components. After a while, Bigfoot became his full-time hobby. Maps of sightings papered his garage. Electronic gizmos took over the shelves. Late-night hours found him red-eyed, but still in his workshop. By early 2001, Dranginis had given his mission an official name: the Virginia Bigfoot Research Organization <http://www.virginiabigfootresearch.org/>. He placed an ad in a rural magazine: "Have you seen a Bigfoot or Sasquatch-type creature here in Virginia?" More than 60 people responded. Dranginis wrote down their stories and checked out still-hot trails. Two years ago, he turned the key on the Bigfoot Primate Research Lab - a 24-foot Ford camper once used as a mobile veterinary clinic. Now outfitted with an arsenal of high-tech spy gear, the camper has cemented his status as the state's go-to guy for Sasquatch. In all, Dranginis figures, those few seconds in the woods of Culpeper have cost him around $55,000. "At first, I just wanted to look this creature in the eye, to see what it was, then get back to my life," he said. "But after a while, it became something I had to prove - not just for me, but for everyone else who's seen it." So far, Bigfoot hasn't cooperated. After a decade of trying, Dranginis has managed to land little more than a couple of fuzzy photos and an intriguing clump or two of hair. His family, however, still supports him. "My friends think it's cool," said Katie, 18, the younger of his two daughters. "They come over here, and they're all into my dad. They're really impressed with his toys." Dranginis found what might be his best evidence on an old farm in Chesterfield County, south of Richmond. The couple who own the property don't want their names or the location of their home revealed. Word has already leaked out, drawing gun-toting trespassers with a thirst to be the first to bag Bigfoot. The couple are working with Dranginis because they like his no-kill approach. "He doesn't want to hurt these creatures and neither do we," said the husband, a country preacher. "We're just curious about their origins." Neither he nor his wife claim to have seen one. "It's all from people who come to visit us or work on the place," the husband said. "They've asked me, 'What kind of animals are you raising here? Orangutans?'" They have noticed huge prints in the snow shaped like a human's bare foot. They've heard chilling sounds from the 2,500 acres of woods hemming their property. They've wrinkled their noses at an overpowering, sewer-like smell - a scent often reported by people who say they have gotten close to Sasquatch. "For the longest time, we thought it was a bear," the wife said. "But wild bears don't walk on two legs." Dranginis mounted one of his cameras on the couple's barn. The few images it captured were too dim to prove anything. Then, the hair turned up, a few wads of reddish-brown mats fluttering on the ground nearby. Dranginis sent a portion of it to a specialist at the Smithsonian's natural history museum. A copy of the results he received says the sample "most closely matches the characteristics of human hair." He sent the same hair to a lab for a chemical profile. Janet Starr Hull, a Texas nutritionist well-known on lecture and radio talk-show circuits, reviewed the readings. Hull said she's puzzled by the low level of toxins in the hair. "I've studied hair analysis for many, many years," Hull said. "I've never seen test results like this. Humans are exposed to all kinds of pollutions and chemicals that show up in their hair. This is not a human profile. At least not a modern one." Dranginis wants to have DNA analysis done on the hair, but the going rate at a private lab - around $5,000 - is too steep. He has tried to persuade a number of university labs to do the work for free, but so far, there have been no takers. "The most hurtful ridicule comes from science," Dranginis said, "the people I expected to at least be anxious to disprove me. I can't even get them to take me seriously enough to look at it." Every now and then, though, Dranginis gets a little backup when a respected expert steps a toe onto his side - like Jane Goodall, the famed primate researcher. "Jane has heard similar stories from indigenous people all over the world," said Nona Gandelman, a Goodall spokeswoman. "She is open to the possibility that there may be a primate out there we haven't met yet." But - once again - here? In Virginia? Some long time believers still aren't buying it. Bob George, a Portsmouth native and long time Bigfoot researcher, teaches biology at Florida International University in Miami. "Look," George said, "when you start talking Virginia, it's getting to be a little preposterous. I mean, what's next? New Jersey?" Well perhaps. According to the Sasquatch Information Society <http://www.bigfootinfo.org/>, folks say they've bumped into Bigfoot at least four times in the state better known for its turnpike than its green space. Bigfoot could not be reached for comment. |

'BIGFOOT' FILM TO BE EXPOSED AS HOAX ON MARCH 1ST (2/24/2004): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nhnenews/message/6813 WORLD FAMOUS 1967 ROGER PATTERSON "BIGFOOT" FILM TO BE
EXPOSED AS A HOAX |
September, 26 , 2003
Yeti's 'non-existence' hard to bear Daniel Lak BBC correspondent in Kathmandu Dr Nabuka breached "yetiquette" with his claims of non-existence A row has erupted in Nepal after a Japanese expert on Himalayan languages insisted the yeti was nothing more than a case of linguistic mistaken identity. Dr Matako Nabuka is a researcher and mountaineer who spent 12 years in Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan conducting, he says, research into the elusive abominable snowman. Hackles began to rise in Kathmandu earlier this month when Dr Nabuka told a press conference in Tokyo yetis were not mysterious apes or hairy hominids living in the High Himalaya. They were, quite simply, Himalayan brown bear, known in a regional Tibetan dialect as "meti", he said. "This has spread too far," said Dr Nabuka, referring to belief in the yeti. Many claim to have seen it, he said, but no one has proof. The tribes of the Himalayas worship the brown bear as a deity, Dr Nabuka pointed out, and have endowed it with supernatural powers. He said he had pictures of bear paws and other artefacts from the animal being venerated by mountain tribes people. Linguistic dispute But no sooner had the story hit the Nepali press than local opinion chimed in. A letter to the editor of the Kathmandu Post headlined "Yetiquette" took Dr Nabuka to task for linguistic carelessness. A "yeti" from contested footage shot in California in 1967 Signed by Bha Dawa, the letter says the Japanese researcher may have spent too long in the wrong mountains and had himself mixed up his words. Both "yeti" and "meti" mean a near-mythical beast, said Mr Dawa. Dr Nabuka has other opponents. Dr Raj Kumar Pandey, who like the Japanese scientist researches both yetis and mountain languages, says it is not enough to blame tales of the mysterious beast of the Himalayas on words that rhyme but mean different things. "Look at all the foreign expeditions that have seen [the yeti]," says Dr Pandey, naming British mountaineering legend, Eric Shipton, Italian super-mountaineer Reinhold Messner and the British Everest expedition leader from 1953, John Hunt. "We have much more research to do on language and in zoology before we believe statements like this [from Dr Nabuka]." Japanese rivalry A very informal straw poll of mountaineers in Kathmandu carried out for BBC News Online at the city's legendary Rum Doodle Bar, a favourite hangout of climbers, found at least three people who claimed to have seen the yeti. We'll get a picture this time and then all disbelievers will learn their lessons Yoshiteru Takahashi, rival to Dr Nabuka None wanted their names used but all denied vehemently that their claims had anything to do with the amount of locally brewed Everest beer they were drinking. In the end, it all probably comes down to rivalry between Japanese mountain-climbers. Dr Nabuka's press conference came just weeks after Japan's most celebrated yeti-hunter, Yoshiteru Takahashi, left his country to make "the definitive attempt" to photograph the beast. Mr Takahashi claims to have found a yeti cave on the slopes of Dhaulagiri, the world's fifth highest mountain, in western Nepal. His camera froze in 1994 when he tried to photograph the denizens of the cave, he said in Tokyo before leaving. This year, he is using nine infrared cameras with motion sensitive shutters, and wrapping them up well against the Himalayan chill. "We'll get a picture this time," he said, "and then all disbelievers will learn their lessons."

FORENSIC EXPERT SAYS BIGFOOT IS REAL (10/23/2003): By Stefan Lovgren National Geographic News October 23, 2003 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/10/1023_031023_bigfoot.html It's been the subject of campfire stories for decades. A camera-elusive, grooming-challenged, bipedal ape-man who roams the mountain regions of North America. Some call it Sasquatch. Others know it as Bigfoot. Thousands of people claim to have seen the hairy hominoid, but the evidence of its existence is fuzzy. There are few clear photographs of the oversized beast. No bones have ever been found. Countless pranksters have admitted to faking footprints. Yet a small but vociferous number of scientists remain undeterred. Risking ridicule from other academics, they propose that there's enough forensic evidence to warrant something that has never been done: a comprehensive, scientific study to determine if the legendary primate actually exists. "Given the scientific evidence that I have examined, I'm convinced there's a creature out there that is yet to be identified," said Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University in Pocatello. Thousands of Sightings Sasquatch stories go back centuries. Tales of mythical giant apes lurk in the oral traditions of most Native American tribes, as well as in Europe and Asia. The Himalaya has its Abominable Snowman, or the Yeti. In Australia, Bigfoot is known as the Yowie Man. Bigfoot advocates hypothesize that the primate is the offspring of an ape from Asia that wandered to North America during the Ice Age. They believe there are at least 2,000 ape men walking upright in North America's woods today. An adult male is said to be at least 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall, weigh 800 pounds (360 kilograms), and have feet twice the size of a human's. The creatures are described as shy and nocturnal, and their diets consist mostly of berries and fruits. Matt Moneymaker had been searching for Bigfoot for years. In the woods of eastern Ohio, he claims he finally came eye to eye with the elusive primate. "It was 2 o'clock in the morning and the moon was a quarter full," recalled Moneymaker. "Suddenly, there he was, an eight-foot-tall creature, standing 15 feet away, growling at me. He wanted to let me know I was in the wrong place." Moneymaker, who lives in Dana Point in southern California, is a lawyer who runs his own marketing agency. In his spare time, he leads the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, a network of more than 3,000 people who claim to have seen the Sasquatch. Unfortunately, no one has been able to snap a clear picture of the beast. Perhaps the most compelling photographic evidence of Bigfoot is a controversial short film shot by Roger Patterson in 1967, which appears to document a female Bigfoot striding along a riverbank in northern California. "It certainly wasn't human" Now, Bigfoot advocates are increasingly turning to forensic evidence to prove the existence of the giant creature. Investigator Jimmy Chilcutt of the Conroe Police Department in Texas, who specializes in finger- and footprints, has analyzed the more than 150 casts of Bigfoot prints that Meldrum, the Idaho State professor, keeps in a laboratory. Chilcutt says one footprint found in 1987 in Walla Walla in Washington State has convinced him that Bigfoot is real. "The ridge flow pattern and the texture was completely different from anything I've ever seen," he said. "It certainly wasn't human, and of no known primate that I've examined. The print ridges flowed lengthwise along the foot, unlike human prints, which flow across. The texture of the ridges was about twice the thickness of a human, which indicated that this animal has a real thick skin." Meldrum, meanwhile, says a 400-pound (180-kilogram) block of plaster known as the Skookum Cast provides further evidence of Bigfoot's existence. The cast was made in September 2000 from an impression of a large animal that had apparently lain down on its side to retrieve some fruit next to a mud hole in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington State. Meldrum says the cast contains recognizable impressions of a forearm, a thigh, buttocks, an Achilles tendon and heel. "It's 40 to 50 percent bigger than a normal human," he said. "The anatomy doesn't jive with any known animal." A few academics believe Meldrum could be right. Renowned chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall last year surprised an interviewer from National Public Radio when she said she was sure that large, undiscovered primates, such as the Yeti or Sasquatch, exist. The Skeptics But the vast majority of scientists still believe Bigfoot is little more than supermarket tabloid fodder. They wonder why no Bigfoot has ever been captured, dead or alive. "The bottom line is, they don't have a body," said Michael Dennett, who writes for Skeptical Inquirer magazine and who has followed the Bigfoot debate for 20 years. Bigfoot buffs note that it's rare to find a carcass of a grizzly bear in the wild. While that's true, grizzlies have not escaped photographic documentation. Hair samples that have been recovered from alleged Bigfoot encounters have turned out to come from elk, bears or cows. Many of the sightings and footprints, meanwhile, have proved to be hoaxes. After Bigfoot tracker Ray Wallace died in a California nursing home last year, his children finally announced that their prank-loving dad had created the modern myth of Bigfoot when he used a pair of carved wooden feet to create a track of giant footprints in a northern California logging camp in 1958. Dennett says he's not surprised by the flood of Bigfoot sightings. "It's the same kind of eyewitness reports we see for the Loch Ness Sea Monster, UFOs, ghosts, you name it," he said. "The monster thing is a universal product of the human mind. We hear such stories from around the world."

| Legend of Bigfoot Has A Big Following
9-20-03
Northern California town set to play host to serious symposium WILLOW CREEK - They are tall, heavy, hairy, stinky - at least to us - and surprisingly nonaggressive. People say they must have excellent eyesight and a keen sense of smell. They are very shy - either that or they roam and forage mostly at night. On the off chance they are spotted, they are almost never in a group setting. Same goes for the people who say they've seen them. Whenever they leave behind footprints - big ones - people invariably rush out with plaster of Paris and make chunky castings. These creatures are the subject of books, websites and scientific papers and yet no one knows what they eat, how they socialize, where they live or if- and its a humdinger of an if - they exist at all. Snicker if you will, but Bigfoot still is a serious subject in some quarters, especially in Northern California, outliving the label of urban myth and withstanding all the mockery. Beginning today, Willow Creek will play host to the International Bigfoot Symposium, attracting everyone from crackpots to tenured professors for two days of scientific findings, pseudoscientific theories, spirited debate and the appropriate dose of folklore. Organizers say nearly 200 people had registered for the 4125 conference. One of the most heated topics in Bigfoot circles is whether someone should kill one, present it to the scientific community for study and end the mystery once and for all. Some say they have heard of people who have had a sasquatch in the their gun sights but could not pull the trigger. The thing looked too human. David Walsh, a longtime psychology professor at the University of Southern california, reported seeing a Bigfoot in 2002 while hunting wild pigs in MOnterey County. Too surprised to react as the creature disappeared into the woods, Walsh knows what he'll do next time. "I have a rifle in my gun case specifically bought for that purpose," Walsh said of his $2,500 .378-caliber Weatherby magnum. "I'm against killing one," said 79-year old Al Hodgson, who used to run a general store in the Humboldt County town. "But you know something, they've done an awful good job of protecting themselves so far. So good, in fact, that Bigfoot sightings in California appear to be drying up. Is it possible that Bigfoot will become extinct before one is even found? "I haven't heard much. It just seems like a quiet year," said Daniel Perez, publisher of the Bigfoot Times, a monthly newsletter. Regarding the debate over killing a Bigfoot, Perez says, "What's the objection? Here's a chance t solve one of the biggest questions the world may ever know." willow Creek residents are divided on the overall issue. some say they're reluctant to have serious conversations on the subject, fearing hurt feelings and heated tempers. But no one denies it's good for the small town's bottom line. "I firmly believe in the economic impact of Bigfoot," said Jo Ann Hereford, a volunteer at the Willow Creek-Chine Flat museum which has a Bigfoot display. Interest in Bigfoot is such that the museum recently began operating five days a week, up from three. Bigfoot enthusiasts still are smarting from ray Wallace's death in 2002, when his family revealed that the famous footprints "discovered" 40 miles north of Willow Creek were a hoax made with feet carved out of wood. Believers say that although the hoax was bad publicity, it doesn't affect the numerous other sightings, credible footprints and other evidence. Pointing to lack of evidence Still, skeptics wonder why no one has found a bone, a carcass, an encampment, feces - anything that can be tested for DNA. "Many prominent people in town don't believe," Hereford said. "We have business people who push everything Bigfoot, but the evidence hasn't persuaded them to believe." One of those is NOrm Evans, who has a Bigfoot mural on the wall of his Union 76 gas station and a 4,000-pound chain-saw carving of the creature out front. "It's a lot of fun, but I don't think there is a Bigfoot," Evans said. "There would have to be a Mrs. Bigfoot and junior Bigfoot, too. This country is remote, but people go into the woods hunting or growing marijuana, and no one has ever seen one. That statement might be heresy at the International Bigfoot Symposium. Attendees would point to the landmark "Patterson-Gimlin" film shot in 1967 or the recent work of Jimmy Chilcutt, a fingerprint expert with the Police Department in Conroe, Texas, who says footprint castings he's examined have distinct dermal ridge patterns that are not human. Chilcutt, 38, whose work is seen is giving the Bigfoot quest a badly needed shot in the arm, will be one of the symposium's most anticipated speakers. "We just want to know what the truth is - with no fanfare or flash." Chilcutt said, "I have no interest one way or the other. I'm just telling the facts. The evidence I have examined shows there is a north American primate out there somewhere." But where? That's the question no one seems able to answer, and the reason for the growing call to bring ina Bigfoot dead or alive. "I'm kind of proud of this guy. He has managed to evade capture for a long time," Chilcutt said. Walsh, the 56-year old USC professor, says he didn't even think about Bigfoot initially when he saw the huge, hairy creature sauntering through the forest 18 months ago. At 6-foot 6 inches tall himself, Walsh says the creature stood 7 to 8 feet tall and weighed about 1,200 pounds. When heh met up with two hunters later that evening, "I wasn't about to say anything to these guys. They would have thought I was a raving lunatic." But the professor is no longer afraid to talk about it. His brush with Bigfoot prompted him to read and study the topic in detail. "I would say the odds are 99 percent that there really is such a creature living in the wilderness of North America," Walsh said.
And if that creature is discovered near Willow Creek, everyone there agrees
it will be good for business. |

NEW SPECIES OF APES DISCOVERED? (8/13/2003): |
| Bigfoot Spotted in China & Tennessee
08-Jul-2003 A Bigfoot sighting has been reported in a forests in central China, where legends say the creatures live. It was seen by six people, including a journalist. Another one was spotted in Tennessee. A Bigfoot researcher, speaking at a conference nearby, was able to make a cast of the its footprint. The Chinese sighting was described as a grayish "mythical ape-like animal," 5 1/2 feet tall with shoulder-length black hair. Reporter Shang Zhengmin says it was moving quickly, and by the time their car caught up with it, the Bigfoot had disappeared. He and the other five passengers got out of their car and found several 3 foot-long footprints and newly broken branches nearby. They also discovered a patch of "foul smelling urine-like liquid" on the road where the creature was seen. Several years ago, China's state press announced that scientists had unearthed hundreds of fossilized teeth from giant apes in the same area where this Bigfoot was spotted. Hal McKenzie writes in cosmictribune.com about a Bigfoot sighting near the Alternate Realities Conference in Tennessee. A local woman called the conference to report that she'd seen a Bigfoot staring at her through the window of her trailer. Bigfoot investigator Sherry Lee Malin, who was speaking at the conference, hurried off to investigate and made a cast of what appeared to be a footprint in the soft ground. It shows two indentations 16-17 inches apart, which could be toes and a heel, or knuckles and a knee if the creature kneeled. One conference attendee was inspired by the sighting to divulge his own Bigfoot encounter, which he'd kept secret until then. On a winter hike, he followed a line of huge footprints in the snow that led to a still-steaming hole where a bipedal creature had just urinated. He was startled to see a huge, reddish-gray hairy hominid only 15 feet away striding through dry leaves and twigs, without making a sound.

An investigation has been launched in China after six people claimed to
have
spotted the Wild Man of Shennongjia. |
'Bigfoot' sighting in ChinaMonday, June 30, 2003BEIJING, China -- Chinese authorities are investigating several apparent sightings of a legendary 'ape-like' beast at a nature reserve in the central Hubei province. The mythical creature, suspected by locals to be a 'Bigfoot', was apparently seen by six people, including a journalist in the Shennongjia Nature reserve on Sunday afternoon, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported. Local legend has it that the reserve is home to the half-man, half-ape creature but several high-profile searches in the past three decades have failed to find any evidence of its existence. Speculation the 'Bigfoot' could be a descendant of apes mounted after China's state media reported several years ago that scientist had found fossilized teeth of giant primates in the area. The latest sighting described the creature as a grayish ape-like animal, the Xinhua report said, about 1.65-meters tall with shoulder length black hair. A vehicle carrying the journalist and five others was making a turn when the occupants saw the creature moving fast across the road, the Xinhua report said. By the time the vehicle had stopped, the animal had disappeared. The passengers found several 30 centimeter-long (12 inches) footprints and newly broken branches in the jungle near the road, the report said. They also claimed to have discovered a three-meter-long (9.9 feet) patch of "foul smelling urine-like liquid" on the road where the creature was seen. While some scientists theorize the creature could be the missing
link between primates and humans, other hypotheses say it may be a bear,
monkey or an elaborate hoax.

| Bigfoot Tracks Found in Canada
16-Jun-2003 In British Columbia, Francis Joe found a trail of huge 15 inch footprints in his strawberry field on the reservation where he lives. He thinks they belong to the legendary creature the Cowichan people call Thumquas. He says, "That's not the tracks of an ordinary human." He heard his dogs barking, but didn't pay any attention to them because they often "bark all night." Local fishermen told him they've heard growling noises in the brush along the river. Thirty years ago, his three daughters saw a sasquatch in the same vicinity. "It was just getting dark and it was standing by a ditch just staring at us," says Jeanne Bob. "It was really big, black and hairy, and had a very strong smell. I wasn't kidding then and now I really believe it." The soil in the berry patch was too soft to reveal a double ball on the foot, which some investigators believe separates real bigfoot tracks from fakes. The double ball would be necessary to carry the weight of the eight-foot creature. John Kirk, of the B.C. Scientific Cryptozoology Club, says, "Each foot print also has to be different because of walking mechanics. With fakes, every footprint is exactly the same." The footprints are three inches deep, which Kirk says is important because, "An imprint deeper than a human's indicates a greater weight."

| Bigfoot Prints in Colorado
13-Feb-2003
While some Bigfoot prints have been faked, not all of them are. Trevor Denny is one of the people who has seen and photographed a Bigfoot footprint. He was hiking with his dog on the Mesa Cortina trail in Colorado when he noticed several footprints on the trail. The largest measured 12 to 13 inches in length, and they looked human, with five distinct toes, but were far larger than any human feet he's ever seen. They were intermixed with bear paw prints. He followed them until they faded away, and two days later, he returned with his camera and took pictures of them. According to the Bigfoot Field Research Organization, there have been several Bigfoot sightings in Colorado in the past. |

Thursday, January 16, 2003 Bigfoot Walks Along Logan, Utah Canal © 2002 by Linda Moulton Howe January 15, 2003 North Logan, Utah - The mother and son in a North Logan, Utah family who have seen tall, hairy Bigfoot creatures walk along the canal behind their house have asked not to be identified for fear of public ridicule. The mother first saw a Bigfoot when she was 15-years-old in 1968 in almost the same place that her 16-year- old son saw another large, hairy creature on January 2, 2003. It was 11:30 p.m. MST and "Billy," as I'll call him, was talking with his cousin on his grandma's back porch two houses over from his parents' house. Click here for more. Snow elusive, but not mysterious Kashmir Snowman Was it the visitation of the Abominable Snowman, also called Yeti by some? Villagers in this Jammu and Kashmir village are sure it was. At least 20-year-old Raja Wasim has no doubt it was the Snowman that attacked him. Fondly called Raju by his parents, the young man came out of his uncle's home to feed cattle at a cowshed. He heard a strange noise among the greens in the lawn of the house. When he turned around, there it stood: a four-foot-tall monster, covered with dense, dark, black hair all over, "looking menacingly" at the youth. Claims Raju: "The is no mistake about what I saw. The monster had the face of a man with monkey-like features. It was four feet tall, but extremely sturdy. It was the Snowman. "It pounced at me and I jumped back on the veranda, shouting for help." Click here for more. John's Comments It is possible that the creature in the second story was an ape, judging from the description of it. However, there is another possibility as well. The 'veil between worlds' as it is often called, might be thinner right now. I don't pretend to know what it is that controls this barrier, but two sightings of Sasquatch type creatures might be a signal that our two worlds are closer right now. Be sure to keep your eyes and your mind open, and a good camera handy. *grin*
Happy Valentine's from the Skunk Ape 14-Feb-2003 Hi There! The Himalayas have the Yeti, Indonesia has the Orang- Pendek, the Pacific Northwest has Bigfoot. But there is no crypto-primate quite like Florida's Skunk Ape. The skunker is famous not only for a smell so powerful that it has been known to drive even swamp fishermen who have not bathed since childhood to crazed flight, it is also known for raising a riot (and a few other things) during its mating season. According to RV Park owner David Shealy of Ochobee, Florida, two visiting Swedish ladies have found out just what skunker mating season can mean--the hard way. They were peacefully fishing when they smelled something unpleasant. Then they heard growls, and soon discovered a skunk ape in some bushes near their rental car. The ape was in a visible state of sexual excitement. It remained nearby for a short time, sniffing the air in a strange manner. Once it had departed, the two ladies got in their car and, as Mr. Shealy put it, "left in a huff." Presumably, they are now back in Sweden. If you want to read more about this story, click on the link below, but be warned that it contains a graphic description of the ape's sexual state, so if that sort of thing offends you, don't push the button.

Bigfoot believers Legitimate scientific study of legend gains backing of top primate experts By Theo Stein Denver Post Environment Writer Sunday, January 05, 2003 - EDMONDS, Wash. - After enduring decades of ridicule, Bigfoot researchers are enjoying support from some of the world's most respected scientists in their efforts to prove the hulking creatures of legend are no myth. Post / John Epperson Richard Noll of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization photographs a site in the North Cascades, northeast of Seattle, last month. Noll and colleagues discovered an imprint near a mudhole where the Skookum Cast was recorded two years ago.
The persistence of reported sightings of Bigfoot-type creatures in North
America and elsewhere has convinced leading researchers on primates - including
Jane Goodall, made famous by her studies of chimpanzees in Tanzania - to
call for something never seriously considered before: a legitimate scientific
study to determine whether the greatest apes that ever lived persist in the
world's moist mountainous regions. Skeptics, who include those in the scientific mainstream, scoff at such ideas. They say reported Bigfoot encounters, tracks and other evidence are either hoaxes or mistakes, and that people who believe such nonsense are soft-headed. But dedicated amateurs and a smattering of professionals are trying to change that attitude. Using accepted scientific methods, they believe they can show at least some of the claimed evidence for Bigfoot - footprints, hair, voice recordings and a 400-pound block of plaster known as the Skookum Cast - are authentic traces of a rare giant primate. Recently they have received support from a handful of the field's top experts. Daris Swindler, for example, is not the typical Bigfoot believer. When he retired in 1991 after more than 30 years at the University of Washington, Swindler was an acclaimed expert in the arcane study of fossilized primate teeth. His book, "An Atlas of Primate Gross Anatomy," went through several printings and was among the standard references in the field. So it comes as a surprise to some of his peers that Swindler believes that the Skookum Cast, discovered by amateur Bigfoot researchers in 2000, is a genuine record of a hairy giant that sat down by a mudhole to eat some fruit. "Daris said that?" asked Russell Ciochon, a prominent paleoanthropologist and professor at the University of Iowa. "He's an important figure. But I still don't think Bigfoot exists in any form." Mythical giant apes lurk in the traditions of nearly every Native American linguistic group and in legends handed down through the ages from Europe and Asia. Each year, Bigfoot or similar creatures are reported by hundreds of hunters, hikers, motorists and others from central Asia to the central Rockies. But no one has provided the minimum proof required by science: a type specimen or remains that researchers can pick up, measure and argue over. Nevertheless, Goodall is intrigued. "People from very different backgrounds and different parts of the world have described very similar creatures behaving in similar ways and uttering some strikingly similar sounds," she said. "As far as I am concerned, the existence of hominids of this sort is a very real probability." George Schaller, director of science at the Wildlife Conservation Society, has spent 40 years studying rare animals in remote places, including pioneering studies of Central Africa's mountain gorilla, which Western scientists first discovered in 1903. THE SCIENTISTS A world-famous primate researcher and author, she revealed, in studies of chimpanzees in Tanzania's Gombe National Park, surprising behaviors in humanity's closest living relative. Goodall has won numerous international awards for her contributions to conservation, anthropology and animal welfare. Currently affiliated with Cornell University, she serves as the National Geographic Society's explorer-in-residence. GEORGE SCHALLER International science director for the Wildlife Conservation Society. His pioneering field studies of mountain gorillas set the research standard later adopted by Goodall and gorilla researcher Dian Fosse. Schaller's 1963 book, "The Year of the Gorilla," debunked popular perceptions of the great ape and reintroduced "King Kong" as a shy, social vegetarian. Schaller's studies of tigers, lions, snow leopards and pandas also advanced the knowledge of those endangered mammals. In 1973, he won the National Book Award for "The Serengeti Lion: A Study of Predator-Prey Relations," and in 1980 was awarded the World Wildlife Fund Gold Medal for his contributions to the understanding and conservation of endangered species. During the past decade, he has focused on the little-known wildlife of Mongolia, Laos and the Tibetan Plateau. RUSSELL MITTERMEIER A trained primatologist, herpetologist and biological anthropologist, he has discovered five new species of monkey, including two last year. Mittermeier has conducted fieldwork in more than 20 countries around the tropical world, with special emphasis on Brazil, Guyana and Madagascar. Since 1989, Mittermeier has served as president of Conservation International, which has become one of the most aggressive and effective conservation organizations in the world during the last decade. His publications include 10 books and more than 300 scientific papers and popular articles. DARIS SWINDLER Emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Washington, Swindler is a leading expert on living and fossil primate teeth and one of the top primate anatomists in general. His book, "An Atlas of Primate Gross Anatomy," has become a standard reference in the field. A forensic anthropologist, Swindler worked on the Ted Bundy and Green River murder cases along with hundreds of others. ESTEBAN SARMIENTO A functional anatomist affiliated with the American Museum of Natural History, Sarmiento focuses on the skeletons of hominids. In 2001, he participated with George Schaller in a search for Congo's Bili ape, a possible species super-chimp reported by natives but unknown to Western science. Sarmiento has also studied the Cross River gorilla, a critically endangered subspecies on the Nigeria-Cameroon border whose population is thought to be numbered in the hundreds. He has taught in the U.S., South Africa and Uganda. Schaller remains troubled by the fact no Bigfoot remains have been produced, nor have any samples of feces whose DNA can be chemically poked and prodded to unlock the identity of their maker. And he is mindful of hoaxing. But he, too, considers Bigfoot an open question. "There have been so many sightings over the years," he said. "Even if you throw out 95 percent of them, there ought to be some explanation for the rest. The same goes for some of these tracks." "I think a hard-eyed look is absolutely essential," he concludes. The most common evidence allegedly left by these animals are the footprints: big prints in remote locations, some deeply pressed in sand or gravel firm enough for a grown man to pass without leaving a trace. Some footprints, like those Ray Wallace's family claim he left near Bluff Creek, Calif., in the late 1950s, are hoaxed. Many more are too vague to be conclusive. But a few are so detailed and anatomically accurate that they baffle the experts. "Either the forgers are spending an awful lot of time on this, or there is reason to give this evidence another look," said primate researcher Esteban Sarmiento of the American Museum of Natural History. "I think a serious scientific inquiry is definitely warranted." Skeptics argue that large mammals, particularly great apes, simply aren't discovered anymore. Not true, says Russell Mittermeier, vice president of Conservation International, who has co-authored scientific papers describing five new primates. Since the 1990s there have been several spectacular finds, he said, including the antelope-like spindlehorn from Vietnam and a South American peccary thought to have gone extinct thousands of years ago. "I'm not one to pooh-pooh the potential that these large apes may exist," Mittermeier said. "I guess you could say I'm mildly skeptical but guardedly optimistic. Whoever does find it will have the discovery of the century." Words of encouragement like these are music to Bigfoot researchers' ears. "My whole motivation has not been to convince anybody of the existence of the animal, but to convince them that there's a body of evidence begging for further consideration," said Idaho State University professor Jeff Meldrum, whose expertise in primate locomotion led him to become one of the few academics openly researching Bigfoot tracks. "This is immense," said author John Green, who has tracked Bigfoot reports for almost half a century from British Columbia and investigated some of the most famous sightings and track finds. "The possibility that there could be a real animal behind it just didn't occur to scientists 20 years ago." The flap over recent claims of Bigfoot hoaxing has not deterred Swindler. But the lack of a body plus the acknowledgment of at least some hoaxing adds up to too many questions for Ciochon. Like that of Swindler, Ciochon's work focuses on fossilized primate teeth, but of a very special species: Gigantopithecus blacki, the giant Asian ape of the Miocene epoch, which lasted from about 24 million to 5 million years ago. Most Bigfoot supporters advance Gigantopithecus, or Giganto for short, as the likely ancestor of Bigfoot, if not the hairy beast itself. It's a tantalizing but entirely unproven link that drives Ciochon to distraction. Ciochon thinks his study subject, which co-existed with the human ancestor Homo erectus for hundreds of thousands of years, may well be the archetypal inspiration for the "boogeyman" and other nocturnal monsters that populate the traditions of aboriginal cultures from Nepal to North America. But he vigorously rejects any suggestion that Giganto, which he thinks was a specialized, bamboo-eating vegetarian, could persist today. And he worries that the hotly contested grants that fund his work overseas may go elsewhere if the stigma of the shambling sasquatch of Native American lore attaches to his study subject. "My biggest problem is there's no evidence, other than conjectural hair and these footprints, some of which we know are faked," Ciochon said. "If someone finds a skeleton, I'll be there in a nanosecond," he said. "But that's what it's going to take to get me to change my mind." "There are so many problems," agrees Swindler, who six years ago told a USA Today reporter to count him among the skeptics. But as he examines the Skookum Cast on a rainy December afternoon in this Seattle suburb, Swindler points out landmarks in the lumpy landscape: a hairy forearm the size of a small ham, an enormous hairy thigh, an outsized buttock, and a striking impression he feels confident was made by the Achilles tendon and heel of a creature that is not supposed to exist. "Whatever made this was very well adapted to walking on two feet," he said. "It's not conclusive, but it's consistent with what you'd expect to see if a giant biped sat down in the mud." Swindler hopes that his assessment of the Skookum Cast, and a Discovery Channel documentary set to air Thursday, will generate support for further research. The key, Schaller said, will be finding dedicated amateurs willing to spend months or years in the field with cameras. "So far, no one has done that," he said. It was a group of dedicated amateurs that discovered the Skookum Cast. A team of volunteers from the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization had spent two days in Washington state's Gifford Pinchot National Forest, putting out pheromone-basted plastic chips during the day and blasting sasquatch calls at night in an attempt to attract an animal. On the second night, researchers heard a powerful reply to their broadcasts, said Richard Noll, an aerospace toolmaker who has spent 30 years researching the mystery. The next morning, Noll was stunned to realize that an unusual impression of a large animal on the edge of a mudhole near their camp could have been left by their elusive quarry. "An elk will gather their feet under them when they get up," he said. "But there are no elk hoofprints in the center of the cast." Meldrum and Swindler concur there are only two logical explanations for the cast: Bigfoot and elk. And they have also ruled out elk. John Mionczynski, a wildlife researcher who has spent 30 summers studying bighorn herds in Wyoming's Wind River Mountains, has his own reasons for believing in Bigfoot. On a moonlit summer night in 1972, he backhanded an animal he thought was a bear as it sniffed at a bacon stain in his tent, then watched as the silhouette of a giant, shaggy arm with a broad hand at the end swept toward his tent, collapsing it on him. "That hand was three times as wide as mine and had an opposed thumb that stuck out as plain as day," Mionczynski said. He spent the rest of the night huddled by the fire with a revolver in his hand as the creature lobbed pine cones at him from the dark woods behind his tent. "That pretty much eliminated bears," Mionczynski said. Mionczynski is working on a contraption of tiny hooks and barbed wire that he intends to place near seasonal foods he thinks sasquatch depend on. He hopes the snare will let him get a DNA sample. North of Seattle, Noll is collaborating with Owen Caddy, a former Ugandan park ranger who studied chimpanzees in the mid-1990s. For the last 18 months, they've scoured certain sandbars on a north Cascades river, documenting more than 30 suspected sasquatch footprints they believe were made by a mother and two young. They hope to identify the animals' food sources and travel corridors, then set out a picket line of infrared camera traps. "I feel the animal is out there, and I don't hedge on that," Caddy said. "I've found physical evidence myself, and I'm confident in my analysis of it. "Something is making these tracks, and it's not people."

| SEARCH FOR BIGFOOT OUTLIVES THE MAN WHO CREATED HIM By Timothy Egan New York Times January 3, 2003 http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/03/national/03FOOT.html?pagewanted=print&position=top SEATTLE, Jan. 2 ‹ No region in the country has a lower percentage of churchgoers than the Pacific Northwest. But ask people here about the existence of a camera-resistant, grooming-challenged, upright biped known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch and the true believers shout to the misty heavens in affirmation. So it came as a considerable blow when the children of Ray L. Wallace announced that their prank-loving pop had created the modern myth of Bigfoot when he used a pair of carved wooden feet to stomp a track of oversized footprints in a Northern California logging camp in 1958. Mr. Wallace, 84, died on Nov. 26 at a nursing home in Centralia, Wash. "This wasn't a well-planned plot or anything," said Michael Wallace, one of Ray's sons. "It's weird because it was just a joke, and then it took on such a life of its own that even now, we can't stop it." Bigfoot defenders, including at least two scientists and a clinical psychologist who says he ran into the Big Guy two years ago in southern Oregon, are undeterred. They give Mr. Wallace credit for the hoax, which led to news stories around the world and began thousands of campfire debates. But, they say, other evidence is too strong to let a prank kill something that has become ingrained in the culture. And, curiously, the death of the original Bigfoot comes at a time when he has been making more appearances than Elvis. In the Northwest, the hirsute hominid, who dates to American Indian lore as Sasquatch, is a minor industry. A publisher -- Sasquatch Books -- and an N.B.A. team mascot -- Squatch of the Seattle Supersonics -- are both named for the ape-like primate. Several organizations host regular conferences on the subject. There are field guides for tracking Bigfoot, music tapes and CD's with his sounds (a low, heavy-breathing moan, not unlike a winded Homer Simpson), and innumerable works of art inspired by his shaggy essence. To say that Bigfoot is dead, and existed only as a set of wooden feet, is like saying there is no serpent in the depths of Loch Ness, or that Babe Ruth did not lay a curse on the Red Sox after being sold to the Yankees. "All it means is that Ray Wallace is dead, not Bigfoot," said Dr. Wolf Henner Fahrenbach, a zoologist in the Portland area who is retired from the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center. Mr. Wallace loved to play jokes, and no prank was bigger than the one he put together in 1958 outside a logging camp in Humboldt County, Calif. Though some Bigfoot believers had long suspected that Mr. Wallace created the tracks, he kept his secret, and his family never confirmed it until his death. Michael Wallace said his father had a friend carve the feet. Then he had a truck drive him slowly, to create a large gait, as he stomped the prints in the ground. It created a sensation in the press and made Humboldt County prime habitat and ground zero for hunters and hoaxers alike. Dr. Fahrenbach has tried to prove -- by DNA analysis of hair samples -- that Bigfoot is a species heretofore unknown to science. To date, he has come up empty, which he attributes to fragmented DNA. But Dr. Fahrenbach has done an extensive analysis of 706 footprints, and has concluded that the average length of the animal's foot is 15.6 inches and that an adult Sasquatch can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. "Sasquatch feet grow in substantial excess of general body dimensions," Dr. Fahrenbach wrote in one study. "Hence the justifiable moniker Bigfoot." It may seem remarkable that Ray Wallace's staged footprints, which appear to have launched the term "Bigfoot" into popular idiom, were within an inch or so of the other prints, but Dr. Fahrenbach is unfazed. "I've gotten close enough to smell him," said Dr. Fahrenbach, recounting a backpacking trip to a remote valley in the North Cascades of Washington. How did he know precisely what eau de Sasquatch smelled like? "I didn't at the time," he said, "but I was later able to match the smell with other descriptions." Nor has the Wallace family's revelation altered the views of Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University in Pocatello. Dr. Meldrum is perhaps the only active academic supporter of Bigfoot, a position that he said had brought everything from open ridicule to curious sympathy from his colleagues. Dr. Meldrum said he was a skeptic until he saw Bigfoot prints, then began collecting and analyzing them. Some are easily identified as hoaxes, he said, but other defy explanation. "What concerns me about the Ray Wallace story is that it puts a damper on legitimate researchers," Dr. Meldrum said. "They're seen as kooks or cranks. But what it actually does is steel them all the more." Dr. Meldrum and Dr. Fahrenbach may have some academic investment in Bigfoot, but Dr. Matthew Johnson, a clinical psychologist from Grants Pass, Ore., said his conviction could not be dismissed as scholarly bias. Dr. Johnson said he was too big -- 6 feet 9 inches tall -- too educated, and too familiar with the outdoors after living in Alaska for years to be fooled by some guy in an ape suit, or a logger with wooden feet. "I've never had a U.F.O. encounter and have not seen the Loch Ness monster," he said. "I was just a husband and father out for a hike." Two years ago, while hiking with his family in the Oregon Caves National Monument, Dr. Johnson said, he ventured off to the side of a trail, looked up to some trees and stared, eye to eye with Bigfoot. He reported his find to the National Park Service. "Ray Wallace may have indeed hoaxed his own tracks," Dr. Johnson said. "But I can guarantee you that Ray Wallace was not walking around in a nine-foot Bigfoot suit in the Oregon Caves at the age of 82. What I saw was real." Since the encounter, Dr. Johnson, now president of the Southern Oregon Bigfoot Society, has led numerous outings to feed and track Bigfoot. He leaves bananas and husked corn for the animal. What nearly all Bigfoot stories lack is proof: a skeleton or a body, or a picture or film beyond dispute. Bigfoot is among the most camera-elusive of beings. Supporters note that it is rare to find a carcass or skeleton of a grizzly bear in the wild. True. But grizzlies have never escaped photographic documentation. What remains as the Holy Grail for believers is a home movie made in 1967 by an amateur Bigfoot hunter, Roger Patterson, who has since taken his secret to the grave. Filmed in the Six Rivers National Forest in Northern California, not far from where Ray Wallace laid his tracks, the short film shows a bewildered-looking apeman walking upright, while glancing at the camera. The film has its believers, Dr. Meldrum and Dr. Fahrenbach among them. And it has its detractors, including Cliff Crook, who has sought the mythic beast for 45 years. "I get beat up for saying this, but the Patterson film is a fake," Mr. Crook, who heads a group of like-minded enthusiasts called Bigfoot Central from his home near Seattle. He is not moved by the Ray Wallace family confession. "Most of us knew he had faked those tracks," Mr. Crook said. So they soldier on, tramping through the woods, spreading bananas and taking plaster casts of tracks, sniffing the air for a telltale stench of something that has gone a long time without bathing. "We're feeling pretty confident we're going to have irrefutable scientific proof," Dr. Johnson said. "It's just a matter of time." To all the searchers, the Wallaces say Godspeed. "As long as Dad was alive, he was Bigfoot," Michael Wallace said. "He may be gone, but I still think people should keep looking."

| Moorhead man has been hunting bigfoot for 16 years
11-3-2002 MOORHEAD, MINN. -- If a bigfoot is living in the dense, wooded areas of Minnesota, Mike Quast hopes to be the one who finds it. Quast, 34, who lives in Moorhead and works for a custodial company, has his work cut out for him. First of all, most people scoff at the existence of such a creature. And second, most of the people who believe in the existence of a bigfoot-like creature are searching for it in the Pacific Northwest. Quast's belief stems from his own sighting. It happened in 1976, when Quast was 8 years old. He was in a car with his parents when he saw what he believes was a bigfoot. or sasquatch. They were driving near Strawberry Lake, on the White Earth Indian Reservation north of Detroit Lakes. "I was kind of stunned and didn't say anything for a while," Quast said. "I told my parents later, and they didn't take it too seriously." His mission began when he graduated from high school in 1986. Since then, he's collected stories from people who claim to have seen a bigfoot, and he's hunted for the creature. He's collected his observations and reports in a book called "The Sasquatch in Minnesota." "When I first started looking into it and reading all the books, there were nine reports of sightings in Minnesota, but the official records were really incomplete," he said. Car attacked The first story he ever investigated was about a creature that was seen in the Vergas, Minn., area. "There was an urban legend story going around there about the hairy man that I heard about from my brother-in-law," Quast said. "He said he knew someone who had seen it." Quast tracked down a mechanic who told him that when he was a teenager in 1968 he and his brother and his brother's girlfriend were driving around in a wooded area near Vergas and that a creature leaped out at them. When they turned the car around to get another look at it, it attacked their car. They later found a large dent in the trunk lid. They described the creature as weighing about 300 pounds and standing 7 or 8 feet tall. "He said it had a face like a gorilla and an upright body like a man, and it was covered with hair, a standard bigfoot description," Quast said. The townspeople built a story around it, saying that it was some crazy hermit who lived in the woods. "They started to hunt for the thing over the next few months, and they saw it a couple of more times, running at night," he said. They never saw the creature in the winter, so they figured it was hibernating. Then one spring, they found a shack with a hole dug under it. It smelled like a dead animal so they burned the shack down. "I heard about other stories, and I started searching the area," Quast said. Different sizes Quast spent much time searching the Vergas area. "In August of 1989 I found what I believe were bigfoot tracks." The tracks were 16 inches long with three toes. He made plaster casts of the tracks. In August 1970 he found a set that was 20 inches long, and, over time, he's found three different sets of tracks, one only 12 inches long. "I thought it might have been a small family group that passed through the area once in a while," he said. "I haven't found anything there in recent years because there's been a lot of development out there," he said. "It's still a woods, but it isn't as wild as it used to be." Then, in the early 1990s, Quast met a trapper who lived near Zerkel, east of Mahnomen in Clearwater County. "He found some tracks on his property that he couldn't explain," Quast said. The tracks were of a two-legged creature, but they weren't typical bigfoot or human tracks. The tracks were circular with two large toes and, where the three other toes should have been, there was an impression of hair growing under the toes. Tracks were found of slightly different sizes, and Quast speculates the tracks were from a subspecies of bigfoot. "The DNR suggested he get in touch with me," Quast said. "It became a fascination with him too." The trapper found the first set of tracks in December 1990 and more tracks in March 1991. "The tracks turned up again, and there were a lot more of them the second time," Quast said. "He thought he saw close to 2,000 tracks that day." The trapper put up notices around town and started asking people in the area if they had seen anything. "Other people had seen tracks, and there were sightings over the years," Quast said. Scream in the night The trapper became the best source of information Quast ever had, and Quast spent a lot of time searching on the trapper's property, even after he died more than a year ago. "During the time I knew him, there were occasional reports, and he found more tracks," Quast said. "After a while, he started finding the more common type of tracks with the more human type of foot. Many of the tracks were smaller, indicating they were from a young bigfoot." Since then Quast has concentrated his bigfoot hunt in the White Earth State Forest in Clearwater County in a heavily forested area the locals call the Buckboard Hills. One night when Quast was camping on the trapper's property he heard what he believes was a bigfoot. "If you study the bigfoot literature, they describe the sound as a scream, and I think that I heard it one night when I was camping there," he said. "At about 10 at night, this noise just came out of nowhere. It was so loud, the woods just shook with it, and I remember feeling very alone and very vulnerable out there, at that time. I think there were two of them calling back and forth to each other, because I heard it come from two different areas." Quast said he will keep searching until he has proof that bigfoot exists. "I think one of the main reasons why science doesn't take this animal seriously is because we have labeled it a monster, and nobody is supposed to believe in monsters," he said. "If it had just been thought of as a new species of wildlife, there would have been scientists out there looking for it." http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3404980.html

ON THE TRAIL OF CHINA'S BIGFOOT (7/30/2002): By Rosanne Lin Shanghai Star July 25, 2002 http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/star/2002/0725/vo2-2.html North American skeptics take note -- in 1976-77, the Chinese Government sponsored a yeren (wildman) -- commonly known to the West as Bigfoot -- expedition to Shennongjia Mountain Forest in central Hubei Province consisting of 100 people, including army personnel. That trip and others have produced numerous samples of what Yuan Zhenxin, a well-known paleoanthropologist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, claims are the hair, footprints and feces of an undiscovered species, possibly the missing link between man and ape -- the wildman. Eye-witness reports describe the wildman as about 9 feet tall, with five-toed feet measuring some 40 centimetres in length, red hair and terrible body odour. He is apparently a vegetarian who prefers corn-on-the-cob. Since the 1970s, government sponsored expeditions have managed to detail scores of wildman sightings among local residents, although the wildman himself continues to shy away from both outsiders and cameras, complicating independent verification. However, scientists remain resolute in their investigations. According to a August 2, 1988 report in Shanghai's Wenhui Bao, an analysis of hair samples allegedly taken from the wildman prove he exists. And wildman is not alone. Yuan believes some 1,000 to 2,000 of these Chinese Bigfoot creatures are currently roaming the dense forests of Hubei's mountain area -- interactions with locals have ranged from crude attempts at communication to encounters of a more personal nature. Yuan notes that he has personally investigated stories of abduction, including two cases where farmers were kidnapped by the creature but managed to escape. Yuan fails to elaborate on the nature of these abductions, but according to victims of wildman's American cousin, Bigfoot, the creature has a voracious sexual appetite. Some critics will inevitably attribute these sightings to poisonous Western influences, however they would be wrong. Reported sightings of the wildman date back thousands of years before China had any contact with the West. A statesman-poet named Qu Yuan who lived in the third century BC in the Shennongjia area referred to "mountain ogres" in his verses. While a seventh century historian described a tribe of "hairy men" living in the same region, and an 18th century poet spoke of a creature "monkey-like yet not monkey" in adjoining Shaanxi province. Liu Minzhuang, a biology lecturer in Shanghai who has been researching wildman for more than 20 years, notes the convincing testimony of one old peasant. According to the elderly witness, he accompanied Kuomintang soldiers as they tracked eight wildmen through thick forests for 10 days in 1947. One wildman was eventually killed and dismembered by the soldiers, the peasant said, but records of the incident were lost in the chaos of the civil war. Such violent encounters may explain the wildman's reluctance to mix socially with the human species. Perhaps the wildman is a distant hominid cousin of homo sapiens from some lost prehistoric era who has already survived tough lessons. Should it surprise us that the wildman would go to extremes to avoid contact? Considering recent events -- from the September 11 attacks to the bombing of innocent civilians in Afghanistan -- how can we feign surprise. |

Team 2: Tracking Bigfoot MT. ST. HELENS - These footprints (left) could be proof that the creature known as "Bigfoot" existed. A California man says this giant, fossilized footprint suggests the legend is true. He discovered it among rocky terrain while he was looking for gold. And more evidence suggests the creature known as Sasquatch could still be alive today. In the past month there have been two Bigfoot sightings near Mt. St. Helens. KATU's Ed Teachout set out to investigate what one man says he not only saw, but attempted to catch. "I get down here and he's peeking through the trees," Jerry Kelso told KATU. Kelso couldn't believe what he saw with his family last Saturday near Mt. St. Helens. While his wife and 2-year-old waited in the car, Kelso chased after what he originally thought was a man in a suit pulling a stunt. "And he's standing about 40 yards over there, and when I broke through I went, 'Wow' and my wife starts screaming," said Kelso. But as Kelso got closer he says began to believe he was face to face with the real thing--Bigfoot. "He was about six foot, six foot one, very dark brown almost a black and hairy all over," said Kelso. That didn't stop Kelso. He says he continued to chase the thing until he says he saw he was carrying a club. "That," said Kelso, is when he knew, "it was a Sasquatch, what else?" Not believing his story, we followed the trail the beast allegedly took. We found signs of elk and maybe bear. "It's been eating grass whatever it is," said Kelso. Then Kelso and KATU's Ed Teachout found a track that looked like nothing we've seen in the woods before. "That looks like a track there. That's not a human foot," said Teachout. Kelso, who's an aerospace consultant, says he wouldn't have told a soul, but after hearing another man had sighted a Bigfoot 10 days before, a mile from where he sighted his, he decided to speak up. Though his creature looked similar to what others say they've seen before, this creature reportedly was smaller and didn't smell at all. After getting back into the car, Kelso wanted to chase the thing, he said, but his wife forbade him. "She was very scared," said Kelso. "I guess I think I'm tough or something you know. I've been hurt too many times to worry about some little guy with a club," Kelso said. So the elusive Bigfoot gets away again leaving only his footprint and legend behind. The Bigfoot Field Researchers' Organization is making castings of the footprints and interviewing people who live in the area. More Information: The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization

| Search for Bigfoot a tall order Documentary filmmaker getting scientific in quest for Sasquatch Associated Press BOISE -- The hunt for Sasquatch, aka Bigfoot, in the gloomy rainforests of the Pacific Northwest has always involved a little bit of science and a great deal of bluster about supposed encounters with a North American ape. A producer of films for the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet has consulted with Idaho State University anatomy professor Jeff Meldrum and other experts on a documentary that hammers the myth with a lot of science. ''I just want some darn answers that at least come from a position of research and knowledge,'' said Douglas Hajicek of Whitewolf Entertainment in Minnesota. Hajicek is filming ''Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science,'' which is scheduled to air on Discovery in November. Sasquatch has been part of Indian legends for centuries. The name is the English version of the Salish Tribe's word for wild man, or hairy man. Like other people who have taken up the hunt, Hajicek's journey started when he glimpsed some tracks. He was at Selwynn Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories filming giant trout. But he spotted some giant footprints, about 18 inches long. ''They went through gravel, beach sand, dirt, moss,'' he said. ''It was incredible the depth of them, even in the gravel. I was told by the guides there were no grizzlies there, no polar bears -- and I know bear tracks.'' Meldrum also documented a trail of more than 40 footprints he encountered along a muddy road adjacent to the Umatilla National Forest near Walla Walla. An expert in primate locomotion, Meldrum said those tracks and others appeared to have been left by a biped whose feet are much more flexible than the human foot, with a high arch and better adapted for mountain terrain. They would be as tall as 10 feet and weigh 1,000 pounds. Hajicek examines several supposed close encounters with the hairy humanoid over the last 40 years. In October 1967, Roger Patterson claimed to have captured on film a female Bigfoot retreating across a sandbar in northern California. Skeptics have passed off the fuzzy film as a man in a monkey suit. Hajicek took the footage and ran it through highresolution equipment to highlight the limbs as the subject walks. The resulting computerized anatomical model is seen from several angles, including from above. ''The film shows tons of muscles expanding and contracting,'' he said. ''If it's a guy in a suit, he had to be attached to the skin.'' In 1996, campers at a northern Washington lake filmed a subject racing over boulder-strewn ground. Meldrum said it appears to pick up a young Bigfoot and set it on its shoulder. Hajicek will employ high-resolution scanners on the same site, contrasting his footage with the original one. He also will employ a track star to run across the same route to compare the speed. In 2000, a group of Bigfoot hunters near Mount Adams in Washington set out apples as bait and played recordings of the creature.They said Bigfoot called back to them and left an indentation in the mud at the bait which seems to show the hindquarters, forearm and Achilles' tendon of a large primate. They made a plaster cast of the indentation, and Hajicek is having hairs that were embedded in the cast and saliva on the fruit analyzed for DNA. Sound recordings made at the site also are under study.

TWO MEN IN INDIA CLAIM 'INDIAN BIGFOOT CAUGHT ON TAPE' (3/21/2002): Ananova |
|
AN AMAZON ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN (1/7/2002): HOWLING AMAZON MONSTER JUST AN INDIAN LEGEND? By Axel Bugge Reuters Tuesday, December 18, 2001 http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/nm/20011218/sc/brazil_monster_dc_1.html BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) - Imagine this: a hairy, six-foot monster, howling and stinking of death, crossing your path in the semi-darkness under the canopy of the mighty Amazon jungle. Among Amazon Indians, legend has it that such a creature stalks the forests like a tropical Abominable Snowman -- never photographed or captured. The animal species called "Mapinguari,'" or giant defenders of the forests, by the Indians, is also known to the thousands of hunters that brave the forests every year. One such person, Joao Batista Azevedo, says he saw a Mapinguari 20 years ago after a 45-day canoe ride from the nearest village. "I was working by the river when I heard a scream, a horrible scream," the now 70-year-old Azevedo told Reuters by telephone from his remote Amazon village. "Suddenly something looking like a man came out of the forest, all covered in hair. He was walking on two legs and thank God he did not come toward us. I will always remember that day." Veteran Amazon ornithologist David Oren takes such stories very seriously. So much, in fact, that since 1988 he has been on a quest to find one of the creatures in the name of science and has led several expeditions into the depths of the world's largest rain forest to hunt for it. "It's still being sited regularly. Several people think they came face to face with the Devil in the forest," he says of people like Azevedo who have helped guide him on his search. He believes there are dozens left. Oren's theory is that the beast could be the world's last living giant ground sloth -- a distant relative of existing tree sloths -- that became extinct more than 10,000 years ago. That belief has cost him dearly, he says, in the often conservative scientific community where reputation is everything. The National Geographic Society turned him down and he has funded his expeditions largely with his own money. Paul Martin, a Meritus Professor of Geosciences at the University of Arizona and leading expert on the theory that humans were responsible for the extinction of such animals as the giant ground sloth, is one skeptic. 13,000 YEARS TOO LATE? "I think he is 13,000 years too late. This sure does sound like the hunt for a Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster," Martin said. "The part of me that is completely romantic is rooting for David Oren. But where the science part of me is concerned I don't give him a chance." Oren argues that a kind of giant ground sloth could still be alive in the Amazon because the forests offer huge, remote areas providing the necessary isolation to survive. Thick and impenetrable, the Amazon's continuous forest covers an area larger than all of Western Europe and is home to up to 30 percent of the world's animal and plant life. Scientists say giant ground sloths were in abundance across the Americas, evidenced by fossil finds of such creatures in places as far apart as Patagonia in the south to the northwest of the United States. The beast could have moved to the Amazon to escape hunting and encroachment of man on its natural habitat elsewhere. Claudio Padua, a doctor of ecology who teaches at the University of Brasilia, is one of the few scientists prepared to believe Oren because the Amazon is still hiding thousands of undiscovered species. "It would be the find of the century, it would have an extraordinary impact" if found, said Padua. He points out that 10 species of monkeys were discovered in the Amazon in the last decade. "As a scientist I accept that everything is possible until there is proof to the contrary," he said. FOREMOST RESEARCH CENTER Generally a well-respected scientist, Oren is originally American but now carries a Brazilian passport. He first came to the Amazon in 1977 and for years worked for the Emilio Goeldi Museum in Belem -- one of Brazil's foremost Amazon research centers. While he plugged away mapping the biological makeup of the Amazon, his fame may be best-connected with the Mapinguari. Oren moved this year from Belem to take up a post with U.S. environmental group Nature Conservancy in Brasilia, thousands of miles from the Amazon, making it very difficult for him to hunt the Mapinguari. So has he lost his belief? Not at all, he says. Indeed in June, just after leaving, he wrote his second scientific article in a decade on the beast, presenting all his evidence. "When I wrote the 1993 paper, I had never interviewed anyone who had claimed to have killed one of these supposed animals," he wrote in the newsletter of the World Conservation Union's Edentate Specialist Group. He has now talked to seven hunters who claim to have shot the animal and another 80 people who have seen it, he says. "What they describe: a creature approximately two meters (six feet) tall when standing upright; a very strong, unpleasant smell; extremely heavy and powerful build; capable of breaking thick roots with its footsteps," the article says. Most likely a defense mechanism, the smell is described by some witnesses as a mixture of feces and rotting flesh. Oren says the beast has long coarse fur, four large teeth and that it moves on two or four legs. It also has an "extremely loud, roaring vocalization ... similar to a human calling loudly, but with a growl at the end." In fact, on his expeditions, Oren says he himself yelled into the darkness and it howled back to him. In his Brasilia villa, Oren keeps more evidence that includes a clay mold of a footprint, about an inch deep, with three large toes. The toes face backward because the creature walks on its knuckles, he says. A series of pictures includes a photo of claw marks on a tree, eight of them about a foot long and an inch deep. But there are big holes in the story. For one, the hunters who say they shot it did not keep any fragment of the creature, apparently throwing the parts away due to the strong stench. Oren remains convinced though, arguing that the story needs to be widely published to ensure that if one is shot again its remains are inspected by scientists. And despite the skepticism of many, there's no doubt scientists are fascinated by Oren's hunt. "I'd be thrilled out of my mind if he (Oren) succeeded, it would be in my wildest dreams," said Martin. "We (humans) resonate with these large animals, so everybody in town is going to feel the emotion of such a find." |
| 'Indian bigfoot caught on tape' claim From: http://www.ananova.com/yournews/story/sm_548934.html Two men in northern India claim to have seen the region's equivalent of 'Bigfoot' building a nest. The witnesses say they saw the beast on separate occasions and one says he filmed it. Wildlife experts say the animal was probably a bear and officials have been sent into woodland to track it down. The Straits Times reports the so-called Mande Burung was first spotted by Nebilson Sangma while hunting in the state of Meghalaya. Sangma said the animal walked like man, had built a "house-like nesting place" and lived off bananas. He said: "After overcoming the initial shock, my brother and I observed this gigantic hairy creature for three consecutive days from afar." His reports were backed up just days later by Dipu Marak who says he filmed it near its nest. Footprints which measured 20ins long were then found in the same area around the foothills of the Nokrek National Park. Story filed: 10:52 Wednesday 20th March 2002 |
BRITONS CLAIM TO HAVE FOUND 'YETI' Ananova October 30, 2001 http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_437043.html A group of British explorers claim to have found irrefutable proof of a "Yeti-like" creature on an Indonesian island. The team has discovered a footprint and hair samples of a primate which has long lived in the mythology of tribes people in Western Sumatra. A cast of the footprint and strands of coarse hair are being sent to research institutes at Oxford University and the University of Canberra in Australia for verification. If the finds are substantiated, they could provide valuable scientific clues to an unidentified creature which could hold the key to the missing link between humans and apes. Andrew Sanderson, Newcastle upon Tyne, Adam Davies from Stockport, and Keith Towley from Macclesfield, spent three weeks in the rainforests tracking a creature called Orang Pendek -- meaning 'Little Man of the Forest'. Sightings on the island describe the creature as being 5ft tall with chocolate-brown, orange hair. It's distinguishing feature is its humanlike gait - walking upright on its back legs without the aid of its front fists. Crypto-zoologist Mr Sanderson said: "Over the years there have been many sightings of the yeti, but no one has actually come up with any concrete evidence. We seem to be the first people to do that. "We didn't see the creature ourselves but we tracked it for several weeks and we managed to make a plaster cast of one of its footprints. It is absolutely perfect and experts are already beginning to get excited about it." A digital re-print of the footprint has been sent to Colin Groves, a professor of primatology at the University of Canberra. The hair samples are being sent to the micro biology unit at Oxford University. The group hope that DNA testing will prove the existence of a previously undiscovered primate. Despite the potential scepticism for such a find, the team remain confident that their discovery is unique. |

TRACKING THE BIGFOOT TRACKERS (6/14/2001): A handful of members begin to talk at another BFS meeting about
some of the people who have cycled through their organization -- and why
those people aren't around anymore. One member was upset about a tracker
who had borrowed his camper about a year ago for a backwoods Bigfoot
excursion. "He must've gotten drunk and walked on the roof,"
the member said. "The damn roof leaked after he dropped it back
off." |

Genetic tests on the hair, which was gathered from a tree in Bhutan, have failed to match its DNA to that of another animal, said the report in The Times. The findings, which have surprised sceptical researchers, raise the strong possibility that the sample belongs to an as yet undiscovered species. In Bhutan, an expedition team was led by an official Yeti-hunter" to a forest in the eastern part of the country, where he was convinced that an animal was at large. He told us that he had found evidence of the Yeti in the hollow of a cedar tree," Rob McCall, a zoologist who was part of the expedition, was quoted as saying. Dr. McCall's team removed strands of hair from the tree and returned to Britain to have them analysed. Bryan Sykes, professor of Human Genetics at the Oxford Institute of Molecular Medicine, one of the world's leading experts on DNA analysis, who examined the hair, told The Times: "We found some DNA in it, but we don't know what it is. It's not a human, not a bear nor anything else we have so far been able to identify. It's a mystery and I never thought this would end in a mystery. We have never encountered DNA that we couldnt recognise before." (c) 2001 Deutsche Presse-agentur All rights reserved Copyright (C) 1998-2001 Internet Technologies China.

James Aiken sent photographs of a Skunk Ape to Art Bell. The photographs were taken near Sarasota, Florida by an elderly woman who did not want to be interviewed. The creature was in her backyard late at night. She didn't realize the creature was there until after the photos were taken. This is not considered a Bigfoot, but an American Ape. It is estimated to be 7 to 8 feet tall. Apples were cut up and left out for the creature as bait, but it would not eat the cut apples, but did eat a whole apple, which is a sign of intelligence as the cut apples were been contaminated by human smell. The website with further information is http://www.ifrs.com - (The link isn't working but might later in the week) The man who originally contacted the eldery woman is named David Barkasy. (Experts said that the Skunkape is not considered to be a Bigfoot. The difference between a Skunkape and a Bigfoot is rather obvious if one could see their feet. A Bigfoot 'foot' is large but humanoid. A Skunkape foot is more like a Chimpanzee and rather more like a hand which spreads out ... much different than a 'foot'.

Field Guide on the Skunkape - Florida |
Anderson County Texas Palestine, 75801 "On August 5, 2001 at 0313 CDT, on US Hwy 287, which is 31 miles west of Palestine, Texas, I was traveling westbound at 65 mph when I saw what looked like a bear cub or a very large dog sitting in the middle of the road. I slowed down to 15 mph; I hit my high beams and stopped about 20 yards away from the animal. I put on my 4-way flashers, turned on my interior spotlight. As I looked up I saw a huge bipedal creature that I will call Bigfoot. It walked from the soft shoulder of the road to the animal in the road. As he (I am pretty sure it was a male) walked in front of my tractor he shielded his eyes, not seemingly out of shyness, but more as an effort to protect his eyes from the bright lights. I reduced my headlights to low beam, but decided not to turn them off as I was in the middle of the highway. I was doing my best to protect them by blocking the road with my tractor-trailer. The big male went over to what I realized was a 'toddler.' "He" grabbed its shoulder and attempted to grab the little one's arm. The little one "scooted" away like a child trying to get away from a parent that wants the child to go somewhere and the child doesn't want to go. The little one had greater agility than the big male. The little one squirmed, scrambled, and scooted further up the road from where they were. Then something caught my eye and ear directly next to my driver's window. I casually looked over and within two feet of my face was a female. No doubt female, she had "nursing breasts" (extended nipples). Her eyes were almost even with my eye/level. I measured from where the top of her head came up to my mirror; it was 7' 4" tall. The male was at least one foot taller than her, plus some. She had a "gamy" smell but didn't stink. Immediately upon seeing her, I smiled with all the teeth I have. From the interior spotlight, which was pointed down toward my lap, I am sure she was able to see me clearly. I certainly saw her clearly, so clearly I could smell and feel her breath. I particularly noticed the volume of air that she breathed. Not out of breath, or even heavy breathing, just a large volume of air with each breath. I again smiled at her and asked, "Is the baby okay?" She slowly "smiled" back at me. I noticed a dental anomaly...either she had a double row of teeth or the crowns of her teeth were split on the top center to give the impression of two rows of teeth. She then reached into the tractor and stroked my beard (like I do when I'm thinking). My beard is mid-chest length and multi-colored. It was then I realized the large male's head was identical to mine, although his beard was shorter. The female had thin facial hair on her chin. The rest of his hair/fur was dark brown with traces of gray/white on his shoulders, back and chest. She was a mixture of brown and reddish-brown hair/fur, mostly reddish-brown. As she took her hand off my beard, and took her hand out of my tractor, I extended my hand out to her. She sandwiched my hand between her two hands, her hands were 2x-3x larger than mine. Her hands felt like roughneck work gloves (rough leather). At this point she gave me a "soulful" look. From her facial expressions and her watery eyes, I took it that she was saying, "thanks for not running over my baby". The eyes were not dead eyes, they were bright and moist, just very dark brown, not black. The large male had the "child" under his left arm like a sack of potatoes. He never looked directly at me as I watched him walk back into the treeline. I noticed at least 3 more (I suspected even more) at the treeline. They ranged from the height of the female to slightly shorter, but none came close to the size of the male. **Please do not use my name. I have no objections to your use of this report, but please do not use my name. As I told you on the phone, I am not a fan of the paranormal (UFO's, Aliens, Time- travel, etc.). I had no belief in what I saw, until I saw it. I had no fear of these creatures (as I explained on the phone). ** I believe any use of deadly force would have been borderline homicide (no doubt in my mind).

MORE ON 'BIG FOOT' HUNTER, RENÉ DAHINDEN (4/30/2001): TRAIL ENDS FOR BIGFOOT'S BIGGEST FAN

| Legend of Bigfoot Put to Test! 1/15/2001 http://www.denverpost.com/news/news0114a.htm (link may not work) Legend of Bigfoot put to test By Theo Stein Denver Post Environment Writer Jan. 14, 2001 - All things considered, 2000 was a rather big year for Bigfoot researchers. In April, two fly-fishermen reported huge, humanlike footprints 7 miles apart along the banks of Colorado's Eagle River. Bill Heicher, a wildlife biologist at the Colorado Division of Wildlife, evaluated the evidence and drew two conclusions: The tracks weren't faked, and they weren't made by a bear. Says Heicher: "It's no animal that we know of." In August, two hikers forced by a storm to camp in high wilderness north of Crested Butte emerged with quite a tale. They said they had been shadowed for two nights by at least one Bigfoot that peered into their camp and approached their tent. On Sept. 22, a team of researchers found a huge body imprint in a mud wallow in the Cascade Range of western Washington state. Several researchers, including a physical anthropologist at Idaho State University who examined a plaster cast of the Cascades imprint, said the impression - of a hairy forearm, thigh, buttock and heel - was not made by any creature known to science. Of course, claims of encounters with an elusive, hairy giant have been the stuff of legend for more than a century. Could such a creature exist? An eclectic assortment of scientists and academics is testing the proposition that Bigfoot isn't a myth but an ice age survivor that has managed to persist just outside the vision of Western science. Drawing on each other's disciplines, these researchers are sharing information and applying sophisticated forensic techniques as never before. Many experts want conclusive evidence Still, their work is greeted with skepticism - if not outright hostility. For most biologists and anthropologists, no evidence short of a carcass or bones will suffice. "Most people in my field would need the beyond - the - shadow -of-adoubt kind" of proof, said Walter Hartwig, an anthropology professor who is editing a book on primate fossils for Cambridge University Press and who studies extinct South American monkeys. "They want to see the body. I'm confident enough that it's not going to happen. We're not naming new mammals in North America, and that's because we've exterminated most of them." Michael Shermer, publisher of the magazine Skeptic, is even harsher. "If you believe in Bigfoot, you most likely believe in the Loch Ness monster, the lost continent of Atlantis, whatever." Despite such views, a few investigators are expanding their efforts in the wake of new discoveries, using scent, sound and food baits, thermal imagers and remote camera stations to gather more convincing evidence. Last year, they received support from an unexpected source: a Texas police fingerprint expert who has worked on more than 300 cases for the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency. He says he has no doubt that at least some alleged Bigfoot footprints were left by a large primate unknown to science. "Being a crime-scene examiner, I have to be very careful about getting the facts right," said Jimmy Chilcutt, a Conroe, Texas, police forensics investigator. "But I knew after examining the prints that there's a real animal out there. The skin pattern is unique and consistent with itself. There's no doubt in my mind." One of the few academic Bigfoot researchers is physical anthropologist Jeff Meldrum, an Idaho State University professor who has examined hundreds of claimed footprints from Bigfoot, also called Sasquatch in the Northwest. Many he has rejected as hoaxes, others as misidentifications. But more than 100, he said, represent the trace of an unknown animal with a big, flat foot and five toes. Meldrum's lab in Pocatello is crammed with typical academic paraphernalia. Posters of evolutionary trees festoon the walls, rubber models of ape feet and hands sit in a cabinet. Bulging bookshelves, charts and cabinets sit full of papers relating to his main area of study - how our stiff, stub-toed running foot evolved from the flexible, grasping ape foot of our distant ancestors. Long study convinces researcher of possibilities Rather than simply an enlarged human foot, Meldrum said, the Sasquatch foot displays a unique combination of recognizably different anatomic features to solve the problem of two-footed locomotion. The result is a proportionally wider, flatter appendage with long, flexible toes and a spring-loaded, ape-like hinge in place of our stiff arch. "This animal's little toe is about the same length as my little finger," he said, holding his hand up against the side of one of his casts. "This toe probably has the same grasping ability as my finger, too." So far, Meldrum's theories have failed to gain even a toehold of acceptance with the anthropological establishment, which regards talk of Bigfoot as heresy. A reporter's question about Bigfoot so upset one prominent academic that he sputtered into a rage and quickly ended the conversation. Others politely decline interview requests. But a few of Meldrum's peers admire his work and his pluck. Forensic anthropologist George W. Gill, a professor at the University of Wyoming, studied the Bigfoot phenomenon in the 1970s. A former director of the American Board of Forensic Anthropologists, Gill said the argument is simple: Either the most sophisticated hoax in the history of anthropology has gone undiscovered for centuries, or the big ape exists. Another is Hartwig, who vouches for Meldrum's "rigorous" methods even as he questions his conclusions. "Jeff has executed the model approach," said Hartwig, who is editing a book on human evolution to which Meldrum is contributing a chapter. "He's weeded out what he believes might be hoaxes or misidentifications. And for the ones he can't exclude, he's devised a theory for what those footprints represent. In a sense, it's beautiful and well-controlled, inductive science. You may think it's far out, but methodologically speaking, he has toed the line very strictly. And he's bold enough not to allow any outside pressure to direct his science." What Meldrum and other researchers, professional and amateur, suggest is bold by any standard. They believe a few thousand of these powerful and intelligent creatures live widely dispersed in mountainous forest from the Pacif ic Coast to the Colorado Rockies and beyond. They believe the big apes are opportunistic omnivores, eating roots and berries when available, preying on deer and elk whenever possible. And they think Bigfoot are curious apes, often sneaking into the camps of people who have intruded in their territory, even stealing camp food when they can. So where's the body? Bigfoot advocates say the main reason no one's found a body is that a dead animal decomposes quickly and completely. The carcass of a rare animal with no known predators would be almost impossible to find. By way of example, Colorado Division of Wildlife bear biologist Tom Beck says he's never found the remains of a bear that died a natural death. Most anthropologists argue no Bigfoot corpse has ever been found because the animal doesn't exist. Convincing his peers to look at his collection of more than 100 footprints, knuckle prints and other trace evidence has been "without question the biggest obstacle," Meldrum said. "If someone takes the time to visit the lab, they are almost uniformly overwhelmed by the amount of data. Usually, they have no concept of the amount of evidence that's been collected." Gill, the Wyoming professor, chides his colleagues for not taking a close look at research like Meldrum's. "Even if there's only a remote chance this animal is alive today, to think that anthropology is basically blowing off this stuff is disheartening." Ron Westrum, a sociologist at Eastern Michigan State University, has studied how scientists have historically grappled with anomalies, or observations that are "contrary to law." "Scientists who make these observations learn to shut up because other scientists will punish them," said Westrum. "These are really taboo topics in science, which is a reputational business. Your reputation is your career." For those reasons, Westrum thinks Meldrum's footprint research, the alleged Sasquatch body imprint and any other evidence will continue to be ignored. "Scientists don't see this as a problem," he said. "As far as they're concerned, the evidence has never been recorded." Said Meldrum: "But the bottom line is, these casts are taking up drawer space. These are points of datum. You can't simply sweep them under the rug. Well, you can, but you end up with a pretty lumpy rug." In addition to Meldrum's footprint research, Henner Fahrenbach, a primate researcher at a private lab in Oregon, has identified a dozen hair samples, collected from four Western states, that he believes came from an unknown primate. Fahrenbach identified a fragment of similar hair that was plucked from the so-called Skookum Cast, a cast of the body imprint found in September. Others have recorded incredibly loud, bellowing vocalizations from an undescribed animal, calls which when broadcast at night near reported Bigfoot sightings have produced identical replies. And then there are sighting reports - literally thousands of them - made by foresters, biologists and geologists, as well as campers, hikers and motorists. All tell of a remarkably large, hairy ape that covers rough ground with a strange, fluid motion not unlike a cross-country skier. What's significant, said Meldrum, is that the evidence attributed to Sasquatch is consistent with what people report. "The long and short of it is, there's a beautiful orchestration between what I'm seeing in my footprint analysis and all of the anecdotal reports of its gait: the forward lean, deeply bent knees," he said. "It's all a strategy for supporting a heavier, bulkier biped. And it's a very elegant adaptation, I think, in the context of its very broken and rugged habitat." Film most famous anecdotal evidence In 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, two Bigfoot enthusiasts, filmed what Meldrum and others believe is a female Sasquatch, complete with hairy breasts, striding away across a loamy streambed on Bluff Creek in Northern California. While some have since claimed that the film is a hoax, longtime Hollywood special-effects creator Bill Munns said it would have been impossible in 1967 to fake a creature suit like the one depicted in the film. "With today's technology, yes, you could fake a fur suit like that," said Munns, who did just that when he built a life-size model of the giant fossil ape Gigantopithecus blacki - a possible evolutionary link to Sasquatch - for University of Iowa anthropologist Russell Ciochon. "But in the 1960s, short, dense stretch fur was nonexistent." Meldrum thinks that, at a minimum, fossils of Gigantopithecus show that evolution could have produced a Sasquatch-size ape that lived in temperate forests. "It's tempting to draw the line between the two, but so little is known about either," Meldrum said. If Giganto still exists, then it has been a successful line. Fossils of the creature were discovered in cave sediments dated to a million years. The last fossils date to 300,000 to 400,000 years ago, a time when Homo erectus still populated Asia. Ciochon, who has studied Gigantopithecus sites, rejects the link between Gigantopithecus and Sasquatch. He believes Gigantopithecus was a slow, sedentary knuckle-walker like the gorilla, not a wide-ranging omnivore like the bear. Ciochon believes Giganto went extinct because of climate change, bamboo die-offs, and perhaps human hunting. Ciochon declined to be interviewed for this story. For Meldrum, the PattersonGimlin film is doubly significant because several frames provide the only existing images of his study object, the creature's foot. A plaster cast of tracks left by the creature shows an apelike, midfoot hinge that he says is a defining characteristic of the Sasquatch foot. Lyle Laverty, until recently the top Forest Service official in the Rocky Mountain region, started his career as a timber manager in northern California during the late 1950s and 1960s. He investigated the Patterson-Gimlin sighting the day after the film was shot and photographed several footprints left by the animal. Laverty says the film site was so close to a logging road that he still worries the film might somehow have been faked. Laverty But Laverty refused to rule out the possibility that Bigfoot exists. Starting in 1958, his logging crews reported finding hundreds of gigantic footprints around their new logging sites. Whatever left the prints was powerful enough to tumble logging equipment and toss 450-pound drums of gasoline, he says. "You never want to count it out," said Laverty, who was recently tapped to head the Forest Service's national fire plan, with its $1.2 billion annual budget. "Some of these crews really felt something was up there. And anything that can pick up a 55-gallon drum of fuel is a big dude." Meldrum's skepticism vanished in 1996 when he investigated a freshly laid line of alleged Bigfoot tracks in Washington's Blue Mountains. After analyzing the tracks, he determined the animal that left them had proceeded out of a remote drainage along a soupy farm road, then turned and sprinted for the woods, as if it were fleeing something or someone, Meldrum said. "In order for someone to have faked that, they would have had to walk out of that drainage carrying three or four different sets of feet, which they changed intermittently in mid-stride without any obvious breaks," he said. "It just becomes ludicrous to suggest that." Last year, Meldrum received unexpected support from Chilcutt, the fingerprint and forensics expert who's also one of the world's few authorities on primate skin patterns, or dermatoglyphics. When Chilcutt saw Meldrum on television talking about apparent skin impressions on some plaster casts of alleged Sasquatch footprints, he offered to examine them, expecting to find Meldrum's claims were inaccurate. Chilcutt developed an expertise in primate skin patterns as an offshoot of his ongoing study of the human fingerprint. His archive of more than 1,000 ape-skin impressions - prints he collected from tranquilized orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas - is the largest such collection in the world. When Chilcutt visited Meldrum's lab, it seemed his hunch would turn out to be accurate. He quickly determined that the ridges he found in the first track Meldrum gave him were from a human finger. But when he examined the rest of Meldrum's collection, Chilcutt found two casts with coarse ridge patterns similar to each other but different from humans or known great apes. One cast of a footprint discovered in Washington's Blue Mountains in 1985 astonished him with the distinctive puckered scars of several healed wounds. "When primate skin heals, the ridges curl inward toward the wound," he said. "Someone would have to know a real lot about biology and dermatoglyphics to know that. Anybody that smart wouldn't be messing with fakes." While Chilcutt allows that any single track could be a hoax, he said the skin impressions he has identified in the Blue Mountains track were consistent with those found in a Bluff Creek track from 1967. "We're talking about 18 years and 700 or 800 miles apart," he said. After he spoke about his finding on National Public Radio, a sheriff's deputy sent in a cast of a track he'd found in Georgia in 1977. Same pattern. In mid-November, Chilcutt examined skin impressions from alleged heel impressions from the body imprint discovered in Washington. He said they match the other four examples he's identified. Unlike other Bigfoot researchers who are often the object of professional scorn, no one has stepped forward to contradict Chilcutt. "I'm so well entrenched, my reputation as a latent fingerprint examiner is secure," he said. "So I don't have that problem. Knowing my background and expertise, they accept my findings." Chilcutt said he's encouraged Meldrum to continue his research. "I tell Jeff, "There's no question this animal is out there, so don't give up,'- " Chilcutt said. "I want him to not give up on this. He's on to something." Copyright 2001 The Denver Post. All rights reserved. |

BIGFOOT'S BUTTOCKS? (12/22/2000):

| http://www.king5.com/localnews/storydetail.html?StoryID=7292
First-of-a kind Bigfoot discovery has skeptics taking notice October 2, 2000, 08:30 AM MASON COUNTY – One of the Northwest’s biggest mysteries, the Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, is no longer a legend – it’s alive, according to researchers who have discovered what they say is its imprint. REPORTED BY Eric Wilkinson RESOURCES • The Bigfoot Researchers' Organization Deep in the northwest mountains, a team of 14 researchers tracked the elusive primate-type beast for a week deep in the mountains of the Gifford Pinchot national forest.  The imprint
appears to be a hair-covered body lying down on its side, reaching over to
get some fruit, the researchers said. Thermal imaging confirmed that the body print was only hours old. From the imprint, they created a 250 lb. plaster cast of what they say is the lower half of the Sasquatch. "We actually almost missed it,” said researcher Derek Randels. “It dawned on us all at the same time, and it was overwhelming." "These heel impressions weren't made by a person getting in the mud wallow and squirming around," said Dr. Jeff Meldrum of Idaho State University. The trackers gathered hair samples that will be analyzed by DNA testing. They also made voice recordings of what they think is the Sasquatch wailing, also being sent off for analysis. The creature is believed to be 7 to 8 feet tall, weighing 800 to 1,000 lbs. The researchers believe there are hundreds just like it throughout forests in the Northwest. There are a lot of sightings, they added, but estimate that more than 90 percent of sightings go unreported for fear of ridicule. “This cast is very hard to argue with,” said Randels. “We have had a lot of very intelligent people looking at it in the last two days and I think it’s just going to be a heck of a shot in the arm for the credibility of the creature’s existence.” |
| Subj: [SO] Sasquatches? Sea serpents? They're here in Kansas Date: 12/21/2000 From: SHnSASSY1@aol.com http://web.wichitaeagle.com/content/wichitaeagle/2000/12/18/kansas/bigfoot1218_txt.htm Sasquatches? Sea serpents? They're here in Kansas By Beccy Tanner The Wichita Eagle In 1869, Crawford County residents spotted a gorillalike wild man. And in 1886, a newspaper reported that a hair-covered "wild family" had been captured by a search party in Washington County. Bigfoot in Kansas? Well, maybe. Through research, a Kansas author has discovered that in nearly every decade in every Kansas county, there is a story of weird, bigfoot-type creatures, or Sasquatches, as they are sometimes called. Consider these Kansas reports: In 1978, the chief of police for Chetopa, in Labette County, reported finding 2 1/2 miles of animallike tracks with footprints measuring 17 inches long and 55/8 inches wide. And in 1984, a Sedgwick County woman and her daughter reported being followed by a large animal as they walked along a dark, country lane. Topeka resident Lisa Hefner Heitz, author of the 1997 book "Haunted Kansas," is working on a book of strange and unusual sightings in Kansas. "It seemed like a natural progression from ghosts," Heitz said. "As I was collecting all those stories, people also started telling me stories of other creatures, UFOs and even sightings of a sea serpent in a sinkhole by Inman." "Just as I am a ghost agnostic," Heitz said, "I am a bigfoot agnostic. I can't tell you why these stories exist. I don't know what these people are seeing. But there is a sort of eternal fascination about the mysterious creatures that reside in dark areas. Things that normally exist in our imagination, when they show up in reality, are not only frightening but fascinating. These types of hairy humanoids are reported all over the world." Could it be that Sasquatch is in Kansas? Go back to an Aug. 15, 1869, article in the St. Louis Democrat. The newspaper reported that nearly every resident of Crawford County had seen a beast nicknamed "Old Sheff." "Several times it has approached the cabins of the settlers, much to the terror of the women and children.... It has a stooping gait, very long arms with immense hands or claws; generally walks on its hind legs but sometimes on all fours." In October 1978, The Wichita Eagle reported that an 8-foot-tall, bigfootlike creature was seen twice in three weeks roaming by the Kansas Turnpike near Lawrence. Heitz said her collection of Kansas stories won't be limited to bigfoot tales. For instance, in the 1950s residents near Inman developed a fascination for "Sinkhole Sam," a rather large snakelike creature that inhabited a local sinkhole. "Folks speculated that Sam could have been living in an underground cavern and, when the sinkhole filled with water, crawled up and made his home in the big sink," Heitz said. "They said he looked like a big snake or eel and was reported to be 15 feet long and 21 inches in circumference." Heitz has already collected more than 350 stories for the book, and she is looking for more Kansas legends and strange creature stories to research. "This is part of our folkloric traditions," she said. "And besides, these stories fascinate people.You don't have to be a believer to be fascinated."

By Samantha Martin-Evans From the December 18, 2000 issue Who knows what our vast forests are bearing silent witness to at this very moment? Bigfoot could be out there swinging from the treetops, and we would never know it. Until now. If Thom Powell and the other curators of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization have their way, Bigfoot's days of stealth are numbered. Mr. Powell is head of the BFRO's Wireless Wilderness Project, which seeks to install wireless Webcams and microphones in areas where Bigfoot sightings have been reported. The BFRO's team of researchers is trying to attract sponsors to finance an arsenal of strategically placed Webcams that would allow the public to tune in to remote locations, 24 hours a day, by PC. Mr. Powell and his associates are not asking people to believe. "We're just asking [them] to contribute to the pursuit of better evidence," he says. Mr. Powell says images captured by motion-triggered digital video cameras would lend the project the credibility it sorely needs. "The impact that such evidence would have on cryptozoölogy would help sway certain scientific parties," says Mr. Powell. "[Bigfoot researchers] are tired of being the point men on the 'does it exist?' debate." They just long to solve what the BFRO says is one of the most important scientific questions of our time. Maybe the Webcams will help these mocked researchers get some respect. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES Link towireless wilderness project.

| 12' Tall Bigfoot Seen By Four Workers And Officer In Maryland From Kenny Young 'Mysterious Creature Spotted In Maryland From WMAR Channel 2. Baltimore Maryland newscast http://www.insidebaltimore.com/news/maryland/index.shtml 8-2-00 HANOVER -- Move over, Pacific Northwest. Maryland now has its own version of the legendary Bigfoot. Construction workers fled the Arundel Mills mall construction site early Tuesday morning after they reportedly spotted a 12-foot-tall creature that left abnormally large footprints. The sighting has peaked the interest of state officials, residents and even the television show ``Unsolved Mysteries.'' Three workers say they were sleeping in their van when they were awakened by a towering animal running on two legs, Anne Arundel Police Sgt. Joseph E. Jordan said. They retreated to a nearby restaurant and called police, who sent an off-duty officer to investigate. Officer Nicholas DiPietro persuaded the workers to return to the site, where they discovered a 15- to 20-inch-long footprint, Jordan said. But when they caught another glimpse of the creature, the workers again ran away. DiPietro said he later spotted a large animal on a hill. The officer said he blew an air horn, but the creature sat motionless and silent, glaring at the officer for nearly a minute. It then ambled down the hill and disappeared. Department of Natural Resources searches have turned up no sign of the creature. DNR spokeswoman Susan O'Brien said it may have been a bear, which would have been about 5 feet tall and 300 pounds. She said poor lighting and the workers' fear may have made the animal seem larger to them. The unusually large footprint could have been made by an animal that slipped in the mud, O'Brien said. County ExecutiveJanet S. Owens expressed concern that the sighting may slow the mall's construction. It is scheduled to open November 16. 2000 Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press.

The report of the "strange sighting" was checked by police early Monday morning and quickly became a joke about the sighting of an imaginary Loch Ness Monster from the Severn River. State wildlife officials were called in to search the area yesterday, where the large, unidentified beast that walked upright had scared several construction workers. The workers said they were awakened just past midnight Monday while napping in a van at the mall site in Hanover. Yesterday, reporters from television shows questioned police and Department of Natural Resources officials as they gathered in the area. County workers laughed about the tourism possibilities for the county's sasquatch. But County Executive Janet S. Owens' spokesman remained serious, expressing Owens' concern that Arundel Mills mall open Nov. 16. 2000 The frightened workers said the "thing" ran past them so fast they weren't sure what it was. After fleeing to a nearby fast-food restaurant, they called police, who dispatched an off-duty officer working security at the site. He had trouble persuading the men to return to where they say they first spotted the animal. Later, when the officer and the workers caught another glimpse of the creature, the workers ran away again. Hours later, the officer spotted a large animal in the dark with his floodlight , but it was unclear whether it was the same beast spotted earlier by the workers. DNR sent a regional wildlife biologist to the construction site, but the search for the animal or its prints came up empty, said Susan O'Brien, a department spokeswoman. "It was most likely the bear spotted on [Route] 295 not two or three miles from that site," O'Brien said. The female bear, which had been with a small cub killed by a car on the road, would have weighed at most about 300 pounds and would be about 5 feet tall if it stood upright, she said. She said the animal might have looked much larger - distorted by the witnesses' fear and horror and by poor lighting. That is, if the bear was the same animal that terrified the construction workers. The officer reported finding a 15- to 20-inch-long print and seeing a large animal near a pond on the construction site about 3 a.m. Although the print would have been too large to be from a bear - even a large one - O'Brien said it was possible that the animal had slid in the dirt, creating an elongated print. Bears have been sighted by residents in the Baltimore area recently, she said. If confronted by a bear, residents should make their presence known by standing straight, talking and then backing away slowly in a nonconfrontational manner, said O'Brien.

*Big hopes riding on Bigfoot exhibit MICHELLE LOCKE, Associated Press Writer Thursday, June 15, 2000 Breaking News Sections (06-15) 17:30 PDT WILLOW CREEK, Calif. (AP) -- Some people believe in Bigfoot. Most don't. Some aren't sure what might be tramping around California's backcountry. Margaret Wooden is skeptical, but she knows one thing: Bigfoot could be good for business. ``He's quite a drawing card,'' says Wooden, who helped organize the Willow Creek-China Flat Museum's new ``Bigfoot Wing.'' The idea: put some local history on display and see if this struggling ex-lumber town can jump-start its economy with a big hand from Bigfoot. ``It was a natural,'' says Jo Ann Hereford, another in the squadron of volunteers who keep the museum going. Bigfoot goes back a long way in Willow Creek, an old Gold Rush town about 300 miles north of San Francisco. Tracks were reported in 1958 at Bluff Creek, a remote spot about 50 miles north. Newspapers quickly took up the story. ``Huge Foot Prints Hold Mystery of Friendly Bluff Creek Giant,'' reads one headline preserved in the Willow Creek exhibit. Seventy-six-year-old Al Hodgson remembers it well. He was running a general store in Willow Creek when a reporter for a local paper talked him into giving her a ride up to remote Bluff Creek. Soon, he was making regular trips into the woods, Plaster of Paris at the ready. Hodgson never found Bigfoot, although he did make casts of some prints. But he was there the night in 1967 that Bigfoot hunter Roger Patterson came into town saying he'd just captured his elusive quarry on film, the much-debated grainy footage that shows a shaggy ape-like creature walking. ``I really personally think he absolutely did see Bigfoot,'' says Hodgson, recounting the story, country fashion, in a laid-back drawl. ``I've had my doubts at times but I just don't see anything else really. I just don't think he faked it.'' The scientific community hasn't exactly embraced the concept of Bigfoot. But that hasn't quenched amateur enthusiasm. Sightings have been reported all over, although the Pacific Northwest is a favorite. This July, explorer J. Richard Greenwell will lead his fourth annual Bigfoot expedition into the forests of Northern California. Greenwell is a research associate with the International Wildlife Museum and secretary of the Tucson-based International Society of Cryptozoology, a society dedicated to the scientific evaluation of evidence for ``unverified animals.'' His first and third trips turned up some strange prints, weird howls and mysterious nighttime visitors who sneaked food; the second year's outing was a month of ``absolutely nothing.'' ``A lot of scientists think the thing cannot exist, it's impossible so why waste time even testing the hypothesis. ``In real science ... you start off with, 'Let's examine the evidence.''' Greenwell says. ``If you start off by saying it's impossible, then what you're doing is you're taking the short-cut.'' Greenwell thinks the Willow Creek exhibit is ``fairly well done. It's not like the Smithsonian, of course, but for the resources they had I think they put a lot of thought into it.'' The bulk of the memorabilia was willed to the museum by Bigfoot enthusiast Bob Titmus, on condition it be put in a worthy setting. Town boosters, looking for something to replace the dwindling logging industry, went to work, getting $9,000 in federal grants, stirring up chili cook-offs and putting sweat equity into a new, two-story addition. The main part of the Willow Creek-China Flat (the latter is the town's original name) Museum consists of a lovingly tended collection of regional artifacts -- from antique baby booties to gold mining mementos. The Bigfoot room is dominated by casts of -- you guessed it -- big feet along with the stories and pictures of the people who found them. There's also a fun case filled with Bigfoot toys and books. The exhibit, which is free although donations are accepted, is attracting ``all kinds,'' says Hodgson, who serves as one of the volunteer guides. ``Some of them are really the person who takes it up on the weekend and there are people that are really sincere, down to looking for anything they can find.'' Drive into Willow Creek and it's not hard to tell you're in Bigfoot country. You can snack on a Bigfoot burger and play a round or two at the Bigfoot Golf & Country Club. You can even take a spin on the Bigfoot Byway, a scenic stretch of road that ends in Willow Creek. Looming large in front of the museum is a two-story high statute of the local legend, sculpted by chain saw from a fallen redwood. Sometimes Hodgson gets a little good-natured chaffing about his conviction that the statue's real-life counterpart is out there somewhere. ``I tell Al, 'Well, I am from Missouri,''' -- the ``show-me state'' -- says Wooden with a smile. Others aren't so sure. ``My position is there's something -- there had to be something,'' says E.B. Duggan, who with wife, Dallas, is a staunch museum supporter. ``People that I really believe in have done the collecting of the evidence. I have to believe that there's something out there. What it is I'm not really sure, but I know it sure as heck isn't no bear.'' Eds: The Willow Creek-China Flat Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday-Sunday and holidays through the first week of October. |
| July 9, 2000 TIM LaBARGE /Statesman Journal BELIEVER: Salem native Matthew Johnson was hiking July 1 at Oregon Caves National Monument with his wife, Rochelle, and children Hannah, 7, Micah, 4, and Levi, 9, when he saw what he reported to be Bigfoot. Johnson hopes his discussion will give legitimacy to other sightings. Hiker fights Bigfoot denial The Oregon psychologist stands by his report that he saw the huge creature. ALAN GUSTAFSON, Statesman Journal Matthew Johnson confirms what Bigfoot believers have long said about the legendary beast: It stinks. “It was musky and rotten,” Johnson said. “It was putrid.” Besides having terrible body odor, Bigfoot is very large, hairy and frightening, according to his account. How large? “I’m 6-foot-9. I’m 280 pounds. Size 16 feet,” Johnson said. “This thing made me look small.” Johnson, a 38-year-old clinical psychologist who lives in Grants Pass, rattles off Bigfoot’s characteristics with an air of certainty. As he tells it, he recently got close enough to smell, hear and see the Pacific Northwest’s fabled apelike creature, also known as Sasquatch. Johnson, a former Salem resident, said the close encounter occurred July 1 while he was hiking with his family near the Oregon Caves National Monument. Since then, he’s described the incident to dozens of newspaper and television reporters. Though stung by lighthearted treatment of his story by certain television stations, Johnson said Friday that he’s not backing down. In fact, he talks about waging a campaign to counter “the ongoing denial in our society that Bigfoot exists.” “I’m a shrink. I’m not looney tunes,” he said. “I do parenting workshops, mental health workshops. I love public education. It’s a passion of mine. Now, we’ve had this encounter, so how can I not make this an issue of public education? To me, it’s not a risk if I tell the truth, and I am telling the truth. I saw Bigfoot.” There is no official confirmation of his story. Rangers who responded to Johnson’s reported Bigfoot sighting found nothing unusual when they checked the area, monument Superintendent Craig Akerman said. “I have spoken with Dr. Johnson, and he seems to be a very credible person, but that’s the only assessment I can make,” Akerman said. “I cannot either confirm or refute his story because I was not there.” Johnson said his brush with Bigfoot happened after he toured the Oregon Caves with his wife, Rochelle, and their three children, ages 9, 7 and 4. The family was hiking on one of the monument’s backwoods trails when they began to hear strange, guttural sounds in the distance. “I was a resident of Alaska for 20 years,” Johnson said. “We’ve done a lot of outdoor activities. Hiking, camping, fishing, hunting. I’ve come across grizzly bear, black bear, moose, caribou. I’ve never heard anything like that.” Family members kept hearing the same pattern of sounds — “whuh, whuh, whuh, whuh” — as they continued along the trail for about 10 minutes, Johnson said. He then hiked a short distance by himself and went behind some trees to relieve himself. Johnson said he was squatting in the woods when he spotted the creature standing upright about 60 feet away. “I turned my head quickly, and I saw this very tall, dark, hairy animal walk from behind one tree and over to another tree,” he said. The creature was watching his wife and children, Johnson said. Terrified, he ran back to his family and hustled them away from the area. “I didn’t immediately tell them what I saw,” Johnson said. “I didn’t want to freak my kids out. I didn’t want to freak my wife out.” When the family stopped along the trail for a water break, Johnson confided in his wife. “I said, ‘You’re not going to believe this, but I saw Bigfoot.’ She said, ‘I believe you.’” Bigfoot researchers, accompanied by a park ranger, later retraced the family’s path along the monument’s Big Tree Trail. Johnson said they found a large “impression in the ground.” He termed it a partial footprint. But Akerman said the finding proved nothing. “I wouldn’t call it a footprint, simply a disturbance in the soil,” Akerman said. “The woods are full of disturbances. They can be caused by other hikers. They can be caused by rolling rocks. They can be caused by a tree branch falling. Or it can be caused by a large animal. I would be going out on a limb to speculate unless we had an identifiable track, which we did not have.” Johnson said he was not discouraged by the analysis given by the monument’s top official. “The park is understandably saying the evidence is inconclusive,” he said. “But I know what the heck I saw. I also know that that footprint makes my size 16 shoe look pretty small.” Since going public, Johnson said he’s been contacted by other people who tell of their own Bigfoot sightings. He wants to compile those stories into a book that will feature his own experience. Meanwhile, Johnson has more interviews scheduled on radio and television. He’s far from weary of recounting his tale. “No, no, no, I’m not tired of telling the story,” he said. “In fact, I’m compelled to tell the story.” |
| BIGFOOT ON THE PROWL IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA On Friday, June 9, 2000, at approximately 7 a.m., the female witness was driving to work on Route 30 between Jeannette, Pa. (population 11,300) and Greensburg, Pa. (population 16,400) four miles (6 kilometers) to the southeast, when she spotted a Bigfoot. "The lady had left her home earlier that morning and was enroute to her job. She had slowed down to look at a car that was for sale and was looking towards the right side." "Seconds later, her attention was drawn to a large dark manlike creature which was standing on a back road surrounded by woods." "While the observation lasted only 15 to 20 seconds, the witness saw the creature cross the road and enter into a nearby wooded area. The woman estimated that the creature stood about 6 to 7 feet (2 meters) tall and weighed approximately 300 to 400 pounds. The witness states that she slammed on her brakes as soon as she saw the creature, but it could no longer be seen." When the witness (first) noticed the creature, it was approximately 300 feet away. It was standing sideways in a 'hunched' position on the back road. As the witness watched, the creature turned its head and looked towards the highway, then took two or three long strides into the thick woods where it was lost from sight. The woman stated that the creature was covered with long back hair. While no facial features could be determined, the head seemed somewhat oval in shape, and their was very little neck apparent." Greensburg is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) southest of Pittsburgh. (Many thanks to Stan Gordon and Eric Altman, director of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society for this report.) |
| Monday May 1, 2000 SOURCE: International Society of Cryptozoology Society of Cryptozoology Scientists to Search for Sasquatch Evidence TUCSON, Ariz., /PRNewswire/ -- A team of scientific investigators are preparing to spend a month in a remote wilderness area of the U.S. Pacific Northwest in an attempt to obtain evidence for the Sasquatch or Bigfoot, a supposed 7-8 foot-tall, bipedal primate. The four-person team, headed by J. Richard Greenwell, secretary of the International Society of Cryptozoology, based in Tucson, Arizona, will be completely cut off from civilization as it uses special attractants to entice one or more of the supposed primates to its camp. Previous expeditions sponsored by the Society have produced track and ``bed'' finds, and loud, unidentified vocalizations. Cryptozoology is the scientific evaluation of evidence for unverified animals, the Sasquatch being the most famous in North America. The term ``Sasquatch'' derives from an American Indian name, while ``Bigfoot'' originated with 1950's California press accounts. The Sasquatch is dismissed by most scientists as mere folkloric creations or purposeful fabrications, although over 1,500 eyewitness reports and two films of the supposed primate now exist. The new field project will include a wide array of electronic equipment, including thermal and seismic detectors, night-vision binoculars, state-of-the-art photographic and video night-cameras, and a powerful broadcast system for propagating gorilla calls down canyon walls into deep drainage systems. ``We're not claiming the Sasquatch exists,'' states Greenwell, a mammalogist with the International Wildlife Museum in Tucson. ``What we are saying is that zoology has a duty to deal with these kinds of unresolved issues. Although difficult, this particular problem can be resolved, given enough resources. Simply ignoring the mounting evidence for 40 years is really not consistent with either the spirit of scientific inquiry or the principles of scientific methodology.'' The ultimate purpose of the project is to film the supposed primates. ``We recognize,'' adds Greenwell, ``that film footage in itself will never really constitute proof. What we are hoping for is that other scientists, and funding agencies, will be swayed sufficiently by any new evidence to support further investigation. That, in turn, could lead to the ultimate proving that such a primate exists.'' Technical preparations and fundraising for a late-July departure are currently underway. CONTACT: J.

*Bigfoot Believed Living in China Yearlong trek yields traces of what some say is undiscovered species Yuan Zhenxin, a paleoanthropologist, is convinced that Bigfoot exists in central China and says that these plaster casts of foot prints prove it. By Los Angeles Times BEIJING -- Yuan Zhenxin keeps up his search for Bigfoot. Yuan is convinced that between 1,000 and 2,000 of the apelike creatures roam the forests of central China, particularly the Shennongjia Nature Reserve in Hubei province. Yuan dabbles in stories of abduction, including those of two farmers who say they were kidnapped by Bigfoot but escaped to tell the tale. Another person claimed to have spent two hours in conversation with the creature, who reportedly gesticulated and mimicked bird sounds. "They're very clever," said Yuan, a retired paleoanthropologist and member of the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yuan describes Bigfoot as more than 6 1/2 feet tall, with reddish brown hair, long limbs and a rather nasty case of body odor. In 1976-77, the government sponsored a Bigfoot expedition to Shennongjia consisting of 100 people, including army personnel. That trip and others yielded numerous samples of what Yuan maintains are the hair, footprints and feces of an undiscovered species, possibly descended from a giant ape whose fossilized teeth can still be found in the region. "They're a cousin of humans," he said of Bigfoot, known in Chinese as "wild man." But money for such study has dwindled, because fewer and fewer of Yuan's fellow scientists are willing to approve funding without more conclusive proof. Yuan and his supporters have been forced to dig into their own pockets to keep three informal research centers operating. One of Yuan's colleagues even divorced his wife, sold his home and moved permanently to Shennongjia to carry on the work. |

News Wisconsin Milwaukee Waukesha Wisconsin a new home for Bigfoot? Deliveryman says he saw huge, hairy beast carrying a goat in Clark County By Keith Edwards Special to the Journal Sentinel Last Updated: April 4, 2000 Granton - James Hughes was minding his own business, delivering the Black River Shopper last week when he says he saw something he'll never forget - an 8-foot-tall, two-legged, shaggy creature carrying a goat. Sasquatch? Bigfoot? Yeti? Abominable Snowman? Or justa really tall hairy guy carrying breakfast? Hughes isn't sure, and authorities are scratching their heads over the reported sighting. "He was all covered with hair, a real dark gray color, with some spots that looked a honey color. It was walking on two legs, and it was mighty, mighty, big," Hughes said in a phone interview Tuesday. "You better believe I was scared. That creature could have tipped that car upside down and thrown it in the ditch. It was that big." Hughes filed a report with the Clark County Sheriff's Department, and a deputy was dispatched to the scene but couldn't find any big footprints, said Capt. Mark Cattanach. "We have no goats reported missing, or any other types of small animals that may meet that description," Cattanach said Tuesday. "I'm not sure what we could do. I don't know that there's ever been any indication, at least that I've been told, that there's any danger to the public." Hughes, 57, was on his newspaper delivery route around 5:15 a.m. March 28 when he said he saw the creature at the side of the road, on County Highway H about 1 1/2 miles from his rural Granton home. At first, he thought it was a man, but as he got closer he said he realized it didn't look human - about 8 feet tall, 500 pounds and hairy with an ape-like face. After getting a closer look at the creature, which he said appeared to be carrying a goat or small sheep in its hand, Hughes said he floored his gas pedal and quickly drove away. "I didn't call it in (to the Sheriff's Department) until the next day, because people would think I'm crazy. And I don't drink, I don't use dope, and I was wide awake," Hughes said. Cattanach said Hughes gave a very detailed description, but without tracks or other evidence suggesting a creature was in the area, there's not much the Sheriff's Department can do. He also said the reported Bigfoot sighting is the talk of the community. "There's been a fair amount of joking around with this," said Cattanach.

*A Sasquatch alert in the Hoh Rain Forest Saturday, July 1, 2000 THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS PORT ANGELES -- Gene Sampson doesn't know what's been lurking in the
woods behind his home on the Hoh Indian Reservation. But he knows what he's
seen -- he describes them as giant footprints -- and what he's heard: "Bam,
bam, bam, stop, bam, bam, bam, stop, bam, bam, bam," Sampson said this week.
His tales have residents on the reservation, near the Hoh Rain Forest on
the Pacific Coast, locking their doors, shutting their blinds and closing their windows. Sampson said some Hoh natives believe the invader is the elusive Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, the large, hairy creature that has been reported around the world but it is most closely identified with the Pacific Northwest. Sampson says he found two sets of footprints, which he measured at 14 inches and 17-1/2 inches in length, and 7 and 8 inches in width. He also says he found trampled trails. The Bureau of Indian Affairs investigated and is skeptical. "I saw some big indentations that looked like footprints, but they were not that recognizable," said the bureau's Scott Small. "There is something big going through their yards, but it's most likely a bear." Grover Krantz, a retired Washington State University anthropology professor and author of a book called "Big Footprints," said he believes the evidence on the Hoh reservation indicates one male and one female Sasquatch. Richard Greenwell of the International Society for Cryptozoology calls evidence of such creatures inconclusive. "On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I absolutely believe in Bigfoot, after I evaluate all the data and read all the information," Greenwell said. "On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, I think it's all nonsense. "On Sundays, I rest." © 2000 The Associated Press. All rights reserved |
| Sunday, January 2, 2000 Village abuzz over sighting of 'mawas' By Hah Foong Lian JELEBU: A day into the new millennium, villagers of Kampung Chennah, 28km from here, don't seem to be too enthusiastic about the happenings around the world. They are engrossed instead in talking about a recent claim of a sighting of the elusive mawas (a big ape-like animal). The town is abuzz with the news that the local "Bigfoot" was sighted by villager Liong Chong Shen, who claims that he saw a couple of mawas when he was at his rubber small- holding and durian orchard a week ago. STRANGE ENCOUNTER...Liong relating to a reporter his `encounter' with the two `mawas' at his durian orchard in Kampung Chennah a week ago. Kampung Chennah is a small and remote town of 30 households where most of the villagers are smallholders. Liong, 50, claimed that the incident occurred about noon when he was working in the orchard. "Wild boars had been attacking my durian saplings in the orchard, located about 11km from Kampung Chennah. I went there to chase them away," he said yesterday. Liong said he was busy with the durian saplings when he suddenly sensed a strong animal scent. "I then heard a grunt near the young rubber trees. "My heart started pounding fast when I saw two mawas standing near the rubber trees as I feared they would attack me," he said. "I was about 10m away from the two mawas and I had a clear view of them," he added. Liong said one was about 1.83m tall with long, black and shiny hair all over its body, including the face. The other was shorter, about 1.52m tall with long and brownish hair all over its body. He said the two just stared at him and later walked away into the jungle.

Thursday, December 16, 1999
China's COMMITTEE FOR RESEARCH INTO STRANGE AND RARE ANIMALS is preparing to launch a high-tech search for China's version of "Big Foot." Residents in Hubei Province have reported 114 sightings and collected hair and footprints from the Chinese Big Foot during the past 40 years. China's Big Foot has also been popularized by "The Wild Man From China," a documentary shown on American Public Television. While earlier searches this summer by the COMMITTEE FOR RESEARCH INTO STRANGE AND RARE ANIMALS turned up nothing, now they plan to launch balloons equipped with infrared-sensing instruments 2,000 feet above the forest. Wang Fangchen, the leader of China's search team told reporters, "Any activities conducted by large-bodied mammals would be recorded by the apparatus." Source: Earthweek, August 18, 1995 --DS

 Honey
Island Swamp Monster cast of footprint.
"The Honey Island
Swamp Monster" which has been reported to have been seen in the Southeast
swamp The outside world learned about Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp Monster in 1974 when two hunters emerged from a remote area of backwater sloughs with plaster casts of "unusual tracks." The men claimed they discovered the footprints near a wild boar that lay with its throat gashed. They also stated that over a decade earlier, in 1963, they had seen similar tracks after encountering an awesome creature. They described it as standing seven feet tall, being covered with grayish hair, and having large amber-colored eyes. However, the monster had promptly run away and an afternoon rainstorm had obliterated its tracks, the men said. The hunters were Harlan E. Ford and his friend Billy Mills, both of whom worked as air-traffic controllers. Ford told his story on an episode of the 1970s television series In Search of . . . . According to his granddaughter, Dana Holyfield (1999a, 11): Harlan Ford continued to search for the monster until his death in 1980. Dana recalls how he once took a goat into the swamp to use as bait, hoping to lure the creature to a tree blind where Ford waited-uneventfully, as it happened-with gun and camera. He did supposedly find several, different-sized tracks on one hunting trip. He also claimed to have seen the monster on one other occasion, during a fishing trip with Mills and some of their friends from work. One of the men reportedly then went searching for the creature with a rifle and fired two shots at it before returning to tell his story to the others around the campfire (Holyfield 1999a, 10-15).
The most famous of the
Southern Big Foot Creatures is the "Fouke Monster", aka "Boggy Creek
Monster". This creature has been reported around Fouke, Arkansas.
A small town in the Southwest corner of Arkansas, just a short distance from
Louisiana and Texas state lines. It is best known from the movie created
around it's existence, "The Legend of Boggy Creek".
RODNEY BOWERS ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE FOUKE -- The Fouke monster, a legendary bigfoot look-alike, still stalks the lowlands of Miller County, according to local residents. "There were 40-some sightings last year," said Rickie Roberts, Fouke's unofficial monster spokesman. "There were 22 sightings in one day. ... There's even one guy who swears there's a family [of monsters] who live behind his house." Roberts, who owns the Monster Mart grocery on U.S. 71, said the latest sighting came July 17 when four people purportedly saw the creature walking along a dry creek bed about 5 miles south of town. Sightings of the Fouke monster have been reported since the 1940s, according to newspaper articles. In all that time, no one has photographed the creature or captured it. For a time, the only evidence of the creature was a plaster cast of a 131/2-inch footprint taken from a local soybean field. The cast was destroyed in a service station fire in the late 1970s, Roberts said. "That was the only real proof you'd have around here" that the monster exists, he said. Though scores of residents have reported seeing the hairy creature, experts scoff at its existence. Frank Schamback, an archaeologist at Southern Arkansas University at Magnolia who debunked the footprint as a hoax in the 1970s, said he doesn't believe in the Fouke monster. "They like mystery," he said. "It's just that. People like to have a mystery." Residents would have proof by now if the creature existed, Schamback said. "There are people down there with dogs who would have run it down in two days" if it existed, he said. Toby Giles, Miller County's chief sheriff's deputy, said there haven't been any reported sightings in the past few years, but "we do [have one] every once in a while." The sheriff's office used to receive a few reported sightings when he joined the department about 14 years ago, Giles said. "But nothing was ever confirmed," Giles said. "It's still a well-talked-about subject." The town plays up its connection with the monster. Down the road from Monster Mart, a visitor can poke his head through a hole in a metal silhouette and have his photo taken as the monster. Roberts, who sells monster T-shirts, caps and bumper stickers at his store, said the long-armed creature has been described as 6 to 9 feet tall with red, brown, black or black-gray hair covering its body. Roberts said he has never seen the animal, which he speculates might be a "swamp ape," and he wouldn't admit it if he had. "I wouldn't say a word," he said. "People'd think you're crazy." He has heard an eerie howl, possibly from the monster, that almost defies description, Roberts said.
"I've heard it twice. It's a different sound.
I don't know what you would call it," he said. "It'd be a sound like a cross
between a cow bellow and a panther screaming." The monster has never harmed
anyone although it may have caused a few heart-pounding frights, Roberts
said. "This thing has never attacked anyone," he said. The Fouke monster
brought attention to the town in 1972. Film crews descended on Fouke that
year to make the Legend of Boggy
Creek and forever put the community on The town of 614 is listed on the Internet as one of the top 10 places in the world to look for bigfoot, the name associated with creatures similar to the Fouke monster, Roberts said. "We get people in here every day" looking for the monster, he said. "We had a guy save his money for two years to come down from Indiana this summer." Roberts' wife, Beverly, said too many credible people have seen what they described as the monster for her not to believe it exists. "I've got family members who firmly believe they've seen it," she said, noting that they moved away shortly after the experience. "Whatever it is, there is something." Tracy Nichols and Sue Page, who work at City Hall, said they have heard scores of monster tales over the years.
Nichols, noting that the creature is generally
associated with "a bad odor," "We went hunting for it the weekend before last," she said. Page, whose constable father appeared as himself in the Legend of Boggy Creek, said, "I don't know if it's true or not." "We have calls from way off [from people] wanting to know about it," she said. Fouke resident Lavelle Brune said she thought she saw the monster recently. "We saw it" while driving out of town, she said, but "we got to looking, and it was just a bush."
