Review: Squatch Detective Radio 12-17-07
This was a pretty good show, with Sally and Ammi from North Carolina calling in and giving some reports of things happening in that area, including some photos which seem interesting but questionable and a bit blobsquatchy. Several people called in, including someone named Eric Squatcher and also Eric Altman and myself to ask these folks questions. There were also a couple of prank callers who threatened to take the show down but didn't spoil the fun too much. It was great. Next week will be a best-of show, then on New Years' Eve, a possibly live New Years' Eve party, and both shows start at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Hunters of Sasquatch undaunted by failure
Mcclatchy-tribune - December 16, 2007
DEVIL PEAK, EL DORADO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. - Wally Hersom is an intuitive man, with an instinct for when opportunity might knock.
It's not knocking now.
The soft-spoken, white-maned Hersom is standing in the dark on a remote mountaintop in Northern California listening to the eerily quiet rustling of leaves.
"It's too quiet," he says. "It doesn't feel right."
Below him in the pitch-black hollows of this remote forest area, groups of men and a few women sit crouched, pointing $9,000 thermal imaging cameras at the darkness.
Every so often, one of them emits a blood-curdling shriek.
They are searching for a monster.
Hersom, 72, is the reason why. Over the past year, the part-time resident of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., (Hersom's primary home is in Henderson, Nev.) has pumped tens of thousands of dollars into the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, an Orange County-based group of Sasquatch-hunters.
Hersom pays the salary of Matt Moneymaker, the BFRO's director. He has outfitted the group with 10 thermal imaging cameras, as well as video recorders and night-vision devices. Total cost: more than $100,000.
In the process, Hersom hopes to change the popular conception of Bigfoot believers from wooly-eyed weirdos to heroic hominoid hunters.
Hersom, like the more than 2 dozen people who have joined him on this expedition to the El Dorado National Forest, believes that Bigfoot is a yet-undiscovered species of immensely strong, craftily intelligent and highly elusive great ape.
"I think the timing's right," Hersom says. "In the next 12 months, this thing is going to break wide open."
Hersom is the former owner of HC Power, an Irvine, Calif.-based company that manufactured power conversion equipment for cell phone towers and industrial facilities. The company flourished, Moneymaker says, in large part because Hersom foresaw the importance of gadgets like cell phones and computers and created technologies to serve them.
"He's an engineering genius, and ... he's got this almost spooky sense of when it's the right time to do something," Moneymaker says.
That sense convinced Hersom to sell his company in 2000, before the dot-com bust. He reaped $110 million and decided to indulge a lifelong fascination: Bigfoot.
"My broker - when I told him what I was doing he couldn't stop laughing," Hersom says. "He thought I was crazy. But I think we have a unique opportunity because nobody believes us. Once [it's] proven that Bigfoot is out there, ... I think this is going to be the biggest discovery of the century."
Hersom stumbled on Moneymaker's BFRO Web site, one of many such sites that track and list Bigfoot sightings around the country. He went on an expedition in Wisconsin.
Nothing happened.
Hersom tried again on a second expedition. This time he says he heard howls in the night and had rocks thrown at him - typical Bigfoot behavior, according to Moneymaker.
"I heard three distinct steps near my tent," Hersom recalls. "I thought 'Oh, my God, here it is.'"
The experience sold him. He joined the BFRO and went on four more expeditions. He collected photographs and plaster casts of 15-inch-long Bigfoot tracks, which he displays in his stately San Juan Capistrano hilltop-home. He bought cameras and other equipment in hopes of generating photographic proof for the naysayers - and lucrative film footage for himself.
Moneymaker and Hersom speculate that Bigfoot has a nocturnal animal's acute night vision. The key to "discovering" Bigfoot, if such a creature exists, is to mimic that ability.
"The only way we're going to [prove] it is if we can film in the dark," Moneymaker says. Hersom has enabled the BFRO "to bring some technology to bear that has been out of reach of Bigfoot researchers."
On the mountain, Hersom stands silently while Moneymaker and his group of volunteers put the equipment to use. Through the camera's glowing scope, the darkness transforms into a silvery landscape. But there is no Bigfoot to be seen.
Moneymaker tips his head and emits a piercing scream. Over the radio, the scattered group of BFRO members is instructed to do the same and to knock baseball bats against trees. The screams and knocks are meant to mimic the alleged noises of a "real" Bigfoot. The hope, Moneymaker says, is to trick the creatures into coming within filming range.
Does Hersom ever feel ... er ... a bit ridiculous?
"I'm just going to play it by ear," Hersom says. "I'm going to go as long as it feels right for me."
Hersom says he has only heard Bigfoot, but many within the group report more intimate encounters. They describe a giant apelike creature that walks on two feet and appears to have its own language (called "Samurai" for its sing-song resemblance to un-dubbed ninja warrior movies).
Bigfoot also is, some say, capable of projecting a paralyzing telepathic feeling of fear that stuns humans and animals alike. Moneymaker uses the term "infrasound" and calls the experience being "zapped."
Why then, would anyone pursue an encounter?
Moneymaker describes the discovery of Bigfoot as a "historical prize." But for many members of this (mostly male) group of enthusiasts, the quest is the lure.
"Part of me really like the mystery of it - the not knowing, the seeking," says Robert Leiterman, who works as a park ranger in Humboldt County, Calif.
Leiterman is one of a half-dozen past and current Orange County residents who have joined Hersom and Moneymaker on this expedition to Northern California.
Among the group: two employees from an architectural design company, an advertising executive and the director of security for a hotel.
"I just have to know the truth," says Kathy Lammens, 43.
Lammens is on the expedition with friend and office-mate, Brooke Sharon, 54. Like many members of the BFRO, they are captivated by their obsession and capable of laughing at it.
"I am one of these people who have an open mind," Sharon says. "I love the idea of Bigfoot, of UFOs, of Nessie. Why not? Who's to say it's not true?"
Does it bother BFRO members that nothing will come of this night spent in the cold mountains of California - or the next two nights to follow?
"I'm a little bit discouraged that we didn't hear anything," Hersom says. "They're not everywhere all the time."
Good timing is Hersom's stock in trade. But even he acknowledges that "there's some luck involved."
"Some people say: Bigfoot will find us, we can't find Bigfoot," Hersom says.

Review: Beyond The Edge Radio 12-14-07
This was certainly a more unusual and different show, with 4th Floor Pictures Producer/Director/Writer Ryan Cavalline, who discussed some of his past projects such as Dead Body Man, Day of the Ax, Rotting Souls and other colorfully-titled projects he has been involved with. Ryan believes in Boobs and Gore for his projects. He also discussed his upcoming new film Dead Body Man Chronicles, which he is hoping will have its world premiere in the Spring of '08. The second hour had some rather interesting characters call in, mainly from Ryan's movies. Colorful characters such as Suzie, Earl The Meat Man, Willie the Serial Killer and Denny called in and made the second hour quite lively. I called in and asked Ryan about his influences, as well as his opinion of the spate of PG-13-rated Horror Movies. I actually won a DVD of Dead Body Man as well, and Craig Hines and Bill Green won DVDs as well. It was a very unusual but very fun show. The next program is kind of a Year In Review for the SQuatchMEDIA Productions family, with Sean and Eric, James Baker and Bill Bean, and you never know who else might be dropping by, next Friday at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right.

Review: Let's Talk Bigfoot! 12-12-07
This was a wonderful program, with Mr. Thomas Steenburg as the guest and Teresa back in the co-host chair. He discussed his research and reports in Canada and also the Pacific Northwest, as well as the recent Monsterquest episode on Sasquatch Attack and the DNA results which were examined of that. Discussion was also made of the question of aggression in the Sasquatch, and Steenburg told of aggression in other animals as compared to Sasquatch. Steenburg also tells of his possible sighting in 2003 after dark, as well as an attack by a grizzly on himself. It was a wonderful show, and Melissa and Teresa continue to have one of the best programs out there. Their next guest will be author Lee Murphy, next Wednesday at 10:00 EST/9:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Review: Monsterquest 12-12-07
This show examined melanistic big cats similar to mountain lions, only black in color. An Emil McCain is interviewed about his impressions on it, and a fellow named David Johnson shows his photos of a large black cat. Scott Lope, a director for a Big Cat preserve in Florida, examines the photos and believes it to be a domestic. Heidi Bailey, a biologist from Texas, agrees with Lope's findings. Several eyewitnesses are interviewed, from Oklahoma, Texas and Minnesota. A farmer in Choctaw, Oklahoma is interviewed regarding losing several livestock items on his farm due to a large black cat. A wildlife expert from the Sooner State is of the opinion that the cats are not black.
A fellow named Eric Atkison walks his fence line every night with a large spotlight and rifle with hollow-point bullets. He had a 250-pound Llama killed by an alleged large black cat. Eric finds a large cat track while out on his nightly walk. It is believed that the black cats might be black leopards. A professor at Johns Hopkins University believes large black cats are in people's heads. A farmer close to Atkison, Dale Smith, is also losing livestock to a large black "mountain lion". Smith and Atkison band together to try to hunt down the cat. A videotape taken in West Virginia of an alleged black cat is examined and determined to be inconclusive but interesting. There is some DNA found and sent to the mohawked Todd Disotell, who examines the evidence and finds-well, watch the encore for yourself to see. It was a fairly good episode. The next Monsterquest will deal with Giant Fish, next Wednesday at 10:00 EST/9:00 Central on the History Channel. Check local listings for time and channel.

Randy (don't remember his last name) called in and talked about the MABRC and the things he has witnessed on Doug's property, as well as the research he and Doug and others in the MABRC have done. I called in to ask where the photos of possible 'Squatches could be found online. It was a good show. The next show will be the final one of 2007, with guest Billy Willard, next Tuesday at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Congratulations!!!!!!
M.K. Davis has been chosen as the Bigfoot Times' 2007 Bigfooter of The Year, and it could not have gone to a more deserving recipient. There may be those who disagree with M.K.'s findings (and I do not agree with ALL his findings), but he has been a pioneer in the studies of the Patterson/Gimlin Movie despite all the nay-sayers, and is well-deserving of this honor. I send out a hearty congratulations to my friend M.K. Davis!!!!!!
Jamie's Dig Unearths a Monster Evening Telegraph
A teenage fossil hunter is claiming to have found the bones of a Loch Ness monster in a quarry on the outskirts of Peterborough. The bigger bones have been confirmed as those of a Plesiosaur – one of the first kinds of extinct animal known to science, which resemble Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster.
