Debunking the Debunkers: Investigation 1: The Carter Farm
This is a personal journal of my trip to the Madisonville, McMinn/Monroe County, Tennessee Carter Farm, where certain investigators said that certain landmarks, locations and incidents did not exist or occur. Well, I am here to tell you, that their investigation was flawed. Number 1, they did not bother to go directly to the source, Ms. Carter herself. I did. Number 2, I did see many of the supposedly non-existent locations and landmarks, which I will demonstrate in a series of photos which will follow this post. I will say here that those who made the investigations of two years ago simply did not do their homework and did not bother to check the real story. What follows is my series of photos and descriptions of each. Peruse them and make up your own mind.
Henry, this was very valuable information, perhaps more than you know. Others within the research community now know who NOT to listen to, since these people clearly full of misinformation and short on fact. This brings up an idea.
ReplyDeleteIt seems high time that someone within the community, perhaps a group of researchers you can trust, should strive to collect and collate a list of the Bigfoot researchers who are truly seeking the truth and those who spread false information in in attempt to mislead other researchers.
With such a list, those of us who are not so intensely in tune with the personalities within this field, serious and gas-bags alike, can better tune where to ask for information and where to help other REAL researchers, while at once avoiding the hoakstering which seems so pervasive.
You have performed a real public service.
