ShBoom2's Ohio Bigfoot Conference Pics

Review: Bigfoot Central/Bigfoot Quest 5-20-08

2 GREAT shows tonight!!!!!!

First, on Bigfoot Central, M.K. and Don Monroe discussed the recent Ohio Bigfoot Conference, as well as the presentation M.K. put on at the event. They also answered e-mails which were sent in and played a song called The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance which was played on the video tribute to Roger Patterson seen Saturday at the Conference. Dunno what M.K. and Don have planned for next week, but it begins at 8:00 EST/7:00 Central at Home of Bigfoot Central, Tuesday Nights at 8:00 EST/7:00 Central

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over on Bigfoot Quest, Bob and Mike had Steve Summar and Thomas Hughes on as guests, and they discussed activity in both their areas, as well as answering questions from the chat. Bill Green, myself and Shane McMahon called in as well and asked questions (I discussed the Conference from this weekend as well). Dunno what the guys have in store for next week, but it starts at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at

Photo Series 6

These are the alleged graves and grave-markers for Shaggy and Sheba which we found, on the Carter Farm. All of this proves that the previous investigation was flawed and that the people involved must not have known where to go.

Photo Series 5

These photos are in the area of the cave (the bottom photo shows me pointing to it), but the entrance has been filled in so the closest I could come was to get a photo of me pointing to it. We attempted to jump on top of the filled-in area, and it was hollow.

Photo Series 4

These are photos of the layout of the land at the farm, including at the top the famous Poop Barn, which is not where previous investigators thought it was.

Photo Series 3

This is the church and cemetery where Robert Carter, Janice's grandfather, is buried. Her grandmother and mother are also buried there. Certain investigators said that these people were not buried there.

Photo Series 2

These are more photos of that area.

Photo series 1

These photos show an area where a building is across from the Lost Sea, an underground lake, in Monroe County, not far from the farm. The building is where allegedly there was a sideshow exhibition of a Sasquatch many years ago.

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.

Update on the Bigfoot Quest for Tonight...

Bob and Mike are doing an open-mic/roundtable show beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Bigfoot_Quest And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Bigfoot: the bashful celeb

The Patterson-Gimlin film has been both decried as a clever hoax and lauded as visual proof that an unclassified biped roams the North American continent.

Shot in 1967 near Bluff Creek, Calif., the few dozen frames of 16 mm film show a creature walking away from amateur cameraman Roger Patterson. He and Bob Gimlin were in the area filming for a documentary Patterson planned to produce when they encountered a creature matching the description widely attributed to Sasquatch or Bigfoot: hair-covered, 7 to 8 feet tall weighing several hundred pounds and muscular.

During the 20th Annual Bigfoot Conference/Expo Saturday at the Salt Fork Resort & Conference Center, M.K. Davis, a foremost expert on the film, presented what he said was proof that the film was not hoaxed and that Patty, as the creature has come to be known, is a flesh-and-blood creature.

"There's no way in the world it's a suit," Davis said. "You're not looking at a man in a suit."

The Mississippian is an astrophotographer by vocation and is accustomed to examining photographs in detail and spotting what others might overlook. He blended this meticulous discipline for observation with technology to examine the film, presenting some of his findings to the more than 400 audience members.

By using technology not available until many years after the film was shot new details can be gleaned from the footage, Davis said. Among those that he has observed is what may be a braid in the creature's hair (the braiding of horse manes is associated with some sightings), movement of hair in an estimated 8 to 9 mph breeze at her back and pendulous breasts that move in concert with her stride and variations of skin tone.

Other details that Davis said substantiates the film as authentic include clearly visible back muscle and gluteal muscle movement corresponding appropriately to the creature's gait and bumps along the spine like that of a human spinal column.

A wound is visible on Patty's right thigh, Davis said, and she can be seen digging a small trench by dragging a foot through the sandy soil.

Davis addressed a "bloody pool" seen in some frames. The area was frequented by logging crews, and he suggested that the pool was a hole -- pointing out apparent tool marks along one edge -- filled with an unknown red fluid. While pursuing the creature with camera in hand Patterson reportedly stepped into the hole but continued to film.

Though Patterson, who died in 1972, was stigmatized for the filming, and the footage and those defending its authenticity have since been scorned, the weight of the scientific evidence presented by the film and by those who have objectively scrutinized it, said Davis, can only establish it as documentation of an unclassified creature in its native habitat.

Davis said his work on the film was done in tribute to Patterson.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum presented his findings from a recent trip to China researching the Yeren, one Asian creature similar to Sasquatch, Bigfoot and the Yeti.

Meldrum said he spoke with witnesses to the Yeren in a rugged, mountainous and wet (as much as 870 inches rainfall annually) interior region of the country. He accompanied the director of an amateur research group and was able to examine two superb plaster casts of tracks. The tracks, he said, showed the effects of a stride by a creature with a foot physiology different from that of a human. This type of stride can be seen in the Patterson-Gimlin film, further substantiating claims that the creature cannot simply be a human actor in a suit.

Meldrum also announced that his published scientific name for tracks and footprints attributed to Sasquatch-like creatures -- Anthropoidipes ameriborealis -- has not been contested in the scientific community.

Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society Director Eric Altman briefed the audience on both ancient and recent reported sightings. He said that Lenni Lanape and Susquehannock tribes both had names for the creatures they observed, including "masked being" "living solid face" and "game keeper."

The first recorded sighting of Bigfoot in Pennsylvania was in August 1838. Research began in earnest during the late 1960s. In 1998 the PBS was formed. Altman, who had an interest in Bigfoot stretching back to his youth, became the director in 2000.

A particularly intriguing case dated from July 2006. A family heard screaming from nearby woods. The following day members found a deer with its right front leg wedged tightly in the "V" of a tree. The hind quarters were missing and the head bloodied. Tracks 17 inches in length were found nearby as well as uprooted trees.

One theory was that a large cat could have killed the deer. However, Altman said, state wildlife officials said there were no such predators in the area.

Altman was also involved in researching an image of a creature captured by a stationary camera in October 2007. The image was distributed nationally, and shows what some say is a mangy bear and what others claim to be a juvenile Bigfoot.

Scheduled speaker Igor Bourtsev was unable to attend from Russia. Due to political unrest there he was forbidden from leaving the country. However, he e-mailed his presentation and Davis gave an abbreviated presentation.

Bourtsev has been involved for many years with research in Asia into the Almas, the region's Bigfoot-like "cryptid" or unknown animal. He has had a role in research into the story of Zana, reportedly a female Alma who mated with a human male and bore two children.

Bourtsev also joined an expedition to Tennessee to the Carter Farm, sight of numerous sightings. Hairs were collected there and analyzed, and reportedly the DNA contained within them is very close to that of humans.

Native Ohioans Bob Gray and Liza Foster were also on hand promoting the motion picture "Bigfoot." Gray wrote, directed and acted in the film shot on location in the marshes of northeastern Ohio.

Unlike some characterizations of Bigfoot as gentle giants ("Harry and the Hendersons" for example), the creature in Gray's film is a murderous monster that kills, among others, Gray character.

Foster plays a wildlife officer and Gray a sheriff. Distribution plans are in the works for the award-winning film.

Review: Squatch Detective Radio 5-19-08

This was a GREAT show, the first post-Ohio Bigfoot Conference show, with guests Dave and Penny Houston, who discussed some activity on their property, as well as their habituation that is going on on their property. Several folks called in (including using a new free feature on Blog Talk Radio called Click To Talk), including myself, Bill Green, Shane McMahon and others, as well as a few calling in on the phone line. There was a good deal of discussion of the Ohio Conference as well, on the show and in the chat, and I also brought it up on the show. Next week, the Squatch Detective crew welcomes the one and only Robert W. Morgan beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/TheSquatchDetective You can also download past shows there, as well as subscribe via iTunes.

Possible sighting on the way to Salt Fork State Park

On Friday afternoon, in Southeast Ohio, on the way to Salt Fork State Park, I saw a possible 'Squatch walking on a ridge off to the left of the highway. It was tall, dark and somewhat resembled the old Produce label that was found in California a few years ago. I could not estimate height, but it was massive.

Disclaimer:

My goal in posting about M.K. Davis' presentation from the Ohio Bigfoot Conference was to educate people about these new revelations on the P/G Movie, and not intended to embarrass him in any way. Some parties have taken it upon themselves to post my entire review of M.K.'s presentation on their websites, and this is fine, but some of these parties feel it necessary to ridicule and blog and blunder the entire presentation, which is absolute nonsense and I am not party to that. I hope this explains things in a reasonable manner.

Interesting Conversation I overheard at the Ohio Conference which could change the whole scope of the P/G Movie

Following on the heels of M.K. Davis' tremendous presentation on the Patterson/Gimlin Movie at the 20th-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference, I overheard an interesting conversation between a group of researchers who told a most interesting story which surrounds the circumstances of the film. Disclaimer: this is all theory and conjecture, and not absolute proof or truth and is only rumor and hearsay at this point. One gentleman said he had heard a rumor that Patterson and Gimlin were not the only ones on the sandbar that day (and no, I am not talking about Heironimus); it is speculated that two researchers were also in the area that day, and that either they or some loggers were on the sandbar with rifles taking potshots at "Patty" while Patterson and Gimlin were there. Patterson allegedly jumped into the hole with the pool of blood in it to avoid being shot. Allegedly, there was a massacre of "Patty's" family and that the bodies were down in the excavated pit which was seen in M.K.'s presentation. This is why during the presentation the supposed hernia on the leg of "Patty" was speculated to be a bullethole by some in the audience (M.K. did not say what he thought it was). Now remember, all of this is SPECULATION, RUMOR and HEARSAY only. This is NOT established as fact. Until further confirmation is made of all this, this will remain rumor and undetermined.

Sad Announcement/Squatch Detective Radio Tonight...

My Friends and Colleagues,

Please read my attached PDF File. As of today, the American Bigfoot Society is closing it's doors.

Anyone who is interested, a new group is forming to take it's place. Please email me at: Anomalisent@gmail.com

This yet to be named group will be investigating Fortean and Paranormal mysteries - keeping them unconnected of course.

It's time to diversify the portfolio.

All the best my friends - regardless if you decided to join or not... Let's stay in touch!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve, Becky and Billy (fresh from the Ohio Bigfoot Conference) will be hosting Dave and Penny Houston for a second visit beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/TheSquatchDetective And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Is this a "Patty" lookalike in this photo?

I took this photo in Dallas Gilbert's research area last Friday, and it appears to be a "Patty"-like individual walking from left to right. I did see the motion of it walking across and snapped the pic at that moment. Look closely to the left in the bottom photo, and also the enhanced one on top, and you can see a profile of something which appears to have a peaked head. I will get it further enhanced at a later date, but for now, please leave comments or questions here, and make up your own minds.

Final day of Road Trip

We left Salt Fork State Park Sunday afternoon at Noon Eastern and headed north to Westerville, Ohio to visit Lawrence (Buffalo Hump)'s dad, who turned 80 yesterday, and had a very pleasant visit. We then went to Area 157 where Ron Lewis showed us where he had 'Squatches coming into his property and he showed us some rather interesting terrain. We left from there to head to Logansport, Indiana, where we were supposed to pick up a truck and trailer, but that never transpired. We then headed on back here to Rockwood and arrived about an hour ago. Look for a report on a rather controversial area of activity located near here sometime this week.
