Editorial: Is there a Bigfoot Body in the Peach State?

I have held off on writing about this because I had initially written it off as a joke, especially considering how the gentlemen who make this claim were acting towards the Bigfoot community, but I have decided to throw my two cents in on this issue. About two or three weeks ago, two gentlemen, Ric Dyer and a fellow named Gary, set up a website called bigfoottracker.com where they made the extraordinary claim that they had the ultimate piece of proof of the existence of a North American hairy biped-a body! They issued a series of video vignettes where they offended much of the Bigfoot community and bashed all Bigfooters in general, which caused a great deal of consternation in the BF community. The latest stunts these fellows pulled were burning Loren Coleman's Bigfoot book and essentially making themselves look bad. However, perhaps these stunts are being done in an effort to distract Bigfooters from the true nature of the find. Do I agree with their tactics? Not necessarily, but if indeed they do have the goods, then their tactics will ultimately not matter in the end. I think the Bigfoot community will benefit ultimately if indeed these guys from Georgia do have a body. They have set a deadline for themselves of September 1st, and the rest of us are waiting and counting the days till then. If indeed this news is true, then the Bigfoot field as we know it will change drastically, and there will be legislation proposed for protection of these unique creatures and there will be even more expeditions going into the field to look for a domecile of these individuals to study them in their natural habitat. There will be T-Shirts, posters, action figures, websites, new books and documentaries. It will be a very exciting time, for sure, especially for the Bigfoot community, and the rest of the world as well, and the world I think will benefit from it. It will be just one more unknown species which becomes known at last. Let us all reserve judgment until September 1st and see what these guys have. I know I am.

Taking a point from Matt Chait's Beyond Evolution blog, Michael Prescott and some very astute commenters look at one of the infinitesimal processes taking place at all hours of the day and night within the human body and wonder what signals the participants in the process and guides their intricate movements to complete a life-sustaining cycle. Are these functions dictated and choreographed by a "higher power"?

Thirty-five years ago the residents of Durham, ME, were all agog over reports of a gorilla-like presence in the forest. Was it a chimpanzee, a person wearing a costume, Bigfoot or a genuine gorilla? Maine's main cryptozoologist, author and lecturer Loren Coleman of the International Cryptozoology Museum, will lead an informal traipse through the Durham area this month in celebration of the event. Meanwhile, Coleman has another adventure underway, one where the monster is far more frightening than anything he might face in the Maine woods...or anywhere else, for that matter...as detailed in When Weird Meets the IRS. With photo gallery.

Review: Beyond The Edge Radio 8-1-08

This was a terrific show, with guest John Zaffis, who discussed his research into Shadow People which he worked with Rosemary Ellen Guiley on. He also discussed demonology and his research into that, and also his cooperation with clergy and priests. Bill and I were the only callers, and we asked some pretty great questions. John also discussed the scariest case he was involved with, concerning a haunted funeral home, as well as ghostly happenings he has investigated. Next Friday, Eric and Sean continue the Paranormal Party of the Summer and welcome the hosts of the Radio Program Darkness on the Edge Of Town, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at Beyond The Edge Radio, Friday Nights at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central

Like Elvis, Bigfoot seems to be busier than ever. What is thought to be a juvenile Bigfoot has been reported near the York County, PA, town of Red Lion. Being described as only about four feet tall, the "juvenile" appellation was attached to the creature sighted July 18. Could this relatively diminutive hominid be an albatwitch? Meanwhile, the discovery of a "monstrous" corpse on a Long Island beach has led to a compendium entitled The Montauk Monster and the Best Cryptids of All-time, and speculation about the Montauk Monster has one columnist saying Authenticity of the Montauk Monster Contested by Scientists.

As British scientists continue to probe the origins of hairs brought from the northeastern India Garo Hills location where locals claim to have seen a "wild man" five years ago, hopes remain high that the hairs are those of an unknown hominoid species. With photos and illustrations. Meanwhile, out of place animals have claimed the spotlight in the US, as reported at Cryptomundo in "African Lion" Reported in North Carolina and Multiple Sightings of U.MD. Cougar.

Review: Sasquatch Triangle 7-31-08

This was a pretty great show, with the Forkchop himself, Mr. Sean Forker, as the guest. He discussed his research, his encounters and also his growing skepticism with each day that goes by that there is no evidence or proof of the existence of the Sasquatch. I called in and asked Sean his opinion of the Native American Legends, which he responded to by saying he was of the opinion that those were only stories until proven to be an absolute fact. There was also some talk of Don's upcoming shows, as well as Terry and Treba Jahn calling in to report their findings from the field. Next week, Don welcomes back for his fourth appearance John Horrigan to discuss the upcoming Third Annual Mass Monster Mash, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at

An occurrence on a beach at Montauk on Long Island led to such news articles as What on Earth Washed Up in Montauk? and The Montauk Monster: Legend or Latex?, but the explanation posted here by Mori seems to us to be the best answer. Nonetheless, if you are of a mind to discount Mori's learned evaluation, feel free to check out 'Alien' Creature Creates Monster Stir and Mystery Animal Washes Up on Beach. Meanwhile, an energy drink company is offering a Bounty For Montauk Monster, as explained at Cryptomundo.

Tracing some of the cryptid lore from New Hampshire, columnist Matt Kanner calls on cryptozoologists Loren Coleman and Joe Nickell, juxtaposing the two authors and pointing out their differences in the field of cryptozoology. This coming Sunday kicks off Champ Week in Burlington, VT, to celebrate the second most famous lake monster in the world. Cryptomundo has a bit more, with video, in Coleman vs Nickell: Round Two for Champ Week.

Reviews: Monsterquest/Bigfoot Live 7-30-08

Monsterquest was great tonight, about the Legends of the Hairy Beast or Hairy Man, with several Northern Californian Native Americans who described sightings and also their legends, including of the Mayak' Datat' of the Yurok Tribe, which Kathy Strain has been looking into for many years (she was also on the episode to discuss her impressions and the history of the Hairy Man), along with the Pictographs of the Mayak' Datat". John Freitas is interviewed about a 2001 encounter he and James "Bobo" Fay had where Fay had a sighting of a Bigfoot. Fay and Cliff Barackman are interviewed on their impressions and thoughts on the Northern California sightings, as well as going on expedition where they go out on the Klamath River in a boat doing call-blasting, as well as following an expedition in the Suattle River Valley in Washington State with Dr. Briggs Hall and Bill Evans where they set up gamecams and some bait in a tree 12 feet high. There are also some sound recordings analyzed and one of them seems to be quite intriguing to the analyst. Next week, MQ investigates Vampires in America, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central on History. Check local listings for time and channel.
