Bigfoot Hunters Claim To Have Footprint Of Legendary Beast

NewsBlaze - ‎Jun 1, 2009‎
By Robert Paul Reyes According to a UPI report, Bigfoot hunters claim they found footprints and heard calls of the creature in Oklahoma. ...



Now Available from Hancock House Publishers: Sasquatch/Bigfoot and the
Mystery of the Wildman by Jean-Paul Debenat.

In this remarkable volume, Dr. Jean-Paul Debenat, a professor of
comparative literature (University of Nantes, France) with a flair
for anthropology, takes us far beyond the realm of documented
research on the Sasquatch/Bigfoot phenomenon. His extensive travels
in North America, skillful investigations, and years of research on
the 'wild man' throughout world history have resulted in this highly
authoritative work.

Dr. Debenat’s handling of the subject is both unique and exciting,
as well as being highly factual. Rather than a simple presentation of
facts and findings, we are taken to the very 'heart' of the matter
with meaningful insights and knowledgeable interpretations -- one
experiences the full spectrum of learning, including emotion.

Review: The Grey Area 6-3-09

This was a GREAT show, with guests Tom Yamarone, James "Bobo" Fay and Paul Graves, the organizers of the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up, who discussed how successful it was and the DVD coming this Summer. They also took a call from me, who told them how much fun I had. That was the first half of the show. The second hald was with Bill Munns, who was kind of dumbing down the work he has done on the P/G Film ( I asked him a question about his criterion for his lens experiment). In two weeks, the ladies go back into the UFO field with a UFO hunter. It starts at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Book Review: Bigfoot Film Journal by Chris Murphy


This e-book, the first from Hancock House, is a terrific one, dealing exclusively with the Patterson/Gimlin Movie, and it's a good one. It deals with the timeline issue surrounding the filming and the controversies surrounding that, as well as speculating in favor of the film's authenticity. It also deals very fairly with both sides of the issue, pro and con, and Murphy even uses information from Greg Long and his book The Making Of Bigfoot. Of course, the efforts of those past and present are highlighted-notables such as Grover Krantz, John Green, Rene Dahinden, Peter Byrne, Patterson and Gimlin themselves, M.K. Davis, Jeff Glickman and the work NASI did, the Russian scientists, such as Dmitri Bayanov, Igor Bourtsev and Dmitri Donskoy and the British scientists, such as Don Grieve and John Napier. The book is illustrated profusely throughout with illustrations, mainly by Brenden Bannon, as well as photos and papers and other items scattered throughout. There are also links to items online which correspond to the subject matter which can be perused. When this is made available widely, I do recommend getting it. Probably the most important book on the film since Bigfoot At Bluff Creek and America's Bigfoot: Fact, Not Fiction. (I have now read the hard copy, and really do not have anything to add to the review I posted above. Still a great book.)

Javier Ortega translates as a Mexican paranormal investigation group, filming its investigation of a "Lady in White" ghost alleged to haunt a stretch of highway in the Mexican state of Sonora, experiences what they believe is a ghostly hand trying to reach into their vehicle. The ten-minute video segment is presented in its entirety and in a shorter enhanced version. Elsewhere, Paul Dale Roberts shares some of the contacts he receives from the public seeking investigations of high strangeness, including a request to investigate the world's largest Alpine valley, as he explains in Ghostly Cowboys at San Luis Valley Portal.

Review: Bigfoot Quest 6-2-09

This was a really great show, with guest Eric Altman, who discussed some recent activity in Pennsylvania, as well as the experience he and Mike Feltner had at Salt Fork State Park last October. The only caller that I know of was Don Keating, who discussed a bit about habituation and whether or not those claims are substantiated. Dunno what Bob and Mike have planned for next week, but it begins at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
In Hoopa, CA, Bigfoot is not a legend. The huge, hairy manlike creature has reportedly been experienced by numerous residents. David Paulides collected tales of Bigfoot encounters in the area in his book The Hoopa Project: Bigfoot Encounters in California. Here Paulides talks about the book and the collaborative effort with the North American Bigfoot organization. He also relates an encounter from the book. There's another encounter report, and the revelation that David Paulides will be the featured speaker at an upcoming event in the report Bigfoot Sightings in Santa Cruz Discussion Set. Elsewhere, The Blogsquatcher welcomes a guest blogger who remarks about the most famous of all Bigfoot evidence, The PG Film: If It's a Fake, Do It Again.

Review: Sasquatch Watch Radio 6-1-09

This was a pretty terrific show, with guest Jeff Hilling, proprietor of PattersonFilm.com who discussed his longtime interest in the P/G Film, as well as his theories as to whether or not it is real. Several folks called in, including Irish Guy, who really made some great points about the special-effects industry and its suits which do not match up to "Patty." I called in and talked about the interview Bobbie Short conducted with John Chambers in 1997 where Chamber denied any involvement in making the suit for the P/G Film, and also asked Jeff if he was familiar with the work of Bill Munns (he was not) and I told him about the Munns report and the website. Ron from Tennessee also called in and discussed some things about the film. The last half of the show was devoted to field research as well. Next week, Billy and DB welcome Scott Herriott as their guest at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Loren Coleman adds a new dimension to a World War II mystery: What if the strange aerial objects observed by pilots from both sides of the conflict during the war that ended over fifty years ago were not mechanical objects, but were, instead, some unrecognized biological entities? Coleman suggests the reader pick up a copy of Keith Chester's Strange Company: Military Encounters With UFOs in WWII and read it without getting caught up in the UFO angle. Has a new area of cryptid research been opened up by events from over fifty years ago? And what impact would be felt in the world of UFOlogy if many of the unidentified aerial objects believed to be alien spacecraft turned out to be previously unrecognized earthly biological entities? With image and videos. Meanwhile, Brad Steiger's newest book, Beyond Shadow World, receives an excellent review from Tom Longden in his "Famous Iowans" feature included in the Des Moines Register's Catching Up With Brad Steiger and John Frederick.

Reviews: Nite Callers/HBM's Crypto-Corner 5-31-09

On Nite Callers, the guest was supposed to be Thom Powell, author of The Locals, but he came across an emergency situation he had to take care of, so it was open-mic about research and also answering questions. Mike Hall, a researcher from Texas, was on in place of Powell, and he discussed some research he has done, as well as about the upcoming Honobia Bigfoot Conference this fall. I called in along with Bill Green and talked a good bit about current happenings in the Bigfoot world, as well as about the Dogman phenomenon. A fellow named JB also called in, as did Jordan Warner. Next week, the guest will be Henry Franzoni (In The Spirit of Seatco) beginning at 7:00 EST/6:00 Central.



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



On HBM's the topic was Cryptozoology hoaxes, and Bill finally got off his chest his feelings on the Georgia Hoax. He and Jordan and I discussed a good deal about it, and we just basically let Bill vent about it for about the first 45 minutes. Then we got into the other Cryptozoology hoaxes and Bigfoot hoaxes, such as the Skookum Cast (which may just be a misidentification), as well as the Sonoma footage, the Memorial Day Footage, the Myakka Skunk Ape photos, Tom Biscardi and other hoaxes. Several folks called in, including Laurie who talked about the GA. Hoax, and also Abe and Bill from Minnesota Bigfoot Research, who discussed some interesting activity from this weekend in their area. Don Keating also called in and discussed the Freeman videos and his admission on Good Morning America in 1987 of being a hoaxer. I am working on a special guest for June 14, 9:30 EST/8:30 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Book Review: Who's Watching You? by Linda Coil Suchy


Truly terrific book.


This book basically gives an interesting perspective on the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon because the author's Gram had experiences with what she called King Kong or The Beast, back before the name Bigfoot came along. Gram grew large vegetables which were raided by something, possibly a Bigfoot (she had several sightings). She used to also make cakes made of pumpkin and zucchini for the creature, which it would accept. There are also many historical and cultural aspects discussed in the book, including the classics, as well as sighting reports given to Linda. There are several interviews with notables in the field, including Jeff Meldrum, Thomas Steenburg, Bob Gimlin, John Green, Henner Fahrenbach, Dmitri Bayanov, Robert W. Morgan and others. I give this book, which is really great, a 4 3/4 out of 5 stars. Get this book!!!

Book Review: Know The Sasquatch/Bigfoot Limited Edition by Christopher L. Murphy


I originally reviewed this book last August after receiving the e-book version of it. The original review is here and it still stands. But this new edition is signed by the author and numbered by Hancock House (it is a limited edition of 150), and it is not cheap-it costs $150!!! I gladly paid that much for it at the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up a couple of weeks ago (it was published specifically for that event), and there are copies available at the Hancock House website at http://www.hancockhouse.com/products/knosas_-_ltd.htm I do recommend this one, even with the rather expensive price tag.

The 21st-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference/Expo DVD is now available for purchase. I am not sure of the cost, but it is worth the price. Contact Don Keating at eobic@yahoo.com to inquire about ordering this DVD.

DVD Review: 21st-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference/Expo

Bang-up job by Jordan Warner!!!


This slightly less than 90-minute production is really a terrific overview of the recent Conference, with all the presentations more or less intact (just some slight editing here and there). Diane Stocking, Billy Willard and Don Keating make their presentations quite well, and their presentations really shine with Jordan's masterful camerawork and editing. Even Leigh Hart looks not too bad on this production. It is a true hallmark for Conference DVDs, and truly worth owning. I give the production values a major 5-star rating, and the presentations 5 stars as well. Well-done, Jordan!!!!!!
