Review: The Bigfoot Mystery 7-8-09

This was a really terrific show, despite some technical issues, with guest Abe Del Rio (Elusive1) who discussed research in his home state of Minnesota, where he researches with a fellow named as TheFirstBillyJack and a fellow named Tim (TCSJR), as well as his opinions on various topics in the Bigfoot field. Ticking Mind called in and asked various questions, as well as in chat. Next show will be July 29th, at 10:30 EST/9:30 Central with guest Tom Yamarone. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.


Review: Monsterquest 7-8-09

Really well-done episode!!! Some notes:


Jim Hebert-1994, Grand Teton Park witness

Jeff Meldrum-Footprint Examination

Bill Munns-examination of the P/G Film.


Dr. David Begun-Paleoanthropologist

James "Bobo" Fay-BFRO member

2,500 sightings since 1969

Freeman footage examined, as is the Cripplefoot casts from Bossburg Washington

Bill Munns' work is highlighted on the P/G Film

The team of Munns, Bobo and others will attempt to measure the site of the P/G Film, led by Doug Devine

The team will attempt to fly over the film site, but the weather is not cooperating

David Murphy is also profiled, the man who is writing a biography on Roger Patterson

A recreation of Roger Patterson taking and passing a polygraph test is shown, which was written about in National Wildlife Magazine

Professor Jeff Sedlik is a forensic examiner who is also attempting to analyze the P/G Film

Mapping technology is being used to determine a chart of eyewitness accounts since October 20, 1967, by Frank Orr, a GIS specialist

The mapping is done based on average rainfall and its correlation

Casts are examined by Dr. Meldrum on the program in his usual attention to detail

The Freeman footage is examined next, and given an endorsement by Meldrum

Sedlik attempts to clean up the image to examine it properly

The helicopter team attempts to land near the P/g Filmsite, but it seems impossible due to excessive snow

They land close to the film site and attempt to hike into the site, but that is abandoned

Munns decides to instead do a photogrammetry examination of the site via photos

Based on the work he did with photogrammetry, he determines the height of the creature, along with the fact that Patterson used a 15-MM lens on his camera

Munns then builds 5 different heads to determine the actual head shape of "Patty"

He conducts experiments with the five heads and comes to a startling conclusion

Two witnesses from Wenatchee, Washington saw a Sasquatch there in 1976

The two fired shots over the creature's head, and frightened it off

Meldrum is seen examining tracks which show a mid-tarsal break

Meldrum believes this finding may the most significant since the Bossburg Cripple

He consults an orthopedic surgeon, David Howe, on his opinion on the Cripplefoot casts

Dr. Begun is skeptical, especially of the P/G Film

Munns is of the opinion that the film is real, using an overlay

An experiment is conducted with the five shaped heads to see if motion blur could account for the different shapes of the head shown in the film

it is shot on the same type of camera Patterson used and also on a High-Definition video camera

Dr. Howe believes the Cripplefoot cast shows a fracture, which indicates it is real and not hoaxed

Dr. Sedlik is on the fence on the P/G Film

Munns cannot get a human to fit into the proportions on "Patty"

His conclusion is that it is real

The various experts interviewed were split, but open-minded

No Sasquatch Triangle Tomorrow, but...

Monsterquest has a new episode on Sasquatch titled Critical Evidence. Here is the description:

Airs on Wednesday July 08 09:00 PM EST/8:00 Central on History. Check Local Listings for time and channel.

Frightening encounters with the legendary monster known as Sasquatch are reported in almost every state of America. These run-ins with terrifying upright hairy beasts date back centuries and sightings number in the thousands. Despite the many Sasquatch reports, skeptics point to the lack of evidence as compelling reason for the creature being merely a myth. Now, however, new analysis of the best existing evidence could finally uncover proof of this elusive beast. A special investigation gathers together the critical evidence--from startling videos to tracks, prints and sighting maps. State of the art analysis may finally give definitive proof that Sasquatch is among us.

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

Review: Bigfoot Quest 7-7-09

This was a pretty terrific show, with guests Joe Beelart and Cliff Olson, who discussed their research in the Oregon wilderness and the stories they have heard from that area. They shared some interesting research stories as well. Bill Green and I were the only callers, and I asked the two about their opinions on the Internet and its effect on research, and Bill asked his standard questions, LOL 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.

Review: Sasquatch Watch Radio 7-6-09

This was a rather, shall we say, interesting show, with guest Tom Burnette, who made some rather interesting claims of having a supposed Sasquatch skull and remains and claims of frequent sightings and possible habituation in his home state of North Carolina. He also discussed his new book Nature's Secret Agents which has more of the same fantastic claims. Several folks called in, including Nancy S., Smiter (who seemed to be dubious of Tom's claims-SMITER was dubious of someone else's claims!) and myself and Bill Green (I asked Tom if he was sure his skull was from a Sasquatch or possibly of an escaped ape of some sort, and also when he mentioned that a DNA sample was taken and found not to match any known animal, I asked him if there was the possibility of deteroriation in the sample). Bill asked him about his book as well as his standard question of recent sightings or footprint discoveries. Next week, the guest is Bart Cutino from California, starting at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

A stellar voice in the Fortean wilderness has passed on, as Loren Coleman documents in this tribute to the man who brought the Mothman experience to life. Coleman reviews the life and works of John Keel, presenting numerous images along the way. Keel's contributions to the many facets of Forteana will continue to influence the field for years to come. Keel was best known to the general public as the author of The Mothman Prophecies, the book that formed the basis for the 2002 movie of the same name that starred Richard Gere, Debra Messing, Laura Linney and Alan Bates. There's more tribute to Keel in Jon Downes' posting atCryptozoology Online: John Keel Dead, with video.

Reviews: Nite Callers and Beyond The Edge Radio 7-5-09

Nite Callers was great, with guest wildlife naturalist Larry Battson, who discussed his research as well as his recent lecture for the USF&WS. I called in and asked Larry how his wildlife experience fits in with his Sasquatch research, which he answered terrifically. I was, unfortunately, rudely interrupted by my fighting nieces and had to hang up. Next week, the guest will be Scott Herriott, 7:00 EST/6:00 Central.

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

Over on Beyond The Edge Radio, the guest was Henry Franzoni, who discussed a good deal about his opinions of what Bigfoot is based on his own experiences, where he claims that Bigfoot is telepathic and is able to cause engines to blow out. I called in and asked Henry if he was familiar with the work of Dave Paulides and his books and that the investigations he conducted revealed that people had heard what sounded like Native American language coming from the forest and that Native American elders said that if a Sasquatch is spoken to in Native language that it understands it. Dunno what the guys have planned for next week, but it begins at 9:30 EST/8:30 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Scott Corrales unearths a relatively ancient 3.5-inch computer disk with information from a 1993 newspaper article that describes the alleged chupacabras predations in Puerto Rico two years prior to the usually accepted date of their beginning. But the chupacabras story isn't the only report of livestock attacks attracting Corrales' attention, as seen in the cattle mutilations reported in Argentina: Nogoya, 2002.
Eddie Middleton writes of recent Bigfoot encounters near Hartford, IL, particularly around the ruins of a late 19th Century structure called Lakeview Castle built by an eccentric Frenchman for his wife. Are the anecdotes related to Middleton true? Has a Bigfoot been terrorizing gate guards directly across the road from the woods surrounding the ruins of Lakeview Castle? Meanwhile, The Blogsquatcher, with the admonition "ENM: you'll be hearing about this...", points you toward Ecological Niche Modeling and Finding Sasquatch's Range Distribution. Elsewhere, Loren Coleman, despite being Held Over: Fort Knox on the 5th, still finds time to blog aboutBigfoot News From Pine Ridge and Lusca of Bermuda? Coleman also offers a quick overview of a recent discovery that could have interesting ramifications in Ogopogo Tissue Sample?

Review: Bigfoot: America's King Kong 7-3-09

This was a terrific show, with Jordan hosting solo, with myself and Bill Green as the guests, who discussed various things, including David Paulides' new book Tribal Bigfoot as well as about the recent Connecticut hoax (which of course, correlated into Bill's favorite subject, the Georgia hoax (*sigh*)) as well as discussing some other issues in the field of Bigfoot. Abe (Elusive 1) called in and discussed some recent expeditions he and his group have taken part in, as well as Dean Harrison the Yowie researcher calling in and discussing some recent activity down in Oz. Next week, Jordy will host TCSJR beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Book Review: Tribal Bigfoot by David Paulides, with illustrations by Harvey Pratt


Better than The Hoopa Project!!!


We have all heard how a movie sequel is usually better than the original. The Empire Strikes Back, Godfather II, Transformers II. Well, in books, sometimes a sequel comes along that blows its predecessor away; that has happened with the new book Tribal Bigfoot. Those who read David's excellent original book last year (the Bigfoot Book of the Year 2008) know that there was a good deal of reports from the Hoopa reservation in Northwest California. For Tribal, David revisits the NW part of the Golden State, by going to Del Norte, Siskiyou, Humboldt and Trinity Counties to investigate more reports that have been investigated by him and his team. He also revisits Hoopa by asking the witnesses who did not have sketches done for Project to have the sketches made by Harvey Pratt the famed forensic artist, which they are. But Paulides goes beyond NW California in this book; he also travels to the Sooner State of Oklahoma to interview eyewitnesses, as well as to The Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota. Not only are there witnesses interviewed and sketches drawn of eyewitness accounts, but Paulides also comes to some startling conclusions as to the true nature of the Sasquatch, via DNA tests and just talking to the eyewitnesses and hearing their descriptions. The DNA tests yield some very surprising results, and Dave follows the evidence as he sees it to its conclusions-that Bigfoot is truly more human than ape, and that they have a language, according to reports he has investigated of witnesses hearing what sounds like Native American language coming from the woods, and also hearing from Native American elders that if a Native American speaks to a Sasquatch in their native tongue, the Sasquatch will understand it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, and give it not 5, not 6, not even 9, but 10 stars!!!!!! Well-done, Dave and Harvey!!!!!!
On June 30th, a woman in Connecticut called police to report she “almost hit Sasquatch” standing in the middle of the road. When police searched the area, they found an obviously not-too-bright, 16-year-old male dressed in a gorilla-like costume. See Loren Coleman give a talk at Fort Knox on the 4th in Maine, or ponder this question: What Color Are Living Dinosaurs?
