Review: The Sasquatch Triangle 10-25-07
This was a great show, with John Horrigan as the guest to discuss the recent Mass Monster Mash as well as some Bigfoot stories he has heard in his research. The show got a late start due to some technical issues, but we got things off the ground after a half-hour. John discussed how disappointed he was in the outcome for the Mass UFO show, but was pleased about the attendance for the Mass Monster Mash. he told some pretty compelling stories as well. Don's next show will be next Thursday at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Review: Let's Talk Bigfoot 10-24-07
This was a wonderful show, with the one and only John Green discussing his research into the Sasquatch, including his research into the Patterson/Gimlin Movie, his early days of researching and finding tracks, his opinions on today's researchers and research techniques and other things in the Sasquatch field. He explained that he is most assuredly pro-kill, and also discussed Bob Titmus and his efforts and his friendship with Titmus. It was a tremendous show, full of great info, and a true chance to hear a true legend in Sasquatch research. Melissa and Teresa's next show will ne next Wednesday, Halloween Night appropriately enough, with guests Mike Bankston and Steve Hyde, at 10:00 EST/9:00 Central at the link to the right.

Review: Sasquatch Experience 10-23-07
This was a great show, which we led off with a discussion of those photos from Rick Jacobs of what is turning out more and more to be a bear. We also discussed a bit about our MySpace ventures, as well as something called Operation Pennsylvania Primate, which is being started up by Sean and James and is tentatively scheduled to begin next Spring. We then got into the discussion on the late Rene Dahinden, discussing his life, as well as is accomplishments in the Sasquatch field, along with his eminently quotable sayings. A fellow named Ian called in and told us about another set of photos which also showed up on the BFRO website from Lake Chelan, Washington, of something which appears to be a possible blobsquatch, but is undetermined at this time. The rest of the hour was more discussion of Rene, as well as a poem from the pamphlet of Rene's funeral which Sean read. It was a fun show, and we really enjoyed it. Our next program (and our last Anniversary Month show) will be Sunday at our regular time of 9:00 EST/8:00 Central with a roundtable discussion of the important historical figures in the Sasquatch field, with our guests Larry Lund, Kathy Strain and hopefully Bobbie Short, unless she has to evacuate her home due to the wildfires in her area (we are praying for you, Bobbie!!!) The link to the show can be found at the right, and as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Lake Chelan Photos
With all the hoopalah going on about the "Jacob's Creature Photos", a caller named Ian joined the show tonight and brought these photos to our attention. It seems that these photos collected by the BFRO went with little attention paid. The witness then sent to them to the AIBR, where more attention was given to them. That's all the news we have on these photos as of now - with a still posted above.
For more information please go to:
Once we know all the facts - we here at SQuatchMEDIA will post our opinions.
Thanks All!

One other photo of the Jacobs collection
This photo is of what appears to be the animal bending over and seemingly playing with a young one. I would encourage all of my readers to click on the photo, save it to your hard drive, and use your photo enhancement program to closely examine it, especially the facial area. I closely examined it, and it appears to have a snout and ears on top of the head. The creature has its head bent down, and appears to be looking down on the object lying on the ground and playing with it. Is it a bear? You decide.
Review: The XZone 10-22-07
This was a very interesting segment, with Rob interviewing Rick Jacobs, whose recent trailcam photos have caused quite a stir in the Bigfoot Community (though most of us agree it is NOT a Sasquatch). Rick was asked about this by me, because I called in, and he says he is not claiming they are of a Sasquatch, although a certain organization is claiming just that. All of the possibilities of what this could be were brought up, including the possibility of a CGI or Photoshop job. Bill Green also called in and gave his opinion. It was a great segment, very enjoyable.

Editorial: Anything is "Possible"
A lot of the time, supposed evidence comes in to different Sasquatch research group, and it is immediately put under scrutiny from certain individuals in the Sasquatch Community, and rightfully so. All supposed pieces of evidence should be scrutinized. However, there is a small group of researchers who seem to give evidence the label of "possible"-even if it is a blatant or obvious hoax or misidentification or faked track. Again, when it comes to this field of inquiry, anything is "possible," but I get a bit sick of things being "possible"-I want to see something definitive, something that can be considered absolute proof, something that cannot be disputed. Everything we have right now is "possible" evidence-footprint casts, films, videos, fecal material, hair samples, even eyewitness accounts. What we do NOT have is proof, absolute proof we can hang our hats on and say, "Wow, that looks good." Until the day we get the absolute proof, we will continue to stay stuck in the world of possibilities when it comes to this mystery.
Editorial: Has a juvenile Sasquatch been caught on camera?
A new series of photos have surfaced this week, shown on the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization website which appear to show some kind of object on all fours. The photos are from a game-cam from northwest Pennsylvania. It is a dark, rather large object, which appears to some to be bearlike, but when compared to a photo of an actual bear which was also taken with the same game-cam, it does not seem to fit the characteristics of a bear, unless the bear is extremely mangy and sick (and that possibility has been brought up). The photos appear to show some kind of apelike or primate-like individual on all fours, which could indicate a juvenile Sasquatch, but perhaps not. It could also indicate an escaped primate, such as a chimp or monkey. There is probably a zoo or wildlife preserve in the area which may be missing a chimp or monkey and just has not reported it yet. It is an intriguing series of photos, no doubt, but we do not have enough information to say one way or the other what it is. The photos show SOMETHING, but we do not know what, and will not know what until a body is brought in. See my next editorial for my assessment of "possible" evidence...

Review: Sasquatch Experience 10-21-07
This was a wonderful show, with Sean and I discussing the Patterson/Gimlin Movie briefly, discussing its impact on the world in general. We also discussed a recent Yahoo News Article about the film, as well as an Editorial I wrote about how Sasquatch defends itself. We also discussed the new possible juvenile Sasquatch photos from Northwest Pennsylvania, and had callers such as Steve Kulls (who actually called in twice) and Don Keating, who also briefly discussed the as-yet-unreleased New Mexico footage, as well as these new photos. It was a great and fun show, and we enjoyed it. Our next program is Tuesday night at 8:00 EST/7:00 Central with a tribute to Rene Dahinden, at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Editorial: How does Sasquatch Defend Itself?
All animals have ways to defend themselves, whether it is scent glands, claws, sharp teeth or even the ability to play dead. These traits are mostly seen in smaller animals with natural predators. The question I am posing in this editorial is: how does Sasquatch defend itself? Well, there are those who think that since it is at the top of the food chain, it would not need to defend itself because it would be the dominant force in the forest, and would not have any natural predators. But, these creatures actually DO have at least one natural predator, and we see it every day when we look in the mirror-Man. We have big guns and rifles which are perfectly capable of killing large animals such as deer, bear, coyote, wolf and elk. Our guns may also be able to kill a Sasquatch which comes into our rifle sights. So how do these creatures defend themselves? Well, for one thing, they are largely nocturnal, and they use the cover of darkness to move around out of sight of human eyes. However, for those times when they are seen, they have one of three options-they can either run very fast, hide behind a grove of trees or bushes to where humans cannot see them, and possibly letting go a scent which can overpower their attackers. Some speculate they also use infrasound to disorient and confuse humans, but this has never been conclusively proven. Still, people have been known to feel that disorienting and nauseating sensation in Sasquatch territory, so it is possible that these creatures do use infrasound. Of course, if they really wanted to, these creatures could just tear a person to shreds with their bare hands, but they choose not to do that, showing great restraint, even when faced with a rifle-toting hunter. So I think this editorial answers the basic question of how these creatures defend themselves, but of course more will be known when a body is brought in.
Editorial: Yahoo News Gets It ALMOST Right
Yesterday, Yahoo News acknowledged the 40th Anniversary of the Patterson/Gimlin Movie with an article. I will present the full text of the article here, with special highlights:
As you may notice, I put a few corrections in the article in bold letters. The point is, Yahoo News got it ALMOST right this time, except for a couple of minor mistakes, which is better than saying that Roger Patterson confessed on his deathbed that it was a hoax, as the media did after the death of Ray Wallace nearly 5 years ago. The media seems to be getting better, at least in some aspects, but still has a long way to go in their fact-checking, especially on the subject of Sasquatch. But of course, they still get it wrong in many other aspects of news, whether it be politics or entertainment or world news, or even news that happened across the street. But the writer of this article seemed to really care about the subject (with two minor exceptions) of the P/G Movie and for the most part did his homework. If we can convince the news media to keep getting it more right and more right, we might get more results and better reporting, not just on Sasquatch, but on other, more important pieces of news. Just something to think about.
40 years on, 'Bigfoot' film still the benchmark for believers
by Rob Woollard Sat Oct 20, 1:30 PM ET
LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) - Forty years after two cowboys filmed an unidentified creature ambling through a California forest, hunters of "Bigfoot" say the grainy (this film is NOT grainy, except for the third-generation copies which are seen on some documentaries; the copy seen on Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science, courtesy of John Green, is very clear, as are M.K. Davis' enhancements.) footage remains the cornerstone of their belief in the legendary ape-like beast's existence.
The subject of numerous hoax theories and investigations, Roger Patterson and Tom (should be Bob) Gimlin's film, shot at Willow Creek in the expanse of the Six Rivers National Forest on October 20, 1967, has been debunked, derided and dismissed.
But so far it has never been successfully duplicated, and it is that fact, that Bigfoot devotees say is crucial.
Daniel Perez, the editor of the BigfootTimes.net website and an avowed follower of the beast known as Sasquatch, describes the Patterson-Gimlin footage as the missing piece of the Bigfoot puzzle.
"This is the cornerstone of the entire case for Bigfoot," Perez told AFP. "People say 'It's just a guy in a suit'. Well I beg to differ. If it's a man in a costume, why can't anyone duplicate the film?"
Perez, who will address a conference of Bigfoot believers at Willow Creek on Saturday to mark the film's 40th anniversary, claims that enhancements of the original, jerky footage show the creature's muscles expanding, rippling and contracting from one frame to the next.
"You can't do that with a costume," Perez says. "A costume conceals rather than reveals."
Tom Yamarone, a member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, a US group of enthusiasts who record sightings and embark on hunts for the creature, echoed Perez's argument.
"The Patterson-Gimlin footage, despite it's shakiness, is what we would refer to as the gold standard for visual evidence," says Yamarone.
Yet others are not convinced. In his 2004 book "The Making of Bigfoot" author Greg Long claims to have identified the 'man in the suit' as a worker from Washington state, Bob Hieronimus.
Long also casts a critical eye over Patterson's role in the affair, noting the extraordinary coincidence that he had set out into the forest to shoot a documentary about Bigfoot and returned with footage of the creature
Robert Stein, an expert in trick photography, echoed Long's scepticism in an interview.
"Roger Patterson sets out to make a Bigfoot documentary," he says. "He immediately stumbled upon a Bigfoot. Not only that, he stumbled upon a Bigfoot that was out in the open in bright, clear sunshine, perfect weather for filming. He didn't just beat the odds. He gave the odds a royal whipping."
Patterson, who died of cancer in 1972, is portrayed in Long's book as a chronically unemployed rodeo rider determined to profit from an elaborate hoax.
Gimlin has always insisted the film was genuine, denying any knowledge of Long's claim that Patterson had in fact ordered a gorilla suit from a costume supplier.
And experts in special effects have questioned the 'man-in-a-suit' theory, saying the level of sophistication displayed in the film would likely have been beyond the reach of ordinary hoaxers.
Ryan Peterson, a freelance make-up effects artist who has worked on films such as "Mighty Joe Young" and "Men In Black," believes that if the film was a hoax, the perpetrators were operating years ahead of their time.
"In my opinion, the technology and artistry were not available in 1967 to create such a convincing Bigfoot costume," Peterson wrote in the Salt Lake Tribune this week.
Perez, a 44-year-old electrician who has been chronicling Bigfoot since childhood, says he is open to arguments that the film is a hoax.
"I would be willing to change my view on the subject of the film if they were able to duplicate it," he says. "But you expect me to believe that a broke cowboy and his friend Bob Gimlin make this sophisticated movie? Come on."

Sasquatch Experience Tonight...
Now that October 20th is over, it is back to business on our show, as Sean, James and I have kind of an open-mic night (with perhaps some discussion about the P/G Movie) planned, starting at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Review: The Sasquatch Experience 10-20-07
This was a great show, with just myself interviewing M.K. Davis about the 40th Anniversary of the Patterson/Gimlin Movie. We talked about the new DVD he is involved with John Johnsen in. We also discussed M.K.'s theories on what he thought "Patty" was, as well as his methods on working on the film. Johnsen himself called in and we discussed his work on the documentary, as well as his legal wranglings (or lack thereof) over the film. It was a great show, full of great information. Our next show is tomorrow night, with no scheduled guest, but we may turn it into a combination continuation of a discussion over the P/G Movie and an open-mic. The show starts at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Famous (and semi-famous) birthdays today
Jerry Orbach, better known as Lennie Briscoe on TV's Law & Order was born on this day in 1935. Also, Earl Hindman, better known as the mostly-hidden Wilson W. Wilson, the neighbor on Home Improvement was also born on this day in 1942. Both of those men are, unfortunately, no longer with us. However, the Bigfoot Community's very own Autumn Williams was born on this day in 19?? She is 29 (again! LOL) and is a great researcher and an even better person. Happy birthday to all!!!
Some corrections on my "40 Years Ago Today..." Post from Roger Knights (Thanks, Roger!!!)
Hi Henry,
Thanks for citing me as an authority! I liked your post, but there
are a few things I didn't like about it, which I suggest you correct.
You needn't credit me:
1. Pendulous breasts. This technically (I think) only applies to
breasts that hang straight down--Patty's hang only 45 to 60 degrees.
I'd call them "matronly" maybe.
2. Patty's look of scorn (see Perez, p. 10): This was given when RP
had the camera off and was madly running after her. It wasn't caught
on film, but instead caused him to stop in his tracks and get the
camera going again. Both RP & Gimlin attest that the creature looked
back at them twice--but the first look-back wasn't filmed. Many
people don't realize this, so you should make a point of spelling it
out.
3. (based on Perez, p. 11-12): After Gimlin returned when Patterson
called him back, their next step was to chase down the horses (with
RP presumably riding behind Gimlin--your comment that they both
remounted their horses is incorrect), which had fled upstream.
Then they loaded a new roll and filmed the tracks.
Then they went back to the truck and got plaster.
Then they cast the tracks.
Then they followed the creature's footprints, eventually dismounting
and going up a rough, steep hillside, at which point they abandoned
the quest. (They had to get to town and get the film shipped.)
Then they went back and filmed RP holding the cured tracks.
Then they rode back to camp and drove to town.
4. Here is additional detail you might give: The rain started hard
about midnight, and P&G left at about 6 AM, arriving in Yakima about
14 hours later (confirmed to me by Gimlin), after dark, around 8 PM.
5. The third bigfooter present at the initial screening was Jim
McClarin.
6. I wouldn't say that "many" anthropologists and specialists studied
the film. Few would look at it. I'd change that "many" to "a few".
7. Lyle Laverty was interviewed by Jeff Meldrum and told him (it's in
Perez's newsletter--and Laverty confirmed it to me by e-mail) that he
photographed the tracks on Monday, the 23rd, which was his first
workday. He took four photos, one of which has become famous.
Back to the start: You might mention that the tree-root system was
"room-high"--Gimlin's words--and concealed their approach perfectly.

In Celebration of Bigfoot’s Patty
40 Years Ago Today...
40 Years Ago Today...
By Henry May, Based On Information Gleaned from Sasquatch: The
Apes Among Us By John Green, Meet The Sasquatch by Chris
Murphy In Association with John Green and Thomas Steenburg and
Personal Testimony From Bob Gimlin
Roger Clarence Patterson and Robert Emory Gimlin, two
cowboys/ranchers from Yakima, Washington, were riding through Six
Rivers National Forest in Del Norte County, California, 150 miles north
of San Francisco, shooting a documentary on Bigfoot. At around 1:20
P.M. Pacific Time on Friday, October 20, 1967, Patterson and Gimlin
encountered a tree root system in the dirt, almost like a crow's nest
with logs jammed together. They rode around this, and encountered a
large, hair-covered creature standing by Bluff Creek. The creature,
startled, began to walk away. The horses went absolutely ballistic, and
began to buck. The packhorse ran away, as did Patterson's steed,
after it either threw Roger off or he jumped off, but not before
Patterson grabbed his movie camera out of his saddlebag. Gimlin was
able to maintain control over his horse eventually after a mighty
struggle. Patterson, on the chase after the creature with the camera,
stumbled several times and even fell on the uneven terrain, which
caused him to have to switch his camera off a couple of times (those
who have watched the film in slow motion have noticed at a couple of
junctures blank spots in the film, which indicate the film was stopped
because either Patterson's finger slid off the trigger or he was
conserving film). Patterson finally steadied himself on a log, and
filmed the creature walk across his field of sight. Gimlin had by this
time established control over his horse, and crossed the creek on his
horse, at which point the creature turned and looked at him, revealing
two large, pendulous breasts swinging and undulating (as seen in
Frame 352, shown here). The creature gave Patterson a look he
described as a look of contempt and scorn, as if, in his words, "You
know how it is when the umpire tells you 'One more word and you're
out of the game!' That's the way it felt." (He told this to John Green,
who quoted Patterson in his chapter on the Patterson/Gimlin Movie in
his opus Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us). Gimlin dismounted and
removed his rifle from its scabbard, but did not point it at the creature.
The creature kept on walking, being filmed by Patterson, until
Patterson ran out of film. Gimlin intended to chase the creature down,
but Patterson called him back, not wanting to be left alone out there
without his horse or rifle in case of attack. Patterson and Gimlin then
cast a couple of the creature's tracks, and then reloaded his film
camera and filmed the trackway. Patterson and Gimlin remounted
their horses, went and retrieved the packhorse and followed the
creature's tracks for several miles until losing them among the rocks.
Later, Bob Titmus investigated the site and found tracks leading to the
hillside above, where it appeared that the creature had sat down and
watched Patterson and Gimlin. Patterson and Gimlin then went to
Willow Creek and called Al Hodgson, with Patterson excitedly
exclaiming "Al, I got a picture of the son-of-a-buck!" They met Al at his
general store and went to Hodgson's home to discuss the events of
the day. After that, they went to a local airport and had the film flown to
Yakima to Patterson's brother-in-law Al DeAtley to be processed in
Seattle. Then the pair went back to their camp, but were surprised by
a late-night torrential downpour. All of their equipment got wet, but
Gimlin remembered the tracks left out on the sandbar and went and
covered them with pieces of bark. Patterson and Gimlin, in Gimlin's
truck, left the area as quickly as possible, encountering mudslides
which threatened to push them off the mountain roads. They reached
Yakima on Saturday the 21st, and Gimlin went home to rest as he
caught a bit of a cold in the rain. Patterson also went home to rest.
The next day, October 22nd, a Sunday, Patterson, along with John
Green, Rene Dahinden and DeAtley all studied the film in DeAtley's
basement (Gimlin was still at home resting). Many anthropologists and
specialists studied the film, and most called it a hoax, but could never
figure out how it could have been hoaxed. Lyle Laverty went to the
filmsite Saturday the 21st, and took a rather famous photo of a track
with what was described later as a mid-tarsal break, and Titmus went
there about 9 days later and cast some of the best tracks of the film
subject, including the one with mid-tarsal break. 40 years later, it is still
the center of debate, whether it is called the Patterson Film, the
Patterson Movie, the Patterson footage or (phrases coined by Rene
Dahinden) the Patterson/Gimlin Film or Movie. Roger Patterson died
of Hodgkins' Disease on January 15th, 1972, going to his grave
swearing to the authenticity of this film. Bob Gimlin still lives in
Yakima, quiet and private, reticent to give interviews, still attesting to
the authenticity of the film. The most prominent current investigators of
this film are M.K. Davis, Chris Murphy, Daniel Perez and Roger
Knights. We celebrate this amazing footage today and every day.
Happy 40th, "Patty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Review: The XZone 10-19-07
This was a rather interesting segment, with myself and Kal Korff discussing the Patterson/Gimlin Movie, and I got to talk about how I thought it was real, and Rob and Kal countered that with their assessments of it. Bill Green called in and he and Rob had a rather spirited debate, in which they were both passionate about their positions (I mistakenly took this for rudeness instead of passion, and I apologize). It was very spirited, very intense between Bill and Rob, with neither side really gaining or losing an inch. Bill actually showed some rather good debate skills, to be honest. Pretty great show.
Review: The Sasquatch Triangle 10-18-07
This was a great show, with guest Daniel Perez who discussed mainly the Patterson/Gimlin Movie, his investigations into it, his relationship with Bob Gimlin (and an upcoming interview in the Bigfoot Times newsletter with Gimlin) and other aspects of the Sasquatch mystery. Thunderhawk called in and asked Daniel a question about his Mysterious Encounters appearance in which he definitely said on camera that this was the spot (referring to the actual spot the film was taken on). He also discussed other films and still photos he has seen and investigated. It was a great show, full of great information. The next show will feature John Horrigan once again, who will discuss the recent Mass Monster Mash. That show will air next Thursday at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Review: Let's Talk Bigfoot 10-17-07
This was a great show, with guest Scott "'Squatch" Herriott, who told the story of what happened to he and Darryl Owen the day they saw and videotaped two entities on a lonely hillside in northern California in 1992. Scott also discussed a bit the Patterson/Gimlin Movie, which he feels is probably a hoax, as well as his documentaries, including his non-'Squatch-related videos on the Pacific Crest Trail. He was also cracking quite a few jokes during the whole interview, which is a natural for a former stand-up comedian like himself. One caller, a fellow named John from the San Francisco area, also called in and asked Scott about possible future projects. I really enjoyed this show. Melissa and Teresa's next guest will be the one and only "Mr. Sasquatch," John Green, next Wednesday at 10:00 EST/9:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Today is...
BOB GIMLIN'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Happy birthday to the man who was partially responsible for the most intriguing piece of wildlife footage ever taken. Hope it is a good one for you, sir.

Review: Squatch Detective Radio 10-15-07
This was a pretty wonderful show, with the first 15 minutes devoted to a fellow named Lindsay who was one of the filmmakers of the New Mexico footage of a possible Sasquatch, who described the circumstances surrounding it and saying that it might be released before the end of the week. The rest of the show was dedicated to members of NESRA, such as Mike Killen, Chris Bartow, Chuck Adinolfi, Corey Alairie and Kevin (can't remember his last name), who discussed their expedition from this past weekend in the Adirondacks, as well as an interesting deep growl which they all mistook for thunder. Bill Green joined the discussion within the last 10 minutes of the show as well, asking the various members questions about seeing possible glowing eyes and other anomalies. It was a great show, full of great information. The next program will have Bob Coyne, a former police chief from New Hampshire who is also Thunderhawk's co-host on Blog Talk Radio's The Bigfoot Mystery next Monday at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Review: Sasquatch Experience 10-14-07
This was a pretty great show, with James and I discussing the life and career of Grover Krantz. We discussed his controversial theory that a Sasquatch should be shot to prove it to the skeptics, as well as Krantz's assertion that Gigantopithecus was a perfect candidate for the Sasquatch. We also talked about Krantz's scientific contributions in the field of Sasquatch, as well as his academic contributions. We had several callers, including Don Keating, Steve Kulls and that annoying caller from the 517 area code who seemed to get his jollies from harassing us over the air. Sean joined us for about the last 15 minutes and joined the discussion. It was a great show, a lot of fun. Our next program will air Saturday, October 20, at a special start time of 8:00 EST/7:00 Central with our guest M.K. Davis to discuss the Patterson/Gimlin Movie, and that can be found at the link to the right. As always, we do encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
