Review: The Bigfoot Mystery 3-9-08
This was a great show, with guest TJ Biscardi and several callers, including Steve Kulls, Doug Bilby (Bullet Maker), Eric Altman and myself, and I asked TJ about hair and fecal matter found in the field by the Searching For Bigfoot group. TJ said they had, but that they were inconclusive. Darin, JC and TJ talked a good bit about the research and how we should research BIGFOOT, NOT researchers. It was a terrific show, and I enjoyed it. Darin is working on getting Beast of Bray Road researcher and author Linda Godfrey next week at 7:00 EST/6:00 Central at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/The_Bigfoot_Mystery You can also download past shows and subscribe on iTunes. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Editorial: What a "Crappy" Topic
Another piece of possible Sasquatch evidence is fecal matter or droppings. Many samples that are found in the woods are usually identified as nothing more than common animals like bears or coyotes or even horses(!). But, occasionally, possible Sasquatch dung is identified as coming from an unknown creature. It is noted especially for its large size, much larger than common animals. Robert W. Morgan has described finding a large sample of possible 'Squatch crap once which filled a large container. He drove quite a distance to take it to Dr. Grover Krantz and says in a laughing manner that he had never driven so far to deliver a bunch of crap. I can't remember what came of the fecal matter or what the analysis on it was, but I do know that in some cases possible 'Squatch crap has been found with bits of animal bones and hair as well as vegetation, even strange parasites (one sample had parasites native only to Asia, which makes one wonder how parasites from Asia found their way to the U.S.). Of course, the analysis done on possible 'Squatch crap has not yielded any clues as to its origin or what made it, all it tells us is what the creature that did it ate. It would be great to be able to extract DNA from these fecal samples, but it has not been done so far, and I am not so sure if it will ever happen. Of course, again, the only thing that will satisfy scientists is a body or a piece of a body. Fecal matter won't do it, but it will perhaps help the process along. Should be an interesting conundrum for sure.
Editorial: A "Hairy" Situation
Strange pieces of evidence of possible Sasquatches are found in the forests and near homesteads all the time, but one of the most intriguing is hair samples which come back as unidentified primate when examined. DNA can be extracted from hair, but it all depends on what part of the hair is collected, and also if there is a corruption factor on the hair, such as contamination. Many such hair samples have been found in the forests and near homesteads, whether on active expeditions searching for the Sasquatch or found by chance, and a good majority of the time comes up as common known animals such as elk, bear, coyote or even common domesticated pets. Sometimes, it also comes up as synthetic fibers or even human hair. However, on occasion, a hair sample is found that defies analysis or comes up unknown primate, which as we all know North America has no primates currently living here (except possibly the Sasquatch). Sometimes, the hairs are found in conjunction with sightings or even footprint discoveries, which lends a bit more credibility to the sighting in question. Of course, it is highly recommended that the hairs are handled with the greatest of care and not touched by human hands because of the risk of contamination. The best way to handle a hair sample is to wear rubber gloves and also use tweezers. If no tweezers, take a brown paper bag (not plastic) and surround the hair with that and collect the hair in that manner. The reason for no plastic bags is because plastic does not breathe and can tend to not preserve the evidence as well. The thing is, as good as hair sample DNA could be, it still does not take the place of a body or substantial remains. We do need the physical evidence, unfortunately. But, the hair samples are interesting and potentially valuable.

Review: Beyond The Edge Radio 3-7-08
This was a great show, with Georgia paranormalist Joey Ward, who discussed his experiences with ghosts and the paranormal, as well as his investigations into that activity. He also discussed a bit about Bigfoot and how it might tie into the paranormal and might be more to it than is thought. Scott Hackenslash provided movie news and reviews on the new DVD Eastern Promises which Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts, as well as a sneak peek at the upcoming Incredible Hulk film starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner. It was a great show. Next week, Eric and Sean will have the Squatch Detective Steve Kulls and founder of Sasquatch Watch of Virginia Billy Willard beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/beyondtheedgeradio Past episodes can be downloaded at the site, as well as through iTunes.

Road Trip called off due to weather
Due to the bad weather and potentially frozen roads, I have decided not to go with M.K. tomorrow to the Mississippi Meeting due to the weather. Disappointing, to be sure, but I will get over it. Safety is more important at this point. Maybe next time.
