Hello everyone,
First off all of us at the Ohio Bigfoot Conference and the Ohio Bigfoot Organization would to cordially thank you for coming out to Salt Fork State Park and supporting the Ohio Bigfoot Conference 2014. It was an epic event to say the least and easily shattered every record in Conference history. The Salt Fork Lodge said at least 3000 people came through for the event which was record for the Lodge in a single day. A week has now passed and I'm finally caught up in the sleep department and decided this would be a good day to send this out.
Everything about this event was staggering to say the least. We had 576 VIP & overflow attendees in three rooms and could have easily done 300 or more if we had the space. This is truly amazing and really shows how popular the Bigfoot subject has become. We thank you all for supporting the event and wish there was a way we could accommodate everyone interested, while at the same time have the perfect venue location like the Salt Fork Lodge.
All five speakers were speechless at what they thought of the event. All five want to come back including Bob Gimlin and Cliff Barackman. The hospitality that all of you showed during the three day weekend was first class all the way. As the main organizer of the event I'm so proud of all of you. Thank you so much!
Sunday's Ohio Bigfoot Festival was also a record with close to 400 people showing up and enjoying a great cookout provided by John & Robin Cartright of the United States Bigfoot Research Association and additional help from Steve & Lila Slatzer of Gia Russo Foods. The weather was perfect making Sunday a great day to say the least.
Things that will be changed for sure in 2015 will be-
1- The VIP Dinner at Theo's will be a paid buffet on the upper level to ensure plenty of seating, and a speedy dining experience. Having used the room upstairs after the dining service there's no doubt it will be plenty large enough.
2- The vendor area needs to be opened to vendors earlier for set-up and closed off to buyers until all vendors are set-up and ready to go. They were a little overwhelmed this year to say the least.
3- For clarification reasons, a 24 x 36 schedule of events & location will be placed on easels and posted on the main lobby and conference levels throughout the entire weekend for those less informed about the Conference happenings.
4- An additional 120 overflow seats will be made available on the 4th level and we will be guaranteed no more accidental bookings of other groups.
We are looking for feedback, suggestions, speaker suggestions for 2015, etc, etc..... We greatly appreciate your input and value your suggestions.
Also, a lot of people have been asking for Conference t-shirts. Mike Esordi mentioned making another round of Camo shirts if the minimum number requirement can be met. Please contact me if your interested in shirts and include your size & quantity.
I personally want to thank all of you. Lots of hard work goes into this event and the results have been spectacular. Although no event is perfect, be assured we will keep striving for the ultimate 'Ohio Bigfoot Conference"..... Take care and happy Spring...
Sincerely,
Marc A. DeWerth

'Bigfoot has Australian Genes' Daily Mail
So says Rex Gilroy, Bigfoot researcher. He says he's got the evidence to prove that the Yowie is Bigfoot's genetic first cousin, if not brother. The Yowie is having a great month in the media as this discovery was preceded by the supposed Yowie video taken by two hunters who claim they lured a Yowie into range of a trailcam by leaving food out for it. They captured what looks more like a blurry sloth than a large, hairy humanoid however...

Survivorman: Bigfoot Les Stroud
Les Stroud's latest project finally premiered last night in the US on the Science Channel and the Discovery channel and by all accounts (including ours), it was a huge success. After having an intense experience involving hearing unidentified growls during filming a segment of his originalSurivorman show, Alaskan Bigfoot Encounter, Stroud became deeply interested in solving the mystery of Bigfoot and this two-part show is the result. Along with Todd Standing, Les Stroud travels to a very remote area of Canada to investigate the site of Standing's many encounters with Bigfoot. Stroud and Standing find a couple of jaw-dropping examples ofTwisted trees (which incredibly, Stroud thinks may actually be a message to hunters who have traplines in the area) and footprints, and then Stroud has his "whoop!" call answered which startles and spooks both men. Each time they find possible evidence of Bigfoot activity, Stroud carefully thinks it over and gives the audience plausible explanations and then explains why those explanations don't apply. In other words, he attributes it to potential Bigfoot activity as he's eliminated other possibilities right off the bat. However, Stroud never comes right out and directly says it's Bigfoot, and in fact, he expresses some doubt and open skeptism to his companion Todd Standing's accounts, but the actual evidence he finds himself seems unmistakable. Les Stroud has established himself as a trustworthy and honest TV personality and survivalist and is well-respected by many and has never given his fans any reason to doubt his crediblity by being caught doing something like sleeping in hotel rooms when not filming (we're looking at you, Bear Grylls). So, when Stroud says he thinks Bigfoot might really exist, the world takes notice. It's his choice of cohost on this tv special that has some fans and skeptics scratching their heads, as Todd Standing does not have the same level of trustworthiness and has plenty of skeptics doubting his experiences and especially his video evidence, some of which critics like Bigfoot hunter Cliff Barackman finds "Muppet-Like".However, Todd Standing has his fair share of supporters too, including the notable Jeff Meldrum who hosted the Bigfoot North podcast with Standing as they interviewed Les Stroud yesterday. In fact, Jeff Meldrum has collaborated with Todd Standing and Sylvanic on an upcoming Bigfoot North documentary that promises to take Bigfoot research to a "level that the world has never seen before!" We haven't seen the documentary yet but we can safely say that Survivorman: Bigfoot is an absolute must-see. And as Les Stroud himself explains to the skeptics who question his decision to work with Todd Standing and the belief in Bigfoot at all, "Naysayers sit on the couch."
Jason Heal and Jason Dunn say they've got infrared film of a Yowie inspecting some apples the hunters left out to lure the creature into camera view. Apparently, apples are the new pancakes in the world of Bigfoot hunting because they certainly caught...something on their cam. Just what it is isn't clear. At all. By that we mean it's even blurrier than the usual Bigfoot footage we see so often. Do Bigfoot have some sort of blurring ability to mask their appearance or does this particular footage appear blurry to mask some obvious dead giveaways that this is anything but a genuine Yowie? In a much more believable encounter with a possible cryptid, Karl Shuker asks, Did I see undiscovered species of giant praying mantis in South Africa? Shuker and his mother spent some time at the Shamwari Game Preserve in 2008 and in a bit of strange coincidence like those described above, a gigantic praying mantis as large as a hand landed on a safari guide's hand next to Shuker. He didn't have time to get a closer look or a photo and is hoping someone out there has more information...Nick Redfern is leaning toward the theory that Nessie and her other lake monster cousins are truly monstrous-in the form of Freakish Giants, most specifically giant eels.
Was It A Bear, Or Bigfoot? Occult View
Skeptics like to claim sasquatch sighters are all wet. In this case, sasquatch was all wet. Paddling down a Wisconsin river a father and son saw something big and hairy emerge from the waters. Sadly, David's friends left their video camera at home. If only they were prepared, like boy scouts, and documented the encounter, the internet could apply MIT's New Software That Can Detect Bigfoot Hoax Videos to settle the argument once and for all. Ritoban Mukherjee shows how Eulerian Video Magnification can reveal if a bigfoot is someone in a suit, among other compelling applications outside of cryptozoology. Science can be fun, but everyone's a sucker for a good story. Our favorite wordsmith, Chris Woodyard, shares some Scandinavian monster hunting tales featuringWildmen In Norway And Selkies On Skis. As to what's a tall tale, and the Fort's honest truth, is left to you for contemplation.

Join Elusive1 & Henry May as they welcome back to the show David Moomey & returning guest Jim Whitehead . Jim has lived his entire life in the cross timbers of McClain county in an area with a local legend about a monster that roams the creek. He grew up hearing of his families encounters with the creature. He always had a love of science and dad and grandpa taught him about the woods in the old Choctaw ways. He went on to go to college, getting degrees in Biology, and Natural science.. He ran into a bigfoot one day in the bottoms and decided to learn more about the creature, turning his skills as a woodsman/ tracker and as a biologist to researching bigfoot. After independently researching bigfoot for about a year, Jim joined the MABRC and as the membership in the western region of Oklahoma grew, the group decided to promote him as the Western State Director in 2009, And he has held the position ever since. The primary goal of the MABRC Western Oklahoma Team is not necessarily finding proof, but rather studying these creatures and learning about their behaviors and needs. David Grew up in central Okla, He joined the Marines when he completed High School. Moved back after 4 yrs, He didn't know he had these things around him growing up but after he started researching he realized they were there while he was growing up and it all explains why he always was scared when he went into the woods. He take his 2 younger boys out with him a lot of the times to research, they are getting really good. He has with the MABRC for almost 3 yrs now and he does research with Jim when ever he can.

Book Review:The Sasquatch and other unknown hominoids (The Research on unknown hominoids) Edited by Vladimir Markotic and Grover Krantz
By H.M. 2005 on March 30, 2014
This book compiles several research papers from different authors, some of which were read at the Anthropology of the Unknown Conference at the University of British Columbia in 1978 while others were published previously in the Northwest Anthropological Research Notes Journal. Papers are published from editors Krantz and Markotic (Krantz has about 3 of his papers published here); Dmitri Bayanov and Igor Bourtsev have about 2 or 3 of their papers published as well, including a really excellent paper on the Patterson/Gimlin Film; Gordon Strasenburgh who also writes a really good paper on the P/G Film; John Green with an excellent paper on the Hominoids of China; Jay Miller; Grant Keddie; Loren Coleman; Carleton Coon; Marie Jeanne-Kaufmann and several others have papers published in this volume. This volume completes the publishing of papers not previously published in another volume, Manlike Monsters on Trial, but those who have both this and that volume have the complete picture of the contents of the first Bigfoot Conference ever held anywhere. I highly recommend purchasing this volume and, if you do not have it, Manlike Monsters on Trial to have a more complete record of these rare papers. Only thing that concerns me about this volume is the spelling errors, which there are a few of in here, but that does not really take away from this true treasure trove of information. I would give this one a solid 9 1/2 out of 10 stars.
