Woman Reports Bigfoot Sighting in NE Ohio

The Nebraska Bigfoot case is picking up steam as a hair sample from the site has been sent off for analyzing and other local residents are chiming in with their own experiences. So far, there have been reports of loud unidentified screams from wooded areas and other possible footprints. So why all the sudden activity recently? It actually isn't all recent--most of the other reports are from the past, which if taken as truth established a long term record of possible Bigfoot habitation in that section of Nebraska woods. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Weird Australia never fails to disappoint in Fortean mysteries and Yowie is at the top of the list with sightings dating back two centuries, including this rather lively report of Stone-throwing Yowie stalks four terrified stockmen back in 1892. Apparently Yowie has a much shorter temper and far less tolerance for pesky human interlopers in their territory.



Bigfoot researcher Cliff Barackman thinks that the recent discovery of orangutan behavior that communicates their future travel plans to fellow group mates may one day help to predict Bigfoot movements in the wild. On a related note, it's long been accepted that some animals, including primates, have very human emotions including awareness of death. Laphams Quarterly shares some absolutely staggering examples of thesemournful creatures, including a group of chimps who appeared to hold a funeral for one of their own.



Joshua Stevens took on an interesting side project in his spare time and we are sure glad he did. Stevens has mapped out the data set of every Bigfoot report listed by BFRO: all 3,313 from 1921 to the present, and wow is it impressive. An absolute must-see! This list of the Top Ten Alleged Bigfoot Shootings from Bigfoot Buzz over the past 125 years in the US is a nice complement to the map, but beware the accompanying photos which are mostly of known hoaxes or are totally unrelated (as a sharp-eyed commenter points out, the first photo is actually a lynx).
A Cleveland, Ohio couple think they may have proof of a particularly large, hairy, and loud neighbor they've been hearing but never seen over the past 5 years--Bigfoot. After years of growling and breaking branches in their backyard, Bigfoot apparently left a footprint in their yard measuring 7.5 inches wide. They aren't the only ones to see or hear Bigfoot in the area--he's been spotted so often he's earned himself the nickname of "Ohio Grassman". Check out the video of this report here: Big Footprint Sets Off Sasquatch Suspicions.

We are a week-and-a-half away from the 2nd-Annual Oklahoma Bigfoot Symposium...

...and I cannot wait. I will be heading out to the Sooner State with Paul Hulsey on Wednesday the 2nd of October and spending a couple of nights in the woods, then we are headed to Fouke, Arkansas on Friday the 4th to meet Julius E. 'Smokey' Crabtree
and see the famous Monster Mart. Then the Symposium is Saturday and Sunday, with a pretty exciting lineup of speakers. The link for full details ishttp://www.okbigfootsymposium.com/ Hope to see you there!!!!!

Sad news in the Bigfoot Community...

It is with deep sadness that I learned a dear friend - our dear friend in bigfooting - Joyce Kearney passed away on Friday. Please think a good thought, say a prayer, enjoy her smile here and remember a gregarious, vivacious, dedicated soul who has gone ahead. I'm still processing the news and will pass along more details when I know them. She leaves behind her beloved Chester, her loved ones - sisters & a brother, two daughters, nieces, nephews - and all her friends. She was a BIG part of some historic events - the 2007 P-G Film 40th Anniversary, the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up in 2009 and the Sasquatch Summit in 2011...always there to support the events we put on. A longtime sasquatch/bigfoot researcher with a penchant for truth and evidence. Rest in Peace, Joyce!

Bigfoot's bLog has released a very detailed and lengthy statement from a "friend" who happens to be a "tenured faculty member in biochemistry at a research university, with a Ph.D. from Harvard" that neatly cuts down Ketchum's assertions. The unnamed Harvard PhD concludes the DNA samples are likely contaminated, to put it simply. While we are impressed by the thoroughness of this report, unfortunately it does not carry much weight when feted by an anonymous source. Why not put a name on it? On a more encouraging note, Loren Coleman reminds us of David Attenborough's changed views on the possibility of Sasquatch: When You Were Young…Old Attenborough Yeti Thoughts Become Renewed. After years of encountering Yeti evidence in his travels, Attenborough now believes that, "it is not impossible that it might exist. If you have walked the Himalayas there are these immense rhododendron forests that go on for hundreds of square miles which could hold the Yeti.”














13 Years Ago This Weekend...

The BFRO found an impression in the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest in Skamania County, Washington which has become known as the Skookum Cast named so after the location it was found in, Skookum Meadows. This was found in the early morning hours of September 22nd, 2000, by Rick Noll and Derek Randles, based on a suggestion by Thom Powell to put fruit in the middle of a muddy patch surrounded by dry dirt. It has been the subject of controversy ever since.

Matt Bille Reviews Abominable Science

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on September 8th, 2013

Loxton and Prothero have written a very good book, which I reviewed on Amazon as a 4.5 star effort (I’ll explain why I had to downgrade it just a bit) that goes on the “must reading” list for anyone interested in cryptozoology. I’ve been following this field for decades now without seeing anything that fills this niche – that of the scientific, skeptical (in the good sense of the word) consideration of the entire field and its most spectacular maybe-creatures.

In light of the recent Lincoln Bigfoot encounter, Loren Coleman disagrees with Jeff Meldrum's claim that Nebraska is unlikely to have real Bigfoot sightings because there simply isn't enough deeply wooded areas to support the creature. Coleman provides a plethora of reported sightings from the area to easily counter Meldrum's remarks...Cryptozoonews also reveals new Sasquatch sightings in Drayton Valley, Alberta that includes reports of a Sasquatch family group. Like Nebraska, Drayton Valley has had numerous Bigfoot sightings over the last few decades. Meanwhile, a local resident of Walla Walla, Washington says he's got the nearby Mill Creek fish die-off problem all figured out...clearly, Sasquatch is a threat to Mill Creek’s pristine water, because, he says, BFRO said that Mill Creek is a major meeting place for lots of Bigfoot. That makes us picture crowds of Bigfoot having a family reunion, frying up fish, and dirtying up the water with whatever Bigfoot litter consists of. We hope they are all caught and ticketed accordingly.



An Anniversary of Terror Mysterious Universe
Nick Redfern revisits a time of high strangeness in the Welsh town of Rhayader in 1988 when something downright Lovecraftian terrorized the area and killed livestock in such a bizarre way that people suspected it was a giant serpent...Meanwhile, a Lincoln, Nebraska sheriff is marking a different sort of cryptid anniversary--the first time he's ever investigated a report of Bigfoot. A teen's hairy run-in with 7-footer probed as Bigfoot encounterwhen the boy reported seeing a Sasquatch crossing the road in front of his car next to the Platte River. The investigation turned up a hair sample which is now being tested.



Well-known for his passion for Forteana, mainly UFOs and Nessie, Charlie Sheen traveled up to Alaska to hunt for the mythical "Otter Man", which is described as half man, half otter. Alas, Charlie was unsuccessful in his mission but has an explanation, "It obviously knew our group was far too skilled to be snowed in this fashion so it stayed hidden like a sissy." Maybe Otter Man just isn't a fan of the paparazzi either...Nick Redfern is pondering an age-old mystery that originated with smugglers centuries ago in the UK who either made up the stories or actually encountered frightening black dogs. The result was centuries of enduring legends about the Smugglers and strange creatures.
