Calgary Bigfoot - Stabilized, Zoomed, Enhanced
This video has been making the rounds lately. I am so torn on it and I am going against my own policy of posting videos that I totally believe are 100% Squatch. It looks really good and the little girl has me sold that it "might" be a Squatch lol I just don't know! What do you all think??
Finding Bigfoot
Alrighty folks I must chime in on the Finding Bigfoot subject. I really try to keep this blog out of the Bigfoot political realm. But after seeing Facebook post after Facebook post talking about the show and the cast, and a majority of these people wanting to change the name to Not-Finding Bigfoot, I must give my opinion.
First things first, we must all remember that this is a TV show! TV shows are driven by ratings and thus money from advertisers. The producers want to entertain you the viewer and they design the show to do just that. The cast is most likely working under certain parameters that prohibit their normal Squatchin procedures and methods. Basically the cast is handcuffed by these parameters and the chances of them "Finding" Bigfoot is slim to none. I would love to know how many video and sound techs, producers, directors, etc accompany each of the cast when they are out searching the woods for a Bigfoot. This alone would be enough to prohibit any Squatcher from fulfilling their goal of actually finding a Bigfoot!
Another problem they face is the time constraints. They are only at a specific location for certain amount of time. In this limited amount of time they need to work on the logistics of their hunt. This could mean getting permission from landowners if needed, any permits for being on Federal or State Game Lands, and any other incidentals as far as where they are going to look for Bigfoot. Also they must coordinate the transportation of the whole crew not just the 4 cast members. Lining up four wheelers, horses, helicopter's, etc takes time and a great deal of planning. They also need to schedule and have the town hall meeting. The cast doesn't necessarily do all of these tasks, but as you can see it does effect their time in the woods.
So the fact that they can't find a Bigfoot should not be a reflection of the casts' Squatchin proficiency or professionalism. I know that each of them are avid outdoorsman, hikers, and most of all top notch Squatchers. If you had read my first blog post, "A Squatcher is Born," you would have read that Matt Moneymaker has been to my area several times. I did not have a chance to Squatch with Matt but my friends did and they had nothing but positive things to say about his woodsmanship and professionalism. He was here to find a Squatch and he was highly motivated to do so. He didn't need or have any camera crew following him around to do that. Does Matt come off as an arrogant SOB sometimes?? Hell yes he does, but that shouldn't diminish what he has done in this field for the past 25 years.
A few months after Matt's initial visit to the area, he brought Cliff with him. They spent five days here I believe, and they Squatched their butts off! They personally set camera traps all over the area and they hiked countless miles during that visit. Again, their only motivation was to document a Bigfoot. No TV crew, no fan fare, just two down to earth Squatchers.
You can read all about Cliff's visit here http://squatchinluver.blogspot.com/2014/03/north-american-bigfoot-bigfooting-in.html
I have heard from a bunch of people that Cliff is an extremely nice guy. My friends spent a couple days Squatchin with Cliff when he was here and had nothing but great things to say about him. I think everyone and their brother can tell what kind of guy Bobo is! I am not a huge fan of Renee only for the fact that she dismisses EVERY eye witness account. I don't think that is fair to the witnesses that have had an obvious encounter with a Bigfoot. I respect her for some of her skepticism though and she is a hardcore outdoorsman.
These guys have been doing this long before it became "cool" to do so. They have logged endless hours and miles doing what they love to do. I find it extremely insulting to tear them apart because of what you see on TV. Again, I am NOT saying that you have to personally like any of them. But for people to sit behind their computer screen and make fun of them because they haven't found Bigfoot is wrong. I am personally a little jealous that they get paid to do what I would love to do! Happy Squatchin....

Mike Wooley's terrifying Bigfoot encounter
Again stories like this one are the reason I believe 100% in Bigfoot without ever seeing one myself. This guy is telling the truth and there is nothing anyone can say to change my mind! Please watch!
Sasquatch Visits Seneca Tribe Land
I'm still up in the air about this picture. I don't believe it to be intentionally hoaxed or faked but I still don't know if it's a bear or Squatch. I must admit this video makes it hard to dispute that's it's a juvenile Squatch!
Death By Sasquatch (true stories from Maine)
I think it would be very naive of us to think that there aren't encounters with Sasquatch that don't turn out very good for us feeble bodied humans. Just like in rare instances with Bear, Sasquatch can be deadly. An old Bear with its teeth wore down from decades of chewing on bone and other hard material, will most definitely attack a human for food! Why would this be any different with a Sasquatch? It's the hard reality of the survival of this fittest and whether we like to admit it or not, we aren't at the top of the food chain 100% of the time. With that said this video will give you the willies!

Sasquatch startled when boy shoots gun
I love this video! The Squatch was observing this family shooting guns and then spooks and takes off. I personally think that it's the conbination of the gun shooting, the family talking, and the helicopter flying around that spooked it. It's senses probably got overloaded and it took flight. I don't say I blame it! But the video shows how dang fast these things can be....just watch!
Two Coon Hunters Have Bigfoot Sighting
This witness sounds pretty truthful and pretty convinced of what he saw. There are hundreds of these types of stories and witnesses every year around North America!

Classic Bigfoot Story- Ruby Creek
I had first heard of this story on a documentary a couple years ago. As a parent I can most definitely empathize with Mrs. Chapman and what she must of felt on that day in 1941. I assume the Squatch that ransacked the Chapman's home was desperate for food and was unable to fend for itself. Please read the fascinating and frightful story of the Chapmans at Ruby Creek.

Classic Bigfoot Stories-Albert Ostman
Again, I must beg for you experienced Squatchers patience. I know EVERYONE who is hardcore into this topic has read or heard about Albert Ostman, and his story about being "abducted" and taken to a Sasquatch families residence...for a lack of a better term. Although I have read his story several times I could read it several more and continue to be amazed. So I am posting Alberts story here for all to enjoy but especially for the newbies to the marvelous world of the Squatch.

RELIC HOMINIDS & GIANT WEAPONS
This is a guest post by a gentleman who is a wealth of information on the subject of Sasquatch. I am not exaggerating when I say this, he's an encyclopedia of Sasquatch information! He's a major contributor to the comment section of Shawn Evidences blog site and his persistent fight with the skeptics on that site has won myself and many others over as huge huge fans. I am honored that he took the time to write this piece for us. I personally think this post should be published in a science journal or something that's how good it is. So without further ado I present to you Relic Hominids & Giant Weapons by Joe Fitzgerald
According to Native American legends, Sasquatch were referred to as another tribe of people who understood how to use fire and have used various tools over the ages such as primitive forms of baskets. The Basket Ogress; a marauding giant common to the folklore of many Northwest Coast tribes, caught and carried people off in her enormous pack basket to eat them in her lair. It was seen as fortunate for many that she was slightly stupid and there are legends that tell of the occasional escape of her prey. There are some Northwest Coast legends where Basket Woman has a great mythological importance. We also have settler's accounts from 19th century printed media that tell of club wielding wildmen. Here is a link to one of D L Soucy's newspaper reports of the Grand Canyon from 1903, where a report of a wildman with a club is discussed;
There are researchers like Jim Vieira that have come across similar printed news media documenting the excavation of countless native American burial mounds where giant skeletons with giant tools and sometimes even weapons like giant hand axes were uncovered;
"South of San Luis Obispo in 1833 some soldiers discovered during excavations a skeleton 3.65 metres long surrounded by worked shells, heavy axes of stone and boulders covered in unintelligible writing.
About 60 miles Northwest of Santa Barbara soldiers digging a pit for the storage of gunpowder broke through a layer of cemented gravel and found a 12 foot human skeleton surrounded by carved shells, huge stone axes and blocks of porphyry covered with unintelligible symbols. The skull had double dentition, a double row of teeth on both upper and lower jaws. When local Indians started attaching religious significance to the find the authorities ordered it secretly buried. The giants discovered at Clearwater in Missouri also had double dentition. The giant was identified as male.
A giant skeleton was found surrounded by worked shells, heavy stone axes and boulders covered in unintelligible writing. This giant must have been one of the legendary Chumash race who inhabited the islands off the coast here as well as the mainland."

When considering the Australian Yowie there is a fascinating account of The Wildman of Monaro...
(you can find this among other historical accounts here; http://www.davesact.com/2013/
... that tells of a sighting of a gorilla-type being holding what appeared to be a nulla-nulla; this is an Aboriginal war/hunting club. Interestingly, we come across similar reports of giant weapons & tools being discovered in Australia;
"In old river gravels near Bathurst, NSW, huge stone artifacts -- clubs, pounders, adzes, chisels, knives and hand axes -- all of tremendous weight, lie scattered over a wide area. These weigh anything from 8, 10, 15, to 21 and 25 pounds, implements which only men of tremendous proportions could possibly have made and used. Estimates for the actual size of these men range from 10 to 12 feet tall and over, weighing from 500 to 600 lbs. A fossicker searching the Winburndale River north of Bathurst discovered a large quartzitised fossil human molar tooth, far too big for any normal modern man. A similar find was made near Dubbo, N.S.W."
http://www.6000years.org/
Furthermore; the images of Medieval European Woodwose almost always portray these beings as possessing a large stick-like club, along with depictions of them snatching woman and children which is amazingly consistent with American legends;
"Giant Hand-Axe from Sheringham, Norfolk. An altogether remarkable and gigantic hand-axe, discovered embedded in the beach below Beeston Hill, Sheringham, by Mr. J. P. T. Burchell, has been figured and described by Mr. J. Reid Moir (Proc. Prehistoric Soc. East Anglia, 7, Pt. 3). The implement measures in its greatest length 15J inches, in greatest width 6J inches, in greatest thickness 5J inches. Its weight is approximately 14 lb. It was derived originally from the base of the Cromer Forest bed, which rests upon the surface of the chalk. The implementiferous bed runs in beneath the Forest Bed strata and the glacial deposits which form the cliff, some 200 ft. in height. The material of the axe is of flint, the colour of the flaked surfaces being jet black. The ridges and outstanding parts are abraded, and it is striated in places. There is a small area of the cortex remaining, which shows a ferruginous staining."

We know hominids used weapons & tools and had culture, have what is widely considered to be relic hominids in Sasquatch ever used weapons? I think it fascinating that there are so many references to archaeological finds that have accompanying legends to those respected areas being excavated, of hairy giant peoples.
Ron Morehead seems quite clear in stating that he felt that the limb breaks among his vocal exchanges in the Sierra's appeared to be a means of communication among themselves. But what if it were also a show of force (how big a limb they can use)? To me, there is nothing more awe inspiring than the mental image of a hairy giant dominating the thick forest terrain with a snapped tree limb in one of it's elongated arms' powerful hands.

Who or what eats bones??
I found some bones about a month ago while out Squatchin. There were only scattered vertebrae, and rib bones. I couldn't find the skull or any leg bones but I'm assuming by the larger vertebrae that they are from a deer. The odd thing is that the majority of the rib bones have been chewed on. I am very familiar with what rodent damage looks like on deer antlers and other bones. These rib bones were chewed on by molars because of the crushing nature of the damage. I'm adding a couple pics for you guys to look at. I'm hoping the quality is allright for your viewing.....if not I can take more pictures on my next foray. If anyone has a definitive idea of what did this please share. Thanks and as always Happy Squatchin.....

BFRO Report 26957: Pre-dawn whoops and movement heard near Prince Galitzin State Park
I traveled to Central Pa today to visit my family and while daydreaming on the drive I remembered a report from a few years ago from that area. It's a pretty cool story and from a very credible witness. I grew up in that area and we vacationed at the park for many years. Unfortunately I never had any Squatch experinces! Hope you enjoy the report. Happy Squatchin......

Timberrrrrrr!!!
No not the song by Kesha silly people! Timber is a customary term used when a person falls a tree and the tree is on it's way to the ground. I could probably google the term and write up a long boring post about where the term originated, etc, etc but I won't! This is a Bigfoot blog and I'm going to share a common sound that most Bigfoot researchers have heard when dealing with the Bigfoot. It is the sound of a tree falling over and hitting the ground. I myself have personally heard this twice. The first was a fairly large tree and made a loud crash when it hit the ground. The other was a smaller tree but still made a nice crash when it hit. But why is this Bigfoot related?? Why can't the wind just blow a tree down?? Let me explain.
My two experiences above came with other suspected Bigfoot behavior.These other behaviors included rocks being thrown in our direction. A couple of times we would hear something and a tree limb would just be falling out of a tree, very close to us!....no wind at all! Some of the other activity included whistles,wood knocking, and thumps on the ground like something heavy stomping it's feet. Oh yeh, this is the same area that I have all of the pictures of the stick formations, and the same area that I found all of the small rodent skeletons,and the same area that I heard the "elephant" running through the woods, and the same area that I heard wood knocks in. So as you can see I'm not just blindly making assumptions that everything I see and hear is a Squatch. I put all of these pieces together and make an educated guess. I strongly feel that this is not just coincidental events but rather the result of Sasquatch behavior.
No one really knows why Squatch feel the need to push over trees. If I were to guess I would think they are trying to assert their dominance. I can only speak for my personal experiences, but like I said earlier when we experienced it, it was with other activity. Maybe that other activity was the first warnings to get moving. How much more of a statement can someone or something make than pushing a tree over. Maybe they are trying to get your attention away from the other members of their family unit. The activity for us was always from behind. We would always be facing downhill, coincidentally towards those huge rock formations that I mentioned in an earlier post. I have an inkling that they hang around those rocks during the day. Maybe the noise maker behind us wanted our attention diverted.
It's anyone's guess why, but please listen to Stan Courtneys' recordings. Researchers all over the country have experienced the same thing as I have. Are we all crazy??? Don't answer that! Happy Squatchin....

Holy crap Turtle man had a Bigfoot encounter!
Pretty cool interview with the one and only Turtle Man, from Animal Planets "Call Of The Wildman". He shows a somewhat of a serious side as he describes a possible Bigfoot encounter when he was a youth. My kids and myself love Turtle Man.....yee yee yee yee yee yee!!!!

Odds and Ends
Just a quick post with some odds and ends pictures of some different stuff. All of the" leaners" are trees that aren't ones that just fell over and landed mysteriously the way they are. I could not find their original origin and they almost look foreign and out of place. Make of it what you will, I am just showing it for discussion sake. With that in mind they all seem to be in areas that we have had high activity in. The second picture down is at the entrance of the trail head from the power line that we had a close encounter at two years ago. As you can see on the third picture down, that tree is intertwined between four other trees. A natural occurrence?? I was reminded of the last picture from a post on FB. A lady was showing a bunch of low breaks on trees and she theorized they might be caused by juveniles breaking them with their strong feet and legs. Sounds like a plausible theory to me. I find quite a bit of low breaks on saplings and I always chalk them up to natural phenomena. But the last picture was in a secluded valley and was very protected from wind and possible lightning. I personally tried to break the other tree next to it and couldn't it because of the rigidness. Again, I don't have the answers. I'm just trying to make sense out of all this! Happy Squatchin.....

Track way Follow up!
The possible Bigfoot track way that I investigated last week has created such a roller coaster of emotions for myself. It started as thinking immediately they were human, to thinking they might be Squatch, to professionals saying they were human, to finally different professionals saying they were Squatch. I still don't know what to think. Short of Dr. Meldrum looking at my cast and telling me one way or another, I don't think I will ever know for sure!
I went back to the scene yesterday with my oldest son to show him, and to look one final time for any other potential evidence. We started at the original starting point of the first investigation but quickly made our way to the spot where I ended. I probably shouldn't have gone because what was once a pretty open and shut case was now wide open again. I'm posting a picture of a track that I found. It was on the same trail as all of the others but where it differs is it shows what I believe to be toe nail marks. These aren't the type and shape of toe nails that you are picturing in your head. Please just look at picture below!
This track was found in a really muddy area and the terrain changed to a slight upgrade and it's almost like these toe nails were used to gain traction. It was the only track like it and the next step was back to the same shape as all of the others that I saw. I don't know what to think about it. It just created more questions than answers as far as I am concerned.
Since this was where I ended my original investigation, I wanted to follow the trail to see where these tracks would lead me. I was astounded when they veered off the well beaten trail to enter a little rise into the woods. I could see where the ground was matted down pretty heavily and several scuff marks where something slid stepping up the rise. I gently brushed some leaves out of the matted down earth and found what looked like toe marks and the impression of foot prints. They were not evident enough to warrant taking pictures but in my opinion they were there. Since I was not dressed appropriately for off trail hiking, I couldn't follow my suspected quarry through the brush. I backed out to the trail and continued down for several yards to make sure I didn't miss them continue down the trail but that was not the case.
One other thing to note, I did see some suspicious tree breaks and tree formations where I feel the tracks entered the woods. They were not fresh but very suspicious in nature. In hindsight I probably should of documented these but my son and I were getting dangerously close to being late for Easter dinner at my in laws. I would definitely rather face a mean Squatch than a po'd wife..lol
Ooops I almost forgot. I did find two other partial tracks on a whole different trail. They were both very discrete in nature. I took a picture of the one that looks like the "print maker" stepped on a piece of rigid plastic debris and embedded it into the ground. Happy Squatchin.....
I went back to the scene yesterday with my oldest son to show him, and to look one final time for any other potential evidence. We started at the original starting point of the first investigation but quickly made our way to the spot where I ended. I probably shouldn't have gone because what was once a pretty open and shut case was now wide open again. I'm posting a picture of a track that I found. It was on the same trail as all of the others but where it differs is it shows what I believe to be toe nail marks. These aren't the type and shape of toe nails that you are picturing in your head. Please just look at picture below!

BFRO Report 42051: Deer hunter scouting with his family encounters two Bigfoots near Houtzdale
BFRO Report 42051: Deer hunter scouting with his family encounters two Bigfoots near Houtzdale
What a wonderfully detailed sighting report from the Clearfield area close to where I grew up in Central Pennsylvania. I find the story very believable and that area is very well known for Bigfoot type encounters. Great read!

Human track vs Bigfoot track
Below is a picture of a suspected human track (on right) that I cast yesterday, compared to a real Bigfoot track. The Bigfoot track just so happens to be a replica of the most well known Bigfoot of all time.....Patty of the Patterson/Gimlin film! Aside from the obvious size difference between the two, there are a few other glaring differences that I would like to bring up. One, the suspected human track has a definite "ball" under the big toe area that is absent from Patty's. This was very noticeable when I investigated the tracks at the site. It also was an indicator to me that I was dealing with a real being and not a fake wooden cut out or similar hoaxing device. Bigfoot track experts like Dr. Jeff Meldrum have stated that Bigfoot feet have a "mid tarsal break", meaning there is a hinge like effect mid foot of all Bigfoot. This hinging is very helpful in supporting a very large and heavy frame navigate through steep mountainous terrain. The "mid tarsal break" is also used in debunking fake tracks. Because of the complexity of the foot function, most hoaxers do not have the smarts to make a fake that passes the smell test with the professionals. Another differing feature is the heel of the suspected human tapers where Patty's stays pretty wide. Also the big toe of Patty is round where as the human was oblong. These are the differences that I noticed. These differences may or may not be a valid determining factor to judge between the two. Again, I'm only describing what I see.
A few of the similarities are that with the exception of the big toe, all of the other toe shapes are the same. There is also a very similar crease behind the toes that is evident in both. The shape of both prints are very close without taking the width of the heel into account.
So please take a look at the picture and come up with your own conclusion. Squatch or Human?

Track way Education
I'm just writing a little post with some details of my track way investigation today. Got a text late last night from my son saying that a couple of his buddies were looking for a place to camp this weekend in the area that I do my "research" in. They were in a panic because they found what they believed to be Sasquatch prints. They took a couple of pics and a little video and to say they were excited would be an understatement! The first thing I thought to myself was that these guys were playing a trick on my son for one reason or another so I didn't get overly excited about it myself. I didn't get a chance to talk to my son until this morning when he explained that these two kids were dead serious and that they swore they were not joking. The area that they found these prints in is an area that we get a ton of activity in. I already detailed the area in a previous blog post titled "Do Bigfoot Play Hide and Seek??" It's the same area that I had one of my close encounters in.
So I blow off work today to go check these prints out. I eventually find them about a 3/4 of a mile from where I parked my vehicle. At first glance I was pissed that I was duped into missing work for some human foot prints. The largest print I measured was 10" long, 2-1/2" wide at heel, and 4" wide at the widest part. Well within the size range of an average sized person. There were probably 3 or 4 different sized prints in all. The prints went back and forth on the trail for probably 1/4 mile until I lost them for a couple hundred yards. I then picked up a single set continuing down the trail for a while until I lost that one. This routine happens a couple more times until I come to a large muddy area with huge puddles of standing water. I find several of the different sized tracks again coming into this muddy area from different angles...not the main trail.One of the sets goes right through the deep mud puddle and the others walk around the water but directly through the mud. Why would people do this??? I had traveled at least a mile by this time and my mind starts to wonder. Could these be Squatch tracks???
I'm puzzled to say the least. I am having a hard time believing that anyone would walk bare footed, this far, through pretty crappy terrain. I picture myself walking in that crap and I would probably be tip toeing and at least show some sign of my uncomfortableness (yes I made that word up), but these ones absolutely do not!!
I have to admit that I'm starting to think these might be the real deal. They obviously are not mature adult Sasquatch, but most likely a couple juveniles out for a walk. I'm inventing this whole scene in my head and I'm forgetting about thinking clear and analytically. I'm most definitely not a track expert and these are the first ones that I ever studied. So I have a lot to learn about tracks and the differences between Squatch and humans. So I posted some pictures on Facebook with the hopes that someone who actually knows these differences would respond. I was elated when Tyler Bounds gave me some help and stated that they were human tracks made when the ground was soft...most likely during or right after it rained. His advice is what brought my mind back to reality and what I had known all along. A little later Derek Randles, who I am a huge fan of, reiterated Tylers opinion that they were indeed human. He even shared a cool little detail about one of the tracks. The two smallest toes were squished together, which shows that they were crammed into tight fitting shoes over a long period of time. I had never even thought of looking for that.
Even though the reality was that these were human prints I still wanted to continue my education by casting a couple of the tracks. I had never done it before and it would be great practice.
Most people would of looked at my day and thought that it was a huge waste of time, I don't. I learned a lot from two expert Squatchers, practiced casting a track,and most of all I got into the woods.

Great documentary on Bigfoot
If you haven't seen this documentary it is a MUST see! Listen to Bob Gimlin tell his story for the first time on TV about what he witnessed at Bluff Creek California on October 20, 1967. What a remarkable story and hard to dismiss as a tall tale! Watch as forensic experts recreate the famous Patterson/Gimlin film site and try to get answers to the decades long question....Is Patty a real living Bigfoot?
I found a couple more videos of Mysterious Encounters that I'm adding to this post. They are still about Bigfoot but totally new episodes and they feature some big names of the Bigfoot community a lot younger and a little lighter lol I think you'll enjoy this!

BFRO Report 4117: Sasquatch moves out of a squat position to a run when hit by vehicle head lights
BFRO Report 4117: Sasquatch moves out of a squat position to a run when hit by vehicle head lights
When I was in my early twenties I lived in the little College town of Indiana Pennsylvania. I had just started bow hunting and I had no place to go since I was new to the area. I eventually met a few guys that had some local connections that had a place to hunt and they invited me to go. It was awesome hunting and the deer, turkey, and grouse were plentiful. This particular night one friend and myself head out for an evening hunt. The property was old reclaimed strip mines that sat on the outskirts of town off of Rt 286. The plan was to walk together for a few hundred yards and then go in opposite directions to our chosen stand sites. At the end of our hunt, we would meet at the same spot and walk out together.
It was a very windy evening and there wasn't much in the way of deer movement. A front seemed to be moving in and the sky was darkening. As I sat patiently waiting for a deer to appear I hear this blood curdling, high pitched scream that can only be described as a woman being stabbed to death. It scared the living heck out me and because of the wind I couldn't tell the direction of the scream. But it was definitely inside of 100 yards and I was petrified. All of the sudden I see a deer come flying past my perch with total unbridled fear in its eyes. What the heck made that noise and where in the heck is it?
The sky was darkening by the minute and I usually make a habit of staying in my stand till well after dark to lessen the likely hood of spooking deer, but NOT tonight!I started down the ladder, knees wobbling from fear. I hit the ground and turn at the sound of stick crack to see my hunting partner 15 yards and closing. I already knew by the look at his face that he heard it too. "What the frick was that??" were his words (the G rated version). I said that I had no clue and that we should get moving because of the dark. On the ride back to town we tried every rational explanation as to what made that scream. Everything from a deer to a porcupine and everything in between. Nothing made sense to us and eventually after several weeks we quit worrying about it.
Fast forward to 2011 when I started getting back into the Bigfoot realm. I had just found the BFRO data base and I was in heaven. I browsed every report I could and was fascinated with all of the first hand accounts by eye witnesses. I have to admit that eye witnesses are the biggest reason for my unwavering belief in Sasquatch. I am of the opinion that not every person is lying so that leaves a large percentage of witnesses that are telling the truth about seeing a Bigfoot. But anyway, I was browsing the Pennsylvania sighting reports and I started with the county I currently live in, then I browsed the county that I grew up in, and then I noticed Indiana county. I clicked on the BFRO Report 4117 and read the eye witness account and realized it was the same location that I used to hunt in. I almost fell over in shock. Could that of been a Bigfoot that made that scream or is this just a huge coincidence???
Please if anyone has any suggestions as to what they think might of made that scream. I am all ears! This blog is for openly discussing Bigfoot and I encourage dialogue. If there is a rational explanation I would love to hear it.

Justin Smeja- Killed two Bigfoot???
Did Justin Smeja shoot two Bigfoot, killing one and possibly both? I personally believe Justin 150%. After listening to him I never get the sense that he's lying or embellishing his story in the least. Whether you feel that it was right or wrong is not the purpose of this posting. Just FYI Justin and the "Driver" passed a polygraph test. The odds that both men cheated the test is minuscule! Listen and you decide!
The top image is an artist rendition of the baby Squatch that Justin held in his arms as it died. The bottom was the "Parent" Squatch that Justin shot first.
Throwback Tuesday-In search of with Leonard Nimoy

Fun weekend!
Had a blast this past weekend with my kids and some of our friends. We caught some fish, enjoyed the heck out of the outdoors and made a bunch of memories. No Squatch though.....
