China YEREN-BIGFOOT Writing Project

Check out Bigfoot's bLog's new sub-blog, The China Yeren-Bigfoot Writing Project, http://yerenbigfoot.blogspot.com/, up now!

In 2009 at Xi'an International Studies University, China, American teacher Christa Harrison (see her BLOG, From the Redwoods to Red China) used Bigfoot as a writing project subject with her English language-learning Chinese students. In association with Bigfoot Books' BIGFOOT'S bLOG these papers are being posted.

Students were encouraged to think of Bigfoot and their own native cryptid hominid-hominoid traditions such as the Yeti and Yeren. They were encouraged to write a Western-style research paper, but as you'll see, the perspectives are also uniquely Chinese. These students are preparing for study next term in the USA at Humboldt State University, Northern California.

Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up, Report Coming Soon

"I'll tell you, I must be the richest man in Yakima County. I don't have much, just a little cabin, but with all of you here I have everything."
--Bob Gimlin

After years of scoffing, ridicule and disbelief, the living witness to what is still the most convincing evidence of the existence of Sasquatch gets the respect he so richly deserves.

More reporting and images from the 2009 Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up coming soon to this page! And yes, we will deal with the Cryptomundo muckracking and attendance exclusion controversies.

For now, if you want some thorough reportage on the speakers and the event in general, check out Cliff Barackman's excellent North American Bigfoot blog reports:

Quote of the Day: Arthur Schopenhauer


“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

Arthur Schopenhauer (February 22, 1788–September 21, 1860)

Can we apply this to the field of sasquatch research?

Does Schopenhauer not look a bit like a sasquatch?
