BLOBSQUATCHING THE PGF: The Problem of Intentional Imaginative Pareidolia; The Beckjordian Background of Delusion, and MKD Emerging from Retirement (Again)

BIGFOOT'S BLOG
Early June, 2012 Edition

Where is the "Bob Gimlin in the Bushes," Blevins?

BLOBSQUATCHING AND THE PATTERSON-GIMLIN!!!

Pareidolia can be fun. Try it sometime. Just stare long enough at some abstract thing, pattern or setting, perhaps crossing your eyes a little, and you will begin to see forms and things that emerge. Faces will form from wood paneling. Clouds will transform into fleeting dragons. At times these can be truly surprising, even epiphanic; but that does not always mean that they are real.

Just like M.K. and his odd offspring, Mr. Lee Blevins, we are going to take an "in-depth look" at the Patterson-Gimlin film in this expedition into the inner reaches of the mind. SEE BELOW FOR EXAMPLES. Click on the images to view in a larger size, gaze at them long enough, and maybe, just maybe, you will find the deep secrets I have found there. If not, well, there are colored circles drawn around some of these hidden mysteries to guide you.

Bekjord the Grey, ET Prophet

The great Granddaddy of all of this Blobsquatchery is Jon-Erik Beckjord. He was noted for progressively odd theories about the Bigfoot creatures and the Patterson-Gimlin film as a particular example. He was featured in an article called IS BIGFOOT FROM OUTER SPACE. As he aged, so his theories proliferated into the paranormal. There is a possibility that he was some kind of great Visionary, but I think parsimony suggests that there was some kind of mental illness going on as the years went by. Pareidolia may be fun, but delusional mental illness is not, especially for those others subjected to it, like Tara and Loren. He was known to appear at Bigfoot conferences wearing an "ET" grey alien mask in his later years.

Here is an example of some of the things that Beckjord saw in the PGF. It would seem that Beckjord was the creator, or at least the primal propagator, of the notorious "Red Circle." Below are some "baby Bigfoots," and other hidden Bigfooty presences he found in the bushes behind the film subject. He seems to have been an influence on MK Davis' work looking into the Patterson Film, as well. Before his website went down after his death, Beckjord displayed many an early MK image on there.

Did you know there was a "Blob-Gimlin"? It is only visible in one frame, but it does look a little like a younger Bob... or Elvis. This is the basis of the theories of one Leroy Blevins. However, how could he not see the "red-headed man" whose head is right next to "Bob's" and is actually much more clear than the "Bob"?

Even across space, we
See Things like this
"Face" on Mars, or the "Man
on the Moon."

Not all Pareidolia is due to some kind of mental condition or delusion. IN FACT, we ALL have it. It is a natural function of the mind seeking patterns and forms in sensory input. We are, in fact, hard-wired to "See Things," especially faces and human forms. This seems to be one of the earliest and most primal, primary tendencies of the mind, as the infant appears to recognize faces before other objects, and also to make faces to its mother to enhance bonding, and hence to increase chances of survival. Being human, we tend to see the human form projected upon the world. In many cases of blobsquatch identification, or even Bigfoot sightings in "the field," Pareidolia is what is really going on; and hence, the oddities of human perception should always be subjected to skeptical scrutiny before they are taken literally as real.

Sometimes "Blobsquatches" are not pareidolia or "matrixing," but simply mis-perception. Here is an image captured from a recent "Bigfoot video" that was said to "Confirm on All Points." I beg to differ, a little....

Confirms on... REDNECK! Bigfoot... NOT.

Here is an image found publicly posted on Facebook that is said to contain "many" Sasquattles, and even an alien or two...

I dunno, folks. I mean, I see only shrubbery.

In the cover of this upcoming book, BIGFOOT BLUES, there are said to be five Bigfoot hiding in the forest. When I looked I found TEN or more. What is going on here? Pariedolia? Or did the cover artist simply miss the Sasquatch hiding in his/her very own photograph? It is a great mystery!

Can YOU find the five Bigfoot in this book cover?

Another form of "blobbing" is the suppositious mis-identification of so-called "evidence." With "Squatch on the Brain Syndrome" just about anything can be a sign of "Bigfoot." Like this kind of thing widely circulated on Facebook Bigfoot groups and walls....

Bigfoot Did It! Yep, that's right. Every stick that falls is a sign....

Here is a CLASSIC: "Bigfoot" AFTER he has dematerialized, from Oklahoma. I was assured that there was a real, physical Bigfoot standing right there just a second before it entered "That Place Where They Go," in another dimension, or something. Rather than a blobsquatch, this is what we might call the "No-Squatch."

De-materializing Bigfoot

You may have heard that M.K. Davis retired. I hope he knows that despite some kidding here, we all wish him the best of health and happiness. Anyway, he's come back a little, drawn by the irresistible magnet of Bigfooting infamy. He's seeing White Bigfootses everywhere! In a recent blog, published just about an hour or two after I took him apart piece by piece live on the air on BlogTalk Radio, M.K. stated,

"It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to go in new directions. My health is declining. I have a few projects to finish I hope…before “I” am finished. I hope that this site and this blog meant something to you. To all the nearly 30,000 people who have visited, please know that you are important to me and your interest in my work is greatly appreciated. I have protected my sources, and I have done right by them and by you. I leave with a clean conscience. 
I’ll continue with the Bigfoot Central show as long as Don Monroe wants and artistfirst will have me. I thank you one and all."

HIS RETIREMENT DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG, DID IT? Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in! Eh, MK?

MKD, in current state, after years of "Blobbing"

So, just what is it that is causing this flirtation with retirement? We have inside information and a photo that reveals it.... the rare, but highly contagious condition, Blobbybluritis. The photo seen here shows M.K. in his current state, after countless hours, months, years, spent staring into his computer monitor at overblown-up images from the 1967 Bigfoot film. It is with this sad case that we urge caution and moderation when viewing the images that follow.

BLOBSQUATCHING THE PATTERSON-GIMLIN FILM,

MK found many a thing in the PGF, so so may I. What follows is just the tip of the iceberg of things I've seen in the film, and managed to get screen captures of... it is said that blobsquatches are highly elusive, excellent at camouflage, and of course may simply walk through walls or into another dimension. Perhaps these don't quite live up to Beckjord's "Alien Android" theory, but we still hope you'll enjoy. YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK THE IMAGES TO ENLARGE THEM, and be sure to stare at each for as long as it takes for your eyes to cross, hypnosis to set in, and the hidden secrets to become animate and real to you. All of these images were found in the REAL PGF, not elsewhere, nor were they Photoshopped into the photos.

Patterson-Gimlin Film: A New Tall Tale

By R.V.

Who is this  "R.V." and who is... Stephen Wagner ?
Info on the publisher or "author" of this story:
Stephen Wagner is a paranormal researcher and author.Experience: Stephen Wagner has been an investigator of many aspects of paranormal phenomena for over 30 years. He has written articles for numerous magazines, including FATE, and is the author of "Touched By a Miracle: True Stories of Ordinary People and Extraordinary Experiences". He is also a member of Central New York Ghost Hunters.From Stephen Wagner: This website is your gateway to the fascinating world of ghosts and hauntings, strange creatures, psychic phenomena, lost worlds, other dimensions, and the unexplained. Here you'll quickly learn that there is far more to our existence on this planet than is currently explained by science. I welcome your feedback and your true encounters with the unknown.

BELIEVABLE? I doubt it. A credible source for history? Not. Here are a few excerpts....

"Remember the movie where Bigfoot walks past the screen and looks at the camera?," he said. "For years, when it was shown on TV, it was edited. There's a big piece missing. When they show it on television, it's shown out of context. This guy we hooked up with has a different film. An entirely different thing."

The film starts off very shaky. After a few seconds the subjects come into focus. It starts off with a few of these creatures digging for something. Not just one. I remember him saying distinctly "three". They are also very far away from the camera. They start to walk down a trail or a path and then they stop by a pond or a puddle of water. They separate, but then soon regroup. It seemed like these creatures were just doing a surveillance of the area.

"Surreal" is the word he used because he was not sure what to make of this. The whole time the camera is on them and they don't know it. Then all of a sudden, a hail of gunfire comes from the tree line and blast these things cold. One of the creatures drops and another one bolts into the woods. The remaining one strangely just walks/staggers off. As one of the creatures walked off, someone kept taking pot shots at it from a distance. That's the creature you see in the popular film.

He also said that there was another film, which was shocking as well as disgusting. It shows a bunch of men dragging one of the lifeless bodies and placing it on a tarp or a pool cover and then cutting it up. Obviously, there was no sound on these videos. I told him that if this was lost footage or something, then it would probably be worth something to somebody.

John said that there was a person with money who wanted to have a look at the film and maybe do business at one point. He was a lawyer/businessman type. John also added that an eccentric named Eric Beckord, a researcher, was harassing him at one point. He threatened John by saying he would drag his ass into Supreme Court if he had to. He said that Mr. Beckjord came off with a sense of entitlement and claimed to be the rightful owner of all films related to Bob Patterson. Then he was never heard from again.

BOB Patterson??? A pond on Bluff Creek? I think we can write this one off, folks. The fabricator of this silly story obviously does not know that the full Roll One of the Patterson film material has been recovered by Bill Munns from a copy in John Green's collection. There was NO such footage on the roll, but just some scenery and horseback shots down in the creekbed. There are also no edits from the camera original. This is just... A TALL TALE. That is all this stuff is, just like all of that stuff MK "sees" in the P-G Film, from which tiny suggestions and blurry forms create a whole false edifice of suppositional, fantastical and delusional history.

We have it on the word of one of the very few who was there in the small room after the 2008 Ohio Bigfoot Conference where MK first announced his outlandish theory that MK DID SAY THAT DREADED WORD, "MASSACRE." MK denies ever having said this, so we don't know. I wasn't there. In any case, I believe the word of my witness. The name, "Bluff Creek Massacre Theory" STICKS. Sorry MK.

ANGRY BIGFOOT SPEAKS! 

(Channeled by Denali)

Me so angry right now. This big boom-boom storm, or as hu-man call it, thunder storm came and blow tent into angry bigfoot cave. Now cave big mess! It take angry bigfoot two week to clean up. It also blow best friend bunny away. Next day, me seed best friend bunny in meat maker, or as hu-man call it, a factory. Me so angry, me think angry bigfoot head go boom-boom like big storm cloud did.

Bigfoot Sighting Investigation: ODEN FLAT; AL HODGSON Interview Completed; Film Guys Driven out of Happy Camp; QUATCHI, Olympic Mascot

The 2010 Winter Olympics to be held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, BELIEVES in Sasquatch. Or, Bigfoot believes in the Olympics, in an official mascot role, complete with an overly cute product line featuring plush stuffed figures, lapel pins, commemorative coins, t-shirts and other goodies guaranteed to improve your love life.


"QUATCHI," as the fuzzy little, ear-muffed character is called, is an appropriate choice, as this area of Canada is the true birthplace of wider awareness of North America's favorite cryptid hominoid, predating the "birth of Bigfoot" in 1958 by at least three decades. J. W. Burns, working on the reserve of the Chehalis Indians, some sixty miles east of Vancouver, coined the adaptive neologism, "Sasquatch," back in the 1920s. Derived from the various First Nations names for the creature in which they shared common belief and culture, it soon became the accepted name for the being.

The Games run from February 12th to the 28th.
View the QUATCHI product line through their official merchandising site, The Olympic Store. Click on the "Mascots" tab to see the other cutsie critters supporting the Olympic endeavor.

UPDATES:

This last week was a busy one, and some of you may have noted that we lagged in posting a new blog entry. Since then our humble Bigfoot's bLog has been listed as a featured "Best Bloggers on BF Research" selection on the newly revamped and ever-cool BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) website. Web hits have doubled, sometimes tripled here since then. Thanks to you, Matt and Bobo!!! We are certainly humbled to be in the same row with Autumn Williams, Cliff Barackman, Daniel Perez and Scott McClean, the Blogsquatcher and Loren Coleman!

BFRO NEWS FLASH! The BFRO now has a YouTube account, and you can view some of the best video evidence for Bigfoot out there for free, including, now posted, the "Squeaky footage from North Carolina, 2009," which was taken by investigator Mike Green, and first shown publicly at the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up (personally, we find this one very interesting and quite credible). Check it out!: BFROVIDEOS CHANNEL.

It's been said before, but really hit home last week for us, that a bigfooter should never trust anyone from the outside who shows up with a film camera wanting to make a Bigfoot documentary. We learned our lesson well when we were contacted by two guys from that ever so squatchy land called L.A., CA. Ostensibly part of a graduate thesis project in Anthropology, this project proved to be wholly unprofessional. Be warned, bigfooters. If you hear from two guys wanting to film you under these circumstances, take pause. They came up here and started in Happy Camp, north of Willow Creek, spending only a day there before they were run out of town by the locals in big trucks. Word from the town is that local folks generally mistrust everyone who comes up there asking about Bigfoot, having been burned back in 2005 by none other than Tom Biscardi (see our previous post on the exploitative Happy Camp Bigfoot Debacle and other Biscardi issues HERE). We are inquiring with local Squatcher, Linda Martin, about this. Can you blame them? It is a wonder that anyone still reports Bigfoot encounters anymore with huckster flakes like this running around. What they did to us wasn't so bad, save that they absconded on promises to hook up for a planned sighting investigation and an interview with Bigfooting elder, Al Hodgson that we had arranged. Instead, they just used us for our connections to these people, did some shoddy interviews without contacting us, not even answering their phone, and then fled town with a bunch of lies about getting food poisoning at the local Mexican restaurant. They left a trail of disgust and befuddlement behind them. Be careful whom you trust! We're already regretting signing that filming consent form and letting them interview us. Luckily, the time spent arranging those interviews has paid off. Read on....

Fortuitously, bigfooter "Crazy Ian" (BFF) of Redding was in town, and we rallied back to our plans without those losers. First we had a good talk with the local Willow Creek Forest Service ranger, Jim (tip: he has great Bigfoot stories, and he keeps the Six  Rivers Forest Atlas topo books in his desk, and they ARE for sale; the office is just down Hwy. 96 a half mile from downtown Willow Creek).

Our first main order of business was to interview Mr. Hodgson. Al was there in the very earliest days of Bigfoot in the Willow Creek area. He knew Jerry Crew before the famous 1958 footprint casts were made. He was the one who called Roger Patterson about the trackways found up on Blue Creek Mountain in 1967, a fateful call that led to the capture of one of the creatures on 16mm film up on Bluff Creek. Without Al it could be said that there would have been no PGF. Anyway, now, thanks to Al, there will no longer be any grounds for the so-called "Bluff Creek Massacre" theory. He has REFUTED ALL of it, including the odd notion that Bob Titmus was there gunning down a Bigfoot family. The interview went on for over two hours, so it will be a while before we have finished transcribing it. Look for the AL HODGSON INTERVIEW coming soon to this blog! Watch out, GCBRO, Paulides, Short and Davis--you're in for a challenge!


ODEN FLAT SIGHTING SITE INVESTIGATION:

Image: from Google Earth, showing the site near the lower center. Click to enlarge. 

We blogged back in September 2009 about a sighting east of Willow Creek, just past the little hamlet of Salyer. See our previous post HERE. The resident, "Fisherman" Ken Hodges, had reported to us back in May of that year encounters in the Fish Lake area, near Bluff Creek, which he believes are evidence of a migratory Bigfoot family group. Read that blog entry HERE. Back on September 11 of that year his now 15-year old daughter had a sighting in the forested yard of their family home. Having gotten to know them better since then, we were invited to their residence to investigate.

Sitting on the front porch steps of her house with a friend, the daughter, Kimberly, kept hearing the sound of snapping twigs coming from the bushes at the front of a creepy miniature manzanita forest to the east of the house. They sounded like broken branch sounds rather than something treading on the debris of the forest floor. Looking over she saw something dark crouching down among the understory. Initially she thought it was a bear; but then when she started looking at it the thing reached up an arm toward a branch above and stood up on two legs.

The father, Ken, stood on the spot and demonstrated the arm reach for us. Kimberly assured us the thing was way taller than her father, and about four feet wide at the shoulders. It was in the evening, with the sun down behind the mountain to the southwest, but there was still light. The creature looked back at her, just standing there, but no facial features were detectable from that distance. She and her friend saw it. Her friend suggested she go into the house and grab a crossbow, just in case. When back outside the creature had retreated back into the back woods.

Images: Above, rough height comparison between 6-foot 4-inch Mr. Hodges and the ostensible nearly 8-foot tall Bigfoot; the view from the creature's end, toward the front portch; below, the spooky, squatchy manzanita thicket into which the creature withdrew.

Kimberly was too shy to be photographed for this blog, but she went with us exploring the sighting area with her father and told us fuller details of the event than we had previously heard. Fur was noted to be shaggy, not short, maybe four inches long. No out of the ordinary odor was noted. It moved very silently when retreating. She did not observe the creature's retreat, but later her father found what he assumed was the Bigfoot's trackway of escape, with foot marks smudged into the ground where the creature had been squatting, and impressions along the route back into the woods.

We found longish hair snagged on some barbed wire back in there, and retrieved samples for analysis. It was clearly not that of their family dog, who was also with us on the investigation. The hair was black and greyish in color. It could have been from a bear. It was found on the escape route of the creature, though, and along a clearly  notable game trail heading from the south toward the thicker woods and the Trinity River below--a very clear transit corridor for animal life in the area.

We were shown a couple of old impressions in the ground, still holding the basic shape of a large foot, with a distinct heel area and possible toe prints. They were not clear enough to cast, nor to get a decent photograph, but one could put a foot down onto the top leaves and forest debris and feel the footlike shape beneath dwarfing one's own shoe size.

Images: The as yet inconclusive hair find; below, an old footprint, the best photo we could get in the failing light, contrast revealed with an angled flashlight; at bottom, the deeper back woods leading down to the river, with attractive grass for deer, and a dirt driveway creating a natural bottleneck for animals using the aforementioned game trail; far below, the dog that beat the cougar goes squatching.

From this point Mr. Hodges told us about some things that might to some seem the product of an active imagination; but with the confirmation of his obviously sincere daughter's sighting description his words become doubly compelling. He describes repeated and apparently increasing anomalous activity going on across his home site that seems to indicate not only habitual use of his land by a group of the "unknown" creatures, but also possible growing habituation to human presence.

During the first couple of years living at the location he didn't notice much, but when he started in these past two years the practice of camping out in his own backyard during the warm parts of the year he began to notice things. Most notably he claims nearly nightly sounds of the banging together of flat river rocks, which produce a distinct clacking sound. These unique-sounding rocks would have had to have been carried up from the river below. He notices that they are often associated with odd deer behavior, as the animals flee at the sounds. He thinks that the Bigfoot creatures may be hunting the deer that are numerous on his land. He believes, based upon the evidence he hears and sees, that there is a group of the Sasquatches, with one driving deer down to the waiting ambush from the others. We asked about this, but he says that no carcasses, bones or gut piles have been found.

As the land is bordered to the west by steep rock cliffs, and to the east by a wider highway, more homes and a highway rest stop, the wooded land he lives on can be clearly seen as a natural corridor from the mountains to the river. Rock hurling incidents have also occurred on the site, with one larger one flying horizontally out of the woods and almost hitting a friend of his who was sitting at a bonfire in the fire ring in the front yard. Mr. Hodges reports also the odd occurrence of small pebble-sized rocks hitting and clacking against his metal front door once he has closed it behind him after smoking a cigarette out on the porch at night. He thinks that the creatures are possibly observing him and the family's activities from the bushes to the south from his front porch. Hodges assures us that no neighbors or mischievous kids have been frequenting his yard; and, besides, none of these neighbors stand seven-foot-plus tall, nor are they covered in brown shaggy hair from head to big foot.

Ken Hodges is determined to get images of whatever these nocturnal visitors are in the warmer months coming up, when the activity always increases. He will be calling us as soon as the first instance occurs, so look to more updates coming in the future!

UPDATED BIT:

Just so you know (based on comments on the BFF), the rest stop is a little ways down the road from the site. Here we were trying to emphasize how the home site is fortuitously located for wildlife (Bigfoot?) access from mountain to river. Numerous bears and mountain lions have been sighted around there as well, including one cougar that got into a battle with the family dog (the dog won and treed the cat). As one drives out of Salyer there is a precipitous drop from cliffs down to the river. No animal could use this way, and besides, the roadway would trap them and prevent escape, so narrow as it is. Coming down into the Oden Flat area the land flattens and opens, so deer and other creatures are very common moving through there. To the east of the property the highway widens and has less forest cover around it. This is our theory as to why the creatures frequent this particular corridor.

There HAVE been roadside sightings along there in the past.The roadside rest would be a good place to squatch for the CURIOUS ones who might wonder what the humans there are up to. Ken Hodges is a lifelong resident of the area around Willow Creek, and has spent most of his life in rural areas and out in the mountains fishing, mushroom gathering and camping. He knows a lot of the people, for instance, in The Hoopa Project. He is a fount of Bigfoot information that is derived from experience here, not from reading the books or watching TV documentaries. We are hoping to get the BFRO involved on this one soon, maybe get some thermal video ability on-site, once any new activity is reported.There have been other sightings reports from up on Waterman Ridge, just north of the Hodges land, so this situation seems very promising.

ANGRY BIGFOOT SPEAKS!  

Me say it before, me say it again. Never trust hu-man. They come with camera, they come with gun, they tell lie and drive over Bigfoot home with truck, they steal land, cut down tree, take all and leave mess behind. Why you think me hide? It NOT from fear, it from disgust. They make film, try make money, they even worse than pig. They not smell bad like Bigfoot supposed to smell. They smell bad like bad moral, no care for anything but city slicker selfs. Me speak. You listen if you smart. You want find Bigfoot you be like Him, walk silent and carry big stick. Bonk bonk on the head!

Something Stinky from Salt Fork Comes! Another BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT Update, SASQUATCH SUMMIT, Rene and Kokanee, and MORE

Jan. 14th Preliminary Poster. CLICK TO ENLARGE.

BIGFOOT'S BLOG, Late-January Edition, 2011

Here's another grand amalgamation for y'all.

Be sure to SEE BELOW for the last in the first round of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT videos, numbers 31-36 are presented viewable here.

In case you don't know, another Tom Yamarone, et al., production is coming to a town probably not near you. If you dare cross the border into forbidden Canada, home of the sinister wild-Sasquatch-man described back in the 1920s by J.W. Burns, you might just be able to shake the hand of the Moses of Bigfooting, JOHN GREEN, at the SASQUATCH SUMMIT.
Rather than rattle on endlessly about it, let's just say that Cliff Barackman wrote on his North American Bigfoot Blog a good piece on the upcoming mega-convention at Harrison Hot Springs, Canada. Read it HERE. Don't forget to renew your passports.

ANOTHER WRETCHED HOAX!

Bigfoot, on the Verge of Tears.

FIND BIGFOOT on FACEBOOK Declares a KNOWN HOAX the Number Six Bigfoot Video of All Time!

Watch it HERE. Or view the "updated" version the hoaxer claims he will never take down HERE. Then ask yourself, WHY did anyone believe this crap in the first place?
Shockingly, on the same day, or the day after we got wind of the full-on-viral "tree-pulling Bigfoot" video on YouTube being a full-on hoax, those clever guys at FindBigfoot (or just "Bigfoot") on Facebook declared it to be well-within the top ten best clips of a Sasquatch ever! This video was shot by a dude named Jeff, from Ohio; though why he calls himself "The Squatchmaster" is truly beyond our understanding. From the first time we saw it, personally, we just knew it was fake; and looking closer its fake-ishness became all too clear. Astonishing, even further, were the declarations made by Bigfoot-Facebook of utter conviction of the reality of the film clip, and also some very bizarre interpretations thereof. This went WELL BEYOND saying the thing "confirmed on cone-head" when the figure was actually wearing a hoodie; it went right on into confirming the nature of Bigfoot's culture. This is the last straw for Facebook-Bigfoot, whose complete hubris of assumption, presupposition and pareidolia have been truly fascinating up to this point. Now they have really jumped the squatch.

SquatchCoward's You Tube page with Hoaxed Video, Salt Fork Park, Ohio

 We quote from there page (linked above):

"#6 Best Bigfoot Video 6/54 "Sasquatch breaking down tree, voice, track trackway, possible ceremony" Ohio 1/9 to 1/16 2011 Posted by anonymous researcher "SquatchMaster"
This is a compilation of the best of two weekends of expeditions in Ohio. very shaky footage, but contains great data. SM sees two Sasquatch briefly. Flims three alarm knocks one crossing a gap, and one up in a tree. Then SM films the greatest display of strength by a Sasquatch that is clearly under stress. Another Sasquatch is up a tree. Confirms on long arms, coned head, slope to back(trapezoid connections). Voice is heard during the breaking down of tree. Likely instructions to the other Sasquatch, the filmer or possible ceremony in breaking down tree."


"Ceremony," we ask? OMG, as they say. Rather than babble on here we'll just offer the set of comments we left on the video's page on their Facebook site. Be sure to read ALL of the comments in there. You might just find their credibility damaged and your own native skepticism rising up against all of this YouTubing Blobsquatchery. Don't feed the hoaxers. End Blobsquatching Now!

  Steven Streufert Gullibility and presupposition will get us absolutely nowhere; and in fact, will make us look like pure idiots to the "outside world." The rest of the world is laughing at all of Bigfootery every time one of these stupid videos is released. In fact, I am sure it is for just such a reaction that hoaxers do what they do.

  Steven Streufert ‎"Ceremony"? Are you KIDDING??? Number Six all-time video? This set of assumptions destroys all credibility for FindBigfoot/FaceBook. I am sure the vast majority of "fans" of this site are only such for the humor value and the cool Bigfoot avatar it adds to one's news feed. HOAX! Proven hoax, guys; and obviously a hoax before it was proven and admitted. Listen to Tim Stover/TCSJR Bigfoot's show on www.blogtalkradio.com .

  Steven Streufert Far from merely "providing a forum for sharing encounters," FB/FIND BF is claiming to be an AUTHORITY on these matters, an attitude demonstrating hubris. This claim calls into question all of their past work, however good some of it may have been. Over-eagerness in assumptions leads to projection, false conclusions, and outright hallucination. Pareidolia. Look it up. It is a known perceptual aberration.

  New methodology:
  Assume it is a hoax first. Try to eliminate human factors. Know the limits of the video medium. Analyze the full context. Interview the witnesses and go to the site. Gather confirming ancillary evidence. Then look honestly at the figure in form and behavior. THEN ask, does it demonstrate qualities that could not be human or other animal? Then, finally, ask if it "confirms" on previous proposed BF film and sighting accounts. Then question those previous accounts. Accept what remains as possibility, not the final proven truth. Wait for further, better evidence. ELIMINATE the impossible (and the all too probable), and that which remains should be the truth.

View his full array of videos HERE, under "Uploads, See All," if you can bear it. It seems that he went from serious though frustrated researcher to hoaxer, and then to hoaxer-joker-covering-his-ass, all in one short year. Wow, and some people have spend decades doing this; but Mr. JeffMaster knows all, we suppose. It would seem his goal, in the end, was just to try to trouble and defame Tim Stover and Don Keating. One of the more un-fabulous careers in Bigfooting goes down into the dust of infamy! Good riddance. Hopefully some of the other stinky stuff coming out of Salt Fork State Park will clear up before this year's annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference? Here's hoping!

Can YOU pinpoint the PGF site? Let us Know!!!

FINALLY, here are the last of our first year's BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT videos. We filmed a concluding segment of SUMMARY video of discussion between the main characters at Cinnabar Sam's Restaurant in Willow Creek a couple of weeks back, and these are even now being edited for YouTube by Robert Leiterman. Look for these coming soon, and of course MORE next summer.

Here is PART THIRTY-ONE of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here we return to the closed dirt road above the PGF site(s) and try to get glimpses down onto the sandbars. Then we proceed in a treacherous and perhaps foolhardy hike down the near-vertical hillside to one of the more promising gravel bars near Dahinden's marked spot.

Here is PART THIRTY-TWO of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here we head down the treacherous hill, trying to coordinate a three-site upper "aerial" view of the proposed sandbar locations within the "General Consensus Site." Making our way down a near-vertical jungle-like hillside and trying to view through the trees doesn't prove too easy to accomplish.

Here is PART THIRTY-THREE of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here we reach the bottom of the hill and get a full view of one of the best looking gravel bars. Robert recreates a humorous, plausible walk of the Creature in the part that is not fully overgrown with new trees. Big trees in back, the creek course looks just right... could THIS be the spot?

Here is PART THIRTY-FOUR of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Here we not only photograph a Blobsquatch, but we also find the best Big Trees yet, ancient stumps in just the right spots, and an old fallen Douglas fir that could have been one of the background trees in the PGF (downed, just like Rene Dahinden said it was in 1983).

Here is PART THIRTY-FIVE of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Nearing the end of the first year's phase! Here we find some nice mushrooms (Bigfoot food!) and look at more stumps. The following discussion finds us agreeing that this location looks VERY GOOD. We may have found the Big Trees; but further study is required.

Here is PART THIRTY-SIX of our BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT on BFRO-VIDEOS on YouTube. Ending of the first year's phase, here we get one last look from high up on the hillside over the Byrne and MK sites. STAY TUNED for our new SUMMATION SERIES, being taped this weekend here in Willow Creek. Have fun!



The BLUFF CREEK FILM SITE PROJECT series, now at 36 videos, may be seen on YouTube under "Uploads, See All" at BFRO-VIDEOS.
BEWARE! More are coming soon!
