Repost: Searching for Bigfoot in Washington State
Does Bigfoot really exist? Mike Barish travels to Washington State and links up with a real life Sasquatch expert to try to coax him out of his forest hideaway.
Mike Baris writes on his blog:
Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeti. Whatever you call it, you’ve most certainly heard tales of an ape-like creature that lives in the woods. Is it the missing link? Is it a prehistoric beast that defied extinction? Or, is it simply a myth with a few ardent believers? I ventured to the woods of Whidbey Island in Washington State to attempt to find out for myself. I met up with Paul Graves, a Sasquatch expert, part of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization and a man who has dedicated his life to studying and searching for this seemingly mythical animal.
I, of course, am already the father of a yeti. Granted, he’s a SkyMall product who I’ve forced to bake brownies, but he’s mine and I love him. That said, I wanted to find the real thing.
At his cabin in the woods, Paul showed me the tools of the trade: night-vision and thermal goggles, cameras and, perhaps most important of all, patience. We searched for tracks, belted out Sasquatch screams and waited. And waited. Watch the video to see if we had any luck and check out the photos from my day with Paul. And, listen to all of Paul’s Bigfoot song, “Jim Henry.”

Animal Planet: 6 Reasons to Believe in Bigfoot, Courtesy of the BFRO
THE EVIDENCE FOR BIGFOOT:
- The number of credible witnesses and their geographic distribution.
- The scientific examination of casts and photos of footprints.
- The Patterson-Gimlin footage.
- Native American folklore about bigfoots.
- Sounds recordings attributed to bigfoots.
- Healed dermal scars on track casts.
BFRO: Spokane figure could be a man in dark clothes
The BFRO or the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization founded in 1995 is a scientific research organization exploring the bigfoot/sasquatch mystery. In the past few days they have received several emails asking about their opinion about the new footage from Spokane, Washington. The clip has been shown on a few news channels in that part of the country and around the world. Although they are not calling the video a hoax, they are questioning the behavior of "Samantha" who originally uploaded the footage. "There may be very valid reasons for Samantha to remain anonymous, but that's not the typical pattern for authentic footage," said the BFRO.
BFRO:
Now that you've seen the footage you'll see what I'm talking about. It could be a man in dark clothing running by, perhaps even staged to run by. At this time the camera person (a female) has chosen to remain anonymous, except for her first name: Samantha.
It is poor form to involve children in a hoax, so we hope this particular footage was not a hoax by Samantha and her young kids. There may be very valid reasons for Samantha to remain anonymous, but that's not the typical pattern for authentic footage.
Historically, very few sightings have been reported near Spokane. The last reported sighting near Spokane was in 1985. Prior that we have to dial all the way back to 1961, when there was an incident near Mount Spokane. We don't have any unpublished reports from near Spokane either. Sightings just don't happen near there very often.
The incident occured in Downriver Park, on the western perimeter of Spokane.
Matt Moneymaker, President of the BFRO commented on an earlier post and said they received a message from Spokane about a student "viral video" assignment:
Yesterday the BFRO received a message from Spokane saying that students from this community college had been assigned to make a viral video. This was one of the videos made for that assignment, supposedly.
If that is so, then I assume other students would know about it by now, which means we'll be getting confirmation from other sources eventually. It is not a bigfoot though. The question is whether the footage just captured a guy fleeing in the woods (perhaps an illegal alien laborer - out west they often camp secretly in parks and river bottoms near towns), or was it done in cahoots with the camera person and kids. Whatever the answer is between those two possibilities ... it is irrelevant to bigfoot research at this stage. It is a non-bigfoot.

Researcher's Analysis of Footprint Casts Suggest Bigfoot Inbreeding
Jaime has been tracking a couple Bigfoot individuals in the Sierras for about 3 years now. He has made some interesting discoveries about the footprints he found. In this video he examines 10 and 8 inch tracks he picked up over the years. The pairs are at least a year apart. Jaime noticed "how long the heel looks and size difference between the pairs" and sees possible inbreeding.
Jaime:
This is an examination of the 10 and 8 inch tracks I have been picking up. The pairs are at least a year apart. Notice how long the heel looks and the size differences between the pairs. The 8 inch casts were taken at least 100 miles apart. Check out my www.sierrasasquatch.com site as I go into the probabilities of why this could be as I do an analysis of this. If this is inbreeding then the byproducts of inbreeding can be small adults and slow growth, something that must be considered. Do they look like a match to you?

Tim Fasano And Tom Biscardi on the Hunt for Florida's Bigfoot, Double-teams Matt Moneymaker
Biscardi And Fasano Are Working The Swamps Of Florida
Tom and his team of six Bigfoot researchers and $250,000 of high tech gear enter behind me into a deep jungle campsite to film a documentary. You will see for the next week something not seen on Animal Planet with "Finding Bigfoot." This expedition was planned to counter Moneymakers series which will feature Florida next Friday. Watch his show and watch these videos and see who is more onto Bigfoot. We already have found evidence and we will blow your minds over the next week with what we will find. Judge for yourselves! - Fasano
Tim Fasano, who calls himself the "Florida Beast Hunter" announced he have teamed up with world famous Bigfoot Hunter Tom Biscardi. Fasano, together with Tom and his team of six experts have been working the Green Swamp of Florida and the Richloam track with high-tech night optics and computer radar imaging. "This will be ground breaking for this area for this type of gear has not been used in the areas we are going into," said Fasano.Matt Moneymaker is starring in "Animal Planet: Finding Bigfoot", a new television series. Fasano and Biscardo don't seem like the type of people who will sit around and let Moneymaker have all the fun. "This expedition was planned to counter Moneymakers series which will feature Florida next Friday," said Fasano.
Fasano uploaded a few videos earlier today, and tells us there's more to come:
Animal Planet this week will kick off a six part series called Finding Bigfoot starting in Florida. We are getting the jump on them, and will show you the "real" Florida, not the stuff they fake on TV. We have allready collected fantastic evidence, and will find more when we begin night operations at four corner and west Polk county. Stay tuned. As soon as I can get back to an internet connection in range of my wireless, I will fill you in.

Who is Cliff Barackman?
Also see: Cliff Barackman Explains Using Your Senses
Cliff was born in Long Beach California, in 1970. His first bigfoot encounter occurred while camping in Northern California. Determined to understand the nature of his experience, he began immersing himself in sasquatch research. After engaging in squatching expeditions up and down the west coast, from the Sierras to the Cascades, he finally settled in the Pacific Northwest. Considering the high concentration of sasquatch sightings and similar sasquatch encounters, Portland was a practical residence for a dedicated bigfoot researcher. Today, Cliff splits his time between filming Finding Bigfoot for the Animal Planet, and teaching the fourth grade.
Cliff just recently launched a website dedicated to the new show on Animal Planet call Finding Bigfoot. This is where you will get exclusive behind the scenes commentary by Finding Bigfoot co-host Cliff Barackman. Starting May 31st, after each episode of Finding Bigfooot, Cliff will share what happened when the cameras weren't rolling!

Happy Memorial Day Bigfoot Footage
The Memorial Day Bigfoot Video
This video was filmed by Lori and Owen Pate in 1996 on Chopaka lake north Central Washington state. This video has been yet to be proven real or fake.
Before there was the Ketchikan Alaskan Bigfoot, or the Spokane River Bigfoot, there was another famous video that made it's way into the mainstream on this special Memorial Day holiday. Countless articles, blogs, and television shows have scrutinized the video, and has yet to prove whether it's real or fake. Just like it's grandmother Patty, from the infamous Patterson-Gimlin film, it has stood the test of time. It has been 15 years since the release of the video, and yet no scientific study, can conclusively prove it to be a hoax. That's what makes this one special.
The Memorial Day footage is a Hi-8mm video that is purported to show a Bigfoot. It was recorded on May 26, 1996, by Lori Pate at Okanogan County, Washington's Chopaka Laka while on a fishing trip with her family and friends. It is said to have been preceded by two sightings of an ape-like, hair covered figure at closer distances by others on the trip.Source: wikipedia.org
The footage shows a figure, matching the description of Bigfoot, running across a hill. It disappears behind a less inclined sloped area, then reappears briefly, walking, before going into a grouping of trees on the right side of the frame.
The location the film was shot was used in the documentary Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. The filmmakers took forensic measurements to determine the subject's height, path, speed, and stride by measuring the subject against fixed objects in the background. Derek Prior, a three-time All-American sprinter from the University of Washington, runs the same route as the figure to determine if the alleged Bigfoot's running speed was too fast for a human to duplicate, to compare his speed and stride to the subject's, and to give a visual comparison to the figure in the footage.
In the conclusions section of Sasquatch, the results of the measurements give the creature a height of 5.3ft (1.61m), a leg length of 2.5ft (0.76 m), a running speed of 8.56mph (13.77km/h), and a stride of 4.25ft (1.29m). Prior, on the other hand, was able to run the same path at 17.1mph (27.51km/h) and had a stride of 6.8ft (2.07m).
However, one aspect of the film remained a mystery. At the end, before the subject goes into the trees, it appears to grow taller by 8 inches (20.32 cm). Explanations offered include that it's a real animal carrying a younger animal that had climbed higher on its back; or, alternatively, that it's a mask that was pushed back on the wearer's head while unaware that they were still on camera.
Is Bigfoot a Giant Ape?
Could Bigfoot be descended from the prehistoric giant ape known as Gigantopithacus?

Just a few more days to go before Animal Planet starts to air their new show about about four experts going out to look for the truth on Bigfoot.
Finding Bigfoot is about four bigfooters: Matt Moneymaker (BFRO), James "Bobo" Fay (an enigma wrapped in a conundrum), Ranae Holland (a skeptical biologist), and Cliff Barackman (some bigfoot nerd). "Throughout the various episodes we visit locations determined by evidence from the region, eyewitness reports, and opportunities for night investigations. Lots of cool, bigfooty things happened all along the way, so I'm optimistic that this will be a great series", said Barackman.

Aussies hanging out with crazy American Bigfoot Researchers
The Aussies have been hanging out with the FB/FB (Facebook Find Bigfoot) guys for a few weeks now. On May 22, they decided to update us on what they thought about the expedition and Bigfoot so far. The verdict? They're still undecided about Bigfoot.
That's why this is so interesting. You see, it's a lot more interesting when you have people asking the right questions, like, why haven't we found any Bigfoot bones, or why haven't we captured one yet? These great questions only come from innocent bystanders and innocent Aussies. Nevertheless, these Australians hope to be proven wrong.
FYI: Aussie is Australian slang for an Australian.
Matt Sharp (one of the Aussies from the video):
Hey guys, we do not believe in the existence of Bigfoot. However, I strongly believe in the 'possibility' that it could exist. The film is not about documenting the existence, it's about documenting the culture and community of researchers, and asking questions about it's existence. We are following a group of researchers to find the facts and the opinions, so viewers can make their mind up on whether or not they think it exists. I think it's a fascinating subject, regardless of whether or not we believe it exists. My hope is that Bigfoot researchers may be taken a little more seriously as a result of this film.
Is Bigfoot a Hairy Man?
If Bigfoot exists, is it actually a form of primitive early human still surviving on Earth?

Promo Pitch for "Search for the Sierra Sasquatch"
Matt Morgan:
This is a 2 minute pitch for the promotion of the documentary "Search for the Sierra Sasquatch" to be filmed in June 2011. We are seeking donations to fund the Expedition to the Sierra Nevada's to search for evidence of this elusive creature.
Check out Matt Morgan's pitch. If you like what you hear, then you can head over to www.kickstarter.com and back them up by pledging some $dough$. Their goal is $5000, and they currently have 2 backers donating about $11. You have 29 days to do it. Support your fellow Bigfoot researchers! You can pledge a minimum of $1, so it's not going hurt you that much.
If you pledge $5 or more:
SNEEK PEEK: Being on this email list, you will get Video updates. I will be putting out some periodic blogcasts on my website and will be giving progress on how the project is going. You'll have exclusive info and insights on how the project is going that no one else will be seeing.
About the project:
On June 17th, I'm going on an expedition in the Sierra Nevadas (near Reno) to film an extraordinary event. My buddy, Jaime Avalos, and I along with a third person to handle the equipment will explore an area known to be traveled by Sasquatch. Jaime asked me to film this as I am an Independent Filmmaker and want to do a Documentary. We plan on 5 days of living out in some of the most beautiful and remote land in the Western US. There is a cave that is located about 11,000 feet above Sea Level that may have never been explored by Man. We hope to find some evidence of the Sasquatch there but also along a "Corridor of Movement" that Jaime has theorized. He has been on History Channel's Monsterquest, you can find his videos on YouTube as well.
SEARCH FOR THE SIERRA SASQUATCH will take 5 days to shoot. Nearly all of the principal photography will take place in one location: an area in the Sierra Nevada region near the California/Nevada border. The Expedition to this beautiful and remote area is very compelling as it is isolated and very few humans have been in this area. There has been a huge influx of Paranormal Reality TV Shows i.e. History Channel’s “Monster Hunters” “UFO Hunters” Animal Planet’s “River Monsters” SyFy Channel’s “Ghost Hunters,” A&E’s “Paranormal State” and a plethora of other shows.
The film has two major themes:
1) Can there be such a thing as a North American Primate? We've seen the discovery of species that were either thought to be extinct or never existed. The Komodo dragon wasn’t known to exist until 1912. The Coelacanth was only known from 65 million-year-old fossils until 1938 when a specimen was caught alive off the coast of Madagascar.
2) The search for the creature takes you on a journey through some of Continental Untied State’s more beautiful and untouched wilderness lands. The expedition to the Sierra Nevada’s with the crew is a story within a story as we see the documentary unfold. Footage of the Expedition, the exploration of a Cave that may have never been seen by Man, investigation of the habitat of the creature and delve into the theory put forth by one of the Investigators.
Our mission is to enhance the credibility of bigfoot/sasquatch research and facilitate a greater degree of acceptance by the scientific community and other segments of society for the likelihood of a biological basis behind the Sasquatch phenomenon. We are dedicated to proving the existence of the animal through the use of six basic scientific methods:
A: Asking Questions
B. Doing Background Research
C. Construct a Hypothesis
D. Test Hypothesis
E. Analyze Data and Draw Conclusion
F. Communicate Results
Where is the money going? Excellent question! Some of the money will be for Travel Costs as we go to the Sierra Nevadas, Camera Equipment (Telephoto Lenses, HD Video Tapes, Solar Charger for the Batteries) Climbing Gear (Rope, Carabiners, Harnesses, Helmets, Shoes) Food for the Expedition, Insurance, Editor Fees, PR and Marketing for the Film, compensation for the interview of Anthropology Expert Dr.Meldrum and author of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Meldrum

Local News KXLY interviews Spokane River Bigfoot uploader, Samantha more elusive than Bigfoot
Search For Bigfoot In Spokane KXLY
Local News station KXLY in Spokane tried to get an interview with Samantha about the Bigfoot footage she recorded on her iPhone at Downriver Park, but Samantha is shy, and refused the interview. Interview or no interview, that's not going to stop the news reporter from reporting on the most important story of our life time.
Source KXLY:
A Spokane woman out for a day hike along the Spokane river claims to have proof of the mysterious and elusive Bigfoot. KXLY4's Annie Bishop tried to find him.
...
"Someone asked me in the comments section if I believed in Bigfoot before the video," wrote Samantha in an e-mail to KXLY.
...
"I have never given it much thought, but now I'm not so sure. Seem real enough to me," she said.

Something new, Something furry, Something blurry captured on security camera
Unidentified
Update: Video was filmed near Upton Massachusetts about 30 miles west of Boston.
The creature in the video looks a little small to be a Bigfoot. What makes this video interesting is how large the creature appeared on the tree before it jumped down. Too blurry to tell exactly what kind of animal it is. Whatever it is, it moves fast!
Uploaded by lucysandini on May 26, 2011
This is security video captured on 5/25/11 at my house. Keep your eye on the tree next to the vehicle across the street. Watch as the blurry object descends the tree, seems to attack something in the driveway and then climbs back up the trees actually going from tree to tree. My own Bigfoot lol.
Tim Fasano Florida SkunkApe Expedition This Weekend
Bigfoot Expedition Set In Florida Memorial Day Weekend
There will be a major Bigfoot expedition over the Memorial Day weekend in Florida. A team has been assembled by Tim Fasano (fasanotampa on youtube). He has a crew from California, New Mexico, Arizona, Montana and Arkansas on its way to Central Florida. They will be using high tech infrared and thermal gear, as well as, image enhancement radar. With the use of computer software it will be able to detect anomalies in the field that are not consistent with the surrounding. Tim will be shooting hundreds of videos to put on his youtube channel and he is very optimistic about a successful outcome.

Spokane River Bigfoot, Samantha13950 not interested in getting involved

| Hiker swatting "ginormous mosquitoes" |
Inlander.com gives us a quote from Samantha13950 saying she's not interested in a news story about the Bigfoot that was caught using her iPhone and uploaded on May 24th.
"I will let you know that we were in downriver park where the big hill starts to flatten out down by the river. The video is from my iphone. I was filming my friends slapping at ginormous mosquitoes and trying to get through some thick weeds." - Samantha13950Some who have viewed the footage noticed her friend slapping something in the air and pointed out it could have been a signal for someone to walk into view, if it was a hoax. This doesn't seem to be the case at all. Samantha13950 mentioned the "ginormous mosquitoes" swarming the area and naturally her friend was swatting the mosquitoes away from his face.

Honor our heroes and adopt a war dog

| Hero war dog helped get Osama bin laden |
The AP:
While about 300 retired U.S. military dogs are put up for adoption each year, military officials say they've received more than 400 adoption applications in the three weeks since the May 2 raid. In past generations, most military dogs were euthanized once their tours of duty were done.
"They made a really big deal about Cairo being a super dog but all dogs in the military are super dogs," said Ron Aiello, president of the U.S. War Dogs Association. "These dogs are fully trained, are worth probably $40,000 to $50,000 each at least, and it's a dog that has been saving American lives. It's kind of a hero in a way."
Honor our Nation's War Dogs and adopt one today.
