Very familiar with Momo, it was one of the "incidents" that grabbed my attention back in the 70's (along with Fouke, and some others). However, Louisiana is across the state from KC and is relatively rural, especially compared to the sightings area mentioned above. Also, there are a fair number of sighting in southern MO, in the Ozarks and surrounding area. So MO has plenty of sightings, just would not expect that many in the metro areas around KC.

Included here as it is one of the first "costume" claims found besides those of Philip Morris. As it was an Associated Press (AP) wire story, it was likely carried in many newspapers and there may be earlier versions. This one is from the Sun-Journal of Lewiston (ME) and was published on January 11, 1999.

This is one of the more horrific stories one will read about people desperate enough to act the part of the Wild Man of Borneo. I've seen elsewhere, but this clip is from the The Evening Mail of Halifax, Canada. It was published on November 2, 1905.

Agreed this is a great interview. Very timely considering the upcoming supposed release of the Capturing Bigfoot piece. Mr Perez’ book, Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, is excellent. I consider it a must read for those of us who want a complete breakdown of the Patterson Gimlin Film and all its history. Mr Perez was able to tie all the loosely connected dangling threads (people, places, things) into a cohesive explanation of the timeline of events and evidence surrounding the film.

In 1993, Beth was completing Greenfield Community College’s Outdoor Leadership Program (OLP) when a required multi-day solo brought her deep into DAR State Forest in Goshen, Massachusetts. On her final night, footsteps approached her tent. Then came bright lights, deep voices, paralysis, and two massive roars she says vibrated through her teeth, jaw, and entire body. She never saw what was outside. More than 30 years later, she still wants to know what happened. Then we head into Northern Ontario with an experienced outdoorsman whose encounters include an enormous five-toed footprint, strange tracks crossing deep winter snow, massive calls moving along a remote lake, answering whistles, and something huge charging through the brush. His experiences continue into Northern California with unexplained knocks in the redwoods and a disturbing encounter among the giant sequoias. From Western Massachusetts to Northern Ontario and Northern California, Episode 1185 documents firsthand experiences that left these witnesses with questions they still cannot answer. 📖 Follow Jeremiah's cancer health updates here: https://www.caringbridge.org/site/569ef3d3-68be-11f1-8790-97fdfd2bbc64 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Excellent interview with Daniel. I'll be sending off payment for his newsletter forthwith. The comments are gold, the folks buying the caca that the PGF has been "debunked," and disproven are (to me) hilarious.

Two separate mini-Bigfoot sightings reported in an area of Pennsylvania with a history of activity Fox NewsView the full article

This one is coming up real soon. It will be held at the Wintergreen Resort near Roseland, Virginia. They have five speakers lined up. I've only heard of the first one listed. Daniel Benoit of E.C.B.R.O. (East Coast Bigfoot Researchers Org.) They do a lot of research in Virginia so it's not a surprise he would attend. Chadwick Gales, founder of Chestnut Ridge Paranormal. Chette Nichols Jr., independent researcher James Dameron John Stasko There are scenic chairlift rides you can go on, as long as you have $12.

For a concrete example, the area near Hobson's Horn, a mountain in SW Oregon, burned in 2002. Prior to that, part was still old growth forest. I hunted it in 2014 and got a deer. It had regrown to clumps of brush about chest height with gaps between. There were many fire-hardened snags fallen into the brush. It was easy to see the ground in the gaps and watch animals walk through them. It's 2026 now. I was back there in 2025. The brush has not grown significantly taller since 2014. The clear spaces have closed in some. Another part of the same ridge which connects Hobson's Horn and Silver Peak "hosts" the Silver Peak trail. This burned in 1987's "Silver Fire". It has grown back a little more but from a distance it is still fairly bare with clumpy brush because there is not much water for most of the year and, being in designated federal wilderness, there is no reforestation activity at all. I don't see any natural re-growth of pre-fire species .. douglas fir .. yet. I wouldn't expect to see much improvement for the next 150-200 years. USFS / contractors have done some replanting. These are monoculture "super trees" meant to put on the most cellulose in the least amount of time to prepare for logging and they are not doing well because it is truly too dry for them. They're stunted, some are dying because they are too weak from lack of water to out-run disease and pests. I think something will come back, some portion of them, in maybe 100-125 years, if there is no fire forcing a restart, but they will not be the original trees with the original genetics. Another location, across the main divide toward the Rogue, burned in .. I think it was 1970 or 1971. It has grown back to alder (not the original species there) and heavy brush. The alder is 30-50 feet high in places. There are some cedar / spruce and a very tiny smattering of douglas fir returning but they are 20 feet tall or less. It will be another 25 years, minimum, and more likely 50+, before they are tall enough to begin to choke out the alder and return to pre-burn forest conditions. As long as there isn't another fire, it'll be roughly 100 years between the last fire there and a return to similar-ish conditions. It doesn't mean those areas won't support wildlife. As Norseman points out, that early/middle age forest supports animals .. in fact, it may provide more edibles per acre than mature forest. Much of the old growth left where I grew up .. well, there are 2 kinds. The increase in humidity has allowed some younger trees to reach proportions you'd expect only of pretty ancient forest. Cores of those trees sometimes show growth rings approaching 1 inch across. THen there are the truly old trees, mostly found in sheltered canyons which were surrounded by very dry ridges in older times, and some of those can run 400 - 500 years old or more. If you think about it, even under the most ideal conditions .. no intervening "resets" from fire, etc .. if the original trees took 400-500 years to grow, then their replacements are also going to take 400-500 years to grow.

Grass comes back quick. With in a year. Brush comes back 3-5 years. Trees will take 5-10 years. For hunting a hot area in the west is typically 2-3 years after a fire. Ungulates love all the new foilage. But I own part of a burn that is still noticeable 50 years after the fire. Dead snags, shorter trees and lots of brush. It needs the brush sprayed and replanted.

We do not have proof of bigfoot. We have evidence for the existence of bigfoot. The difference matters greatly. The absolute and unavoidable "math" is this: we will not have PROOF of bigfoot until modern science accepts the existence of bigfoot. These are exactly identical. We have some pretty cool evidence. Some is easy enough to dismiss even if it is incorrect to do so, some is pretty hard to rationally dismiss even if a scoftic would do so.

What proof do we have of the existence of bigfoot other than the Patterson Gimlin film, foot prints, hair samples, or reports of bigfoots being seen around UFOs. There is a report from Canada that I will try and find of a bigfoot shot by a hunter outside of a small Canadian town in one of the middle providences. All of these reports play a role in nailing down the existence of bigfoot but a live bigfoot is needed or the sad proof of a bigfoot being shot and brought in by a hunter. There is another report of a live infant bigfoot named Jacko who was found along railroad tracks in Canada? Read a report about Jacko below. “The Jacko hoax was a Canadian newspaper story about a gorilla supposedly caught near Yale, British Columbia in 1884. The story, titled "What is it?, A strange creature captured above Yale. A British Columbia Gorilla", appeared in the British Columbia newspaper the Daily Colonist on July 4, 1884. The original newspaper article describes "Jacko" as a gorilla and not a Sasquatch. However, the "Jacko" story has been used by Bigfoot advocates as evidence for the existence of Sasquatch.” Why are we having so much trouble in proving the existence of bigfoot by producing a live specimen or a deceased bigfoot that was old and died or shot by a hunter? We have evidence of practically every animal living on planet Earth but not bigfoot? What's it going to take?

Sam Chandler’s journey with the Sasquatch phenomenon stretches from a remote 5,000-acre property in Ontario, Canada, to the forests of Georgia and deep into the mountains of Oregon. In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Sam shares decades of experiences that began when he was a child and continued into adulthood. He recalls unexplained footsteps around an isolated Canadian lake, violent impacts against a cabin, strange lights moving through the forest, unusual recordings captured at night, and a terrifying solo camping experience that changed his understanding of what might be happening around him. Years later in western Georgia, the encounters continued. Sam describes changing tree structures, unseen footsteps following his family, three separate sets of footsteps closing in around him, wood knocks, activity around his home, and interactions that became increasingly personal. After moving to Oregon, everything intensified. Sam takes us into remote camps near Bend, Camp Broken Arrow along the Bigfoot Highway, and the forests surrounding Oakridge. He shares experiences involving massive individuals moving through the darkness, mysterious whistles beside his tent, apparent communication, strange vibrations, rocks thrown into camp, something racing past his vehicle in the middle of the night, and an approximately 16-inch footprint discovered near a spring during Sasquatch Summer Fest 2026. Sam also shares some of his most extraordinary experiences involving what he calls the “Sasquatch people,” including encounters he believes involved direct communication and an Oregon experience in which three individuals—a male, female, and juvenile—were presented to him with remarkable clarity. This is a journey spanning more than 40 years, multiple states, and two countries. Listen through to the end. Sam’s experiences around Oakridge and Sasquatch Summerfest bring the story right into the present day.

I don't think that's automatically a strange question. It is something we should be thinking about .. society-wise, not just bigfooters. I think the best answer is "it depends." There are some really bad assumptions built into the question, assumptions that should be examined. First thing .. what we consider "normal" is not historical normal. (1) Transpiration creates a downwind moisture plume which allows forest to grow in places it naturally could not. Fire destroys not just what it burns, but the downwind moisture plume which "artificially" supports forest in places that would naturally be desert if there were no forest upwind to provide the atmospheric moisture. (2) We have 100 years and more of fire fighting / fire prevention which has altered the natural landscape. Though it is familiar to us, it is not the long term norm and it is not "natural." Complicating things further, the Native Americans / First Nations people deliberately altered the environment / landscape with large scale fire. Because they seem to have arrived before deglaciation, there probably has not been a "natural" environment, one not altered by human activity, since before the last glacial maximum. Data suggest we are in a period of rapid climate change. Second thing .. forest regrowth is though a progression of stages. Once forest is lost, we get grasslands / brush, smaller trees, etc before big trees return. This can take centuries, not decades, not years, and given changing climate conditions, I'm not sure we will have periods between fires long enough for the cycle to complete, we seem to be looking at forest -> burn -> brush -> burn -> brush -> burn -> brush .. etc. We .. in my area .. are getting much more frequent dry lighting and large fires than we have ever had in recorded history. The opportunities for mature forest to re-form under these conditions seem nil. In fact it seems the only chance of restoration is via human intervention, not via natural processes. This situation seems likely to last for centuries, maybe tens of centuries, and the new equilibrium, if there is one, won't be the one we're used to. I suspect much of North America, if humans just vanished, would turn into a land of brush and grasses with very little "reclamation" by forest as we know it because of the increased rate of lightning fires driven by global warming. Once turned to brush and grasses, it is very difficult to return to forest because conditions don't last enough years in a row for that to happen. IMHO of course! MIB

Greetings from Southern Ontario. I've always been fascinated by cryptozoology and Sasquatch/Bigfoot. Nearing retirement and I'm forward to deep-diving into the subject more.

Are mini-Bigfoots on the loose? Reports claim pint-sized creatures spotted in Pa. PennLive.comView the full article

Strange Q: I know all fires are not created equally, some wildfires can be seen as nature's way to do what nature does in a life death cycle. If an area is hit by devastating wildfires How Long does it take to rejuvenate the area where it mostly returns to 'normal' I realize the PGF area was wiped out by a flood a couple years before. Then we had the PGF. Then, 50 years later it's hard to find the spot. How long will it take for these areas to recover esp if mankind left it alone to grow back in its own?

An 11-foot Bigfoot watching from the trees. Two massive figures outside a window. A white Bigfoot lying in the snow. And an apparent infant observed for nearly 90 minutes. Robin Long Soldier shares decades of extraordinary encounters across Nebraska and South Dakota, including activity near Pine Ridge and White Clay, repeated experiences at Pioneers Park in Lincoln, photographs of suspected juveniles, quiet whoops, unexplained physical contact, and video footage she believes captured one watching her and her husband. Then more witnesses come forward. In Pend Oreille County, Washington, Gabe describes game-camera images, strange sounds, disturbed hunting camps, alleged tracks and hair near Boundary Dam. In Lewis County, Kentucky, David recalls being followed through the woods by an approximately nine-foot creature and a second 2026 encounter with a juvenile-sized figure crossing the road. Near Calaveras Big Trees in Northern California, a witness hears powerful wood knocks, growls, and a close-range hiss after venturing off-trail. Finally, Craig returns to rural Kentucky in 1977–78, where a massive silhouette stood outside his grandparents’ farmhouse and mimicked his movements. Six states. Decades of reports. Multiple witnesses telling their experiences in their own words. 📖 Follow Jeremiah's cancer health updates here: https://www.caringbridge.org/site/569ef3d3-68be-11f1-8790-97fdfd2bbc64 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?
