How do those form castable tracks? .. minus that, there are times I'd like to agree with you, even about my own experiences ... just make it all go away. But those damned tracks ... plaster doesn't have an imagination for the tracks to be a figment of, y' know? So unless you know something I don't know about our subconscious' ability to make tracks, I think there has to be a physical entity involved. MIB

Hello. I'm one of those people who has for years been visiting this site but never joined. I've enjoyed reading the many posts and conversations on the subject of Bigfoot. I've been fascinated (hence my username) in Bigfoot since I saw the movie "Mysterious Monsters" as a kid. Since then I've been waiting for a great bigfoot movie to be made. Although I did enjoy aspects of "Exists", most films on the subject are pretty bad. I actually have written some amateur TV/Film scripts and have often thought of diving into the subject. I think I've read almost every sighting report on the internet! I'm originally from South Jersey but now live in Pennsylvania and want to someday make it out to the West Coast to "roam around the woods" so to speak. -Fascinated

If I was going on my early research and like for a name I would have gone paranthropus which I believe is the more modern name for what was zinjanthropus at one time; only problem is they were a little too primitive for what I have determined Sasquatch to be at this late date, which is more Heidelbergensis like to me.

Im glad to hear this response. It’s going to take more like you to crack this case. I’m happy to hear you are willing to answer questions. They are going to come up, not always out of disbelief but sometimes out of curiosity.

Thanks Felix for sharing this with the BFF community. I know it took a lot of effort and time on your part.

If you say so, but the more we learn about Neandrathals specifically, they had some element of culture or at least proto culture, guess we just have a slightly different lense.

Slipped my leash yesterday and got out into the field. Talk about social distancing, I never saw another human. The objectives were to visit my old research area and show my companion as many of the contact locations as I could. Both to add context to my encounters and look for any signs of present activities. I pulled into the road leading to the NEON site, and a large sign indicated that the area was now off limits due to the COVID 19 thing. Worried about something getting the virus? I wonder. What was puzzling was that I passed a popular county park getting there and it was packed with vehicles and people hiking around. I nearly blew off the trip but being so familiar with the area, knew a way in, that would not take me near any warning signs. We parked and hiked in. The first location was where I had been subjected to chest beating because I had peed in front of a watching bigfoot. I have mentioned, that after reporting that encounter to the BFRO, I noticed two trees had been marked with blue paint about a month later. When I pointed that out to my hiking companion I noticed for the first time that the paint on both trees had a blue FU. Now I am wondering who did that and what FU means. We slipped around a locked gate and hiked into the area on an abandoned logging road. The next location was the collapsed lava tube and the spring that bubbles out of it. Near that was the log which I was hiking past that got me zapped. A tree had blown down and now rested on top of the rotting log. It is larger than I remember. It is about 4 feet in diameter and a BF could easily have hidden next to it and not been seen. The stick that I had found inside the log and left there was not in it but laying nearby. The log is definitely full of termites. I could see the side of the log full of termite borrows. No indication that it had been messed with further since I had last been there, other than the stick was no longer inserted into it. From that point we went to the location where I got growled at. While there was some down threes when that happened, there were many more there now. When you clear cut, the trees at the edge of it are exposed to unrestricted wind and blow down at horrific rates. Some of the root balls were 20 feet in diameter. After traversing the clear cut, we went into a area where a creek runs downhill in a forested area and I have found many footprints crossing the human trail. Another human had been there recently, but no BF prints. The next location visited was where I had my first encounter. Standing in the same spot, I described the approaching whoops, pointing in their direction, and how I was standing in the trail with no nearby cover to hide behind. I just stood there, expecting to be run over by the producer of the heavy footfalls headed right at me. When I finished telling about the event and we took a different route back to the truck. My companion was surprised that I knew the area so well. On the abandoned logging road, I showed the location where I was hit on the back pack by a rock. The wonderful thing about the area was that is was so active yet was in just a few square miles. I was really lucky to have found it. But at the same time it hurts to have it go inactive. We managed to get back to the truck and be home before night fall.

You're right, of course, but you're research in the beginning was very important in setting up your "luck". It gave you the area you focused on. You put the pieces together and went out there. I also think intuition is actually the result of one's subconscious organizing data which then gets brought forward when in the field. We end up noticing thing in the field that we would otherwise miss. Sure, there some luck involved when it comes to discovering trace evidence, but there's more to it than that.

I suspect most footprint finds are entirely accidental. During the dry months they were very hard to find even though the area was active. I have stated it before but my footprint findings and active area location was not entirely accidental. At the danger of boring the reader, let me detail the process of finding my research area so that others can use it with similar circumstances. I started my field research by reviewing BFRO and published book sighting reports. I found a small cluster in an area fairly close to where I live. I was able to visit the exact locations of each sighting report. Looking around and trying to figure out at the location what the BF was doing in the area. One sighting by a newspaper carrier near the Lewis River was easy to find the exact spot from the BFRO report. Logic said that the BF was coming to water. Possibly to fish at night because the river has a Steelhead run or just to drink. Across the road I noticed sign of a game trail coming straight down the hill to the road. Examination showed use but no hoof prints for deer or elk. It was quite steep and while a human could come down, there were easier spots fairly close a human could do. Since the game trail pointed that direction, and across the river was a named mountain with a history of vocalizations in the mid 1990s, I wondered if the BF was traveling that direction and crossing the river. I was able to get to the other side of the river opposite to where the game trail came down to the road. Sure enough, a faint game trail came up from the river up a steep embankment. The human trail in that location was steep and a series of switchbacks. I could not follow the game trail directly but could by using the human trail with switch backs. At the side margin of the human trail, I found a partial footprint in the gravely soil, that was 5.5 inchs wide at the toes, and plainly showed toes. Based on the width that makes the foot likely over 20 inches long. The footprint and a smeared print on the other side indicated the BF had stepped across the muddy human trail and continued straight up the mountain on a faint game path. I followed that up the mountain as far as i could. Ok recent footprint and old vocalizations sure pointed to that mountain. I climbed it several times, summer and winter but never found any more footprint evidence. Then to my dismay they began clear cutting the Northern flank of the mountain. That continued across the top and down the East side to the Southern flank. Anything there would be pushed South. The trail up and over the mountain was not fun because of the climb, so I located the end of the trail to the South with easier vehicle access and began to explore that area. Pretty much being chased by the logging I began to hike around an area by a year round creek. One July day, it was hot, the trail was getting overgrown and I was wearing shorts, so I turned around went South instead of North, then turned again to explore a side trail, heard distant whoops back and forth, that were coming my direction, one headed directly for me. Heavy footsteps, breaking underbrush, heading towards me, I had no place to hide near the trail and waited to get run over. It saw or smelled me and went into a crouch with a big thud. Seconds later 4 rapid wood knocks, then silence. Moving towards the sounds camera ready, I got my picture of the juvenile peeking over the ferns at me. Well at that point the encounter and the BF traveling into that area seemed significant. I targeted that area as my research area, found footprints periodically. and had several encounters with what seemed to be a family of them. That continued until clear cutting rolled though the area and displaced them. That was the entire evolution of how I found my research area and others likely could use the same process to find an active area.

Disagree, It would have been outcompeted by better suited competitors in new surroundings. Or predated on. A more proto human derivative is much more likley.

I have to go with none of the above. I am still undecided on weather or not they are a physical projection from our own unconscious minds that has take form ala Jungian thought. There is too much paranormal phenomenon being reported around them and I have a hard time believing that an animal species has developed abilities on the level that are being reported. I also cannot account for it being a full fledged flesh and blood creature that for some reason attracts paranormal phenomenon.

I'm in good company, with Dr. Meldrum, in selecting Giganto. Or an evolved version, one that adjusted to, and adapted within its environment as it slowly moved along the land bridge that brought it to N America. Such adaptations could account for a completely changed diet, one that would facilitate its immigration to these shores.
