Not that I'm aware of. Smeja only surfaces when someone recycles the story thinking there are clues yet to be discovered, and he may answer questions based on that. I think BF audiences have squeezed all that is going to be squeezed out of this one. Not mindspeak. He became emotional, realizing he shot what appeared be a somewhat human looking child.

The giganto model for bigfoot makes very little sense to me.

so that was interesting The grand finale was a phone conversation with Alexi and "Gregor" from Russia. This is Gregor: I'm meeting up with Igor and others later this morning. I'll try to get my BS detector calibrated, but when this was presented, he was a serious as a heart attack. SOMEBODY is going to share video I'm sure... I'd keep an eye on Youtube and Facebook for it. One of my friends described the quality of the conference pretty well I think... The blind leading the blind. (talking about the ones leading the show, not any presenters) $50 for two days, I'm not gonna complain too much. I'll probably go back. The production quality (audio/video) was not good, but audio was admittedly much better on day 2, when they moved the speakers closer to the crowd. The Pavilion is too cold in April.

Well if the DNA came back bear then there is not much one can do anything about that. Bear DNA is bear DNA. Simple as that. If he would have picked up that baby carcass it would be a different story right now. One of us is just going to have the guts to shoot one and bring it in for inspection. This way we can have real DNA of this creature.

Interesting video. The fact that erectus was able to sail to Java somewhere between 1.3-1.6 mya really does open up the possibility that they may have been able to colonize the Americas much sooner than even MIS 6 or MIS 5. I have to wonder if they might have even been here as early as the Calabrian period which would certainly explain the circumstances surrounding the Lake Chapala brow ridge.

Yeah, I remember wanting a Hamilton Pulsar around that time period. They were the coolest things! But, they were very expensive at the time, probably around $100-150... Needless to say, my parents did not get me one. Of course, those types of watches quickly came down in price and 2-3 years later, most everyone had one of some type.

Jeez. That was like ten years ago. If you want to read up, there's pages of info here and plenty of related podcast type stuff and it's complicated. Some honest big names believed him, so I think it happened mostly as told. However, the whole thing was a mess and the displays of greed by some orbiting were revolting. Imagine making a "movie" about such a shameful incident. Probably about the time I decided that "discovery" was not something to wish for. I recall in some interview, or maybe the movie, he said something I always thought odd. He said he picked up the baby and watched it dying, "then a bunch of other stuff happened" and then his friend found him, etc. He acted quite unnerved, IMO, so I wonder if he got some sort of mindspeak. We'll never know, I guess.

There was a time when Bigfoot specimen hunters were not soft and went hand to hand with these so called "apex predators". Now, Bigfoot specimen hunters take an impersonal approach with high powered weaponry. If you went old school and had some Jet Li moves, there shouldn't be any problem. A steak knife or machete should be enough to overpower it.

Hi everyone. I am thrilled to be part of this forum! I live in Wales, and have gradually become more and more interested in Bigfoot over the past couple of years. I used to believe it was all overactive imaginations... then I started reading the accounts. I look forward to research, personal experience and intelligent conversation on this website.

Wouldn't it be great if one of these close encounter events that spins endlessly involved someone familiar with BF? That person would have their HD camera ready to pull out within seconds or a GoPro. He would have a machete and no fear of chopping a hand or finger or something easy to place in a sterile container, scoff at BF's pain as he whimpered away with a "why'd you do that you bully, I was only bluff charging" growl. Investigator heads back to civilization with non-faked video from a confirmed, exact GPS location, print casts, genetic samples that were fresh and a biologist with a lab is in the same region who offered to do do all the testing for free.

Hello! Former member here and unfortunately I forgot all of my log in info, even the email I used when I signed up. My cousins and I had a sighting about 20 years ago and more recently my wife and I were camping and heard the most blood chilling scream. This piqued her interest in the subject so I figured she’d like to join in on some of the amazing topics on here! Hope all is well with everyone!

Yeah it was the same here, after talking to the land owner they didnt have any freeze warnings or frost on the ground in the mornings the days I was worried about. With any luck the berries will do much better this year than last. That late freeze in 2019 in central WV wiped out most of the berries that year and last year was in recovery. Fingers crossed for a good year this year were going to try and get out there at the peak.

The discussion seems to draw from the description (from the book "Other Origins" ) of how the giganto model was made, and the quotes are reasonably correct. The only error, which Dr. Ciochon made himself, was to say he sought me out, when it was I, looking for anthropologists to team with, found him and made the inquiry about a collaboration. But generally the material in the video is correct. The full scale model was indeed a hypothetical design, given we don't have any fossil material but jawbones and teeth. And it was assumed to be a quardaped, and only posed standing up to show off it's true body size, not to suggest it was bipedal. The one arm was raised to suggest it was standing to reach for some kind of fruit. For the record, I don't consider Giganto as a relative of sasquatch. Based on the PGF figure, I personally think she is a hominid, derived from some relic human form such as paranthapus boisei or early neanderthal. Bill

Hello! Looooong time lurker, finally signed up!

I'm pretty sure you are correct. It could be borderline possible under the most extreme conditions ... essentially, the closer a population is to extermination (both in small size and extreme pressure) the quicker it can adapt, but that is too much. Further factor is it has to be isolated from a larger gene pool and the presence of the Native American people would have been a genetic buffer greatly slowing such adaptation. In other words, the BF / human split has to have been farther back. I think it most likely they arrived via the Bering land bridge in one of the 3 earlier episodes rather than the 1 most recent episode. I think they did indeed change rapidly from whatever our shared ancestor was because of extreme survival pressure, but that ancestor was something other than Homo sapiens. Maybe H. erectus, maybe not. If not, it was something older yet, not something newer. IMHO .. which is subject to changing my mind if evidence comes forward. MIB

I managed to "almost" finish the route I failed to complete last Sunday. Today was a beautiful warm spring day, so I headed out to try the Silver Skagit route again. The roadblock at km 26 was gone, and just beyond it, the after effects of what must have been a killer windstorm were evident, with not dozens, but hundreds of tree stubs along each side of the road where work crews had removed all the trees blocking the route, and many hundreds more were down in the forest. A campsite that our group has used in the past is blocked by trees down just yards off the main road, so I continued to the alternate that we used a few times about 10 km. further along. About 2 sq.km. around it are charred by a forest fire, and it looks like a war zone. Just a short 100 m or so down the road on the other side I did find a trail into a nice clearing that's big enough for 3 or 4 trucks to park and camp. I found bones there, most looked deer size, but there were 2 oddballs, large ribs that had been cut at one end. I carried on into the Provincial Park, and saw another large burn, starting at the east side of the road and going right up the side of the mountain. The road was gated just before the large campsite at Ross Lake, so I had to turn around there. Before heading back, I walked across a cable supported footbridge across the Skagit River to a meadow area some 700 yards into the forest on the other side to stretch my legs from the bumpy drive. There was a fair bit of traffic, and most roadside clear spots had campers or day trippers in them.

Janice Carter? @GuyInIndiana Do you know anything about this conference?

*shrug* what does it matter if some dudes want to film their trip looking for Bigfoot and try to make a little money? If you don't want to watch it, no one is going to force you to. I don't have a problem with people making money off of Bigfoot. I DO have a problem with people lying to make money. I would much rather pay a couple bucks to watch an honest documentary rather than watch a "free" TV show that is primarily drama for the camera and false pretenses.

Imo opinion he wasn't lying. He had details and bf behaviors that weren't commonly known or discussed at that time. That incident was a prime example of the cover up around Wildman. The govt more than likely has software to where they can crack into the sequencer and change results. Similar to that alleged ability they have where they can extract, delete, or add, information to your home cpu from a distance. Or at the least they accessed the property and switched the samples. But yeah it happened.
