I see similar advice fairly often given. And one's intentions are always good when posting suggestions like this. Anyone looking at these suggested websites or podcasts any personal investigation done by members by following these sources will soon find that their own investigations will, more often than not, only progress as far as the very sources they are clicking on. And nearly ALL of those sources, as far as I can tell, are endemic in that they all hit a wall, i.e. dead end, and so anyone looking for true answers will only end up hitting that very same wall. And get stopped cold. We should be looking at ways to either go over the wall or bust through it, otherwise progress toward truth and discovery will keep everyone snared in an endless loop relying on "experts" to do the heavy lifting. So far that has resulted in zero where something as relatively simple as proof of existence seems to take a left turn. The obvious pattern here is to stop short. So I ask you, is there really and truly a good reason for that kind of pattern of always stopping short to even still exist in this community? There IS an answer to that question: Yes, because we put up with it, and in most cases even support the people responsible for that pattern.

A very good summary, Huntster. After reading many, many sighting reports, this fits with what I’ve read. I would like to see others’ comments about these observations, like how long reports came in of sightings in any certain urban community. Also, isn’t it possible to research this topic thru use of the SSR database?

Watching the above episode 6. Roughly 10 minutes in there is a scene where the kids/family are knocking snow off the trees by hitting them (wood knocks) with the back of axes, as the film rolls a tall dark/Black upright figure walks through the trees on two leggs in the background!! Anyone else seen this? Secondly one of the cabin owners has a photo of a chimps head stuck to the door on the outside of his cabin, anyone else think this a little odd?

Hi folks sorry for your concern. As the big male BF told me once in a dream, rumors of my extinction are very much exaggerated. Or maybe that was Mark Twain. I lost access (password) to the yahoo account that I use for the forum and due to that and a fussy password here have been unable to sign in. Just now figuring out how to get back in although logging in here was confusing and it took me several trys to get in. I did have a bad case of COVID in 2020 that took me out of field work. Have not fully recovered yet. In the mean time I have had a lot of time to think about field work in general. My encounter experience progressed from playful interaction at first and got more and more ounfriendly as time went on. I was dealing with a family group in a fairly small area who were apparently not nomadic in that they were there year round. Then clear cut logging started at the North end of their area and worked south wiping out most lanes of travel cover for them. I was present in the daytime three or more times a week. I had to have been a major problem for their food gathering and hunting. As you may remeber I cornered one against a ridgeline and advanced on it as fast as I could move through difficult down wood, trying to get it to break cover. That got me growled at and a tree broken off behind me. The final contact resulted in an infrasound attack from a very close distance. I cannot understand how I did not see the administrator of that attack because it was less than 10 feet away as evidenced by a large depression in the veggetation. It was painful, frightening, and kept me out of the woods for a couple of months. As I recovered from Covid I had a lot of time to think. The combination of my frequent presence and the clear cutting process had to put a lot of stress on that family group. I did not see or understand that I was a big part of their problem. They may have even thought I was part of the clear cut crew. I stopped seeing any footprints after a few months and stopped having any contact. Anyway I feel a lot of guilt for my part in disrupting their life and being part of the forces that made them move. The final concern I have about continuing with field work in some form is that along with the infrasound event, I had several instances where I heard something moving close by and should have seen it because of lack of cover, but did not see a thing. In one case something ran past behind me and hit my pack. I was in the middle of a logging road with no cover with ten yards or so. I cannot help but shake the feeling that they are capable of masking or going invisible somehow. Are we dealing with some predator type creature? tha Anyway that is were I am with regard to field work. I do not plan on staying out of the woods but my primary purpose for being there will be for some other reason. Maybe that is the best route to take anyway?
