gigantor, Here it is, really no comparison to the PGF sasquatch. Just another example of a man in a suit lookin' nothin' like the filmed sasquatch seen in the PGF. Even the few steps he takes wearin' the suit, he seems to have trouble with. Pat...

A portal forming!

I appreciate all the comments, including those calling me foolish for trying. I admit that I should have turned around earlier, but once I had started up the slope that led to where the pics are, I really had to continue to a more level turn around, as there was no way I was going to try backing down the steep part. The Outlander hybrid has amazing climbing ability, with electronic traction control that really works, limited only by ground clearance, which was not a problem here. It also has selectable levels of regenerative braking of the electric motors (one on both front and rear axles), which I had cranked to the max for the descent. Though not quite as effective as a transfer case in low/low, it does a great job of slowing the SUV with no wheel lock up, which is key in that situation. I am running winter rated tires, though they will be replaced with more aggressive off road types in the near future. As for chains, Mitsubishi says don't use them, as it plays havoc with the previously mentioned traction control system. Owning it only a year, I'm still getting a feel for the Mitsu's abilities, and must say that it has continuously amazed me. No, it's not a hard core off roader, and I've had a few of those, but it will take me almost anywhere I want to go, but I will rein in my enthusiasm a bit in the slippery slopes. @cmknight That's a great area to search in, as well. We usually have a couple of group camps up there every year, some of which I've described in V 1.0 of this thread, I believe. I hope to meet you out in the field again this year, maybe PM when you're heading out, and I'll drop in for a coffee and a chat. The campsite you refer to is probably the one where Thomas investigated a multi witness sighting back in '86. He was able to find tracks across the road from the site, where the witnesses stated it had retreated through the forest and climbed a scree slope up the mountainside out of sight. Interesting to hear there's still activity there!

"pure ignorance and wishful thinking"?? 🤩 lol That's great McSquatch. Just let us know when that '$500, better than Patty, carpet-based Bigfoot costume' is ready. We'll wait another 50 years with bated breath...

Strange things happen with Sasquatch and trees not dissing that. In my research I had three species of intersecting props intertwined in a tri-trunked poplar, some of the species of props did not seem to be from the local hollow. I had another experience where the top of a pine snag that was an obvious blowdown was stood up far enough away from where the natural fall would have occurred that it would have had to have been something with hands doing the arranging; practical joking humans? Unlikely. Human, sasquatch? Probably not human this far out, it was in an area where other high strangeness occurred too, huge caches of shelled black oil sun flower seeds piled up? Not a neighbor for several miles as the crow flies. I have pictures but would prefer not to hijack this thread though I will post them up and set up a link to my research page which has been inactive for some time (might take awhile but I will make the link when I can).

I have been assured by a couple of women that the scent they like the best is that of money. As I recall, there was even a male fragrance years ago, that was supposed to smell like money. I suppose that the real thing may work with some women. The old man and the trophy wife thing seemed very common when I was in California last weekend.

To accuse Patterson of hoaxing the film is either ignorance (willful or unintentional) of the film and associated footprint detail as well as the history of the area, or being overwhelmed by the "irrational rejection based on an emotional response to the possibility that the Sasquatch actually exists" that Dr. Grieve wrote about, or a lawyeresque attack on Patterson in order to destroy the acceptance of sasquatchery. I have come to believe that government knows of the existence of these creatures and has taken an intentional position of faux ignorance and covert downplay upon direct sasquatch reports from field employees and the public. I based that belief on several factors, but primarily upon the behavior of government personnel from the lowest level blue collar employees and contractors in the field to executive pay schedule appointees over the past half century since the Patterson film was shot and published. The official silence or snide commentary of outdoor based agencies at both the state and federal level are deafening. It is precisely the behavior that I used and observed in my own 35 year career as a federal employee and administrator. I have also pondered the reasons for this phenomenon, and have also come up with a few good possibilities and likelihoods. First, field personnel and front line supervision and administration are reluctant to report activity upstream for the same reasons why private citizens often don't report it; belittlement, disbelief, ridicule, and danger to one's professional career. Secondly, the existence of these creatures will greatly complicate government responsibility, and this fact is exponentially so if they end up scientifically designated as a hominin. In fact, if these creatures are determined to be a human sub-species, it may be the most significant event in the history of this planet since the life of Christ, or at least will register up there with the development of atomic energy and space travel.

I re-collated Bobbie Short's collection from the area (hers were collated around communities, and I did so chronologically). I only included those reports between the ocean on the west, I-5 on the east, the Oregon border on the north, and Highway 36 to the south. (These parameters were rather arbitrary and exclude a whole bunch of reports that might include the resident sasquatch population of the region). This should be cross referenced and married up with John Green's and BFRO's database and Tirademan's historical list for a more complete picture, as well as including the Shasta area, southwest Oregon area, and the area between Highway 36 and the Bay Area. My own learning on animal migrations (including those of notable seasonal migrations like barren ground caribou) strongly indicates that migrations over 500 miles are uncommon and unlikely for individual animals. As an example, a migration from the Bluff Creek area directly to the Blue Mountains isn't likely, first because of the distance, and secondly because of the geography between the two regions. If Patty's immediate family migrated out of the area, they almost certainly traveled north or south within either the Coast Range or the Cascades, or southeast around the Shasta shadow into the Sierra Nevada mountains. http://www.bigfootencounters.com 1886.

Each post was pulled up out of its concrete piling in the ground which Schofield said required unheard of strength and was probably done because it blocked a pathway the Big Feet people used to reach the creek every night. Pointing toward the hillside, he told Betty Allen, "They come down the hill there, you can see their tracks and they seem to go down to the creek to drink or maybe to go up it, because no tracks come back up the hill. They come out somewheres else," he told Allen.

If the tree was planted in the ground with no roots, then a simple dead lift is possible. Since a 60 foot tree has large roots going out horizontally in all directions for a long ways and some fairly deep, then it no longer is a simple dead lift. You would be literally standing on what you are lifting. It would be nearly impossible to walk with a large root wad. the tree would have had to be broken off above the ground to walk with it.

Patty appears in a movie filmed in 1967. Skeptic proposed ape costumes appeared in lots of movies and TV shows. skeptics don’t offer a video clip of these suits in action which appeared in movies That makes no sense if one is arguing the movie suits look and can do what Patty does. An apples to apples comparison should be the standard. Instead,, it’s a still pic of a costume we are lead to believe was altered somehow but is never demonstrated or explained just how.

That really is a spectacular video. You have to watch closely for the entire video editing to see what is going on. I see a team of 3-4 BFs working together to take the tree down. 1-2 jump up and hit it high while 1-2 work together at the base. The video is relevant to me as I had an experience several years ago where I was warned off an area by an unbelievable scream followed by shaking of pine trees that was so violent my first thoughts were a plane and then when that didnt make sense a meteor was crashing through the trees.

Finking Funker is always looking for "hits" and "ratings" it is a youtube kinda thing. I lost faith in any cogent analysis after about five videos.

This particular case was very heart wrenching. I couldn't imagine what the parents went through. I have 20 acres mostly forested in east Tennessee. We bought it 3 years ago and are about 2 miles from Catoosa wildlife management area, which is about 60,000 acrea, and i can tell you, when my grandchildren come to visit they are not out of our sight for one second.

Watch this one. Somehow he came up with a better quality film. I can see the feller buncher now. You can only see the top of the boom.

it's a process commonly called "ventilating" and the needle is far smaller than any crochet needle. You can't even see the hook without a magnifying glass. Most good quality men's toupees and the lace front hairline of wigs (plus moustaches and beards) are done this way also. I've done it and once did a full man's aging wig, which took me 35 hours. Experienced wigmakers can do it much faster. There are very few times in all of Hollywood history where somebody tried to make a full hand tied (ventilated) fur body suit.

Bull Montana.....A name that strikes awe in the most devoted of gorilla men ! Where other ape actors worked their primate wonders with elaborate costumes and mechanized masks, Bull Montana played apes... without a mask ! In the 1920 film " Go and Get It" Bull plays a fierce ape man named Ferry. Ferry it seems, was a poor gorilla who had a human brain transplanted into his hairy noggin by a mad scientist. (is there any other kind?) To help Bull channel his inner ape, he was teamed with skilled make-up artists Cecil Holland, and Charles Gemora. Using materials of cotton, colodian, yak hair, and hand carved gorilla dentures, Holland skillfully transformed the hulking ex-boxer into a gruesome gorilla. The great Charles Gemora had the task of making Bull's fur suit, hand tying the hair a few strands at a time with a crochet needle, into a loose weave backing. The beastly team were so successful in their efforts, that five years later, they teamed up again for " The Lost World" 1925. In the Lost World, Bull played an early ancestor of man, who terrorized the Challenger expedition. Bull was filmed fairly close-up, drooling horrifically while peering from behind rocks. This was a true testament to Cecil Holland and Charles Gemora's incredible artistry !

Because proof (IAW both valid scientists and pseudoscientists) only consists of a carcass, and that is a whole bunch more difficult to produce than to demand, especially since doing so is also illegal. 1) Extraterrestrial visitors 2) Lake "monsters" throughout the northern hemisphere, both Old World and New 3) Other man-beasts in the Old World 4) How about some DNA evidence of an ancient polar bear in the Himalayas (if you believe "science", that's a slam-dunk, isn't it?.....or is that only when DNA "dis-proves" Bigfoot?) 5) Giant squid, described by many people literally thousands of years ago, and only accepted by modern science in slow phases from 1850 to as recently as the first photographs of a live specimen in 2006 6) The gorilla, also legend for over 3000 years until a carcass was brought to Europe bt Paul duChaillu in 1855 7) Maybe a few of the 229 new species discovered in 2018?: https://earthsky.org/earth/new-species-2018

HiFlier, The kids are lied to. I do not praise their actions. They should be written up for missing school. The Earth goes through cycles of weather. Earth wobbles and the axis of tilt varies. We have heat waves, snow and flooding, all part of cycles. Check out the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Can't blame that on Henry Ford or US Steel. The sea level concern is over rated. If you are worried about the sea level, pump the salt water to the low parts of continents. Look at the economy of the Great Salt Lake. I know someone who did the brine shrimp fishery there. Lake Death Valley....... think of the recreation dollars. Pump salt water into the Sahara Desert. The water will find its way to the bedrock and ancient river beds. You had a post with a list of names in a vertical column. If they stood next to me, I would not know who they are. However, that list has decades of failure. You are on email #5. Do you send them with a 'return notice of receipt' flag? Good luck with #5.

A "rough and shaggy" man was carrying something on its shoulder. Hmm. This is probably Paulides' best story.

Also, if Bigfoot used portals to travel? They would be wiping out krespy kreme donut shops and 7/11's!

Wait a minute... you're in Alaska, I thought it was obvious to everyone there that there is global warming? At least that's how the climate change folks portray it... This year in Iowa I'd like a refund on my carbon credits... I thought 'red wolves' had been determined to just be wolf/coyote crosses?

More DNA magic, as well as the lack of such, all wrapped up in the same story........again. It's like climate science; global warming will end up freezing you to death. Yet we are to believe that DNA from hominid fossils dead for dozens of thousands of years ago have "proven" that they are us.

Actually, that long list is primarily because the area got hit hard by several serious on-the-ground researchers, and got focused on immediately after "initial contact" when the timber industry first penetrated the area. There are precious few areas like that left within prime sasquatch habitat along the temperate Pacific coast. The initial invasion of this area got lots of the locals going in addition to the outside sasquatch hunters. Many of the above reports were by the guys who were going in there to work daily building more roads into the area. Green just documented it well. And even with all that activity between 1958-1970, most of it was footprint finds. There were only a few actual sightings. These creatures are incredibly elusive. It was incompletely described. The trackway was in snow and observable from the air.

Getting into a shootout with anyone should result in somebody getting killed, and I intend for it to be the other guy.
