Wade takes viewers along on an epic odyssey, from the depths of Scotland’s Loch Ness to the volcanoes of Iceland and waters of Norway, to track down the world’s-most-famous water-dwelling monster.

Here are some some new Messin’ With Sasquatch videos from Jack Links Beef Jerkey. These usually offer a decent chuckle and a break from the serious side of the search for Sasquatch. The Messin’ With Sasquatch have become a fairly fun and enjoyable series of themed commercials to those in and out of the Bigfoot communities. If nothing else it brings Sasquatch into the mainstream media a little more and in a playful sort of way unlike the usual reports and hoaxes. Below is a sneak peak at three of the new upcoming commercials from Jack Links for you to enjoy. Hopefully they can bring a short spurt of Sasquatch enjoyment to your day !

Gordon Holmes has been searching for proof of the Loch Ness Monster for ten years and he has decided to mark the occasion with an exhibition on the legendary creature. He has gathered up all of his home made gadgets, maps, photos, newspaper clippings, and artwork and put them on display at his local library in Shipley. Holmes has put together some very innovative gadgets in an attempt to discover the mysterious lake monster on a very limited budget. Even though some critics scoff at his chosen past time he takes it very seriously. He makes sure to point out that he is not a Loch Ness monster hunter instead he is a Loch Ness Monster investigator and is in search of proof of Nessie and not to capture or kill it.

In 2007 Holmes persistence paid off when he was able to capture video footage of something very strange in the Loch which some think may be Nessie. The video captured something breaking the surface of the Loch which can’t quite be identified. The video has been analysed by Loch Ness Monster experts and among others and some believe it could very well be the monster while some others believe it may show whats known as a Cat’s Paw which is a sort of whirlwind condition on the water. But Holmes says that what he observed through his viewfinder that day was very much a living creature and it may be the best evidence we have of the Loch Ness Monster to date.

 
Mr Holmes love for Nessie is shared by people from around the world and he says he has seen tourist from America, Japan, and even Germany along the banks of Loch Ness. He continues his search for Nessie with his latest project “Sky-Ness” which consists of nine helium-filled party balloons fitted with camcorders flying high above the Loch in hopes of catching more footage of the creature. Holmes exhibition will be on display until May 14th.

This is a very interesting video made by Barbara Shupe of a Sasquatch encounter she had in the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. While on a hike behind her cabin on Nov 1st 2012 she said she heard some strange whistles and talking and then seen a massive gorilla like creature following some elk which she believes is Bigfoot. She also claims that on March 28, 2013 she had a second sighting of a young Bigfoot jumping through some treetops in that same area of the mountains. There are pictures of a footprint and hand prints found under the trees after the sighting. She recounts here Bigfoot sightings in the video below at the actual locations along with showing the pictures of the prints. Watch the video and decide for yourself if you think she actually saw Bigfoot.

Here is an interesting audio recording from Ontario Canada that some believe may be from a Sasquatch. The audio recording called Sasquatch speaks is described as some of the best Sasquatch vocal evidence to date. These rare audio recordings of an alleged Sasquatch were recorded on March 3rd 2013 according to the witness. The witness said that when you hear the voice of Sasquatch its a deeply live altering experience. The witness claims that this is his third overall vocal incident with Sasquatch and believes these audio recordings can answer many questions surrounding Sasquatch. Here are the alleged Sasquatch audio recordings for you to listen to and decide for yourself if this is indeed Sasquatch or not !

The film Shooting Bigfoot premiered in Toronto at the Hot Docs festival. The story surrounding the film was that a Bigfoot was shot and killed and it was all caught on film and that someone was in possession of a Bigfoot body. Part of the story or rumor was that Morgan Matthews was ran over and knocked down a live Bigfoot. Rumors have been circulating for months that this film was going to blow the lid off the Bigfoot mystery. But now that some reviews are in this doesn’t seem to be the case and news isn’t very good. Here is an interview with the Shooting Bigfoot director Morgan Matthews about the documentary and its lack of any footage of a Bigfoot Body or even the shooting of a Bigfoot. In fact Matthews reveals in the interview that he is even unsure as to if Bigfoot even exists. Now it seems like this whole story could be one big hoax although Bigfoot hunter Rick Dyer still claims to be in possession of a Bigfoot body which will be shown on August 15.

Here is the interview of Mr. Matthews and you can decide for yourself if this group is possibly attempting to hoax the Bigfoot community.

Here is some very interesting video footage of a mysterious creature in the waters of Lough Foyle in Ireland. The footage was shot by some students making a fishing film called “Fishing with David Lynch” when the creature was seen breaking the waters surface. The creature seems to be quite large and even though there have been reports of whales in Lough before it doesn’t appear to be a whale. For years there have been stories told by locals about mysterious sightings often explained away by people saying it was whales or even wrecked german u-boats. But some believe it may actually be a Loch Ness Monster type of lake monster in Lough Foyle.

Here is the Ireland Loch Ness Monster Video:

Two young boys in Lakeville Massachusetts found a large five toed foot while out in the woods and many believe it could be the foot of Bigfoot. The decomposed foot was picked up by local authorities and sent to the medical examiner who determined it was not human. It appears to have five toes and a some what human like form causing some to believe it could very well have once been attached to Bigfoot. Skeptics believe it is likely a bear paw and not a foot from Bigfoot but its actual identity remains a mystery until further testing which is now under way is completed. Here is a photo of the foot found by the boys so you can have a look and decide if you think it could actually be a Bigfoot foot.
