sasquatch

Last fall, after several people called police saying they saw something that looked like Bigfoot on the Northwest side of San Antonio, we were contacted by a group of men who call themselves Bigfoot investigators. They said they’re convinced that Sasquatch is here and probably always has been. So, our Delaine Mathieu said — prove it!

Last December, a homeless couple in San Antonio called 911 saying they saw something in the woods off Highway 151 and Culebra. “I would be a liar if I said I thought I knew what it was, but I don’t know. I know it picked up that deer and walked,” reported the caller. Police checked it out, but nothing was ever found.

Troy Hudson believes Bigfoot is here. He used to work for the Department of Homeland Security and now runs TBIG — The Bigfoot Investigation group in Dallas. “I’ve been in the woods a lot as a child and I’ve seen things I can’t explain to you,” Hudson told us.

We set up camp with him and his colleague, Chase Robinson at Garner State Park in Uvalde County near Leakey — where a man in a truck reportedly saw a Bigfoot on Highway 83 in 2006. “It was in December, early December around 10:30pm,” Hudson said. “He was messing with something and he happens to look up and notices movement.” He says the creature ran across the highway and disappeared.

“But that sounds crazy!” Delaine told Hudson. “That sounds almost ridiculous, right?” Hudson told her there are too many witnesses, too many reports across the country, too much documentation, too much data that suggests what are these people seeing?

Crazy is a word Troy and Chase say they hear a lot in their line of work, but there are several Bigfoot investigative groups in Texas like TBIG — determined to find Bigfoot. “If people in Vermont are reporting a tree knock and a whoop as well as someone in California, Florida, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas — it only leads you to believe that there’s something out there.”

And to the unbelievers out there who call these guys nuts? They say, just go on an expedition. “Try it. Before you condemn us, go out and try it,” Chase told us. “See what they see and listen to the sounds of the night.”

More sightings at Bigfoot hotspot in Salt Fork State Park

bigfoot

In the woods of Salt Fork State Park, sightings of a bipedal creature with long flowing hair have been reported more than once.

In fact, believers of Bigfoot said that is where the creature dwells.

“For a number of years there’s been reports of Bigfoot or a big hairy creature type of thing,” said Hal Harper, a manager at the park in Guernsey County.

Even the History Channel has spotlighted the park by calling it “a place where eyewitnesses have long told stories of a creature that evokes the fear of a boogeyman.”

The bipedal creature is also known as the Ohio Grassman and alleged sightings date back decades.

Today, so-called “Footers” post their own videos to YouTube and other places online.

Even Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb from NBC’s Today Show went “footing” in the park in search of a Sasquatch or two.

Of the 23,000 acres in the park, most people said they’ve spotted the creature near the Orange Loop and the White Loop.

The last alleged Bigfoot sighting happened on a trail just over a hill about five years ago. A couple said they were having a picnic with their dog when Bigfoot showed up.

Harper said, “It followed them. It didn’t attack. It just kept the same distance and finally they got too nervous and bolted for the car.”

Park officials said they have never found any real physical evidence of the creature, but the speculation has put the park in the national spotlight. In addition, the talk has helped tourism since people want to try to see the creature for themselves.

The Sylvanic Bigfoot Story

Author: CryPtoReporter  |  Category: Crypto News  |  Comments (0)  |  Add Comment

Todd Standing is a columnist for Unexplained-Mysteries and a Bigfoot researcher. He’s made quite a lot of headlines in the Bigfoot community by coming forward with video “proof” of these bipedal, ape-like creatures that he has filmed in recent expeditions. It doesn’t just end there, he also claims to know a secret location called “Sylvanic” (According to Todd, this is the name given by the “native” people) said to be a hidden valley nestled deep into the American Rockies.

Todd and his team have released several teaser videos as proof and claim that they are keeping the location secret in order to protect the newly found creatures. Their website sylvanic.com has very limited information as to who the team is and what it is they actually found.

Their website itself holds no real information. There are a few links for an online store to buy the “video evidence” of the creatures they filmed. Not a surprise.
So what is the real story behind the “Sylvanic Bigfoot” ?

According to Todd’s Youtube account, there is a short video clip of the supposed evidence that was captured recently. The video was uploaded to Youtube on November 27, 2009. I don’t know the date of the video itself.

As far as most of the information from Slyvanic.com, the details of the location or more video proof cannot be divulged due to the team’s effort to help protect these creatures by there claims.

Bigfoot captured in Photo in Kentucky ?

Author: CryPtoReporter  |  Category: Sightings  |  Comments (0)  |  Add Comment

A Kentucky man said his surveillance camera captured something in his back yard last week, but no one is sure what it is.

Kenny Mahoney had the camera in his yard to capture wildlife photos. It fires when it detects motion. When he checked the camera over the weekend, he found the usual collection of rabbits, raccoons … and something else.

“It looked like it had the outline of a head, and, like, gorilla-type shoulders, and then the arms crossed is what it looks like to me,” Mahoneysaid.

Mahoney said he doesn’t think he captured Bigfoot on film. But that doesn’t explain what the camera saw, either. Mahoney said whatever it was smashed down weeds and grass as it passed.

His wife took the photo to a wildlife expert on black bears, who said that whatever it was, it was fur-covered. But she told Mahoney’s wife that she couldn’t say for sure it was a bear, either.

Polish Yeti caught on film

Polish Yeti film Photo

Yeti experts are heading to Poland after a local man filmed a “monstrous, hairy creature” while on holiday in the Tatra mountains.

There have been rumours of a Polish Yeti in the area for centuries but this is the first time one of the strange creatures has been captured on film.

Piotr Kowalski, 27, from Warsaw was on a walking holiday in the Tatra mountains in Poland when he saw a mountain goat on one of the slopes. As he started filming, his attention was suddenly grabbed by the Yeti creature emerging from behind some rocks.

“I saw this huge ape-like form hiding behind the rocks. When I saw it it was like being struck by a thunderbolt,” he told the daily Superexpress.

“Coming from Warsaw, I never really believed the local stories of a wild mountain ape-man roaming the slopes. But, now I do.”

The film has been handed over for examination to the Nautilus Foundation, which deals with unexplained phenomena.

“The film clearly shows ’something’ that moves on two legs and is bigger than a normal man,” says Foundation President Robert Bernatowicz.

“But because the camera shakes so much it is difficult to say what it is exactly. We need to go to the site and see what traces, if any, were left.”

Call goes out for Alberta Sasquatch sightings

Author: CryPtoReporter  |  Category: Crypto News  |  Comments (0)  |  Add Comment

If you’ve seen any hulking hairy beasts or unexplained gigantic footprints lately, a group of sasquatch seekers wants to hear from you.

The Western Canadian Sasquatch Research Organization hopes a newspaper advertising blitz this summer will help sniff out reports from witnesses who have encountered the legendary hairy giant.

“Many reports are not brought forward because many people who have a story to tell do not want to be ridiculed,” said Roman Forczek, a Lacombe welder who specializes in conducting field research for the sasquatch group.

“We do receive a lot of stories that you just have to dismiss. That is unfortunate, because we do treat the research seriously.” The sasquatch group has already collected nearly 700 accounts dating back to the early 1800s of footprints, sasquatch sightings, strange animal vocalizations and suspicious physical damage in the woods.

Its researchers, which include a Calgary chemist and lab owner, have analyzed hair samples, shot photographs and video and travelled to secluded sasquatch hot spots in their quest to prove the legendary creature exists.

The group was founded in 1999 under the name Central Alberta Sasquatch Research. It now has 33 members and covers Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

“We are trying to unravel this mystery,” Forczek said.

“We don’t claim to have any concrete evidence or indisputable evidence.” But Forczek hopes that proof isn’t far off.

Already, about a dozen people have responded this summer to the group’s advertising blitz in community newspapers, mostly in towns along the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Ads have appeared in Jasper, Grande Cache, Rocky Mountain House, Edson and Coleman, and the group is organizing more ads in Alberta and B.C.

Strange bedding That advertising caught the attention of an avid hunter and outdoorsman, who told Forczek on Monday about a shelter and strange bedding he found 20 years ago in a remote cave in the Rocky Mountain foothills.

“This fellow strongly believes this bed that he found inside of the cave was not made by bear or deer or any such creatures,” Forczek said.

“It is in an area that has had numerous sighting reports over the past 30 or 40 years.” Calgary organic chemist Brian Baillie can’t wait to set up a sasquatch search in the area sometime over the next month.

“The best chance of us getting more evidence is someone coming forward and saying, ‘Hey, I saw one,’ or ‘I saw some tracks,’ and us getting out there to see what we can verify.

“We’ve got hidden cameras that we set up in trees and all over the place. We haven’t been lucky enough yet. We’ve got lots of pictures of deer and things like that,” Baillie laughed.

There has even been sasquatch evidence around Edmonton, with reports of giant footprints along the river valley and sightings near Hobbema, Baillie said.

In 1969, numerous unrelated witnesses reported a spate of sightings near Nordegg, including five construction workers who reported seeing an enormous creature at the Big Horn Dam.

The brother of one of those workers recently contacted Baillie as a result of the sasquatch group’s ad campaign. Baillie interviewed the man and went through his brother’s sasquatch scrapbook.

“His brother, to his deathbed, swore that is exactly what he saw.” Field trips Neither Baillie nor Forczek has seen a sasquatch. However, both said they have seen evidence the creatures exist during separate field research trips to verify earlier sasquatch reports.

Forczek said he heard cracking branches, guttural grunting and high-pitched screams outside his tent in the middle of the night during a sasquatch research trip southeast of Big Horn dam in August 2005.

A search the next day failed to turn up any physical evidence.

And Baillie said he saw massive, human-like footprints from a creature with a huge stride in April 2005, when he checked out a forestry road north of Nordegg where a man had reported seeing a sasquatch two weeks earlier.

The research group is serious about weeding out hoaxes, Baillie said. There certainly have been some unbelievable reports and at least one crazy request, he added.

Quite a few years back, one woman wrote to the group “looking for love,” Baillie laughed.

“She was looking for a sasquatch because she wanted to mate. We never got back to her.”

Bigfoot creature photographed in Sierra National Forest

Author: CryPtoReporter  |  Category: Sightings  |  Comments (0)  |  Add Comment

The Bigfoot creature may have been captured on a remote trail camera placed in the Sierra National Forest, based on photography evidence released by Sanger Paranormal Society.

Investigator Jeffrey Gonzalez said Tuesday night that multiple cameras were put in place in this remote area on Memorial Day weekend, and retreived on June 7, 2009.

Gonzalez said they did not immediately see the evidence, but upon closer inspection, noticed what appears to be the Bigfoot creature.

Gonzalez said a group returned to the site to review the exact capture spot after many theories surfaced once the original image was released in early July.

The tree stump theory was ruled out, he said, because the “dark object” is not there. Gonzalez said the bear theory does not stand up either, because the image does not have a snout on the head.

“You can see features of a human face such as the nose, mouth and chin,” Gonzalez reports.

“The arms on a bear, when standing, do not hang that far down. We also took measures on how high this thing was. According to the leaves and the branches that were covering the object’s face, the tape measure said it was between 8 and 9 feet tall. The same camera that took the picture of the object also took pictures of other objects such as black bear and deer, which does not resemble the object in any way.”

Gonzales said that Bigfoot investigator David Raygoza has been visiting this location for six years after an elderly Native American pointed it out to him.

He told David that this spot in the forest was sacred Indian land and that weird things happen here. He said David has had many individual sightings and has collected footprints, but has never captured anything with a camera until now.

Returning to the exact spot where the image was captured, Gonzalez said that the angle of the hill is 45 degrees, which would make it difficult for a bear to stand upright. He also said the the object is clearly brown in color, ruling out the black bear.

The Bigfoot creature has been reported in many different parts of the country during the 20th century, including an “outbreak” during 1973 and 1974, primarily in southwestern, Pennsylvania, and investigated by Stan Gordon. During that period, hundreds of Bigfoot sightings were reported as well as hundreds of UFO reports. No photographic evidence exists from that time, although Gordon collected many foot prints in that region.

On the hunt for Bigfoot

Author: CryPtoReporter  |  Category: Crypto News  |  Comments (0)  |  Add Comment

He spends his days walking, searching for the unknown along the Great River Trail.

Ed Welch put his foot in the door of Crypto Zoology when he retired.   In other words, he’s a researcher, on Bigfoot.

His passion stems from a Bigfoot sighting he had in northern Minnesota.

I saw Bigfoot within a three to four second period of time,” Welch says.  “I remember it was albino or grayish-white in color, because the sun was reflecting off it.  And I remember seeing the muscles rippling in the upper back as I was moving.  I panicked.”

He’s originally from La Crosse, and he says a few reports of Bigfoot sightings in Holmen and La Crosse pushed him to investigate.

Now he walks and walks, hoping to see a creature known to most only as a legend.

“You could be walking, and there could be one right by this tree over here.  You wouldn’t even notice,” Welch says.  “You’re not paying attention.”

Ed says the creature stays well off the trail, so he’ll walk miles into the woods to find it.

Every now and then, Ed breaks stride to do what he calls ‘wood knocking.’

“This creature will do something that’s called tree knocking.  I don’t know if it’s a communication between them or a warning towards us,” Welch says.  “When you’re out there and you hear this, it’s very awesome to hear.”

And even if his feet tire, he keeps walking, because a quest for truth can only be taken one step at a time.

“I thought of it more as a legend or Native American lore.  Other countries document it the same way,” Welch says.  “After actually seeing this creature for myself, I know for sure this isn’t a legend or a myth.  It’s a reality.”

New Bigfoot sighting in Fayette County Pennsylvania

Author: CryPtoReporter  |  Category: Sightings  |  Comments (3)  |  Add Comment

There has been a new bigfoot sighting and report coming out of Fayette County Pennsylvania. The incident occured on July 10th outside of the town of  Uniontown and was reported shortly thereafter. A motorist reported a near collision with a creature which description seems to fit that of bigfoot or sasquatch.

The incident occured on a two lane highway just outside of Uniontown. A lady was driving along on a nice clear day approx 35-40 miles per hour when all of a sudden she noticed a odd figure coming from the left side approaching her car. She suddenly swerved to attempt to miss what she thought was possbily a person walking out into the road, as she was making the turn she noticed that it was not a person but somekind of strange creature. As she stopped and sat there she looked into her rear view mirror and noticed the creature was now behind the car , she said “I looked into the rear view mirror and I saw it leap across my trunk.”! Just seconds later as she remained sitting in the car she saw the creature on her right side running quickly down the middle of another roadway approx 75 feet away. Then the creature disappeared and was not seen again , the whole ecounter lasted several seconds and was enough time for the lady to get a fairly detailed description.

She said she could be certain that the creature was not human or simply someone in a costume. She said the creature was a dark colored , hair covered man-like creature that was approx. 6-7 ft tall that walked upright on two legs and its head she said was large and elongated and all covered with wild looking hair. The creature she said also appeared to have a thin but long neck covered with hair but it looked strange as the head was big and the shoulders of the creature were quite wide. The face was also covered with hair except for a exposed area which appeared to be very white , hair was all over the face like a wolf. The nose on the creature was dark and flat but somewhat hairy and the mouth or ears could not be made out. The woman said the eye’s were the most prominent feature on the face as they were almost twice the size of human eye’s and circular in shape. She said the eye’s were very wild looking and had no iris or whites of the eye.

She said the creature had a very stocky and muscular body build. The shoulders were very wide and rounded and hairy along with the chest. The creatures arms were very long and hung down to the knee area with long ape like hair on them. Members of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society and Loren Coleman went to the location of the sighing and also interviewed witness and her husband. They searched a wooded area near the location the creature was seen but did not locate any interesting objects or prints. But when they examined the car they did come across some unusual scratch marks on the trunk and left side of the vehicle. Its possible these scratches were left by the creature when it jumped across the trunk of the car. The scratch area was about 8.5 inches long and 2 inches wide and the car owners said they had seen the damage there before.

The interview was completed with the couple and members of the (PBS) team said that the witness seemed very sincere and was still noticeable shaken up. There have been many Bigfoot reports and sightings over the years in the Fayette county area of the state.
