Bigfoot and the Native American Connection

Bush Indian is just one of the names the Bigfoot is known by in the Native American cultures, the Cherokee know him by Tsul 'Kalu (pronounced - Jutaculla or Judaculla). Below is the very interesting story of a Cherokee woman marrying a Tsul Kalu (Bigfoot). Note that the location of the town Kanuga is in my research area.

A Cherokee Legend of Tsul Kalu (the slant-eyed or sloping giant)

A long time ago a widow lived with her one daughter at the old town of Känuga on Pigeon river. The girl was of age to marry, and her mother used to talk with her a good deal.
One day, her mother told her she must be sure to take no one but a good hunter for a husband, so that they would have some one to take care of them and would always have plenty of meat in the house.
The girl said such a man was hard to find, but her mother advised her not to be in a hurry, and to wait until the right one came.

Another Residential Visit From Bigfoot

Foot print left at my house in 2011

For those who are not regular followers of my blog I routinely have group of Bigfoot visit my home during the night. They routinely take dog food I have stored in a large rubber tub (with a snap seal lid) on my back deck. This all started about 3 years ago and I have footprints, hand prints, hair, audio, etc etc etc. Over the last two weeks I have had two more visits. I know this because of a large foot print, hand print, and scattered dog food on my deck.

A couple months ago I installed a brick walk way around my deck. I wondered how the Bigfoot would deal with this new obstacle. I found out last week when I found a deep heel print and toe prints. It appears that the Bigfoot stepped on the edge of the brick, reached over the rail, extracted some dog food, then replaced the lid. In doing so it dropped some dog food on the deck and left a nice foot print beside the brick.

The "Ugly Bigfoot" Preview

Sketch of the "Ugly Bigfoot"

In October of 2011 I was making my way down the over grown trail that leads to the feeding station on the Public Land research area. I come upon a small group of White Tail Deer. The deer did not spot me so I stopped and quietly watched them for approximately 10 minutes. 

The Possible "Redchun Bigfoot" Enhancement

Redchun has posted an enhanced version of the possible Bigfoot he captured on video.

Hair Donor Bigfoot - Pictures Posted

I have posted photographs of the probable hair donors from the National Park on the Bigfoot Photographs and Sketches page. These four Bigfoot took turns pushing and shoving each other out of the way in order to peek at the trail camera from between the two trees. This gave me the idea to place packing tape sticky side out around the tree they were leaning against. The tactic worked and I collected a very large hair sample that was sent off the the Ketchum DNA Study. Below is a picture of the hair caught in the tape.

 

Did "Redchun" Capture A Bigfoot On Video??

The "Redchun" Bigfoot

Redchun posted an interesting video which shows a crouching figure right before dark. The figure appears to be moving but it is hard to tell exaclty what it is at that distance. I took some still caputres from the video and ran them through the "Blurity" filter. I also adjusted contrast, tones, and brightness and the results were very interesting.
