Bigfoot Research - May/June 2013 Update

Research update from the National Park Location

The Human Side Of Bigfoot - Comparing the Hairless "Patty" to East TN Bigfoot

There have been some very intriguing forensic sketches made of "Patty" the Bigfoot from the Patterson/Gimlin film. Harvey Pratt and Reuben Steindorf used two different methods to render images of what Patty would look like without hair. Both images are consistent with the DNA results that the Bigfoot is part human.

Bigfoot Research - Black Bear Encouter - Misc. Odd Stuff

I spent two days in the National Park over the weekend. On Saturday after investigating the "stone ruins" I encountered a black bear. It was a young male around 150-200 lbs. It was an odd encounter because no matter how hard I tried I could not scare him off. This was the first time I have encountered a bear in the wild and it did not immediately run off when it recognized what I was. This time I yelled, waved my arms, and beat on the side of a tree. Instead of running off the bear just sat down about fifty yards away and just looked at me. At this point I readied the Bear Mace that I carried. After a couple minutes the bear went back to digging around in the ground and I took this opportunity to slowly back out. I did not trust this bear.

More Ancient Ruins in Bigfoot Research Area

Possible Burial Site

I returned to the area where I documented the rock columns and began to survey the area. It appears there was a large complex in this area. I found rock walls, a possible ruin of a large structure, stone entrance, boulders with tool or machine marks, rock columns, and possible burial sites.

I found on interesting rock that appears to have been shaped. Note the "+" etched into the side. Is this a tool mark?

The Passing Of A Legend - Bobbie Short

I come to you with a heavy heart. The Bigfoot world has lost a true legend Bobbie Short. Bobbie passed away last week (05/16/2013) from a food born infection. Bobbie will be greatly missed. She was a pioneer in Bigfoot research. Her website Bigfoot Encounters was and is still ahead of its time. This site is the standard by which all others are judged.

I was fortunate to call Bobbie a friend and I will miss her. She was always encouraging and a wealth of knowledge. I always enjoyed our conversations and sometimes our lively debates. She was a good soul and a beautiful person. 

Below is announcement of her passing from her grandson Chris Millet :

Bigfoot Behind Me AGAIN - Video

Here is the video of the Bigfoot watching me from behind. Even though this is a HD camera the Bigfoot blends into the environment and is difficult to see. I hope one day I will catch one making a mistake and it will step out in the open. The do make mistakes but it is the rare exception. That is why it is so important to have a video camera running at all times. The "mistake" may only last a few seconds and those few seconds could change your life.

Bigfoot Behind Me - AGAIN!

The "Back Trail" camera continues to pay dividends. I am working on volume 2 of the Bigfoot Field Journal and beginning to review hundreds of hours of video for the first time. In February of 2011 I was at the Public Land Research Area when I noticed this black figure on the back trail footage. The camera I was using is a High Definition Camera. It takes video at 720p. I had paused along the trail for approximately five minutes. This gave the subject time to move forward and peek around the tree. Though not clear the facial features are easily recognizable and the flesh tone color of the face is apparent in some frames. 

Some may say this is a person following you and I can not rule that out. The question I would have is why would a person follow through such heavy foliage and how did he keep from making any noise?

I urge any researcher out there please, please use a "Back Trail Camera". There is more going on behind you than you think!
