In my California days, when I began looking into the reports of people having intimate encounters with hairy bipedal beasts, I use to file them away as "Bigfoot contactees." Nowadays, these kinds of accounts are becoming more frequent, or at least, more frequently discussed.
Can we open-mindedly talk about cases like these, and come away feeling different about the reports given by Thom Powell in his book, The Locals: A Contemporary Investigation of the Bigfoot/Sasquatch Phenomenon, and those shared by Janice Carter Coy and Mary Alayne Green in their infamous tome? In other words, can we accept some of what Powell writes and reject most of what Carter Coy and Green tell us is their reality?
Furthermore, did you know that Carter has authorized a photographic view of the encounter with her Bigfoot. Well, almost photographic. The Carter-Coy-Green case has been discussed here before, of course, but now you can visually see what Carter claims she saw.
Here is Igor Bourtsev’s re-creation meeting between Janice Carter and the alleged Tennessee Bigfoot named "Fox," in March 2004, when she allegedly pulled out hair from the creature’s hand when giving him some garlic.
This montage made by Lidia uses Bourtsev’s photograph of Carter with him as a stand-in for the Bigfoot. He reports to me that she was standing in the same dress and position as in March 2004. After Bourtsev’s first attempt at drawing the Bigfoot, Janice Carter corrected it several times with some details, until Lidia achieved and matched the similarity to the scene Carter recalled. This montage photo/drawing is contributed by Dr. Igor Bourtsev to Cryptomundo. You may click on it to see a larger version.
But how about an on-site critical analysis of the case?
My brother, Jerry D. Coleman, who has been an active investigator of the unexplained, including cryptozoological matters, for many decades, lives in Tennessee. He has undertaken an in-depth examination of the Janice Carter and Mary Green reports of generations of interactions with Bigfoot.
Jerry decided to tackle this by doing background research and traveling to the site. He began his overview of the subject by noting, in part:
The authors of 50 Years with Bigfoot, Mary Green and Janice Carter Coy will tell you Bigfoot has existed on this farm for 50 years and still does! The allegedly true story encompasses practically everything ever testified to or theorized about Bigfoot: What they eat, how they kill, how they have sex, Bigfoot births, Bigfoot burial, Bigfoot at play, Bigfoot raping a human female, Bigfoot masturbating, Bigfoot speech, and of course a complete head to toe description of Bigfoot. However what is absent from this comprehensive view of the Bigfoot clan is solid, public documentation and consistency in the story. Most questionable of all is after 50 years of Bigfoot’s close encounters Coy, neighbors or invited (or uninvited) investigators have yet to obtain one single clear photograph of this infestation.
Jerry’s field notes are raw, insightful, and topnotch. Cryptomundo readers will enjoy them. The links to his reports can be found here:
