The Best Evidence: Patterson-Gimlin Footage
In one month, it will have been 40 years since Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin had their incredible encounter with an apparently female Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California, on October 20, 1967. The resulting footage is the best piece of evidence we have for a population of unknown, bipedal primates – most often known as Sasquatch or Bigfoot – that lives, allegedly, in the wilderness areas of North America. Why do I think the encounter’s resulting footage is authentic? I feel it brings forth many forms of evidence: 1. The event occurred in an area known for Native traditions of [...]
Cryptozoology’s Subdivisions
Yep, that’s me. Getting carried away with my passion for all things cryptozoological. I noticed today on the web that one of those “ask” sites had this question: “What are the different fields in Cryptozoology?” This was their “Best Answer – Chosen By Voters” – to wit – “Cryptozoology is a branch of zoology; I have never heard of it being divided into ‘fields.’” Darn. Yikes, they picked the wrong answer by internet consensus? Okay, I couldn’t let that remain unanswered more completely, so here’s my Cryptomundo-refined answer to the question of cryptozoological subfields. +++ Cryptozoology, a sixty-year-old new subdiscipline [...]
John Green’s Health
Daniel Perez’s September 2007 issue of The Bigfoot Times has been published and he has forwarded a copy to me. It contains an extensive interview with Tony Healy about his Yowie research and his new book, The Yowie: In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot by Tony Healy and Paul Cropper, as well as other news items. John Green (right) interviews Albert Ostman about Ostman’s 1924 Sasquatch abduction incident in British Columbia. Also, of much importance for Bigfooters, is this little note Daniel Perez is running. The senior statesman of Sasquatch studies has cancer, according to Perez. John Green The author of [...]
Bigfoot’s Steatopygia
Everyone talks about Bigfoot breasts, but aren’t we ignoring another rather significance part of the filmed Bigfoot body? In a forthcoming Fall 2007 issue of TAPS Paramagazine I examine in detail the never or little discussed theory that the female “Patterson Bigfoot” shows steatopygia, which by definition is the extreme accumulation of fat on the buttocks. In anticipation of the publication of my thoughts on that matter, here are some visuals to examine during the month leading up to the 40th anniversary of the filming of Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California, which occurred on October 20, 1967. They are archival [...]
New P-G Film 40th Anniversary Celebration
Tom Yamarone is announcing a “The Patterson-Gimlin Film 40th Anniversary Celebration” will be occurring at the VFW Hall, Willow Creek, California Saturday, October 20, 2007, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (lunch provided from 12:00 noon to 1:20 pm). The attendees are gathering in Willow Creek on Saturday, October 20th to celebrate the famous bigfoot film from Bluff Creek. 40 years ago, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin emerged from the wooded hillsides north of Willow Creek to announce they had captured bigfoot on film. That film had a profound effect on the world, the people researching this phenomenon and is considered [...]
Crawfordsville Bigfoot
The Crawfordsville Review tells a long and wonderful story of one Mr. Hardee, living in that vicinity, who, while out coon-hunting, “was confronted by an appearance” which, he assured the editor, baffles description. By the light of his shell-bark torch, it appeared like a gigantic ape, sitting in the path in front of him. What it was, he had no idea, and the party being yet some distance in the rear, he hesitated about approaching it. His dog, meanwhile, crouched down at his feet, and refused to stir. Thinking it better to advance than retreat, Mr. H. waved his torch [...]
Taku-He and Cows in South Dakota
On this date, September 7th, in 1974, a calf was found mutilated in Pierce County, Nebraska. The blood had been drained from the animal and the sexual organs removed. The day before, on September 6, 1974, near Jefferson, South Dakota, Jim Douglas saw a very tall, sandy Bigfoot dragging a red furry object through an alfalfa field. The Bigfoot stood and watched Douglas. Three years later, during mid-September 1977, near Little Eagle, South Dakota, Chris Howiatow and others said a “big ape” watched them from a hillside as they checked cattle. The Bigfoot then ran into the brush as the [...]
The Ultimate Bigfoot Drive-In Movie
One of the rarest first fiction films about the hairy creatures of the forests to locate today is Bigfoot (1970), directed by Robert E. Slatzer. It is a modest movie made for the drive-ins involving, in the jargon of the time, “babes and bikers.” Director Slatzer’s claim to fame, other than this movie, appears to have been that he was a former husband of Marilyn Monroe, and the director of Hellcats (1967), another biker movie. Starring in Bigfoot are John Carradine (“Jasper B. Hawks”), John Mitchum (“Elmer Briggs”), Joi Lansing (“Joi Landis”), and Christopher Mitchum (“Rick”). Of some interest to [...]
Symposium Cancelled
Word is reaching Cryptomundo that the October 20-21, 2007, National Bigfoot Symposium planned for Arcata, California, has been cancelled. The website that was sponsoring this event is announcing it has been cancelled, after various attempts to keep it alive have failed. We apologize for any confusion and any false associations anyone may have assumed from our attempts to pass along this breaking news. We are not linked to the symposium nor do we know anything about the actual decision-making that took place. We have no idea what’s happened with the symposium and are only posting here the essence of what [...]
