Sky Valley Chronicle 7 Point Proof Against Bigfoot


We have heard these reasons against Bigfoot Before. Why haven't we found one yet? Where are the remains?

In this case the Sky Valley does more of the same. We could argue counter points for each of thiers, but we will only take on
POINT#6:You cant find a credible scientist anywhere that believes in all this crapola about Bigfoot. That oughta be a big clue right there.


I think there are several credible scientist that consider Bigfoot a possibility DR. Jane Goodall, Dr Jeff Meldrum to mention a few.

Below are all seven points:
1 Despite all the bazillion hunters in this country – both Native Americans and those scheming scoundraly Anglo invaders from England who spoke with forked tongues and brought all the smallpox - going back to before America was even called America, there is not one documented case of a hunter bagging a Bigfoot. Not one. Over hundreds of years. There’s bookoo bear been whacked, lottsa elk, tons of deer, wild turkeys, ducks and whatnot but not one Sasquatch bagged. Zippo. There's not even a documented case of a hunter even getting a clear look at one through the scope on his Remington 30.06.

2 There’s not one documented case of Bigfoot DNA being found that made the biologists go “Eureka! We have evidence of an ape man!”

3 No body, no bones, no fur, no DNA NOTHING to authenticate the existence of the wild ape man. Not even one clear photograph after hundreds of years. You have any idea of how many clear photos of deer and elk have been taken in the wilds over the past two hundred years? Well, a lot. That’s how many.

4 A lot of folks who believe in Bigfoot quote the famous 1924 tale told by Fred Beck who claimed he and four other miners were “attacked” one night in July by some “ape men” who threw rocks at their cabin in an area that later became known as Ape Canyon, Washington.

Well, get this. Beck later (some 43 years later in 1967) writes a book about the incident in which he said the ape men who attacked their cabin were alleged "mystical beings from another dimension."

Ooooookay. Beck also claimed he had experienced psychic premonitions and visions his entire life and that the “ape men” were only one of many such weird experiences. Wow. Wouldn't you like to hear about the rest of those experiences? Later on a cave expert claimed the whole story arose from an incident in which hikers from a nearby camp had thrown rocks into the canyon.

5 The famous (and cheesy) 1967 Roger Patterson home movie of a purported Bigfoot in Bluff Creek, California is about as believable as the next clown who says elect me and I’ll make government smaller. This piece of trash film is one of the so-called best pieces of evidence for Bigfoot’s existence, according to the Bigfoot believers.

Which is too bad because not many years ago Bob Heironimus, an acquaintance of Patterson's, came forward and admitted it was he in that ape costume on the film. Ooops. There goes that great proof.

6 You cant find a credible scientist anywhere that believes in all this crapola about Bigfoot. That oughta be a big clue right there.

7 If there was a Bigfoot, we'd know about it because God talks to us (just like he talks to them TV preachers) and we talk to you. So there.

A Good Week for Bigfoot Researcher Cliff Barackman



At the risk of seemingly having a man-crush on Cliff Barackman (we've had 3 posts about him in the last week alone), the truth is, we go where the news goes, and not only has Cliff been on fire, he's gone international!

The German Bigfoot blog, Sasquat.com has interviewed Cliff with some great insightful questions. The post is half German, half english. We have translated the opening paragraph for you below:

The search for Bigfoot is a lot more than just a hobby. The "Squatching" or "Bigfooting" as it is called by the performers themselves, has blossomed into a kind of lifestyle for some. You go out every free minute in the wilderness and spend most of their income on fuel and equipment for voyages to remote regions. One such man is Cliff Barackman. The man from Portland, Oregon, has been interested in the school for the Bigfoot phenomenon. Today he is a member of his Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, and probably one of the most persistent field researchers, there is. Alike, the man who works as a teacher and jazz guitarist, as one of the helpful "Bigfoot." I met Cliff at Oregon Sasquatch Symposium in June, but had unfortunately no opportunity to interview him because he broke during the Symposium on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, because there were fresh tracks were found. I asked him why, to answer my e-mail a few questions. Questions such as why he is looking for Bigfoot, whether it would be ethical to kill such a creature on the value of focus photos and videos and how he feels about the ominous Kentucky project.


We love the end of the interview, which feels like a quickfire question and answer sessions.

The internal congruence of the available data.
The Patterson / Gimlin film.

Uninterrupted green belts near your home.

Three best items for field research?
Thermal imager.
Audio recorders.
Nature observation skills.

Three best experiences in the field?
Bigfooting with Bob Gimlin.
Adventures with Bobo (every trip with him can be described as "the best").
Doing field work on Prince of Wales Iceland.

Bigfoot, Bonobos, and Vanessa Woods


We've mentioned Vanessa Before, back in 2009. She is a writer, researcher and journalist. She works at Duke University in North Carolina and Lola ya Bonobo in Congo and is the author of Bonobo Handshake (Gotham 2010), a memoir of her research with bonobos in Congo.

Vanessa has won the Acclaimed Book award from the Royal Society, UK, and the Australasian Science award for journalism. Her books have been sold in the US, Canada, Australia, Korea, Israel and the UK.

Recently she has reprinted a letter written to her from Mike Phillips, plus she includes a nod to Cliff Barackman's blog.

her post begins:
Bonobos are becoming quite the rage in the bigfoot circles. In 2008, I had one of my bonobo photos stolen from my blog and entered into a bigfoot photo competition (they took it down so i can't show you the link), then I have a totally cute fan club of one on the North American Bigfoot blog).
So officially, I don't think you can say for sure that there is 100% no bigfoot. I'm willing to entertain the thought that bigfoot might be out there. I'm not sure it's very likely, but i'm not crossing it out.

And here is a very interesting letter I got from a Bigfoot researcher, Mike Phillips....


the Post continues to share the email from Mike here
