NEW VIDEOS: Pennsylvania Man Says Bigfoot Vandalized His Winnebago

Pennsylvania Man Says Bigfoot Vandalized His Winnebago

“It wasn’t a person. I didn’t see any clothes or coat or anything like that,” -- John Reed, Winnebago owwner

On Friday October 19,2012 PennLive.com published an article about a Pennsylvania man who claimed his Winnebago was vandalized by Bigfoot. Embedded directly below is the first video, further down the post is the new video from ABC news.

In the original article (below) the local police, lawyers and the game commission all consider how they would arrest, prosecute Bigfoot and whose jurisdiction Bigfoot is in. Below are partial clips from the original story :

If state police catch the vandal who threw rocks at John Reed’s motor home in Lykens earlier this month, the perpetrator could face criminal mischief charges. 

    

Not big news. But state police troopers better have strong handcuffs if they make the arrest. 

    

“It wasn’t a person. I didn’t see any clothes or coat or anything like that,”

John Reed 39, of Lykens, says a Bigfoot type of creature is responsible for damage to his Winnebago, located on state game lands in Jefferson Twp., upper Dauphin County. Reed is a member of Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters. 10/19/2012 DAN GLEITER, The Patriot-News

 The accused is Bigfoot, according to the complaint that state police issued Friday morning. The cops description lists the suspect as very large, brown in color and walks somewhat hunched over. 

    

According to Reed, who filed the complaint, a Bigfoot type of creature is responsible for smashing the windows and taillights out of his 1973 Dodge Winnebago. 

    

“It wasn’t a person. I didn’t see any clothes or coat or anything like that,” said the 39-year-old Reed, who is a member of Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters. “I don’t think it was a bear, it didn’t move like a bear.” 

    

The incident took place just after midnight along a dirt road off White Oak Road in state game lands in Jackson Twp.

    

State police at Lykens issued a press release later Friday morning saying they were investigating it as a criminal mischief complaint. When contacted, the trooper said the investigation is not being actively pursued, pending further evidence. 

    

Nor, he said, is Bigfoot likely to menace any area residents — this is the first complaint the state police have received. 

    

But should the Sasquatch in question be apprehended, Dauphin County District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. said his office would prosecute the Sasquatch. 

    

“We have been searching for him for years,” Marsico said with a laugh. “We would be glad to prosecute, assuming the elusive thing is captured.” 

Skip a few paragraphs and then we get to the Jurisdiction question:

Even if Bigfoot did exist, it may not fall under the commission’s jurisdiction anyway, he said.     “I think the question is whether or not the Game Commission would have jurisdiction on a hominid mammal,” he said, adding there is always a debate over jurisdiction when reports are received of whales or dolphins swimming up the Delaware River in Philadelphia. Even though they are mammals, as ocean dwellers they may fall under the auspices of the Fish and Boat Commission.     “Being a hominid mammal, this may be something under the Department of Health ... or it is a matter for the state police” Feaser said. 

ABC News picked it up with this to report with accompanying video:

A Pennsylvania man has his eye on a large, furry and elusive suspect who he accused of vandalizing his 1973 Dodge Winnebago.
John Reed, a self-described Bigfoot tracker since the age of 10, said he was camping with his girlfriend when he saw the creature walk past his motor home window.  Reed said the Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, reportedly threw rocks at his mobile home’s outside light to escape discovery.

Reed, who is the founder of the Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters, and his girlfriend, jumped into their truck and gave chase, making special ‘Bigfoot calls’ to locate the creature.

“As soon as I did it, something stood up on her side of the truck,” he said.  ”She seen the eyes glaring in the light of the truck, stood up and walked this way into the woods.”

This alleged sighting is the third time Reed said he has come into contact with the creature.

“Do I believe in Bigfoot? Yes I do,” he said. “Have I had sightings of what I believe to be Big Foot? Yes.”
While police believe the damage may have been caused by vandals, for Reed it was a warning from Sasquatch to get off his territory.

Sequel Confirmed for Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes

Sequel Already confirmed

Website ShockTillYouDrop.Com recently sat down with Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes Director Corey Grant. We pulled out the best quotes. Click the following link for our previous coverage of Bigfoot : The Lost Coast Tapes. 

Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes picks up after a "Bigfoot Hunter" claims to possess the body of a dead Sasquatch.  A disgraced investigative journalist stakes his comeback - and the lives of his documentary film crew - on proving the find to be a hoax.

Shock Till You Drop:  Let's talk Bigfoot.  Growing up, where did you fascination with this creature begin?

Corey Grant:  Six Million Dollar Man.  [laughs]  Very serious.  That was the first time I ever knew about Bigfoot.

Shock:  Nice!  Okay, so where did The Lost Coast Tapes come from for you...beyond your passion for the Six Million Dollar Man?

Grant:  Well, I'm a big fan of Bigfoot.  Anything supernatural, I would watch and research.  Then, two friends Bryan O'Cain and Brian Kelsey, who wrote the script, Kelsey grew up where a lot of Bigfoot sightings occurred.  His family owns this cabin deep in the woods and he said, as a little kid, he would remember Bigfoot footprints he would take pictures of.  So, he came up with a treatment for the script.  And we thought about doing a good story that stayed true to the actual story and that it would be a no-brainer.  It just snowballed into getting the movie made.

Shock:  Did you determine early on that it would be a found footage film?

Grant:  I'm more of a traditional filmmaker and the only found footage films I had seen were The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield.  I wasn't so much a fan of found footage until last year.  We went back and forth with the script on this - going between traditional narrative and found footage, but we wound up making it a part of the script.  We then did traditional and found footage, but wound up cutting out all of the traditional stuff because it just didn't work.  With the found footage, it had to be very well choreographed.  It looks random, but the shots we had were very well crafted to get the compositions that I wanted.

And finally the answer we were hoping for.

Shock:  Are you considering a sequel?
Grant:  It was set up that way, but it's definitely going to happen.  The thing is whether we do something traditional or more found footage.  The thing is, I didn't know there were that many found footage films coming out now and that there was a stigma coming with it.  Now I have to fight around it and that's a bummer.  It's going to happen, we're just not sure what style it will be yet.
