"It won't take long, a few years tops, these things are real, and soon everyone is going to know about it." --Cliff Barckman, Finding Bigfoot co-host

Cliff Barackman, co-host of the TV show Finding Bigfoot,  seems to up the ante regarding the timeline for Bigfoot proof. At the risk of reading too much into the video, Barackman seems to talk with a confidence of an insider, as if he has knowledge privy only to a few.

'Bigfoots are real. The evidence shows it'By Chris Wright KVAL News with KVAL.com staff Published: Nov 14, 2012 at 2:12 PM PST Last Updated: Nov 15, 2012 at 6:58 AM PST

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Bigfoot is no stranger to the Pacific Northwest: about a third of reported sasquatch sightings happen in Oregon and Washington.

The legend - or search - has gained new popularity from "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet.

"It won't take long, a few years tops," Portland native and bigfoot hunter Cliff Barackman told a Springfield High School club. "These things are real, and soon everyone is going to know about it."

Barackman admits to a lifelong obsession with sasquatch, an obession he now gets to indulge by traveling the country with three other bigfoot experts in search of 'squatch.

He is used to dealing with skeptics, but during a recent visit to Springfield High School, barackman was preaching to the choir at the Sasquatch Brotherhood, a school club.

"It's like religion," said Austin Helfrich of the Sasquatch Brotherhood. "You try to spread religion. Sasquatch, you try to spread it around, and have other people start to believe in it. And it just spreads like wildfire."

"Finding Bigfoot" has helped fan the flames: 1.3o million people tuned in for the premiere of its third season.

"Certainly more people are becoming believers because of the show," Barackman said. "I don't encourage belief. I encourage weighing the evidence and coming to your own conclusion."

The Sasquatch Brotherhood's members have come to the conclusion that bigfoot is out there, and like many fellow enthusiasts, they feel there's a good chance he calls the Pacific Northwest home.
   
"Lots of forested areas, very wet, mostly lots of animals," Helfrich said. "I think it would be an easy location for sasquatches to live in."

Helfrich and his friends admit they get some odd looks from other students.

But the general public's skepticism doesn't seem to bother them - or Barackman. They are all convinced that sasquatch's days in the shadows are numbered.

"I don't have a PhD. I don't care what other people think of me," Barackman said. "Bigfoots are real. The evidence shows it."

WATCH Scott Nelson: Navy Cryptolinguist and Bigfoot Language Expert

Scott Nelson, former Navy Cryptolinguist has discovered Bigfoot Language

In a segment in Kansas city local news affiliate titled Faces of Kansas City, Scott Nelson is featured for his research on  Bigfoot language. We have been covering Scott Nelson for two years, ever since he was a speaker at the first annual Oregon Sasquatch Symposium. Click the following link to read our entire Scott Nelson coverage.

Below is the KCTV5  news clip that appeared in November of 2012:

The companion article from KCTV Kansas City News.

LEXINGTON, MO (KCTV) -
One man said he now believes Bigfoot or Sasquatch is roaming remote areas of the United States, including an area in Missouri not that far from Kansas City.

What Scott Nelson hears in his headphones is strange, disturbing and unexplainable.

"Yes, I've heard him speak. And you will hear him speak here in a moment," Nelson said when asked if he thinks Bigfoot exists.

Nelson retired from the Navy after a 17-year career as a crypto-linguist, intercepting Russian communications and decoding them. Currently, he is a professor at Wentworth College in Missouri.

"Because of what I did in the Navy, spending years and several thousand hours speeding the human voice up and slowing it down, I could just detect language in those vocalizations," he said.

The vocalizations were captured on audiotape in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains by a group of hunters in the early 70s. Nelson came across them a few years ago while helping his son write a paper on Bigfoot.

"I said, 'Stevie there's language here.' He said, 'Dad, how can that be? It sounds like a bunch of apes fighting to me.' I said, 'We have to slow it down, like dad used to do in the Navy."

When that happened, Nelson said he instantly knew three things about the sounds he was hearing. No. 1, he was hearing a language; No. 2, it was not human; and No. 3, it was not fake.

It was at that point Nelson became a Bigfoot believer and researcher.

"The number of reports have increased; it's becoming more and more accepted for people to come out and say, 'I had this strange experience, it terrified me and I need to talk about it,'" he said.

In fact, Bigfoot has never been bigger. There seems to be new, amateur video of Sasquatch turning up more frequently. The most famous, of course, is the Patterson film made in 1967.

Skeptics say each and every one of the videos is fake. But Nelson said not only is Bigfoot real, he's right in our backyard.

"A big, gigantic, hairy wildman," Nelson said. "Throughout Missouri, the reports go back over 100 years."

Nelson said there have been numerous reports of Bigfoot activity up and down the Missouri River Corridor.

"There are two places in Missouri, one right here, 10 minutes away, called Monkey Mountain. Now, there's a reason pioneers called it Monkey Mountain," he said.

Nelson offered to take KCTV5's Brad Stephens to the nearby location where he said there has been a lot of Bigfoot activity and Stephens has accepted. The result of their trip will be featured in next Wednesday's Faces of Kansas City segment airing in the 10 p.m. news.
