www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2017/01/man-or-beast.htmlMonday, January 16, 2017 Man or Beast? Posted by Lon Strickler / plus.google.com/+LonStricklerAn ex-military man named Alan was interviewed by Steven Strings about an encounter he had in Georgia: βI'm from Atlanta, Georgia and I'm a herpetologist. I travel frequently up into the north Georgia mountains, up into the Helen area in the national forest and, on this day, I was going up there to observe some wildlife that I frequently study. This was last September. It was approximately 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening and as I was going to my usual sites and I had observed that... I was walking about. It was about 5 minutes before I was up to one of the sites and there was no wildlife active. I didn't notice it at first but I did later on and as I was walking. I came up to a ridge and I noticed there was something diagonal from me. It was on the ground and it wasn't moving. I was about 10 to 15 feet away from it. I got up to about that distance and it jumped up and spun around very quickly. I realized, you know, this was something very out of the ordinary, something I hadn't seen before. And it was sitting there and it was staring at me and some minutes had passed and, at this point in time, it was making moans or growls. It was making sounds close to that. That's the best way I can describe it. It was man-like. It was approximately 7 and a half to 8 feet tall and 4 and half feet from shoulder to shoulder. It was very very large. Some might say it was ape-like but in my opinion, due to my studying various wildlife, it was not anything close to being an ape. It was like a man. There was absolutely nothing ape about it. Very very muscular. The hands, the best I can describe the hands are about a size 13 or 14 or maybe even larger, as far as trying to fit a ring on it. Very very muscular. I cannot stress this enough. The eyes were...you could see the whites of the eyes unlike other creatures. They were squinted, aggressive. The forehead was not apelike. It was more homo sapien than ape. It did have full body hair with the exception of the hands and feet. There was hair on the knees and elbows. It had hair like a man. The teeth. I was able to observe the teeth as they were bared most of the time. The teeth were like a man. They did have 3 or 4 canines but they were worn and pretty nasty. The skin on the hands... I stood in front of this creature for a significant amount of time. I didn't know whether to run or just stand there or do whatever you do. Definitely this creature could outrun me. Like I was saying, the hands and the skin, they were tanned. They weren't black. I wouldn't even say dark brown. They were just tanned. It did have fingernails. Human. They didn't have blood on them. I was able to tell that. This was all happening and as I was observing his hands, he's sizing me up. That's the best way I can describe it and at that point in time, he picked up a log. I was able to observe that. He was most likely right-handed. I know this is going to be hard to believe but it's true and it chucked it in my general direction. Notice I said HE. It did have male sexual organs. I was able to observe that. No tail. It walked upright. It had brownish-reddish hair. It was matted. I'm not 100% sure if it was due to the Georgia clay or if that was his actual hair color. I was able to observe it was a mix of between brown and red. After it chucked the log, at this point in time, I started backing up slowly and, you know it didn't charge me or try to beat me or anything like that I was expecting. I was slowly backing up. There was a strong stench, body odor. Somewhat that of a wet dog. But, I'd say, probably a hundred times stronger. I was backing up and this all happened within... I can't even say for sure but it was over 2 minutes that I was standing in front of him. And I slowly started backing up down the ridge and eventually I got out of sight and I made a beeline back to where I came from. It was definitely real, beyond a shadow of a doubt. It was what some might say was a Bigfoot, Sasquatch or whatever. It was not a man. It was not a native creature that's seen everyday. Someone might make their own decision about. That's all I got to say. (Steven asks him what he guessed the weight was) There wasn't much to compare it to but 4 at least. I'd say about 400 pounds. The forehead was sunken back and the shoulders were more forward than a proper... I didn't have a proper posture. It was definitely leaning more forward than straight up. It's rare to see somebody that would be as muscular as that creature. It was exhibiting more cautious, on the verge of aggressive. The eyes. I was able to observe the eyes did have more... I wouldn't say downright fear but there was aggressiveness there. The eyes were squinted. The breathing was rapid and going by the noises the creature was making, it was threatened.β Source: Sasquatch Encounter Interview, Published on 27 Nov 2013 by stevenstrings www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2017/01/man-or-beast.html

Just saw this one. Supposedly caught on a Russian dash cam.
Something definitely runs across the snow on two legs but what is it? I first suspected it to be a person but it was running pretty fast through deep snow drifts. Don't think a human would be capable of that.

It's head and FACE appeared to be human. ? It was a big dude, if that.
The thing about bigfeet, though, is snow or not, he usually has a much bigger "stride".

Bigfoot blamed in Idaho car crashPublished March 26, 2017 Associated Press
MOSCOW, Idaho β A northern Idaho woman told police she crashed into a deer because she was distracted by a sasquatch in her rearview mirror.
The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports that the 50-year-old Tensed woman was driving south on U.S. Highway 95 on Wednesday when she struck a deer near Potlatch.
The woman told Benewah County Sheriffβs officials that she saw a sasquatch chasing a deer on the side of the road while driving. She says she checked one of her mirrors to get a second look at the beast and when she looked up, the deer ran in front of her.
Sheriffβs officials marked the incident as a vehicle versus deer collision but did not report any evidence of Bigfoot.

One local man named Dean Edmund, however, thought the march was silly and rooted in the communityβs version of the βBoogeymanβ: Some of those ghost stories were probably relayed and passed down by them to their kids to get them home and inside before dark. βGet inside before the big hairy man up the road gets you.β They probably told those stories and embedded them into the hearts and minds of their children, and they passed them on and everyone believes all these ghost stories but theyβre probably all myths. Sure, but even those ghost stories told to kids probably had some version of truth in them when they were first passed down. The prevalence of certain creatures or symbols (ape men, serpents, floods, etc.) in so many different culturesβ folklores is likely rooted in the deeply-embedded collective human subconscious. These shared myths and legends are vestiges of our deep ancestral past, passed down in the form of stories and folklore to help us stay wary against formerly formidable foes we once encountered deep in our ancestral past.
This is from the "same phantom page" that Auntym recently posted an article on BEK s (black eyed woman at the window).
On down that sites' page is an article about Australians confronting the mystery of their "yowie". The people did a nighttime walk down a "haunted" road.

I had an 'incident' happen, about 8 years ago, when I was living in Shasta County, CA. I figured you'd be interested in reading it. One evening while I was watching television in my living room, I noticed a bright red flash come through the window nearest me. The flash came from my backyard. I looked outside and was shocked to see what appeared to be a flat circular object hovering, then landing, in the field behind my garage. There were blue and white lights flashing intermittently around the object. There was mist or smoke rising from it. I first thought it might be a large helicopter, but it was silent. After a few seconds, the object instantly vanished in another bright flash. It stunned me, and left me wondering what I had just witnessed. I waited for a few minutes, then went outside with a spotlight to take a look. I am single, so I was alone. There are a few houses on the other side of the field, but the distance to the nearest property is about a quarter mile. I didn't see any other people investigating the lights. There was nothing to indicate that the object had landed in the field, so I decided to wait and look some more the next day. I didn't find any evidence the next morning. I estimated that the object had been about 50 or so feet in diameter. That night something happened that has changed my belief in the unknown. I was sitting in the living room watching television at about 9:30 PM, and once again I was stunned by another bright red flash coming from the backyard. I immediately got up from my chair and looked out the window. There was a full moonlight, so I noticed that in the same location that I saw the object land the night before, there was something moving around. I didn't know what to think or what to do. I wondered if I should call the authorities, but then I'd have to tell them about the flash of light and what I had witnessed the previous night. I just sat there with the lights and television off for several minutes. I then started to hear dogs barking in the distance. Then suddenly I heard something hit the side of the garage, and then a deep groaning sound. I sat there quietly, when I saw a faint shadow move across the window. The window is almost 7 ft from the ground, but the shadow completely blacked out any light. It was moving towards the front of the house. I got up and looked out the dining room window. There was a huge hairy creature illuminated by the light on the utility pole. It must have been 8-9 ft in height and a massive body. This had to be a Bigfoot! As I continued to watch this creature, it walked away from my property, then into the adjacent field. I went upstairs and sat at my bedroom window, just waiting to see if the creature returned. The next morning, I walked around my property looking for tracks. I did find an indentation in the ground that measured 15 inches long and 6 inches across, but I'm not sure if it had been from the creature. I didn't find anything unusual, other than a cinder block laying by the garage. It had to have been brought there. To this day, I have only told a few friends about the incident. I wonder if the Bigfoot had come from a UFO or that it came on it's own. CK NOTE: I contacted CK by email, and received a response two days later. We then talked through Skype, where he described the ordeal. His description of the creature was a bit more detailed...at least 8 ft tall, dark hair covering the entire body, and a large conical head that had a short neck. He didn't get a very good look at the face, but did noticed that it had a protruding jaw and forehead profile.
His description of the incident is unique in one sense, but familiar to other reports where a Bigfoot-like creature could have been associated with the sighting of a UFO...even though there was an approximate 24 hour time difference.
The witness seemed to be very truthful and didn't give me the impression that he was embellishing the sightings.
I sense that this may have been an interdimensional event...but that's just my opinion. It's a rare witness sighting indeed.

Bigfoot comes from outer space. That is how they got into a small grove here outside town. And the story of a ranch owner he himself was the witness who wrote this book and it told how he seen Bigfoot just walk out and down a plank from a ufo. late at night. He was carrying a large pyramid box. When it lit up purple light the witness took off to the road to get into his truck. It was up on a mountain on his property. He had seen the ufo go over his ranch and come down . Maybe some day it will be proven. Thanks for posting this.

Bigfoot in our backyard? Locals on the hunt as they film movie on fabled creature (Florida Panhandle) Nada Hassanein, Democrat staff writer Published 3:00 p.m. ET Aug. 26, 2017
Clad in camouflage-patterned pants, black shirts and weathered hiking boots, Stacy Brown Jr. and Chris Godwin lead the way into a hilly, dark Chattahoochee forest.
Halfway through the hike, thunder begins to roll from afar.
βChris, check the weather radar,β Brown says to his Bigfoot searching partner Chris Godwin. They've been trekking the forests of the Big Bend for years, hoping to spot the legendary creature.
No rain for now. The duo continues.
After walking uphill, Brown decides to stop to try some "calls," which he says are meant to attract the fabled creature.
Everyone turns off their flashlights and crouches down in the dark.
Brown calls out into the dead of night.
A few more moments of silence pass before he tries a loud grunt. It echoes and dissipates β and then a rustle in the darkness shifts everyone's attention.
It was only a possum β half false alarm, half disappointment.
Brown does many of these hikes. The 31-year-old Crawfordville man calls himself a Bigfoot researcher. Thereβs a nationwide community of them: academics, enthusiasts, bloggers.
Brown says he saw one in the Chattahoochee forest six years ago. Ever since then, he says all his doubts about their existence have disappeared.
He sold his boat, his truck and quit his band for a while, devoting his time to research, exploration and leading young enthusiasts on expeditions to places where sightings have been reported.
When Brown was little, heβd watch shows like βIn Search ofβ¦β and βSightingsβ with his father. It all intrigued him: the paranormal, the mysterious β and the tall, heavy and furry. His interest in the latter stayed with him until now.
A mold of a footprint, Stacy Brown Jr. says was found outside of the Bridgesβ property, rests in the familyβs home in Chattahoochee on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2017. (Photo: Joe Rondone/Democrat )
Brown's 2011 sighting was behind Chattahoochee resident Carolyn Bridges' property.
Bridges was featured on the Animal Planet show Finding Bigfoot in 2011. She says sheβs had numerous eerie experiences during her 16 years of living in her home that's dimly lit with deer-antler chandeliers and Gothic-Italian stained glass lamps.
She doesn't claim to have seen one like Brown, but the retired arson investigator says she and her husband Bill have heard growling screams, howls at night and large prints on their glass doors and windows. She shows a video she recorded of her dog trembling after hearing the growl.
βWeβve been ridiculed as crazy,β Bridges said.
She used to jog the trails every morning. Now, Bridges and her husband keep guns at their bedsides.
Theyβve dubbed their two large dogs as their protectors.
βI will not go out this door without my dog,β she says.
Brown saw Bridges on the Finding Bigfoot show and contacted her. Since then, the two say theyβve been go-tos for other locals, enthusiasts and researchers around the state who have shared with them similar experiences.
He was featured in 2014 on the Spike T.V. show "10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty" and won.
He leads expeditions and camp-outs in the Chattahoochee area and around the state, taking enthusiasts through where sightings have been supposedly reported to him.
Brown is filming a movie called βCreaturesβ about localsβ experiences, with Bridgesβ as a focal point.
Geoffrey Thomas, Florida State University biological anthropologist professor, says while there are many animal species around the world that have not been discovered yet, there isnβt evidence of a Bigfoot in North America.
βThere's no scientific, peer-reviewed evidence of any species that could be described as a Bigfoot,β he said.
Usually the species is described as being a 7-foot-tall ape-like creature.
"There are no indigenous primates in North America in fossil record or modern living species,β he said, βwhich goes against the idea of a bipedal 7-foot-tall ape in Florida."
Other academics around the country disagree, like Idaho State Universityβs Jeffrey Meldrum, anatomy and anthropology professor well-known in the community for tracking material on the creature.
Years ago, in a transcription of a National Public Radio interview with Ira Flatow, Meldrum says, βI don't use the word I believe in the existence of Bigfoot. To me, that connotes a conviction in the absence of proof or evidence, at least.
βI simply say that the evidence is there."
In a 2016 FOX 13 story, Meldrum explains the creature is rare but plausible.
βIβm convinced these creatures, while they very likely exist, are extremely rare. They are large animals, top predators, so there just arenβt that many of them out in the environment.β
Brown is persistent.
βI want my name to go down in history,β he said, βas the person who discovered the species β or was a part of the group that did."

Posted by Lon Strickler / plus.google.com/+LonStrickler I recently received the following account: Hello - I was driving home to Canton, Ohio along Rt.30, near Minerva. This was Monday October 2nd and it was around 9:45 PM. I was heading west out of Minerva, about a mile or so. There's a salvage yard and woods on the right, and as I passed it something huge jumped out onto the road about 10 car lengths in front of me. When I say huge, I mean big enough to scare the crap out of me! It was definitely a Bigfoot and had to be 8-9 ft. in height. It was massive. I got a good quick look at it with my headlights, and still shocked how big it was. The hair was glossy-like dark brown. It didn't look at me, and looked straight ahead. It ran into the field on the other side of the road. I believe it crossed the road in two strides. It was moving like it was being chased. I slowly drove after it passed in case something else jumped out in front of me. My brother and I went back the next Thursday during the daylight to see of there was any evidence, like footprints. There was nothing in the dirt on the shoulder of the road, but there was a lot of mud on the roadway. I had heard about the Minerva Bigfoot and the sightings. I wonder if this was the actual Bigfoot or part of a group? A guy I work with said he saw a Bigfoot just last spring. He was about two miles east of East Canton on Rt.30. HH NOTE: I was able to call 'HH' and briefly talk to him. He didn't add much more to the report, but he did emphasize that the Bigfoot was at least 8 ft. tall and massive in the upper body. He said that he was aware of the Minerva sightings over the years, but didn't believe the accounts until he had his encounter. Here's a link from a post in 2015 - The 1978 'Minerva Monster' Flap: www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2015/03/the-1978-minerva-monster-flap.html ...Lon

mysteriousuniverse.org/2017/11/profiling-the-ape-men-of-the-north/ Profiling the Ape-Men of the Northby Nick Redfern / November 8, 2017 Sightings of Bigfoot-style creatures are widespread across Canada. This is hardly surprising, given that pretty much the entire Pacific northwest of the United States is home to the legendary man-beasts, too. Itβs possible that the legends of the savage and infamous Wendigo may have developed out of near-fatal, and even deadly, encounters with violent, murderous Bigfoot. But, thatβs a story for another day. There are, however, several kinds of unknown ape-men in Canada and the northern states of the USA that are far removed from the likes of Sasquatch. One of these is the tongue-tying Geow-ludβmo-sis-eg. Itβs a diminutive, goblin-like creature that is said to be covered in black hair and which prefers to live in caves. It lurks and feeds in deep woods, surrounded by dense marshland. Rather like the fairies of Middle Ages-era Europe, we are told that the Geow-lud-mo-sis-eg enjoy playing pranks on people β pranks that sometimes turn malevolent if the creatures feel they have been slighted or disrespected. Also like the elementals of fairy lore, the Geow-lud-mo-sis-eg allegedly have an obsession with braiding the manes of horses. As does Bigfoot, as undeniably weird as that certainly sounds. Rather notably, this odd tradition also extends all the way to Russia, where the hairy-humanoid known as the Almasty is said to have an obsession with braiding horses. Then there are the Memegwesi, primitive ape-like humans that are a major part of the lore of the Ojibwe, Cree, Innu, Metis, Algonquin, and Menominee people. They are hairy things, around four feet tall at adulthood. And, according to legend, they are said to have had a good relationship with the Native Americans for many centuries. Like a number of unknown ape-men β such as those which are said to roam the wilder parts of Guyana β they have a particular taste for nothing less than tobacco. They are rumored to be significantly developed too. There are tales of the Memegwesi having a language. In addition, they are said to have the ability to construct sturdy canoes, in which they hunt for fish. Of potential (although, admittedly, not at all proven) connection to the stories of the Memegwesi and the Geow-lud-mo-sis-eg is the very strange 1635 story of an Arctic explorer, Captain Luke Foxe. In his journal for that year, Captain Foxe wrote of an extraordinary discovery of a huge number of coffins in the region of Baffin Island, Canada. Foxe recorded the story, after speaking with the locals about the strange find. He stated: βThe news from the land was that this island was a Sepulchre, for that the Savages had laid their dead (I cannot say interred), for it is all stone, as they cannot dig therein, but lay the corpses upon the stones, and well them about with the same, confining them also by laying the sides of old sleddes above, which have been artificially made. The boards are some 9 or 10 ft long, 4 inches thicke [sic]. βIn what manner the tree they have bin [sic] made out of was cloven or sawen [sic], it was so smooth as we could not discerne [sic], the burials had been so old. And, as in other places of these countries, they bury all their utensils, as bowes [sic], arrows [sic], strings, darts, lances, and other implements carved in bone.β Demonstrating a potential connection to the Memegwesi and the Geow-lud-mo-sis-eg, Captain Foxe said: βThe longest corpse was not above 4 foot long, with their heads laid to the West. Their corpses were wrapped in Deare [sic] skinnes [sic]. They seem to be people of small stature.β Legend and folklore?

mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/further-accounts-of-clothed-monsters/ Further Accounts of Clothed Monstersby Nick Redfern / mysteriousuniverse.org/author/nredfern/January 10, 2018 Back in November 2016, I wrote an article here at Mysterious Universe titled βWhen Bigfoot Gets Stylish.β It was focused on what is undeniably one of the weirdest of all the various aspects of the Bigfoot controversy. Namely, reports in which people claim to have seen the creatures wearing clothes, usually tattered and torn. The article began as follows. QUOTE: βWithout doubt, one of the most bizarre aspects of the Bigfoot phenomenon is that relative to nothing less than clothed Bigfoot! Itβs one thing to encounter such a creature. Itβs quite another, however, to see it fashionably attired in pants and shirts β well, kind of. Incredibly, such strange and controversial claims do exist.β I continued in the article: βCryptozoologist Loren Coleman says: βIn the 1960s and 1970s, reports from the American West would occasionally surface of hairy bipedal Bigfoot being seen with tattered plaid shirts and ragged shorts on their bodies. In some research, there were intriguing attempts to relate these to files of paranormal encounters with sightings of upright entities said to be wearing βcheckered shirts.β (Within parapsychology, there is a subfield of study regarding βcheckered shirted ghosts.β) Investigators generally did not know what to make of these Sasquatch wearing plaid shirts, but dutifully catalogued and filed them away, nevertheless.'β END OF QUOTE. It should be noted though that itβs not just Bigfoot creatures that have reportedly been seen in clothes. In the March-April 2011 issue of FATE Magazine (issue no. 64) Chris OβBrien wrote an article titled βSkinwalkers and the Witchery Way.β OβBrien described the experience of a family who had a weird encounter in 1983, while driving on Navajo land in Colorado. The family said they encountered a large, humanoid creature that leapt at their vehicle and which ββ¦had on a white and blue checkered shirt and long pants. Its arms were raised over its head, almost touching the top of the cab. It looked like a hairy man or a hairy animal in manβs clothing, but it didnβt look like an ape or anything like that. Its eyes were yellow and its mouth was open.β As Linda Godfrey noted with regard to this case (in her Monsters Among Us), something which took the story further away from the issue of Bigfoot: βYellow eye shine is normal for canines, but nothing else seemed normal about this being.β Still on the matter of canines: I have many reports in my files of what have become known as βPhantom Black Dogs.β The phenomenon is one which was particularly prevalent in the U.K. in centuries long gone. It should be stressed, though, that such reports still sporadically surface to this day. It was the βPBDβ legends which prompted Arthur Conan Doyle to write The Hound of the Baskervilles (which first appeared in the pages of The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, and which was very soon afterwards published as a full-length novel). Most of the reports I have on file tell of red-eyed dogs vanishing into nothing. Witnesses describe seeing the βanimalsβ (if thatβs what they are) lurking around old graveyards. Sometimes the location is a crossroads. On other occasions, itβs an old bridge. For the purposes of this article, Iβll share with you the precisely one case I have of a clothed Phantom Black Dog. The witness is a woman named Aileen who, at the time, was living in Barnstaple, England. As Aileen told me, she was walking home late one night in the winter of 1997 when she was startled by the sight of a large black dog crossing the otherwise deserted road. Much bigger than a normal dog, its eyes shone bright red. It clearly caught sight of Aileen, who was frozen to the spot (and not just because of the cold weatherβ¦). As if in response to her presence, the beast reared up onto its back legs. A cloak, with what Aileen described as βa monkβs hood,β suddenly appeared out of nowhere, covering the upright hound. The quickly-attired beast walked slowly backwards away from Aileen β still on two legs β and facing her all the time. When it was around fifty or sixty feet away, the Phantom Black Dog suddenly βwasnβt there anymore,β as Aileen worded it. Neil Arnold tells the story of a woman named Corriene. She had a strange experience in the Kent, England village of Blue Bell Hill in 2003. It was the sighting of a sinister-looking figure. Neil said that the woman βstated that from a distance the figure appeared huge in build and covered in hair and she sensed it was not βrealβ but gave off an air of malevolence. The figure marched towards her and she could see it had long hair and a beard, covering most of its face. The hulking figure was taller than six feet and appeared to have a loin cloth around its waist and furred boots.β Perhaps someone should undertake a full-length, in-depth study of cases involving so-called βclothed monsters.β There may be more reports than many of us might assume. mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/further-accounts-of-clothed-monsters/

mentalfloss.com/article/87148/it-legal-shoot-bigfoot George Knapp@g_knapp Please don't shoot Bigfoot. Is It Legal to Shoot Bigfoot?BY Michele Debczak / mentalfloss.com/authors/67216/Michele-DebczakOctober 21, 2016 As long as there have been legends of mysterious ape men roaming the woods, there have been people determined to find them. Traps, cable TV shows, and continent-wide organizations exist for the sole purpose of locating Bigfoot. But for all the time and energy spent tracking the elusive creature, the proper protocol on what to do on the off-chance itβs found remains unclear. Should Bigfoot hunters play dead? Lure it to civilization with beef jerky? Shoot it between the eyes and deliver it to their local taxidermist? Before setting off on your next Bigfoot hunt, you might want to check with your stateβs wildlife department. Itβs true that Sasquatch is legendary, but the cryptid still receives hypothetical legal protection in some parts of the country. The first place to outlaw Bigfoot slaughter explicitly was Skamania County, Washington. In 1969, two years after the release of the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film, the county found itself caught in the heat of peak Bigfoot fever. Believers flooded the Pacific Northwest with plans to track down the stealthy beastβand, as the Board of County Commissioners soon noticed, many visitors brought dangerous hunting weapons with them. Not only did this pose a risk to potential Bigfoots, but it also threatened the residents living in these supposed Sasquatch hotspots. More concerned with the safety of the latter than the former, the commissioners passed an official ordinance [PDF] stating that slaying Bigfoot was a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. By 1984 the Bigfoot craze had settled down and legislators recategorized the intentional murder of Bigfoot as a gross misdemeanor punishable by one year in prison and/or a $1000 fine. The same amendment also named Bigfoot an endangered species in Skamania County and declared all land within their borders to be a βSasquatch Refuge.β Not all places hold such a humanitarian attitude toward the mythical monster. In Texas, for example, it is perfectly legal to hunt and kill Bigfoot. At least thatβs according to L. David Sinclair, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's chief of staff, who responded to an email about the legalities of Bigfoot hunting in 2012. He wrote: βIf the Commission does not specifically list an indigenous, non-game species, then the species is considered non-protected non-game wildlife [...] A non-protected non-game animal may be hunted on private property with landowner consent by any means, at any time.β Because Bigfoot isnβt recognized as an official species by the state of Texas, hunting one is technically allowed (with the proper license and permissions, of course). California takes the opposite approach when dealing with cryptids: The state keeps a record of non-game mammals in the California Code of Regulations. If any animal is missing from that list, as is the case with Bigfoot, that means it canβt be hunted legally. Oregon follows a similar policy to Californiaβs in that any animal not classified under Oregon wildlife laws is considered βprohibited.β Like the rest of the Pacific Northwest, Oregon has a long history of alleged Sasquatch encounters. β[We] receive periodic reports of Bigfoot sightings,β Michelle Dennehy, wildlife communications coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, tells mental_floss. Instead of going after Bigfoot with a gun, Dennehy suggests a legal (and tongue-in-cheek) alternative for trackers planning their next expedition. When it comes to capturing Bigfoot, a super-sized live trap is the way to go. According to Dennehy, βThe cage trap should be large enough to allow Bigfoot to have sufficient space to turn, stand, and lay naturally and of sufficient strength to prevent escape.β An extra-large cage from Havahart, the brand she recommends, is only big enough to contain a bobcat, so Bigfoot hunters will likely need to have a trap custom-made. Because Bigfoot falls under βprohibitedβ status, transporting, selling, or exchanging the animal is against the law in Oregon. The best course of action for any Bigfoot hunters who find success on their mission would be to call the wildlife department and allow state officials to handle it from there. Thereβs one more major factor that makes killing Bigfoot a bad idea no matter where in the country you find yourself: If the hirsute victim is deemed to be more human than ape, the crime could count as manslaughter. Skamania County, Washington addressed this possibility in their Bigfoot ordinance of 1984, saying: βShould the Skamania County Coroner determine any victim/creature to have been humanoid, the Prosecuting Attorney shall pursue the case under existing laws pertaining to homicide.β And if the target turns out to be just a person in a Bigfoot costume (which, letβs face it, is more likely than the alternative) the consequences wouldnβt be any less severe. Just something to keep in mind if you had your heart set on collecting a Sasquatch trophy. mentalfloss.com/article/87148/it-legal-shoot-bigfoot

My local contact, John Bindernagel, an expert on Susquash and author of two books (well written) is in his last phase of being in his body. He has been living with cancer for awhile and is growing weary. He still wants to hear about any encounters (most local). Just letting you know, as I posted about him earlier.

I am sorry about your friend...may his transition be peaceful. Something is wandering around out there...too many people have seen the 'glimpses'....and heard them. The funny thing (funny peculiar) about it..is that they seem to be all over. There is the abominable snowman and yeti and sasquatch in all areas of the world it seems...keeps me wondering if they were the forerunner of humanity in those areas...I'm not sure if I have heard of them in England, Scotland or Ireland though maybe there are places they just died out or never were.

England, Scotland and Ireland are islands. I doubt any bigfeet would have made it there. They seem to have first evolved in Eastern Asia and walked across the Bering land bridge into North America.
As for them being the forerunners of modern humans I am inclined to believe they are a separate species of human that probably evolved alongside modern humans. Very closely related but just different enough to be different.

There used to be a time when mentioning the possibility of a connection was blasphemy...and for many of the 'flesh & blood' Bigfoot researchers, it's still is beyond discussion. Nevertheless, please read the Bosak incident information and decide for yourself. I have offered a few versions of the story and have followed with a few reflections of my own:On December 2, 1974 at 10:30 p.m., dairy farmer William Bosak, aged 68, owner of a dairy farm for 40 years close to the rural city of Frederic, in the north-western part of Polk County, Wisconsin, USA, had attended the meeting of the Fanner co-operative in Frederic and was driving back by car to his rural house of the south-east of Frederic, when, at approximately a mile of his farm, he spotted an object on the left side of the road, in front of him. He was driving slowly because of the packs of fog. The headlights of the car reflected on the object, and he slowed down while approaching. The object was motionless and seemed to have between 8 and 10 feet in height. It was not luminous, but reflected the headlights and had a transparent sector resembling glass in the shape of shell, or bell, or conical with a peak, on the top of the machine, which was lighted and in which Bosak saw an occupant of which the top of the body was visible and who had his arms raised above his head. Although Bosak spoke about a man, the character or the creature who had a head and two arm showed characteristics that were not very human: stiff hair or hairs came out of the sides of its head whose face itself was hairless, and a beardless chin. Its eyes were large and protruding, and its ears were described as pointing on 8 centimeters and resembling those of a young calf. It seemed to be dressed of something tight-fitting covered of brown fur, or to be covered with brown hairs on the higher part of the body including the arms. No collar or features were visible on the possible suit. The bottom of the character was lost from sight in the fog; which dissimulated it and dissimulated the bottom of the craft as well. Bosak was very frightened, but saw that the face of the creature also showed signs of fear. He had slowed down almost to a halt when he had arrived at the object, but overcome with fear, he accelerated to drive away from the object. When he did that, the inside of his car became darker as if the headlights had weakened, and he heard a noise of friction like that of branches of tree sweeping the car. Back home, it tried to look at the sector where the encounter had occurred from the advantageous point of view of his house, but he could not see anything because of the fog. The next morning, he returned to the location in search of any landing traces or evidence of the presence of object, but he found nothing, except that according to one version of the story there was a flattened circular area in the field. Bosak did not tell what he has seen to anybody during almost a month, not even to his wife and son, but finally decided to reveal the incident, apparently by contacting a newspaper which published the story. Two APRO investigators met him and it was said that Bosak was sincere and a man with a good reputation in his community. Understanding of the skepticism of the newspaper and neighbors, Bosak commented on that he would welcome a lie detector test to prove he was not lying. The story then entered the ufological and Fortean literature as example of "bigfoot piloting a flying saucer" while Bosak rather seems to have thought that it was some space creature. - ufologie.patrickgross.org/ ----- APRO indicates that farmer William Bosak, aged 68, of the rural town of Frederic, in the northwest section of Polk County, Wisconsin, had attended a Fanner's Co-op meeting in Frederic and was driving to his rural home southeast of Frederic at 10:30 p.m. on December 2, 1974, when, about one mile from his farm, he spotted an object on the left side of the road ahead of him. He had been driving slowly because of patches of fog and his headlights reflected off the object so he slowed as he approached it. The object was standing still and appeared to be between 8 and 10 feet in height. It was not lighted, but reflected light from the headlights of Mr. Bosak's car. It had a transparent glass-like area bullet-shaped at the top, or tapered to a peak, through which Bosak could view the occupant. APRO quotes Mr. Bosak telling journalists: "It had a curved front of glass and inside I could see a figure with its arms raised above its head." He was later interviewed by Field Investigator Everett E. Lightner, and said that the newspaper account which appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer-Press was basically accurate except that the ears on the "human" he saw inside were placed higher on the head. The "human," as Bosak referred to it, had hair sticking out from the sides of its head with ears protruding out about three inches and they were shaped like a calf's ear. It had no collar or shirt with seam in front but appeared to be clothed in something tannish-brown in color and skin-tight like a diver's suit. Both arms were extended above its head and hair stuck out from the outside of the arms. He had no beard, but there was hair or fur on the upper part of the body. The rest of it, from the waist down, was not visible because of the fog. Its eyes were very large and protruding. Bosak said he was very frightened at the time but the look on the face of the occupant of the craft indicated that it was frightened too. He had slowed nearly to a stop when he came up to the object, but then fear took over and he hits on the accelerator and left the object behind. He said that when he did so, the inside of his car became dark and he heard a swishing sound like branches of a tree brushing against the car. Back home, he attempted to view the area where the incident had occurred from the vantage point of his house, but he could see nothing because of the fog. He later told journalists: "I was so goldarned scared I was afraid to go out at night for a few days." He added that he wished that he had had somebody with him in the car at the time. The next morning, Mr. Bosak returned to the location to search for any landing marks or evidence of the object's presence, but he found nothing. Bosak said nothing to anyone about his encounter for nearly a month, not even telling his wife and sonm but finally decided to divulge the incident. After reflecting on the experience for a few weeks, Bosak said that he felt he did the wrong thing by speeding away from the object and "should have stopped and tried to show it I was friendly. I wish I could meet up with it again." Everett E. Lightner, who investigated the case, said he found Bosak to be sincere and a man with a good reputation in his community. He had operated a 450-acre dairy farm east of Frederic for the past 40 years, and said that prior to his frightening experience, he had been skeptical of UFO stories. He stated: "And I'm sure a lot of people are going to be skeptical after hearing what happened to me. But if people don't believe me, I'll take a lie detector test to prove this isn't just something I made up." - APRO ----- At about 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, 1974, near Frederic in Polk County, William Bosak, a 69-year-old dairy farmer, was driving home when he saw a disc-shaped craft beside the road. "I can remember it just as if it were yesterday," Bosak told me. The lower half of the craft was shrouded in mist. It had a curved glass window, and inside the brightly lit compartment Bosak saw a creature covered with dark tan fur, except for its face and chin. "He was looking out the window, and it was a different kind of character than you'd see on this earth," he said. "It looked a good deal like a man, but it had a different-looking face than you'd see. It had a kind of a cow-looking face." Asked to elaborate, Bosak explained that the face had hair on its sides. The ears stuck out from the head about three inches, and the eyes were large and protruding. The creature held its arms above its head, and its expression led Bosak to believe that it was "just as scared as I was." After about 10 seconds Bosak quickly drove away, and as he did so his car lights dimmed, the engine sounded as if it were missing, and he heard a soft "whooshing" noise. The next day Bosak returned to the area and found a round spot, 6 feet in diameter, pressed down into the hayfield. "There are other people that had seen something like that," said Bosak, "right in this area." This is the best, and one of the least sensational, of the very rare sightings linking Bigfoot-like creatures with UFOs. It is also the least publicized. "You know how the neighbors are," Bosak said. "They questioned it. The editor in town didn't believe it. You know, though, something? If you've ever thought of outer space - it's just fantastic, isn't it? A lot of people can imagine such things." "But this is a fact." - The W-Files True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena in Wisconsin NOTE: There are several versions of the same story available. Even though this is a very unusual case, it has only one witness and lacks corroboration from others. As well, there is no physical evidence. Several researchers and cryptozoologists recognize the case as a bigfoot sighting despite the craft connection. On December 2, 1996, exactly 22 years to the day of his encounter, William Bosak was found dead in his home.Sources: ufologie.patrickgross.org/ Weird Wisconsin: Your Travel Guide to Wisconsin's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets APRO Backyard Bigfoot: The True Story of Stick Signs, UFOs, & the Sasquatch www.ufoevidence.orgwww.ufowisconsin.comThe W-Files True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena in Wisconsin MORE: www.profoundhistory.com/2018/01/the-bosak-encounter.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ProfoundHistoryRepeatingTheSupernatural+%28Profound+History%3A+Repeating+the+Supernatural%29
