Sasquatch Video: Does Anyone Know the Origin of This?

I've seen this video pop up a few times, and since it is in our "hood," I've become more interested in it and was wondering if anyone knows who shot it? I'd love to get in touch with the person and discuss it further.

Please let me know! I can be contacted at stbigfoot@gmail.com

Sasquatch: Convict Lake Bigfoot Sightings?

Convict Lake, California

I have noticed a couple searches on the web regarding "Convict Lake Bigfoot Sightings."

This makes me think that maybe someone has had a sighting there, and is researching what they have seen, or they've heard about someone having a sighting there.

I have been to Convict several times. The picture above is one that I took while fishing on a boat at Convict with my kids back in 2007. I've heard several reports from that area, but not at Convict itself. Convict Lake has a rather popular resort with cabins, a campground, restaurant and store, about 3 miles off highway 395. Just east of Yosemite National Park. I'd think that squatches would avoid that area in the day. At night when the guests are sleeping, I think they may venture into the area to raid numerous trash receptacles. Also there was a small heard of deer, I'd estimate at about 20, just out my cabin door one night. I also saw a lone buck on the shoreline in the daytime while we were trolling for trout from the boat, that same day I took the aforesaid picture. Long story short: It is prime sasquatch habitat.

If you'd like to discuss a sighting, I'd be glad to listen. Please contact me at stbigfoot@gmail.com.

Bigfoot: More On Squatching Safety From A Reader

Someone posted some good advice under the comments on Sasquatch"ing" Tips: Safety First

Anonymous said...

"Regarding the topic of Sasquatch field research safety I have a few thoughts to add.

I base the following on a wealth of personal experience in the deep wilderness, much of it rifle and bow hunting in pursuit of elusive big game. I have spent entire seasons off the grid and apart from civilization for seasons on end. BTW I make no apologies for hunting, it is an honorable pursuit and I have never taken any trophy animals that were not eaten either by my family or donated to a food bank. For the record too; I am of Algonquin descent.

The preceding post on safety afield is all good advice—but I would add the following in regards to dangers often underestimated or even made light of.

Bear safety; This subject is misrepresented by many outdoor “experts”. I frequently see comparisons made between the chances, (probabilities), of being killed by a bear and say; being killed by a bee or lightning strike. In making such statistical arguments (comparisons) the “experts” are comparing “apple and oranges” instead of making factual statistical comparisons. Every human in the U.S. is exposed to common dangers such as lightning strikes, dog attacks, motor vehicle accidents and bee stings etc. Only a tiny sampling of US residents avail themselves of the possibilities of a bear attack. The two sample groups cannot be equitably compared in the same statistical grouping since they are not evenly populating the sample studies. When accurately compared the probability of being attacked, injured, fatally injured changes dramatically. This is one of the common misunderstandings that lulls people into a set of careless behaviors in the woods.
Another common misrepresentation is the arrogant “Timothy Treadwell” attitude fostered by nationally televised “nature” specials” so popular with today’s armchair naturalist.

Timothy Treadwell (not his real name) held himself out as a protector of Katmai’s coastal brown bears, supposedly protecting the bears from “poachers”. What poacher ? Since the mid 1950’s the Katmai National Park has never had a single incident of poaching. Treadwell was but a fraud; guilty of negligent homicide, in the case of his girlfriend Amie. Treadwell and Amie were both killed and devoured by a large brown bear he had named “Satan”. But all that’s another story.
The point is bears are totally unpredictable. Their also cunning, highly intelligent, thoughtful, vicious predators capable of running in excess of 35 miles per hour.

Surprisingly more people are severely injured , killed and eaten by black bears than brown or grizzly bears. There are reasons for this and the field expedition member should understand the entire topic of bear attack before going into the woods, (especially overnight)

While the scope of this post is well beyond the brevity of what I can write here: there are ways to minimize risks inherent to sharing the woods with these magnificent creatures; such as: Each field researcher should always carry a large can of bear spray such as UDAP’s 13.4 oz. product. Practice cans with inert product are available as practice is paramount to using it effectively in an emergency. There are many other easy, cost effective precautionary measures regarding bear safety. There is a wealth of information available to anyone so interested, and good, factual information is the best defense available.

All field researchers should read Steve Herrero’s well researched book; Bear Attacks: their Causes and Avoidance. The book is still considered to be the best available text regarding the subject."

I do carry a can of Bear Spray. It is a great piece of advice that I forgot to mention.

Thanks for the comment.

Bigfoot Encounter: Arkansas

The following was entered into the comments of a previous post I made here: Trailcam Photo From Arkansas. I believe that this photo was investigated on one of the episodes of MonsterQuest, and they concluded that it was a bird.

The following is cut and pasted from Comments. I don't want to alter what the witness had posted.

"i live near mulberry arkansas and a couple of years back me and my sister were at the house and we heard banging all around the house so me being curious or stupid one of the two went to the window and watched it for a while we seen something running like a man but covered in hair a brown and black colored hair we seen it run by different windows about three or four times then everything got quiet and within five minutes had something hit the front door hard enough to knock every picture off the north wall of our house ,then we started hearing banging sounds towards the south of our house they got farther and farther away until we couldnt hear them anymore , needless to say i hid behind the couch with a 20 gauge pointing at the front door waiting for watever it was to hit the door again , i told a few neighbors about it and theyve told me similiar stories just wanted to know if anyone else had any similiar stories and any possible explanations"

If any witnesses would like to discuss sightings, or strange encounters, I'd me very happy to listen, and offer any thoughts. I know that sometimes, you may feel traumatized or bewildered by what you have experienced. I hold strict policy to keep all in strict confidence. I only publish witness accounts with approval from the witness. This encounter was copy and pasted from Comments, so it has already been posted to the public by the witness.
