Announcement: Bigfoot Ballyhoo has been under attack, in the past, by a couple of people who wished Ballyhoo and its editors to look as if they were hoaxing information.

One of the biggest examples would be the claim that we made up the ESP Team, Bill Emery, Cole Saxton and the late Hank Parchell. A well-known bigfoot researcher found photos that looked like Emery, Saxton and Parchell. He claimed the three to be the real men and not any part of the ESP Team. (In fact, he claimed there was no ESP Team).

And then while the Emery Team was processing trail cam photos a couple were sent to Ballyhoo. These photos turned out to be well-known bigfoot photos, one from a movie and one of Patty. The technician’s son that was processing the trail cam photos replaced the real photos with fakes. In good faith Emery sent the dallied-with photos to Ballyhoo. When it was found out what happened it was explained.

Another photo of a footprint with a believable history was given Ballyhoo to post. Turned out to be Tim Fasano’s photo from Florida. Again, we’ve given explanations for each occurrence. We were hoaxed.

We in time recognized each hoax and explained what happened

I’m “throned on highest bliss” (Milton) with my high-speed internet connection. It’s great to work and not forget what I was doing before the page loads. The dial-up connection that I had was just s o o o slow. And, I’m enjoying my new Bigfoot/Sasquatch blog, with the ability to quickly make changes, add photos and so on, it’s a real joy. Here is the address if you’d like to check it out: http://bigfootballyhoo.blogspot.com.
Another pleasure, I enjoyed this last week; I exchanged our three children’s Bigfoot books for two years of Daniel Perez’s Bigfoot Times, a Bigfoot newsletter. I’ve read two of them and have already learned so much about the Bigfoot community. The newsletter cost $14. per year, ($15. Canada, $17. rest of the world) and comes by mail, monthly. Perez is a veteran Bigfoot investigator/researcher. If you’re interested at all in the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch, I’d recommend this newsletter. His address is 10926 Milano Avenue, Norwalk, California 90650-1638. (If you are reading this on the blog, the link is below.)
The blog I’ve started is just a casual place to discuss Bigfoot/Sasquatch, to report sightings, and get feedback from others that enjoy the subject. I’m certainly not an expert on the subject of these forest animals. I just happen to write a newspaper column and have written, along with my husband, three Bigfoot children’s books.
One comment in Perez’s newsletter that I thought was interesting; Perez or one of the guest writers thought that all the conferences being held across the states were diluting the serious business of collecting and studying information of Bigfoot/Sasquatch. That may be true; I think of it, however, as proof that this subject appeals to many, many people. And perhaps soon more people will step forward with their sightings and not be concerned with being embarrassed or not taken seriously. Even I, and my husband, have thought that if we did see one of these animals, that we’d probably keep it to ourselves. Chris and I live in the thickly forested state of Oregon and we wonder what will happen to the timber industry, hunting, and recreational use, if this animal is “found.”
