Retired from OSP and Now Has His/Her Say on Bigfoot

Guest Blogger: Retired and Tired says:


As a 3o year trooper for OSP, (Oregon State Police) I've seen many of the tracks you talk about on this website. The ones where I was certain no one could have placed them there. I was required to photograph and cast them.


Over the years I've done over 55 tracks that were over 17 inches and made by something of unusual weight.


I always turned the photos and cast over to the proper agency. Where they went from there is a mystery.


One time while checking on a report of vandalism on Barklow Mountain near China Creek in Coos County, Oregon, I found a track that was 22 inches long. It was past a slide where no one could have left it. After taking the photo and cast, I was asked by the forest service to take it to a track expert in Washington State. He estimated the creature that made the print was over 1,000 pounds and 10 feet tall or taller.


"Jesus, I'm glad I never found the dude who made it."


Now that I'm retired I can talk about it.

Sedan Creek, Bigfoot Footprint Photo

Footprint 20 inches

Guest Editor-Blogger

I can't give you my name, sorry. I need my job. This photo was taken by a field employee on Sedan Creek Road, three days after a couple reported to police an unknown animal sighting.

Photo is unknown origin.

I work for BLM and have been asked by a friend to show it to you.

You might know who we are talking about. If you use it on your website, please keep my e-mail out. Thank you.

"I can swear to you Bigfoot exists!"

Guest Editor-Blogger,

I work for Department of Interior, USFS and can swear to you, we all know Sasquatch or Bigfoot is real.

Way too many tracks and sightings to be faked.

Thank you Anonymous. We know it, but are very glad to have it confirmed. Would love to hear more from you. Tell us about sightings that you've heard of etc.

Why Would Anyone Spend Money on Searching for Bigfoot?

Leslie says,

Why would anybody spend their money on looking for bigfoot? I've read your blog and noticed Saxton and others saying they spend their own money on it. What possesses a person to do this?

I have an answer: The need to find out what all of these people are seeing.

I must say that I don't think bigfoot is real but I am open minded.

If it does then what else does?!

Great question and an intuitive answer. Thank you. I. Linda Newton-Perry, believe more people would know this animal exists if the police would take the sighting reports just a little more seriously.

What do you readers think?

Let's Talk Bigfoot

Linda Newton-Perry started writing a Bigfoot column for her local paper, North County News in Dec. 2007. At this time she and her husband had finished their Viking Age novel, Forced Blood The Norseman and Linda wished to keep her hand in the interests of the local paper. At the end of the column she was allowed to talk briefly about their novel and how to buy a copy. Soon the column, "A Matter of Time" was in two more local papers, The Roseburg Beacon and The Coquille Sentinel. New owners of The Roseburg Beacon and The Coquille Sentinel have decided not to run the column. From time to time, however, The Coquille Sentinel will run a column.

Linda decided not to run her picture with the column but to run the drawing of Bigfoot. In past columns for the paper, she always ran her picture.

Short Interview with Linda

Blog: When did you first become aware of Bigfoot?

Linda: I guess it was when we first moved to Oregon in 1969. It was shortly after the Patterson film. I'd never heard of Bigfoot until then.

Blog: Have you ever seen a Bigfoot?

Linda: No, but I would really like to.

Blog: Would you tell anyone?

Linda: I'd probably tell the readers of this blog.

Blog: Why did you start writing about Bigfoot, your column that is.

Linda: I believed in 07 that at any time the animal would be "discovered." And so I felt safe in writing a column. I had been doing a lot of research on the web and believed in the animal because of it.

Blog: Why do you find the animal so interesting?

Linda: I've asked myself that often. It isn't the animal that I find interesting, it's people's reaction to the beast that I find interesting. Most people have not researched the animal and are simply not that interested in it. So, when the whole subject is made fun of, they in their ignorance just go along with it. We only know what we know! Every day new animals are found on this beautiful planet of ours, wonderful remarkable animals. I believe Bigfoot is a big old smelly beast, full of ticks, and matted hair, but still one of the animals placed on this earth in his own place.

The information of late about the sightings being muffled, does disturb me. It appears that the animal is known to exist by the police and forest service. And they are happy to keep it hushed up. I'm sure they have their reasons, and they are probably very good reasons.

But, wouldn't it be great if everyone knew that Bigfoot was out there, that if they watched for him they might catch a glimpse? How can you look for something if you don't even know he exists?
