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

"Hatfield and McCall both believed in bigfoot."

Frank L has left a new comment:


This is not new news. Hatfield and McCall both believed in bigfoot. Peter DeFazio on the other hand will not comment on his belief on it. He has however helped keep this case of the Columbus Day bigfoot closed to seeing eyes. When he sat on the advisory board for BLM in 1987-92 he repeatedly failed to hold government accountable for its secrecy of the animal. And when the USFS was going to address this mystery in 1990 he voted to keep all evidence out of public view.

McCall asked that bigfoot be a figure spokesman for "Keep Oregon Green" but the state voted to use "Smoky the Bear." If you can get into the old records of Oregon government you will find these bigfoot facts. Some would rather it be forgotten but It's still on paper somewhere in Oregon.

Thank you. Very informative comment. ... LNP

I can remember when Pete DeFazio and Ron Wyden of Oregon put a big stop to information outbound from USFS. At that time they claimed the USFS was not able to be trusted with information that could cause a major change in forest policy. It was well known inside our agency that was a attempt to stop all bigfoot knowledge we held from becoming public. The law was passed under the Clinton Forest Act. While it addressed the northern spotted owl as the primary reason for closure of million of acres of US forest bigfoot was clearly under this classification of endangered species.By passing the law it made talking bigfoot with the public a non starter with BLM and USFS.

This is rather curious information. Linda wrote a blog about Bigfoot and a court of law. She certainly hit the nail on the head. She stated that the eyewitness testimony from people would be enough to make Bigfoot real. Curious that Senator Hatfield and Mr. McCall have both made public speeches in which they inferred Bigfoot as real. Conclusion (in my mind); Bigfoot is certainly a real species and not much of a secret. The only ones who think it's a secret is USFS and BLM. Perhaps the joke is on them. I knew I wasn't crazy. Have a fun filled and safe 4th of July.
