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

Bill Emery Reports a Forest Service Ranger Sighting


Guest Editor-Blogger, Bill Emery, has this to say:

While talking with a forest service ranger over the Christmas holiday, he told me of another ranger that ran across one of these creatures in the mountains above Steamboat, Oregon, this last summer.

As it happened he was going up to this campground to put fire danger signs up, when he observed a large female Sasquatch in the creek next to a compsite.


He said he noticed the table at this site had been turned over and seemingly dragged out from under a tree. When he approached the table a small rock came flying towards him. As there was nobody at the camp, the ranger started looking towards the direction it came from. He glanced at the creek and there she was; a seemingly full grown brownish-black female Sasquatch looking at him.


She watched him very closely for over a minute. Then she turned and walked off into the forest. He noticed as she walked away, she had a handful of water tubers she'd apparently been washing. He was in absolute shock. Being a skeptic, he quickly had a turn about face.


He said that several people in the last 2 years had reported strance things there and the forest service had tried twice to look the area over, never to find anything out of sort.


He described the Sasquatch as seven feet, 400 pounds and estimated length of hair on head, maybe four inches and body hair three inches. She had large, dark eyes, sloped forehead with dark weathered skin around eyes and nose. The nose was of flat appearance, and dark small ears compared to size of her.


He filed his report at the Umpqua Ranger station.

New Sighting Report




Guest Editor-Blogger, "Still Can't Believe It" has this to say about  her Bigfoot sighting:

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever tell a soul about my encounter. I'm a private person who never thought the Bigfoot thing was anything but stories. Then it happened to me.

Going to work last Nov. 28, I was between Cottage Grove and Bohemia Mines, on Highway 58 when my car quit me. I was off the road in a wide spot waiting for somebody to come along. No traffic at all being it was 4:00 A.M. After waiting about a half hour, I got out of my car to see if I could find the motor problem.


It was then I heard a clack clack clack of something being hit against a tree down below me. It was the strangest sound out there in nowhere. After five minutes of it, it began to get much louder. Then it seems out of the silence of early morning came a horrible moan-like sound, that sent the hair on my neck straight up.


Then I heard the sound of somebody walking through the brush and woods. Whatever it was would stop and start. The smashing of the ground sound it made, made me believe it was something rather large.


Then it happened, this hairy black thing crossed the road right in back of my car on two legs. It was very large and tall. My God, I panicked and jumped in the car and locked the doors.


Maybe 10 minutes later another car came from the opposite direction and slowed down to see what my problem was. I yelled, "Can I get a ride back to Cottage Grove with you?" The man said "Sure." I got inside his truck and never said a word to  him or anybody else till now. I am 100% sure it was a Bigfoot that crossed in back of me.



Newspaper Column for week of Jan. 4, 2010.

I simply can not believe that this animal has not been substantiated as "real" by now. I'm beginning my third year of writing this column. And I believed when I first started, that it was "Just a Matter of Time," before we would have all the facts on this amazing beast.


But, here we are 2010 and no such proof. One thing I've come to realize is that in the research field, a large diverse group is hard at work to prove Bigfoot/Sasquatch exists. Because of these dedicated people, I again and still believe it is just "A Matter of Time" before the animal is substantiated as "real."


This column at one time was in three local papers, but now it is in one only, The Douglas County News. The other two newspapers have been sold and the new owners didn't care to have a Bigfoot column. I've started two blogs in the fall of 2009, Bigfoot Ballyhoo and Bigfoot Fancy 4 Kids. I'm enjoying the experience and learning so much about Bigfoot/Sasquatch.


I'll take a line or two to explain my interest in the animal. I believe he is a real live animal, nothing more: not supernatural etc. What interests me most is the reaction of the population on the subject. From the very beginning, scoffing at such an animal's existence has been the norm. As I've learned from the blogs, often the scoffing was to cover up that the animal was out there, and was rumored to be dangerous in some situations. That is probably what is continuing to this day. But shouldn't we know the animal exists? I certainly believe we should know. We should be prepared to see it in the wild as so many people have. And most pressing, the stigma of reporting the animal should be removed.


Where should one report a sighting? It has come to my attention that the police may not be the best place ro report a sighting. If you had that sighting while in a vehicle you may have your license suspended until a doctor reports you are "sound" enough to drive. It has been recommended that you report a sighting to the Bureau of Land Management or United States Forest Service. One commenter to my blog guaranteed the report would not be reported to the police and anonymity observed.

Bigfoot Researcher, Dale Saxton, Comments of Bigfoot Ballyhoo


Guest Editor-Blogger, Dale Saxton has this to say:

In southwestern Oregon alone there were nine sightings and thirty-two tracks reported in 2008, and in 2009, eleven sightings and thirty-nine tracks.


I only cover western Douglas, Coos, Curry and part of Josephine Counties.


No, I will not divulge any names as they have my promise to keep their names from the public. As for the police, I do not work in anyway with them. If folks trust me enough to tell me what they saw, then, I will never break my trust with them.


If any new sightings happen, you can read it here on Bigfoot Ballyhoo, only. I don't report them to any other bigfoot group.


Elkton Tunnel Sighting

Guest Editor-Blogger, Todd Neiss, Sandy, Oregon:

Just read your report of the Elkton sighting and you mentioned, "A picture is on my blog with the path the animal took." I went to your blog but could not locate it. Can you help me?

Also, I'm very interested in the Siletz sighting on HWY 20 as I recently investigated a sighting near there. Do you have any contact info for these two doctors? How close to Siletz was it? You mentioned that there was a "second reported sighting" by a couple. Was this also on December 12th? Was this in the same area? Was a police report filed? Do you know which agency was involved (which police force?). Do you know which "local TV news" program reported on it? Where and when was it aired?

I would appreciate any additional information you may have.

I do not have contact with the doctors and I don't have names of either sighting you mentioned. You can find the posts by going back through the old ones; several of your questions are answered in the older posts on this blog.
