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, Bigfoot Investigator


A Bigfoot Investigator explains how he became interested in Bigfoot.


I've been a timber cutter for the past thirty years. In '83 while working a job in southern Oregon, I became interested in Bigfoot. This job was behind a locked gate. One morning I went to work to find my saw over a bank and destroyed.  All around this area were these big footprints of something. After talking with my co-worker, I had a swift turn around on my thoughts about the so-called Bigfoot thing.

You see, I never did believe in such a thing. But there they were, prints of something very big and heavy. Well, I started to study everything I could find on this creature. Then in 1989, I met Dale Saxton as he was building a road into this area I was cutting.

After talking with him on the subject, I realized that there are more than one of these things. To make a long story short, we struck up a friendship and started investigating this creature. Over the last few years, we've been to some amazing sites. We will never quit looking for the truth on Bigfoot as long as we are able. 


People have always seen Bigfoot, they are just now starting to talk about it more in public.
