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

Photo on right was changed to a negative to see prints better.
I don't know if it helped any, but I left it.

Guest Editor-Blogger, Blue Truck, sent along this print and the following:

These tracks were photographed by me on the 7th at 6:AM of this month on a slide area on Lost Creek, 7 miles from Sitkum, Oregon. The tracks are 19 inches long and almost 9 inches wide and one inch deep. Clearly of something with 5 toes. Also, the stride was 6 feet apart. BLM also has a copy.

And this from Dale Saxton:

This is a sad day for me. Gary Emerald died suddenly yesterday. For you that didn't know him, he was the GE I told about in an early post on this blog. Gary was a very nice fellow. He died of a stroke. For those who didn't know this, Gary paid for and passed two polygraphs after his amazing sighting on Butler Mountain in April of 2009. I never once thought Gary made this sighting up. He was positive what he saw.

He died in his sleep with peace. Gary was 75 years young.

This photo is a stock photo and is not the Rogue River area of Oregon, that we know.

Guest Editor-Blogger, Jerry has this comment on the "Misty Cabin"  area to share:

That would be a prime place for such a thing. The canyons are so steep up there, they have never tried to log it. There no roads into the valley, no nothing. Also, the area is completely covered with Salmon berries all year until the snows come. It is about as wild up there as you can find. The timber is huge old growth. Bears, cats and what else? live in those bottomless canyons. One time I tagged a deer up there and was young and healthy then, still I thought I'd have to eat it right there.
