Squaw Lake Renamed

Squaw Lake Renamed

Squaw Lake, a small lake south of Powers, Oregon, has had a name change. It is now Sru Lake. And again, vandalism has been reported at the lake. A very heavy, iron fire ring was found high in a tree, convincing many that a human just couldn’t have pulled it from the ground and heaved it into the tree. It sounds as if the lake is closed and trespassers, if caught, will be charged with trespassing. Several comments from readers of the blog Bigfoot Ballyhoo, give good argument that something indeed is living in the area, and that “something” is believed to be a huge bigfoot.

Helpful too, was a comment from a reader on why a police officer cannot warn one of the consequences of reporting a bigfoot sighting to the police. Or even why the police officer cannot just refuse to take the report, such as when one is stopped for a traffic violation and the officer does not give out a ticket. A ticket is not the same as a report. Once one calls the police station and requests to speak to an officer to “report” a bigfoot sighting the wheels are moving and can’t be stopped. The officer must take the report, this according to our anonymous commenter. Now we know why reporting a bigfoot sighting to a police officer, the sighting from our car, will result in a suspension of our license, in the state of Oregon. Now that we know, shouldn’t we let as many people as possible know?

On the blog, Bigfoot Ballyhoo, I’ve provided a page-size poster than can be printed. If you will tack the poster to a free bulletin board in your area, it is at least a start. According to Verna, a commenter on the blog, these states also have this policy and consequences for making a false report: AK, AZ, NE, GA, WV, NC, DE, MN, NM. The states of WA and UT also practice the false report, but it’s a class B infraction.

We are looking forward to the CNN special on license suspension after seeing a bigfoot. Evidently, it is on hold because of the earthquakes and other pressing news. I want to thank all the readers and commenters on the blog. If you will notice, we will be starting a new extension blog. The reason for the new blog is so the newest comments can be available and not roll into the older posts. And it will give us more room for photos etc.

The State treated me like a total flake.

I was in the area of Indian Mary park in 1972 in Josephine County near Hellsgate Bridge and saw a large upright animal come down off the bank, cross the road and disappear into the brush. Being it was very close to the park with many campers there, I thought I'd better report it to the law for safety.

I did, and received the same treatment as many of your readers have. License suspended and forced to see a shrink for re-evaluation. At the time I was driving a truck moving a yarder up to the Galice area. The State treated me like a total flake. It makes me angry when somebody say's they don't do this!

Interesting story, but the year is wrong...In 1844 there were very few whites & no railroads yet in Oregon.The first wagon trains had not even started..The Chetco killings were in the 1890s which leads me to believe that the years of the described killings was 1894..

The Old Day's Of Bigfoot.Back in 1958 Bigfoot was just another legend that was talked about around the Indian community. Then in 1958 Gerry Crew found large footprints on a new timber access road In Northern California. Back then most people had never heard of Sasquatch/Bigfoot. All of a sudden people saw newscast about Bigfoot and the craze was on. But the hunt for this elusive creature goes actually goes back to the early 18 hundreds. In 1844 David Hamlin a railroad employee for The Oregon Pacific Railway. found himself embroiled in a mystery. 3 employees had been found dead by Hamlin near what is now Glendale,Oregon of an apparent animal of unusual size and strength. the men were found torn to pieces from some unknown beast. Workers reported they found barefoot tracks of 19" and more all around the bodies. Hamlin then hired trackers to track this beast down and kill it, but to no avail. Trackers reported that they followed the big tracks for over 4 day's only to lose them in a heavy rain storm. The beast was never found and Hamlin was fired by the railroad. One year later the Chetco Monster began a rampage. The Chetco and Glendale sites were only 120 mile apart. Could it have been the same ill tempered beast, who knows ,but it's food for thought.

The date could be wrong but the first railroad that came to Oregon was in 1840. SS&T had a timber rail
up to present day Roseburg to haul lumber down to SF Cal.
