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

The "Law's" on Bigfoot's Side
Last week was very exciting in the world of bigfoot. The Rand Corp Group has agreed to help open the 1962 Columbus Day Animal’s file to the public. There should be photos and possibly even bones of that animal, found in early November when it was discovered under a fallen tree. Some believe that this file will not prove the animal exists. What “some” believe, often is not the truth of the matter. In the world of bigfoot, we often hear, “Why haven’t bones been found?” Well, they have been. From comments on Bigfoot Ballyhoo (www.bigfootballyhoo.blogspot.com) the bones were traced to the Smithsonian and then were ordered by the Department of Interior to be sent to them, where the file has been closed to the public ever since. For years a photo of the animal was tacked to a wall at a local restaurant. Photos are being sought, as many were taken on the day the female animal was found dead and face down under a log. If you have one of these photos, please share it with us. We wish to thank Debbie of the Rand Corp Group for her help and interest in bigfoot. It is apparent that she believes the public has a right to know about it.

And it is apparent, or seems to be, that Sru Lake is still having “weird” activity. No one has seen the perpetrator, but one commenter said he could hear limbs snapping and a very long vocalization that he’d never heard the likes of. He assumed it was the bigfoot that everyone has been saying lives in the area.

We are still getting comments that individuals who have had their licenses suspended when they reported a bigfoot sighting to the police are being compensated for expenses they incurred. One commenter on the blog said, in his letter he received from the state, that Oregon as of 2-6-2010 will no longer suspend a license when one reports a bigfoot to the police. We hope the several states that still suspend licenses will take Oregon’s lead and quit the practice.

Please do remember that if you’ve seen a bigfoot, you are one of very few that have had the privilege. Treasure that fact, for it will probably always be difficult to get a glimpse of this wood’s adept creature.

This morning we received  a photo of what might have been a bigfoot type creature. However, after some carful investigation we have decided it is probably bogus and will not post it on Ballyhoo.  The sharp background of the picture is identical to one we recently received, now with the fuzzy creature photoshopped (or by someother means) onto it. ...Chris Perry

Hi Linda and Chris. Yes all 3 of Bill's kids are bigfoot believers.They have seen their dad get downright testy with people who proclaim bigfoot is just a figment of the imagination. When Bill joined my dad looking for bigfoot, dad told my mom Bill is perfect to carry on his dream of getting proof to make it known to everybody.

I have grown up in the shadow of bigfoot as my dad made it his goal to find it. As we know, he didn't succeed, but thought he had the proof now. Most people will say NO but he thought differently.

Bill is like Dad: He will never stop looking for the truth on bigfoot, nor will I. ... Bill is working today at Agness on his jobsite.

More from Cole:
 
Dad took me for my first time when I turned 13. My sisters went with dad too-- many times, because they were older than I was by 12 to 14 years. I think one of Dad's best reports was the older lady that told him she had seen a dark hairy creature in her back field eating apples off a tree. When Dad tracked the creature he found piles of apples about a mile from the farmhouse.
 
He said nobody is going to take apples over a mile into the woods to put them into a pile.  He thought bigfoot was collecting them for later. This happened up by Dora, Oregon

Thank you, Cole. If you have photos of when you were young, bigfooting that would be wonderful. I know you are busy, but I think of this blog as a magazine about the world of bigfoot and your dad played a great part in making it the popular blog that it is.

The Smell of the Forest

Don’t you love the smell of the forest?

And the river’s breath?

Don’t you love, that anytime, on any path

You could glimpse a wild animal

Big or small?

Do love the forest, love what breathes its air,

Because we’re always discoverying new life living there.

Linda Newton-Perry

Dear Cole Saxton and Bill Emery,




P.S. This to Bill Emery: Did your children enjoy the world of bigfoot? As you can see the sheet of paper above is too small to write this message. And do remember we are thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. ...LP
