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

What if I encounter a bigfoot in the wild?

WS Parker, DFW has left a new comment on your post "A Word from Bill Emery":


Each year hundreds of reports are coming in about the creature known as bigfoot. Of course some are faked but the majority of them are from people who have nothing to gain from reporting a sighting. It seems many of these reports have different aspect on what the creature or animal was doing at the time of the encounter. Now that spring/summer is here many people will head into the forest regions to camp over the weekends and holidays.

If a person encounters one or more Sasquatches/Bigfoot they need to keep their cool. The vast majority of these sighting end with the animal quickly leaving the area. If you see one the best evidence shows not to move any closer to it. If bigfoot stands in place it's probably just curious about you. The wrong thing to do is scream or yell at the creature. This can bring on aggressive behavior on their part. Remember these animals as a whole will not harm you and will leave.

Use extra caution with your children because Bigfoot has in the past showed interest in younger children. The use of a gun when trying to scare the animal off may prove dangerous. In fact it may be the worst thing to do. The animal may think it's being attacked and respond with force. Everybody should use the forest for their enjoyment but remember the forest is the home of many wild animals and were just visitors there. Using these habits will keep you safe and make your camping experience enjoyable for all.
