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

So what would you do?

Do you have a plan? You know, if you "found" a bigfoot. It's going to happen to someone. You're driving along and there beside the road is a dead bigfoot. It's been hit by a car. Proof!  Proof, right in front of you that the animal exists. What are you going to do? What's the best plan?

How did this happen? When did it begin?

How did the practice of ridiculing eye witnesses of bigfoot get its start? Why is it now commonplace? Have any thoughts? I guess I feel the practice rediculous. ...Linda Newton-Perry

"Wildlife is inherently hard to photograph."


John has left a new comment on your post "BIGFOOT: Why No Photos?":


Wildlife is inherently hard to photograph. Most opportunities present themselves at dusk or dawn. Which requires more expensive equipment than most people own. Try getting good pictures of a bear or a deer, they are always in low light and moving. Tough conditions at best. Most sightings of squatches don't happen in bright sun and if they do they don't hold still very long. I lived in the mountains of Colorado for 2 yrs once. Had several huge bucks in my hood. Tried the whole time to get pics. Got a few blurry ones after being in the vicinity every day for two years.

So next time you see a blob squatch photo remember this. trying to get a pic of a moving animal in low light is almost impossible.

I thought about this for awhile and I have to work hard to get a good picture of my dogs who pose until you push the button. Add the low light issue with the elusiveness of this creature, the element of surprise as the sightings of Bigfoot are unexpected and momentary, and it makes sense why we don't have a perfect picture. Wild life photographers take days to get one really good picture of a wild animal.

As a test I had my husband step about ten feet into the woods. He was dressed all in black. I had him pull his cap down to cover his face. I snapped the photo. Couldn't tell what he was. I then had him remove the cap. Still it was difficult to tell that that it was a man. I used these photos in a newspaper article on just our subject here: the difficulty of getting a good photo of bigfoot. Thanks for the comments Diann E and John. ...LPN

Bill Emery His Adventure Searching for Bigfoot



Bill Emery:

In my last four days of travel, it was my strong wish to see if there was anyway to lure the bigfoot that was slapping the tree with rocks to come close enough to photograph it. And as before this creature never showed itself.

I camped along the river banks looking for more signs of them. Finally, after 2 1/2 weeks of being in the deep woods, it was time to return to my camp at Foster Bar as I was getting very low on staples (Food) So ended my adventure into bigfoot country.

Along the way, I collected hair samples and some other material that might be bigfoot connected. Except for the female bigfoot that followed me my trip was not successful in getting a good photo of bigfoot. But I spent over two weeks in the heart of GOD'S land and gained even more respect for the animals of the land.
