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

1962 Columbus Day Animal





Many years ago in Nov 62,when the strange looking animal was found by the crew of Griffy and Laird in which my dad worked for and was present I can mostly remember what was said by my dad one evening after supper. He had gathered my brother and two sisters up in the front room and told us of the hairy giant found dead. He then explained to us that this giant had been crushed by a tree in the windstorm of a month earlier. He told us of a half human and half animal looking thing. He showed us a black and white photo of what I now believe was a black haired bigfoot. I remember he told us of the large hands and feet on it. My sister Lucy ask dad if bigfoot would go to heaven and dad said "yes she is already there with god". I had recently heard of the search for missing files of that event from my grandson while he was looking on the Internet for pictures of the Patterson bigfoot. I have never understood why the government would hide this special find from the eyes of the public. The only reason I could ever come up with is that two forest service men posed alongside the body. One or both of the men were very high ranking forest officials with USFS. This might explain why the government does not want these files shown as it would clearly show the government knew in 1962 the bigfoot to be a real living animal or primate.

I believe the question has been answered by Diann and the above comment from anonymous. HLS is over everything these days. I would like to say have a great 4th holiday everybody!!!!



"Hatfield and McCall both believed in bigfoot."

Frank L has left a new comment:


This is not new news. Hatfield and McCall both believed in bigfoot. Peter DeFazio on the other hand will not comment on his belief on it. He has however helped keep this case of the Columbus Day bigfoot closed to seeing eyes. When he sat on the advisory board for BLM in 1987-92 he repeatedly failed to hold government accountable for its secrecy of the animal. And when the USFS was going to address this mystery in 1990 he voted to keep all evidence out of public view.

McCall asked that bigfoot be a figure spokesman for "Keep Oregon Green" but the state voted to use "Smoky the Bear." If you can get into the old records of Oregon government you will find these bigfoot facts. Some would rather it be forgotten but It's still on paper somewhere in Oregon.

Thank you. Very informative comment. ... LNP

Hatfield of Oregon was briefed on bigfoot.

Governor Hatfield of Oregon and many of the higher echelon of his time were all briefed on the existence of this animal in Oregon. Governor Tom McCall even held a press conference about bigfoot once. He said the animal is not any danger to humans. Then in 1968 when Patterson shot his film Senator Hatfield told the house of representatives in Oregon "it appears we have a spectacular addition to Oregon wildlife in our forest. The people of Oregon are again blessed with with the presents of a very rare species".

I had completely forgotten about the Mark Hatfield speech in which he made note of the Columbus creature and Patterson film.

Can these videos be found? And if found what is the best way to get the word out? Does anyone know a newsperson that is pro bigfoot? Anyone have ideas on this important subject? ...LNP
