Bigfoot Column, A Matter of Time

Mill Creek Sighting

Another exciting week on the blog, Bigfoot Ballyhoo: We’ve had another sighting reported to us on the same day of the sighting; we’ve debated, What is bigfoot, anyway? and so much more.

The fact is, bigfoot is not a substantiated being. So, when hair and other samples are submitted for DNA testing, the results can only come back labeled, from a known being or unknown being. (Many of these samples have been compromised by human DNA because of handling of the material.)

On July, 22, a bigfoot was spotted crossing Mill Creek, Douglas County, Oregon, up to his waste in water. Anonymous, from one of the government agencies, we guess, commented that yes a “person” left evidence at the three mile mark on Mill Creek and Loon Lake Road, evidence, that is, that he had been there. He/she felt it necessary to use the word “person” evidently to keep from dealing with the backlash of very active debaters on what this being is.

It seems to me there is little to be gained arguing what this being is, until one is closely examined by science and labeled. This brings to mind the story behind the classification of the platypus. From my research, I found that more than one body was required to classify the animal. The first animal was said to be an anomaly. And so a second body was required. Can you imagine this happening with bigfoot?

At this point we should mention that many believe the government has had in its possession over the years, several of these animals: more than one, killed when Mt. St. Helens erupted and the animal from the Columbus Day Storm of 1962.

Bigfoot is an exciting topic and we will continue with our policy on Bigfoot Ballyhoo of not requiring a name to comment. This, of course, leaves wide open the possibility of ones making up stories of sightings, etc. This is to be expected. Why some feel it necessary to make up stories when we have plenty of legitimate sightings is a head-scratcher.

If you haven’t visited the blog www.bigfootballyhoo.blogspot.com, please do. Comments are welcome as long as civility is maintained. Comments will be taken off if this policy is breached. And I will not highlight comments I feel are simply argumentative or mean spirited. All comments are welcome, for one of our goals on this blog is to encourage “Bigfoot Talk.”

 (Until next week, Linda Newton-Perry.)

Mill Creek Sighting

Anon has this comment:

 I  can see no reason why the public should not get information on what was found on Loon Lake road this week. After a call from a person in which I will not name reported a strange incident involving a unknown person or animal, we went to the reported location to get some idea of what was seen by the two employees of a >>>>>>>>>>> Co. We did find some indications that something had been on the creek bank of Mill Creek. What we found is indications and impressions that something seemed to have crossed the creek and left this area heading east in the place reported. I am not a liberty to say just exactly what was found but can say we believe the witness told us what he saw seems to be consistent with the evidence gathered. There has been some rumors about this same person over the last several months in different areas surrounding this location. We have no data that says what this might or might not be as far as any identification.
