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

"Autumn, Cliff and David it's all yours now."


Mary Rondeu has left a new comment on your post "In Fairness":


(Cole Saxton's sister)
Speaking for the Saxton family we wish Ballyhoo all the best. My family feels this has become a circus and Dad wouldn't want anything to do with it. Bill is our close friend and we know him never to be involved in any hoax. People have said things here that are not true. Autumn,Cliff and David it's all yours now. We thank the Perry's for their support for Dad and Bills work.

No Fun!

A Comment from Carlos

Carlos:

I'm a bit confused and I hope somebody can shed some light on this. I have been following this blog and the developments with the ESP team's evidence and photos. Occasionally, I have commented and asked questions. One of the questions I asked, early on, was whether the photos taken by the ESP team were clear and in focus. Mr. Saxton was kind enough to answer my question with an affirmative and since that time, we have been assured by all, that the photos are of excellent quality.


At some point, yesterday or early today, Bill Emery sent a photo to Linda Perry of a Bigfoot face that was taken by one of their game cameras. It was put on this blog by Mrs. Perry and shortly afterward, somebody posted some images that are from a 1977 movie and match the photo from the ESP team.

These are the facts from what I have read so far. If I'm not following this correctly, please let me know.

Here is my concern. If the ESP team witnessed the Bigfoot that they call Clyde and the ESP team has very clear photos of this very Bigfoot; how is it possible that they did not recognize this most recent photo as a hoax?

They have seen this animal in the field and have, at least, three very clear photos. How did they not see that this photo was different?

Also, it seems rather odd that somebody could locate the ESP game cameras and then place a photo in front of one of the cameras in such a way that it not only is balanced but also proportionally correct.

I always approach new information about Bigfoot in an optimistic manner. Mostly, because I want to believe; as it's much more fun that being skeptical. Therefor, when the news about the ESP photos was released, I could not wait to see them. Furthermore, the other evidence gathered by the team helped lend more credence to the photos.

I still remain hopeful but somebody from the ESP teamm will need to explain how this happened when they have comparative photos and witnessed this creature live. Also, I'm very disappointed that Mr. Emery has decided to withdraw from this blog as it only weakens the position and credibility of his team. If he and the team are victims of fraud then it's best that they explain what happened rather than withdraw into the shadows, so to speak.

Lastly, I regret that Mrs. Perry promised to end this blog is the photos are a hoax. She can't be held responsible for something like this. Unless, she has seen the photos before and had more information than what has been posted so far.

I would welcome an explanation from the ESP team as how this happened. I think it would go a long way with those of us that have supported their efforts.




I'll say one thing ...

I understand Bill Emery being tired of this sort of treatment! I know I sure am! ... Linda Newton-Perry

Joey's a little upset!

"A Matter of Time" Newspaper Column



We Grieve a Loss


I write this column each Saturday. I am crestfallen and shouldn’t be writing it at this particular time. But, I’m a creature of habit and must get my assigned work done at its appointed time. The blog Bigfoot Ballyhoo has experienced a great loss this morning. Bill Emery, of the ESP Team, has withdrawn any further contact with the blog. I would like to say, the team owes Bigfoot Ballyhoo nothing. It has been our pleasure to follow their discovery of bigfoot. We thank you and eagerly look forward to viewing the photos at the same time the world does. I promised to discontinue Bigfoot Ballyhoo if the Team’s photos proved to be a hoax. This morning’s upset does not prove anything, and so we will continue “talking bigfoot.”

I would like to remind everyone, bigfoot photos will always be appreciated even after the animal is pronounced “real.” When you are in the woods do look for the animal. It seems from all accounts, you do not have to fear it, but as with all wild animals, you should be cautious. It has been proven time and time again that it is very difficult to get a good photo of the animal. Bigfoot has been endowed with the perfect characteristics to blend in with his environment. So, keep your cameras ready when hiking, camping, and hunting. Please share your photos with Bigfoot Ballyhoo. The email address is in the Bio section in the right-hand column of the blog.

Last week we were told of a truck, RB Slagle #8, that hit an unknown animal and thought to have killed it. The information is in a police report that can be viewed at the Josephine County Courthouse, Oregon. The year was 1973 and the time the animal was hit was 4:20 AM. The report can not be copied and put on the internet. We would appreciate it if someone could view the report and write it out in their own words. No photos are available, but someone should have photos in their private collection. If one is found, please share it with this blog.

It is hunting season in Oregon. Hunters, please watch for bigfoot. Be careful and be safe. Until next week.

Announcement from Mr. Emery

Announcement: Mr. Emery now believes that someone held up a photo to the trail cam to discredit the teams endeavor. He plans no longer to post anything on Ballyhoo. At Mr. Emery's request I am removing Bigfoot Premise.

In Fairness


In fairness I will put these photos on this blog. XXXXXXX  emailed these to me and claimed they came from the top photo, movie.

P.S. The sender of these photos asked that his name be taken off, for now.
