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

How Gorillas are Counted in Africa


Original photo: photoxpress

November’s National Geographic has a winsome photo of a silverback gorilla sitting, broad back to camera, in high foilage. A two paragraph article explains how these endangered mountain gorillas are counted. They did not require the animal be sighted but determined their number by fecal matter, beds and paths. Primatologist Martha Robbins, said, “We don’t want to encounter unhabituated gorillas,” ... “because it is stressful for them.” The animals counted were from Virunga Mountains of equatorial Africa.  


I wonder if this is how science will have to count the bigfoots around the world? The illustration is a reproduction of the photo in the magazine.

After reading about this sighting, I did some homework and am sure this bigfoot seen is the bigfoot Emery saw. The location is not very far from Agness, Oregon, and sure sounds like the same thing Emery was after. They, the hunters, told the storekeeper that they were up on Iron Mountain? According to google earth the area is very close to the Sru lake area.

Joey has something to show you.


Joey Bigfoot is happy to tell you readers that the Perrys' bigfoot column is in this week's Coquille Valley Sentinel. Here's a little secret Jean Ivey is not a bigfoot believer. We at Ballyhoo know because we've known the editor for several years. Maybe soon she will change her mind. Keep commenting. Keep "talking bigfoot."

Sharing Beauty

This photo is a stock photo. I don't know if these deer are the same as those that live in Oregon. I thought the photo was beautiful and decided to share it.

I overheard two men talking while shopping that the hunters they knew were not finding many deer out and about this year. What have you heard?

Ballyhoo's co-editor, Christopher Perry, knew of one bear and a few bucks taken. So, a few are having success. 


Old Sighting: Just in case you missed it.

Saturday Oct. 16th, I was told of a new sighting of Sasquatch by 3 elderly hunters. I will say the sighting occurred in the Siskiyou Range in southwestern Oregon at 7: am Saturday. The hunters were walking down a washed out dirt road and spotted movement up on the hillside. They froze in place because the thoughts were it was deer moving. The hunters then saw a dark black or dark brown creature walk out from behind a large oak tree. They all got a descent look at it before it moved into heavy vegetation. It was told to me the creature was upright, very tall and walking on two powerful looking legs and covered with sparse hair around its face and hands. It arms were long and powerful looking also. After the creature moved off they noticed that some orange-ish mushrooms had been put in a small pile at the base of the oak. The hunters all agreed the creature was not a bear but a Sasquatch or Bigfoot. When they examined the ground more closely they found prints with five toes on each foot. The measurements of the tracks were 18 3/4 and 8 1/2 wide at the heal. There is no indications the hunters made this up.


None of them believed Bigfoot was actually real. It was pointed out to me that none of them wanted to report the sighting to law enforcement because of fear of being dubbed nut cases.

They did say I could tell the sighting to the persons of my choice just to keep their names out and location of the sighting.
