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

Dear ESP Team,

I know that the "discovery" of bigfoot is the most important thing to you (the ESP Team).  I, this blog, has always been a friend to you. But, I'm feeling you are not a friend to me. I've been left in a very bad light, because of your not commenting, your not defending your existence as "real people" (other than Parchell) and the slowness of presenting your bigfoot photos and other important information. I feel my reputation will  and is being irreparably damaged.

So, I hope you will reconsider and help me out here a little. One person today has claimed he has sent Jean Ivey the Editor of the Coquille Valley Sentinel a letter, telling her of my so-called fraud. I am not a fraud. I am not a liar.

I have said I am not part of the "bigfoot community"! I'm not and don't wish to have anything to do with most of them. I'm at a low point this evening. I know you "owe" Ballyhoo nothing, however, I do hope you will budge a little on this and give a hand to a friend.
Thanks ... Linda Newton-Perry

Thanks for the chuckle, Ms Newton-Perry. It sounds like still another rude person has raged at you for not being a clone of the self-appointed "expert researchers"; and you have rightly told them where you stand.

There are so many questions for a reasonable person to ask about the "bigfoot community". For instance, why have these dozens of noisy experts accomplished nothing at all? They've been writing books and holding seminars (and getting paid) since the 60s. And once the internet became a fact of life, they all started websites and blogs. Where are the results? Personally, I'm grateful that you are not part of that community: the ballyhoo blog is a good place for civil people to meet and talk. Thank you!
