Ron Smith has left a new comment on your post "Jan. 2010, Oregon Bigfoot Sighting":

My name is Ron Smith. I posted the "call" experience near Mule Mountain , and have another instance to report. We were hunting in the Lorane area off of Wolf Creek in 2009.

We had hiked a blocked skid road approx. 2 miles into a heavily wooded marsh, over grown with Skunk Cabbage. He went one way, while I circled the large marsh on the opposite side. Visibility was limited to 50 or so yards in the timber.

As I skirted the marsh, I heard 3 very loud, distinct, evenly spaced wood knocks. BONK..BONK..BONK. echo from the drainage at the rear of the marsh.

After we returned to the road. My friend said that he had heard them. I told him that they sounded very even and deliberate, as if striking a wind fall with a bat. He agreed, and stated that no animal he knew of could have made those sounds, neither inadvertently, or otherwise.

The guy I was hunting with "was" a Bigfoot skeptic. He is open to the idea now.

Newspaper Column: A Matter of Time

Last week was very cold in our area of Oregon. I still managed to get out into the frosty mountains, watching for and searching for bigfoot tracks. As a matter of fact, I was out several times. I’m drawn to the forest both in cold weather and warm. I didn’t see or even suspect I was seeing a bigfoot while in the tangled forests. And I didn’t see a track, either. I was going to write that I wasn’t disappointed in not finding or seeing bigfoot. But I caught myself. For, indeed, I am always disappointed not to catch a glimpse of a bigfoot or see its tracks.

The thought just occurred to me that many people may not enjoy the forests if they knew a bigfoot-type animal lived in them. Then again, there are those that believe the forests would be overrun with bigfoot searchers, if the “powers-that-be” would just admit that bigfoot is a possibility. Who knows what would actually be the case?


I again asked about the limping bigfoot that has been spotted several times on hwy 38, near Elkton and Scottsburg, Oregon. The comment on our online bigfoot magazine, (a blog), again mentioned that the animal could have been hit by a truck near Scottsburg. It seems a truck driver said he hit a tall hairy man. No body was found. The animal has not been seen since. Please do keep alert for a sighting of this animal near Scottsburg and Elkton. If you will remember, the animal was said to have gray hair on a large portion of its body. It could be old and, of course, injured.


On the eighth of December, it was the sixteenth month since the ESP Team’s trail cam snapped a photo of a bigfoot. The team’s name for the animal is Big Clyde. Each month, I remind the readers of Bigfoot Ballyhoo and readers of this newspaper column of the monthly anniversary. Why? I have several reasons: I don’t want readers to forget about the team’s photos and discovery, and I want news of the team to be reported to me. And last, I want my name cleared of any hoax charges. This will only happen when their “discovery” is made public. If I don’t keep up with the news of the ESP Team (not told of their activity and announcements etc.) I will forever be known as a hoaxer, which I am NOT! Until next week, Linda Newton-Perry
