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

Sam from CJ has left a new comment on your post "For New Readers":



Wanted to check out what I could about the 1963 animal. Since I live in Cave Junction and knew some old timers still around I wanted to hear their side of it. They remembered the animal being found but somewhat different on what road it was found on.

One put me in contact with Dotty the former owner of the JUNCTION CAFE. She lives in Selma now but still remembers the picture that hung on the wall at her cafe. I asked her if she had a copy of the photo and she replied that she never knew who finally took it down or what became of it. It belonged to a patron of the cafe that was on the scene of the dead animal.

Her recollections of it is that the pictures were some kind of a wildman ape mixture. I asked if she had seen the Patterson film and if it looked like it in anyway. She said the body of the "beast" was so decomposed that you could not tell if they were the same type creature. With that said, she remembers the men talking about the hands and feet on the body as being human only much larger.

She said it was her understanding the animal was female in nature. I asked her if she now believes it was a dead bigfoot and she said that there was no doubt in her mind that it was a bigfoot.

Then again, she told me of government type people rounding up what photos were taken by the crew that found it. Her recollection is that the body was removed by the forest service within a day of the find.

Thanks for reporting this as I had never talked with anyone that told of the dead bigfoot before. I did find out the beast was found on the road near O'Brien that goes over the mountain into Happy Camp Calf. The road was named DEW MOUNTAIN RD in the 60s but now is forest service marked only and called Greyback Rd.

What a wonderful comment. Thank you for sharing. Let us know anymore that you find out. We do know that a few people have photos of the animal, but there is some problem of publishing them. The "problem" has to do with the government not wanting them published ... Linda Newton-Perry
