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

I spend four days a week in the woods. I'm a surveyor for USFS. What you are talking about here is pure speculation not even based on one ounce of scientific evidence.

I have read the preliminary on the DNA samples. It doesn't address what it is only what it might be. And then again she [Ketchum] has no control samples to start with.

Yes, this is just my opinion on bigfoot. I need the same evidence that any good scientist would need to show the bigfoot to be anything other than lore.

Sure, I've seen things in the deep forest I can't explain. Sure, I've heard sounds I couldn't identify. I've even seen large human like tracks but it doesn't mean it's bigfoot. Tracks have a way of being deceptive in nature.

What it will take is nothing short of teeth and bones. If bigfoot were proved to be alive then millions of acres of forest will be shut down from harvest. That economic impact will be devastating to many states. We need to be positive we are sharing the forest with some unknown hominid before we act.

Wonderful comment, thank you. Yes, many of us worry about what will happen to access to forests once the animal is stamped "real." ... Thank you again, I so appreciate these thought provoking comments. ... Linda Newton-Perry

Where and what preliminary DNA results did you read?What do you mean when you say Dr.Ketchum has no control over the DNA samples?I think you need to go into greater detail or your comments are just speculation also!
