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

Jerry Raafe has left a new comment on your post "Searching for Bigfoot Prints ...":



I was watching YouTube last night and found the video of Phil Morris that claims he sold the suit to Patterson for $435.00 in 1967.

I have to say, the man is pretty compelling, because he knows all the little details about the costume and Patterson, along with a receipt from the money order in Sept 67.

If this is true, then why are some people still protecting Bob Gimlin as some kind of super Bigfoot king?

People have claimed Bill Emery has done great damage to the Bigfoot community by not releasing the photos he holds.

Talk about double standards! If the film is fake then the damage from the two Yakima men will forever shadow any thing to date regarding Bigfoot.

Why doesn't someone look into what Morris says and find out if Patterson did have a suit in 67? If he did then it's a no-brainer: the film is a hoax. (I guess you meant is.)

Yes, I wish these claims could be cleared up as well. All I know about the Emery Team's photos is that Emery has bigfoot's interest first in importance. It will soon be 21 months since they got the photos. If anyone knows anything, please comment. Thank you for the comment. ... LNP

P.S. Could you explain the point about double standards. I don't understand. Thanks
