Oregon Bigfoot Blog

On the Nite Callers radio show this weekend, I did it. I opened the can of worms. (If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the show, you can do so here. I’ll warn you now… it’s two hours long and my verbal cup verily ranneth over. Hee! A special thanks to Laurie, Luke and Lauren for making me comfortable enough to discuss things I normally wouldn’t.)

Why did I do it? In a nutshell, because I knew the audience of that show is comprised of many long-term witnesses and I had a feeling they’d easily relate to what I was talking about.

I just finished reading this amazing novel again. As far as Bigfoot fiction goes, The Shadowkiller by Matthew Scott Hansen is my all-time favorite. The writing is as good as anything I’ve ever read and I guarantee it’s one you won’t be able to put down.

Normally, I abhor anything that portrays Bigfoot as a “monster”. But in this, his first book, Matthew Scott Hansen has somehow managed to include all the horrific violence and suspense of a Stephen King novel, with a justifiably angry Sasquatch as the antagonist. The violence – and there is a lot of it – is woven into the story so brilliantly that it never appears gratuitous, despite the very creative ways this creature finds to exact its revenge on the puny humans who caused it such angst.

MEDIA ARCHIVES UPDATED 11/03/09...

New photos, sounds, eyewtiness interviews and more!

These sounds are remarkably similar to the Puyallup, Snohomish and Klamath screams – but without the echo or background noise.

Uploaded 11/03/09: Eyewitness interview

This excellent audio interview was recorded by OB Investigator Mike Hall during his investigation of Oregonbigfoot.com report #03976. Listen as the witness describes “chattering conversation” heard and damage done to deer feeders.

You’ve gotta love Halloween… the local papers finally decide to cover some of this stuff.

What’s so scary about Estacada?
Tales of Bigfoot, UFOs and ghost sightings

Last year, the Estacada News issued an invitation for readers to share their tales of fact, fiction or folklore about local hauntings, UFO sightings, Sasquatch encounters and other unexplained mysteries, but no one responded.

All right… so the daily blog isn’t always “daily”. I’m working on getting daycare a couple of days a week so I  can get caught up on any number of things. Full-time motherhood and the word “concentration” don’t go hand-in-hand, unfortunately.

Taking a break from the Discovery series to bring you the latest in Bigfoot news…

Most folks would skedaddle if they were in a secluded forest and came face-to-face with a very hairy biped standing 8 feet tall and weighing a quarter-ton.

In case you missed it… :)

Discovering Bigfoot Part One: An Overview
Bigfoot Discovery Part Two: Winning the lottery
Bigfoot Discovery Part Three: “Proof”

Today, I want to talk a couple of things that I feel are imperative to any discussion of Bigfoot “proof”.

Context

In 1967, Roger Patterson, with the help of Bob Gimlin, set out to film a bigfoot documentary in Bluff Creek, CA. On October 20, Roger took 24 feet of color film on a handheld 16mm Kodak movie camera that would change history for many.

Here I am, up at 6 a.m. This will be the last post for a couple of days… I’ve got company coming for my birthday weekend and I plan on taking a much-needed break, playing in the woods and generally just getting my butt out of this computer chair. The blog should be back online as usual on Wednesday morning. :)

If you’re reading this post and haven’t read Part One, please do so now to keep things in context…

In the last post, I touched briefly on the “To Kill or Not to Kill” topic. Before I go any further, let me reiterate that I am firmly of the no-kill persuasion.
