A Tribute to Bob Gimlin

October 20, 2011

 

I first met Bob Gimlin in Willow Creek California in 2003 while filming the Bluff Creek episode of Mysterious Encounters. I was 29.

Bob’s name was one that I’d been familiar with since I was a small child. My passion for checking out bigfoot books from school libraries and bookmobiles (to sidelong glances of amused librarians) – coupled with my own small, secret connection that made the Patterson-Gimlin film extra special to me – made my first meeting with Bob one of the most treasured moments of my life.

I think I may have filmed a UFO last night. Or two.

Rowan and I were out in the yard after dark last night. I’d heard rustling in the field across the road and shined a spotlight over there. The cows were hanging out, chewing their cud, eyes shining. Good old tapetum lucidum. :) I thought it would be neat for Rowie to see the glowing eyes, so I got her shoes on, I grabbed a couple of glowsticks for her to play with, and we went outside.

Jeepers Creepers… Those are Creepy Peepers!

September 8, 2009

bigeyes2Here I am again, fixated on Bigfoot eyes. It’s been a lifelong obsession, so why stop now?

In today’s post, I’ll be covering several topics: bigfoot eyeshine, accuity of night vision, the ability of these creatures to see light spectrums beyond what we can see, and potential applications in field research.

BIGFOOT EYESHINE

Many, many eyewitness accounts of bigfoot sightings indicate eyeshine or “glowing eyes”. Eyeshine is often described as red – though other colors such as green and even blue- have been reported as well.

But what is the actual physical mechanism that would create this phenomenon?

Mom chases Bigfoot

September 3, 2009

How did I NOT know that this was out on DVD? It seems like the last time I looked, I couldn’t find it anywhere. Or maybe that was just through Blockbuster online. Anyway, I’m JAZZED! Rowan doesn’t have this in her library yet. And, erm… neither did I. *grin*

Harry and the Hendersons (Special Edition)

A couple of days ago, Rowan and I were down at Gram-Gram’s house (my grandmother – her great) and Rowan was out on the porch playing with kindling. (Yes, she has other toys – she just likes firewood. *grin*)

Life is Like a Box of Chocolate-Covered Ants?

July 27, 2009

This post really is about Bigfoot research. It just may not be immediately apparent.

Sometimes, things happen in our lives that cause us to stop dead in our tracks and take stock. We come to a crossroads; we get blindsided and end up reevaluating everything. Everything we’ve done, everything we are… and where we’re going from here.

To loosely paraphrase Forrest Gump – Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know which ones will be sweet, and which ones will leave a bad taste in your mouth. (I know that’s not exactly what he said, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve misquoted a movie.)
