Bigfoot Trap in Southern Oregon – Video

This is a really nicely done video on the Southern Oregon Bigfoot trap.

Description posted by Youtuber Scott Walt:

Southern Oregon is home to what is most likely the only official Bigfoot trap in the world. The ten by ten structure was built back in the early 70s by special permit. A wildlife research team out of Eugene, Oregon was inspired to build the structure by sightings from far back as the late 18-hundreds to up to the time they constructed the trap.

It wasn’t an easy task. In 1974, Applegate dam that now impounds Applegate lake didnt even exist and the hike up to the construction site was a long and hard one from the valley below.

Bigfoot Mural in Willow Creek

I like it! It’s nice to see Sasquatch depicted as a gentle creature for a change, instead of something with blood dripping from its fangs. :)

Apparently, local artist Duane Flatmo was running out of walls.

Having already painted oversized murals on the likes of the Eureka Co-op and the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts, as well as a host of other local buildings, Flatmo recently expanded his reach, completing a massive piece overlooking State Route 299 from the wall of the new Shafer’s Ace Hardware in Willow Creek.

A new way to find Bigfoot?

Sure. If scientists would believe their own data and start to take the subject seriously.

Read this one and weep.

Bigfoot’s favorite haunts revealed

London, July 7 : A team of scientists has applied ecological niche modelling to predict the mythical Bigfoot’s favorite haunts in the United States.

Conservation biologists often need to predict where rare species are capable of living – for selecting the best site for a national park, for example, or forecasting how badly a species’ range will suffer as the climate changes in the future.

Dead bigfoot…er in a museum?

I don’t know how I missed this.

Kudos to Grover for remaining true to his scientific calling  all the way to the end… and beyond.

National Geographic – Lousy Reporting

I stumbled across this article again this morning. You know those little lines people get in between their eyebrows when something irritates them? Yep. I’ve got ‘em.

What ever happened to National Geographic being a credible source of information? Let’s examine a 1993 article about our hairy friends that National Geographic felt fit to publish.

It’s been the subject of campfire stories for decades. A camera-elusive, grooming-challenged, bipedal ape-man that roams the mountain regions of North America. Some call it Sasquatch. Others know it as Bigfoot.
