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.

Local encounters – new research area

I’m living in Douglas County now, in a small cabin in the Umpqua river valley. We’re surrounded by mountains.

I grew up here and have spent countless hours roaming the woods on this side of the river. There are very few Bigfoot reports from over here, which is strange, because you can’t throw a stick without hitting viable habitat for a Sasquatch. I always just figured that, for one reason or another, the creatures simply didn’t find this area much to their liking.

Recent reports added

I’ve been trying like heck to catch up on a backlog of reports coming into the database. You can check out the most recently published ones here:

A new way to find Bigfoot?

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

Autumn’s commentary below… in bold.

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.

Real Bigfoot Pictures

If you go to Yahoo.com and search for “real bigfoot pictures”, you end up with links to Youtube. Sadly. Your first choice appears to be a link to a video that, if you can stand the thrash metal, will take you through photos including the Patterson Gimlin film, a few sad fakes and hoaxes and a photo of Michael Jackson. Last time I checked, his feet were relatively small (he was not a large man).

The next one on the list is a link to a video that includes the Dead Bigfoot in the Freezer hoax from those brainiacs down in Georgia. Great. Chalk one more up to credible evidence and satisfactory search results.

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.

Forensic Expert Says Bigfoot Is Real

October 23, 2003

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.

I finally did it. I’m blogging.

It seems that almost everyone has a weblog these days. Except me. It’s amazing that someone who works with computers on a daily basis wouldn’t have joined the blogging revolution until now. But I hadn’t. I dabbled a little, I guess. But nothing serious.

I had the Oregonbigfoot.com newsletter to help me stay in touch with all of you. What more did I need? Except, the newsletter took DAYS to ready for publication, and with a two year old, I do not have days. Or even hours. So I’ve decided that maybe a blog is a bright idea after all. So I’m trying it.
