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

Finding Bigfoot: Birth/Legend


Bigfoot illustration above, near where the PG film Oct. 20, 1967 was filmed.

I watched the TV program Finding Bigfoot: Birth/Legend this morning. We recorded it. Christopher, my husband, wasn't interested in watching it. He thought it would be just more of the same. It was. But I still enjoyed it. 

Late May when my son and I traveled to the Oregon Caves, I thought about going a little farther south and looking for where Patterson and Gimlin filmed Patty. We decided not to go. We had already spent five hours on a dangerous hike and were pretty much bigfooted out, as it were. I expected this area where Patty was filmed to be roped off and an easy walk to get to it. But it isn't so. Gimlin had to take the crew of Finding Bigfoot to the off road overgrown site.

So, I was very happy to see the area on this two hour TV program.  Can't wait for the second year series to began. ... LNP
