CA TR20 This reminded Jim of a case in California. A couple had weenies on the grill when a dark Bigfoot came up and looked at them. They just left everything...hot dogs, grill, and all, and just baled out of there. Jim said it hadn't done anything, just looked at them. He says he would have stayed to study the creature right back.

Sighting Text:
CA, San Diego area, TR25 Some months later (1970), back in the Los Angeles area, I (Jackson Moore) met Bob Foreacre, an ex-paratrooper and truck driver that was recovering from an on~the-job back injury. Bob was married and had two children that he thought the world of, taking them almost everywhere he went. One night Bob called me, and asked if I had seen the 1l PM news on the Bigfoot that had been sighted south of San Diego. I said no, that I hadn't and we talked for a few minutes more, and then hung up. But the next day, Bigfoot was all he wanted to talk about, and as we were fishing, it was hard for me to get away from the subject. Bob was the type of person that if he didn't see it for himself, it just didn't exist. His argument was like so many others: that it was all a hoax. At that time I still had most of my research material and when we got home I showed him all the data, but he was still a non-believer. He said, "since San Diego ain't that far away, why don't we go check it out?" So we did. Come the weekend and we were ready to go. We packed some cameras, plaster-of Paris and camping gear - and side arms only. We arrived in San Diego around 10:30AM on Saturday, and called the TV station to get the address of the people who had seen Bigfoot. It seems, that they had several inquiries on this, because the information was not long in coming. Then we drove out south southeast around 12 miles, following the directions we had been given, and found the place we were looking for. The folks we met had been given a bad time by most of their friends over this, and they were reluctant to discuss any of it. Bob and I convinced them that we only wanted to make some casts of the prints and shoot some pictures of whatever we had found. So it was late afternoon before we were shown where to find the tracks, some four miles away from their house. They had gone into this area to search for wood, when they had seen Bigfoot. By the time we found the place, and set up camp, it was too late to do anything, but cook a meal and call it a day. After eating, we sat around talking about what we would do when and if we found anything. Around 10PM the full moon came up and Bob said he had to answer the call of nature, and so saying, he walked off into the night in a southwest direction. Once his sound disappeared, I went about getting everything ready for in the morning, making sure that everything was where we could find it when we needed it. I checked my watch, and saw that it was 11:05PM and no Bob. I hollered a couple of times but no answer. I waited a few more minutes and again called, no answer. I thought that maybe Bob was trying to pull my leg. At midnight, I figured that Bob had enough time to answer several calls of nature, and if he was joking around, it had gone far enough, so I took a five-cell flashlight and started looking for him. His trail wasn't hard to pick up, as Bob weighed around 280 pounds and had on cowboy boots, and the heels dug in deep. I had tracked him out into the middle of a clearing of about 40-50 acres surrounded by patches of scrub trees. When his tracks just stopped, there weren't any trees of any size in this area large enough to hold a 280 pound man, nor were any close enough for him to jump to. So I spent an hour going back over each print, to see if he had walked backwards in them. As far as I could tell, he hadn't. Then I went back to camp and emptied out several boxes, and took them back to the clearing and covered the last six footprints so that I could study them in daylight. I spent what remained of the night firing shots at five minute intervals, hoping that I would get a return shot. Came the dawn and I had a pile of spent brass and a sore arm, but still no Bob. I left the camp as it was and drove to the nearest phone and called the County police. After I had explained to them several times over the phone what had transpired, they sent a couple of deputies out to see into it. They arrived around 11:15 AM, and weren't any too happy about it. After giving them all the facts several more times, they finally agreed to follow me back to camp and would look into it. It was close to 1:00PM when we arrived back at camp. I was hoping to see Bob's face, sitting there, but it wasn't, so I showed the deputies where the tracks were, and made sure they didn't walk in them. Then when we got to the boxes, they could only scratch their heads, and say it didn't make any sense to them. They were stumped, plain and simple. After I explained to them that Bob was a family man, and also was expecting a sizable cash settlement (the family never received anything, possible foul-play?), he was not one to just disappear like that, so the deputies put in a request for some Pima Indian trackers that they use from time to time and they /'' arrived on Monday. Once they were shown where the tracks started they went alone. After they came to the tracks under the boxes, we could still see them from where we were in camp. After looking around for a few minutes, they carne back to the camp and got into the car that had brought them out, and wouldn't say anything more about what they had found. But they kept looking out into the clearing and shaking their heads in a negative way. I was asked to sign an affidavit to the facts as they found them. But from tha

Sighting Text:
CA TR25 * (Mike Jay report) A Salem, OR informant, who wishes to remain anonymous, reports that his uncle had a close-range Sasquatch encounter in the fall of 1978 or '79 on forested property the family owns in the vicinity of Sonora, CA, adjacent to Calaveras Big Trees State Park and a locality known as "The Sheep Ranch." The witness, who was bow hunting for deer at the time, had allegedly fallen asleep in his tree blind after a long, unproductive morning, and was awakened in mid-afternoon by the shaking of his stand platform and the sound of someone climbing up its improvised steps. At about the same time the witness noticed a powerful "wet dog" stench...then a large, hairy conical head and massive shoulders appeared in the blind's doorway from below, and a "human-like, very intelligent" face with large, round, pinkish eyes (didn't specify if this was supposed to be the eyes themselves, or the corneas, as opposed to things like inner lids, bloodshot whites, or other factors which may have simply given that impression)peered quizzically at the startled man for several seconds until, in a sudden panic, he threw his bow at it. The being retreated, and the badly shaken hunter was able to watch from his elevated perch as it slowly walked off towards cover some 40 to 50 yards distant, obviously in no great hurry, stopping once or twice to peer back over its shoulder in the direction of the blind. The witness described the creature to family members, including the informant, as being approximately 8 feet tall, 600 plus pounds, having exceptionally long arms and large hands, and being covered head-to-foot with shaggy, yellowish-white fur...an albino, it seems. No mention was made of whether tracks were found or, indeed, of whether or not anyone bothered to look. The informant does note that his uncle is an extremely proficient hunter and an experienced observer of wildlife who still pursues game in the same area, but gave up his bow in favor of a high-powered rifle not long after the incident occurred...?? (moraL..those who fall asleep in a blind, might have an awakening that's not kind.) .

* Frank Flaton investigation and report, 4/20. Raymond D. and his friend Dan, seniors in high school, were vacationing at Camp Richardson (T13N, R17E, CA) near the Lake Tahoe Wilderness over the Labor Day weekend in 1979. They were hiking to Fallen Leaf lake, and some 4-5 miles into the wilderness they found themselves lost. Deciding to return to Camp Richardson they began to follow a stream bed back to Lake Tahoe. Raymond said that this region of California had been experiencing a drought and that the stream bed that they were following was muddy and not full of water. It was approximately 1:00 PM when they found the foot prints in the muddy stream bed. The weather was clear and warm. The foot prints were very large, approximately 20 inches long and 8 inches wide. Even though there was a drought, the prints were fresh and still wet in the mud. Raymond also observed that there was no arch to the prints. Whatever had made the prints was flat footed. The stride between foot prints was a massive 5-6 feet. Raymond and Ken followed the prints for about 20-30 yards when they suddenly turned and went up a bank.

CA BUTTE TR98 * Rita of North CA Sierras tells of a remote cabin, and there’s a military generator used for power. She returned one night and it had been damaged. It was the big 4 cylinder type on skids, water cooled. The wires had been torn apart. They were the 1/2 inch cables, twisted and snapped and pulled apart. She learned that it would take 2000# sq. in. of strength to pull them apart like that...about like two 4 X 4’s pulling it between them. There was white hair, tissue, and blood mixed with the wires. Rita sent them to UC at Davis for analysis. They said it was human blood and hair that they couldn’t identify.

Witness went up Dune Grade in her pickup truck to enjoy the scenery and stars. Witness and friend drove up the road a couple of miles to a wide spot and pulled over to get in back of the truck. After some five minutes, a rustling in the manzinita east of them was heard. Standing up to get a glimpse of the wildlife (a mother bear and two cubs were seen two months prior). There was a deep growl in the brush, then a creature stood up to eye level with the witness. Both dove into the truck through the back sliding window and drove away at 35-40 MPH. The creature seemed to be paralleling them for several yards at near equal speed. Witness works as sheriff’s deputy and spends a lot of time in the back country on dirt bikes and jeeps, but has never encountered the creature again. Described as over 7 foot tall, huge hands with long, almost inproportionate fingers, deep guttural grunts almost resembling a chuckle, ran with great agility through the underbrush paralleling the truck with ease for the first 100-150 yards.

CA BUTTE 1990 TR95 39 45N 121 30W * From: Archery7 Date: 26-Jan-00 In 1990, (Calif.) this man, at that time, 23 years of age, during a very heavy snow storm had hiked in two feet of new snow to deliver a back pack load of food to some friends who were snow bound in a back woods cabin. He spent the day with them, had dinner, then left shortly before dark. It was now about 7PM, on a moonlit night with the full moon lighting up the area like day. He was paralleling a small creek which was the head waters of a small mountain lake. ( Lake Concow ) A Maidu, Native American Name. As he neared the lake he heard water splashing in the creek. He looked toward the noise and observed what at first he thought to be a large dark horse, crossing the creek. He stopped and watched from about 25-30 yds. The dark object then parted, he could make out two very large Ape’s looking, very hairy, very, tall and large, possibly 6 or 7 feet tall, and at least 400 lbs. or even heavier, animals of some type. They were crossing the creek to his side in 25 degree Dec. weather. Both creatures stopped still in the water, looked at him, he became terrified and started to run with much difficulty in two feet of snow. He looked back over his shoulder, stopped and watched the two creatures who were by now out of the creek, on the trail and paying him no more heed disappeared into the manzanita brush. He described one as being taller and heavier than the one behind as they disappeared. He made his truck parked on the road in short time. When he got home he made several phone calls, related the story to some friends, they laughed and accused him or being drunk. He has not talked of the incident to any one other than members of his family, until to day, after his mother related the story to me, and I called him for verification. I have known this man since his boyhood, he has never given me the impression he could or would fabricate a tale like this!

CA BUTTE 1992 TR99 * I had a sighting in 1992, I was in a small cabin in a remote area, recovering from a long illness. I had been hearing strange "bird" calls and other odd sounds. Some things happened that really got me frightened, like having a large animal follow me back to my cabin while out walking in the woods. It was a huge animal, but behaved strangely, I decided to try and get a look at it. I cleared an area of the woods and set up a spot in the cabin where I could watch the area from a 2nd story window, I would set out food and other types of things that I thought might attract it. One morning I awoke to the sound of something hitting the cabin. Sounded like someone slugged the cabin with a blunt object. It was a VERY loud and hard strike. I looked out the window and standing about 75-100 ft. in front of me, in the open...an enormous gray colored Sasquatch. It was dawn and the eyes had a glowing gold effect. He was about 7 1/2 -8 ft. tall, approx. wt. about 600+ lbs. He was standing looking into my window, with both arms outstretched to the sides kind of flexing. I know this sounds very weird, but I got the impression that he was displaying his strength. I made the biggest mistake...one that almost caused a heart attack (no kidding) I picked up my binoculars and looked into his face. ClOSE UP!! This is what I saw. The creature was silver, like a silverback gorilla. He had short kind of thin hair, you could see his skin underneath, the skin color was dark gray. He also had deep grooves in the skin on his face. I went into shock!! I watched him for about 10 minutes, he just stood there, moving his arms. My room mate took one look at my face, and saw how frightened I was and refused to look at the creature although I was pleading with him to do so. My brother was on the phone, I was describing what I was observing and he was doing his best to try and calm me. In an effort to get my room mate to look at the creature I told him I would try to frighten him away so he could get a good look at it as it was "hopefully" leaving the area. I ran downstairs and pounded on the door, then I opened it and looked out, the creature was gone. I came back into the house, my room mate had not even looked. I was so angry and really terribly upset. My room mate was to encounter the same Sasquatch about 1 month later, standing in the open again...beside a telephone pole. He was perhaps even more terrified than myself, if that was possible. The thing I thought about a lot later were the "grooves" in the creatures face. I made a evaluation of the general health and age of the creature and came to the conclusion that he was very old. The grooves in his face were consistent with deep wrinkles, or age lines in the face of a very old human. I don't hear of this being reported often but his ears had very little hair and were rather pointed.

CA 1993 TR93 * Carene Jan 18, 00, Dog incidents Have several reports of interaction w/dogs. Will relay 4 incidents that I have investigated, have not seen remains of dead animals. Have seen the dogs in reports #1, #2, #3(saw dogs before they were reported as missing). Dog in report #2 did have scars on his face consistent with witness report. 1. Location: No. Calif. Date of report: 1993. Lady states that 'something' or 'someone' is harassing her dog at night. She has a large breed dog which stays in a wire kennel outside. Reports that she hears the dog barking excessively and aggressively hurling it's body against the wire trying to attack antagonist. The dog does not display fear, but anger and excitement. When she goes outside to investigate, she hears large animal or person running away from the kennel area. This happens repeatedly. When she goes back into the house, the 'animal or person' returns and continues to harass the dog. She states she feels as if something or someone is playing a very cruel game. But also noted: this person lives in a remote area with no close neighbors. Lady ends up bringing the dog indoors as dog is being repeatedly harassed, will not stop barking and she cannot catch the culprit. This dog is always contained, or chained. Is not allowed to run at large. Healthy large dog was seen at time of report. 2. No. Calif. Date of report: 1993. Lady in report above states that she asked former resident (he lived at residence approx. 3 yrs. earlier) if he ever had any problems with his dog being disturbed or harassed by wild animals etc. Former resident states that he owns a large Akita Mastiff cross, and that his dog ran into the woods in pursuit of 'something'. Does not know what the dog ran after, but describes hearing the dog fighting with it. He presumes it to be some kind of animal, rejects suggestion that it is a cougar or bear. States that animal makes ungodly bizarre screaming and roaring sounds. He cannot identify screams with any known creature. Dog returns with large gash, 6-7 inches, side of face, no other apparent serious injury. Requires veterinarian care and stitches. Dog survives conflict. This dog is almost always chained. Incident occurred at a time when the dog was allowed to run loose. Healthy large dog belonging to former resident seen after report.

He and a companion with her son and a black Labrador dog had gone frog hunting in the marsh. Around midnight they heard steps in the water coming from around a bend. It was pitch black everywhere; and the dog was acting weird; so they went back to the camp and built a big fire. Later; the moon came up and they were standing around the campfire; when he noticed a big shadow behind some trees. Using his weak flashlight; he caught the glow of eyes 7-8 feet off the ground; 2-300 feet away; and noticed them blink. Scared; they packed every-thing up; and without even folding the tent; took off. Later he read about Bigfoot at the library and thinks that's what he saw. There was not a strong smell; he commented; but there was a slight; wet-smelly-dog-hair odor (they had a lab).,

CA BUTTE 1999 TR#88 39 38N 121 24W 2050 FT * Report from Carine Short, BERRY CREEK, northern California area, no date. Witness said there were three unusual animals near her home that she had seen on more than one occasion. They went close to witness’s house where they inspected her compost pile. She had thrown food leftovers, vegetables and fruit on the pile. Witness said, “one morning, very early, I saw a creature near the compost pile...although I did not notice breasts, I supposed this to be female...it was smaller than the other adult, and much to my horror, it seemed to be carrying a ‘human’ infant. I was stunned, thinking this child must have been kidnapped! I looked through my husband’s hunting binoculars, and got a much closer look. Although the infant was very small, tiny, and hairless, the face was definitely NOT human. It was a squashed, flat gorilla type face.” Carene comments that she had read “In Search Of the Russian Snowman,” Bayanov, that there was a description of hairless infants. **Hi Ray, Finally found that date of report of "hairless infant"; the date was May 12, 1993. It was following a period of "absence", from late Feb. to. May. This one of the first sightings after this absence. Hope this helps put your dates into perspective. Take care, Carene Note: Carene gave us a report last newsletter of a mother BF carrying a hairless infant. Mid-May is a bit later than I would expect a new-born to appear if a female goes into heat in the fall.

Sighting Text:
CA BUTTE 2000 TR97 ELV 2000 393843N 1212408W I've been having some action in my neck of the woods! Very interesting stuff. Here's the 1st. My neighbor was walking from our house to his one evening after our Bible study. He'd been gone for about 4 minutes. Then we hear pounding on our door…There's the neighbor, breathless and scared to death!! He told Steven and I that as he walked toward his property, he noticed there was a large "man" standing by Warren's camper. (Warren stores his camper here, when he visits he likes to have his own place to stay) We've got 7 acres and my husband Steven has a shop about half way across the property. That's about where the camper is. Anyway, as he approached the camper, the "man" ran about 30 feet, and then stopped and stood watching him from next to my horse trailer. He claims he does not think a man could run that fast...but is confused because the "whatever" was running on two legs, the footfalls were quite heavy. He's still frightened by the whole area, by the way, he has lived here for about 14 years. In the last 3 weeks both my husband (who does not, although he tries, handle the idea of Bigfoot real well) and I had a glance of a little kid B.F. he streaked by the front of my cabin, and also past my husband's shop. Fun!!

CA BUTTE 2000 TR97 CARENE about 2 weeks ago (early May). Two fellows fishing at night heard what initially sounded like 2 birds calling back and forth. This occurred in No. Calif. at about 2,800 ft. elevation. Soon the whistles were accompanied by a series of tapping sounds, also back and forth. The whistles got louder and 1 witness remarks on the "throaty" sound of the calls. Also noted by witness was the location and distance between the "birds"... they kept track of each other's location, staying at an equal distance from each other while at the same time maneuvering to different points around the fishermen. The witness I interviewed was very certain that what he initially believed to be "birds" were not birds at all, but something else... something big. Witness also reports hearing loud footfalls.

Sighting Text:
CA BUTTE, VCTY BERRY CREEK DATE TR89 * Woman awakened at dawn by a huge object 'hitting' the outside wall of her mountain home. Looking outside from the window, she sees, about 25 yards away, a huge grey colored Bigfoot. This guy is looking at her, had hit the wall of her home in an apparently deliberate attempt to gain her attention. She calls him "The old guy" as re: her description, this creature was grey, and black, in silverback fashion, with deep groves, or lines in his leathery face. He proceeds to exhibit his masculine strength, and attributes, by a series of stretching and flexing motions with his arms. The lady reports,"It was as if he were trying to impress me." He stood in the open, totally unafraid, and she got a very good look at him. Describes, ht. approx. 7 1/2 ft. and approx 600 lbs. The lady, not knowing what else to do, and in a state of semi-shock, runs downstairs with pistol, pounds repeatedly on the door, yelling, (in attempt to frighten the creature away) before opening the door ready to shoot. The "Old Guy" got the point evidently, and was then, no where to be seen. Another woman, reports hearing someone in the bushes prowling around her house every time she sunbathes. Finally, thinking it to be a deranged neighbor, lady brings binoculars, in attempt to catch a glimpse of the ‘peeping Tom'. She goes out to her lounge chair at the usual time, much more clothed, and again hears the familiar, rustling in the brush. She looks through binoculars to area of motion, and reports seeing a reddish-brown, hairy leg, being stealthily extended, almost 'slow motion' in her direction. See's a bit more of the 'intruder's hairy body, and immediately runs into house and calls neighbor. Neighbor arrives, to find no trace of the described animal. This is obviously the end of this lady's sunbathing practices. Carene

CA DEL NORTE 1989 TR97 840 FT 415231N 1235038W * Rob Butler report One of my encounter with a Big Foot was in the Winter, Feb. 1989 On Highway 199 just out side of Crescent City by Patrick Creek. It was in the day about 2:00 PM and it was cloudy and had just stopped raining. I pulled over along side the road to eat a sandwich. There was a Bridge about 200 yards in front of the truck and there was a steep hill right along side the truck. As I was checking out the great view I heard a large branch break and a Man like creature came rolling down the Hill and stopped on the road in a sitting position about 100 feet from the truck. It did not move for a few minutes. The Bigfoot Had long hair about 4 to 6 inches long and was red in color and moved it's arms up very slowly and was checking out his hands when it noticed me. The face looked very Human but was covered with hair ( much like a Mountain Man ) it seemed to be reading my mind or I had that feeling of being too scared to move. Then it slowly got up staring at me all the time. It was about 8 foot tall, and it took a step towards the truck and made a noise like talking but I couldn't under stand it. Then it turned and ran and in about 10 steps it was at the bridge and it jumped up the side of the concrete wall supporting the bridge and at about 15 feet up it disappeared into the woods. If you ever see a Big Foot don't move, and keep eye contact on it, and try to talk to it slowly and don't panic, but if it charges run like hell.

CA DEL NORTE 2000 TR93 414522N 1241202W * Dr. Jim Karl, Jan 14, 00. During my trips from September through December, I drove around the areas north and south of Highway 199 east of Crescent City. The area seems like ideal Bigfoot country. I found two examples of twisted trees, which appeared to be done by Bigfoot. The trees were thicker than four inches and broken about ten feet up. I only picked up the scent of Bigfoot a few times. It seems that the Bigfoot in this area are very careful about not coming close to the mountain roads. I found one faint footprint, in a campsite that was about 22 inches by 8 inches. There was also a possible footprint in the snow, but I couldn't establish a trail of snow footprints so I'm a bit skeptical about that one. John Freitas brought his equipment along and did some sound experiments. On one occasion, we got a very clear "hooting" sound in response to our Bigfoot calls. We repeated the Bigfoot call a few times and repeatedly got the owl hoot in response.

CA,Del Norte,41,45,124,12,d,m,1996,t,44,TR#68-Jun’97,4,Don L./Crowe, ,12Whistles, branches breaking, * May 30th, my wife Theata and I had an invitation to the grand opening of the Pacific Northwest Museum of Natural History’s Sasquatch Exhibit IN ASHLAND, OR. We were astonished...this is a major multi-million dollar museum, run by respectable and reputable people...and they are taking a look at the “un-lookable!” Took lotsa’ photos, many of which I’ll run this news. Director Phil Lamb invited the WBS to contribute, and we have several things on display, with numerous plugs for the WBS. The display sets the visitor up as a scientist, using the scientific method to test the evidence portrayed, and make their own decision if the creature is real or not. A ballot at the end of the tour asks you to vote if you believe the creature is real, don’t believe, or undecided. At that early date, it stood at 28 believe, 20 not, and 18 undecided. This is a major exhibit! Support the museum, and visit this summer if you can...it’ll run until December, so make it a destination on your summer vacation. My attendance was paid by donation. Spoke to Don L., who recalls searching the mudflats near Florence, OR, with Peter Byrne, 24 years ago, in an investigation. Since then he had an experience a year ago off Hy. 101, near Crescent City, CA. There were three high-pitched whistles, then three more in answer, from higher up in the woods. He walked in with his son, and something very destructive would move sideways into the woods, breaking limbs and such. inches

* Posted to BFRO list. (bfro-list@moneymaker.org) CA DEL NORTE 1998 TR#80 41 50N 123 58W Thursday, June 13th, 1998, 13 miles east of Gasquet, CA, on Little Jones Creek Road, off US HY 199 (Crescent City to Oregon), witness heard Bigfoot screams. The scream at 10 PM lasted until 2 AM, 6/14 in the afternoon, and was also witnessed by two friends. On 6/15 at 10 PM the scream was heard again, and on 6/16 it was heard at 7:45 PM, lasting for five minutes. Again on 6/18 at 2 AM it was heard. The screams appeared to be coming from a ridge west of witness’ house. they were loud, but from afar, and lasted from 20 seconds to a minute, and for a maximum at any one time of five minutes. Dr. Jim Karl visited the area (see report below). Dr. Jim Karl checked the Little Jones Creek area out on 8/7. It is about 25-30 miles NE of Crescent City, CA, on Hy. 199 (goes to Oregon). This was a very remote paved road and no houses were seen, although some roads were evident. It was some 3.6 miles from Hy 199 up Little Jones Creek, and all he saw was a feral cat. Strangely, he noted 5-6 cobbles in the 4-6 pound range in the middle of the road, distributed occasionally one at a time over about a mile.

It had been snowing recently and his son was looking at a mountain that had recently been clear-cut, when witness noted a human type figure at the top of the mountain. The figure was walking downslope and appeared to about 7-8 feet tall and was covered with a red-brown fur. Watching the creature, it continued down the hill, stepped over a fir sapling and just looked around. It had walked a total of 400 yards that both the witness and his son saw, then entered the forest at the base of the hill. Three other cars had pulled over to the side of the road to watch also.

CA DEL NORTE 1998 ELV 28 FT TR94 413136N 1240214W JIM KARL, usually ask people in Crescent City if they know of any sightings. I did find a waitress, who said her uncle in Klamath had found a Bigfoot track in his backyard a year and a half ago and had even made a cast of it. I told John Freitas about this, and hopefully he'll look into it. I strongly believe that Bigfoot is much bolder than most people think in terms of venturing near houses in remote areas. I'm sure that they raid orchards on a regular basis. A lady working at a Mini-Mart in Willow Creek told me that two of her friends spotted a Bigfoot in the middle of Highway 299 fifteen years ago. I was hoping to go out again in February, but the weather was too darn bad. I hope to take another trip as soon as the weather forecast shows some rain-free days up north. Dr. Jim Karl

CA DEL NORTE 1999 TR#87 41.50N 123 58W 356 FEET * vonohain@sprynet.com (Jim Karl) April 31st trip. After waiting a long time for the weather to improve (not to mention procrastinating on finishing my income taxes), I just recently went up to Bluff Creek, Gasquet, and the Olympic Mountains. A lot of areas are closed due to an alleged "Port Orchard" tree root fungus so it's a good idea to call before going to an area. Bluff Creek was gated until the wet season was over (whenever that might be) so I had to turn away and go elsewhere. Much of the snow has melted off although there was thick snow a mile east of John Freitas' cabin near Gasquet. I also got my car stuck in snow in the Olympic Mountains near Pete's Camp on Blueberry Creek Road, where I underestimated the thickness of the remaining snow. I was able to shovel the snow away from the tires, jack up the front wheels, and put on tire chains so that I could back out. I noticed "birds" whistling around me as I worked on my tires. I turned around quickly and one "bird" immediately shut up. I also attracted "birds" when I was changing a flat tire on Forest Road 22 in February. It may just be that these "birds" are birds although I don't think I've ever noticed song birds clustering around a disabled motorist. Most birds don't seem that curious. (I also didn't see any birds.) I was able to see John Freitas, who was testing out some nice sound equipment to lure a Bigfoot. I had to cut my trip short because of a job offer that just came through. There were a few indications of possible Bigfoot presence near Gasquet. I put together a nice system for a stakeout. I have a turntable powered by a small electric motor that I rigged up. The turntable has a wire frame above it so that I can put a plastic umbrella over the assembly. My Sony night vision camcorder goes on the turntable along with a Taser. I put the whole arrangement on top of my car. I run wires down from the equipment to the inside of the car. That way, I can rotate the camera 360 degrees. I have a five inch TV, which is fed a signal from the Sony night vision camcorder. The TV is powered off a big twelve volt marine battery. I also bought a dome tent, which I would set up next to the car so that the Bigfoot would suspect that I was in the tent and not in the car. John Green mentioned an incident in which a Bigfoot had come around a tent that he was in multiple times on one Bigfoot expedition. I have an eight hour battery for the camcorder so that I can just leave the camcorder running until it runs out of tape (which I believe is two hours). I can turn on the laser sight on the Taser and fire it remotely by electric wires that I have rigged up. I have a little control panel with one three position switch that rotates the whole assembly either clockwise or counter clockwise, and two other switches for turning on the laser sight and for firing the Taser. The big problem with staking out an area is that you have to be protected from mosquitoes and the cold, which means that your ability to swing around a camcorder (or Taser) is highly limited. By placing a camcorder and Taser on top of a car and running all the wires inside the car for remote operation, an unobstructed field of view can be established. The only additional equipment that I need would be additional infrared filters for flashlights and spotlights (in addition to the rather inadequate small infrared light on the Sony camcorder). There is an impressive optional infrared light source with a one hundred foot range that a friend of John Freitas had. It plugs right on top of the Sony Camcorder. Unfortunately, I did not have time for a stake out on the last trip. It takes a while to set up the whole assembly right now so I have to work on making it more efficient so that I can set it up in just a minute or two. 4/22/99 follow up He's the guy (Frietas), who was reporting Bigfoot screams near his cabin about 14 miles from Gasquet. I tried a couple overnight stakeouts near there in August 1998, and heard some fog horn sounds. I've seen him twice. He's a pretty good guy. We drove around the roads there on my 1998 trip and surprised a bear near the road. I've e-mailed him several times. He's got a Bigfoot Search set for Memorial Day weekend.I'm sure he'd like you to come along.Dr Jim

CA DEL NORTE 1999 TR#88 * I just got an update from Harrack and Moneymaker about an incident near Fish Lake (CA). As you probably know, Fish Lake is only three miles from the road that goes to Bluff Creek. I used to detour over to it every time I drove up to Bluff Creek since it was so close. Construction crews appeared to be clearing a road that went beyond the camp site the last time that I was there. There were always lots of campers and fishermen at that lake despite the remote location. I remember an earlier story of footprints being found near Fish Lake. I saw a tree that had been broken off at about the eight foot level (It had about a four inch diameter at that height.) on the road outside Fish Lake. On my last trip in late April, the access gate to Bluff Creek was closed because of an alleged "Port Orchard" tree root fungus disease, whose spores might get on cars and be spread further. A sign said that the area would be closed for the rainy season. Anyone, who wants to go to Bluff Creek, had better contact the California Parks Department first to see if it's open.

* Steven Rudometkin was himself searching for gold in the area of the South Fork of the Smith River; in the Six Rivers National Forest; about 13 miles ESE of Crescent City; CA. He says they were a long distance from regular roads and people when they came across a large redwood tree with the bark scraped away laterally. They did find another local who said it was a "Bigfoot Tree;" and had been scratched by one of them as a marker. He had seen a small one cross the river himself. While in the area at one time while mining; Steven said they noticed a bad odor; very pungent; a mix of unwashed human and a fish smell; he said. While with his partner; Gary; they had the cars parked next to each other; and in the middle of the night Gary said something picked his truck up about four feet in the air and let it drop. It didn't wake Steven though. One night while lying awake; not yet asleep; they both heard the sounds of little children playing in the distance. As they were so far out; and it was so late; they were at a loss to explain the noise. They had spent about four months camped in the woods hunting for gold.,

He didn't have any stories about Sasquatch, but he claimed that he was walking near the Smith River and spotted two small bipeds about four feet tall late at night. I asked him if they might have been Bigfoot children or a race of dwarf Indians, but he only saw them in shiloutte. He did add that he talked with a local Indian, who told him "You got to see the little people," and who went on to say that they've been around the Smith River for a long time. They must be able to run like rabbits otherwise they would have been caught by now.

CA FRESNO 1995 TR#84 37 07N 119 04W * BFRO report. Witness and several friends were 65 miles east of Fresno, CA, on the Swamp Lake 4-wheel drive route, in the Sierra NF at 8000 ft. Late September, 1995, about 7 AM, temperature was about 30 degrees. Witness was riding mountain bike on swamp route, friends riding 3-5 minutes away. As he ascended trail heard a large animal moving in the forest some 20 yards off the trail. Couldn’t see but could clearly hear it in the underbrush. On up the trail, one of my friends was in the trail looking at a very large set of footprints, about 200 yards from where he heard the noises. The tracks had come on the trail and proceeded down it about 30-50 yards. It appeared to walk a few steps, stop and stand still, then move a few more feet, as if it had stopped and was listening. It went down the trail a few more yards than headed into a small meadow near where I had heard noises in the brush. The tracks were very deep in silty powder and were well detailed. Lines in the sole of the foot were visible and the toes were splayed, there was little or no arch present. Tracks were about 14-15 inches, witness could fit whole shoe into track. The tracks were laid down on top of the trail of my friends bike, who was about five minutes ahead of me. A couple of bear hunters came along and we asked what they thought...they had never seen such a track. A half mile up the road the tracks appeared again, moving across the road and going downhill towards the previous site of prints. The bear hunters had also found the tracks and followed, but lost them in thick brush. The jeep trail runs close to the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness area. This area of pine forest has granite outcrops and a small creek off the trail, a tributary of Ruby Creek, with a small meadow. Witness again says elevation is around 8000 feet with a question mark.

Sighting Text:
* BFRO report. In Feb, 1995 about 11PM, full moon,sounds were heard at Huntington Lake, CA by five people sitting on lawn chairs (there was no fire). In the distance a loud howl was heard, seemingly coming from miles away, the dogs across the lake started barking. Witness thought bear had been hit by car. But 3 or 4 howls later of 15 second duration and echoing around the walls of the valley, not sure what it was. Then there were sounds of perhaps of "somebody talking backward English" through a megaphone. This lasted about five minutes, but none of the "words" could be understood. This time we thought perhaps a crew was hunting for the creature that made the first howls. The lake was frozen and there were about three feet of snow on the ground. Elevation7000ft.

TR33 Mike Jay report, 11/19/93. September 15 or 16, 1990, 1:00 PM, about 20 miles NE of Willows, CA (on I- 5 north of Sacramento). Witness was Jon Purcell, 40, an industria1 mechanic from Springfield, OR. Jon said he was being escorted on a walking tour of a remote corner of a friend's property, when he and his companions, the owners, heard semi-automatic gunfire, apparently coming from the leeward side of a nearby hill, just out of their line of sight. Fearing that some of the friend's free-ranging cattle were being shot by persons unknown, the trio returned to their parked jeep to retrieve their own weapons, then began ascending the hill to investigate. The men, walking several yards abreast, were 2/3's of the way to the top of the 60 foot slope when, informant says, a large, hairy upright biped suddenly burst into view through the scrub-oak cover and ran towards them at a tremendous speed, passing between the first two men at a distance of less than 20 yards and actually "brushing" the informant as it leapt by, allowing the startled man a split-second, but nonetheless, eye-to-eye view. Informant describes a creature approximately 6'5", 450-500 pounds, very heavy, muscular, "weightlifters' " build, exceptionally long arms and legs, completely covered with hair, except for face, with 2 1/2-3 inch coarse dark (thought to be black or very dark brown) hair. He also describes a "short, powerful" neck, a pointed or "crowned" head with a receding (sloped) forehead; small flat ears, a semi-prognatious, "half-human, half ape" face with extremely deepset dark round eyes, a large flat nose, flaring nostrils, and large, square, yellowish human-like teeth. Creature was only in view a matter of seconds as it ran past the group, bounded down the slope and disappeared in heavy brush before the witnesses could react. Informant estimates that it ran "2 to 3 times faster" than a man. He is quite clear, however, on what he believes he and the others saw. Informant further states that after recovering their wits the party proceeded to the presumed location of the gunshots and found no other humans present, but did discover muddy vibram bootprints and several discarded 7.62 NATO (.308 WCF) cartridge cases, leading to speculation that the creature observed was frightened by"the gunfire and/or actually being shot at at the time of the occurrence. Six tracks of five-toes imprints 16 inches long were examined. Odor not noticed, when the creature passed. The sketch on the cover of this issue is a drawing of the Purcell creature, described to artist Terry Ring, who gives his permission to reproduce.

CA HUMBOLDT 1934 TR#76 * Dr. Jim Karl, April 5, 1998. I was talking with a neighbor of my dad. She was born in 1915 and was raised on a farm in northern California. She is one of the nicest, most wholesome little old ladies that I've run across. Her husband had a PhD in physics and worked on the Manhattan project, and two of her sons are medical doctors. She was telling me that she had seen Bigfoot prints near Humboldt, CA, in 1934, and that the local newspaper had printed a number of articles over the years, pre-dating the nation-wide news frenzy in 1958 with the Bluff Creek footprints. There seems to be a lot of interest in the history of Bigfoot sightings, and it would seem that, if local newspaper records in Humboldt County could be found, some very old sightings would be there. It would be interesting to know what they called the creatures back then.

Summary: 9 FT LONG BF BED WITH DEER BONES, HEEL PRINT

Sighting Text:
CA TR22 (A question about other Bigfoot evidence found) There’s a bed that we found in northern California in 1960. We pick long creeks 30 to 35 miles long, and get up to the ends of them, and then we’d search them. WE were searching a creek, Broadcat Creek, which is about 30 miles long, and I was with a fellow called Jerry Crew (cat driver of BF fame), and we’d walked about ten miles and spent the night. And we’d started down the second day and I saw something yellow on the bank above the stream. We were walking in the water most of the time, because it was very dense with vine maple and hardwood. Anyway, I went up top have a look at this – It was a decaying moss which turns yellow after it decays to a certain stage. There was a pile of this moss in the shape of a big bed, 9 foot long by 4 foot wide. There was an impression as if something had been lying there. The moss had been pulled off of three trees, up to a height of 12-13 feet, and there were no scratches on the trees, no claw marks. Down by the stream there was a single…what looked like a heel print, just one faint heel print, nothing else. In the bed, mixed up, were the bones of two deer. There were two skulls…two deer had been taken in there and eaten…in and around that bed. We found no hairs, and that’s the only sign we’ve found that might have been made by a Bigfoot. email from PB when I couldn't find Broadcat CK Hi Ray >>> Early in the 1960s N.CA.BF Project it was decided, for reasons of security aimed mainly at the "gun wallahs" whose philosophy with the BF was "kill it to prove it" we took to disguising the place names of various areas where we were operating. This may have been Tom's (Slick) idea, I forget. Anyway, there may or may not be a Broadcat Creek. But the creek where Jerry C. and I found the bed was Redcap Creek, east and (maybe) a little south of Willow Creek; the find was about half way down it, i.e., 15 miles downstream from headwaters. The creek's dimensions, as stated, are correct. It was a long, hard hike, I recall, thirty miles in cold water and over rocks and deadfalls from where we

He told Dave Byrd that in the fall of 1965 or 66, while he was logging on the Hoopa Indian Reservation, CA, the crew slept out at night near the equipment. About three times a week for four months there would be tracks around the equipment and the 55 gallon drums, but nothing was touched. The tracks 14 to 16 inches long went into the woods and they followed the 5-6 foot strides. Occasionally a logger would catch a blurred glimpse of something moving quickly into the forest. Grandpa said the Indians didn't bother BF, and they don't bother Indians. Think they are their own people. If born retarded or deformed, made to go into the woods. So, couldn't kill BF as believed it was their own people they had cast out.

Sighting Text:
CA HUMBOLDT 1967 TR97 At Bluff Creek there was a logging show, and 50 gallon drums were thrown into a canyon where the road crew was working. Ray Wallace, Frank thought, let Roger know there was Bigfoot activity there, and Roger with Bob Gimlin went down. Roger Merritt, a neighbor, was invited to Bluff Creek, Larry said, but his wife told him, “if you go...don’t bother to come back.” So, he, of course, stayed home with his grateful wife...but he never will make it to the history books. As they were riding up the game trail, on a bit higher ground from the creek bed which was full of logs and limbs, Bob’s horse started acting up first, Frank said that Roger had told him. Then Peanuts started acting up, the Bigfoot had spooked the horses, and Roger forced Peanuts head up against a bank and got the camera out...he forced the horse down (bent a stirrup in the process). Dismounting the laid-down horse, he stumbled, and started filming.

Sighting Text:
* Daniel Perez; 9/17/93; 10926 Milano Ave.; Norwalk; CA 90650-1638; phone 714-351-9034. Daniel did a follow up on the Marvin Goss report and "Richard" from Bluff Creek; mentioned in TR#49. The man's name is Richard E. Leaven. At the time in question; mid-August 1978; Richard was a hydrologist with the US Forest Service. The area is Bigfoot Creek; CA; on an old dirt forest road; non-driveable at the time. Richard spotted unusual droppings near a stump; while talking to a fellow employee about "road stability" in the area. The droppings were discovered around eleven in the morning; may have been deposited that morning. Dropping collected in plastic bag; and taken back to the supervisor's office. Several people had seen droppings. Richard has seen; many times; bear droppings; and did not think it was that. Droppings contained berry seeds and vegetable matter; no trace of meat in diet or crushed bones. A parasite check was not done. No photographs. Droppings were "half the size of a cow patty." Marvin Goss told me he remembered being told they were human in form; 6 inches high; and 8-10 inches in diameter. A comment was that the droppings were made by animal 600-700 pounds in weight. No tracks observed. End of report.,

Sighting Text:
* Arleene Arp tells of a trucker that stopped at a rest stop between Arcata and Eureka; CA; Hy. 101; and was asleep in his truck on October 3rd. The 18 wheeler shook from a sudden shock; and the driver; Larry; awoke thinking their was a quake and noting that it was 4 AM. He slipped on his pants and glasses; thinking he would check his rig. Glancing out his rear-view passenger side mirror; he saw a giant Kodiak size bear (only small blacks in that area) rock his trailer again; harder this time...a big jerk and bump; lit by his trailer rig running lights. As it was one of the longer trailers; 52 feet; and loaded with rug padding; he thought the creature must be extremely strong; and thought it would actually push the trailer over. It scared him to death; Arleene said; and he started the truck and turned on the headlights; with the intention of leaving; as it had started; "rocking like you wouldn't believe." The thing ran in front of the cab then; and he got a good look at the creature on two legs. It was dark brown; and very close. He thought it might be taller than his 6'1"; and looked for all the world like an enormous bear. Arleene; familiar with the area as she has a sister that lives in Fortuna; said that the heavily forested area was thick with deer. Arlene had been in the area in 1988 when Hy. 101 was closed due to a large herd of elk milling on and around the highway. Her husband Oscar; estimated that there were 200 elk in the herd.

Sighting Text:
CA HUMBOLDT 1995 TR94 * Peter Byrne report, peterbyrne@aol.com Dear Mr. Byrne, Somehow I feel that I know you as I have seen you on TV on several occasions and have seen you referenced in books and have read one of your books at least twice. Needless to say, I am fascinated with Bigfoot. I am a geologist and an engineer by degree, though I think my real expertise is in biology. I grew up in the wilderness of the Black Hills of South Dakota. I am very familiar with all sorts of animals and have spent endless hours following their tracks and camping in the woods. I am also a former infantry sergeant. My twin brother shares my passion with biology and with Bigfoot and he accompanied me to Bluff Creek one week probably 5 years ago. We had to move rocks off the road so we were very sure no one used the road in months. It was our second trip there but this time it was different. On one occasion we smelled something that was similar to a skunk but more rotten smelling than that. We found a giant pile of droppings that was impressive and not bear like. We went up the hill (I think it was Blue Mountain or Blue Ridge Mountain?). (EDITOR-BLUE CREEK MOUNTAIN) There was still some snow so we got out and walked along the paved road. We came across a set of deep prints in the snow which were melted and not good evidence. What amazed me about the footprints is that the stride was longer than I could possible duplicate even if I jumped from print to print. I know that someone who didn't see them would just say they were probably a rabbit or a fox jumping from track to track, but like I said, I spent countless hours following tracks in the snow and I don't believe that is what they were. I realize from reading your book that you too know tracks. Anyway, I understand that sort of evidence doesn't prove anything. The memorable part of that trip occurred later that night. We were probably two miles from Notice Creek , sleeping on the side of the road as there was no one there and we were not concerned about getting run over. Sometime around midnight, my brother started screaming. I jumped out of my sleeping bag just in time to see him jumping out of his bag. He grabbed his flashlight and shown it on a fleeing mouse as he exclaimed that the mouse bit him. I had a good laugh. As we went back to sleep, we laid there on the dirt road in the extremely quiet forest. As we laid there quietly for about a minute, we heard something walking up the road toward us. It will be extremely hard to do the sound of the footsteps justice. The thing coming at us seemed to be walking on two feet. I could hear features of each foot step. I could hear the rocks rolling under each foot as it placed it on the ground. With each step, I could hear the heel strike and the foot roll along. It sounded very large and it just seemed to be getting closer and closer and louder and louder, until I could take it no more. To describe the sound which was very easily heard, it was like a large tire was rolling on gravel at least as long as the foot touched the ground as it walked. I looked at the frightened look in my brothers face and realized he heard it too. I am somewhat ashamed to say that we got scared and jumped in the car. We did manage enough courage to use the headlights of our vehicle to look for the source of the sound. We did not see anything but we were seriously spooked and decided to move our campsite up the hill toward the main road. We didn't tell anyone (except a couple of friends) the story as there really was no evidence for what happened. When I did talk about it, I always described the sound of the foot rolling along. We did not notice any odor. Lately I have renewed my study of Bigfoot and have given that encounter a lot of thought. I realize now and am sure that you are aware that Bigfoot footprints reveal that the animal has a very flexible foot. That really made sense to me as I relate the flexible foot with the sound of the footsteps we heard. The double ball, it seems to me is another joint of the foot which we don't have. Our foot is rigid and because our arch keeps that part of the foot off the ground, there is no need for us to have a ball there. I have read that Bigfoot has a flexible foot but I never read anything giving the reason for the double ball. It is probably somewhat obvious but it seems that the flat feet and double ball are an adaptation to great weight. I hope that conclusion was not too obvious. Anyway, I wish you good luck in your continued search.

The couple never specified what campground this all occurred at, so with some diligence, I was able to find the exact location; between camps #26 and 27 at Ackerman Nat. Recreation Area Campground, Shasta Trinity NF, CA. It certainly is good country and I spent Christmas there and was able to take some site measurements. My only question is how tall the witness is, Mr. Stefan James. The other photo is the man who saw photographs of Bigfoot tracks in 1957, before the 1958 commotion in Bluff Creek. John Green mistakenly labeled those tracks 1947, yet an afternoon spent with the witness (taped interview) on Dec. 26 cleared up discrepancies. I have just received word that Roger Patterson’s original movie is in “good” condition.

Sighting Text:
CA HUMBOLDT 1999 TR96 In Oct ‘99, Victor BASTULLI visited the Bluff Creek area, CA, stopping at Notice Ck and Louse Creek. Near Weitchpec, along the Klamath River he noticed rock cairns, a 100# rock on the bottom, and three smaller ones on top (the last one a pebble) ...the top had an acorn, as if bait for something. This was on a flat topped hill, 25-40 ft high. Along the Klamath River there, he saw and video taped (plus the cairns) tracks of two creatures, 12” and 9”, the stride about 56”. He was impressed with the length of the toes, longer than human, and way out of proportion to our own.

When I was 8 years old we were in Calif. in Redwoods forest. Mom slowed the car and pointed out a sign that said; "Caution - Bigfoot Crossing;" with a giant monkey painted underneath. All at once; she froze up; coasting to a stop when she took her foot off the gas pedal. She pointed a shaky finger toward the left; and I and my 4 year old brother looked. Standing off to the side between two trees was one of the biggest; hairiest thing I'd ever seen in my life. this was no monkey. My brother began to scream and that put mom in gear; and she poured on the gas,

He and his girlfriend heard noises on retiring...rocks pounded on trees, a large branch broken from a tree, and footsteps approaching the camp. The “soft” heavy footfalls came right up to the tent, and they could see the outline against the tent wall from the fire in the background where the creature was sneaking to look at the four companions around the fire. They saw and heard nothing. There appeared to be three of the creatures, and they communicated with a coughing noise. The next day there was hair on the trees, but he didn’t collect any.

CA INYO 1970 TR#87 37 21N 118 23W 4147 FT * Near Bishop CA, off Hy. 395, Summer of 1970. Witness was 12 years old and on Deadman’s Creek with a friend and was on an outing with a conservation club. BJ, walking with his friend up the creek for five miles to go fishing, in the mid-afternoon, they had the feeling of being watched. By late afternoon there were none of the usual forest sounds such as birds and such, so they started their return to the camp, when a storm caught them, a bolt of lightning striking near the creek a ways away. Then they heard growling or grunting from the area of the strike, and branches in the brush were heard breaking from apparently high in the trees, the sounds moving away from them. The pine tree dead branches started about six feet up. There was no bad odor, and shortly whatever it was had moved out of hearing distance. Nothing conclusive was actually seen, but a large shadow was noted moving through the forest, but only briefly. Due to a lightning fire the camp was evacuated by the Forest Service, so the area was not searched for tracks.

The dog took off after whatever it was and didn't come back for some time, and then covered with sweat after chasing in the brush. They did find some large tracks in the grass, but they weren't well defined. There were no screaming noises heard.

Summary: ROASTING HOT DOGS BRINGS 17 FT TALL BF, DOG SCARED

Sighting Text:
CA TR21 In the 1960's and 70's and into the 80's we of the C.B.F.O. investigated quite a few cases where the persons out camping were roasting "hot dogs" over an open fire, and they had one, and up to three encounters with BF. In fact, we (Rich Grumley, Floyd Smith-first VP of the CBFO, and another researcher) were roasting hot dogs (Farmer John Hickory smoked Links) over a camp fire when I had my first encounter with BF under a grove of cottonwood trees SE of the little town of Weldon, (halfway between Lake Isabella and China Lake, Ca., app. 1971 or 1972). Well the "creature" was approximately seventeen feet in height (stood directly underneath a branch that was measured...the thing was slightly taller), had a head that was set on massive shoulders, no neck noted, the chest area was about 8 or 10 feet wide, and the "legs were bigger around than my pudgy little body." The creature left no tracks because he was standing in heavy mulch under this grove of trees when I saw him around midnight or l AM. I didn't even get a good look with lights, and our cameras were all locked up in the trunk of Floyd's car and he and the other researcher had taken a walk down a dirt road in the middle of the night with the lights to look for Bigfoot tracks! The only intelligent one in our group was Floyd's 75# German Shepard and she was scared sh*tting, having earlier in the evening jumped into the back seat of the car and defied all attempts to drag her out. Rich believes he witnessed the genuine article...Bigfoot. Rich Grumley, 9/20/92.

* (PB LETTER) Mark Burkey, Notes from letter of Oct 13, 1976: We have a lot of trees, mountains, and brushy areas (around Bodfish, CA). It all happened one night when a guy came home around 11:00 pm. He drove up to his house and looked around, as he thought he hit a skunk, and walked over to the garbage can and there it was. He says it was about 8 ft. tall and around 500#. It walked up right over to a girls house where she screamed and the guy ran over there with a . 22 rifle and shot about 10 shots into his chest. He said it didn't even hurt him. He said it wasn't a bear or anything like that, because the forest (service) moved almost all the bears into the mountains.

Sighting Text:
CA TR21 Sounds like an unconfirmed story that was supposed to have happened in the mid 70's near the small town of Weldon, Ca. Again where a full grown beef steer was found hanging in the crotch of a tree twelve feet above the ground. The footprints reported to have been found where the steer was hanging were said to be well in excess of 21 inches, but no one got an accurate estimate of the length or width of those tracks, and we of the C.B.F.D. didn't hear of it until the late 70's or early 80's. The steers neck was said to be broken and the neck area was said to have been eaten on a little bit, but other than that, no other outward signs of damage was reported about this steer.

He was returning to his hunting camp at Bridge Creek. Creature was about 100 yards distant in a clearing between Pittville Road and the fir or pine tree line, and was a medium to light brown color. It was about 8 feet tall, and walking rapidly away from the witness. It did look back at him over it’s left shoulder. It had long arms that swung more than a man’s would. Bridge creek widens to a swampy area close by. Tracks were not found in the rocky area the next morning.

CA LASSEN 1980’S 40 29N 121 12W TR#91 * Bobbie Short report, sierra@n2.net Caribou Wilderness, CA, late 1980’s. I am a smoke jumper for the U.S. Forest Service. In the late 1980’s I jumped a fire with two others in the Caribou Wilderness, just a few miles north of Dave’s area, in the Red Cinder Peak area, CA. It was a single tree lightning fire and very little ground fire. We fell the tree and put out the fire without any difficulty. We made camp next to the burned area with the campfire inside the burned area. I awoke in the early hours, just before dawn when I heard a rustling in the brush. At first I thought it was one of the others, but when I looked they were both asleep in their bags. We normally do not see wildlife around fires, the noise and commotion seems to keep them away. Since our campfire had long burned out and we were asleep I thought it might be some animal coming to investigate. We are pretty careful about our trash and waste, anything that cannot be burned is packed out. We don’t want to be responsible for something getting addicted to human food. So I grabbed a headlamp ( a flashlight that attaches to a hard hat ) and shone it towards the bushes to scare it away. The first thing I noticed was the yellow eyes shining back at me about 50 feet away from a clump of small trees. The eyes seemed to be 8 feet or so above the ground with a large dark shape below it. My first impression was a bear standing on its rear legs, so I grabbed a stick and threw it at the animal while yelling, “go away!” The animal turned and ran off downhill. As it ran I saw it was moving upright, like a person, with its arms swinging at its side. Bears will stand on their rear legs, but can’t run or walk like that. About 150 feet or so downhill it stopped, raised its hand and pushed a tree branch aside, turned around and looked back at me. It was still upright. The other two were awake now and looked where I was shining my light. One of them asked “A bear?” I mumbled something like, “Ya, a bear.” Then whatever it was turned, ran off and disappeared. I said, “Go back to sleep. I’ll rebuild the fire to keep it away.” They went back to sleep. I built a large fire, and walked around the perimeter of our camp gathering wood. I kept shining my light around but I never saw it come back. In the daylight I checked the ground where I first saw it. The ground litter was visibly disturbed, but I couldn’t make out any footprints. About noon we packed our gear and started to the trailhead to get picked up. While hiking I kept turning and looking around but never saw anything. The others kept kidding me about being stalked by a bear. To this day I am convinced it was not a bear. I have never seen a bear act like that, or walk/run on two legs. Over the years other smoke jumpers and helitack crews have told me they have seen something big that was not a bear, but they go unreported. Things like that can affect your career.

CA TR21 About 15 miles east of Acton, Ca., and 6 miles south of Palmdale, Fred K. has a place in the mountains that he works from time to time, and he had a lady working with him about 4-5 years ago that said she had 3 or 4 close encounters with BF. In this same area, there is a tree with its top portion cut or broken off and turned upside down with the roots sticking up in the air. This tree, or what's left of it, is about 25-30 feet long and it is upside down on a ridge where as far as can be determined, there has never been any sort of logging, and this tree is very old. It is approximately 6-8 feet in diameter and weighs an estimated 8-9 tons! If one of our big hairy friends turned it upside down and left it as a marker of some sort, I hope and pray to God that I don't ever meet him or it. I cannot even begin to imagine what kind of strength it would require to up-end that tree. Rich Grumley 9/20/92, Director, C.B.F.O.*

Summary: HUMANS KILLED BY BF, TORN UP CAMPGROUND, TRASH CONTAINER TURNED OVER

Sighting Text:
CA Inyo CO TR21 Humans killed by BF * Report from Rich Grumley, Director, Calif. Bigfoot Organization. In 1980/1981, I was working as a security guard on a high tension tower project here in Ca. I met a man who was a "cat skinner" operating a bulldozer, leveling off the pads where each of these high tension towers was to go. I noted on his pickup truck 25-30 decals of places he had been hunting and introduced myself. In conversation I mentioned Bigfoot and he told me, "about the mid to late 1970's he was doing a little poaching (with the Forestry Official's permission in a locked and gated area near Bishop, Ca., they had given him a key so he could go in any time he wanted)." This particular time the gate was still locked (as it always was), he let himself in with his 4-wheel drive pickup to the area known as Four Points. He drove over a hill and there to his surprise were Department of the Interior and Bureau of land Management men all in their "Smokey The Bear" outfits with guns searching a campground, the hills, mountains, roads, etc. They grabbed this hunter, took his deer rifle away from him and questioned him for 7-8 hours as to what he was doing there. The local forestry officials identified him as a trusted friend and he was let go, but told to "never come back." He had determined during his interrogation that the reason the BLM and DI were there in force was that a Bigfoot creature had gone through there the day before and had torn up the campground; had turned over a "large" trash container (of the type you find behind large department stores), that no man can even begin to move, and had killed several people. Over the years passed the story to several, in fact, "quite a few" Bigfoot researchers, but "no one" was able to come up with one single "clue." Then in early to middle 1991, a young attorney by the name of Matt M., who is also interested in investigating the Bigfoot mystery, called the C.B.F.O.'s hotline (800) 800-1950, to tell me that he had heard that story several years ago and it had "always" stuck with him. When he was doing some BF research in the Bishop, Ca., area in 1989-90 he met a former policeman who said that he was on the Bishop police Force in the mid to late 1970's. Matt related the foregoing story of Bigfoot to the ex-police officer of Bishop, and he confirmed it! He told Matt that the story was the talk of "all" of the law enforcement agencies in that area at the time, but that they were under very tight security to not say anything about the incident and -the related deaths.

"The sighting lasted a few minutes...I watched the Bigfoot reach his arms into a rectangular shaped translucent window-ish space in the air. He grabbed hold of two large brown arms; his were black. He seemed to be pulling on the large brown arms and they seemed to be pulling back. This went on back and forth for a minute or two until the black one stopped pulling and the window-ish rectangle; which was about a foot off the ground; disappeared. Has anyone else seen this window-ish thing?

CA, * Investigator (??) John C. tells of report for Angeles Crest NF; at Wild Springs Campsite; Nov. 12th; 1994. A family with seven people saw three Bigfeet on a trail near camp. The creatures walked by in broad daylight; 2:30 PM; near a small stream in heavy pine forest with big rocks and bushes. The two families stared at each other; the creatures just kept on walking. John Schmoker; wife Elaine; son Steve; his girlfriend; his daughter and her friends all witnessed the creatures. The male; estimated at 15 feet was black; gray; and light brown; as was the female. The 10-11 foot female; was described as broad shouldered; while the male was slender. Both looked almost human. A juvenile was only about four foot tall; and had light brown fur. The sighting lasted for about two minutes; there were no tracks seen but broken branches were found on some trees at a height of nine feet.. A snapshot had the possible back of one of their heads. They said the camera was ready; but they didn't think to shoot a picture until the Bigfoot family was almost gone.,

CA, * Nancy Logan; author of the Bigfoot book; "Children Of A Lost Spirit;" (excellent fiction tale of BF in Washington- copies available at $10.00+2.00 post and handling) sent in a clipping from a Los Angeles Japanese language newspaper; "Bridge USA;" June 1; 1994. She is a translator and the clip about the Angeles National Forest reads: The Mountains Where Yeti Shows Up. The "Yeti" shows up in Los Angeles; too! The spot is in the San Gabriel Mountains at Big Rock Canyon. Way back in 1876 there were sightings; and almost every year in the 1960's and 1970's there were also sightings. Quite recently he has been frequenting Devil's Punchbowl County Park; which is near Big Rock Canyon; and also has been frequenting Buena Park; which is 40 miles south of there. In America the Yeti is called "Bigfoot;" and the Yeti that frequents Buena Park; in particular; is called "Buena Foot." How about you? Why not go and have a look around for Buena Foot? Big Rock Canyon from Pearblossom is about 8 miles SE of Big Rock Creek road. Buena Park is in the Coyote Creek Flood Channel; an area north of Franklin between Kingman and Fullerton., ,

CA MADERA 1999 TR93 BFRO* S.L. on Oct. 17 and 25, 1999, was in North Fork, Madera Co., CA, 11 miles from Oakhurst, and one mile on road 221, and off on road 200. This is about 25 miles from the south entrance to Yosemite NP. On the morning of the 17th witness and brother heard dogs barking where they live in a rural area on five acres of land in North Fork. The apparent pack of running dogs set all the other neighbor dogs to barking. Then there was loud screaming like witness had never heard before. It continued for a half hour, very loud and scary...like it was trapped and yelling for its life. Then it went silent, including the barking. Five minutes later it started from a closer position, having moved from southwest to west of them, only two dogs having followed it this time. The screaming continued for another five minutes from the manzanita and oak area, then stopped, and was not heard again. On the morning of Oct 25 witness and brother were near their mobile home and saw very large tracks of the Bigfoot creature as they passed in front of the mobile home and up a dirt path, then up a gravel road in front of the home towards my brother John’s dogs, five Siberian huskies...they never did bark that they knew of, nor when the creature was previously screaming. The tracks were 10-11 inches long with five toes, the middle toe being 1-2 inches longer than the rest, and impressed a half to an inch-and-a-half in the ground. The foot pad was round or oval and did not look human. There were no claw marks. The tracks were neither bear nor mountain lion.

CA CALAVARAS 1885 TR89 * The Giants of Yosemite Valley, California July 14 posting of Bobbie Short. sierra@n2.net Here is another piece of history for the perusal of you who collect this sort of thing. This time a piece of history from California's great Yosemite Valley which may or may not be related but certainly provokes thought. The year, 1885. In California's great Yosemite Valley under the misty expanse near Bridal-Veil Falls, a party of silver and wannabee gold miners discovered what was to become the mystery of the decade. While having lunch, Mr. G. F. Martindale who was in charge of a party of miners, noticed a pile of stones that was placed against the wall of a cliff. Seasoned miners, they were familiar with the natural formation of rock, this particular grouping struck Mr. Martindale as being unusual and seemed not to have been placed naturally. Realizing that if something in the wild is not placed naturally, he could only conclude human hands placed it there. The miners set about removing the pile of stones. Behind the pile of stones they found a wall of rock that had been shaped and joined together with knowledgeable masonry. The joints between the rocks were all of uniform 1/8 of an inch in thickness and according to the reports from the men who were there, it was a beautiful job of stone work. "As pretty as any wall on any building that I have ever seen," is the way one miner described it. Thinking that they had perhaps stumbled upon some lost treasure, the party of miners proceeded without delay and issuing great haste began tearing down the wall to get to the incredible riches that surely must lie within. Disappointment fell a heavy weight upon their heads as, in the end, they found the vault empty save a very large mummified corpse that lay on the ledge, which was carved from the natural stone for the express purpose of burial. Lighting their carbide headlamps they set about examining the vault to see if perhaps they had overlooked something, perhaps a map or some other clue to where the inevitable treasure might be hidden. Treasure of course being far more interesting than the fossil bones of a giant mummy. What they found was another vault that had been carved from natural rock - 9 feet 3 inches high, 18 feet 6 inches deep and 8 feet 4 inches wide - containing a tall mummified corpse that was 6 feet 8 inches tall. The corpse was wrapped in what appeared to be animal skins and covered with a layer of fine gray powder. The miners removed parts of the animal skins to view the corpse and found it to be that of a woman holding a child to her breast. The mummy was then taken to Los Angeles where it was placed before men, considered to be of great science in those days, most of whom agreed that is was a "relic" from a race that must have inhabited this country long before the American Indian. Tall people, they claimed, from a race which preceded the coastal natives? All agreed that the height of 6 feet 8 inches tall in death must have represented an actual height in life of about seven or more feet. If their height relationship between men and women was approximately what it is today, then they concluded the males of the species could possibly have been some eight feet tall. The most popular theory of the day was that the lady was a relic of some royal family of a lost Stone Age tribe of giants. Interestingly enough, Captains Cooke and Magellan both wrote in their ship's logs of a race of giants that inhabited what we now know as the Pacific coast of South America. Cooke was even supposed to have captured one of the giants reported to be nine feet tall. Unfortunately, the giant escaped by breaking the ropes that bound him to the mast and jumped off the ship, overboard into the sea. In an additional excerpt, Capt. Cooke wrote in his log that he was himself was 6 feet 3 inches tall, (which was very tall for those days when the average was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and under) and he could easily stand under the arm of the giant. Cooke's report started a furor that was to last another 100 years and cause many to seek these giant people. In the next century, many reports were filed stating that various of our major explorers had sighted the giants of what was then called Patagonia - but none had contact or for that matter even attempted to capture one of the giant men. Then suddenly, around the year 1650, the reports of sighting giants stopped abruptly. Perhaps the giants moved inland, perhaps because they moved far away. They couldn't have just vanished. They could have simply become unpopular attractions and thus slipped gradually into oblivion. The fact remains that once up a time, they were there. The Yosemite Valley, where the mummy was found has always been considered to be a place of great mystery by the Indians who lived there, the Ahwahneechees. The folklore of the Ahwahneechees relates a story of a giant who came into the valley long before the white man arrived. The giant's name was Oo-el-en.They were vicious giants for they liked to eat the meat of the Indians. Oo-el-en would catch the adults and carry them away to a hiding place near the foot of Cascade Falls. Oo-el-en would then cut the people into small pieces, hanging their meat in the sun to dry into jerky. The legend says that the Ahwahneechees finally killed the giants and burned their bodies. This rules out the possibility that the giant mummy of the Yosemite Valley might have been Oo-el-en. However, if there was a giant, where did he come from and was there more than one of her kind. We may never know - sadly, all the Ahwahneechees are dead, the last having died in 1947. The one thing the Ahwahneechees did leave was a written record of their long and complex burial rites. These Indians usually burned their dead - as they believed that by doing so they released the spirit of the deceased more quickly, so as to escape the evil spirits that lie in wait to grab it. The important part of the ritual in relationship to the mummy of the Yosemite Valley was that they always wrapped their dead in skins of animals before they were burned. If you recall, the mummy of the Yosemite Valley was wrapped in the skins of animals and covered with a fine gray powder. Ashes, perhaps? The learned scientist of that time, July of 1895, all agreed that the mummy predated the Christian era. It is therefore doubtful that the mummy was in any way connected with the Indians, as they were believed to have settled in the Yosemite Valley about 800 to 1000 years ago. It is important to note at this point that the Ahwahneechees were also very small people, most being less than 5 feet 3 inches tall. However, there have been traces of a much earlier people that have inhabited the Southwest. This fact was pointed out dramatically in 1866 by a miner name Mattison. No real discoveries have been made since that time by anyone other than qualified archaeologists, because it was about that time the advent of mechanized mining began. Mattison, from Angels Camp, California, found a skull almost 130 feet underground in the underground shaft of his mine in Calavaras County, CA. The discovery shook the foundations of the Genesis itself. What intrigued Mr. Mattison was why an Indian would dig a grave that deep in the ground when most were buried at about 6 feet. He knew the skull belonged to a very old Indian because it was fossilized and encrusted with the same kind of gravel distinctive to the earth in the mine shaft. He took it to one of the bars in Angels Camp on his next trip to town. There, he came across a doctor who told Mattison that if it was an Indian, it was a deformed one. The doctor pointed out the heavy to thick brow ridge which ran across the eyes and nose - he pointed several other differences in the cranium between this and other Indian skulls of more contemporary period which were occasionally dug up around those mining camps. The unknown doctor prevailed upon Mattison to report the find to Mr. J. D. Whitney, a geologist, and when shown the gravel-encrusted skull, he checked it with the gravel in its burial place and found the two to match. The skull had been found under four strata of lava and three strata of gold-bearing gravel. Thus Whitney reported it probably had been buried near the end of the Pliocene Era - a million years earlier. Was it a human skull or was it the skull of some man-like creature that walked the California soil a million years ago? Indian lore teaches us that there were creatures that ruled here long before the Indians came. According to some, they are still here, unseen by all but a few who have been lucky enough to spot a Bigfoot or a Sasquatch, or in other countries, a Yeti, a Nguoi Rung, a Chinese Yeh-ren or the Kapre and so forth. Was the Ahwahneechee Giant of Yosemite Valley related to a Sasquatch? If you recall, the mummy found in Yosemite was 6 foot 8 inches tall, which represented a height in life of close to seven feet. Was the mummy a Sasquatch, or are the Sasquatches the evolved ancestors or mutated ancestors of the mummy of the Yosemite Valley. Perhaps a hybrid? Was the skull found in Calavaras County the forerunner of both of these species, one which vanished completely and the other forced to go back into the ancient ways of the forest hiding forever from Man? The facts are there and they are undeniable. The conclusions are and must always be yours. I am still in the process of researching Calavaras County files and newspaper archives for a better description of the skull. If anyone has any information related to these events or newspaper clippings or other archival resources for the Ahwahneechees or historic Angel's Camp, California [other than the internet] I would appreciate hearing from you.

* Mike Stevenson interview: My neighbor was living in Yosemite National park and working there. one night (July 4th, 1978) I had some friends over to party and have some fun. All of them had left except this gal, and I asked her to help take empty cans out back. I was going to go around and scare her, she came flying back around as if she saw a ghost. “There's something back there...a bear or something, it's huge.” I thought it was a bear and went to look. next thing I know this thing is standing in front of me...it was big...big, the snow was hanging like icicles allover it. It looked at me, and I ran so fast I left it in my dust. I went flying around the corner taking her with me. When in the cabin, this thing started to shake the whole cabin for about 1 or 2 minutes, and it finally went away after that. It was 8 to 10 feet tall, dark colored.

The noise was not coming near me, and witness could hear barking dogs in pursuit, a quick time CRASH, CRASH, CRASH, CRASH sound being made. After 30 seconds the crashing noise stopped, and the dog barked a few more times, and then made that sound that dogs make when injured. There was no more noise that night.

It was from a distance (200 - 300 yards), the younger ones came up to the shoulder of the adult. They were walking in single file, upright, with a "human" type stance and build. I went down to were I saw them, and found a trail going down a very steep ravine. I started down the trail, then noticed that the vegetation was starting to look trampled down (like when you get close, 20 - 30 feet, from a bear den). At that time turned around and got out as fast as I could. I never went back since there was no way you could do so safely, without a firearm.

Bragg, CA. “A bunch of Mexican loggers were attacked by a Bigfoot out in the woods three days ago (May 7th). It came screaming out of the brush and the Mexicans thought it wanted their lunches, but they were sorely mistaken, they threw all of their beans and tacos at the beast - it threw everything right back at them, screaming and roaring at the top of its voice, it was a vicious beast and attacked with no mercy. It threw Mexicans over the bank and broke arms and legs. One Mexican ran for help and found the Georgia Pacific helicopter and pilot. They both went back to find the wounded Mexicans, and saw the creature running up a skid-road. The pilot said it would weigh at least 500 to 800 pounds, and would stand approximately 8 feet tall. They found tracks everywhere and made several plaster of Paris castings. I will send you the article about the entire incident. The Bigfoot population is growing by leaps and bounds; the Mendocino County Agricultural Department estimates that there are about 70 Bigfeet in Mendocino County alone, and they are warning people to stay out of the woods until the beasts are eliminated. Tell all of your friends about this. I am going to get an article in the Anderson Valley Advertiser. I know the owner of the paper and he will write anything that I tell him.” Ray Wallace adds, “The Mexicans had been shooting at the females and their young ones with a shotgun loaded with bird shot to scare them away from where they were picking huckleberry greenery, so the old male attacked the Mexicans.

Sighting Text:
CA MENDOCINO 1997 TR#74 (This is a letter Ray Wallace received and is sharing with us, no date-last year Ray says, from Dennis McMahon, Fort Bragg, CA) Ray, there was another Bigfoot attack on the herd of sea lions that inhabit the Noyo River Basin (AT FORT BRAGG). Four tourists who were eye witness’ to the attack told the public that a giant black beast standing approximately 8 feet tall came running out of the brush just up the river from the harbor. They said that there was a pod of sea lions on the bank sunning themselves and the big black creature attacked without warning. They said that he grabbed a 400 pound cow by the tail and threw her 300 feet across the river into the brush. Then they said that a giant bull weighting about 900 pounds roared and charged the Bigfoot and the battle began. The sea lion, mad about the cow being injured, bit the big black creature on the leg and shook mightily to tear it off. But the Bigfoot fought back, pounding the sea lion on the head with thundering blows from his mighty hands. They said that the sea lion put up a tremendous fight, but didn’t have a chance against such a powerful creature as they were watching. They told everyone that the Bigfoot killed him with just four blows that crushed the sea lions head just like an egg shell. Then they said, it picked the dead sea lion up and threw it over his shoulder and disappeared into the woods. They did say that they saw blood pouring from the Bigfoot’s leg which meant that the sea lion had severely injured the creature. They couldn’t tell if the leg was broke or not, but felt it was because of the tremendous amount of blood that was lost. There was blood everywhere they said. There is a hunting party that is assembling to try to track down this beast and capture him while he is wounded. I believe that they are from Japan and they were going to go after him on 11/6/97 and bring him back. Their hunting party won’t give any interviews to the newspapers. They are being silent about it and won’t say one word. I will keep you informed on this important story. It is the first time that a Bigfoot has been injured that we know of. Blood samples were taken by the Japanese Dept. of Wild Life. They refer to the creature as Woo. They feel that there is a mate and baby that belongs to the big male and they intend to catch them also. Well, Ray I will close for now and I will write again just as soon as I find out more information. (editor - don’t know where Noyo River is (Japan?), please let us know when you hear from Dennis again...I can hardly wait.)

CA COUNTY 1995 TR#70 Ron Morehead of Port Angeles, WA, told of Peter Byrne’s sending journalist Allan Berry to the Sierras between Yosemite and Lake Tahoe to investigate a Bigfoot report. Ron and Al Berry are marketing the results of that investigation, “The Bigfoot Recordings-A True High Sierra Wild- erness Story,” that has actual Bigfoot sounds that were recorded at the time. (Ron has left several of the CD’s and cassettes with the WBS to sell-write, call, email; $15.98 and $10.98, $3.00 post and handle.) *** Ron Morehead also said he was in the area of the sounds as recently as two years ago, and his daughter had a sighting of the creature at that time.

Sighting Text:
CA COUNTY 1996 TR98 * Allen, central Calif. foothills. Told of an older guy that had taken him in the field in 1996 (the older fellow had apparently seen creatures four times). At Sunup they saw 400 yards away, a creature on a ridge. It was visible for 30 minutes, and eventually came straight at them. The black creature when 100 yards away looked like a large 8 foot man-like person. Reddish orange in color around the eyes, like a mask. Everything else was shiny black fur, even the hands were hair covered. Weight about 5-600 pounds, very weary, didn’t realize they were there, and when it did see them, rapidly disappeared behind a pine tree.

State that they find a dead dog along the side of the road. The dog was apparently torn open at the stomach, w/intestines exposed. The boys get out of the car, are examining the dog, and one of the boys pokes at the dog with a stick. Immediately a huge "werewolf" looking creature screams at them and runs towards them. Boys pile into the car and peel out to avoid creature. One boy states that the creature is pursuing them and is able to run as fast as 35 mph. It is running on 2 legs, hair covered, 1 boy claims the creature has ears that are visible on sides of it's head. They are able to accelerate to a higher speed and outdistance the creature. (This report is very odd, but is well documented. The person who interviews boys is very credible, but boys decline further interviews).

CA NEVADA 1982 TR#71 * Jamie A Guzman talked to Bob, in his houndsman club (runs dogs), who said when he lived by Grass Valley, CA, he had gone hunting at Stud Horse Canyon at night 15 years ago. He had five good dogs and he was hunting cougar at night. The dogs picked up a scent and took off, about 300 yards in front of him, baying as they tracked the creature. When their voices changed, he knew the hounds had cornered something. All of a sudden there was silence, and he heard the most ungodly very long deep scream that he had ever heard. The dogs came back whining with their tails between their legs, thoroughly scared, as was Bob. Whatever it was, he didn’t want to fool with it, and he went up a tree, dropped his flashlight, but stayed in the tree for four hours. Eventually he heard the dogs stirring and came down, heading directly for his truck, and hasn’t gone hunting for the next two years.

CA, * Credit Mike Phillips; America Online; No date for incident. I was canoeing with friends (Andy B.) near Boca Reservoir on the NV-Cal border when we saw long; skinny footprints ( four toes - one big and three little; longer than a size 13) in the mud and followed them until we found a five foot wide creek that the thing had stutter-stepped over and landed on two feet. The footprints were twice as deep as mine; I weigh 180 pounds. It walked with a long stride; the biggest member in our camp (6'2") could not match it. On the other side of the creek you could see where it slipped a little; picked up its pace; and ventured into the forest. Two hours later we heard some kind of animal screams in the night. There was also a stink that I can only describe as...animal. My friend thought it smelled like a wet dog., inches 6.05.14.52.31.30.70.40.40.61.83.95.232.1 Truckee F 27.029.833.339.046.954.761.260.354.346.035.227.943.0,

She is a translator and the clip about the Angeles National Forest reads: The Mountains Where Yeti Shows Up. The "Yeti" shows up in Los Angeles; too! The spot is in the San Gabriel Mountains at Big Rock Canyon. Way back in 1876 there were sightings; and almost every year in the 1960's and 1970's there were also sightings. Quite recently he has been frequenting Devil's Punchbowl County Park; which is near Big Rock Canyon; and also has been frequenting Buena Park; which is 40 miles south of there. In America the Yeti is called "Bigfoot;" and the Yeti that frequents Buena Park; in particular; is called "Buena Foot." How about you? Why not go and have a look around for Buena Foot?

Sighting Text:
CA PLUMAS 1940 TR95 6000FT 40 02N 12045W * From: Archery7 Date: 28-Jan-00 As I have stated before, the Native Americans in the Butte and Plumas County area refer to Big Foot as The Wild Man. The Genesee Valley, CA, is now covered by homes and above the valley, a very large Lake. But in 1940 It was a very wild and desolate area in the Sierras, at approx. 6000 feet. with nothing but old Indian Trails and very old logging skid roads, mostly overgrown. In 1940 a Native American in his 40's and his 14 year old son (Both Locals) were deer hunting in the Genesee Valley. It was early morning, just after sun up. The young boy, standing a short way from his father saw and shot a 3 or 4 point Buck with his 30-30. (Back East I think a 6 or 8 Point) The deer went down. Was laying just out side the high timber line. The father then joined the son, and they began to walk the 50 yards to the downed buck. They had not walked but a few yards in the tall grass and knee high low growth brush. When they heard a noise in the timber. They stopped and looked in the direction of the sound of breaking limbs. From out of the timber and in no apparent hurry, walked a very large and unknown creature. Described as 7 feet tall, covered with hair, brown in color. As it walked upright toward them the father raised his 30-30, aimed at the creature. Both the father and the son were terrified, thinking the creature was coming for them. The father was just about to shoot, the creature stopped, bent over, with one arm, picked up the deer, tossed it lightly over its shoulder settled it behind its neck, gave the two hunters a long look, then walked unhurried back into the timber with the deer and disappeared. The two hunters were very shaken, walked back to the center of the valley and squatted down, facing the area the creature had just vacated. The son, then asked his father, "What was it? What should we do?" The father replied in a very slow but deliberate voice, "Nothing, It was just a Wild Man!!!" The father has long since passed away, the son still lives somewhere in the Plumas or Sierra County area.

Guzman says in the 1971-72 seasons; he was and two companions were working for the Forest Service in the woods along Rice Creek; near Chester; CA.

He jumped in his truck and laid in a fetal position on the floor and didn't remember anything until his companions; Leroy and Wayne woke him. On the succeeding two days; the same thing happened to his two companions. He can't seem to explain his blacking out in the truck; except maybe from having seen something that scared him so bad (or a Pan reaction). * Jaime also mentions that a friend that runs dogs near Susanville; CA; had been having trouble with his dogs...something's in the woods that isn't natural; and is bothering them. Last year near Chester; a ridge away from the Guzman report; the 11 dogs were put on a fresh scent at 3 AM...something had just crossed the road.

CA TR22 La Port Mine * Jack Beelak of Westport, OR, was in the Sierras doing a clearing job for the Forest Service. He was 15-20 miles NW of the old 1850’s mining town of La Port (north of Reno, in CA), off a road leading to a fire lookout. He also recalled that there was a sign nearby marking the Cascade Crest Trail. It was July of 1976, clear, no moon, and the sun had set, but there was still a little light. Off to the east he could hear cattle settling down for the night. All of a sudden he heard the damndest loud yell…”cattle stampeded by us, tails in the air. I had the kids with me, and their eyes were like saucers. We were sleeping on the ground, and built a big fire. Some minutes later we heard the same noise again, only it was further east.” Two weeks later while watching the Six Million Dollar Man battle Bigfoot, the BF screamed when it tipped over a truck, and the yell was exactly the same. He wondered first where they had obtained the yell, and next if there was a film company where he had been camping, although he had looked around the next day and not found anything strange or out of place.

TR34* The Bigfoot Research Project sent in a news article from the Feb. 9 issue of the Feather River Bulletin, telling of a double Bigfoot sighting. About 5 miles east of Quincy, CA, Highway 70, in the Williams Loop area. Pat Farley and Jerry Paradiso saw on Feb. 3rd, about 12:15AM a hairy thing on the side of the road that darted across when they approached. It had a long gait and was sort of hunched over, man-sized, and the arms were swinging widely, no snout, rounded human-like head, and unusually hairy.

Sighting Text:
From: carenequiet@jps.net (Carene) Deer season...It's deer season again, in Calif. And I'm reminded of a sighting by a deer hunter that I thought was interesting. This was about 1996 in the Lake Allmanon area, Northern Calif. My husband and I had been camping near a beautiful little creek, we'd had our travel trailer there all summer. I remember while on a walk, counting 24 deer within a half mile of our site. I don't think I've ever seen so many deer in one area before, it was a quiet, wonderful spot. Then, bow hunting season opened. Within one day, we were converged upon by several vehicles with travel trailers, jeeps, etc. Our camping spot had turned into a "Hunter's Headquarters." I remember seeing the fellows go out before dawn each morning, cammo-colored vehicles and clothing, greasepaint on their faces, sitting on some type of platform apparatus on the back of their vehicles very serious hunters. The deer seemed to know they had come and left the area en masse. The hunters stayed a few weeks, some of them shot a deer, others weren't so lucky. My husband and I had become acquainted with the fellows camping closest to us. We would talk each day briefly about the hunt...if they had been successful or not. It occurred to me to ask the fellows if they had seen anything besides deer on their excursions as they went out religiously, every morning and late afternoon. One of the fellows told me that indeed, one of his comrades had told the group about seeing a very odd animal just the day before. Here's what he told me: The hunter encountered what he thought to be a young bear. His first glimpse of the animal was from behind it. It appeared the "bear" was squatting and defecating. He stood still, watching and waiting for the "bear" to move off. To his surprise, the animal stood up and walked away on two legs, like a man. It was black, covered with long hair, approx. 41/2 ft. tall with long arms swinging a bit at it's sides. The creature turned only slightly, apparently saw the hunter and continued on in unhurried fashion. What he initially thought was a "bear," could now only be described as a creature fitting the description of a "young Bigfoot." The story was told in a 1lighthearted manner, I suppose the man was fearful of sounding ridiculous to the other hunters. But my neighbor took his friend, and the account to be quite serious and truthful. (Enter: The curse of Bigfoot) -I was told that the hunter who had the sighting had just left that morning, but not to worry, as he was a regular and came back every year to the same hunting spot. I was given the exact location of the sighting, I made sure my husband listened as the location was given, so I would have his help in finding it. We gathered up our camp and headed home. We would stop by the location of the sighting on the way out, and I would collect a sample of the droppings for microscopic examination... My dear husband proceeded to drive right past the road to the location of the sighting. We had a very animated conversation ALL the way home as he finally conceded that he was NOT going to drive around the wilderness looking for a pile of... droppings. We haven't been back, I wonder sometimes if the hunter ever returned to hunt that area again Carene

CA PLUMAS 1996 TR93 4500FT 401510N 1210937W * Carene, Jan 17, 00. Weapons and clothing In answer to your question regarding weapons, I have one report of a forest service employee sighting a Bigfoot creature in the general area of Lake Almanor in Calif. This was about four years ago. I had opportunity to talk with him the day of the sighting. This lead to finding an interesting artifact that may be of interest. Michael states he had taken his sister's dog out for an outing, some swimming and exercise. He spotted a large black figure on the other side of a tributary of the lake. It had evidently stopped for a moment, then walked away from the area rather slowly. He describes the figure as having a rather large posterior, he thought at first it was possibly someone wearing a "fanny pack" or perhaps carrying a fishing creel resting on the lower back. Upon closer scrutiny he noted the height, very tall, approx. 7 ft. and the build massive, beyond human dimension. (he gave no estimate of the weight). What he at first thought was dark colored clothing was actually long black hair covering the entire body. He immediately realized he was not looking at a human, but rather a type of creature unknown to him. His first look at the figure was from a side view, straight across from him, (hence the emphasis on the profile) What he had first mistaken as the fanny pack, or creel, now appeared as part of the creature's body. He believes it to be female, his reason based on the size of the animals posterior, not visible breasts. ( sorry ladies, I couldn't possibly expand on this...!) He did not see the face in detail, only a quick glance, but watched the animal walk for a distance and then disappear into the brush. He states that he watched the animal for approx. 2-3 minutes and that it did not seem to be disturbed or in a hurry. He estimates that he was about 250 ft. from the animal, and that it was on a trail, in the open. He believes that the creature may have felt fairly safe because of the water separating them. The day after this sighting, this fellow took myself and a research assistant to the area. (He contacted me through his sister, who owned the dog and is a friend) With much trouble and quite a long walk, we crossed over to the other side of the tributary downstream, then walked upstream to the site where the animal was first seen standing. Following the direction that the creature walked, and approx. 200 yards from the spot where the creature was first seen, we found one large footprint in hard dusty dirt. The track was of the right foot, excellent condition. Upon additional inspection of the area, I found another at the water's edge in the grass and mud. There was a distance of approx. 6 ft. between the tracks. The footprints were approx. 18"x7" at the top, narrowing at the middle and heel. There was a barely visible and slightly elevated 'ridge' present, crossing the back part of the 1st track a few inches in front of the heel. Even though the ground was quite hard, there was enough loose dirt to define the 1st track quite well. Track was photographed. (The following day I returned again, with another research partner. and 2 large German Shepherd dogs for protection) We were hopeful of having a sighting, which did not happen. A cast was made, track was still in wonderful condition, photos were taken of track and casting process). (On first visit) On the ground in the general area where the creature had walked was also found one large, heavy, approx. 2 ft. long sharpened piece of wood. It resembled a very large heavy spear. Not a spear for throwing, but rather one that would be used as a hand held weapon. Although this was the impression that the item gave, I immediately realized that it would take a very large hand to wield a weapon of this size. The item was so unusual, I picked it up and took it home with me. Several theories were discussed on the way home, one theory that was speculated upon was that the creature could have used the item to spear salmon. This item was later examined by an archaeologist. The condensed report was: The "spear" was made of the hardest wood in the entire area, and it had been sharpened and used at one time as a fence post. Obviously the item had been much longer at one time. It was common for this type of wood to be used for this purpose some years back, within the last 50 years. The puzzling element of the condition of the item was that it appeared to have been broken off in a semi twisted fashion. Examiner determined that it would have taken something approx. equal to the strength of a small tractor to do this, and to pull the item out of the ground. There was no evidence of machine, or other type of marks on the item. The item was, and still remains puzzling. Found at another times, and place: but examined at the same time as the 'spear' were 3 approx. 6" - 7" pieces of rock. These were found by myself in another area where there was report of Bigfoot sighting. Report: All rocks were blunt at one end and appeared sharpened at the other. At the blunt end, the rocks fit easily into my hand, only one was too large to fit well. One of the objects had been burned in a fire. The angles in which the rocks had been possibly sharpened was consistent in all 3 items. These items resembled a hand held weapon, or perhaps a scraping tool, such as used by native Indian tribes. When asked if the items were possibly "manufactured" the archaeologist replied that ancient cultures did not always 'make' weapons or tools, but were able to easily recognize something that could be used as one. These items remain of unknown origin, but do not appear to be naturally occurring artifacts. Carene, Jan 17, Weapons and Clothing. Response... Do you have any pictures of the spear? No, but I still have the "spear", no problem to take a few. I also have one more artifact similar in length, it is much lighter and smaller in diameter, but is a sharper point. I know that this item does occur naturally in some type of evergreen trees, perhaps cedar. Still, it is a very interesting piece of wood, also found in an area with Sasquath reports. CARENE Have a report of a sighting in which a Sasquatch was high in a pine tree holding a very long piece of wood resembling a pole. Est. length was 6-7 ft. Only report I have of possible throwing of objects that I can think of right off is, report of a lady sitting outside in the forest in an area where Sasquatch sightings were reported. She was photographing wildlife. She suddenly had acorns begin to fall close, and all around her. She believes the acorns were tossed at her from several different directions. As she would turn to look in the direction from which one fell, another would fall next to her from a different direction. She did not see what or who 'tossed' the acorns. She was in a clearing, in a remote area. No trees above her, not squirrels, wind, etc. I had been going to a favorite spot for a few years, I knew the trail well and always looked for footprints. Oddly upon one of my return trips to the area I found a large rounded stone approx. the size of a volleyball in the middle of the trail. This rock had not been there previously. There is a tiny sharp point on the side of the rock. No logical reason for the rock being in the trail. It did not roll down a hill etc. I still have the rock. Carene, Jan 18, 2000. Throwing Objects. Did remember one report regarding a Sasquatch throwing objects. This is one of the more sensational that I have collected. Talking with a law enforcement officer, name and community respectfully withheld, Calif. Officer states that he was contacted by dispatcher, and directed to investigate report of a "man in a gorilla suit throwing large rocks down onto a highway", obstructing the roadway and a danger to motorists. According to information given him, more than one motorist reported sighting this occurrence. Officer states that he asked for a backup officer, as he really didn't know what he was going to encounter, but evidently there was no other officer available (especially for a report like this....) and the officer proceeded to the location alone. Upon arriving at the scene, officer describes finding several huge rocks on roadway. States that he had to move them by himself, and that there was "absolutely no way" a human could have picked up and thrown the 100lb+ rocks. States he was feeling quite uneasy and puzzled by the rocks located at the site. He moved them himself with great difficulty, pushing rocks to the side of roadway, as they were too large to lift. Officer did not see anything or anyone fitting the witness description of the "rock thrower". Does not believe these rocks 'fell' onto the roadway, as there was a lack of smaller rocks, dirt and gravel, weather conditions etc. States he believes that a Bigfoot threw the rocks onto the roadway.

CA PLUMAS 1998 TR#82 39 56N 120 56W * From the Internet. On Saturday, Oct. 17th, at about 9 PM, an incident occurred in the Plumas National Forest (Granite Basin), near Bucks Lake. This is near Quincy, CA. After dinner with a large fire to drive away the darkness, Andrew and Mark (who owns several mineral mines in the area) were talking and laughing, when all of a sudden Mark says to listen. There was this terrible repeating screeching sound that witness had heard on the Art Bell radio show...a sound that “I will never forget.” One time the soundchanged slightly and sounded like “someone strangling a cat.” This is an area of healthy forest with a lot of new growth, and well watered with many streams. Also the area is catacombed with several mines. Andrew and Mark are experienced woodsman and have been close to bears while backpacking in Yosemite park, and are familiar with wolf and coyote calls. They could not guess the distance but guessed at a couple of miles, but above the same basin where they were. It seemed as if the creature was aware of them, as when they started making noise, the screeching would resume if stopped. Witness eventually took a 12 gauge target/skeet shotgun and discharged it twice. This appeared to halt the screeching. They would not shoot the creature except with a camera. “Also noted, the night before early in the morning I heard what sounded like someone walking around our camp very softly and carefully. I did not even think about it at the time and it was too damn cold to even want to get out of my tent. No prints, smell, or any sighting was observed. Witness asked if anyone was out at the time and the answer was “no.” It was opening season for deer. The area was of thick forest among granite outcrops, with lots of mines around. Lots of logging roads gave access to the 6,000 foot, plus or minus a thousand foot area.

It was 1:00AM and snowing, and witness was in the forest with 6 inches of snow on the ground, just playing in the snow. Witnesses were shocked when a “man” in heavy snow gear appeared out of the forest and just stood in the middle of the road. It didn’t move, so they threw a snowball at it, and it still didn’t move, even after they yelled at it. Witnesses got scared and ran back to the hotel. Witness looked back when they were near the hotel, and it was gone. Described as 7 foot, 5-600 pounds, black/brown in color. It made no sound and there was no odor.

Summary: BOB FOREACRE DISAPPEARS, TRACKS SEEN

Sighting Text:
CA, San Diego area, TR25 Some months later (1970), back in the Los Angeles area, I (Jackson Moore) met Bob Foreacre, an ex-paratrooper and truck driver that was recovering from an on~the-job back injury. Bob was married and had two children that he thought the world of, taking them almost everywhere he went. One night Bob called me, and asked if I had seen the 1l PM news on the Bigfoot that had been sighted south of San Diego. I said no, that I hadn't and we talked for a few minutes more, and then hung up. But the next day, Bigfoot was all he wanted to talk about, and as we were fishing, it was hard for me to get away from the subject. Bob was the type of person that if he didn't see it for himself, it just didn't exist. His argument was like so many others: that it was all a hoax. At that time I still had most of my research material and when we got home I showed him all the data, but he was still a non-believer. He said, "since San Diego ain't that far away, why don't we go check it out?" So we did. Come the weekend and we were ready to go. We packed some cameras, plaster-of Paris and camping gear - and side arms only. We arrived in San Diego around 10:30AM on Saturday, and called the TV station to get the address of the people who had seen Bigfoot. It seems, that they had several inquiries on this, because the information was not long in coming. Then we drove out south southeast around 12 miles, following the directions we had been given, and found the place we were looking for. The folks we met had been given a bad time by most of their friends over this, and they were reluctant to discuss any of it. Bob and I convinced them that we only wanted to make some casts of the prints and shoot some pictures of whatever we had found. So it was late afternoon before we were shown where to find the tracks, some four miles away from their house. They had gone into this area to search for wood, when they had seen Bigfoot. By the time we found the place, and set up camp, it was too late to do anything, but cook a meal and call it a day. After eating, we sat around talking about what we would do when and if we found anything. Around 10PM the full moon came up and Bob said he had to answer the call of nature, and so saying, he walked off into the night in a southwest direction. Once his sound disappeared, I went about getting everything ready for in the morning, making sure that everything was where we could find it when we needed it. I checked my watch, and saw that it was 11:05PM and no Bob. I hollered a couple of times but no answer. I waited a few more minutes and again called, no answer. I thought that maybe Bob was trying to pull my leg. At midnight, I figured that Bob had enough time to answer several calls of nature, and if he was joking around, it had gone far enough, so I took a five-cell flashlight and started looking for him. His trail wasn't hard to pick up, as Bob weighed around 280 pounds and had on cowboy boots, and the heels dug in deep. I had tracked him out into the middle of a clearing of about 40-50 acres surrounded by patches of scrub trees. When his tracks just stopped, there weren't any trees of any size in this area large enough to hold a 280 pound man, nor were any close enough for him to jump to. So I spent an hour going back over each print, to see if he had walked backwards in them. As far as I could tell, he hadn't. Then I went back to camp and emptied out several boxes, and took them back to the clearing and covered the last six footprints so that I could study them in daylight. I spent what remained of the night firing shots at five minute intervals, hoping that I would get a return shot. Came the dawn and I had a pile of spent brass and a sore arm, but still no Bob. I left the camp as it was and drove to the nearest phone and called the County police. After I had explained to them several times over the phone what had transpired, they sent a couple of deputies out to see into it. They arrived around 11:15 AM, and weren't any too happy about it. After giving them all the facts several more times, they finally agreed to follow me back to camp and would look into it. It was close to 1:00PM when we arrived back at camp. I was hoping to see Bob's face, sitting there, but it wasn't, so I showed the deputies where the tracks were, and made sure they didn't walk in them. Then when we got to the boxes, they could only scratch their heads, and say it didn't make any sense to them. They were stumped, plain and simple. After I explained to them that Bob was a family man, and also was expecting a sizable cash settlement (the family never received anything, possible foul-play?), he was not one to just disappear like that, so the deputies put in a request for some Pima Indian trackers that they use from time to time and they /'' arrived on Monday. Once they were shown where the tracks started they went alone. After they came to the tracks under the boxes, we could still see them from where we were in camp. After looking around for a few minutes, they carne back to the camp and got into the car that had brought them out, and wouldn't say anything more about what they had found. But they kept looking out into the clearing and shaking their heads in a negative way. I was asked to sign an affidavit to the facts as they found them. But from that day in 1970 to this 1993, not a trace has been seen or heard from Bob. I won't even try to speculate on what might have happened to him. It was after all this that I finally threw in the towel. No more Bigfoot for me. I even moved back to Florida. One thing I regret is that in the several moves around the states I have lost all the information that was once collected on Bigfoot.

#* Here's a fairly fresh report, March 31st, 1992, but from far away California. Jim Doyle got a call from his friend Larry who had just seen Bigfoot about six miles east of San Louis Obispo (Near the coast, midway between L.A. and 'Frisco), and beat it in to alert the WBS. Larry and two friends were hiking when they came upon the 6'3" animal only 20-25 feet away in broad daylight at 2 p.m. He said it growled like a bear, charged them, stopped and looked around, then turned and ran like the wind. It scared the daylights out of them, Jim said. Also, it smelled like death he said...like dead corpses. He also said that there were big tracks all over the place. I'll call the California Big Foot Organization's hot line tonight (Apr. 9) to alert them to the relatively fresh sighting, and will also alert our members that live down there in the Bay region.

Hank was watching TV and heard his dogs barking so he went to see what was going on outside. His trash had been raided the last couple of nights. Turning on the outside lights to get a better look; he saw a shape in the dark and yelled; "hey you...get the hell out of here!" With no response to this; he got his shotgun and fired it in the air. At that time the "thing" gave out a yell and tore for the hills and he ran in the house. The thing was 6 1/2-7 feet tall; but it was to dark to tell what color it was.

It moved on two feet and was "different;" bigger than a man; but all the time it was in the IR it remained "cold." It was said to be like the Patterson film in this anonymous letter. An email comment-As far as technology, I suspect you have never heard the tale of the Polar Bear. For years the USAF scanned the Arctic and never photographed a Polar Bear; seals, walrus and Aleuts galore but no damned Polar Bears! After thirty years we find that Polar Bear fur traps Infrared to conserve body heat. Now WE use the Polar Bear's "technology" to hide our troops in combat.Jim,

Sighting Text:
CA, * Nothing reliable to report from our area for April. In California; investigator Mike Stevenson and partner have investigated an interesting case though. A couple and their teen-age daughter were at Cerro Alto Campground; Hy. 41; between Morro Bay and Atascadero; CA. The family was spending the Easter holiday camping (Easter Sunday Apr. 16th); and the girl saw something that she thought was a bear; but later realized was a Bigfoot. They notified Mike (runs a local ad) and he and a friend came to investigate; and found possible tracks and scuffs where the girl said she had seen something; but it was not conclusive. Two days later they called again; and this time Mike and friend went prepared and stayed a week. At sunset in the quiet camp the family heard noises of water splashing from the nearby creek; and thinking it was some kind of wild animal crept close to investigate. At first they though they were seeing a man; and closed to within 40 feet of him without being seen or heard. There was a ledge; so they couldn't tell how tall he was at first; as he was bent over. At that point the creature sensed them; turned and stood up. The Bigfoot was about 6 1/2 to 7 foot tall; dark colored (it was getting dark and the man couldn't tell if it was black or brown); and it terrified all of them...they ran back to camp and hid in their tent (like that would help) until daybreak; then broke camp and left. They called Mike again; and returned; showing him where it was. There were some tracks in the mud; but it was under water and they couldn't get plaster imprints. Mike says the man; about 45; had been in the military; and sounded; along with the rest of the family; very sincere; and he believed they had seen a Bigfoot. The man caught a swift glimpse of the creature's profile when it turned; and said it had a conical head with very long hair; and the nose; lips and chin looked human. He glanced back as they were running away and saw the thing moving on; away down the creek. They didn't know what it was doing at the creek in the first place. Mike and companion stayed in the area for a week; but had no further sightings. On the phone; he speculated about the creatures possibly migrating through the area; and had thought since the fires last year; he wouldn't get any reports this year. The area is primarily chaparral. ,

Sighting Text:
CA SHASTA 2000 TR99 * Bob Everett, Northern California Bigfoot Organization. 530-623-4742; bpelect@cwnet.com On April 24th, 2000 I received a telephone call from a person we will know as JEFFERY, other detailed information will be kept confidential. Jeffery called me at app. 4 PM on this date and stated he had been researching any type of Bigfoot sighting that had been published in the local newspapers. Jeffery told me that he had some first-hand information and two sightings of a Bigfoot near the SE end of **Whiskeytown Lake in Shasta County, CA. Jeffery was driving along Mult Town Hill Road near the Historical town of Shasta, Ca. While driving along the road as he has done numerous times in the past, accounting for places to hunt in the Fall during deer season. After driving app. 2 miles he spots a very large creature standing behind some 5 foot manzanita bushes. The creature was now moving along the road and was about 5 feet above the bushes, making it app. 9-10 feet high, and it kept on moving along the road as Jeffery continued to drive very slowly. After 15 minutes, the creature moved off into the heavy underbrush. Jeffery did not have a camera with him at this time. The next day he came back to the same spot and baited the area with a 50# bag of dog food (Gravy Train) and a large bag of apples. After driving around the area Jeffery did not see the big creature that day, went home and returned that night just before it was getting dark. He stopped his car and got out to check the bait...to Jeffrey’s surprise, the large creature was standing almost in the exact spot where it was the day before. The very large creature let out a howl or scream, nothing that he had heard before, and took off walking at a fast gait and disappeared. Jeffery was scared at this time and returned home. The next day the dog food and apples were gone, no tracks were found. Bob Everett with Jeffery went back to the area and found an old miner’s cabin, and a stone cistern. There was an old mine that caved in some time ago. There was a smell that came out of the entrance that was of something dead inside. Quartz rocks all over the area and in the tailing. My dog wouldn’t even go near the mine and when I tried to get the dog to go near the entrance the hair on her back would stand upright, and when she went down some of the other trails in the area she would growl under her breath.

Summary: FILMED FAMILY OF BF FORAGING FOOD

Sighting Text:
* Jackson Moore, 4/29/93; concerns article of Bigfoot sighting near Happy camp in TR#25. More detail was desired on the filming of the creatures; The animals I saw were very much humanoid in appearance, only larger. The family that I filmed for approximately eight minutes carried on as a family unit. They were foraging for food. The largest of them was a male, about 11 1/2 to 12 feet tall. We were able to measure a spruce tree that he was standing next to, that was 9 foot 8 inches tall, and came across the middle of his chest. The second animal was very much a female, as we could see very large breasts. The other two animals were only about half that size, but very heavy in build also. The family that I saw had what looked like very long hair over most of their bodies. The color is almost black, with a reddish cast. The males head sort of went into the shoulders, with very little or no neck visible. His arms were much longer .than ours would be in a like stance, coming to mid thigh. The female's wasn't so pronounced. Also the same for the younger ones. One of the first things one notices is the smell, a very strong repugnant odor that is very vile at best. All animals have an odor of one sort or the o~her, especially when in rut, or, like some animals have --to drive away their hunters... like a skunk. (ed:It has been suggested that Bigfoot odor might be a specially designed mechanism to drive away antagonists, Ray) I was not close enough to tell the color of their eyes, other than they were dark. When they became aware of us, they moved very swiftly away, as though they were no more than wisps of smoke. We went down to the area after they had faded away and made several casts of the different tracks that were allover the area. We also recovered a small clump of hair that was caught in the bark of a large tree that the male had used as a scratching post. All of this material was lost when we encountered two animals later on, and my partner was killed by one of them.

Summary: BROWN BF,18 IN SNOWBALL THROWN, 19 IN TRACKS, WHISTLE

Sighting Text:
* BOY scout leader Mike Clark was a boy of 8 or 9, living in northern California just before Christmas of 1961 (between December 18th and the 21st). West of Yreka, CA, the family with 5 brothers (1st grade thru' last year of high school) lived near Bald Mountain (5493 ft.) off the Klamath River. A possible investment in the KC Columbia Mine on McKinney Ck. (T46N R9W, sec. 31), required samples of the gold ore to be taken for the geologist, and dad was ill with a bad cold, remained at home while the 5 brothers went to the mine to get the required ore samples (Hi-ho, hi-ho...). Just below the tailing dump at #3 tunnel, about noon, they made a fire to heat bullion cubes, it was cold and the sky was overcast, snow in places was waist deep. All of a sudden a huge snowball (12- 18 inches) landed in the middle of the fire putting it out. The boys were mystified, each thinking the other had pulled some kind of prank as there were no trees for the massive snow blob to have fallen from. Again a fire was made, and this time they saw the even larger snowball (18-24 inches) coming from uphill near the #3 tunnel, about 20-25 feet away, and 30 feet higher in elevation. They all rushed uphill, thinking they would catch a glimpse of their dad playing a prank on them. What they saw confused them even more... there was a brown colored man running through the trees. Mike recalls seeing his back above the knees and one arm swing backwards as it ran. His oldest brother, about six feet tall, followed a ways, easily passing under branches that the "man" had to stoop a bit to pass under. He came back with "quite a handful of hair." Most amazing were the "snowshoe-like" tracks the thing left in the snow...19 inches long, "I kneeled beside them," and they looked like bare human feet, Mike said. It was plain where the snow had been rolled into balls, same as a child constructing a snowman, another snowball lie waiting to be thrown, the 19 inch tracks all around it. Still mystified, the boys heard a blood curdling whistle/scream that raised the hair on the back of Mike's neck...all the boys "skee-daddled"down the mountain. At home dad laughed at them for being so scared of a bear. Snowballs? Sound familiar? In TR#25 ran the tale of Jean Z., 1991, and a large snowball hitting the window of the truck she was in. At the time I commented lightly, "she wondered if an Abominable Snow Man was doing a snow job on her." Now I wonder? Seems almost natural that a creature with "hands" would roll a snowball.

Summary: JOHN SYRRELL KILLED BY BF, TRACKS

Sighting Text:
Track Record 25, March 1993 Jackson Moore-Bigfoot Kills Humam At the time this story came about, I was 28 years old and working in Los Angeles, CA, on the Queen Mary. I had spent some spare hours in the library in Long Beach, where I came across several articles on Sasquatch, or Bigfoot, as most I've talked to, are wont to call him. It was while I was doing further research on this animal, that I met John Syrrell, who was from somewhere in New York State. He never would say just where, and I didn't ask. It was the second week in September, 1969, that there was a short report on the evening news about some hunters out of Happy Camp, CA, that thought they had seen a 1ive Bigfoot. So John and I chartered a plane and put some equipment together and went to Happy Camp. Upon our arrival, everyone was talking about the Bigfoot that these hunters had seen. We talked to quite a few people, and most were friendly enough, but didn't want their names in print. We got the location of the sighting and rented some horses to ride and others to pack our gear. John and I were armed with state of-the-art weapons. My favorite was a .458 Weatherby Magnum rifle and the bullets I had made up were 1200 grain slugs ahead of Nitro Express powder. John was carrying an Ithaca twin-bore ten-gauge, with three-inch solid brass magnum shotgun shells. We both had Ruger Blackhawk .44 magnum handguns with six rounds under the hammer and 34 rounds in cartridge belts. Along with sound gear, we toted a 16 mm movie camera with infrared film for night shots, and if the opportunity presented itself - we also brought a tranquilizer gun with a 60 yard range, using "Capture Gem" tranquilizer with doses calibrated to bring down a bison, provided by Yerkes Regional Primate Center. It took several days for us to pick up the tracks that were reported. This was in an area of the Marble Mountain Wilderness and the Siskiyou National Forest where we had gone 20 miles into the timber, past Rattlesnake Canyon. The deeper we went into this region the better and more numerous became the tracks, and we took stills and 16 mm film of quite a few of these, besides shots where we had come across several places where something had left long, 10-11 inch, brown-red hairs. We would put these in plastic bags and labeled with time of day and approximately where found. I found that John was able to move through the woods like a ghost, which is ideal when tracking an animal of this size. We were able to locate a group of four animals; two adults and two smaller in size - ages unknown. We took several minutes of film, before they became aware of us. We were up on the side of a goodly sized hill and they were in a clearing close to a stream that flowed through it. They were looking in and around some plants that grew there, species unknown to me. They would pause from time to time and scan the area, and when they finally heard the sound the camera was making, they moved as one, away from us. John and I were really excited about this, as this film would be so much better to study Bigfeet by, rather than Floyd (SIC:Roger)Patterson's short film. We went back to camp in very high spirits about all that we had achieved so far, but then we had a few days of hard rains, that washed all tracks away. We spent six miserable days in this weather, from dawn to dark, looking for tracks, but there were none. We had just about made up our minds to call it quits when the sun came out at last, so we decided that we would stay one more week. It was on the morning of the third day that we came upon not one, but two sets of fresh tracks - the ground was still damp enough to take a good impression of anything that moved over it. We followed the tracks for about one-and-a-half miles before we came to a split in the trail; each trail went along the lower side of a steep butte on a north-south axis. I chose the left trail and John went up the one on the right. Again I told him that if either one of us was to see this animal, that we would get on the walkie-talkie and wait until the other had arrived for back-up. At no time were we to try to take one of these animals on alone. John checked his weapon to make sure it was loaded, then we moved out. The animal I was tracking was very large, as I would place my size 12 boot next to one of his, and his were about 6-7" longer than mine and about 4" wider. I had gone along this trail about 275 yds., and was traveling parallel to John, about 500 yards away, when I heard the solid booms of the ten gauge going off. This was followed by two more, and then two more. At first I thought it was echoes, but after a short pause of 20-30 seconds, two more shots boomed out, I had already started back along the trail, so that I could come up and give John some cover. As I was nearing the split in the trail, two more shots were fired, and then two more, then silence. I tore off up John's trail as fast as I could move, looking for John to fall back down the trail so I could give him covering fire, but this never happened. I raced up over a small rise in the trail that sloped back down on the other side into a small clearing. At first all I could see, was blood everywhere, trees, brush and ground was covered in it. I froze at the top of the trail and started looking for John. It was several minutes before it dawned on me, that what I thought were clumps of grass, covered with blood, were the different parts of John's body. He had been torn in pieces; arms and legs torn off, by whatever he had been shooting at. As I looked closer, I could see his right leg embedded in a tree, and nearby the twisted remains of the shotgun - it had been twisted into a curlicue. I ripped the walkie-talkie loose and called for the chopper that we had chartered in Happy Camp to come and pick me up. While I was waiting for the chopper, I backed up against the nearest and biggest tree and stayed put until I could hear the chopper in the distance. When he got overhead, the pilot could see the blood from the air, and said he wouldn't set down, that he would drop a rope ladder down and for me to get on. When we arrived back at Happy Camp, the local County Sheriff's deputy had been waiting for us. We immediately returned to the site and flew over it for several minutes taking pictures, but no one wanted to get on the ground for a closer look. They held an inquest and declared that John was killed by a person or persons unknown. From that day until this, as far as I know, all of our equipment is still there.

Sighting Text:
Track Record 25, March 1993 Jackson Moore-Bigfoot Kills Humam At the time this story came about, I was 28 years old and working in Los Angeles, CA, on the Queen Mary. I had spent some spare hours in the library in Long Beach, where I came across several articles on Sasquatch, or Bigfoot, as most I've talked to, are wont to call him. It was while I was doing further research on this animal, that I met John Syrrell, who was from somewhere in New York State. He never would say just where, and I didn't ask. It was the second week in September, 1969, that there was a short report on the evening news about some hunters out of Happy Camp, CA, that thought they had seen a 1ive Bigfoot. So John and I chartered a plane and put some equipment together and went to Happy Camp. Upon our arrival, everyone was talking about the Bigfoot that these hunters had seen. We talked to quite a few people, and most were friendly enough, but didn't want their names in print. We got the location of the sighting and rented some horses to ride and others to pack our gear. John and I were armed with state of-the-art weapons. My favorite was a .458 Weatherby Magnum rifle and the bullets I had made up were 1200 grain slugs ahead of Nitro Express powder. John was carrying an Ithaca twin-bore ten-gauge, with three-inch solid brass magnum shotgun shells. We both had Ruger Blackhawk .44 magnum handguns with six rounds under the hammer and 34 rounds in cartridge belts. Along with sound gear, we toted a 16 mm movie camera with infrared film for night shots, and if the opportunity presented itself - we also brought a tranquilizer gun with a 60 yard range, using "Capture Gem" tranquilizer with doses calibrated to bring down a bison, provided by Yerkes Regional Primate Center.

Summary: DEAD BF ALONG ROAD, HAD FINGERNAILS

Sighting Text:
CA TR23 John Green reported (1978) that in June of 1971 the Salem, OR, "Capital Journal" carried a report from near Happy Camp, CA, where two young girls had found a dead Bigfoot along a forest road. The body was well rotted away, white ribs showing, face gone, but they did see on the hands...squared off dark finger nails. Mr. Green investigated, and believed the girls actually found a dead Bigfoot, based on a report from the "Ostman kidnapping," of those Bigfeet also having dark fingernails (only primates have nails).

T. and friend Chris camping on Mt. Shasta Bally. Something was walking in camp and awoke witness in bed of truck. Smelled really wild smell, like dog/coyote fighting. It circled the truck on two legs at 40-60 feet for one and a half hours. Witnesses were really “freaked out.” Had large caliber handguns, but did not use. It kept moving closer, breaking branches and making grunting sounds. Was not a bear that witness was familiar with. Before first light, it moved off to the southwest. In the morning there were disturbed pine needles 30 feet from the truck and broken limbs about six feet high. Elevation 8000 ft.
