FIND BIGFOOT on FACEBOOK Declares a KNOWN HOAX the Number Six Bigfoot Video of All Time
Watch it HERE. Or view the "updated" version the hoaxer claims he will never take down HERE. Then ask yourself, WHY did anyone believe this crap in the first place?

Shockingly, on the same day, or the day after we got wind of the full-on-viral "tree-pulling Bigfoot" video on YouTube being a full-on hoax, those clever guys at FindBigfoot (or just "Bigfoot") on Facebook declared it to be well-within the top ten best clips of a Sasquatch ever! This video was shot by a dude named Jeff, from Ohio; though why he calls himself "The Squatchmaster" is truly beyond our understanding. From the first time we saw it, personally, we just knew it was fake; and looking closer its fake-ishness became all too clear. Astonishing, even further, were the declarations made by Bigfoot-Facebook of utter conviction of the reality of the film clip, and also some very bizarre interpretations thereof.

This went WELL BEYOND saying the thing "confirmed on cone-head" when the figure was actually wearing a hoodie; it went right on into confirming the nature of Bigfoot's culture. This is the last straw for Facebook-Bigfoot, whose complete hubris of assumption, presupposition and pareidolia have been truly fascinating up to this point. Now they have really jumped the squatch.
We quote from there page (linked above):

"#6 Best Bigfoot Video 6/54 "Sasquatch breaking down tree, voice, track trackway, possible ceremony" Ohio 1/9 to 1/16 2011 Posted by anonymous researcher "SquatchMaster"
This is a compilation of the best of two weekends of expeditions in Ohio. very shaky footage, but contains great data. SM sees two Sasquatch briefly. Flims three alarm knocks one crossing a gap, and one up in a tree. Then SM films the greatest display of strength by a Sasquatch that is clearly under stress. Another Sasquatch is up a tree. Confirms on long arms, coned head, slope to back(trapezoid connections). Voice is heard during the breaking down of tree. Likely instructions to the other Sasquatch, the filmer or possible ceremony in breaking down tree."


"Ceremony," we ask? OMG, as they say. Rather than babble on here we'll just offer the set of comments we left on the video's page on their Facebook site. Be sure to read ALL of the comments in there. You might just find their credibility damaged and your own native skepticism rising up against all of this YouTubing Blobsquatchery. Don't feed the hoaxers. End Blobsquatching Now!

View his full array of videos HERE, under "Uploads, See All," if you can bear it. It seems that he went from serious though frustrated researcher to hoaxer, and then to hoaxer-joker-covering-his-ass, all in one short year. Wow, and some people have spend decades doing this; but Mr. JeffMaster knows all, we suppose. It would seem his goal, in the end, was just to try to trouble and defame Tim Stover and Don Keating. One of the more un-fabulous careers in Bigfooting goes down into the dust of infamy! Good riddance. Hopefully some of the other stinky stuff coming out of Salt Fork State Park will clear up before this year's annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference? Here's hoping!

SQUATCHMASTER "TREE-BREAK VIDEO" HOAX UPDATE

Last blog entry (See Details HERE) we talked about a hoax perpetrated by a certain YouTuber-hoaxer calling himself "The SqauatchMaster." Well, more information clarifying what is really in that sub-viral "tree break" video clip from Ohio's Salt Fork State Park has emerged. The film subject was one of the hoaxer's sons, wearing the same outfit seen in other of his dad's silly staged "evidence" of his own folly. He thought he could fool and mislead serious researchers such as TCSJR-Bigfoot, Tim Stover, and others. The images from the hoaxer's YouTube pages, and his comments from his true "Jeffery Patterson" Facebook identity, seen below, are courtesy of Nancy Snodgrass, who captured the screen shots and was the instrumental figure in exposing this hoax, later revealed in full on Stover's BlogTalk Radio show. A year ago, the "SquatMaster" was caught hoaxing, so it seems he was never sincere about his BF hunting activities. And now, add to the story... Yet ANOTHER monumental FAIL from FB/Find Bigfoot! Read onward...
Astonishingly, FIND BIGFOOT-FACEBOOK (http://www.facebook.com/FindBigfoot) are still clinging on to the idea that this video clip could actually be real. This after their stunningly blind claim that it was real, and the "6th Best All-Time" Bigfoot footage. The case was investigated by Stover, and no evidence of Bigfoot was found around the tiny 3-inch uprooted tree, and the case was dumped in its deserved trash bin. It would seem, however, that Bigfoot on Facebook hasn't gotten that memo. Now SquatMaster has let it go to his head, and is bragging (just like Tim Fasano) about the high "ranking" of his video. Way to go and ENABLE the hoaxers, FindBigfoot! Now BF-FB say they are "investigating" the video and its provenance, which is a wise semi-retraction, but they are buying the guy's latest story that the video was real, after all. This DESPITE the SquatMaster's clear and apparently totally honest confession video (now removed from YouTube by him), where he stated that he did not in fact believe that there were any Bigfoot in Salt Fork, and further, that Bigfoot was only a legend from the old Indian days. How many times have these statements changed? How many times has a new version of the video been posted? Which one do YOU think is a lie? Someone who prevaricates to this degree should just not be trusted. He has cried "squatch" and "not squatch" a few too many times for our taste.
Here is some of the evidence against this joker...
Still have some lingering doubts? Just read...
"SquatchMaster" Jeffery Patterson's own CONFESSION:
"Truth be told,the Bigfoot is is nothing but a legend. It is a mythical creature of old Indian legend. Anyone that believes in such a creature is only lying to themselves. Has Mr. Stover EVER had any proof shown that he has seen one? NO! Why? B...ecause he is aware that they are only legend. Furthermore this video only shows one thing,that I did have a plan in case this creature was real and I crossed paths with it. I just didn't drop to one knee and start filming has he stated he would. Mine was a plan of action. I could really care less what he or anyone else says because of his threats. Just remember this, he is the one that wears the 'noggin condom' and just where are condoms worn? Right on.. he is a dick head." WE SAY: Look in the Mirror, SquatMaster.

Bigfoot on Facebook's latest vacillation:
"We are investigating the "squatchmaster" video from Salt Fork State Park Ohio. Speaking to all parties concerned, we finished an interview with Tim Stover tonight who was extremely professional and matter of fact. We have traded a score of emails and will speak to Jeff (squatchmaster) tomorrow regarding the circumstances around the video and all of the decision making subsequent to the video editorials. It should be said that Jeff, stands resolutely behind the video and does not want the video discarded as a hoax. Stover and others with extensive experience at Salt Fork also, need to be heard. Put the video into the "unrated" category until completion of and full report.fullinvestigation.investigation."

OK FBF-FB!!! Will do. It's done. We know the truth now. It's over. Sorry.
