How Crazy Does Paul Freeman Look Now?

Paul Freeman

             The late Paul Freeman (Aug. 1943-April 2003) is well-known by bigfoot researchers everywhere as a pioneer of bigfooting.  As the world laughed, he diligently documented his findings from the forests around Walla Walla Washington and reported them to authorities under intense scrutiny and ridicule. As an employee for the U.S. Forest Service, he spent a great deal of time in those woods and made some incredible claims. Claims that seemed so ridiculous to many at the time. But how ridiculous are they now?

            Freeman was one of  the first to cast bigfoot prints. And everyone laughed at the sheer fake appearance of them until Dr. Grover Krantz, an anthropology professor at Washington State University, examined the casts and found the famous dermal ridges that finally gave Freeman the credibility he craved. While it gave Dr. Krantz and many others reason to believe that Bigfoot might really exist after all. It was solely due to Freeman’s research that the Bigfoot ball started really rolling.

            Freeman was one of the first to report very large creatures up to 700 lbs. With feet measuring up to 18 inches long, which must have seemed crazy at the time, not to mention scary. But in the years that followed, there were many such reports of huge creatures being spotted, and a considerable number of footprints have since been found measuring that length.

            And he was one of  the first to claim that the creatures were gentle and shy and not dangerous. And he claimed they avoided detection by hunting at night and avoiding humans. He was also one of the first to say they must be VERY intelligent or they’d be dead by now.

            Does any of this sound familiar? This is all information that’s been corroborated by researchers in recent years. Freeman was right all along.

            Freeman died in 2003 of complications from diabetes, putting an end to the work he would have likely continued had he lived longer. He sadly didn’t live long enough to see how very far we’ve come in our studies of the creature with the latest sound and video equipment at our disposal and such a concentrated worldwide effort.  But he’s still the father of it all; responsible for the craze of the pursuit of the elusive hairy ones that leaves us all fascinated and hooked on the subject today. *******
