The Matilda Story | Part 2 | The Erickson Project


The Matilda Story | Part 2 | The Erickson Project

The Erickson Project ran from 2005 to 2010. Its mission was to find proof that the sasquatch was real through forensic evidence: photographs, videos, footprints, skin, hair, and saliva samples.

Erickson described a typical day researching for the Project: Up in the early morning to check the area for any evidence that Sasquatch had come around. Checking for prints, checking if the food was touched. Then later in the day, he was "dealing with local residents and their issues". Maybe they would do some "B-Roll" videotaping. Then, just before dark, the team would go into the woods with night vision cameras and wait for the sasquatch to show themselves.

Tracking Bigfoot


Tracking Bigfoot

"Much of what is learned about mammals in the wild comes from the stories that can be read from their tracks and other sign." -- Dr. Jim Halfpenny, renowned wildlife tracker.
 
Being able to tell a human footprint from a bigfoot print from a hoax, is an important skill to gain or perfect for any researcher. When examing a track or a cast, Dr. Jeff Meldrum looks at three major points: Toe movement, midfoot flexibility, and pressure ridges.

Hair Analysis - Part 1

cryptosightings.com

Hair Analysis - Part 1

Hair analysis is a much-debated topic among researchers. A common complaint is that scientists just won't come out and say it's sasquatch hair. They only say it's unknown.

The answer is: It's unknown. Any reputable scientist will never officially label a hair sample with the name of an unknown creature. If, and until, a known, acknowledged, classified sasquatch is presented to scientists for study; hair, DNA, and all that "stuff" will remain UNKNOWN.

We will sometimes get "indeterminate identity". This is a step forward that indicates the acceptance among some of an unknown animal.

Gigantopithecus Part 2

Gigantopithecus Part 2

Most of us in the Community are familiar with the Bigfoot-Giganto Theory. It is based on the belief that bigfoot are surviving relatives of the genus Gigantopithecus and that this creature crossed the Bering Land Bridge into North America and evolved into the modern day bigfoot.

So let's break it down by listing pro and con.

Todd Standing - Best Bigfoot Researcher in the World?


Long before Todd Standing's film, Discovering Bigfoot, came out he was somewhat of a controversial figure in the bigfoot community. Now, that his film is out and it is fairly popular, the debate about the evidence he presents has once again become a hot topic.  Many people think his variety of Sasquatch are real while others think it is just a hoax. Most of what is in the film has been available to view for a number of years. But it was all packaged with some new footage and formed into a documentary.

The film does have a couple of very well respected names attached to it. Namely, John Bindernagel, and Jeffrey Meldrum. Both are heavily respected in the filed of bigfoot and having them on board for the film is a major drawing point.

Of course, there are many who are still questioning and doubting the Standing film and footage.

Todd Standing Discovering Bigfoot Film

Still frame from Standing's film "Discovering Bigfoot"
Controversial bigfoot researcher Todd Standing is back and has released a film entitled"Discovering Bigfoot". He has also filed a civil lawsuit against the British Columbia Ministry of Environment
and British Columbia Fish and Wildlife and hopes to prove the existence of bigfoot in court.

Today, I want to talk more about the film and particularly this still frame above and not really talk about the lawsuit.

I also must be clear that I have not actually seen the film and have only seen a few shorts clips from it. With that said I want to offer my opinion on what I've seen and the still frame above.

Bigfoot Footprints Examined

Bigfoot Footprints Examined
Anthropologist Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum Weighs In
By Dorraine Fisher

Even though critics scoff at footprint findings of alleged sasquatches, footprint evidence is still the best evidence we have of an undiscovered primate in the forests of North America. As much as some unenlightened individuals try to fake them and make fools of researchers, researchers can tell the difference.

A real print is easily spotted...by a trained eye. A living, fleshy foot makes distinct marks on the surface. The motion of dozens of bones, ligaments, and tendons move in a fluid motion and create what is known as compression lines in the inner edge of the track. And also there are dermal ridges, that are like the fingerprints of the feet. These lines on the bottom of the feet that look just like the fingerprint lines on our fingers cannot be faked. Combined with the sequential movement of a real, fleshy foot, these can be easily seen by the experts.

Bigfoot in Idaho?

Moyie Springs Bigfoot Photo

I finally took a little time and did a little research about the photo above. I had seen it for years but didn't really know much about it. Thanks to Dr. Meldrum a couple other photos were released of this thing. So I threw it all together into a short video. Here is the video -

Questionable Bigfoot Photos

Picture taken from a train


This post by Thomas Marcum, Thomas is the founder/leader of the cryptozoology and paranormal research organization known as The Crypto Crew. Over 20 years experience with research and investigation of unexplained activity, working with video and websites. A trained wild land firefighter and a published photographer, and poet.


Questionable Bigfoot Photos


Train ride Bigfoot (Picture above) - This photo was presented as being real by a guy who was on Coast to Coast radio program. The people in the Bigfoot community quickly debunked it as being from Silverwood Theme park. I will admit I don't know all the details of the photo because after I seen it, I knew it was not of a real Bigfoot, so I didn't investigate the back story. I think the main person involved in obtaining information about this photo was Randy Filipovic . Randy contacted Chris Russel about the Silverwood train ride prop and Chris confirmed that he did in fact make the Bigfoot figure for the theme park. Some of you may remember Mr. Russel, he was the person who created the Bigfoot dummy known as Hank for Rick Dyer. So, the picture was taken from a train but it is part of the tour and is a fake. You would think that this would have slammed the breaks on for this photo, but wait this is the Bigfoot community we are talking about, and yes some are still holding on that this photo is of a real Bigfoot.

 Here is the next picture I want to write about.


 Again, I know almost nothing about the back story surrounding this photograph. I do know that many believe it to be of a real Sasquatch. The photo has been around for years on the Internet but is rarely accompanied by a story, date or location . At first look the creature may look pretty good, it's big and bulky, but look at the unusually skinny fingers, this should be enough to throw a red flag.  It would be nice to have more pictures of this "thing" ..right? Well, thanks to Dr. Jeff Meldrum we do. 
Several months ago, Dr. Meldrum posted the following photos.

Photo 1 of the creature standing up. Looks to be from some type of newspaper or magazine.


Photo 2 of the creature walking in the snow

    
Everyone should now be able to see this is a horrible fake. The expression on the creatures face is the same, the suit is big and baggy. In fact this looks like something you would see on the Muppet Show or in the movie "Where the wild things are". But, you guessed it, some still hold that this is of a real Bigfoot. I just don't see it. 
Kid takes Bigfoot Photo.

Again, I will admit I do not know everything about this story. The best I know is that some 9 or 10 year old kid snuck up within about 30 feet of a Bigfoot and took a few pictures. This event took place in Canada best I can recall. This is really a fresh story being circulated around but I have some "red flags" about the photo. To me, it seem like the figure has baggy clothes or a suit on. Notice the edges of the arms and legs, it appears kind of wrinkly looking to me. 

Here is a blow up of the figure.  


I'm sure thinking this is yet another fake/hoax. Maybe some more information will come out at some point to make me change my mind.

I get frustrated at the large number of hoaxes and fakes being passed around and pulled. I personally know Bigfoot is real but could all of these hoaxers just be thrill seekers or attention seekers? Or could there be something more behind all of it. Could it be an orchestrated attempt to keep doubt in the public eye? It seems that faked and hoaxed Bigfoot material gets a lot of press but real evidence is rarely taken serious or presented to the public in a serious manner.  You can make up your own minds about what you think is behind this kind of stuff.

 Have a great day!
Thanks
~Tom~

Dr. Meldrum Replies to Musky Allen

Dr.Meldrum
Musky Allen stated he contacted Dr. Meldrum in an effort to get Meldrum to go to see the dead bigfoot but that Meldrum wanted a fee to go.
Here is Meldrum's reply:

"I was just read a passage over the phone from a post by Mr. Allen claiming he made repeated attempts via email to invite me to go to Las Vegas, but that I requested my "usual appearance fee" of $5500. LOL.
This is a bald-faced lie. I checked to see if I might have missed ANY email correspondence from Mr. Allen and have nothing in my inboxes. Let Mr. Allen produce the emails from me. He can't. WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE REMAINDER OF HIS TESTIMONY?"

End Statement

So can Musky produce the emails?
