Sasquatch Roadblock

In 1966 Roger Patterson received a letter from a man telling of a terrifying event that happened to him back in 1952. Patterson then shared the letter with John Green. Here is part of what he wrote\ :

"The first part of the story took me back to 1952 when I had gone down to Orleans <California> to start preliminary work on a logging operation with men by the names of Lee Vlery and Josh Russel.

Vancouver Bigfoot Tales

John Green made many contacts who shared the stories they heard in their areas with him. Two of them for the Vancouver area were Bruce McKelvie and Charles Cates.

Bruce Mckelvie was a journalist and historian, who spent time listening to the stories told by the people in the area. He was known to keep silent if asked to and never told of the secret encounters. Charles Cates, Mayor of North Vancouver, also collected stories of these creatures. Both of these men recorded these tales long before anyone thought to keep any sort of systematic records. Unfortunately, most of what they knew was lost when they died in the late 1950s.

John Green Revisited

While looking through my piles of notes and books and notebooks full of ideas and all, I ran across this statement by John Green. So today, I turn my post over to Mr. John Green.

Bones In The Road

In June of 1971, the Salem, Oregon Capital Journal newspaper carried a story about a local girl and her friend who had found a dead body near Happy Camp, California back in 1967.  A dead bigfoot.

At the time, skepticism ruled the day and not many investigated the story, deciding it was nothing more than a hoax. Most believed that two young girls could not have walked eight miles into the woods, as reported in the story. Also, the girls could not be found to be questioned and it was doubted that the girls had been able to relocate the spot where they claimed to have found the body several years later.

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.

Mrs. Callie Lund's Bigfoot Story

In 1969, John Green received a letter from Mrs. Callie Lund of Rochester, Washington. And here's the story she had to tell.

It was a snowy and wet spring in 1933. The terrain was comprised of ranches along the river, farming the bottom land, but with houses and buildings on the logged-out hillsides. These were referred to as "stump ranches". By 1933, some of the hillsides were now covered in second-growth timber.

At this time Mrs. Lund was attending high school in Oakville and on the weekend she was talking about, she had just returned home from a dance in Oakville. She had gone with several other young girls. When returning home from an evening out, she always walked around the house to the back door. That night, just as she started to open the back door, she heard a very loud noise up on the hill behind the house. She was familiar with the sounds of the wildlife on the hill, the coyotes and cougars. This was a sound she had never heard before.

Thoughts From John Green Still Valid Today

John Green shared many of his thoughts and conclusions throughout his book "Sasquatch the Apes Among Us" while he collected those reports of encounters and shared the experiences of those with whom he spoke. Many are worth keeping in mind even today.

He spoke of how not all the reports were true, that there probably were hoaxes involved; some stories sensationalized by newspapermen trying to sell papers. But also, that the reports he had gathered represented only a small portion of the encounters that were out there.  All the old stories that never got into print are gone forever. And there are many that are lost in old publications that people have not yet found.

Research Into The White Sasquatch

Some of the more interesting questions center around colors of bigfoot or sasquatch.
Anything other than brown or black is considered rare.

But I haven't found that to be true as I've gathered and explored reports both old and new.

There are many colors and hues among these beings.

John Green conducted a study of the reports he had gathered and came to this conclusion : 50% were of black or dark colored; 25% brown; 15% light colored and 8% grey.  If I'm adding right, it appears he felt only 2% had no description.

Another Historical Track Casting From Bluff Creek

Here is another historical track and casting from Bluff Creek. I'm sharing these older reports to show that there was a history of bigfoot tracks in the area long before Roger Patterson filmed his famous "Patty" footage in 1967.

The casting below was originally cast back in 1960, by a world-famous big game hunter and bigfoot investigator.

My Crypto World - Cincinnati Zoo Event and John Green

Welcome to episode 11 of My Crypto World. In this episode, I give some thoughts on the Cincinnati Zoo event and talk about the passing of researcher John Green.
I tried to keep this episode rather short and only cover these two topics. Look for more episodes in the future.

Here is episode 11.

Origins of the words "Sasquatch" and "Bigfoot"

The term "Sasquatch" is an anglicized derivative of the word "Sésquac", meaning "wild man". The original word, in the Stó:lõ dialect of the Halkomelem language, is used by the Coast Salish Indians of the Fraser Valley and parts of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Indian tribes across North America have a total of more than sixty different terms for the Sasquatch.

"Bigfoot" was a journalistic term generated in the middle of the last century during a rash of sightings in Northern California. The word has come to be recognized widely.

Many different terms have been used by pioneers and later non-native inhabitants of North America, including "skookums" and "mountain devils".

The description given here is derived from a compilation of thousands of eye witness reports from the entire continent, some of astounding length, detail, and corroborative evidence; the Patterson movie, taken in 1967, and a recent computer-based image analysis of it; and statistical analysis of a large database accumulated over the last fifty years, primarily by John Green.

I personally prefer the term Bigfoot...I really don't know why.

Thanks
