TCC's booth at Paranormal for Paws
For those who may not know, Paranormal for Paws is an event that brings together the paranormal field and the animal care field in an effort to raise awareness of the work done by no kill animal shelters in New England.

Even though TCC was a late addition to this event, we think the cause is great and are proud we were able to take part. I also want to send a special thanks to the gang over at S.T.U.R.S. for all their help, they were phenomenal!



Here is a picture of S.T.U.R.S.'s booth.

I also invite you to like their facebook page - Click here to go to it.









Our buddy Jonathan Wilk from Team Squatchachusetts was also at the event.










I would also like to thank TCC team member Jason Morse for all the work he did getting ready for this event and the time he took to represent us.


Here is Jason with Shannon Silvia from Ghost Hunters International.


We have plans of participating in several other events this year. Please watch this page and our Facebook Page for details. If all goes well maybe some of you can stop by at some of these events and say hi to us.









Also a big thanks to the folks at Paranormal for Paws for having us on board this year. We wish them continued success.

Thanks
~Tom~

Westmoreland County, PA
I recently got this report of what could have been a possible Bigfoot in Westmoreland County, Pa. Over the years there has been numerous reports of Bigfoot in Pa.

Here is the report.

- Start Report - 

Name: Jessica
Email Address: On File
State: Pa
County: Westmoreland
Date of Sighting: Feb 2008?
Time of Day:
Nearest Town: Grapeville
Length of Sighting:
How many Witnesses:
Any Photos/Videos: Used to be
Describe sighting in detail:

We take our dog around the side to the back of the house to relieve himself.  One night I took him, a purebred German Shepard.  The backyard is very dark, no lights.  He stopped right at the edge of the light from the street, hackles went up from tip to tail.

He began a very low, deep growl and began backing up.  It scared me and caught me off guard.  I asked him what was wrong as he was pacing like a lion in a cage would do, his gaze fixed on one spot.  I began shaking, wondering if we were about to be attacked, by what?  I hadn't a clue.  My ears were filled with my own fear so I don't remember hearing anything but my dog growling.  I yelled, "I'm going to let him go and can't be held responsible for what he will do to you!"

Then my dog, proving me a liar, turned tail and ran to the front.  How I kept up, I still don't know.  He got to the front door and pawed and whined at it until we got inside.  I told my hubby, but got the usual "you're crazy woman".

It was forgotten about until two days later when we had a few inches of snowfall overnight.  I went to our dining room to look out over the backyard to the snow and noticed a very odd line of tracks.

They were long, three toed, with broad steps.  It appeared to be made by something with 2 legs the way they were laid out.  I know bunny tracks, I know cat and dog tracks.  These looked nothing like those. They were too big, toes too spaced out, too deep.  Even my hubby was stumped.  We did take cellphone pics, unfortunately those pics were lost with the phone.

 I'd forgotten about it for a year or more, until our local community college, WCCC had its first ufo/bigfoot conf.  There I met Stan Gordon and on his display table I was so excited I couldn't speak!
The exact same tracks we had witnessed!  I asked him where he got those, and truly sounded like a babbling idiot.  He perked up when I told him where we lived.  Then he proceeds to tell us about the great Bigfoot scare of the 70's in Grapeville!  I nearly fainted!

 I've never seen those type of tracks since.  The only other time our dog acted like that was in Grafton WV camping in my moms trailer.  He fixated, growled, paced and I couldn't get him to come til he turned tail and ran again.  I immediately ran inside and locked the door.  Whether it was a bear or bigfoot, I really didn't want to encounter either alone.  Just thought I'd share, thanks!

- End Report -

Thanks to Jessica for the cool story. It sure sounds like you might have got a visit from a Bigfoot. It's a shame the photos were lost.


Thanks

Attempt To Return To Game Cam Spot Of Bigfoot Photo

Okay, so after releasing my Game Cam photo of Bigfoot, I got some "good job" comments and some negative comments but someone made the suggestion that I return to the spot or something to that effect.

So when I recently went out to set my game cams and do a little field research I thought I would attempt to find the exact spot I had the game camera.

It's been about 2 years now and I have been in this general area many, many times but trying to the exact spot proved to be a little difficult and somewhat frustrating.

Here is a video of my efforts.

Bigfoot Field Research (4/18/2015) - Strange sound

While out doing field research and setting up game cams on 4/18/15, I had an unusual event happen.
I have never had any howls or whoops in this area. I have had a few things that were easy to identify - like an owl or the squawk of a bird.

This was the opening day of the turkey season and on the mountain across from me someone fired a shotgun twice and then let out a loud yell of excitement. I'm assuming the person got himself a turkey. Well, during this time I was setting up my last game cam, I was just finishing up and on my side of the mountain, up above me and to the right, came a very odd sound.

The best way I can describe it is that it started out sounding like an owl and as the sound continued it turned into a coyote sound. I did have my GoPro camera running at the time but I have the waterproof housing on it and it didn't pick up the sound. So, what I did was quickly get out my handheld camera and sit down, and hope it happened again. Sadly it didn't, but I have created a short video of the events as they happened. This was my reaction right after the sound.

A nice little stream

Bigfoot Field Research (4/18/2015)

I finally got a chance to get back out in my research area, an area I like to call Area 1.
It had been about 3 months ago that I was in this area, so I was ready to get out there.

This took place on 4/18/15.

Of course, the mountains are always beautiful, and being out there alone just seems good for the soul.
My purpose of going out was to set up several game cams, and scope out the area to see if anything new had happened the other reason was to attempt to find the exact spot where the game cam was set when I got the picture of the bigfoot. There will be a separate post about that, this is just a general overview of some of the areas and some of what I did.

I thought it would be best to just share a quick video to should you some of the areas and some of my thoughts.

Here is the video.

Cool item.

Back about 2 weeks or so ago, I was searching on ebay for me a bigfoot t-shirt because all I really have is the TCC ones. While doing some searches I ran across an unusual bigfoot item. It was a homemade, hand written and stapled together bigfoot book. It only contained 36 pages and has pictures that were ran off on a printer and pasted into the book. The book documents a family's Bigfoot sightings and their own efforts at researching the creature and finding evidence.

Needless to say, I actually purchased the unusual item and now have it in my collection. I thought  I would share some of it with our readers and supporters.






Here is a page from the book. Under the photo it says "the landlord's cattle fencer. I saw a bigoot step right over the fence." The book has several photos of "nest" and even some pictures of  tracks and food gifts left out.











Here is another page and if you click on the picture you should be able to read what is written above the photo. I have to say, I have enjoyed the little book. It is pretty good reading and I like the fact it is unique. 









 

The very back of the book is filled with questions. Questions that are attempted to be answered in the book.

This all happened in the fall of 2001 in western Kentucky.
Best I can make out the book was written by The Zion Family.

Towards the end of the book they talk about UFO over the cattle fields and mutilations.

They also talk about some other books they written that was sold or published.



I have never heard about this family or this Bigfoot book but I have enjoyed it and will add it out my small archive of Bigfoot stuff.

I just wanted to share this weird little find I stumbled upon. If anyone has more information about this family or these reports, I'd be glad to hear about them.

Thanks
~Tom~

Yes, this is a real Bigfoot.

Real Game Cam Photo Of Bigfoot! (Update)

Ok, I know this has the potential to get bad feedback but I have finally decided to release the game cam photo I got of a real Bigfoot. I have never released it like this but it was in my super low-budget documentary Bigfoot Tracking A Legend.  To really get the full story and how this all came about you need to watch the film, it is on youtube and on Amazon.com.

First, let me be clear that the date on the game cam is off. This was the first time I had used this particular game cam and it was new. The photo above was actually taken sometime in late Aug. in 2013.

I know the photo itself may not convince anyone but if you add up the sightings, the tracks I found, the stick structures, the broken limbs, and the personal experiences I had while researching in this area, then it might.  I know it is a Bigfoot

I guess it would be easier to tell about this in a short video ...so I made one and offer some info and the before-game cam photo. I will still share some of the enhanced photos below.

Here is the video:

Another Bigfoot sighting in New Hampshire


I have 2 Bigfoot sightings to share. They were submitted by the same person but I will post them in a way to keep confusion down.

Here is #1 that happened in New Hampshire.


I got this sighting report from Bigfoot researcher Jay Haas a few days ago. As some you my know, I recently did an interview with Jay. You can read that interview by Clicking Here!

On the map above I have used the color yellow to indicate the creek and the color blue to indicate the 275th ave road. Both the road and creek continue north on the picture, this sighting took place somewhere along the road.

Here is the report.

- Start Report -

Name: Jay Haas
Email Address: On File
State: Iowa
County: lee
Date of Sighting: august 27, 2000
Time of Day: nite.full low bright moon
Nearest Town: Sandusky Iowa
Length of Sighting: 3 minutes
How many Witnesses: 2 others (3 total)
Any Photos/Videos: Possible clan pic taken at exact same location in 2007
Here is the photo Jay shared:


Describe sighting in detail:
At approximately 12:30 am, 2 friends and I arrived at the lamalees creek on county road 275th avenue. We parked on the left side of the road, facing northwest.
We stopped to relieve ourselves and were then standing next to my car, in between the car and the side of the road talking for about 20 minutes. When we all heard a limb snap very close to the car from the wooded area next to the car. All of us heard it.We stopped talking for a few moments wondering what it was. Our conversation resumed and shortly after something small landed on the hood of the car. I was closest and turned my head and watched it slide off the hood on to the ground. I don't remember what it was. A stick, maybe, the car was parked under a over hanging tree we still didn't think much of it.

It was a nice nite with a very bright low hanging moon. Everything had a blueish tint to it. I told my two friends lets walk down to the creek{lamalees} which was behind us, 60 feet. On both sides of the creek are 2 abandoned rock quarries, one dating to at least 1900, the other, 30years later. A truss bridge with wooden planks used to bridge the creek, removed, it is now a convect concrete dip, with 3 large pipes running under it. In high water, 4 feet, it flows over the concrete. I told the guys there were craw fish on the east side of it and a rock shelve like water fall we should go check out.

We crossed the road directly behind my car and were walking on the opposite side of the road to the creek crossing. In a single file line I was the last, and at the rear as we walked. We began to hear splashing in the water, to our right as we approached .Suddenly my 2 friends stopped in their tracks. My view was blocked by them, still hearing the splashing in the creek getting closer, I walked to my left, and around to the front of both friends to see what was making the splashing. I observed first a very tall upright figure walking with its arms and hands to its sides, the water was probably between its knee and ankles deep. It was crossing our path walking directly to our right coming closer. I noticed the next thing is it appeared to have no neck. It was black in color. I noticed it had very long arms that were kept to its side. It was probably with in 40 feet of us, almost directly in front to our right almost ready to step up on to the concrete convex pad of the bridge when it saw us.

The moon lit it up, overhead, it swung its head and its eyes glowed red, all in one motion, it did and about face, like a soldier and it walked back the way it came down the creek. My 2 friends ran to the car, and were yelling lets Go! I couldn't. I walked down to the concrete pad and stood on the edge with my lighter above my head flicking it. I don't remember seeing the eyes again, but I could see its silhouette as it stood 100 feet down the creek along a tall rock shelf which is the edge of the creek. It stood there again, like a soldier, hands to its side, stomping its feet back and forth in the water as it stood facing, and watching me. I finally went to the car and we left.

-End Report-

A big thanks to Jay for sharing his sighting. I have now heard several reports of Bigfoot being in creeks and streams.

Thanks

About a month or so ago I was contacted again by producers for the hit TV show Finding Bigfoot.
They were interested in reports that we had taken from the New Hampshire area.

I was able to provide a good sum of information and pointed out we had a TCC team member in NH.

After it was all said and done Team member Jason Morse and one of our witnesses was invited to the town hall meeting.

After the meeting, Jason and said witness was invited back the next day. We can not comment any further on filming or anything, but we can share some photos and hear what Jason had to say about the experience.

Here is what Jason had to say:

 

".....the whole cast and crew were nothing but friendly and polite. Cliff was even nicer and more genuine in person, Ranae was funny, super nice........"


Jason with Cliff Barackman.

Back in 2014, I did an interview with Cliff. He was super nice. Check out the interview by Clicking Here!











Jason with Renae. Jason had this to say "......Both he (Cliff) and Ranae were really awesome."











 

Here is Jason with Matt Moneymaker.  Jason had this to say about Matt "...........Matt was really a nice guy"


I think sometimes Matt gets a little bit of a bad rap but he really has provided a lot information via the BFRO website.











And no visit with the cast of Finding Bigfoot would be complete without everyone's favorite member, BoBo.

Jason said ".... Bobo was ..... nice as well.."


Jason also had this to say "....In fact, all the cast knew about us (TCC), which was cool."











So, in the end Jason had a great time and I'm glad he was there to represent our Team.
We have no idea if Jason will actually make it on TV or not or if we will even be mentioned in any way but it was a good experience nonetheless. 

I can only hope the information our team provided is useful and that it adds value to the Finding Bigfoot show. We of course can not talk about the details of the show due to NDA but of course we think it has the potential to be the best one so far. (lol)

Thanks to the producers and cast of Finding Bigfoot for showing us respect and a good time.


Thanks
~Tom~
