It Appears The Erickson Project has taken down their website at sasquatchthequest.com - Rumor is that the project is pulling out of the whole sasquatch project for the time being due to Adrian Erickson becoming frustrate about "experts" backpedaling when it comes to support for the project - because of fear of ridicule by their "peers".
So now we must ask what about the videos of Matilda the bigfoot? What will happen to them? will they be released at all now?
There has been some who have already seen these videos and here is some info about them.
*the videos are in High Definition
*The second video is the amazing one that only a few special people got to see. It is 14 seconds of a closeup HD footage of Matilda’s face.
*The sleeping bigfoot picture was part of a 5 minute clip, towards the end, she starts to become alarmed at something, and then she starts to wake up.
This sighting has never been reported until now. This is a person I personally know and can say that in all the years I've known them they have always been a honest and a down to earth type of person.
This person is also a Christian and a respected member of the community.
They have ask to remain anonymous for fear of public Ridicule and to not bring attention to themselves.
This sighting took place around hwy 92 in bell co,KY. The Cumberland river is only about 2 miles from the actual sighting area and there is a creek run within 200 yards of the sighting area. This is a very compelling story.
What if there was a second creature in the Patterson footage? What if I can show you there's a very good possibility that there is a second creature in the footage? What are the chances of Patterson being able to create 2 suits that look just alike? (Not possible) Could it be 2 guys in 2 suits? (NO, don't think so) This video shows that there is a real possibility of a second creature. There could even be a third creature, notice the dark shadow in front of the one we highlighted.
Many things to consider in the never-ending saga of the Patterson footage. Some high points include: - was Patterson stupid enough not to pay Bob H.? Would he risk not paying the"guy in the suit"? or would he have paid him in an effort to keep the "hoax" going? - A suit has never been recovered from the film - "Suit" has not been reproduced even with today's material. - A closer look at the footage. - and much more.
"Ok, for the sake of time ( and I hope all of you understand), I will answer everyone publicly here. I keep getting a lot of emails from everyone wanting to know the status of the project. Though I cannot give details or timing, I will assure everyone that all is well and we are continuing to move forward.
Good science cannot be forced or quickly completed. If it is not extremely thorough, then it will all be for naught and any paper rejected outright. So, I ask you to be patient and understanding and realize that extreme scientific overkill is required in order to convince a world full of skeptical scientists.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof". This is what we are doing. When we started this, I thought we would be finished in a few weeks, but instead as Sasquatch are known to do, they threw us curve balls even with their DNA which can be as elusive as they are. Thank goodness we are past that!
As a result, we have assembled a renowned team, each of us with our own specialties to make this project "extraordinary". If everyone will hang in there, I promise it will be worth the wait. We have the proof, now just give us the opportunity to present it in a form that will even convince skeptics. Thanks so much for all of your emails and support. Best wishes to all."
TCH - Finally someone talks that might really know something about the DNA.

Yakini,the gorilla,who weights around 245 pounds,received a check-up from vets on Oct. 28.
Animal experts sedated the 12-year-old ape and gave him a thorough examination -- even clipping his nails -- before moving him to a new exhibit at the Werribee Open Range Zoo, near Melbourne.
This isn't Yakini's first trip to the doctor.
When the infant ape was birthed by Caesarean section in November, 1999, he wasn't breathing and his heart was hardly beating, according to The Daily Mail.
Placed under close watch by veterinarians, Yakini managed to pull through, capturing the world's attention in the process.
The gorilla matured into a popular fixture in his enclosure in the Melbourne Zoo -- but he might be best known for the time he spent outside of it.
In 2009, Yakini climbed out of his enclosure using a palm frond and briefly escaped. He strolled around the zoo while officials herded visitors into a gift shop to keep them safe, according to The Courier Mail.
Zookeepers reportedly shot Yakini with a tranquilizer and returned him to his enclosure.
In his latest move, Yakini won't be alone. His half-brother, Ganyeka, and his silverback father, Motaba, were also shipped in crates by truck to their new enclosure, which opens to the public on Nov. 7.

Sierra Kills driver speaks up!
On October 8, 2010, what went down near Gold Lake CA on that day was something two people will never forget. Two bear hunters pulled up to a road between a canyon and saw a Bigfoot standing right in front of them. It was odd looking at first because they thought it was a bear waving its arms in the air. The driver of the vehicle pulled out his binoculars and couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Yes I had my binoculars that is what made it even more strange they were set up for classing mountain sides so it was fuzzy at first but when I cleared them it felt like my heart sank and I did not realize what I was looking at I would say it took a double take but I couldn't take my eyes off of it," the driver said.
But for whatever reason, his friend Justin pulled the trigger on the beast and it crashed into the brush near the side of the road. Two of her babies came out onto the road chasing after their mother on all four, this was unlike their mother who ran on two legs, bipedal. And for some unknown reason, maybe for the fun of it or for the fear it, Justin shot one of "the babies" as it was looking for its mother. Justin walked up to grab the baby as it dies in his arms. He realizes what he had just done. The driver was furious and both left the scene of the crime. It was a crime, that's how some people would describe this horrific event after hearing their story.
What is bigfoot? That is a question that has been ask for a long time now and many theories have been put forth. I want to explore some of the more popular theories and offer some of the more unusual ones as well. Please continue and I hope you enjoy the reading.
Theories - Primate Theory -
The primate theory is the belief that bigfoot/sasquatch is just a yet undiscovered or unknown primate that belongs to the ape family. Bigfoot has been described in reports as a large hairy ape-like creature. Many point to fossil records and claim that bigfoot is related to Gigantopithecus blacki which was a species of the largest apes that ever lived, standing up to almost 10 foot tall. Many researchers and bigfooters are behind this theory and think bigfoot is some type of ape creature.
Evolutionary Theory -
This can also be called the "missing link" theory. Some think that bigfoot is the missing link in the evolutionary chain. That bigfoot is in a transitional form, a step just below or in between human and ape. I have seen,heard and read this info from many researchers and it is one of the more popular theories.
Neanderthal Theory -
This theory promotes the idea that bigfoot is a small race of Neanderthal man that has managed to survive all these years. That they have the intelligences to live and hide as they are smarter than other creatures living in the forest. This makes me wonder if it really is a group of Neanderthals then why have they not discovered fire yet? One could assume that if they are already using fire it would be almost impossible for them to stay hid. To me this theory has some holes in it.
Lost Tribe Theory -
The lost tribe theory is a theory that a small tribe of Indians kept hide for years from everyone,totally undiscovered. As time continued they were forced to resort to inbreeding,which led to a mutation that produced a hairy beast that is now known as bigfoot. That this lost tribe is still around today,inbreeding and making more sasquatch. To me this theory has some holes., for one if bigfoot was a lost Indian tribe then they should still have the tools that Indians have used in many years past.They should still be using bows,arrows,tomahawks and more,but yet there is no reports of any of these tools found in or around past sighting. So to me this theory is not answer to the question at hand.
Other Theories that seem kind of far fetched to most people.
Cain Theory -
That bigfoot is the Cain talked about in the bible. This theory comes from the Mormon church. According to the theory, "the mark" God placed on Cain is his fearsome appearance, which serves the dual purpose of making people afraid of him, and thereby rendering him safe from being killed.
Inter dimensional Theory -
This theory,which is supported by many, states the bigfoot is able to travel in and out of other dimensions at will. They point to the fact that bigfoot seems to disappear and is hard to find and record.
Alien Theory -
This theory leans towards bigfoot being either an alien itself or being placed here by aliens to live and possible report on human behavior. There has been reports of UFOs and bigfoot sighting in the same areas and at roughly the same times.
So I hope you have found this information interesting. I'm sure if you search around you can find many more theories concerning bigfoot.
Now if I could put forth my personal thoughts on what bigfoot really is or could be. I'm no expert by any means and I don't claim to be.
I'm in the group of the Creationist, who think that all things were created by a creator (God), but with that said I also believe in evolution of species, Meaning that things evolve but they do not evolve into another species. For example lets take a rat, over time it may evolve in some ways to adapt to its environment or living conditions. It may grow a shorter or longer tail,bigger or smaller ears,change color or something like that but it will never evolve into a Pony.
So I tend to lean towards bigfoot being a undocumented primate of some sort.
Recently some DNA claims have been made that bigfoot has 100 percent human DNA. This is not surprising to me. For many years now it has been known that Humans and chimpanzees are Nearly 99 percent alike in genetic makeup, so if bigfoot DNA has been tested and it comes back close to human DNA it should not be a big surprise. My best guess would be that considering what we already know about Chimp and Human DNA, that bigfoot DNA is very close to Human DNA, say maybe 99.9 percent. This does not prove a "missing link" theory as we already know about established DNA results of Humans and Chimps. If the results in Humans and Chimps are true, I assume they are, then it only shows what a difference 1 percent can make.
Regardless of which theory you support we should all be able to agree that bigfoot is worthy of more research and study.
According to TAPS founding members Grant Wilson and Jason Hawes there is some things to look fot that may increase your chances of seeing a ghost or having paranormal activity.
Here is what they say to look for in finding a good place:
- Running water
- Railroad tracks
- limestone
Still, Wilson and Hawes are quick to point out that while a ghost is a sign of paranormal activity, not all paranormal activity is a ghost.
"Paranormal activity is anything above the norm of what we are used to," said Hawes, who, with Wilson, works as a plumber for Roto-Rooter in New England.
Well, I guess first let me say that overall I really liked the 2 hours special last night- finding bigfoot birth of a legend, but with that said there were some things that I also didn't like.
I was under the impression that the FB team was going to study and analyze the famous Patterson film,but instead we got an lazy attempt at a recreation and a lazy analysis, but at least they did point out the fact you can see muscle mass and movement in the creature and it was good to here Gimlin tell the story.
My next problem with the show was with the Marble mountain footage. Yes it was great to get someone who was there during the filming and to here them speak about what really happen, but in yet another lazy attempt at investigating and research the FB crew elected NOT to go to the actual mountain where the creature was filmed to do their recreation. This is totally unacceptable, they could have sent Cliff, he is by far in the best shape of the whole lot of them. If they had went to where the creature actually came down the mountain then we would know a lot more about it , like how tall it really was. With the way the FB team handled the Marble mountain footage one has to assume that it was only a person walking down the mountain side as we have no idea how big the creature was or how rough the terrain really is,thanks to a lazy crew.
Next the FB team spent a few days and nights looking for bigfoot, it was a pretty good hunt and they had some things happen. The problem is that a couple of times they heard what they said was a whistle, well that is great, but why not replay the whistle and give the people watching the show a chance to hear it? They said they heard some yells but again no replay of the yell...but in the end it was a pretty good show.
Matt Moneymaker came off as a lot less of a Jerk last night and that is a big improvement to say the least. He kind of hates me but that's ok, I can still respect him,the show and his efforts.
Ranae Holland - did her first bigfoot scream last night and it was a good highlight of the show,Nice Job Ranae!
Cliff Barackman - spent time alone,sleeping on a mat, in the mountains and searching for bigfoot. It was very dangerous.
as for Bobo he came off as lovable as ever and he always get to play bigfoot during the recreations.
So if i was using a rating scale of 1-10 I would rate the show at about a 7 . I still have high hopes for the upcoming season and can't wait to watch. Good Luck FB team.

TCH - A new Youtube video has been posted up and it was the first video these people posted and they claim they are about to capture a live bigfoot. We will admit the footage looks pretty good,the thing looks big and makes a big jump but we really have our doubts about the whole video and the posters.
Here is what the descriptions in the video says:
" If you don't believe in Bigfoot yet then get ready. We have secretly been stalking this particular Bigfoot for weeks. We can guarantee we will have him trapped by Christmas. We are giving full permission to use this video anyway you want. However, this video wont be as impressive when we have this guy caged at the local zoo. We don't really care if you believe or not. By Christmas the first Sasquatch will be in captivity. For obvious reasons we can not disclose any information right now as far as location. Doubt this video all you want. We know what we have seen, we know where he is, we know his patterns, he will be caught. We almost had him on Oct. 4th but some of our trapping equipment malfunctioned. Plus this guy is extremely strong. He is slightly wounded and is walking with a limp and we will do our best not to harm him any further. Here is the deal- We are business men that have hunted exotic animals all over the world. We would like to make sure this and other videos we possess are viewed by as many people as possible. The more views, the more videos we post."
TCH - So what do you think?

2nd edition copy (1975) of the Atlas, in the Clark College, Vancouver, WA, library.
There has been many questions about bigfoot, is it real? is it all a hoax?
It seems that back in the 70's the u.s. government kind of confirmed that bigfoot was indeed a real creature. While some will always reject any info I could post or just say it's all a hoax, this infomation should be consider and looked at. This is a big post so please take the time to read it and comment.
In July 1975, The Washington Star-News report: Though conceding that his existence is "hotly disputed," the Army Corps of Engineers has officially recognized Sasquatch, the elusive and supposed legendary creature of the Pacific Northwest mountains. Also known as Big Foot, Sasquatch is described in the just-published "Washington Environmental Atlas" as standing as tall as 12 feet and weighing as much as half a ton, covered with long hair except for face and hands, and having "a distinctive human-like form." The atlas, which cost $200,000 to put out, offers a map pin pointing all known reports of Sasquatch sightings, and notes that a sample of reputed Sasquatch hair was analyzed by the FBI and found to belong to no known animal.
With Halloween just around the corner, one Indiana family is starting to feel like they're living in a haunted house after discovering bones, embalming tools and gruesome photos of the dead in their attic.
"I won't stay by myself," Patricia Booher told The Huffington Post. "I have an uneasy feeling. I don't know what it is. I've tried to stay here but I can't."
Booher and her husband, Richard, recently moved into their home in Knightstown, a small town about 40 miles east of Indianapolis. On Monday, they were looking in the attic of for a place to store their air conditioner when they made the first of a series of bizarre discoveries.
"There were boxes of stuff in there. We thought it was knickknacks or some old dishes someone had left," Booher said. "When [Richard] started pulling the stuff out, we found a box of empty disinfectant bottles and a wooden crate full of bottles of embalming fluid. Then he pulled out a suitcase that was full of embalming equipment -- hoses and stuff."
The more the family looked through the boxes, the creepier their finds became.
"There were knives in a case that folded out, scalpels, scissors and things they work on people with," Booher continued. "Then we found pictures of dead people -- before and after pictures of them being worked on, a projector with similar films and a skeleton."
The skeleton and the collection of morbid items concerned the family enough that they contacted the Knightstown Police Department. Officers took photos of the items and examined the bones.
"The skeleton was determined to be a model -- like you would see on display in a doctor's office or a school classroom," Knightstown Police officer Anthony Lorton told The Huffington Post.
While police examined the other items, Booher and her family got curious and began digging around in their basement and backyard.
"My daughter, son and niece found a few bones in the basement. Then we found four more pieces: a hip joint, vertebra, index finger bone and a rib bone," Booher said.
So far, the findings have been frightening -- but they haven't aroused suspicions of foul play, according to police.
"The bones found in the cellar have been ruled out as animal bones," Lorton said. "We took the others to [the anthropology department at] Ball State University to be tested to see what they are. That will be done Friday."
Booher said family members are continuing to dig in the backyard today.
"I'm not saying the person who put this stuff here was a bad man. I just want to know why it was left here. Why are there bones here? You have to honor the dead," Booher said.
Whether the most recent bones are human is yet to be seen, but Lorton said he thinks he may have some explanation for the scary discoveries.
"The story we are getting is that there was a gentleman who was renting to own the property and up and left it, along with a lot of his stuff at the house," he said. "So that is probably where all that stuff came from."
The photos of dead people appear to be from the 1970s and 1980s, the officer said, and were likely taken by the person who performed their embalming.
"Look at them from the standpoint of an individual who is keeping a portfolio of his work," Lorton said. "To the everyday person, they are going to be disturbing to look at, but for a person trying to get a job at a funeral home, they are examples of his work."
Lorton added, "Is it creepy? Yes. Criminal? No."
As for the skeleton, the officer said he may have his own plans for it if the Boohers do not want it back.
"I am half tempted to put a hat on it and have it running radar," Lorton joked.
TCH - Here is what really gets me...the Police are acting like it's a normal thing for someone to work at a funeral home and bury people in their basement and tuck them away in an attic. At the very least it is abuse of a corpse and would be totally unethical. And then to joke about it. If them are real bones then they are someones loved one. This story is sad,spooky and unreal all at once.
