This is an interview with the director of the film Shooting Bigfoot. The film and story surrounding it is that a bigfoot was killed and it was all caught on film.
As the story goes the director, Morgan Mathews, was ran over and knocked down by the bigfoot and it was all caught on film.
In the interview he reveals there is no dead bigfoot and is unsure if the creature is even real. So this appears to be nothing more that a big hoax.

The Guys over at FBFB have posted this tiny sliver of a photo from the shooting bigfoot movie and have said that it is for sure not a mask and a real bigfoot.
How does the above photo compare to the creature in the tent video?
Is it the same? is it different? You can decide for yourself.
Now how does it compare to the artwork?
Do they all look enough alike to be the same creature? You can decide for yourself.
I wanted to share this because I know a lot of people wanted to see the actual creature from the film, so there it is ....how do you feel about it now? Does it change your mind?
Thanks

The reviews are starting to come in about Shooting Bigfoot and they are not good for the film or Team Tracker.
"What SHOOTING BIGFOOT allows us to do is spend time with the people behind the findings, and see them for the kooks, cons and crazies they really are. This is one wild film, and one of the best documentaries of the festival for certain. Bigfoot might still be out there. The beast likely still inspires believers and will continue to until its existence is conclusively proven or disproven. Matthews doesn’t purport to have any clear answers, and neither do I. One thing is for sure though – the four men profiled in this film sure don’t have any answers either."
Stories of Dyer supporters getting up and leaving the movie, reports of it being a bigfoot suit and reports of only about 30 seconds of bigfoot footage and no HD footage.
If all of this is true then one can only assume it has been a hoax.
Also the silence coming from FB/FB speaks volumes, they had it all riding on a bigfoot body.
Dyer did make a few comments during his Google hangout and pointed some of the blame, of lack of bigfoot footage, onto Morgan Matthews. Dyer went on to promise the bigfoot body would be shown on Aug. 15.
Another interesting note is that Dyer did not attend the showing, but he could have had good reasons.
Several months ago I was covering this story pretty hard and I broke the news of some of the details but as time went on and the story changed, I got a bad feeling about it. The more I heard and seen the more doubt I had, so I just basically dropped the story as I didn't want to get drawn into all the personal bashing and fighting. I also was attacked just for covering the story but I was trying to get details for everyone. In any case, I would like to apologize to anyone who feels I was unfair in my reporting or was purposely aiding in a hoax.
If this is for sure a hoax, and it appears to be, there are many players who might just be finished in the bigfoot community. Hoaxing in the bigfoot community seems to be at an all time high, which really hurts true bigfoot research.
I still don't think this is totally over with yet and expect it to linger on for a little while.
Maybe things will get a little bit back to normal and all the fighting will end over the next few weeks.
Have a great week!
Thanks

Eye Witness To The Seljord Serpent
Adam Davies Talks About The Latest Footage And His Own Encounter With The Creature
By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher
We were pretty excited about the new footage of Selma, the creature described as a giant eel that is said to inhabit the frigid waters of Seljord Lake in Norway.It’s the best footage yet of the creature. And I was also excited to remember I knew someone who said he’d actually seen the creature in the flesh.
Adam Davies, affectionately know by our team as the “Extreme Monster Hunter,” was on an expedition in Norway back in August of 1999 with a research team “comprised of Swedes, Brits, and a Belgian,” he told me. And he described to me what he saw that day.
“It rose to the surface about 15 feet from the small rowing boat I was in. It was black in color, and I could clearly see three humps as it traveled through the lake in an undulating motion. I never saw its head,” he explained.“But what was particularly interesting about it, was that it appeared to have some barbs on its spine, which look very like the old woodcuts.”
Adam was describing the old wood carvings that depicted the creature centuries ago when sea monsters were believed to inhabit the large bodies of water around the world. Selma, as the stories are told, would definitely fit that description. And if proved real, would allow us to believe that ancient sailors weren’t so crazy after all. It seems there has been plenty of activity in the lake to conclude the creature is real.
Adam also added, “The science behind it was very persuasive indeed. We dropped a hydrophone in the water, and the emissions we recorded were analyzed by the Marine Research Institute in Bergen.
Their conclusion: "It astounds me to say that this is a unique species! The serpent is a real, unique species.”
So I thought I’d show Adam this recent footage and hear his thoughts about it.
“The film is excellent,” he said.“And based on my experience, I would say that the young lady has witnessed one herself.”
And leave it to Adam and his team to paddle out into the middle of Seljord Lake in nothing more than a small rowboat in search of evidence of the creature. That’s why we love him, and that’s why we call him the “Extreme Monster Hunter.” *******DF
Here is the Recent Footage

New Sighting Of The Seljord Serpent?
By TCC Team Member Dorraine Fisher
Is this perhaps the best video footage yet of what’s believed to be the Seljord serpent.
Seljord Lake in Telemark County in Norway is well-known as the home of this legendary creature that has been said to have inhabited the lake for centuries. The first documented account was in 1750.
The creature is affectionately known there as Selma and is believed to be comparable to descriptions of The Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. It is most commonly described as a giant eel and has been seen on occasion rearing its head out of the water...that is by those who have dared to tell their tales. The majority sightings are believed to go unreported.
The Seljord serpent is also the only cryptid that monster hunter Adam Davies claimed to have actually seen in the course of his many hunting expeditions around the world.
This video, by 17-year-old Lisbeth VeFall on an unknown date, shows a serpent-like, possible "creature" undulating through the water very quickly. She claimed to have counted 40-50 humps. Could it really be?

Bigfoot fans enjoy watching TV reality shows revealing shocking proof
First you have to know "Bigfoot," as it’s commonly called, is a hot theme for Sasquatch fans the world over who tune in to their favorite TV reality show for updates on this hairy beast that’s often seen but not yet caught.
However, that may change when Spike TV launches a new 10-episode Bigfoot show that’s been dubbed "10 Million Dollar Big Foot Bounty." In fact, this new realty competition formatted television program will be offering one of the largest cash prizes in either Bigfoot or television history.
At the same time, there are still Bigfoot fans who remember the cult TV show "Bigfoot and Wildboy" that was featured in the late 1970’s as a children TV show on ABC.
The big TV show that many fans of Sasquatch enjoy watching is the popular Animal Plant program "Finding Bigfoot." This documentary styled TV services premiered in 2011, and is still drawing lots of viewers.
Above is the new poster for the film Shooting Bigfoot. This came from the Minnow Films website.
It is just a few days until the film will be shown, what will be the out come is anybody guess at this point. Will it Bang or Bust?
Here is a statement from Minnow Films:
"We are aware there has been a lot of speculation about this documentary. We will not be releasing any further information about the film prior to its screening at Hot Docs in Canada at the end of April. However, we can confirm that it includes Rick Dyer, Tom Biscardi, Dallas and Wayne, and it contains some fairly dramatic scenes filmed in the woods"
So I guess depending on what your view is of "fairly dramatic" is makes the world of difference.
I kind of lost interest in this whole story/film/event due to all the fighting and how the details of the story changed a little and at this point I will just be glad to get to finally see what is real and what is not real about the story.
The fighting has really went over the top with many personal attacks on all sides. I wonder, will any of them kiss and make up after it is all over? I would think some will and some will not or is some of it just part of the hype?
Recently a trailer was released for Shooting Bigfoot, which again brought many mixed and varied reviews/opinions.
Here is the trailer
In the end I will watch the movie, at some point, even if it turns out to be a hoax.
In my opinion Dallas and Wayne have been the most low key with their bigfoot researcher over the years and their other movie "Not your Typical Bigfoot Movie" was very entertaining for me.
Almost everyone has heard of Rick Dyer and Tom Biscardi and opinions vary about them but it is undeniable that both Dyer and Biscardi have large followings and followers.
So everyone get ready to either "eat crow" or say "I told you so" as Shooting Bigfoot is only a few days away.
Thanks

Turkeys in Maine have been found with a virus. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife tells WNSX the virus is called Lymphoproliferative Disease Virus (LPDV). It causes minor to extreme lesions on a turkey's head and legs and is thought to spread by skin contact or mosquito bites.
The disease poses no risk to humans, but there is a potential for bacterial infection if the bird is handled improperly. If you shoot a bird like the one pictured, IFW asks that you contact the Department of Public Safety in Augusta at (800) 452-4664 or Wildlife Biologist at one of the numbers listed below:
!! Strange Creature seen on Hwy. 119 in bell county !!
I first heard of this a few months ( couple of years ago now) back and have researched it on and off for the last few months. The following is from a forum and most of the posters do not use their real names.
Actual location where the creature was seen
Strange Creature seen on 119
Hawk - This morning about 10:00 I was going up 119 a little outside calloway was heading toward Harlan when I looked to my right in a field of the road were some cow's were grazeing a I saw something that I cant explaine, it was running across the field extreamily fast, it was gray in color and was running on two legs like a man but low to the ground and it had a head like a man and large body and moved very fast. I got a good look at it and I'm 49 years old and I have never seen anything like it, has anyone else seen this thing or anything else strange like i described? I'm really interested in finding out what the heck this was..
Yekra Player
Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films. Sirius
Sirius€ is a feature length documentary that follows Dr. Steven Greer -€“ an Emergency Medicine doctor turned UFO/ New Energy researcher – as he struggles to disclose top secret information about classified energy & propulsion techniques. Along the way, Dr. Greer investigates new technology and sheds light on criminal suppression. He accumulates over 100 Government, Military, and Intelligence Community witnesses who testify on record about their first-hand experiences with UFOs and with the cover-up.
In the course of his research Dr. Greer is asked to look at an amazing find: a humanoid specimen, 6 inches long from the Atacama Desert. Not until 2012 was he given permission to take bone samples and DNA from the specimen. At that same time a pre-eminent geneticist, hearing of this find, offered to do DNA testing. He enlisted an MD from the same university,- world renowned for his work with skeletal anomalies, to view the x-rays and CT scans. Their expertise along with Dr. Greer’€™s expansive knowledge of the subject bring more questions than answers. Where did this ‘€œAtacama Humanoid’€ come from? Are there others like it? What does it say about the origin of the human species?
While on this odyssey, the audience gains a whole new perspective on technology, human evolution, and clandestine organizations who have manipulated and controlled the public for centuries.

If you are a bigfooter, UFO hunter, Ghost hunter or just like to take pictures, you most likely use a camera with either a optical zoom or a digital zoom.
You may have never really thought about it very much but depending on whether your camera has a optical or digital zoom can really make a difference in your photographs.
First lets learn what these two zooms are and how they are different.
Optical Zoom is using lenses to enlarge the image. You push the zoom button and this normally extends or retracts the lens using an internal motor.
Optical zoom cameras are normally a little more bulky or heavy depending on the size of the zoom lens. Most of todays cameras are still small and light weight while still having a pretty good optical zoom.
Digital zoom which really started with video cameras but has crossed over to still cameras over the years is technically not really a zoom function. It simulates the image enlargement much the way you would if you had a picture on your computer and used software to enlarge it. In digital zoom cameras the image is enlarged with software rather with a extending a lens like optical zoom cameras.
So which one is better?
If you're looking to get the best, higher quality image then you should go with the Optical zoom camera. If you are taking pictures of something really far away you can even use a optical telephoto lens, they vary in sizes but can become pretty bulky and heavy.
A image that is enlarged/zoomed with a digital zoom camera has a greater risk of losing image quality and detail, but the higher the megapixel the less quality loss but there is still quality loss. If you are using a camera with digital zoom you are probably better off not using the zoom feature built into the camera and waiting until you have the photos on your computer and zoom them in with some photo software, there will be less quality loss.
Here is a couple of photo comparisons I pulled off of the internet.
I hope you found this short article helpful and always remember that the higher the megapixel the better regardless of whether you choose Optical or Digital zoom. Maybe this will help keep us from getting so many blobsquatch photos....nah it won't.
Good Luck!
Thanks

This is a post by TCC Team Member Dale Drinnon. Dale has a degree in Anthropology with a background in Zoology and Paleontology. Visit his Blog - Frontiers of Zoology
The Crypto Crew page recently had an article featuring this still from a video by Joe Black (Scott Carpenter) and when I saw it, it struck me that the facial section of it much resembled the facial skeleton of a Neanderthal man.
I hardly think this was accidental and it must have either been done as a deliberate copy or else it is a living creature that is presumably related. And it seems to have a thick bushy mop of hair on top of its head also. How large the mass of hair is is hard to tell.
Thanks
Dale

This photo was posted to facebook a few days ago by our friend JC Johnson. What is in the circle appears to be something scaling a mountain side. I had some extra time so I thought I'd try and zoom the photo in and see maybe what this could be. Photo is at Carrizo Mountains- 2005 - taken by JC Johnson.
Here is the cropped, zoomed and enhanced photo
I don't know if it really is something climbing the mountain side but it does have the shape of a human type figure.
If I had to guess I'd say it is probably a trick of light. One could go back to the spot and take another picture and the mystery could be solved.
Here is what JC had to say about the photo : Jc Johnson - "Went back with Chief Dan a couple of weeks later. We did not see the same anomaly....we will be going back up to the Carizzo Mountains as soon as the snow melts. Just so everyone knows, this mountain range is in Arizona."
Thanks goes to JC Johnson for sharing the photo and we can't wait to see what his return trip yields.
Thanks
