The author, in his book "The Hoopa Project" brought forth a couple of theories that some may embrace and others take difference with.

The first one is that Bigfoot is a ridge runner, traveling from place to place on ridges instead of down in valleys or along mountain sides. Personally I don't have a problem with this theory but very little historical evidence points to this being the case. This behavior may also go directly against the animals penchant for going unobserved.

The second theory is that Bigfoot can dissappear by climbing trees and hiding up there from view. This opens the flood gates for a whole line of people I think. You be the judge. What is it? Taken from an amateur video.

Is the video available for viewing somewhere? looks like a kitten in a shrub from this picture

It was on the local news last night up in the Seattle area.

After they pulled the suit from the freezer, they tossed it up in a tree...

Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!

DDA, if this was on the local news last night it should be on the station website sometime today. Do you have the link for that?

It was on channel 5, which is KING I think. But it was recorded the night Fringe aired this week. The video shown lasted about 5 seconds of the thing moving around on the limb, swinging it's legs and body from side to side. No it is not a costume.

It is a bear. Could look like something else though huh!?

The point though is we have a theory that may start getting a lot of attention, what with a new book talking about Native American beliefs in Bigfoot hiding or dissapearing into tree canopies. Someone else will get some video like this and say it is a Bigfoot.

This is something that needs to be documented so that eyewitnesses can look at the picture after claiming to have seen a bigfoot in a tree or climbing one, or when news agencies come around and ask the experts about bigfoot in trees, etc... and we pull this out and show it to be nothing but a bear, not a bigfoot. We all look smarter and on top of our game here.

Ignore it and you will have the Biscardi/Marx effect again.

Looked. Can't find the video on their site.

Checked. Was on Q Fox13 Tuesday evening.

Man, their site sucks. I can't find a thing...

I'd guess it was a black bear with it's back to the photographer. I can see the pad of it's right rear foot, and even part of the pad of the left rear foot.




I would agree with you, but I've come across sign of bears doing the same thing (mostly brown bears).

I suspect they like ridges at night. Scent from both sides of the ridge may be more detectable that way.



I suspect sasquatches use trees more than has been considered by most researchers.

I agree with you 100% on that. We all have to be uber-suspicious and show the same objectiveness that skeptics show in light of the recent fiasco. I have often wondered about their ability to traverse through trees. We have all heard reports of possible infants or smaller ones being sighted in trees but I wonder if a full grown Sasquatch has too much girth to be climbing trees. Of course this depends on what part of the country you are talking about. The PNW has trees plenty large enough for a full grown Sasquatch to climb. I would think it would be a different story in Texas and the South maybe I'm wrong.

Assuming they have superior sight and hearing I wonder if ridges would give them a better vantage point to find game or prey. Maybe it would also be a better vantage point to carry and hear the sound of wood knocks and calls.
