Another one in PA...

tirademan

This is one of those reports that I feel probably started as a "legitimate" find, but which ballooned into farce by way of the skeptics explanations!

Who knows...

tirademan

and more eyewitnesses...

tirademan

more in WA...

tirademan

and another...

tirademan

Cripple foot appears...

tirademan

Lake monsters, panthers and Sasquatch!

As a side note...I've found MANY MANY MANY stories regarding lake/sea monster, panther, cougar, and possible UFO sightings in my searches for the hairy people...

I just don't really have the time to save/organize/edit/chop it all...I'm just trying to focus as I'm already swamped!

Anyway, if anyone has something SPECIFIC with dates names, etc. they want me to search the newspaper archives for, let me know...

tirademan

I believe this is still Cripplefoot...

tirademan

I'd already posted this story before, but this is a better copy of it...and relates to the previous WA timeline...

tirademan

The Smithsonian takes a crack...

tirademan

Grover in Ohio...

tirademan

This is interesting...

The Sasquatch "has been officially recognized by the Army Corps of Engineers."



tirademan

"Monsters and Mythic Beasts" and the (apparently) dead brothers MacLeod!

tirademan

Speaking of mythic beasts...

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE refrain from a thread hi-jack?

I'm posting these next 2 because I thought they provide some HISTORICAL background, not because I wanted to debate the merit of the very normal theories described!...end of tirade!

tirademan

...well, mostly normal...at that time.

tirademan

Now this is VERY COOL...anyone have/seen one of these sculptures?

tirademan

Military dude shaken up. Todd Neiss (sp?) saw a group there, I think...

tirademan

Ray Pickens and those ubiquitous wooden feet!

In all three sizes nonetheless! But wait, isn't his timeline a little off?

Boy, that sounds familiar!

tirademan

Another general fluff piece of the times...

tirademan

Grover article...

tirademan

It's probably a good thing he never finished the copter!

tirademan

And a Paul Freeman article...

tirademan

OK, more on the MacLeod brothers. Headless? Or bones found in 1908?

tirademan

Searching on "beast" and found a few more in the more recent history pile. This one in the middle of LA! Guess I should get down in the sewers!

tirademan

...but I guess a smelly vagrant is an easier answer!

tirademan

There was a much earlier post that referenced this one...

tirademan

This one was also reference with an earlier post I believe...

tirademan

And China's search was on...

tirademan

This is truly becoming a great collection of Media.

Thanks Tirademan Good reads....
Fill the BFF with alot of these and folks will read for hours.
Continue.....

I would love to see a massive collection of newspaper accounts like these, as well as photo comparisons of real apes with the PG film together with the history of costumes and hoaxes through the years in a single big book or DVD.

Excellent material triademan.

Thanks for the thanks!

I'm wading through a bunch of "newer" finds and pixel pushing in Photoshop to cut them out.

But I'm STILL working on the Quark "book" compilation which I will make available in one format or another...even if it's passing copies around to Xerox.

Here's a shot of my "very rough" 1st version. The title will change. I'm breaking it out state by state, chronologically. I think I'll need to add a complete "chronological" list in the back so it's easier to see the "timeline" of them all.

I just have to resist searching for more...

tirademan

I think you've put too much time/effort to give it away.
You and bipto should work something out, say a $5 donation to BFF and the cost of photocopying......then, we can get a copy.
I'd pony up, in a heartbeat, it's a great collection of relevant media.

Here's the next round...I'm still wading throught the pile. More interesting stuff though! Starting with the Fouke monster...

tirademan

Interesting to see how these stories develop over time...here's some movie notes


tirademan

More movie stuff...

tirademan

And a good review...

tirademan

Oh, ya gotta love the skeptics...even in the early days, they KNEW what people were seeing!

tirademan

Interesting children's book subject! 1972, anyone ever hear of it?

tirademan

I'm pretty sure this has been concluded as not quite the real thang...(?)

tirademan

Yes, aren't we all looking for this!

tirademan

And another mention of it...

tirademan

I've posted about this one before...another story regarding it...

tirademan

Interesting! Mange?

tirademan

Interesting stuff from the Ruby Creek 1942 incident!

tirademan

Ahh yes, the classic "white sheet turns into hairy monster" rube!

tirademan

Three legged?

tirademan

Ol Three Leg's foot size...

tirademan

Maybe Henry wasn't crazy! More witnesses 2 years later!

tirademan

1952 mystery animal with a little one! Striding and couldn't see how it's legs worked...hmmmm, sounds familiar.

tirademan

Yeti fluff piece...
