Diseases and Bigfoot

Either adversarial or companion, the two sides of Sasquatch and dogs do seem symbiotic if not complex but that’s our interpretation and I’ll admit that is far as we know or understand about them manly because there is still little known about them. Of about 1,400 reports from a North American perspective the U. S. and Canada cases specific to carcasses that I’ve looked at easily show a vast majority of man’s best friend take the brunt of Bigfoot’s often fickle behavior.
Dogs are territorial and ferociously loyal to a fault and they will defend, or attempt to defend their (family) meaning, man, woman or child with their life and many have died demonstrating their unbridled willingness to defend their family or companion. In my opinion Sasquatches view dogs as an annoyance and a direct threat to their infant babies second only to bears and they will destroy them if needed. Black bears are a favorite staple of Sasquatches and dogs are eaten but, Sasquatches show no tolerance for bears and kill them and eat as opposed to dogs who they can tolerate them but do not kill them to eat as often as other animals. There have been a few instances where Sasquatches have been observed in the company of dogs or wolves too either as pets or for companionship. Like dogs, Sasquatch will easily dispatch wolves if they threaten or harm their offspring. —————— Below are example illustrations of Dog and Sasquatch interactions: Dogs left outside barking and

Guest Post by Stewart Taylor. Stewart enjoys sharing with interested folks about what he has been fortunate with obtaining. To teach and convey these subjects are a forest people living among us.
Throughout world history and legends, there are documented accounts of ordinary men coming in contact with humanoid giants of various sorts. The Titans, Ogres and Trolls are just a few of many widely used examples. There are also similar records contained within various religious documentations. For one, the Christian Bible clearly relates how giants came to be among men in its very first book, Genesis, chapter 6.
In today’s world, a vast majority of folks give this subject little serious consideration or thought. They quickly discount this particular information as merely just fables or fairy tales. Most consider it on the same level as a Mother Goose tale and other stories for young children to dream on at bedtime.
Regardless of these commonly held opinions, it doesn’t change what has occurred closer to home. In North America, Native American history and legends have contained information on giants for hundreds of years, some of which are clearly recorded in ancient cave paintings or masks and totem figures.
Many Native American tribes have names for these subjects. A few examples in the English translation are: “The Stone Giants” are used by the Cherokee and Iroquois people. The Lakota term is “Big Elder Brother” and the Taos call them “Big Person. The list of names is very extensive and other than a limited few terms like “Demon”, “Devil” or “Cannibal Giants”, none lists or compares these subjects to an animal.
A close study of American news accounts also reveal numerous stories of humanoid giants being seen. It starts along the east coast in the 1700’s then moves with the westward push into the 18 and 1900’s. In Daniel Boone’s memoirs, he wrote of shooting a ten foot “Yahoo” in 1782. It was located in Kentucky somewhere along what is now the Montgomery-Powell County line. In another account, Teddy Roosevelt, our 26th president, wrote a book in the late 1800’s, titled “Wilderness Hunter”. It has one chapter about two young hunters/trappers encountering a large hairy giant in what was then the remote Montana territory. They entered it in a remote valley that was shunned by the local Indian population as being an evil dangerous place.
Here in America, there are presently dozens of organized groups dedicated to investigating and documenting reports of giants. It is information coming from everyday people seeing or hearing something very unusual in the wooded areas of America. An appreciable number of these witnesses are respected folks like doctors, nurses, active military, police and firemen, all having no reason to lie or receive any personal gain for telling their story. Some would have been better off never telling their story for the rejection and ridicule they received. All for doing nothing more than telling the complete truth of what happened to them. It is an ignorantly cast prejudice that has stifled numerous personal accounts, some of which may be never told to another!
The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (B.F.R.O.) was formed in 1995. Since that time, they have investigated and published over 4600 credible and verified witness accounts believed to be directly associated with the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. Most of them occurring right here in North America! The total number of submitted reports is actually much higher than this published figure, but if a reasonable level of certainty cannot be verified or established, it is not listed on their internet website.
Like most other folks, I never gave this phenomenon much serious consideration. As a young adolescent back in the mid 1960’s, I was intrigued by the first release of the Patterson-Gimlin film on the local news channel. I spent a short time pondering all the possibilities, but it was quickly gone, soon replaced by other youthful adventures and interests.
I was raised up along the west coast, hunting, fishing, camping and hiking in areas of reported Bigfoot activity. Not once do I ever recall hearing or seeing anything close to making me believe this elusive giant could really exist. It was years later after several decades of mature adult life and moving to the southwest U.S., that I had my first “What in the world was that!?” moment.
My son and I were night fishing along a remote, heavily wooded creek bank in North Texas. We parked there shortly before sundown and had fished well past midnight by the light of the Coleman lantern placed on my pickup’s tailgate behind us.
At some point, I became aware of subtle movements in the brush north of us. A swish of a branch here, a crackle of leaves there, I first noticed it about 100-150 yards away and it seemed to be slowly getting closer to us. There was a side slough running perpendicular into the creek beside us. It was about 20 feet wide and separated us from the thick brush where the noises were coming from.
I wasn’t at all concerned since many night animals such as armadillo, raccoon, coyotes etc., often forage through the night and are no serious threat. It was then I felt the very distinct feeling of being watched and then a loud close snap of a fairly large twig being stepped on. Not something any light four legged animal would do.
My level of alertness perked up several notches and I began to discreetly scan our entire perimeter, not wanting to concern my then 15 year old son. Nothing was there, so I then focused on the thick brush line. I got up and strolled over to the truck cab retrieving a bright spotlight and began to scan that direction.
I can’t precisely relate what I momentarily saw flash by the roving circle of light, but looked like a man’s face recessed back in the brush. It was there one split second and gone the next. I jerked the light back to the spot, but then saw nothing. Noticing my sudden movement out of the corner of his eye, my son asked “What are you doing Dad?”?
“Oh nothing….just looking” I replied, not wanting to sound a bit concerned to him, but was now not at total peace with this subtle activity.
I put the light up and sat back down and continued fishing. Not more than 10 minutes, not less than 5, a huge cinder block sized object came hurtling out of the brush line, crashing into the water less than 10 feet from us. It produced a splash about like a 50 pound child doing a cannon ball off the high dive. We both instinctively fell back in our folding chairs away from the splash as huge drops of water rained down on us.
“WHAT WAS THAT!?…WHAT WAS THAT!?” my son screamed out lunging to me and tightly clutching my side as his terrified eyes wildly darted about.
I pulled him back from the water watching to large waves fan out. I was completely bewildered at the unexpected chain of events. What I did know was that whatever hit the water was large and didn’t float. I also knew if it had hit either one of us, it would have inflicted at the very least, serious bodily injury-probably more. Feeling quite threatened, I raced over to the truck and grabbed my 357 revolver loaded with hot personal defense rounds.
“THAT’S NOT FUNNY!” I yelled out. “I HAVE A GUN AND MAY DECIDE TO USE IT IF YOU THROW SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!”
I thought at that time, it was just someone pranking around with us, but that object came dangerously close to both of us and I didn’t appreciate it one bit. Wanting to jack back with whoever it was, I cocked the hammer back single action, aimed the gun down into the soft bank beside me, plugged one ear and cracked a round down into the mud. KA-BOOM!
It instantly sounded like a huge buck deer taking off away from us in the thick brush. There was a snapping and cracking of branches from something very big and strong, moving much faster through the stuff than any human I knew of could do.
With wide eyes my son looked at me and asked “What was that Dad”?
“I don’t know son, but l think it’s time to go”, I replied. That was my first “What in the world was that moment”. Since that time, I have personally spoken to people with an assortment of experiences much like mine. Seeing or hearing something big out in the woods that they have absolutely no explanation for!
Aided by a small group of knowledgeable people, I eventually began serious study and exploration of this interconnecting waterway system and the surrounding woods. On one occasion, we were followed and paced by something large in the thick brush. It stopped when we stopped, then moved when we moved.
A dark shape darted across a small creek bed about 75 yards ahead of us. We discovered a partial print gouged out in the dried mud. It was about 7.5 inches wide and you can see the toe digs, but the total length could not be determined.

Right after this photo was taken, a softball sized object landed behind us with a loud thud.
On another research trip, I saw a dark shape dart across the trail in front of me. It was partially occluded by the surrounding leaves vegetation and happened so fast I didn’t get a good look. I moved up the trail to that particular area and scanned my perimeter, but couldn’t make out anything. The distinctive feeling of being watched, once again swept over me. I took my camera and shot a series of photos all around me. This is one of the photos I took that day. Can you make out anything unusual in this photo?
He is there peeking up from behind a pile of sticks just to the left of the two trees in the middle portion of this photo. It is a prime example of how well these subjects use cover and concealment and the primary reason most folks never see them.
The following picture is an enhanced blow-up of this previous photo. You can see the subject’s eyes peeking over the branches. I was using a fill-in flash and you can see his right eye reflecting the flash of light. He is also holding a branch with his right hand putting the green leaves up in front of his face. This behavior has been recorded before as they carefully use cover and concealment to perfection.
I never keyed on him when I took this picture, but found him later carefully reviewing my photos. I did get a good visual sighting later that morning while looking at a brush line through binoculars. It was at about 150 yards and the Big Guy was watching me, peering over a bush very similar to the one shown in the above picture.
My intentions were to experience and see for myself that these subjects are very real and dwell among us. I have no desire to prove anything to the skeptic. They will believe what they want to believe. My desire is to share with people wanting to know more about the incredible phenomenon. They are very real and live among us.
On another occasion, I was fortunate enough to video a young subject in a secluded, very remote area of Central Oklahoma. It was an area that had history of a family group living there. I was on a hill side scanning an area down the hill where we could hear movement. After nearly an hour of shooting video, I was able to capture a brief clip of a young one peeking at us. I downloaded a portion of it to U-tube titled, “Young Bigfoot Caught Peeking”.
Here are two enhanced clips from the video shot at about 100 yards distance.
This is a quartering view of him peering out from behind the brush.

He is looking down to the right and almost looks like a samurai wrestler.
Granted the telephoto lens and light conditions may have distorted the images some, but they are a fair representation of what I saw that day. Later that night, I was blessed with having five from a family group draw close to me, three of which got to within 20 feet of me!!
Many in the Bigfoot research community hold to the unfounded assumption that these subjects are just a dumb base primate roaming about in the woods to be driven and hunted like livestock or wild game. From what I have experienced, these subjects possess reasoning and cognitive thinking. They are very much like us in some ways, very different in others.
On another occasion in East Texas, I noticed a large Bigfoot sitting up high in a pine tree (Yes they do climb trees and do it quite well). He was watching our research party situated down the hill in an open area sitting up camp. I was able to pull him in with a tripod and a powerful lens and obtained some descent videos. Here are a few clips from it.
Here are the trees with three having a bent offset at the top. I was told by an experienced forester, that if the top feeder point of a young pine tree is twisted off, one of the side branches will then become the feeder and you will get this offset. I can see one happening to a young tree, but three in one area? It raises a question, was this possibly done years ago with the intentions of having this high perch years later?
This location gives an excellent 360 degree lookout from the hill. Nothing could approach this ridge without being seen early.
I don’t have an exact size of this individual, but the following picture is a comparison shot I took several weeks later.
This is but a portion of the material I have been blessed with obtaining over the past several years. I know they are real and walk among us, for I have seen them up close with my own eyes. They are a very complex subject that is extremely elusive, yet they have and will continue to be seen by many.
I have taken many other audios, videos and pictures I plan on sharing when the time is right. Again, I enjoy sharing with interested folks about what I have been fortunate with obtaining. To teach and convey these subjects are a forest people living among us and not the dumb animal many people would like you to believe. Some, who have never actually seen one, yet make these totally unfounded assumptions as to who and what these giants of the forest are.
May His warm and ever loving Spirit touch your soul with goodness!
God Bless You All!

How do you know if Bigfoot is in your vicinity? Check out the following traits of Bigfoot behavior presented by my good friend GumShoe. Who is a Bigfoot researcher and witness. Thank you for your insight.
“BIGFOOT CREATURE IN THE AREA”
1. General “feeling” of uneasiness, fear or anxiousness, feeling of being watched while in the area.
2. Foul odor, resembling sewerage, rotting meat, sickening sweet and rancid.
3. Noises, unusual bird, or other unidentifiable noises, vocalizations which sound human but cannot be
understood, whistles, hearing footsteps as if being followed, small sticks breaking, large sticks striking trees, rocks being hit together, tapping, rapid movement in trees, brush, etc., but cannot see what is creating the movement.
4. Actions and reactions of people, if any, in the area. Fear, confusion, relating unexplained occurrences
5. Actions and reactions of animals in the area, fear, flight, agitation, disobedience, distraction, etc.
– (many dogs in the same area will bark without stopping throughout the night) cats, horses, cattle, deer, birds, show signs of distress, insects and frogs at night may become quiet for no apparent reason.
6. Disturbance or changes in foliage or ground, breakage of limbs or tree tops, trees and brush moved to
block trails, pulled down from different directions in what appears to be a “shelter” or “windbreak” woven patterns in sticks and trees, sometimes resembling “fences” gouge marks in the dirt or footprints. Misc. items or moved or missing in area. Missing animals, wild and domestic. These are some of the
most obvious things I would attribute to a Bigfoot creature being in a particular area. These are the things most easily recognized.
“BIGFOOT MISSING FROM A KNOWN OCCPIED AREA”
Numbers, 1 through 6 above are absent.
There is a STARK contrast between these two situations, although BOTH sets of circumstances occur in the SAME area. A pattern emerges where these things are occurring (not occurring) at differing, specific times of the year. Note: If there have been obvious signs of disturbance of trees or foliage, this stops and the area does not continue to change as a result. The first time I noticed this pattern I was really unsettled. It seemed the forest had become “empty” overnight. I spent hours in the woods each day, trying to figure out what had happened, why it was so quiet. I’d have to say, if you experience all 1 through 6 simultaneously, then suddenly it ALL STOPS, it’s pretty easy to determine that the Bigfoot creatures have left the area. In reverse, when these things begin occurring again, it’s obvious that they have returned. Carene Source: Western Bigfoot Society, March, 2001 Track Record# 105

Hard to imagine but Bigfoot Sasquatches live and thrive on the peripheral fringes of inner cities and suburb cities”~ Gumshoguy

2014 February 15, Southwest Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan
DETROIT (Cryptozoology News) — A family claim they saw a strange ape-like creature Thursday afternoon coming out of the window of an abandoned house on the outskirts of the desolate city. C. Brown, his wife, and their two children said they were “driving around, looking to buy a new house”, when they allegedly witnessed the unidentified beast. “The economy has been devastating here man,” Brown explained. “One day, you are living in this beautiful city with over a million and a half working people, next day all you know is all is gone…crime has gone up and life has become almost impossible to deal with here. I am one of the lucky ones still with a job.” Detroit’s economy has seen a decline in the recent decades. What used to be the city of the automobile industry and prosperity has now become a crime-ridden place with the potential to become a war zone. Likewise, the once wealthy house lots are currently nothing but a sanctuary for homeless people struggling to live another day. “All the houses and people we used to know are long gone. Our neighborhood is not a safe place for our children anymore. So we decided to go look for a new place,” the man said. His wife shares the same feelings about the city. “Ain’t no place for us to live here. What for? People get shot for nothing in here. So we got in the car and went looking for a good house to move to,” she told Cryptozoology News. Reportedly, after driving for three hours and not able to find a house meeting the family standards, they decided it was time to return home. “I saw that thing right through the window of an abandoned house. I was shocked. I told my husband cause he was driving and couldn’t see it.” They described the house as a two story blue building with broken windows. Then, they said, Brown decided to “slow down to get a better look”. “Hell, we were curious about it. I mean, you know, we were aware that we ain’t in no safe neighborhood, but we didn’t get out of the car or nothing. We see this hairy arm reaching out the window. I say what the hell, he gonna get cut that dude with the broken glass, man. Then a whole body coming out the window, looked like a monkey, only big damn monkey with a stick on the hand. Maybe about 7-ft tall. It had short, reddish hair. But hold on, the face was human looking, as crazy as it sounds. My wife kept telling me to drive away, so we did. I got to see the animal’s eyes and all, big and dark, with a huge head, like a triangle shape, kinda, know what I mean? Started hitting the ground with the branch or the stick or whatever it was holding. Kind of reminded me of what squirrels do with their legs when you approach them. But this was no damn squirrel,” Brown claimed. A few moments later, as the Browns left the blue house behind, the animal supposedly walked through the bushes and disappeared. “I could see it on the mirror, he kept hitting the ground with the stick and then he walked away and couldn’t see him anymore. The kids were screaming in the backseat like crazy and my wife was trying to calm them down, man. It went on for 30 seconds or so,” the father said. “The lack of urban expansion in the city due to a poor economy could mean that some species have found their way back into their old habitat. It is also possible that the lots of empty houses could work as an incentive for wild animals seeking shelter. As a result, these witnesses could easily misidentify the native species of the area,” said Lorenzo Martinez, animal behaviorist and teacher at a Spanish university. “No no, that was not a dog or a bear. That was either some sick man dressed up for fun or a freaking monkey with a man’s face, like a Bigfoot. Whatever you wanna believe, up to you. That’s all I have to say,” said Brown.
