Nonsense. I live in Tennessee, and have been to Madisonville many, many times. This area is “urban” farmland and has been for the past 50 years. No way a “bigfoot family” could live in that trailer park. I now live in Algood, Tennessee, home of Mary Green. There ain’t no Bigfeet here either, only big tales. Jerry, you have been overly kind about these frauds. I look forward to your last installment.

I have researched this story of Janice Carter, i have also seen some documentaries on this on tv. I never really got a chance to voice my opinion on this, but after doing research the way she describes the way they live, hunt, how they commmunicate, its pretty convincing. She really explains everything in much detail. Fox the bigfoot clan leader visted her alot so she must be telling the truth just look at the picture i mean the way they extend their hands to one another. She even went on a hunt with fox she goes into alot of detail of how they kill their prey. I know it comes down to this i agree with what everyone is saying that if shes telling the truth wheres the video proof that fox and his clan exists. She doesnt even have a picture of the whole clan and the area where they live so therefore everyone on this subject will have go with their own judgment and conclusion if janice carter is telling the truth that fox and his clan live next to her farm?

Nope, I am not affiliated with Mary or Janice in anyway. I am just a fan of the book that is trying to defend, what I think, is a good book. I don’t even think you can get copies anymore, but you might still be able to. Of course, if Mary and Janice had any sense, they would get it on the “self publish” thing on Amazon. Amazon will sell any book, you just have to sign up with them or something.

yes, you said it well. That is what I was trying to convey, that the book is actually pretty good and interesting. Even though it is somewhat controversial.

Sorry but I don’t believe these claims to be true. Like others I think that Janice believes she is telling the truth. I’ve known people that are delusional and they can construct all manners of reality for themselves. I believe in Bigfoot mind you, but I denounce any type of ‘mystical’ qualities associated with them. I believe they are terrestrial creatures like a bear, deer, dog, or you and me.

Might they have human-like intelligence?

Who knows? Certainly they are at least as intelligent as a chimp or gorilla and probably more so.

I am quite open to the idea of habituation of a Bigfoot creature. Why not? We habituate all kinds of wild animals, why not a Bigfoot? I believe the Russian researchers are much more open to this idea than the Americans. I have spoken to Mary Green several times via Email and find her a most pleasant, open person who believes very much in what she is doing. Having said that, I also find Jerry Coleman’s field notes interesting in that they are or at least seem to be made in the actual area of the Coy farm. I am looking forward to the final chapter in his report. I do think that Mary and Janice Coy have taken a lot of castigation and derision from a lot of people which is quite unnecessary. If you don’t believe them, move on.

What about the hairs that were taken? Were they ever checked against known mammals?

Good evening Cryptos….

I have read 50 Years…twice as a matter of fact…it’s laying on my desk along with several other sasquatch books both factual and fictional…

I’ve chatted with Mary a few times via email…she seemed nice enough.

There are huge holes in the story…IMHO

My biggest problems with 50 Years…are Janice’s pre-occupation with the sexual exploits and threat posed by Blackie, and…then…in the next paragraph…she claims she only wants to know what these creatures are…if her claims are truthful….she, should know more than anyone…who, what, and where these wonderous creatures are…JMHO

It’s an engaging read…although, disjointed and at times difficult to follow…however some elements are compelling…especially for those who may have seen the Big Folks…it’s better than anything I’ve written to date…JMHO

I do believe there are several rural “folks” currently involved in long term sasquatch habituation…however…I don’t think the Coy’s are.

For the time and the money…I’d recommend the “Locals”…by Thom Powell…his account of the Dora Bradley story is far more compelling…IMHO

I appreciate the fine job Jerry Coleman did researching and disclosing his examination of the Carter/Coy Farm story.

I’ll be adding Jerry’s work to the top of my list…

Have a safe weekend…

If Janice is hungry for attention, she sure strategized a poor way to get it! She lives in a pretty isolated area, has little company as far as I can see, and published via vanity press.

That doesn’t fit the profile of an attention seeker to me. But time will tell… or not.

scrambeledeggman, are you the publisher of this book? Or maybe an investor? You seem to keep pushing folks to go buy the book and read it. Saying things like it is a wonderful read, even if it is fake, paraphrasing, is sort of, well, silly. You seem to be emotionally invested in this book. I am making an observation, and not attacking you.

Trying to imply that only people that have read the book are the only folks that can have an opinion is not very tolerant. I have seen the TV show, read some of the online reports, along with the articles here. I have to agree with the other posters that have said they would not waste their money on the book.

It is fairly obvious that this woman, as they say down south, is as dumb as a box of rocks. Either that, or she is trying to pull a Dave Shealy and pretend to be dumb.

As I said I am not attacking you, just looking at this from another point of view. One very important thing to keep in mind is that many of us have seen lots of hoaxes. I live not too far from a famous hoaxer. Although no one seems to be willing to call him that outright, I am. This person tried to get 30 or 40K in government grant money to ‘research’ the skunkape here in Florida. So again we come back to the money.

The people that I want to hear from are the ones like myself. People that have had an encounter, but want to remain anonymous.
