After further inquiry, I learned I was somewhat mistaken regarding credit for the origin of the word “blobsquatch.”

While “oldtimer” was not the first person to use the term publicly, he did apparently coin the word. Details will be sent to Loren when I get permission to use the names of those involved.

You know, if you stare at it long enough, the Lake Worth picture looks remarkably similar to the Abominable Snowman from the old Warner Brothers cartoons…”I will love him and hug him and squeeze him and call him George”….

stonelk,

I imagine that most who have had an interest in this topic for some time have seen that photo. That’s what I would call a hoax, not a blobsquatch.

Regardless of the semantics employed, the basic point in all this, I suppose, is that images (photo or video) must be well documented and clear for them to have a chance at being considered as legitimate evidence by appropriate decision makers.

I am fairly new to cryptomundo so I don’t know if you all have seen this one sent to Coast to Coast AM some time ago.

I liked this one even though it has short arms and ridiculously long claws

How about, “Any photograph or film/video still image that could be of a sasquatch, but is blurry to the point of showing indistinct blobs of color rather than any useful details. Therefore generally considered useless as evidence for the creature’s existence.”

I think the first time I ever heard the term was on a BF forum in mid 2003.

Rick Noll may have been the first person to use the term at Cryptomundo (22 Oct. 2005).

it is a bigfoot forum term. if someone can prove thru a link to a prior use on a different site then do it. but i am positive i never heard nor seen it used anywhere but the bigfoot forums until recently

I always thought the Lake Worth photo was a smoke plume rising off a fire. I don’t even see how anyone could look at this and think sasquatch.
