Now, on the issue of the word interdimensional, I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the channel on which all the bigfoot stuff is apparently covered - sci-fi. That is, science-fiction. Quantum physics is the only field in which I have seen use of that word in a serious manner by qualified, reliable scientists. Aside from that, the best use for that word is in my favorite section of the entertainment industry - science-fiction novels.

Also… “an organized nationwide group” subverting Bigfoot researchers? I’m sure you’re getting tired of this line by now, but I gotta say it…
Where. Is. The. Proof?

now let get to the truth of fox and family, I have left food for fox and family, found their foot tracks, and have seen bo and fox once, and again watched Janice carter talk to them in the dark at night, I have watched bo scream from a hill top, twice, my wife has seen fox looking in on her from a window several times, so I will tell you it is a true story,
now lets get to me taking pictures of them, hell no I did not, why should I, I am not out to prove a darn thing, if the skeptics want to run their mouth, because they think this story is a hoax, then they need to take a look at they own hearts and sins first, Janice does have pictures of them, and have seen them, I have seen her note books on the language she took through the years, I have seen her sell off certain artifacts from the carter farm, to make a living, is she poor, heck yes she is,
why, because she is unhealthy to work, and I wont go in to that, again stop and think, all we need is gods wealth, not material possessions, has she ever worked a job, yes indeed she has, and has helped pay the taxes for the welfare she was on for years, again remember, you have to live with some one in order to know that person, of all the things I have seen in 15 months living with a legend, I have to say she is real, complicated yes, you would be to if you had all the distractors out there and her trying to defending herself, and then throwing up your hands at a all most impossible job, so I will step up and take the heat, my name is steve abney, thank you for your time,

Those “orbs” you see after holding your head over a camera flash, those are a result of the rods and cones in your retina being momentarily overwhelmed by the flash of light.
The same effect is registered when, for instance, you spend time under a green light and upon leaving the room everything looks red. There is, in fact, a famous painting of an American flag done in opposite colors (Green, Orange and Black instead of Red, Blue and White) and if you stare at this long enough, then look at a plain white canvas, you will see an after image of the red, white and blue flag.

I’m old enough to remember flash bulbs on cameras, and the crazy balls of light we’d see after having our pictures taken as kids with those. But now we’re REALLY veering off the topic of cryptozoology.

Bigfoot remains the most likely culprit, in my opinion, for causing that word to come into existence. I can also see here that readers are not watching enough of the sci-fi channel, when not searching for Bob Hope reruns of course. sigh! Virtually everything Bigfoot is covered on the sci-fi channel today, or in full fledged movies like Predator (invisibility, partial invisibility, weightlessness) or Star Trek (dematerializing, telepathic communication in the Borg). Except without directly associating that stolen material with Bigfoot. I once passed a photo of Bigfoot orbs to writers for the Sasquatch Dumpling Gang, and next thing I know there is a dud movie out on a Super Orb. Now that is all plagarism! And contrary to the claims of a ghost hunter here, Orbs are quite real and can easily be seen with the naked eye by holding your head above a camera with flash, when out in the woods at night, an simply look out and see all the orbs that light up with your camera flash. Piece of cake. The move to convince the public that orbs are mere dust particles, is phooey!

Bigfoot research in the US, is constantly being subverted by an organized nationwide group that utilizes pawns like MK Davis, and Photo Expert. With the recent USFW sponsoring of a Bigfoot information talk (not mentioned on Cryptomundo), that clandestine group has redoubled its efforts to destroy the credibility of real Bigfoot researchers like Janice Carter.

Now, for another issue entirely;

Grandmamoses - When exactly was “associating interdimensional theories with Bigfoot” accepted by science? As far as I know, it is generally the habit of science to first discern whether something truly exists - a feat yet to be accomplished in this case - before quibbling over the details. That I know of, this association you’re talking about hasn’t been accepted by science, but rather by a few people on what may be termed the fringe of the fringe of science.

I can totally agree on not agreeing.

I don’t have a problem with this story being a hoax, or being real (0r being the middle ground). For the folks that have read the book (er, I mean sighting report generally say the same thing, that this is an interesting story, but very hard to believe. Yes, I agree 100% with what Archer1945 said…”I have read the book and found it most interesting while, at the same time, a bit troubling.”

Yes, exactly! Interesting, but troubling.

I am not here to convince anyone this story is true or not.

I am here to bring up the point that, in my opinion, Janice and Mary have not been given “due credit”, but dismissed without anyone critically looking at the story.

1) if this story is true, let’s give them credit for bringing this story to the BF community and give them credit for documenting some unique and hard to believe BF behaviors that no other researcher has put forth.

2) if this story is a hoax, well, let’s give them credit for that! If this is a hoax, lets acknowledge what a good hoax this is and let’s acknowledge how much work went into this hoax. If this is a hoax, then it is one of the most elaborate and well put together hoaxs in the history of Bigfoot lore. If this story is 100% made up, lets take a minute to say that Janice is a brilliant story teller with a vivid imagination and obviously highly intelligent to be able to weave a story without any holes in the logic. Someone call Hollywood, because we have an amazing storyteller here!

See, you can’t have it both ways.

In my opinion, neither one of these scenarios is happening. People are calling it a hoax, but not really taking the time to appreciate what an elaborate hoax this is. For the people that seem to be doing real research on this sighting report, well, they are not sharing this information to “prove” these events have/are happening.

Either way, no new information about this “sighting report” is surfacing, and it has devolved into a name calling fest.

My point is that more research into this interesting but troubling story needs to happen so we can all agree (well, most of us) that this story is either a hoax, or it really happened (or something happened on this property and the rest was made up)

My only other comment would be to Mr DNA about me “putting down the book” and doing real research… I did do some real research.. I found the actual Carter Farm! I am not sure if you realize this, but, this is the first time the location of the Carter Farm has been publicly identified. I also digitized the locations mentioned in the book. This is also the first time this has been done in a public forum. If you doubt this is true, just review what motivated kd37354 to write to Loren in the first place… She was correcting the reported location of the Carter Farm that Loren’s brother reported! See, the location of the Carter Farm was not really known to the general BF community, so that is why Loren’s brother could not find it. Now that we know the location of the farm, we can start to take apart some of the claims in the book, er I mean sighting report. (i.e. searching the public records to see if the attack on the teenage girl was actually reported in the local paper like Janice claims in the book. Now that we know where the farm is, we can find the local paper and search the archives)

Anyway, I can agree to not agree.

From all the comments posted here, it is very obvious to me that there are folks that have an open mind on this story and are willing to keep an open mind about the need for more research into these troubling claims. It is also very clear to me that there are other folks that refuse to look at this story because it is too far-fetched and so therefore it must NOT be true.

This just solidifies my own personal theory that there is a real bias about the Carter Farm story in the larger Bigfoot community.

Some will agree with this statement and some won’t. The ones that agree I am sure will silently nod their head in agreement. The ones that don’t think there is a bias about this story I am sure will continue to resort to name calling and other evasive tactics.

Thanks everyone for your comments!
