John: Welcome. Give ‘em hell.

Norman-uk: No, I was just saying I can’t figure out what your esoteric prose is intending to say, sometimes. Over here, I guess we have a more direct way of speaking.

Well, MEN do. Not always so with women.

Goodfoot you wrote to me, ''I wish I knew what the hell you were trying to say.'' I have a link here to john mionczynski who has earned respect by his experience and sasquatch research. I think he said what I was trying to say from a different persepective. You may appreciate it and hopefully be pursuaded. It is a good read anyway and gives a clue to why sasquatch hasnt got the seal of approval in may years. Even if Dr ketchum fails in her research, I commend her for trying. As a true believer, for good reason, I am resolute in that sasquatch will continue to be a valid subject for research by amateurs and professional alike whatever and hopefully not confined and owned by by the deadning hands of the sceptic. I add this quote (again) at the end from Alaskan Brenda Leask a native american who had just descibed her eyewitness report which she regarded as a privilege. It has an appealing resonance. This might strike a chord wih you John. I believe it to be true It is here it is true You leave it alone You dont bother it You respect it (You) say a prayer

Your Welcome Goodfoot! I know there is a lot of doubters and even I get some hate mail and bad comments against me but I can’t get mad at their opinions. Only once have I gotten a little upset and used racial remarks against me for being Native American. I did use logic and facts in replying to him. Anyways. I would love to stop in the next time I’m in Maine to see that Museum of Loren’s there in Portland. I was there twice this past summer but was busy with family issues and din’t have to time to go. I wanted to see that place for quite some time now. I loved all the comments you shared as well Goodfoot.

In my opinion Mr. Coleman, you are entitled to an opinion as everyone else is. I am a Dr. Ketchum supporter and I think she will release her video and her paper in due time. Peer review takes awhile and there is no real time stamp for that as most others believe. They also believe I think what most blogs and sites promote as the gospel when it is just gossip. I have learned the only one being able to give up to date reports and have an idea, is Dr.Ketchum herself. She is a facebook friend so I can hear the info from her, not all the other unreliable Bigfoot sites gunning for visits, hits, and sensationalism to or on their sites. I learned that the hard way and it made me more of a believer in her work after researching myself and finding the false and misleading information about her and her paper was published on sites. Even my own question to her that she responded to on facebook, was taken, by photographic means, published, with an addition in the story that was twisted to fit their needs and was totally false. I myself cannot wait to see what she has come up with. She does have multiple authors on her paper, so I’m thinking this will take awhile. Each peer review can take weeks, months, or years. I know they exist. I have seen them and have had my own experiences with them. Only one in Maine though all the years I lived there. Most of mine are here in Idaho. My past ones have been in Oregon.

Alamo
I am pleased to see you ‘think bigfoot exists’ and you do not have an inability or wilful determination not to because of its how extraordinary it seems and the possibility of it upsetting present paradigms. Legitimate scientists generally in my opinion, have been obstructive to the process you would like as far back as I can remember by their faux science.
It is clear that what is needed are rational open minded people, dont have to be scientists but can be to find the final proof for science needed. I think in fact we have the proof but not the data at this point.
Anyway you have your legitimate scientist in Dr Ketchum who seems almost ideal for the job and the indications are she is on the point of publishing after no doubt a considerable and expected struggle with peer review in this case a protracted process.
I dont mind being called a bigfoot believer there is no need to be defensive about it though sceptics do not wish to understand belief in something doesnt mean it has to be irrational or religious.
Just hope Dr Ketchum can get her paper out soon and watch it blend in with all the other amazing discoveries in recent years like australopithecus sediba etc.

Nice to talk with you.

Norman,

Don’t know what you mean by, “You fellows”… we all have varying opinions. I only speak for myself, and as far I am concerned, you are correct: I do not “believe in Bigfoot”. Do I think Bigfoot exists? Yes. Do I “believe ” in him: No. Perhaps that is a key difference in the way we approach the subject. I would very much like a legitimate scientist to use recognized scientific methods to prove what I have suspected all along. It’s looking more and more like Melba is not that person.

I think the basic problem among you fellows is you dont believe in bigfoot, because you cannot. Then again who would honestly want their outdoors populated by a wild by a hugh uncontrollable hairy beast that in its own environment can outsmart them ? The stuff of nightmares ! We neither want them or have them in the UK, we exterminated them centuries ago. A walk in the park wouldnt be the same All we have are big cats ( I have seena puma running wild ) managing well on a plague of muntjac deer , but most are not aware of them, not the same and we may wander in blissfull ignorance o’er hill and dale.

Best to listen to eyewitnesses not the scientific establishment who cant believe in bigfoot untill its official and it wont be official until they do. Meanwhile they cannot get the DNA right, until now that is, via Dr M Ketchum. They are (with exceptions) unable to recognise all the evidence etc etc. What could be hidden among the 32 million specimens in the NY natural history museum, many not catalogued ?

Good examples of eyewitness reports can be seen in the programme ‘Finding Bigfoot’. When they assemble the locals many who very graphicaly and persuasively tell of their experiences. One special one in the Alaskan episode was by a native american name of Brenda Leask who saw a sasquatch while out hunting with another witness. After describing what she saw as a privilege she said

I beleive it to be true
it is here it is true
you leave it alone
you dont bother it
you respect it
(you) say a prayer

I suggest this is a good starting point, you abandon all the negativity which is being foisted onto the bigfoot phenomenom and enjoy it all with a fresh outlook, dont be a sceptic but give balanced and fair consideration to the evidence. There is no good reason to categorise Dr Ketcham as a charletan if you look at what she has actualy said about her research into Saquatch DNA and where she almost certainly is on the point of publishing. A lot of misimformation is being invented about Dr Ketchum ignore it.

Time to appreciate what an amazing reality Saquatch is in th ehere and now !
