Where are the indentations that would suggest a moving creature? Looks like someone pushed directly down not in a walking motion. Also most peeps will have a bit of a deeper impression at the heel…unless Bf walks toe to heel like an american indian.
Bad pics? Are there more in the series?

Well clearly Jason lorifice made a mistake taking his efforts to Mr Horrigan ”telephonicly” to be patronised. If the PG film is described by Mr Horrigone as ”notorious” what chance did Jason have ?

It is quite possible Jason has created his own play and given himself a starring role in it, as my grand children do. I have to be ”The Selfish Giant by Orson Wells”. It is also possible he has been hoaxed. Theres nothing like a young man taking himself seriously to be the target for other maybe more frivolous young men. Especially if the interest is unusual.

Then again the footprint might be of a Sasquatch ! When you find footprints of one animal at one place they can be extremely variable and it can be very problematical to distinguish deer from boar (now colonising the UK again) deer from deer even dog from deer or cat. It is clearly insufficient to look at at one print as it may be anomolous. What is needed is a good look at the rest of the track and more photos, some will not look like anything, but as a whole they add up.

An absence of vegetation damage doesnt neccesserily mean a Sasquatch didnt pass through as my guess is it often avoids damage to remain hidden. The ground looks solid as if it had been compacted by weather and machinery. So poor penetration of the ground by SAS would have been unremarkable. Isnt it valid to understand what Sasquatch is up to by how we would behave in its environment, working on the assumption it is our nearest primate relative ? Is banging trees Sasquatches ghetto blaster?

I do think Jason Lorifice should be given a bit of a welcome as should all the other witnesses out there who may know something. Shouldnt we leave the negative press to the Horrigons? Now perhaps JT will do some further research and come up with some more stuff to entertain and delight!

While this may not be a hoax, it’s irrelevant, because for all the information that Mr. Lorefice claimed to have acquired about the prints, (size, number of prints, stride length), he only photographed a single print. While I’ll be the first to admit that that print appears too crisp and clean to be real, it’s nearly impossible to judge this story’s validity or invalidity based on a single track. A picture of a single track, accompanied by a story filled with convenient excuses doesn’t seem like enough to convince a research team to investigate further. I suggest we let this blip fall off the radar screen, and, if it is real, I suggest Mr. Lorefice improves his investigation techniques in the future.

Loren, Thanks for continuing to post on this subject despite the hoax possibilities. It’s time for Jason Lorefice to send his cast to Professor Meldrum for a professional opinion. It could well be a hoax and he’s a victim or it might be real. A decent look by the Professor won’t hurt and his word is about as authoritative as it gets in the BF world. My best,

Hoax, this story deserves no more “air time”…the holes in it are just too numerous to go into.

Hi Greywolf-

Skepticism is a good thing. The real problem are the cynics masquerading as skeptics. They really are a dime a dozen.

I have to admit I take perverse pleasure in seeing the miserable expression form on Joe Nichols’ face when his debunking experiments don’t go quite as he’d like. A true cynic in skeptic’s clothing. While a skeptic approaches problems with a questioning but open mind, a cynic has already made up his mind. Debunking implies a predisposed disbelief. Very unscientific.

This one does reek of a hoax. I am not suggesting Mr. Lorefice is involved and I hope he is not. I do think the prints were put there by a hoaxer for him to find. Just my opinion.

I’m sorry, I am still suspious of this one. The couple who drove by, who have lived there of over 200 years, had never heard of a Bigfoot in the area. How come he didn’t take pictures of the prints leading into the swamp or the path though the field.

Skeptics are a dime a dozen. They don’t often get in the field nor do they get dirty they just sit back and say nope must be hoax or what ever..I have been in the field and I have had my own strange experience but until all the real down and dirty research is done we don’t know what is truth or fiction. If a they are a hoax well shame on that person BUT if the tracks are real then the question is what made them where is it and how do we document it being a part of the real living creatures of our planet.

Apart from all the comments already made about why this screams hoax, after hearing Jason Lorefice speak I have to say he just didn’t strike me as credible.
