I live near the Wounded Knee area..........

Bigfoot seems to be harrassing my family when I'm not home. I'm a bit skeptical, but my wife claims that she heard "somthing heavy" walking around outside the house, the "sound of fingers running against the side of the house" of our thin walled mobile home.

I'm a bit skeptical, but I've ruled out the possiblitly of animals like horses and cows, because our home is fenced off.

The_Carrot: you remember correctly.

And Rillo777: let’s not be too liberal with the weeniecalling.

Dogs behaving with extreme fear – frequently the likes of which the witness has never observed in the animal before or since, over many encounters with all kinds of animals – are one of the most consistent features of sasquatch encounters involving them. Some are brave (and to read reports some get killed for it). But not most. It runs pretty consonant with another common feature of encounters: the almost preternatural calm noted by the witness in the area of the encounter, especially the complete absence of animal and bird calls which are an almost constant feature of the area under normal circumstances.

Tourism must be off and they may be trying to regenerate the bottom line by stimulating traffic at the local trading post. These reports are “nothing special nor unusual”. Special is a Washington State bigfoot ripping apart a german shepherd last fall, and pasting it’s owners dwelling with the dog’s blood, by apparently flinging the dog’s various body parts at the side of the home. Local tribal officers sought guidance from paranormal bigfoot expert. Now owner has new dog again, and no more problems so far. Now that news ought to add to the bottom line, and then again, maybe not.

I’m a white boy from Pipestone, MN but am very at home with Lakota/Dakota culture. Don’t fall for the “mystical indian” stereotype. Or the “drunken indian” either for that matter!

If these folks are reporting a physical creature – that’s exactly what they’re seeing.

Sounds to me a team from that area needs to get the OK to do some checking around. Sounds like they may get some real good information, maybe get some good pictures and or sound recordings. Wish I lived in the area.

Concerning the behaviour of the dogs: I have a report in my files of a large German Sheherd, if I remember right, that fled into a house and refused to come out when the dog and his owner saw a bigfoot. It may be that some dogs are just unwilling to confront anything large and unusual even to the point of protecting their masters. This may say more about the individual personality of the animal than it does about canines in general when confronted with such a creature. In other words, some dogs may just be weanies

If I remember correctly there have been other Bigfoot reports where the witness(es) reported that their dog/dogs had acted fearfully.

As mentioned before, Pine Ridge is the poorest community in the nation. The Pine ridge reservation is the poorest rez in South Dakota, so it’s not like everybody can go out and just purchase a video camera any time they want. I grew up on the Crow Creek reservation in central South Dakota so I can tell you first hand that a video camera is not at the top of the list of necessities. I still live in central SD, so these sightings are very exciting! I’m planning to visit the area sometime next month to have a look around, hopefully I can get some good evidence for myself. The bad things about sightings on the rez is it just doesn’t seem to get covered very much here in the local media. Although the Rapid City Journal might have a snippet or two on the sightings but nothing like a front page article. Of course I don’t get the Journal here so I could be wrong about that.

Wow, I am really pleased to see this update on the Pine Ridge sightings. I had been wondering what ever happened to the events unfolding over there, so this is exciting to see! To me, this place seems to be a remarkably promising place for gathering evidence on Bigfoot. I look forward to more interesting things to come from Pine Ridge as soon as the weather warms up a bit.

Most big foot sightings are a “once in a lifetime” event. This seems to be an on going occurrence. I would think that a good number of the folks on the reservation would be keeping cameras handy. Why no photos?
