I think you are right, Jeremy, and if I am not mistaken, Loren has done some research along those lines regarding this matter so I am looking forward to his response also.

hmmm. An interesting intersection of cryptozoology, psychology and popular culture…
Something tells me there is more “meat” on these bones for someone willing to do the digging.

Hi, first time poster here, lol………

this might be a little off topic, but I read a book a while ago about some bank robbers that dressed up as presidents? maybe, any way, they had a big tree house in washington state that they lived in and used as their hideout, for some reason , I seen to recall, that the gangs leader was afraid of large “monsters” that used to chase him through the woods at night with “glowing red eyes”……….I often though this was a strange part of the book and the way the author was trying to portray the gangs leader ofhaving a mentle condition, but given the location and all the sightings in the area of washington state, I guess my only belief is that he had seen susquatch, but the book never made the correlation……….I guess it was interesting to me and i wanted to post it…………

Seems to me that if someone wanted to make a bigfoot horror film, THIS would be the logical place to start…In any case, using some of this as reference material would stand to make a better film that the recent schlock films on offer…

This topic of “killers n’ Bigfoot” has come up before, and as before I think it is just coincidence.

Regarding Starkweather’s alleged sightings: According to the BFRO database there are 6 documented sightings in Nebraska. Interestingly, several of the documented sightings occurred in the county Starkweather lived in and the ajacent counties to the north and south. There is not much activity in the rest of the state. This doesn’t prove anything, but it is interesting.

Regarding Stayner’s alleged sightings: Mariposa County and Tuolumne County, the two counties that contain Yosemite National Park, have 3 and 29 documented sightings, respectively, recorded in the BFRO database. That’s a relatively active area, so his claims aren’t outside the realm of possibility. Especially if they occurred ajacent to the park as reported.

With regard to Stayner’s background: The phenomenon of his brother being abducted and then recovered, then his unusual, if not suspicious, death, is pretty bizarre. When you throw in the unsolved murder of the uncle it makes one wonder if there was something strange going on there that hasn’t come to light yet.

Very interesting indeed, you have to ask the question, What do either have to gain by telling of a bigfoot encounter? Answer….Not very much. reply #4 is right, you just never know!

If memory serves, from research on my 1998 biography of Starkweather, he was living in Lincoln, Nebraska, at the time of his “sighting.” That setting and his unstable mind should probably be considered in evaluating his experience (or delusion).

the whistles outside a window are truly a common description of an encounter.

too bad we dont have the first tale of a Bigfoot actually killing one of these idiots before they got started on their murderous work.

you are absolutely correct we cant discount them just because of what or who they are. their reports have to be added to the evidence as a whole.

very interesting thanks Loren
