I’ll tell ya, the more I look at that bottom photo, the more it freaks me out!

These two “squatches” look like the cavemen dudes in that car insurance commercial.

Have no fear, National Geographic will put their own, vile deprecating spin on this one too.

I still get worked up about how they made Igor look on the Carter Farm clip.

Well, at least we have seen these pics, so now some jokester can’t go off trying to pass them off for the real thing!

I think I read an article about the guy who had to make the costumes for the production had to do it very quickly in just a manner of days.

National Geographic has no need to “prove” evolution, as there was more than enough evidence for it even in Darwin’s time. Nat G has always had at least a passing interest in cryptids, I still have a 1977 edition that has a very lengthy and thoughtful article on the Loch Ness Monster. Having a cable channel now, no doubt they’ve learned what the Learning Channel has when they put on all those UFO documentaries- weird sells.

As a complete side note, I had no idea how closely related Almas are to Klingons. Just check out the guy to the right! Qaplah!

I have to agree, those costumes are horrible. My best friend and I could do better on 1/4 their budget. So, why is National Geo all of the sudden interested in crypto stuff anyway? They are one of the mainstreams for the idea that none of these critters could still be alive. In fact they have been one of the main financial supporters of anyone willing to “prove” that the “old school evolution” is true.

BTW,

The West side of North Mountain has very lush forest with a carpet of green moss covering everything since the range serves to shield the area immediatley West of it from the sun for almost half the day. Some places are like a tropical rainforest during the warmer months.

That location was in Hedgesville, WV about 8 miles from me. It’s at the base of North Mountain a ridge that runs just West of Martinsburg. An article that ran in a local paper said that the location had a very similar look to it to the East Asian counterpart. Maybe that has something to do with how the “tree of heaven” has taken over in lots of places along with limestone outcroppings everywhere. Shanghai, WV is only 10 miles south.

The rumor was, around here, for a while that some physical evidence was found for BF and film crews were here to document it.
