New Bigfoot Footage
cryptozoology.com ^

Posted on 03/20/2006 1:57:32 PM PST by pcottraux

The video can be seen here. Scroll down just slightly to "Mary Green Video."

Watch the video carefully. Behind a grove in the backyard, you can see what appears to be an ape-like head. The creature seems to be looking off in another direction, then turns it head slightly. It even seems to be chewing something.

Myself, I found the video to pretty hard to determine. It's not nearly as clear as the classic Patterson footage. This could be an ape-like face we're looking at, or it could be any number of other things.

Maybe Bigfoot hides as well as this coyote in NYC, Central Park? I don't know but it could be the case.

Wily coyote finally captured in Central Park
AP Updated: 1:32 p.m. ET March 22, 2006

"The coyote, nicknamed Hal by Parks Department staffers, may have wandered into the city from Westchester County, perhaps swimming across a river, Benepe said. Another coyote found its way to Central Park in 1999 and is now kept in the Queens Zoo. "

“It’s very unusual to have them in Manhattan,” he said. “They have to be particularly adventurous.”

No problem...there are still a lot of people that can't get broadband (like my mother, out in the boonies, no cable, no DSL, 32K max. connection). I am sure Jim R. could implement post editing easily, I think it is just that we use this forum as an "archive", so editing would defeat the purpose. There are probably several threads on the subject somewhere.

Ah, apparently people CAN take sharp pictures of animals.
When they exist, that is. And a coyote moves faster then bigfoot is supposed to move.

I felt to post about Dermal Ridges since you mentioned the speed of Bigfoot.

I would be remiss to not do so and it would be silly. For info on the impressions left behind by the beast see below.

I'll add more a little later.

Nice flashlight! I got one almost like that.
Real neat LED-flashlight from Ebay, only a few bucks cause it's made in china!

Concerning the "dermal ridges"... there is a reason priamtes have dermal ridges from left to right, not from front to back. It is to get extra grip. Very usefull if you walk on naked feet. Those "dermal ridges" also seem rather humangous. They should be smaller. To me, they look like cracks in the material used to fashion the stamp to make the footprint. Not to uncommon when using latex.

I hear ya... Actually one guy, a skeptic on the documentary, made a cast of his own foot. Then he placed the latex/"some material" in a vat of water/"solution" to make the cast expand.

He replicated his foot to be the size of say 24 inches. But he said it is highly unlikely that someone would spend 8 hours or a day to make one or two cast.... to then go place it in hidden places that no one is likely to find.

However, he did say that a giant foot impression could be duplicated.

According to the late Grover Krantz (1931 - 2002)(1 of the 2 bigfoot professors that you ripped),....

he said that he knew of some 5 features that are common on Bigfoot castings. He said he made 2 or 3 attributes known to the public and that he kept/would keep 2 secret to know whether the print was real.

Maybe he passed this information onto Dr. Meldrum, who knows.

Yeah, Krantz was The Man, as far as sasquatch research goes. IMHO, he was quite correct when he said the only way for sasquatch to be accepted is to take (as in shoot) a type specimen. The kook community was all up in arms about that. And the True Believers (those who call themselves skeptics) aren't worth listening to on a good day.

(I pretty much done posting here unless I'm contested, until next time)


Dr. Meldrum is also noteworthy.

Umatilla National Forest 1996
Blue Mountains, Walla Walla, Washington
Dr. Meldrum's castings and

the Midtarsal Break

Excerpt:

"The tracks measured approx. 13 3/4" long by 5 1/4" wide. Step length (not stride) ranged from 3.25-4.25 feet. "

"What Meldrum found to be the most interesting observation in this trackway was the evidence of great flexibility in the midtarsal joint. Several footprints showed this midtarsal break, (flexed at midfoot) and therefore created "half tracks".

Other examples of half tracks have been found in California - Blue Creek Mountain Road, 1957, Washington - Grays Harbor County, 1982, there were examples of a midtarsal break in some of the tracks at the Patterson filmsite to, as well as other areas.

The second photograph is a footprint that showed the midtarsal break. It also has another interesting features; toe slide-ins. This footprint was found going up an incline and because of muddy conditions the foot had slipped back leaving toe slide-ins.

The reason only half of the foot registered is that the heel was elevated upon impact (presumeably flexed at midfoot). The proportions of this half track agreed with the full-length tracks. Without toe slide it measures about 8" long and is slightly over 5 1/4" wide. "

***********************************

Dr. Grover S. Krantz

Double ball:

"Many plaster casts and photographs of footprints have been examined in detail which were reportedly made by a species of bipedal primate, the sasquatch or bigfoot. They prove not to be simply enlarged human footprints but show several peculiarities. These include flat arches, a double ball, and enlarged heels. Examination of leverage mechanics of the human foot indicates that with excessive body weight certain modifications would be advantageous. The expected modifications are the same as those seen in the reputed sasquatch footprints."

I think it's Chewbacca. And I'm pretty sure that Helen Thomas is really Darth Sidious dressed in drag! The resemblance is uncanny!

I started the crypto ping list a few weeks ago, so it's fairly new. Lately it's been a little slow (lots of squirrel-rats and woodpeckers) but it seems to be getting more interesting.

Make sure I'm on it!
