In earlier posts I had talked about static and clicking that my audio recorder had picked up during 2 separate occasions when I ventured into the area going up to the nest.  I had Tony another SIR investigator listen to it.  He was intrigued and made a copy of the 2 occasions.  I knew he would be interested because he is in the process of making a documentary on the sizzling/zapping phenomena that Big Foot direct towards people.  I have stated in previous posts that some people in the Big Foot community feel it is infra sound but SIR and I feel that it may be more electrical in nature.  The possibility it may be both is another wrinkle in this mystery.  As I think on what I know and experienced it may be both.  If you asked me a few weeks ago I would have said it was electrical and not infra sound but  as a person who tries to look at all the evidence there are clues pointing to both.  I have decided to let the evidence lead me to where the truth lies.

What is very interesting to me is that most of the reports has physical signs of this being manifested in the affected people.  I am included in this when I was zapped over a year ago when I inadvertently came across one while it was watching children playing on rocks.  The 2 incidents with the static and clicking last month was different.  I felt/heard nothing and only found out when I listened to my audio.  That alone tells me that there is more to this puzzle than what most people have been thinking. 

I am wondering if they have a young one now.  This may be why I was being scanned.  When I had ventured into the nesting and surrounding area last summer and fall my audio did not pick up any static or clicking.   In fact this is the first time at this location that I have recorded static and clicking.  With this in mind I will be doing some modifications to how I will be investigating my research area.  I will keep you posted on how this plays out.  My intent is not to put them on high alert or have them scare me out of the area.  I will to be respectful and let them call the shots.  They will let me know when they don't want me there.  I'm hoping some strawberries will sweetened their outlook.

As I have said before this journey is amazing and full of unexpected surprises.

SQUATCH ON!

I had the pleasure of camping the weekend before Mother's Day with some other investigators to check on an area in Pike National Forest.  It was a fun and exciting trip.  We weren't sure of what we would find in this spot.  We were pleasantly surprised.  We used a new technique which I will not divulge, that has been successful in 3 other spots.  So we tried it here every night hoping to get similar responses.  BINGO!  Early Saturday morning around 5 am I woke up to hearing their response.  What a great way to start our weekend!

Every night there I heard movements all around us while in the tent.  It is a little discerning knowing something is walking close by and it sounded bipedal.  Waking up to hearing pebbles thrown on the side of the tent over by 2 of the investigators was an experience I have heard twice now.  I think they do this to see if we are awake.  The sound is soft but distinct.  Walking around and opening our containers was clearly heard by me.  Also knocks were heard off and on every night while I was outside and in the tent.  I was tired when I went home Monday afternoon.  You don't really sleep and when you do finally go to sleep it is not for a long stretch and not very deep.

My favorite equipment while camping is my audio recorder.  I simply attach my detachable mic to the outside of the tent and just let it record.  It is amazing what you hear.  Right now I am going through 10+ hours.  So far just some talking and snoring from us, movements and something touching the mic which is 6 feet up.  When I get to what we call the witching hour (3-5 am) I'm hoping to be surprised. 

So my friends it is an ongoing exciting adventure that keeps getting better and better.

SQUATCH ON!

I have been lucky and blessed in many ways in my journey of discovery.  Sasquatch Investigations of the Rockies (SIR) and others have made my journey more enjoyable and fruitful.  I count them part of my extended family.  They have been gracious in reaching out and helping a totally but curious clueless person on her journey of discovery.  Without them I would be still struggling.  Meeting and making friends with others in the Big Foot community makes the journey even better.

I have the privilege of getting to know and investigate with SIR investigator Tony Lombardo.  He is producing a documentary on the sizzle or zapping that people have had happened to them that points to Big Foot.  I have asked him to write something to share on this blog.  I expect when this film comes out it will grab many people's attention.  He is a true researcher.  I count myself lucky to call him a friend. 


My interest in Bigfoot began at a very early age right after "Sasquatch, The Legend of Bigfoot" was released at the local theater. I was too young to see it and was left home. My sisters filled me in on the gory details the next day. The fascination festered, but did not materialize until I began going on expeditions in 2008 with the BFRO. It was not until then that I began to see things from the inside perspective. I'll never forget when we were briefed for the first night operation. Brandon Keil, who was the expedition leader, was talking about Sasquatches, there habits and behavior. That was the first time I heard someone speak of them as an extant species. On that trip one of the guys in another group (we were spit into three) spotted a Sasquatch through a thermal at about 50 yards. It was down in a river bottom and it turned its head and looked his direction. He freaked out and was visibly upset the next day and did not need any more convincing. After this trip, I was hooked and could not wait to go again.

I don't remember exactly when I caught wind of this strange phenomena, but I heard stories of it several time and found it fascinating. The next thing I needed is motivation and I got that from attending one of the local film festivals in California in 2010. Some of the entries that year were poor quality and not very interesting. I convinced myself I could make something that had both those elements and if this subject matter is not interesting, I don't know what is. And so the journey began. I did not have any formal training to produce, edit and direct a documentary, so I had to learn fast and made all my mistakes early -planning is everything. I learn best through trial and error. My first thoughts were that I needed some heavy hitters in the science community to give the film some credibilty - Jeff Meldrum, John Bindernagel and Kathy Strain. John Bindernagel is one of the nicest people you could meet. He was not willing to comment on this phenomena because he was not familiar with it. In any event, I got some great material to use from his interview commenting on the discovery of Sasquatch.

Everything in the Bigfoot world goes through Dr. Jeff Meldrum at one point, or another. My first attempts to set up an interview with him failed. I decided that he must have reached the e-mail/phone call saturation point. I finally met up with him at the "Proof of Evidence" seminar in St. George Utah. To my surprise there were very few people attending, so I had full access to him. He was very gracious and agreed to an interview a few weeks later at Idaho State. There is a small section in his book dedicated to the subject of infrasound and Jeff had a few experiences of his own. He spoke candidly about it, but chose his words carefully, as most scientists that sign a talent release form will do. All theory towards infrasound is only conjecture at this point. Jeff is a seasoned pro when it comes to interviews as he has done quite a few. I enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. He is a good person and true professional. I'm glad he is on our side.

Kathy Strain just had a Class A sighting just a week before I interviewed her. She was very humble about it and yet excited it happened. She has a very closed relationship with the local tribes in California and was very familiar with this phenomena. Native Americans do not have a name for it, as far as we know, but in her book there are many passages that reference this same experience reported today. The Native American connection was very important to me for this project. Their culture has a deep understanding and respect for the local flora and fauna that the white man never will. To discount their stories and folklore would be foolish.

When I first called Mike, I must have spent more than an hour on the phone and divulged just about everything about his research. I was drawn to SIR because this phenomena had been occurring on a regular basis and so much so that they coined a name for it "Sizzling." This was also the first time anyone had every suggested it could be electrical. If I was going to get a chance to record this event, this would be it. All other accounts of it were singular and random in nature. He invited me out to visit all his locations the following July and I could not wait. Mike's hospitality and generosity was unmatched and I knew we would become friends. He picked me up at the airport an we spent the entire week in his remote locations. While up in the flat tops, I was sure that I felt the sensation of being sizzled-although it was mild by most accounts. Unfortunately, I was not well versed on the recording equipment I brought and just brushed it aside and just settled for my digital recorder which I kept on the entire trip.

In closing, what I have learned about this energy so far is very little. The symptoms described by witnesses have characteristics of both sound and electricity. I have not yet given experimentation a good college try, but I believe the best is yet to come. We (SIR) have a location where this happens on a regular basis and a golden opportunity to record it.

I hope you enjoyed what Tony has shared as much as I did.  There are many unexplained things that happen in the world of Big Foot.  People like Tony will help solve some of them.

So my friends we will continue our endeavor to unlock some of these mysteries of Big Foot.

SQUATCH ON!

 

Saturday was a busy day for my husband and I.  As early as possible we went to the research area.  I wanted to go back into where I was the week before.  In my last post I had talked about the static and clicking I heard on my audio.  How I may have been scanned by my forest friends.  As a person who truly wants only honest and accurate data and evidence in my endeavor, I went back and did the same thing again.  To my surprise I had the static and clicking.  It was suggested by another researcher to have another audio going to see what happens.  So in a few weeks I will be doing this.  I am anxious to see the results.  I am also curious to see if this will happen when I venture to the nesting spot.  I'll keep you in the loop when I do.

 

After leaving the research spot, we traveled to a state park.  I was curious to see if I will find some evidence of Big Foot activity there.  So far I have been to 10 state parks and 5 have signs of Big Foot activity.  Now I can add another state park to having signs of Big Foot.  At this park because of the geography and location I feel that they only use or travel through the park.  It was a nice spring day and a great way to spend an afternoon here in Colorado.

 

Since Saturday, I have been researching other state parks to determine the possibility of Big Foot.  There is one that is more to the east in Colorado and not close to the mountains.  I am curious to see if they are using this park.  If so I'm not surprised.  So far in this journey anything is on the table for possibilities with Big Foot.  Their intellect and resourcefulness has been a wonder to discover. 

 

So my friends, the journey continues.

 

SQUATCH ON!      

The weather here in Colorado has been crazy.  Our winter was in March and April.  I am ready for the snow to move on.  The cold and snowy conditions here in Colorado had slowed down my research.  Finally today was perfect to go out.

I decided to venture into the lower areas of my research spot but not too close to the nest.  As I'm walking around the area I noticed 2 new X's and a few new tree breaks.  The X's like the one pictured here which usually means to stay out.  Both X's are located where you would start to go up to the nest.  The tree breaks I am not worried about but I do worry about the X's.

So I'm wondering if the X's are directed towards me.  They know that I am aware of the nest and the surrounding area.  In the past I have been able to wander around without them having issues.  Today I only wandered around at the base of the area.  Just below where I had the 3 glimpses of them last year.  I heard a very loud wood knock while in there.  The birds were doing alarm calls off and on the whole time I was there.  I'm pretty sure the calls were not directed towards me.

When I came home I listened to my audio.  I knew there was a knock at about an hour into my investigation.  After listening to my audio I was amazed.  I had 2 knocks recorded, rock clacks and had static and some type of clicking that were recorded while I was in certain areas exploring.  I only heard the one knock.  More was going on that I was aware of.  I am pretty sure they were there watching me.  I will tell you why:

•  Alarm calls from birds all around me.  Some were close and some were in the distance.
• One large bird flew away in a hurry down the ravine towards me.
• 2 knocks.  I heard one and the other was recorded by my audio.  They were 30 minutes apart.
• The rock clacks were recorded by my audio between the 2 knocks.
• I have static recorded off and on by my audio.  ???  I am in a forested area.  What caused the static?  This static is only in certain spots.  It is not heard anywhere else I went but at those spots.  
• I have some type of clicking that may be electrical in nature.  At least it seems to me.  Again only at certain spots.

When I heard the static I am fairly certain what caused it and why.  I have recorded this static in the past at 2 other locations.  The clicking I think is related to the static.  I believe this static is Big Foot related.  Hear me out before dismisses this as my imagination.  I think I was being scanned by them while at the base area of the nesting spot.  I think the static was a full blown scanning because of where I was.  The clicking was when I was walking to the side and away from the nesting area.  I am pretty sure the static was when I was facing or walking towards where the nest is.  I was totally unaware of this going on.  I did not have an inkling until I listened to my recorder.

 

If you have not heard of this before about Big Foot I will briefly explain to you.

 

1. Eye shine reported that are Big Foot related.  This eye shine is seen without a light being shined into the eyes.  When you shine a light into an alligator's eyes the light is reflected back to you from their eyes.  Cat's eyes will do the same thing.  This is what we are familiar with.  How do you explain about Big Foot eye shine when there are no other lights around?  I have seen this personally.  They are able to do this.  How and why is unknown.
2. People reported about being zapped or sizzled by Big Foot.  The symptoms are similar to electrical shock.  Within the Big Foot community there is a theory that it is done by infra sound.  Sasquatch Investigations of the Rockies (SIR) and I feel that it is electrical in nature just by analyzing the symptoms that people describe.  I have had this directed at me about a year ago.  I have posted this in an earlier posting.  You are welcome to go back and read it.  I popped back behind a large rock when this happened.  
3. When I was camping with another investigator last July, we had a 9 inch rock thrown at us one evening.  When we went to bed we had at least 2 Big Foot walking around us while we laid there listening.  On my audio recorder and also on Theresa's we had static but only when they were right next to us when they were stalking us.  We don't know how and why we would have static.  Our audio recorders only had this during this stalking time.
4. My husband and I went camping and I left my audio on while we slept.  On it you could hear something walking around and then I had static off and on for a few minutes.  Again don't know why and how.

After those 2 episodes and learning about the symptoms of electrical shock it made sense about the eye shine with Big Foot.  Somehow they are able to use their eyes in some type of electrical adaptation.  I feel that they are able to scan.  Again the how and why is unknown.

 

If you are wondering how this is possible you need to go back to what we see in nature.  There are animals who use electricity.  Eels and deep water fish are able to generate electricity for their use.  All of us generate electricity.  It seems some have adapted this to help with their survival.

 

I know this is a long posting.  I hope I have opened some new possibilities and ideas.

 

Squatch On!    

My husband and I met up with another investigator and his wife on Saturday.  Our plan was to find a camping spot that would accommodate many people next month.  This was a tall order.  Luckily we found the perfect spot.  The signs of BigFoot was everywhere.  All who come camping will have an opportunity do some investigating and spend time with like-minded people.  If we have some big, upright, hairy visitors visiting, all the better.

The other investigator had found on President's Day a structure not far from the camping spot.  On the way there he spotted another structure!  We did some investigating and then went to the original spot.  We found some arches and tree breaks close to the structures.  While walking around we knocked once and whooped.  We heard 2 knocks.  One to the east of us and another behind us to the west.  We then went back to our vehicles and talked.  A while later a man with his dog came walking by on the road.  He stopped and talked with us.  His dog greeted us.  Within a few minutes the dog's demeanor changed.  It hid behind my husband and then bolted into the other investigator's vehicle.  The dog refused to come out.  The owner dragged the dog out and put him down.  He bolted under the vehicle!  The owner kept saying that the dog had never done this before and must be tired from walking.  At this point my husband and I looked at each other and said BigFoot must be close by.  At this point I'm looking around.  I didn't see anything but I really did not expect to.  The man finally dragged and then picked up the dog and started to walk away.  He put the dog down a few feet away.  The dog kept very close and behind the man.  The poor dog had his tail between his legs and kept looking left and one time to the right. 

This poor dog was scared and it wasn't us.  He detected the presence of at least 2 BigFoot.  The dog was looking in the direction of where we had heard the knocks.  We were pretty sure one was to the east of us and then at least another one to the left of us.  The four of us knew exactly what spooked the dog. 

Ya Gotta Love It!

Squatch On!

I have read many disturbing articles about people bragging that they killed or want to kill a BigFoot in the name of science.  So we would finally have a body.  To decide to do this in the name of research is fundamentally wrong.  Why do you have to kill something to prove it?  Just looking at our past should have us think twice and to be more respectful.  We have many species that are extinct due to this narrow and aggressive approach.  Our American history is filled with the horrible bigoted mindset on how we treated Native Americans as savages and had African people as property.  Ignoring their right as a fellow human being was terrible and down right wrong.  The DNA does show on the mother's side of BigFoot as human and the father's side as some type of great ape.  My mind boggles at the possibilities of this species.  They may be a type of primitive human.  Until we have more information and research done, the idea of killing one is wrong.  We need to err on the side of caution until we know.  Many reports from hunters have said clearly when they were looking at one and pointing a gun at him/her, had decided not to shoot because it looked too human and seemed wrong.

With this weighing heavily on my heart and mind, I asked SIR if we could put something on the website about the human part of BigFoot.  The open, respectful nature of SIR agreed to do this.  They now have a tab called Commonality of Bipedalism.  I am putting it in this post for you.  I encourage you to read this with an open mind and to check out www.sasquatchinvestigations.org.

Commonality of Bipedalism

“I am one of those who think like Nobel,

that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.”

Marie Curie

For over 400 years people in North America have been talking about an elusive something in our woods and forests.  Consistent descriptions of this elusive being have continued even to modern times.  Behavior, visual descriptions, sounds, smells and prints have been consistently reported.  Our imagination has been captured by the sensational coverage of our media.  Hoaxes have fueled our attention in our society.  The science community has largely ignored this phenomenon due to the sensational aspects of this mystery. 

For many years now a few brave and curious individuals have researched this phenomenon.  With their discoveries they have continued their quest for answers about this mystery.  Why would they continue?  They have found enough evidence to convince them that there is something BIG, HAIRY and WALKING ON 2 LEGS in North America’s woods and forests.  Many individuals have documented their findings.  Many of these researchers have found some shared common characteristics.

We at SIR would like to share with you our stories of their humanity.  It is these stories that have convinced us that the world of humanity is much bigger than we thought.

Robin Roberts Story
In the 1 ½ years of actively going out and researching this amazing being I have had several incidents that have pointed out the human side of Bigfoot. What has truly surprised me was the intelligence of them.  They are human smart and in many cases smarter than most people. There is a reason why they have been so elusive.  Our woods and forest is their domain and we are the visitors when we venture into these areas.
One incident that occurred last summer made me think of their intelligence, resourcefulness and humanity.  It made me rethink my perception of them from a creature to a being.

In July, I and another female investigator Theresa Yelek camped at a regular campground.  We placed our tent right against the fence line that separated the campground from the forest.  We had a very interesting Saturday night before falling asleep.  We heard them walking around our campsite and even our neighbors commented on hearing something big and noisy but they didn’t know what it was.

The next morning I walked around the campsite to see if I could see any impressions.
As I was walking around something didn’t seem right. It finally occurred to me that the fire pit didn’t look right.  I had made a fire the night before and when we were done I had poured water onto it to drown out the coals and embers.  That morning when I looked the embers and coal was scattered around inside the fire pit.
I walked around the pit and saw pieces of coal scattered on the outside of the fire pit.  I knew there shouldn’t be any on the outside. We had been very careful with our fire.  I followed a trail of dropped bits and pieces of the coal towards our tent that was by the fence. The coal was not there the day before or on Friday.  I had checked the whole campsite when we had set up.  Neither Theresa or I had removed any embers or coal from the fire pit.
It hit me that they must have taken some of the coal while walking around the night before.

In the past I remembered my grandmother talking about using charcoal for tummy aches. I have no doubt that they were there to gather supplies that would be hard to find in the forest. How resourceful.
Figuring out to come into a campground for an almost impossible resource is smart, human smart.  The possibilities of its uses are almost endless. This incident above all else convinced me that this was no ape or animal. It spoke of human reasoning.

We are setting ourselves up to failure when we classify them like we do with bears or other wildlife.

In case you haven’t figured it out when you put a trail cam up, they are watching you do this and will naturally tamper with it or avoid it.

I am truly amazed that people continue to do this and are surprised when they get no results.

We are making it easy for them. I feel the key to success is being respectful and thinking of their humanity.
Robin Roberts

I hope you enjoyed reading this.  It came from my heart.  I feel the key to unlock some of the mystery of BigFoot is their humanity.  Until we do, the mystery will stay where it is and all the efforts will be in vain.  To think like a squatch is to think like a human.  At least for this clueless person I will be using my humanity to reach out to their human side.

So my friends it is Onward and Squatch On!
