The long awaited scientific paper on sasquatch DNA was published today, 13 Feb 2013. I am very excited that the blood sample that I obtained from Chatham, Illinois in September of 2011 was one of only three DNA samples nationwide in which a complete genome sequence was obtained. The blood sample came from a downspout that [...]
Once in awhile something very odd happens when I am recording. This past Thursday, the 29th of November, 2012 my wife and I were awakened at 12:30 a.m. I heard my dog whining on the back deck. I first thought she had been attacked by one of the dogs that travels occasionally past our home. [...]
There is an excellent article entitled Reference Species in this months’ issue of Bird Watchers Digest – Vol.35 No.2, November-December 2012. The concept discussed is to learn about a common bird species in order to distinguish other non-common birds from that species. Although the author is speaking particularly about visual cues the same concept can [...]
My grandson is two and half years old. And as such, like most toddlers, is challenged when it comes to language skills. He has pet names for people and things. He differentiates between two sets of grandparents by the names of our dogs. Hence my name is “Papa Belle”, and his other grandfather is “Papa [...]
Every year I return at least twice to the area where the Colorado Howl recordings were obtained the summer of 2009. The site is on a remote dead-end road, being 25 miles from the nearest pavement. I have spent many days there all alone enjoying the quietude. I arrived on Saturday, the 21st of July [...]
If there is one Achilles heal when dealing with sasquatch research it is behavior. Sasquatch, as do all species of animals, tend to display the same set of behaviors within their specific groups. One behavior that has been reported is the sasquatch affinity for domestic chicken. Several years ago I was asked by a fellow researcher to [...]
Since I was a child I have loved the the song the Teddy Bear’s Picnic. If you go out in the woods today You’re sure of a big surprise. If you go out in the woods today You’d better go in disguise. I have a few rules setup for myself when I am in the [...]
One common occurrence from people who believe they are having visits from sasquatch is gifts. This concept is not something new as it has been reported by witnesses for quite some time. We have lived in our present home for three years now. I do occasionally record unusual sounds coming from the woods that surround our [...]
This Spring I have posted about possible sightings of sasquatch riding on trains: Railroading Sasquatches and Railroading Saasquatches, Pt. 2. Until my experience on the 28th of March, 2012 I had never heard of or even considered the possibility of a sasquatch hitching a ride on a railroad. As soon as my encounter was known I was contacted [...]
Is has been known for a long time that sasquatches are sighted around railroad lines. It has often been thought that they use the right-of-way as an easy access point when traveling from area to area, similar to clear cuts for power lines. There have also been sightings along abandoned rail-lines that have been converted [...]
