The Bigfoot Field Journal: Infrasound

Performing extensive research, I located and listened to any recording I could locate of a Bigfoot speaking. Mary Green’s book “50 Years with Bigfoot: Tennessee Chronicles of Co-Existence” was also used as a reference. Mary had compiled a dictionary of “Bigfoot” words, along with phrases based on a notebook kept by Janice Carter.

Big Foot was the chief of a subtribe of the Lakota called Miniconjou. He was very old and had pneumonia. He was taking his tribe to the Pine Ridge Reservation in south-western South Dakota.

When watching the film Bigfoot created in 1970 directed by Robert Slatzer and starring John Carradine and Joi Lansing I have made connections to the concepts and theories we have discussed in class. To name some of these theorists and concepts such as, Mary Douglas theory of dirt, Aristotle’s conceptualization of reproduction, Freud’s uncanny and the double, and Ann Ratcliff’s difference between terror and horror. Despite the terrible and cheesy 1970’s effects this movie is actually enjoyable to watch and the perfect movie for analyzing the theoretical concepts we have learned throughout the semester.

Bigfoot is NOT real. There is no evidence that he is part human, there is no DNA evidence, and there is no valid video or picture evidence that proves he is real. He is just a legend that has been passed down for years. It’s impossible for something that is 7-10 feet tall, covered in fur, and lives in the woods can survive for so long.

The Big Blackfoot River wasn’t just some river to the McClain’s family and became a way to stay in touch with one another. The impact it had on the brother’s relationship with their father, their own relationship, and Paul’s life in Montana made the river a sacred place for them. The shared many memories, laughter, and love on the Big Blackfoot

Throughout the 150 year history of Bigfoot many concerns have raised, the most in number have been from Native Americans. The Karok Indians tell of an “upslope person”

The Blackfoot People are one of the many Native American Indian tribes that roamed America in the early 1700s. Like many tribes they were nomadic hunters that lived in the Great Plains of Montana and the Canadian provinces of Alberta. The name is said to have come from the colour of the peoples shoes that were made of leather. They had typically dyed or painted the soles of their shoes black.

Bigfoot is a mythical legend that lives in the pacific northwest. Many people believe that Bigfoot is real, and others deny the existence of Bigfoot. People have made a living in trying to find Bigfoot. Animal Planet used to air a show called “Finding Bigfoot.”. There are multiple books about Bigfoot, numerous clubs, and many people dedicated to find the elusive Bigfoot. To become a Bigfoot quester you will need to obtain the knowledge of how the myth of Bigfoot surfaced, what Bigfoot is, and the evidence behind Bigfoot.

They described the beast as having a long neck followed a large body (see photograph 2) and they watched it until it left the road and entered the water.

Renne Dahinden, John Green, and Ivan T. Sanderson are some of the most famous Bigfoot investigators. In the 1960s these investigators wrote many books on many eyewitness accounts of Bigfoot. “But by far the most sensational, and hotly disputed, physical evidence of that period is the 28 second, 16 millimeter film taken in 1967 by Roger Patterson…which shows to be a female Bigfoot striding away from Patterson’s camera”( Simpson). Bigfoot could be more than a legend. In 2002 the discovery of Bigfoot’s butt print was found in Skookum Meadow in Washington.

Though today, the Blackfoot territory is defined by reserve/reservation boundaries and divided by the United States-Canadian border, their homeland, Nitawahsinnanni (“our land”), continues to be defined by topographical features using their language (The Blackfoot Gallery Committee, 2013, 12). This traditional homeland spans from the North Saskatchewan River (Ponokasisahta, the Elk River) as far south as the Yellowstone River, Montana (Otahkoitahtayi) and from the Rocky Mountains as far East as the “Great Sand Hills

What did the early American pioneers see when traveling the uninhabited wilderness of the early 1800’s? Could they have be seeing a black bear standing momentarily on its hind legs or was it actually what we now call Bigfoot today (“The Canadian Encyclopedia”). The origin of Bigfoot dates even further back to Native American myths portraying a large aggressive ape like animal walking on its hind legs eating children and animals (“New World Encyclopedia”). Since then there have been thousands of reports of supposed Bigfoot sightings including footprints, photos, videos and the actual carcass of a deceased Bigfoot. For over 80 years scientist have been discrediting the thought of the existence of Bigfoot, but throughout time scientist have

The first explanation that verifies why Bigfoot is fake is because of the lack of evidence. For example, according to the Fox article, no evidence in the form of fossils have ever existed. Also, "There's no hard evidence in the form of bones. There are no hair samples, there are

In the first encounter the Authors mentions the first time he saw to The Big Thicket. It was in the summer of 1973 and a school buddy and his little brother went camping with him. It was a place called the "Dynamite Ponds".He tells that somewhere between ten o clock and midnight something strange happens, his dog and Mike's dog (his buddy) both were barking to the opposite site he was about fall sleep and suddenly he could heard something walking around, it was a Big with long hair hanging from its long arms who was moving fast across the field and into the woods.
