Here We Go Again

Biography, Field Research, Uncategorized

I wondered how long it would be after John Green’s passing that one, MK Davis, and others would be on the air waves pushing their “Massacre At Bluff Creek” BS on the minds of the gullible?

When this first came out in the 2009/10 time frame I thought we had put this to rest. But like a bad rash, the infected are trying again on a number of you tube posts and Blog talk radio programs.

So, I have decided that I will republish the article which to any common sense mind out there will show just how out to lunch those are who are pushing what I consider the most outrageous conspiracy theory in the history of Sasquatch research.

The massacre at Bluff Creek

Malone Family Tracks

Sometimes, but not often, a sighting or a reported footprint find comes your way within 12 hours of the incident or finding.  That was the case recently when I had stopped by “The Happy Prospector” store just outside of Harrison Hot Springs, BC on July 17, 2018.

Steve Turnbull, owner and well-known artist in the area, and I were discussing a possible sighting he and two others had a year ago (August 2017) at the north end of Elbow Lake ( Steenburg File # 10210).  As we were talking, a visiting American family from Washington State (Malone) had entered to look around. The father, Kevin, had heard part of our conversation and told us that earlier that very day while he, his wife (Janine) and their daughter (Jenna) were hiking on Bridle Loop Trail, which is located just on the eastern part of town at the bottom of Bear Mountain, and found what looked like footprints. They took a few cell phone photos, one of which is below:

A number of photos were taken by the family near one of the trail’s small wooden bridges. To me looking at his cell phone, I thought they were worth investigating. Kevin also said he would email me the pictures when they got back.  He also drew me a map of the approximate location along the trail where he thought the tracks were.

I set out to find them an hour later just going by his map and what I could remember seeing in the surrounding area in the photos.  Well, I came across a number of small trail bridges along the trail whose purpose I believe is to let hikers avoid deep muddy parts during wetter times.  Not a problem this day. I found a number of impressions at different locations and everything from human boots prints to bears tracks and horseshoe tracks as well. Finally, I found the right ones. Below is my photo of the same possible track as Kevin took:

My 9 inch trail guide book in place were Kevin’s foot had been. There were a number of impressions at this location, mostly right on the trail itself. Placed there at a time and date when the surface was wetter and therefor softer. I have doubts that these footprints are Sasquatch in origin, but it is possible.  None in my opinion showed clear toe impressions and one would think they would judging from the depth they were in the ground at the time they were made? I can see why the Malone family thought they could be Sasquatch prints and why they caught their interest in the first place. However, looking at them on the ground did not impress me as much as they did in the cell phone photos. Later that day when I got home and checked my mail Kevin, true to his word, had sent me his cell phone photos confirming that I did indeed find the ones the family found.

So, in my opinion it is possible that these could be footprints left by a Sasquatch? Possible but I doubt it.

Now all in all it was a good presentation of an investigation on a case in which I was personally involved with at the time all this was occurring. But what I do not understand is why the most important part of that follow up investigation was left out? What I am referring to was the fact that Gerry Mathews and myself witnesses a coyote emitting these incredible cry’s on April 5th, 2006. Now I know Ken Kristian was aware of what Gerry and myself witnessed that day as we called him on Gerry’s cell phone even before we had left the area. He was disappointed of course, as we were ourselves, that it wasn’t a large primate. But the facts are the facts in research, even when the conclusion is not what you had hoped it would be! The Chehalis screamer, which terrified residents in the trailer park during this time, were a rare call made by coyotes! Not a Sasquatch.

The Making of Hominology


​It is very gratifying that the originator of a proposed scientific discipline has provided us with his knowledge and detailed justification for this discipline — The Science of Hominology.
Dmitri Bayanov (born 1932) worked directly with Professor Boris Porshnev and other early
Russian scientists investigating the possible existence of Relic Hominids.  Bayanov’s long journey began in the early 1960s and has continued until this day.  His books cover the subject from the dawn of written communications in Europe and Asia, and then in North
America.
Dmitri Bayanov coined the term “Hominology” and from the outset has sought to convince the general scientific community that there is enough evidence to move this subject from the realm of myth and “cryptozoology” to “true science.”  His “arguments” reflect his significant understanding of the subject and depth of his studies.
What he presents is truly convincing.
My personal opinion on this new publication is this: I have read it. I enjoyed it. I found it thought provoking.  I do recommend it.
