Bigfooter Richard "Rip" Lyttle, Gone but Not Forgotten

R.I.P., Richard "Rip" Lyttle, 

one-time Bluff Creek Film Site Project member, and a great guy. He has passed on, at only sixty-one years of age. He did a lot in his relatively brief lifetime. Would that he had lasted into his eighties, as so many Bigfooters seem to do these days.

As is often the case in rural settings as isolated as Humboldt County, we only heard about his passing a month later, when Loren Coleman got wind of it somehow. He wrote a nice obituary: http://www.cryptozoonews.com/lyttle-obit/

If you knew Rip, and have any news as to what happened, his widespread friends and Bigfooting associates would like to know. A cause of death was not released. Please do let us know. His intelligence and good humor are missed by all of us who knew him. The last I heard from Rip personally was a few months ago, in one of his regular phone calls. He seemed fine, and in good spirits, then.

Bigfoot's bLog did a long interview and discussion piece with Rip, which can be found through the following link. Also there at the end of the interview are some of the Bluff Creek Film Site Project videos featuring Rip when he was an active member with us in the quest to find and document the site of the Patterson-Gimlin film. Give this a read. I think it is the longest piece on record of Rip's thoughts on Bigfoot and the pursuit of cryptids in general.

Here Rip meets up with his old friend Larry Lund at Bigfoot Books,
a few years ago.

Larry Lund send a brief memorial of Rip out today.

"To those who may not already know, my old friend and “Defense Attorney”  from our WBS  Bigfoot Murder Trial, passed away on October 4th.  Rip was only 61 and I have not yet heard the cause of death.  Bill Dranginis and Bob Chance will be going to Annapolis to speak at his service. I last saw Rip down at Steve’s Bigfoot Book Shop in Willow Creek a few years ago. He always made me laugh and was a good friend. What more can you say about a guy who kept you out of prison?

Maybe now he can see where all the Creatures are hiding.

RIP   It truly means Rest In Peace

All The Best,

Your Friend Always,

Larry Lund"

One thing people may not know is that Rip Lyttle organized and taught a university-level class on Bigfoot. I have a bunch of video clips from this that Rip gave me, but they are fragmentary. I will try to publish a few more on YouTube, but here is one that I posted a while back. Enjoy! Rip would want you to have a rip of this, in his memory.

CryptoBlast "Interview with a Critical Thinker," That Being This Blog's Own Steven Streufert

Here's Part One and Part Two of a long, written interview with the CryptoBlast blog. Part Three, the conclusion will be coming next week. This was 20 pages in WORD when all was said and done, so each segment is 6-7 pages long.

Who is Steven Streufert? You might have seen him on a Bigfoot documentary on Destination America, or in the movie Willow Creek, or even on Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot. He is the owner of the infamous Bigfoot Books bookstore in Willow Creek and an online blogger who is affiliated with the Bluff Creek trail cam project. We sat down with Steven and asked him a series of questions on the topic of Bigfoot. What is he? is he a skeptic? A researcher? A hater? Let's dive into the complex mind of a man that Rictor Riolo from Bigfoot Bounty calls a walking Bigfoot encyclopedia!
http://thecryptoblast.blogspot.com/2016/10/interview-with-critical-thinker-steven.html

Last week we began our 3-part interview with Steven Streufert of Bigfoot Books. This Monday Steven talks about the pros and cons of having the most crucial Facebook group for the study of Sasquatch, social media's influences, his involvement with TV/movies, and what gives him the biggest headache when it comes to being one of the most hated and admired personalities in the world of Sasquatch.

Lecture on Bigfoot at Freshwater Grange from HSU Professor

Doctor Richard Stepp, meteorologist and physicist for decades at Humboldt State University, gave a public talk on Bigfoot at the Freshwater Grange Friday evening. There was also a nice potluck at this cozy rustic venue.

Here is the Youtube video:

https://youtu.be/4Ge2EWN-QBs

R.I.P. Ray Crowe

LONGTIME BIGFOOT RESEARCHER, RAY CROWE, HAS PASSED AWAY.

Loren Coleman had the news today. Ray had a heart attack in a care facility for vets.

Read a touching obit about Ray written by his friend
http://www.cryptozoonews.com/crowe-obit/

Ray was famous for his "The Track Record" newsletter, which usually bore the humorous (and serious) admonishment, "KEEP YOUR SKEPTICALS ON."

He ran the Western (International) Bigfoot Society during a crucial period where the hype of the seventies had died out, but before the big transformation of Bigfooting in the late nineties, with the advent of the influence of the internet.

RIP, Ray. You'll be missed.

It's a bit shocking to hear this today, though we'd long heard his health wasn't good, but just this morning I'd received an email from Larry Lund that said Ray was doing better.
"For those interested, Ray is doing much better and the Doctor is saying he expects Ray to be around for at least another year. He has been transferred to a new Veterans Care Facility in Lebanon, Oregon. Here is the address that you can send correspondence to. For now, just send it to Charles R. Crowe in care of the facility. I should have the exact mailing directly to him and will post it immediately. Any questions you may contact me at any time.
Charles R. Crowe
600 North 5th Street
Lebanon, OR. 97355
Till I know more…..
All The Best,Larry"

The Track Record Update: Ray Crowe--Who Is This Guy, Anyway?

Nickowitz Fire Still Burning above Bluff Creek and Bigfoot Historical Zone

NEWS UPDATE:
Burning since lightning struck on August 1st, the Nickowitz Fire is still active right above the historic Bluff Creek Bigfoot area. It burned within only a half a mile of the Patterson-Gimlin Film Site, as you may see in the following graphic. This was the closest the fire burned, in mid-late August.

CLICK TO ENLARGE IMAGES

Currently the fire has been largely contained, but is still active in hot, dry conditions, with occasional winds coming off the coast to the inland. It will likely burn until the first heavy rains of fall. Here is the current official ops map for Sept. 11th. The PGF site is a small red dot to the right.

Bluff Creek itself remains closed, with heavy penalties if you go up there (so don't). The roads away from the fire and the creek basin, The G-O Road to 12N12, Slate Creek, and Cedar Camp are still open, as is the Fish Lake/Onion Mountain (Bluff Creek) Road up almost to Onion Lake (which latter is in the closure zone).

Here is the map detailing the road/area closures that are still in effect indefinitely.

Fire Update: Nickowitz Fire, above Bluff Creek.

NEWS FLASH: FIRE NEAR PATTERSON-GIMLIN FILM SITE

Fire detail, showing just how close the
fire is to Bluff Creek Bigfoot history.
Click Map to Enlarge for Detail

The NICKOWITZ FIRE continues to burn and move on its southern and western flanks, away from the fire line above the PGF site, but slowly creeping toward Notice Creek. Conditions now aren't bad, but a sudden change in the winds could spell disaster. The area around the fire, including the whole upper Bluff Creek basin in now CLOSED until the fire is considered to be out. This could mean the entire remaining summer-fall season. This fire started at the beginning of August, and was due to a lightning strike.

BLUFF CREEK PROJECT Trail Camera Funding Drive Back in Action

BLUFF CREEK PROJECT NEWS:

The Bluff Creek Trail Camera Project funding drive is back in action for Summer, 2015.

Here's the latest great wildlife video the project has gotten...

 You, too, can participate in this public, crowd-sourced research project by sponsoring a camera to be placed in Bluff Creek or at the PGF site. Even small donations covering batteries and bear boxes help. All funds to to supporting the equipment, and not to buying beer or toys for the Project members.

Here's the link to the IndieGoGo page...

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bluff-creek-trail-camera-project-summer-2015#/story

*

Here's the latest update from Jamie S.

"Summer 2015 Update:
We had a pretty crazy winter out on Bluff Creek. We had multiple Mountain Lion encounters with the cameras and many huge bears. The animals seemed to stay longer in the creek than usual. Over the last few years there was almost no animal activity from December through February. We had bears and deer all winter long walking in front of the cameras. I am still editing the videos. We have many hours of footage to assemble. We did have many camera malfunctions over the winter as well. The two older Bushnell cameras at the film site had stopped working after only one month of filming. It continuously recorded for two days straight then filled up the 32gb memory card. The other camera only functioned for a few days. It's not too bad because we had five cameras installed there overlapping the area. Our brand new camera at the MK Davis site had also failed. There was no memory card in it. I had noted that a card was installed and I am sure there was one in it when we bolted it to the tree. I think it was stolen by someone hiking the creek, but it is possible it was just simply an oversight. This season we hope to retire all of the older cameras and replace them with four new Bushnell Trophy Cams. We have bear boxes for everything already and I have purchased some high quality boron carbide master locks. We also were able to purchase a brand new Bushnell camera with a generous donation from a family who came down to the film site with us in June. So that camera is operating now in a new location adjacent to the film site. We hope this season will be better than the rest and we will concentrate of dialing in our camera traps and securing them.

Winter 2015 update:It's that time of year again. We need to raise funds to buy batteries for our trail cameras. It costs $12.90 for a single set of batteries for the trail cams. We use Energizer Lithiums so they're not cheap. If we buy in bulk it's about $1.07 a battery. We have twenty cameras to service so it all adds up. We would also like to purchase at least two new Bushnell HD cameras to install at our second location at the high lakes on the ridge over Bluff Creek. These cameras are currently $144.99 on Amazon.com right now and we would like two to replace two aging units that are starting to malfunction. All the cameras down at the film site have been running for three months straight now and we can't get in there to service them until May. Until then they will continue to document the wildlife and hopefully a Bigfoot.

Fall 2014 update:9/30/2014We just finished servicing all of the cameras to prepare for winter. All of the cameras have fresh batteries and are armed. We had an incredibly successful summer down on Bluff Creek. We were able to make four trips down to the film site and install three new cameras, as well as six new bear boxes. We raised a lot of money over the summer and were able to purchase two brand new 2014 Bushnell MAX Black HD cameras. These new Bushnell cameras are incredible. They take HD video while simultaneously capturing 8mp still photos for high resolution analysis. We are so stoked on these cameras that we want to focus on replacing a couple of our older cameras with these new models. After some calculation I have determined that our optimum number of trail cameras in the field is 25. Right now we have 19 operating cameras. Nineteen cameras is a lot to service but I feel comfortable handling up to about 25 at our current labor capacity. They take three people two days to service all of them, and they cost $382 for batteries for the whole year. I had a few people asking about donating to project after the Summer crowdfunding campaign ended so I decided to start a fall campaign. For more details about our project please visit out facebook page and watch our videos on youtube."

BLUFF CREEK PROJECT Now Has a Blog.

The BLUFF CREEK PROJECT has a new blog up that has handy links to the project including its Facebook page, its trail camera results and video links, trip reports, the public research funding page, information about the Project and how to contact it. There is even a new page featuring directions to the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film Site on Bluff Creek.

Check it out at: http://bluffcreekproject.blogspot.com/

As a sampler, here is one of our latest videos, captured by two cameras right on the famous film site. Enjoy!

New Jonny Dagger "Scientific" Paper Seeks to Prove Bigfoot with Chewed and Stacked Prey Animal Bones

Is this man really a scientist?

Yep, he's not a college professor, and he's not a scientist, and he is not a Special Ops commando. He is the co-author of a verbose impersonation of science in the newly-released 80-page "treatise" called, "Using Biotic Taphonomy Signature Analysis and Neoichnology Profiling to determine the identity of the carnivore taxa responsible for the deposition and mechanical mastication of three independent prey bone assemblages in the Mount St. Helen’s ecosystem of the Cascade mountain range." No kidding, that was long. Were all of those big words necessary? Read the paper through the link below, or just read our paraphrastic translation into common English, which we offer here.

There are 80 pages of this complete overblown pseudoscience, plus notes.

Get the full four megabyte PDF here: http://1drv.ms/1BnR9hm

Mitchel Townsend, a.k.a., "Jonny Dagger," a fake paramilitary Bigfoot hunter often seen on YouTube, seems to mix fantasy and reality, having his fictional character discover his "real life" piles of bones supposedly gnawed upon by an unknown giant hominid.  In real life he is a sometime Continuing Education teacher who likes to  pretend he is a college professor. Could it be that his macho commando alter-ego is a form of compensation for inherent nerdiness? Read our translation below and see if his writing makes any sense at all. You might have already heard about him, but not Jonny Dagger, through this Yakima Herald article:
http://www.yakimaherald.com/news/state_news/proof-of-bigfoot-is-in-the-bones-winlock-man-says/article_03b195ef-a782-58e9-823a-9f1a97bf6b5b.html

Watch the Johnny Dagger identity blend with the College Nerd one here, on his YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTlzHFvjLHkqYvF8w-vE4QA

HERE IS OUR TRANSLATION, FOLLOWED BY THE ORIGINAL TEXT OF THE TITLE AND ABSTRACT PARAGRAPH:
Studying some decaying bones and tracks we think were left by a predator we look at the shape of the pile and chewing marks on three piles of dead stuff found near a volcano in Washington.
We found three piles of bones and some things that looked like tracks near Mount St. Helens that we thought we could study for the decay of the bones and look of the tracks that to us could only be a new kind of predator. This mountain is in Washington, in a long western range going up to Canada from NorCal. We want to sound pretentious in this paper that pretends to show facts and coherent thought about some dead bones and tracks we found. But I already said that. We're comparing three piles of this junk and some tracks. Our assumptions about this will be compared to a bunch of other widespread claims people make (about Bigfoot). We think we've gotten rid of all other possible animals that could have left this piling of bones, and we thought we'd better consider all kinds of theories from all over the place, and pretend to be scientists. This took us like years, so we hope others will like our paper and look for their own piles of dead stuff. Heck, maybe we can even impress some real scientists or academic dudes? Maybe they'll take us seriously and look into this stuff we pretentiously present in this overwritten paper. We use some big words that aren't really necessary, then we tell some stories about our "research," then we tell you about how we looked at this stuff and presumed Bigfoot did it, so we call for more people to look at what we're saying.

The Original Text:
"Using Biotic Taphonomy Signature Analysis and Neoichnology Profiling to determine the identity of the carnivore taxa responsible for the deposition and mechanical mastication of three independent prey bone assemblages in the Mount St. Helen’s ecosystem of the Cascade mountain range
The discovery of three independent prey bone assemblages and track evidence within a 17 mile radius of Mount St. Helen’s [SIC] presented a unique opportunity to establish baseline Taphonomic and Neoichnologic profiles of a currently unclassified carnivore taxa. Mount St. Helen’s is located within the Cascade Mountain range ecosystem of central Washington State. This mountain range extends from Southern British Columbia to Northern California. The methodologies for this scholarly essay will focus upon chronologically presenting facts, measurements, and analysis based upon the discovery, collection, and synthesis of physical post mortem forensic evidence within an integrated Taphonomic and Ichnologic research framework. These individual and categorical conclusions will then be cross compared in the process of illuminating potential commonalities and evidence based linkages to geographically separated site and evidence profiles. The careful elimination of all of currently classified biological possibilities that may have been responsible for the deposition of this physical evidence required the expansion of methodology and scope of inquiry to include all possibilities both geographical and theoretical in the search for truth as required by the foundations of scientific inquiry. Furthermore, the conclusions drawn from this multi-year research effort should help to enable the collection and comparison of further regionalized prey assemblages against the baseline results of this study as well as encourage additional scholarly attention from anthropologists, forensics scientists, and wildlife biologists in a renewed effort to bring further understanding and clarity to the conclusions illuminated within this treatise. This effort is organized into the following main categories: taphonology and ichnology, discovery and collection narrative, taphonomic and neoichnologic research frameworks, evidence examination, evidence analysis, evidence conclusions, and a call for expanded cross disciplinary examination and discussion."
WHICH ONE MAKES MORE SENSE TO YOU?

What does this mean?: "...expansion of methodology and scope of inquiry to include all possibilities both geographical and theoretical in the search for truth." Nothing specific. It means, basically, having an open mind to everything, because we can't explain it otherwise, looking at all theories across the planet for this "truth" thing, because we all know that "science" doesn't know it already. This is CLASSIC bullshit paranormal-speak, pseudo-scientific babble, disguised as scientific discourse.

The paper features just about THE worst "Bigfoot" track ever.

Yes, there is no way it could have been... a porcupine.

"Scientific papers are for sharing your own original research work with other scientists or for reviewing the research conducted by others. As such, they are critical to the evolution of modern science, in which the work of one scientist builds upon that of others. To reach their goal, papers must aim to inform, not impress. They must be highly readable — that is, clear, accurate, and concise. They are more likely to be cited by other scientists if they are helpful rather than cryptic or self-centered."

SASQUATCH ONTARIO Hoax Exposed?

Recently, the famous YouTube page of Mike Patterson, aka SASQUATCH ONTARIO was shut down due to a copyright claim by the owner of the "habituation" property. The issue was some personal photos in the video, and the possible exposure of private identities. Mike, the beloved human of "Nephatia," a marble-loving, talking Bigfoot, has been expelled and booted from YouTube. Now there is a NEW Sasquatch Ontario page up, at least bearing that name, though it seems to be an anti-Mike page now, apparently run by the Property Owner. I think these two videos clearly reveal that Mike was a hoaxer, especially the audio one.

The OTHER side of the story?


This raw audio reveals more clearly than ever before that the Nephatia vocalizations were hoaxed.I think these videos were made by the property owner to expose the hoax. The audio is clearly recorded indoors with a close mic and wooden props, with no "Nature" sound effects or enhancements that Mike would usually add. The information in the preceding video is disparaging to Mike. This is a new account, appropriating the name of Mike's old one. There seems to be an undermining intent here.

MAN HAS NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE ENCOUNTERING A BLOBSQUATCH!

Here's a cautionary tale.... Pareidolia follows you wherever your mind goes! And... the clickbait sites are betting you'll want to believe it, or at least look long enough for them to make .001 of a cent.

Ohio Man Encounters and Photographs Multiple ‘Bigfoot Creatures’?

SERIOUSLY???????????

Apparently those vicious, dangerous Blobsquatches just ripped common sense right out of this guy's head. Really, there is nothing there but water, snow, and some barren trees. Apparently one is going to find whatever blob one wishes to by staring at the mound or rootball at center right.

This is actually a story of how BS stories spread. First it appeared on the "fake-news" site, Cryptozoology News dot com on June 2nd, 2015. Then it appeared on another site, Bigfoot Daily, on June 4th in the *exact* same words. Soon, I am sure, it will be featured credulously on Bigfoot Evidence.

Links, if you care to fall for the CLICKBAIT. I'd rather recommend boycotting these two sites, though:

Woo and Hoaxing Outweigh Reason at the Sasquatch Summit

I hate to have to say it, but I've made the personal decision to boycott the SASQUATCH SUMMIT this weekend. Why? Because it is enabling and promoting HOAXING and DELUSIONAL THINKING. Though there are indeed some good speakers on the roster, Bart Cutino cancelled when he heard Matthew Johnson was added as a speaker, Derek Randles is no longer appearing on the pop-up images of those presenting on the main web page for the event (though he does appear on the schedule and speakers list, his presence seems to have been demoted). With TODD STANDING and some real Woo-sters speaking, I can't see this turning out well at all. Even Jeff Meldrum is likely to get swept up in the complications of his association with Standing. This whole event will likely be nothing but a big argument about the "Sylvanic" garbage, and will vault the hoaxing Todd into the USA media, which is exactly what he wants. I cannot support or condone such a confused event. I had planned upon going, but no more.

Here is how the roster of speakers weigh in for the event...

Five MEGA-WOO characters.
One complete HOAXER.
Three rationalists.
Two guys I don't know of at all.
One cool country singer.
One Gimlin, who defies category.

Note in the following two poster versions how the speakers have changed. I don't see another current one, but Todd Standing has been moved into the prime-time Saturday HEADLINER spot where it is said "he releases all." Matthew Johnson's addition was not noted on a poster, but he stirred up so much controversy that he removed himself and declared that he would put on his own conference next year.

With the Woo-Woos defeating the rationalists in numbers already, who wins? Whose conference is this, anyway? Well, here is what I say...

TODD WINS!

It's just for attention, fame, and DVD sales. This imbecilic "protection" scheme of his worked to get him on TV in Canada before, and now he's aimed his con at the USA market. He wants to support legislation in the USA with supposed evidence gathered in Canada? He will be laughed out of Washington and Washington, DC. Hoaxing is inherently cynical. Standing is a hoaxer. Therefore he cannot really be sincere in his "protection" lobbying. This is a raw con. The mark is us, but namely the larger society of news consumers rather than the Bigfooting community. His aim is fame, with money to follow. He can simply produce the DVD on demand and sell it that way. The film is already basically in the can and done. He does not need $900K for any of this. I'm certain he won't raise the $900,000 he wants on his Kickstarter page, but events like the Sasquatch Summit will only raise his profile among the gullible.

Has Doctor Johnson Lost His Bigfoot Marbles? ORBS!

This stuff is beyond words, folks. As if "cloaking" were not enough.

Listen to a certified psychologist speak with invisible Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Forest People while their "orbs" dance around his bedroom. Hear his lady friend follow his lead even while she cannot see these things he claims to see. One suspects that the "orbs" he is seeing may be his own lost "marbles," or maybe just lights shining in his window from cars or maybe an airport nearby. Or, maybe, it's the very light from his own cell phone camera reflecting off objects in his room?

Here is what Matthew Johnson posted on Facebook today. Find the entire, astonishing video embedded below.

SOME QUESTIONS FOR MELBA KETCHUM ON BIGFOOT DNA THAT SHOULD BE ASKED IN THE INTERVIEW TONIGHT ON COAST-TO-COAST AM RADO

TONIGHT ON COAST-TO-COAST AM,
Bigfoot DNA Paper Publisher and Author and Apparently Editor and Peer-Reviewer of Her Own Paper, MELBA KETCHUM.

INFO HERE: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2013/02/17
Date: 02-17-13
Host: George Knapp
Guests: Dr. Melba S. Ketchum, Lynne D. Kitei M.D.
1st Half: Joining George Knapp, Dr. Melba S. Ketchum discusses the official release of her DNA analysis of possible Bigfoot hair samples.

That is right. Will they ask the tough questions, however?


An anonymous DNA Project insider sent these questions to me last night, and I think they are important. Here you go... maybe someone can get through and ask them live on the air?

SOME QUESTIONS FOR MELBA KETCHUM THAT SHOULD BE ASKED IN THE INTERVIEW TONIGHT ON COAST-TO-COAST AM.
(Submitted to me by someone who wishes to remain anonymous.)

1. Dr. Ketchum's excuse for not uploading the data to GenBank has been disputed by a scientist at Princeton. How does George know her "documentation" is valid? Is it something that could have been faked? Can he actually SPEAK to someone at GenBank to get a confirmation directly from them and NOT filtered through her?

2. Can he SPEAK with the editor of the "journal" where her paper passed peer review for direct confirmation of her story, including the sequence of events?

3. What is the name of the original journal?

4. Can this editor confirm the purchase of the journal?

5. How did Melba fund the purchase of this journal?

6. What scientific society owned it previously and how/why did they agree to the sale?

7. How much did acquisition of the journal cost?

8. What happened to the journal's staff and editor? Did they lose their jobs? If not, why are they not listed on the website?

9. Why didn't the purchase of the journal include its original website? Why throw together such a cheap-looking one with none of the standard information you see on other journal pages?

10. Why didn't she keep the original journal's name and publication record?

11. Why are there no citations for this journal?

12. Why is there no evidence of this journal ever existing before?

13. Who are these "top" geneticists who have come forward to review the paper?

14. Why must they be anonymous?

15. When they have their findings, will this be made public with their NAMES and professional credentials/affiliations provided? Or will this information also be filtered through her while they remain "anonymous?"

16. Why have two of her coauthors said that they never even saw the paper (as reported on JREF).

17. Why are her coauthors silent? Why have the coauthors not spoken up about their roles in the paper, or to defend its findings?

18. If GenBank's refusal of her data is legitimate, will she freely share this data with other researchers in an open-source manner?

19. Will she provide her data to Sykes? Immediately?

******

The best scientific news article questioning this study so far released, by Ars Technica:
http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/02/bigfoot-genome-paper-conclusively-proves-that-sasquatch-is-real/

URGH. I hope to have answers from my two scientist friends re. all of this soon. At this point it doesn't look good for "finding Bigfoot" with Real Science.
