Bigfoot: Best Evidence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2021
- Bigfoot specialist and cryptozoologist Cliff Barackman explores the best evidence available for the existence of sasquatch as a real species. Barackman includes Indigenous artifacts, footprint casts, film and photo evidence, and more.
Cliff Barackman has been doing bigfoot field research since 1994. His expeditions have taken him to 46 states and five continents in search of evidence supporting the existence of undiscovered hominoids worldwide.
As the evidence analyst on Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot," Cliff has applied his skill and expertise to a variety of photographic, video, film, and sound evidence. He has appeared on many other television shows and documentaries as a bigfoot specialist and cryptozoologist.
Cliff is especially familiar with the footprint and handprint evidence for sasquatches, and he is the curator for one of the largest collections of cast evidence in the world. His collection includes impressions from North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Cliff and his wife Melissa own and curate the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, Oregon, which features the largest public collection of bigfoot evidence in the Pacific Northwest.
Besides his bigfoot interests, Cliff also is an accomplished guitarist. You can often find him quietly strumming on the porch of his rural property on the western slopes of Mount Hood, deep in the heart of sasquatch country.

I had a terrifying encounter in 2013 with a huge 9 or 10 foot male in northern Alabama. It has changed my whole life when it comes to walking in the woods. I never go alone, and i always carry protection. I used to love camping and hunting, now i stay at the recreation areas with other people near. I believe most are nice, but too many people disappear in the woods every year.
-> What Happened in your Encounter, if you don't mind my asking? I've been near them, I believe, several times in my life, CA & MN.. They are Interdimensional, Parapsychological Beings, Not regular Animals, period. Steve Isdahl of How To Hunt talks about them.. Divine Angelic Safeguarding, & Many Abundant Blessings, you, & ALL!! 😻🙇🏻♀️🙏🏼🕊️👼🏻🌆✨🌌🌟🪐🌝
@@samaraosborne1585 Thats the exact mumbo jumbo that drives everyone to think these arent real. Name one other animal that can even do that? get with it.
@@737simviatorthey're not an animal then.
@@737simviator Maybe a large dog is think or a large eagle who knows.
Your weapon is not enough should it decide to attack. Its not some dumb animal that will charge at you from 50 yards away in the open. It is a master of the environment in ways we can't comprehend. In the woods, humans are like clumsy children, compared to them. They would already know your route, where one of a family group would go ahead, while others shepard u to the kill zone. The one that went ahead would then drop down from the tree branches above and despatch u before u raise your gun. They go in trees, as there scent is harder to detect, but also like there typical food sources, deer, elk etc, humans don't look up into trees. Especially when a human is spooked with adrenaline surge. Humans look ahead, behind, 360 degrees, but rarely up. They know we don't look up.
I've also heard a Native lady say of this rock art that BF is crying b/c he doesn't want them to be scared of him. Everyone was running away when they saw one. BF was lonely b/c of this. SO....there's always another story it seems. I'm Native American. My tribe considers them to be just another type of people. One tribe even spoke their language and traded with them. He came to help my tribe with the planting and harvesting of crops, then in winter headed back west and north towards his home. So many stories....
I wanna hear more stories 🥺
very fascinating - thank you for sharing! I love hearing these stories and always want to learn more.
We want to hear more!
In Australia, the Gabbi Gabbi, who are the first nation people and traditional custodians of my land, which is now known as the Sunshine Coast, Qld, say of the local ones that there is a more friendly type, but there is another type with whom you have to exercise extreme caution, as they are naturally aggressive, maybe even hateful, and should not be trusted. These ones have a more pointed head. There is an interview on Yowie Hunters channel with a Gabbi Gabbi man who saw one. It is the Wappa Dam episode if anyone wants to check it out. It is very interesting. I could have listened to him for hours.

When I was a kid living in Illinois, close to the Missouri border, we heard about MoMo the Monster (Missouri Monster). About 10 years ago, now living in Missouri, I actually saw one. I wouldn't call it a monster. My encounter was very quick and not dramatic at all. It tried to blend into the shadows & stopped moving as soon as it saw me. This was in a town of about 40K, but the surrounding areas are very rural. It was approx 7 to 7.5 feet tall, and I didn't feel threatened at all, but I thought it viewed my dog as a possible threat. I simply took my dog back into the house so that it could do whatever it needed to do. I never saw it again.
Interesting- if you watch Christmas Valley Bigfoot- they are very deliberate at
closely following the topical land contour of where they travel, staying in the margins.
That’s incredible! I am in Lincoln county now on 7 acres and even around here there’s so much rural land to roam
So what was it?
@@Peekaboo-Kitty probably a Sasquatch
Best to you and be safe. I have not seen one yet, but hope to do so. I am 84 years old, and watching all the time. All be safe k 10/27 k
I had the pleasure of listening to Cliff Barackman in person years ago at a Oregon Bigfoot Conference.
This presentation here was equally as impressive.
I live in Sandy, Oregon and have driven by the "North American Bigfoot Center" for years off of Hwy 26 and have wondered ....who was behind this organization.
Now I know!
Great Presentation!
Bigfoot got Back! LOL😅
He was just at Squatch Fest in Longview in January. Such a nice man.
I'm positive Bigfoot is real. I personally have seen one, in Oregon, over by Hood River. It was in the mid 90s. I did report it. This was before cellphones. Growing up in Oregon and camping in the Blues, Cascades and coastal mountains, I have heard and smelled them as well. You will never forget the experience when you have them. The smell made me quite sick to my stomach and the scream will make the hair on your head stand up. I have been fascinated by them all my life.
Wat did it smell like ?

The passion Cliff has for Bigfoots is beautiful. I'm so fascinated by them as well.
He's a good guy - just wish he hadn't condescended to be part of "Finding Bigfoot." That show was awful.
@@mirrorblue100IDK, it gave him enough money to quit teaching and put more time into Bigfoot research. I can't blame him one bit.
I love this guy's presentation. Much better than MOST "Bigfoot researchers".
Agreed. He is at his best, here.
Hi
Cliff’s presentation has got to be the best research presentation I’ve ever seen.
I recall an interesting program that had Jeff Meldrum on it, perhaps 15-20 years ago, where he discussed the dermal ridges, the 'fingerprints' on a plaster casting. If I recall correctly, he said that the patterns of dermal ridges in humans run in one direction, those of known primates run a different direction and the ones on the bigfoot casting run still a third different direction. That's what sold me on Bigfoot's existence. One might be able to make a fake casting, but highly unlikely that anyone could include the fine details of dermal ridges, and different than humans or other primates. I've had several experiences that fall into the Class B category, like rock-throwing, banging stones together, vocalizations, unusual footprints in sandy areas, etc.
I seen that video as well! But who’s to say he was telling the truth and that actually was a real cast of a foot print? At the end of the day people get paid and make money to be in documentary’s and to make them! At the end of the day unless someone shows up with something like a head of one that person killed or and don’t laugh I’m being serious A turd! Seriously think about it! A big fresh Sasquatch turd! I’ve not heard of anyone come forward with a sample of there scat!
Jeff Meldrum is still having that same discussion 20 years later in 2022 he's handcuffed by scientific paradigms . He may know more about them that's outside of those paradigms but being a man of science he can't say anything publicly or his career is over .
The dermal ridges are a dead giveaway, if they are pronounced enough in a casting. That and of course the metatarsal break. As with apes, they can grasp with their feet because of it. A Squatch is no different. Although not as flexible as an apes, it is still there for that purpose.
Thank you for your post.
@@chancelambert8462 What these Beings are is way beyond dermal ridges that's like saying fingernails define what a human is.
@@NATIVESUNSETS65 learn how to tell between a fake and the real deal. It's very hard to fake dermal ridges. You also have to know the differences. Would you be able to tell the difference? I can. First know what you are dealing with before passing judgement.
The Patterson/Gimlin Film taken here in Northern California is pretty convincing evidence in my opinion. That and the fact that Native American Tribes have had oral accounts dating back 100s of years of large Bipedal Hair Covered Men . I live in Northern California in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. And there are documented sightings by settlers and miners of Bigfoot or Large Hair Covered Bipedal creatures that date back to the gold rush of the mid 1800s here . I've read multiple accounts of sightings by settlers and miners right here where I have lived for 50 years. It's pretty cool.
And people that have seen Sabe/Sasquatch s÷ the footage and say "Yup! That's real". A lot of people prefer to remain ignorant.
@@merriandundas447- MK Davis is a fraud, as are all RUclips Bigfoot channels
If they were an animal, we would have found dead ones by now
I live in Northern California. I used to live in a Cabin in a dead cell phone area. One night around 3 am a friend was there visiting and we were up late drinking. We heard a loud deep voice say something that sounded like words but we didn’t make it out and it was booming loud and I had no neighbors. So I grabbed my pistol and he and I went out and it was pitch black that night. In the front yard was grass and surrounded by a 5 foot rail fence and on the other side was a small garden that was butted up against a small creek and on the other side of the creek was a real steep cliff that deers would climb and my dog would have trouble going after them it was so steep…we took a knee there in the pitch black and listened ….something threw from on too the cliff across the creek and across the garden with had to be something like 20 yards a basketball sized rock that landed one foot to my left and my friend was right next to me on my right….a human couldn’t of thrown that and the rock didn’t roll down the hill. It was thrown.
@@davidhay3417 they are in families. They speak language. They are genius’s in hiding their tracks. They must burry their dead
From a logical standpoint, the “Prove It Exists” argument is always going to win out over the “Prove It Doesn’t Exist” crowd because you logically can’t prove the non-existence of that which does not exist.
Thank you for taking the time to give us this video.
Oh sasquatch is real. That's fact. They are just very intelligent and elusive. I have had experiences and know 3 other people who said they had experiences one of which is my spouse who stumbled upon one's bed and was 3 feet from it face to face... 3 feet. Face to face...

I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, I was raised in southern Oklahoma we had many many miles of woods and Creeks around our house this was basically the playground of me and my younger two brothers, basically my childhood was spent in the woods never saw anything suspicious, fast forward to 2020. I'm living in Dallas-Fort Worth in an RV park right on a lake, I probably shouldn't specify which particular Lake that summer I had started collecting Driftwood as a hobby I would collect it, sand it down, stain it and polyurethane it. I thought it looked really cool and had fun doing it for awhile ..in order to get this Driftwood I had to walk down into the woods behind the RV park where there was millions of pieces of Driftwood laying on the beach. I was down there in the daytime, the first time I encountered anything, I heard something following me every time I would stop it would stop, every time I would go it would go, it kind of freaked me out a little, but not too bad, the second time I was down with my cousin we got separated on the beach and the woods were very thick at the place where I was at and it happened again with the following, stopping, starting. I had lost my life partner she had died at around 40 years old a couple years previous and I was living in a "wild" time of my life and there were a few strange "characters" coming around my place and one had a bunch of copper wire coated in rubber they wanted to burn to go sale. This guy asked me if I knew a place where he could burn the rubber off of the copper without getting caught. At the time I didn't Really Care One Way or Another so I told him yeah, down in the woods behind the RV Park where I get my Driftwood it's real woodsy and should not be a problem if you do it late at night. So at about 3 in the morning I'm down behind the RV park with the strange man with this copper and showed him the spot to start burning, when he lit the fire I did not realize how much smoke it would make, I instantly regretted my decision thinking..oh crap.. we're busted. that was way too much smoke, basically a smoke signal for anyone nearby ..even at night time. The trail down into the woods was an old gas company Trail where the woods were cut back ,that we had walked down to get to the spot, I retreated about 100 ft away from the burning copper and crossed the gas line path to the other side and sat down in some tall bushes to watch the front of the path towards the RV Park, basically looking out for the cops, who I thought would probably arrive at any moment... as I'm sitting in the Tallgrass watching, waiting... something came running down the hill behind me on 2 feet, is what it sounded like, and very aggressively ..and stopped about 20 feet behind me. Needless to say it caught my attention. I crossed back across the gas line trail to the burning copper side of the trail, and sat down in another patch of Tallgrass to continue watching. I look to my left and peering at me out of another patch of Tall Grass about 20 ft away, was what appeared to be a juvenile Sasquatch.... it looked just like the Sasquatch you've all seen on drawings and TV, except smaller and the eyes were same size as the adults should be, in other words the eyes were way too big for the body. Kind of like they must be born with those big eyes and grow into them, I have no idea really that's just what I saw. I went and got the guy burning copper. Luckily he was wrapping up and we got the heck out of there. A week or two later I found a spot to drive down toward the lake instead of walking so I decided to inspect this bulldozed "road". I've highlighted the word Road because it was barely a trail, with roots sticking up everywhere, just basically a very rough Trail cut through the forest with a bulldozer. It led me straight to a dead end in the middle of the forest, about a half a mile of the main road, and so I turned around and got out of there... a few nights later ,I had a wild date, and as we were coming back to my house, I got the bright idea to turn onto this road, take her down to the woods and have a make-out session, we got down to the dead-end we turned around I killed the truck roll down the windows and we were talking, we heard a rustling sound to the right, we both looked over and saw two sets of eyes looking right at us about 20 ft away it freaked us out ...I decided to start the truck and as I did I looked to the left and about 40 ft away in a clearing there was a large Sasquatch, and my instincts told me that it was definitely a male one, was standing straight up on two legs staring at me it must have been a full-moon night or something because I could definitely see him no problem, he could definitely see me, I started the truck and got the hell out of there, since that night I have not been back in that patch of woods or even back down to collect driftwood, I still live at the RV Park, but I stay off the beach and Out of the Woods I started acrylic painting instead.
I also live in Texas, I would love for you to reveal the lake name but I understand lol

Probably the best video on the subject on the internet. As an academic, I particularly appreciate the distinction between evidence and proof, and the general epistemological precautions. To me, what he says at the beginning is testimony enough of the scientificity of M.Barackman's mind process, and I appreciate the way he talks and analyses things. His reasonning is quite convincing.
BTW, as credible as the Gimli Patterson footage can look once you're somewhat convinced, with all the limitations of this kind of evidence (Bob Gymlan on his channel very eloquently formulates why videos will always meet such limitations), my opinion as a scientist is that the best evidence, for people who have never been witnesses themselbles, is the one presented at 38:24. Precise foot morphology analysis by Pr. Krantz and Meldrum (BTW, they look so muc alike... Are they themselves some unknown giant hairy species of old anthropologists ? :D)
Best video on the subject that is still garbage 😢😢
Ok, but it is a fact that ETs and UFOs are real.
Good one!! 😂😉
I have experienced tree shaking, branch breaking, rock throwing, rock clacking, screaming, found a huge poop. Found one track, heard two talking to each other in the woods, ive also had gifting, twice. Now it gets weird. .. ive also experienced telepathy, psychic visions, poking and tapping at home and while camping. Ive also felt a buzzing vibe (goose bumps and skin shivers) when close to them. I think they are doing that psychically, not infrasound. Lastly, i had a close encounter sighting in 2013 while camping in a wild area.
I think today we are so accustomed to having instant access to pictures and scientific agreement and entire schools of information on every animal under the sun that we have totally forgotten than only 100 to 200 years ago the majority of average people had no idea that most of the amazing animals we all know about today existed. Lions, tigers, elephants are all animals that people would pay to see at circuses and zoos because they didn't have any other access to seeing them like digital or even analog photographs. Those animals were as mythological as dragons just a few hundred years ago...... So, this manner of taking things for granted blinds us to the possibility that we already have discovered this creature and are encountering great difficulty in establishing it because of its extraordinary preference for remaining hidden, not from other wild animals, but specifically from us
Here in Australia they are called Yowie or Hairy Men.
Thank you for chiming in, now kindly move along please.
I'm America, we call them Michelle Obamas... 👹
I reckon the Yowie is just an abo wearing something on their head to scare kids into not going into the bush alone. Would make sense that they would come up with it after drinking or sniffing petrol.
no they arent they are called the chungprijara from out there land. get it right
In Alaska, we also call it Hairy Man but I call it Sasquatch because I lived in 🇨🇦 🍁 where some one saw one. They are real BUT NO ONE has the right to KILL ONE. NO ONE,I don't care if you are a scientist. I am going to work for their protection. Humans are murderous
This was an awesome, in depth, scientific explanation of WHY Sasquatch exists. The Native tribes have known about them for 300 years, and no doubt they exist. Great info in this video
Aboriginal people in Australia have known of "bigfoot" (Yowie, dooligah, etc etc) for thousands of years.
Myself two encounters one in a tent. So huge massive in size. My brain could not process. He could have destroyed me, But didn't. Gave him a stringer of fish. The other one Driving very dense part of mountain side. In a tight turn going down hill. To my left and down a large figure was creeping up on some elk. I stopped he had a pole that look like it was honned into a large club. I yelled startled the elk. This thing turned yelled back threw the club towards me. I floored it freaked out again. But as usual no hard evidence. Unbelievable
Hi Cliff!! Thank you to Deschutes Public Library and Cliff for all the time, effort and research you have given us on Bigfoot. I love this subject.. AZ
I wouldn't mind sharing a story with you sometime, I used to live out on the coast, off of Highway 6, "mile marker about 7 and 1/2" but one day I heard an adult and a couple Cubs on my the property I was Leasing, and I am referring to what only could be your Sasquatch! anyhow I could hear them over the hill! It was an area where I would generally dump my scraps, which was food cereal old fruit I had started a fire in the burn barrel to get rid of all the paper and refuge before I winterize the cabin,it took a few hours, the last thing I was doing was dumping the food and when I started the fire I started burning some of the spoiled food that was in pans in the refrigerator,it smell kind of good, like a BBQ ,that was when I decided to throw everything from that point on over the stump, down over the edge, which was a Cliff about 9 to10 ft down this area was very remote! when I started doing all this, it was mid afternoon, you know somewhere between 11:30 and maybe 1:00, I started doing the cleanup to winterize the cabin when I realized the food I had been dumping was still edible so I got rid of it over the edge and all the garbage and paper and stuff like that went to the burn barrel after quite a bit of time had passed the barrel almost burnout that's when I dumped the last of the food over the ledge and started back into the house or the cabin and went through the rest of anything I didn't want to leave there cuz I was going to let the place go back to the landlord,so maybe an hour hour-and-a-half passed from the last time I visited the burn barrel to where I was going through stuff inside the house I was a a single parent! of my little girl who was laying on the floor she was on a blanket sleeping for a couple couple hours, I didn't want to wake her up! I wanted to get the rest of place cleaned up so we could just load up into the car and get off the mountain! With my arm full of paper I was on my way out to the burn barrel before the fire went completely out, that's when I heard the dialogue between what could only be two little cubs, and eventually the adult broke off the chattering conversation or dialogue that was going on with a loud Roar! a continuous Roar! for like 90 seconds, maybe a little longer, longer than any human could do! anyhow it masks the direction that the Cubs took off in, and then it slipped away! The infant's sounded like a couple of dolphins chattering back-and-forth more like dolphins then then any other animal I could describe, the adult had a very long booming voice! that got louder and louder and louder! Almost in octaves, it was a kind of rolling increase in loudness, it stunned me,it had me pretty pretty terrified or scared, definitely terrified to the point of being off balance for a moment, and then total silence and it was gone they were gone! Along with that story and there's quite a bit to it, I have something very interesting I wouldn't mind showing you something! you'd probably only get to see once-in-a-lifetime ! If you're still in the boring area, I don't think I'm more than 5 or 7 miles away from you! I would be interested to meet you somehow or sometime!

Fantastic video Cliff..Thankyou for this extensive presentation. You have done something very good here and this will stand up longer than a lot of other presentations. Can’t wait to visit your museum someday!
Cliff, Thanks for this comprehensive video. Somehow, even with all the skepticism, I have always felt these amazing creatures are real. It has worried me that they would be hunted for sport, trapped and put on display or harmed other ways. Their ability to remain elusive is encouraging and I hope they understand the dangers that humans pose for them.
Easy to be elusive and escape capture when you don't exist.
@@williamlong5228 lol. Ur funny.
Hey man, I don't mean to be a jerk, but these things have been here at least as long as us and they are not in any danger from us trust me. Full grown ones can basically pop your head by clapping their hands together. And they're freaking...big. the one I saw does not need to protected from anything. It was a tank. Big freaking hairy tank man. Be careful out there, do not think they are your friends. Not one native tribe says that. They're all afraid of them 👍
I feel the same way. I'm glad they're elusive they should not be trapped shot or put on display. This is why I don't tell people of the hotspots of the area that I've hunted and fished for 50 years.
There's skepticism because we have no evidence.
Cliff, with drone technology becoming more affordable every year, it would seem to me that "hot spots" could be surveilled much easier. For instance, 3 to a half dozen camera drones could be employed to assist trackers and scientists at a "hot spot". It would be a shame if a sasquatch was killed in order to prove existence of the species. Thank you for your efforts.
I agree but aren’t Drones loud. Very very loud. Unless they developed an ultra quiet prop. I would think its Possible
@@madArt1981 the idea would be to deploy the drones after the encounter has begun. What do you think?
I don’t want one purposefully killed just to prove the existence, we have ample evidence now, better to capture one which I know is not going to be easy. Where is Mutual of Omaha and their wild Kingdom and the magic dart gun when you really need it?
This guys a government shill. Whether he was installed to delegitimize genuine accounts that the govt wants silenced or purposely muddying the waters so we never have the real answers. The only thing for sure is hes not interested in the truth.Notice how hes trying to normalize killikg one? Eff this guy.
As someone else said, drones are very loud and on top of that can only stay up for a short period of time, usually less than an hour up to maybe two if you have a very expensive drone. I had a 8K drone that had night vision and could stay up in the air for about 45 minutes to an hour. Now, it could travel at 45 to 50 mph to get somewhere fast and it could fly about 2 to 3 miles away from my location, with the issue being because you aren’t near it, You can only make guesstimate based off of the live video feed, as to how close anyone object is. Now the good thing about my drone is it has sensors that let you know if something is within 10 to 15 feet. But I think best case scenario, in the fall or winter when there are no leaves on the trees, you may be able to see something… But zooming in is going to give you the same results as you normally see on the films and that is the blurriness. Even at 8K there’s only so far you can go before things start looking blurry due to compression. Best case scenario, you have a Drone with a large camera, say a 1 inch, preferably 2 inch, lens that can catch better low light… you might have a better chance, but due to the fact that these things can only stay up in the air for so long and make so much noise… Not to mention you can only get so close… It’s really not much better than being on the ground.
I have always said that best case scenario is to put up dozens, if not hundreds, of 4K cameras with night vision and leave them stationary recording 24 hours a day, with solar panels providing them power and huge memory cards to keep them going for weeks and months if not more at a time. It’s probably going to be the only way to catch real proof, that can be examined. Because if you locate the cameras in a circular pattern away from each other, maybe each camera 20 feet away from the next, you could catch the movement from camera to camera and catch the movement and the behaviors, not to mention may be the migratory pattern and socialization of the creatures.
Even if we get the clearest, most convincing footage through multiple cameras… I think until there is a body, science is never going to admit one way or the other these things exist. Because without existential proof, no one is going to want to put their degree or reputation on the line for theoretical hypothesis. When they work so hard for so many years to build up that reputation. Which is why you don’t see many try to prove or disprove them. I’m sure, if you put the evidence in front of them they will look over it , but quietly and with extreme skepticism. Believe me, I would say 50 to 75% of them would love for it to be true and for them to of helped with the discovery. But, they wouldn’t put their neck on the line or their career, unless they were 100% convinced.
If anybody has that kind of proof, it’s probably our government. Because through satellite technology, Infrared and infinite tracking capabilities… It would be easy enough for them to not only find one of these things in the wilderness through its own body heat, but track it and know exactly where it essentially lives and camps out. Therefore, being able to locate and know 100% whether or not these things are real. But, just as until recently, they hid the fact that UFOs exist. They are probably doing the same with these creatures, fearing that hunters will destroy them. Especially if there’s not a whole bunch of them left around the world.
So who knows. Truthfully, the kid inside me ever since I was six years old or maybe even younger, wants it to be true and them to be real. But, the scientist in my brain wants what everybody else does, solid proof. So I’m hopeful, but rightfully skeptical. Thinking it’s very possible that Native Americans invented stories of this creature, simply to scare the kids from going in the woods and getting attacked by a bear or something. And also maybe their enemies, thinking that they can also be attacked and killed by them.
We will truly never know until it is 100% proven. Again, I absolutely want them to be real. I think it would be awesome to have something like that still existing and surviving in this world. Then again, if we find out the truth, how much risk does it put their species in? Because you know that psycho hunters would want to pursue, kill and stuff one of these things… to have sitting in their house for bragging purposes. So is it best that we don’t find these things?

Coyotes, bears, wolves, cougars, mountain lions etc. That's before we talk about possible bigfoots...and definitely not gun toting humans.
When hiking near Mt. Bachelor in Oregon in the late 1970s my family & I & other hikers heard a very loud 'scream'. It was hair raising & body vibrating!
We left the area immediately!

Cliff is one of the most knowledgeable cryptozoologist out there on the subject of Sasquatch. Plus the Native American tribes have knowledge of Sasquatch going back hundreds of years. I am also a witness that saw a Sasquatch in 1975 in the San Bernardino mountains in Southern California.
I've seen 1 in Conroe, Texas. It actually ripped my jacket as I was peddling my bike as hard & fast as I can away from it. I wasn't alone when this happened. My cousin Shane was with me. He unlike myself won't talk about what happened. I will & proudly talk about it. He/she was about 8 to 9 feet tall. Reddish brown hair, face similar to a gorilla, dark black beady looking eyes, couldn't see it's feet because I was too scared to get a good look at them. Pulling big huge green limbs from the trees. These limbs were around 9 to 10 feet from the ground of the tree trunks. No human can do that flat footed from the ground. The limbs were as big or bigger than The Rocks upper arms. It really stunk like a mix between a skunk & a wet unkept clean dog.
Thousands of years bud... Not hundreds 😂
Cliff, Thank you for this video. Its fantastic and you explained it all so well. Incredible.
A couple of comments from -- yes a skeptic, with 2 decades of working in primate behavioral research. First, I applaud you for trying to take a balanced view and putting science in the mix. And I found a lot of the presentation interesting, especially the morphology of the feet. Where things fall apart a bit is the same issue I have with true believers of lots of things, in that you repeatedly fall back on a well known logical fallacy called The Appeal to Ignorance, which says, "If you can't provide me with a better explanation, then it follows that my hypothesis is correct." In this interview you said on a couple of occasions, "The skeptics have to explain this." No, they don't. Their inability to explain it does not constitute evidence supporting any theory. In another point you showed the high correlation between black bear territory and Sasquatch reports, saying dismissively that if it's not actual Sasquatches, then the only other possible explanation is that people in those areas lie more often. Again, we're dealing with an Appeal to Ignorance. "I can't think of another explanation, therefore my hypothesis is correct." In fact there is another very simple explanation. Black bears are large shaggy mammals who often stand up on their hind limbs to examine something they're curious about. So, perhaps there are more sasquatch reports from black bear territory because there is a dense population of a species that might be mistaken for a sasquatch, resulting in more cases of mistaken identity. I'm not saying that is the case, just noting that there is at least one possibility that wasn't taken into account, and there could be many others. There are lots of variables. The other issue for me is making the assumption that a controversial bit of video is real and then judging all others against it. If it's real, that may be helpful. If it's not real, you could end up discounting the one real clip that shows up because it doesn't match the preconceived idea from the PG clip. Those objections aside, though, you've given me some interesting stuff to think about. You may dismiss me as a "Scofftic" as I've heard you say many times, but if I didn't have an open mind and an interest, I woudn't have spent all that time watching your presentation.

Aliens and UFOs do exist, that's a fact.
Also, God is real.
"Proof" can only come by a "dead" specimen. ??? Well I guess by that logic, I can't blame them a bit for hiding like their "life depends on it". Why can't PROOF come in the form of a LIVE sasquatch?
People always ask ‘Why have no skeletons or a dead creature been found ?’ I’ve been walking in remote areas of countryside for over 40 years. An area infested by wild deer and yet I’ve never once found a corpse or skeleton. The bodies of wild animals are very seldom discovered. No corpse does not mean the creatures do not exist.
I've noticed that too. Animals must hide themselves when they die.
I hunted the Brooks Range for 30 years, and seen MANY remains of animals. Usually only bones & fur.
If there were a breeding population of large primates, evidence would have been discovered by now.
@@billwilson3665 and get consumed by other wildlife, their bones spread out and so they don't get noticed. Or perhaps the Sasquatch hide or bury their dead?
The forest consumes expired animals very quickly….
My ex hunting buddy found a bear skull in Alaska a few years back and he wasn't even looking for it. He still has it at home.
If you have ever witnessed a trained soldier wearing gillymesh in appropriately matching terrain, then you know how astoundingly remarkable it is how we are able to become invisible right in front of your eyes while you're paying attention.
Now, imagine you are born wearing the gillymesh, adapted to the area over time, have a higher level of sentience, so you are able to discern decide learn and choose in an area you are intimately familiar with, as opposed to other animals simple flight or fight responses. Your fast, prefer dusk Dawn or darkness, among some of the worst terrain for humans to traverse.
Imagine it could be pretty difficult to get the nature channel style quality of footage that people are looking forward to think that we ought to have because they feel like we have everything cuz of technology nowadays.
Excellent presentation Cliff. Thank you and keep up the search.
I have known them since I was a young boy. Over 30 years of countless experiences. If any of you truly get the chance to connect with them. I mean connect with your heart. The energy of your heart. The heart of your energy. I would highly recommend it. They can help you in more ways then you may imagine. Take this how you will. Peace from BC Canada.
But you never once connected them with the heart of your camera though?
I know personally that Cliff is the real deal. He is always investigating around OR/WA as he is able. He sometimes is hard to catch at the NABC because he is in the field. When he is not in the field he is at the NABC or doing a conference. Cliff is always open minded to new information and can disregard the old. To those of us that have had personal experiences, they are real. I have had 4 visual experiences so far and hope for many more .I was a non-believer until my own face-to-face experience. That's how a cryptozoologist is born.
I know this species exists, I feel that the reason the authorities won't admit that this species exists is, the Forestry industry! When Sasquatch is proven to exist, the public will demand that they be protected and their habitat must be protected. That would probably mean a massive loss $$ from potential forestry operations, then there is the outdoor recreation angle, alot of people would no longer go into the forests, or hiking/biking, camping, remote fishing, because it will frighten alot of people away, whether or not these creatures are dangerous. That's why I think their existence has be withheld, what do you think!? 🍻🇨🇦

It's all fact, I know it sucks, but it's happening, and Sasquatch is just one small thing they are trying to keep covered up! If you are interested in knowing why, I will tell you. Lol but I'm definitely not nuts, at least that's what my Dr says! Lol just watch the documentary, 2 hrs! I'm not sure the exact name of the documentary, but if you google Todd Standing you will find it, Discovering Sasquatch or something like that, along those lines. 🤷🍻🇨🇦
You know personally? What do you know? That he has no evidence... like none at all, not a single credible bit of evidence, wow you are easy to manipulate
@@pkune5158 well like it or don't. I have seen them more than a dozen times and could identity four separate individuals. I have lived in the woods my entire life and I could show you where they sleep. Not going to. I could care less about your opinions 😉 the only thing keeping them alive is disbelief.
Excellent presentation Cliff. 👏
Had to laugh when you said 'Bigfoot got back'. I've totally thought that before. 😂
The only good thing to come out of finding bigfoot is Cliff ! This man knows his stuff and is very likeable.
Vermont is very active. I remember following foot prints up in the woods. As soon as we hit the top of mountain where pine trees were close together. All of a sudden outnof nowhere we heard a grunting and sounded like a elephant coming thru the trees. I don't think I ever ran so fast in my life like I did that day. In fact there were two different sizes foot prints that crossed the highway per say to the river back up the mountain in the woods and you could tell whatever it was wad allowing the next to rest on the easy up the hill there were four spots patted out like a bear makes
The gold standard today for the existence of Bigfoot is the Patterson Gimlin film. Most people however have glazed over eyes and believe that "Patty" is a guy wearing a monkey suit that's never been found or duplicated since 1967.
And you can't fake muscles.
Suit was found. The guy who wore it has shown it. He also perfectly matched the walk as proof and fit everything from size in the shot to the gate of the walk to the turn of the head and movement of the arms. The only difference between the two videos was he was wearing the suit in one and not in the other.
@@mattperkins261 bullshit! No suit has been found. The liar you're speaking of is Bob Heironimus. Go look at the suit he said he wore. Then watch the Patterson Gimlin footage. If you still feel that way you better get your eyes checked as well as your brain.
Cliff Barackman is very enthusiastic and provides very compelling evidence and explanations - fantastic job Cliff!
When I first saw that photo of the Sasquatch under the apple tree, I couldn’t even tell what I was looking at but now that I’ve spent time interested in Sasquatch, I can absolutely see it. That is a really good photograph. I mean, that is an absolutely real animal.
Those white patches is just a moonlight and the porch light hitting on his fur
Should have been a video camera.
This is such an awesome video presentation.. thank you to Deschutes Public Library for doing this. Cliff is a great guy, met and spoken to him on several occasions at bigfoot conferences- top notch researcher. I am a hunter, but Bigfoot should NOT be harvested, not even to get concrete evidence. I say that as an avid bigfoot researcher myself. I’d love to have a sighting. But leave bigfoot alone… they are either an incredibly endangered creature or some sort of native “human being”/relative of us Homo Sapiens. Or some sort of native spiritual being that can/does take both physical and ethereal form. Either way, it/they/the bigfoot should be left alone!!! Thank you again for this awesome video- subscribed and will watch other videos on this Channel!
All we need is one though so just kill one
I'm sure there's at least one or two bad ones that can be killed. Some people have had some pretty crazy encounters with some super aggressive Bigfoot. One of those would be ok to shoot i think.
@@mattjack3983 I agree. I myself would not hesitate to shoot one if I absolutely had to, such as if my life/family’s life/livestock or other property were being threatened by one.. Good point. Maybe someone can harvest one of these creatures in a self-defense manner one day.
@@carlosgutierrezjimenez200 exactly what I was thinking..in a self defense manner. Man that would be something to wake up and see on the morning news! I agree tho that hunting them like deer isn't should be a no-go. For alot of reasons.
@mattjack3983 Seriously, it's already been done, and the Gov't has all the proof it needs.
I’m a believer, but I scratch my head at why we can’t get one on a trail camera. Hunters use those all over the country, so you would think someone would get one on a camera.
Very good point !
Finding bigfoot is a fine production with clear pics of sasquatch! Great job guy
You are joking right? Finding Bigfoot tv show is RUBBISH!
This is better than any documentary that normally insults your intelligence. This is very well done and very compelling.
I love your interview! Cliffs museum is an amazing place to visit. I'm a Bigfooter in John Day Oregon. I definitely know Sasquatch's aka Sa'be (Ojibway) are indeed real. Thank you for sharing this with us!
How do you know for sure?
@@brannanburdette2558I've seen four and have had many experiences over the years.
Back on the meds, Johnny boy, back on the meds.
@@situated4 LOL 🤣, if only you could actually research the subject.
Wow, so after 4 sightings and multiple experiences, you must have evidence then? I mean if it was me I’d be prepared to get video after the first sighting and then the other 3 sightings would be documented. If anything, I’d get the news crew and tracking dogs to find it and prove to the world
It’s only a matter of time before science catches up to what most of us already know. These creatures are as real as a wolf or a bear. I think they’ve lived in this country longer than most of the first nations. I’m guessing these things have been here for close to 45,000 years.
I also agree that the sasquatch is a species that has not been "discovered" yet. Cliff did a great presentation here.
Agree, good comment, except 45,000 years is a futile projection…
From before the true Ice Age? Yeah, I could buy that.
Humans have been in the Americas longer than that
I'm a lifelong experiencer of Sasquatch including an up close face to face with a young one. I sent a report to BFRO recently. I have a footprint on my inside of the garage wall. I have a hypothesis of my own that ties them to God's of old, the elongated skulls, and why the n Sa has them listed as an alien species . I also have now created a research group for my state, that had none til mine. I'd love to have a conversation about all of this with you. Thank you for your work. Great presentation. Blessings
These creatures are everywhere, seriously. Their ability to remain largely unseen by most people is telling of their skill set living at one with the natural world.
@@Mjg503 yes exactly! the one I saw up close blended with the tree trunk so well I literally did Not see it til it was 2 feet from my face. Walked right up on it! Thankfully it didn't want to harm me cause it could've def done serious damage if it did. I think they get a bad rap, if you are a responsible observer of nature, you're good, if you disrespect nature, litter & leave the fire burning after going in your tent etc they get mad. That's their house, their habitat you are putting in danger, so I'd be mad too if it were me ...
@@BeaconNews777 that's an amazing experience. I've seen two from a distance, two separate occasions. But I'm sure they've been within ten feet of me and I never had a clue.
@@Mjg503 very likely...they are very good at camouflaging
Where is the video or photo? Can we see it.
Thankyou for this presentation and for your dedication 👏
There are constant videos of Sasquatch being filmed. It's beyond me that people think these videos are fake. There are countless videos of paranormal activities happening and people believe they're fake as well. Just because you haven't seen it yourself doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I don't understand why people argue whether they are real or not ?
Dr Melba Ketchum And David Paulides proved this through DNA RESEARCH.
The Sasquatch Genome Project.

It's because alot of, you could probably even say the majority of people are just too ignorant and stupid!! Most people are sheep these days, majority of people are just not capable of independent thought!! It's scary, it's really scary! Well the government and media say they don't exist so it must be true, that's the mentality of too many people!!
Because they are fake
The problem I hae is, with all yhe hi def, hi tech cameras that exist. why are the videos, for the most part. blurry snd out of focus? I can take photos with my cell phone and you can count thr petals on a daisy, but nearly every photo or video of a saquatch looks like they were taken witj s sack over thr lens, or jumpy like they took them diring an earthquake...
@@pkune5158 Did you actually watch this video?
I had a white rock that had a huge foot print imprinted into it. I have no idea how the foot print appeared onto the surface of the rock but my father loaned it to a bigfoot researcher named Rick Tullos. He was supposed to show it to another researcher and we never received it back. He was part of matt moneymaker group. If I could track him down or track the rock I would love for you to examine it. It was a perfect impression. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the subject to bigfoot. You have a tremendous amount of fans from Mississippi!!
Did your father find the rock in Mississippi? I’m a Mississippian as well.
What a fuckin prick to take your rock and never get it back. And the he becomes famous for it down the road
@@daniboone4181 lmfao! I couldn’t have wrote it better.....

Hey Rick Tullos? Better give the stone with the footprint back, the word is getting around about you!
Cliff Barackman's presentation was clear, reasonable and educational. Thank you.
Wonderful presentation! Well done, Mr. Barackman, and more power to you! --N

Yea so good it freaks me the f out, I hunt all over in Washington State and I have had CRAZY things happen! Ive been zapped before and I instantly took off with my bike with the bow on my back
One of the very best videos ever, concentrating on pure evidence & none of the nonsense claims like aliens, paranormal shape-shifters, etc. If I was skeptical before I am far, far less so today.
We know much less than the GOVT knows, They have known, seen, Treated, and Relocated SASQUATCH all throughout History. Remember the MT ST Helens Eruption, The Creatures were so badly burned and hurt, That they went looking for Help. And they Found the U S Army, And the army did what they could, after treatment, The army were led to caves were a number of them were hurt, after treatment they were relocated to another part of Washington ST. and released. IT also happens during Severe Forest fires, with fire fighters, and Medics. What we all are doing Now ,is trying to Identify where they came from and how long ago, they were here.
@Bacon Press Mister Ha Ha, Read this closely, The GOVT Knows more about Bigfoot Than anybody on Earth. They have seen, studied, and Treated them --and Obviously Taken all Samples of every Variety there is to take. They Know EVERYTHING. They know where and how and how long they have Probably been here and where they Actually come from. And all of us CITIZENS do not. We know everything about them except How long and Where they came from. The Caloric Bullshit you Drummed up was for What ? The other element we Don't know is the Portal Question. Why a Humanoid Animal would have that Capacity above all others Points to the Alien Aspect. ????????

Without a doubt the only other guy I have seen (videos, etc.) in your caliber of knowledge base has been Jeff Meldrum (though there are a couple of other published gentlemen in this field as well that are excellent too).👍
Being born and raised in Portland, I do travel on outdoor trips to my home state from time to time from my home now here down in California. I will most diffenitly come by your "Bigfoot Center" if & when I ever get into (pardon the pun) "your neck of the woods".😄 Again, outstanding presentation in logic by hard to ignore evidence. Very refreshing to find "jewels of knowledge among the trash".
Best to You,

Cliff is AWESOME!!
Great presentation Cliff ! I have seen 2 Sasquatches at night time, while I was lying on my cot inside, walk by my tent 🏕 in Colorado in August 2018. True story !!
Maybe it was just another human wandering about. Or perhaps a bear - which as you know, are quite plentiful in Colorado. At night our eyes can play tricks on us and fill in details that aren't really there.

You know, after all, why he doesn't set it up.!?? This winter we went and found traces in the snow of such a large and wide range between the feet, he posted a video about it. Best regards from Canada .👌🍷💕✌
Very much appreciate the Library and Cliff for the presentation and upload here.
PROS: Informative; educating; wider variety of evidence than in usual "Bigfoot" videos; fairly balanced and critical thinking shown, i.e. "Evidence" vs "Proof". Had never seen other evidence like lying down or hand or "Baby Got Back" prints. LoL. Seriously, though, appreciate the breadth of information communicated including historical testimonials and artistic renderings.
Cons: Speaking as if the Gimlin video IS obviously a Bigfoot and stressing it has "not been disproven"; personal preference for the desire for Cliff to have spoken a bit more about weeding through the mess and hoaxes that WERE disproven. Also, who's to say that in the field of "Science" there isn't strong bias, blindspots, and especially corruption through internal "political" pressure for grants, status, job security? Didn't we learn that through the mess of the pandemic? Any field where humans are involved can be corrupted. That goes for Science...Religion...Politics...Art...Education, etc.
From one eccentric to another eccentric: Yes, I want to believe and don't find it embarrassing to admit to the notion that there are Bigfoot/Sasquatch in the world. But, over many years of feeding my Confirmation Bias, isn't it all the better to serve Truth and Critical Thinking while being intellectually as honest as possible. It can take some of the fun away from "believing", but it is tiring AND embarrassing to believe in the latest evidence, not humbly employ fundamental critical thinking and analysis, and find it later to be a Hoax.
Plus, Cliff, isn't the Burden of Proof on YOU as to the Patterson/Gimlin video footage. The Claim: It is a Bigfoot, NOT a human. Prove it! And that's impossible since we don't have the creature to analyze and test. And we never did. To say "it has not been disproven" is THE disappointing aspect of this video. It damages your credibility. I'll put it this way: I sincerely believe in God and "believe" as "FACT" that there is a variety of evidence in Science / Nature / Conscience / "Sightings" / Miracle-Stories, but it is entirely fair to be challenged with, "You cannot prove it!" When individuals have proclaimed that to me, that the Burden is on the one making the claim, I answer with, "Of course." Not defensively, not trying verbal martial arts to deflect it back on to the person upon whom I am trying to persuade to agree with me. Conversely, when anyone has proclaimed, "There is no God!", I shoot back, "And how do you know that?" Same with people who laugh off any suggestion there might be a Bigfoot after all. And how do they know that?
And with all due respect, everyone's got to survive and pay bills and make $$$; who's to say how many grifters have made their living off of bending the truth in Bigfootland. If you have nothing to hide, then you won't take offense at what I'm saying. Those who speak Truth don't. As one eccentric to another, WE have to be careful. Wishful Thinking is an ever present seduction to any reasonable mind.
Thank you again for the knowledge and education you shared in this video. Here's hoping and praying that a Bigfoot or three will be found with proof, and to your point without having to actually kill one.
P.S. - I'll continue to do my part to cheer on good research, open-minded thinking, solid skepticism. EX: When I reasoned that one video on a YT Bigfoot channel was so blurry and that it could easily have been a big and strong man at a distance, some people flipped out angry at me. Aaaannnnnnd that's what I will push back against. By merely saying it wasn't "conclusive", some folks are enemies to Critical Thinking as well as Credibility. That's on them.
The Patterson Gimlen film has not been proven as a hoax because it is real. You should do some research on the film because it has been studied extensively. Recently with better scientific instrumentation. So before you say it can’t be proven do a little research. If I found this out I’m sure anyone could. Love and light to you and yours. Thank you.
@@patriciabesseck2986 - I've done research, so don't assume so swiftly while professing "love".
"The Patterson Gimlen film has not been proven as a hoax because it is real."
If you understand discussion / formal argument and debate, the Burden of Proof is upon the individual positing their "truth" and proving it. Boldly proclaiming "it is real" is weak and circular and non-persuasive, as much as you think it proves your point. It doesn't. Think again, extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. The PG video is non-conclusive, and IMHO, unimpressive. It is entertaining, for sure. Perhaps you are more bothered by strong sentiment against something you hold to be "real", which would suggest your footing is on shaky ground.
Think of it this way: I upload my own video of Bigfoot to YT and simply state, "Look what I saw! A sasquatch near my home." When interviewed I don't deny it, stand firm, and from what you can see it looks impressive and like an actual bigfoot. I go to my grave never denying it. You believe it is "proof" of a bigfoot. Why? Looks "real"...I didn't say it was a hoax. Even scientific / video lab experts couldn't say with absolute certainty it IS or IS NOT a bigfoot, although they can give a subjective opinion that they believe it "is" or "could be". So, that's good enough for you. YET...maybe I did hoax the public. It could be very gratifying to go to my grave having conned so many gullible people, and it gave me some publicity and fun along the way. As long as persons like yourself insist on my video being "proof" or "real", then no harm, no foul, right?
"If I found this out I'm sure anyone could." You either lack self-awareness in how condescending you are coming off as OR lack the courage to weather critical thinking and challenges in the forum of public discourse. Address points of contention with your own questions and points regarding evidence, rather than merely dismissing with faux love thrown in. The latter is non-productive and dishonest. Try again.
"Bigfoot Hunters" is a good example of how people of divergent opinions can respectfully challenge each other in the Search for Truth and Bigfoot while investigating evidence through their respective mental grids. From the episodes I've viewed they worked well together, and a mere insistence that "Bigfoot is real" when evidence is actually dis-proven or vague and inconclusive doesn't cut the muster. It does make for selling the show, though.
@Lynx Actual - You are very welcome. Thank you for the compliment. Your opinion and points have merit and must be included in the greater discussion. There are tales / traditions / accounts from more credible persons in history, which persuade me to be open-minded overall while embracing what sounds like the spirit of skepticism you embody. It's a challenging balance to strike, "soft science" coupled with the search for hard evidence. We completely agree: The "It's real, I said so" pressure to just agree without any inquiry, any critical and scientific analysis, without cross-examination has got to go!

Ya Cliffy has always been a solid player in the bush.
Here's my experience for what it's worth. My husband and I liked to camp around mt. Ranier. I was up one morning about 3, dont remember why. All of a sudden I heard a sound that was like a whole stadium full of people yelling. It was not an elk, Ive heard elk bellow and holler before and it was nothing like that. It was exactly what about 1000 humans hollering at the same time feels lke. I woke D. Up and asked him 'which battalion is out here doing maneuvers?( He was assigned to Ft. Lewis at the time). He said that none to his knowledge. Then I thought hell its too late in the year for BS Jamboree. It was on the Art Bell show years later I heard a recording and let me tell you-it was so similar it might have been recorded right there. Now Ive heard a lot of people say its impossible...but If bear can live up there than why not a bigfoot? Maybe they are few in number and solitary. I have seen some pretty convincing evidence. I would say at the end of the day there is a LOT about this world we still dont know.
@@kathymcintosh4308 Kathy, I don't think he's talking about who he emotionally "liked". I agree, Cliff seems to have the most research and dedication under his belt. It is quite clear when he speaks.. everything is on the tip of his tongue.
The fact that they have been able to avoid human contact is proof they are highly intelligent.
Thank you for this presentation. I remain a skeptic until we get a bit more evidence, but am open to the idea. Until then, keep up your good work!
You know, there is a video from the mid-late 70's that I have saved somewhere (I think if you look on RUclips for dismembered baby Bigfoot found in First Nations BC area washed down a creek or something like that... it's basically the pelvis and most of the lower body found by a Native couples' dog in a flooded creek.... they called the Canadian Fish and Wildlife bureaucracy and they came out and collected it and it vanished afterwards. They took some funky videos of it. It doesn't look to me like a bear or a deer or a baby moose whatsoever. Just like a hairy small leg and hip, mostly skeletal in parts. I was trying to find it to give you the link but "they" have monkeyed around with the YT/Google/alphabet search engines so much lately that it seems to be gone. But I DID see it on YT. It's probably here still.
When the platypus was found, people thought it was different animals sewn together. I think it was after several bodies were collected that it was finally officially a real animal. Pandas and gorillas were considered ghosts of the firest and took a couple or several years to finally be recorded as actual animals.
is there a point to your babbling?
@@tzackaria7 can u seriously not figure out the point that the person writing this comment is making?
@@tzackaria7 what about yours?
...but unlike the bigfoot, they actually had a platypus/panda/gorilla they could examine......
What a cool name you have. 👍
I've seen a Bigfoot on the Bank of the Miss. River that looked just like Patty so I know they Exist. Also, when i was a boy about 10 back in 1957 deer hunting with my great uncle in the Cache River Bottoms near Cotton Plant, Ar., we came upon an area in the woods that looked like a small tornado had torn up--about 40 yrds. long and 10 ft. wide, trees pulled up by the roots and many just Twisted into--my great uncle who had seen these creatures many times as he literally lived in the woods-said to me- looked like a Booger had a Hissy Fit. He had always warned me about these creatures, telling me to never go out in woods by myself because those Boogers would Kidnap children thus I always had those Boogers in back of my mine. Boogie Man was the old saying years ago...
Booger man means black guy?
My mom was from Arkansas. She told me at 4 that the rifle was for the boogie man. Later I learned that when she was a girl people talked about one being around. I live in Colorado now. I’ve been close to one in My road. ( I live in the foothills southwest of Denver on a private dirt road). Yelling like someone was being killed. I scared it off. Shoulda grabbed my camera or phone but it was 4:30 am and it woke me up and I wasn’t ready for it. It vibrated my chest. It was spooky. I could make it out but only a silhouette. I measured the power pole it was buy ant it was over 8’ tall. It moved like it was on ice. No sound. So fast. I couldn’t believe it. I went out with a flashlight and got the feeling to get back inside.
@@oldironsides4107 Never in my almost 63 years as a resident of Georgia have I ever heard that booger man means black guy. That's just wrong. I wasn't raised that way and my kids were not. A black adult was sir or ma'am. A black kid or peer was treated like every other kid we knew. Yeah we're piney wood rooters but we were all in it together.
Y'alls Library is so awesome for doing these Bigfoot videos, and this video is really great for its knowledgeable interviewee who is clearly in it for more than just a popular TV show. I've watched this video several times.
The North American Bigfoot Center is being added to my list of places to visit. I really enjoyed the information shared by Cliff, it was all very interesting. Thanks for the video.
I have visited that museum, in Georgia, they have recording u can listen to, awesome place.
Pretty cool video.
I’ve been into the Sasquatch stories ever since I had an experience with them one weekend while hunting in the Chattahoochee National forest in north Ga.
Long story short….I hear whooping noises about 1/4 mile away from me while in my tree stand about 15 min before first possible light when everything was dead silent in the woods.
My buddy was in that location.
Right at first light my buddy texted me to get my ads over to his location NOW!
I figured he shot a deer with his crossbow and needed my help finding it.
When I came over the crest of the game trail he was hunting next to he started yelling and waving his arms to come here.
I was pissed because we have a rule to be dead silent while hunting and not attract attention to ourselves.
I immediately put my finger to my lips like shush ……and he said “No fuck that….did you hear them yelling and whooping.?”
I was like “Yeah I heard something”
And as Ingot closer to him he said “They surrounded me, at least three of them!”
I said “What surrounded you?”
he pointed to the ground and said “Look!!”
There were footprints all over.
Now here’s what’s weird.
The prints were only in a semi circle pattern in one spot.
The prints were about 18” long.
The big toe was the size of a large serving spoon.
The little ties looked like one pad possibly from matted hair between them.
The impressions were deep like 4-6” deep in the leaves and dirt.
The ball of the foot was pronounced but the body of the foot seemed narrow like a human foot, not wide like most Bigfoot prints that are popularly on the internet.
Then the heel seemed normal human like and matched the narrow body of the foot.
It was still a giant footprint and they seemed to disappear after it made a large semi circle on the ground.
We scoured the area and I found more of these semi circle print patterns in other areas on the knoll he was hunting on.
I also found a large log moved and was straddled by 16”
Long prints very much wider than a human straddle and the soft dirt under the log had scratch marks in it like something was foraging for grubs.
I also found some very deep set footprints at the bottom of the knoll where it overlooked game trails at he bottom of this steep hill.
These prints were next to a giant white pine tree at it appeared that this creature was using the tree as cover while overlooking the valley trails below and it rested most of its weight on its right led as hugged the tree to look around it at the trails below.
This print was sunken about 9”
Into the soft leaf covered soil.
My buddy was really freaked out but after seeing the prints I felt the most euphoric feeling and felt like the air was charged with something I couldn’t explain.
Not sure if it was my brains reaction to this but I was totally calm unlike my buddy who was freaked out.
He said they were about 70
Yards apart from him and wet knocking in trees and whooping in a triangular pattern from one another.
He said they got closer and started throwing large rocks at his tree.
I found a couple rocks near the base of his tree with cash marks in the tree well under his stand.
It appeared they only wanted to scare him which they obliviously did.
He was so freaked out and seemed like he was never happier to see me and felt relieved that I showed up.
I’ve never seen him like this.
He was like a child extremely frightened and I’ve never seen him scared in the woods and we’ve hunted coyotes in the dark numerous times and have many encounters with bears and other animals in the dark and Ice never seen him this freaked out.
We went there again a few times and I had a smilies experience but it was only a bunch of thrashing of deadfall as I began my ascent up my climber in the dark.
Whatever it was was powerful and was snapping large dead tree limbs like toothpicks.
I kept going up my climber and told myself if this thing wants me dead there’s not a darn thing I can do to stop it although I had my pistol on my hip and that thought came to mind but by the sound of the power this thing was emitting and the sheer speed and strength at which it snapped limbs Down knew I’d be toast regardless.
Once up the the top of my climb the noise had stopped and I looked down with my headlight and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Nothing ran off and nothing was to be seen.
It was like whatever it was vanished into thin air.
I didn’t really see much deadfall snapped up but it sounded like there should have been branches and logs all strewn everywhere.
That was really strange to me.
I blew it off as something I just couldn’t explain and continued about my wait for first light.
I never saw a deer that day.
I e been back to that are several times for the next 20 years and haven’t had another encounter nor have I seen tracks but I have talked to a Native American guy in his early 20 who told me he saw tracks in a semi circle Pattern in the Cohutta wilderness.
This was before I told him about the semi circle patterns I saw.
Made me feel like I wasn’t crazy.
Amazing!
Very cool. If they don’t harm us we shouldn’t harm them…
aaah, I guess , no one had a camera, or thought about revisiting this tree to at least photograph the rocks and the mark? Nice story though.
What was all that "long story short" talk in the beginning of your comment.
@@infantrygrunt44
Yeah no kidding.
Cliff, hey dude. Everything you have presented here is one hundred percent scientific. My question is; who are the "Sciences" that are the skeptics? By definition, this makes you a scientist and they are tire kicker. Amazing presentation, from Shaftsbury, Vt., Humble home of big hairy dudes that live in the forest.
Nothing here is proof.Interesting evidence only.
🤣🤣 take a picture of 1 next time then
Not gonna lie being a Sasquatch sounds fun as heck. Steal apples, lay in the mud, big as hecc, master ninja…list just goes on
What if the reason we cannot find Bigfoot is he wears a human suit a lot? Walks right past us.
The photos aren't bad. I think Bigfoot is just naturally blurry.
😂
They often phase in and out of our dimension, and look blurry while doing so. Honest.
Fact, when I was 15 years old my brother being 20 was driving on a road close to a creek that feeds the river, we come around a curve in the road and with him driving his attention was on the narrow road, I was looking towards the creek when I spotted something and said stop, look WTF is that, we thought it was a bear, then this creature apparently was squatted, then when it spotted us the creature stood up and started running straight towards the road at us, it covered that 80 yards so quick , the closer it got the fear of what we're seeing had set in, we were like frozen, couldn't move, with every hair standing up on us and a 44 magnum in the glove box of the truck, this creature turns slightly away then turns again and crossed the road 20 feet in front of us, it looks right at us and
We could clearly see everything about it, the face had a remarkable resemblance to a gorilla but also kinda human like, looking at his or her size was mesmerizing , shocked and in disbelief at what has happened we new this wasn't a creature anymore, it's the real deal right in front of us, I'm so glad we had the privilege to witness this, we never said anything to anyone for decades except between us, the thought of being ridiculed stopped us from talking about it. I'M now 60 and don't give a damn what people say or think about it, I tell the story now no matter what they say,we know it was a sasquatch or bigfoot, so just because people don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist, seeing is believing and me and him have to believe.
@@stevenjones4054 that k you for sharing. Their hair is also hollow, which allows it to refract light, serving as a kind of natural camouflage
In reports you can find all over RUclips there is a high association between seeing Sasquatches and being in or near large patches of wild berries.
I live in Oklahoma the last property on a dead end. My property backs up to 1000 acres. They had lived behind me At times. I used to hike back there for years. The first thing that got me was standing at my truck door to go to work at 4 am when I heard the loudest yell from down in the valley. It was a loud deep long lasting yell. My dog was standing with me. After it stopped I asked my dog , what was that. I then started noticing tree structures in the woods. I found footprints around my house, large and small. I have heard loud growls. They tree knocked back to them and sometimes we knocked back and forth. I have hear human like talking twice. I walked to the fence and yelled who are you. I thought they were people. I think they have moved on. They do migrate but they are gone now.
Love it, just met Cliff. Very nice, willing to talk with anyone walking in. Had a small conversation about sightings in Flagstaff,AZ. I would agree with the black bear analogy.. I can’t really think of any other primates that are nocturnal though, I guess that would be unique.
I believe they exist leave em alone
Kill em all! Let God sort em out.
i experienced a bigfoot sighting. and there was another witness as well. we were driving and did not have a camera. we weren't even thinking about seeing anything!! it was around 2 a.m., a very dark and stormy night, very windy too.
dec. 24th, 2019. we were driving up highway 18, outside waterman canyon, heading up the mountain toward big bear city.
anyway, there are two lanes on that highway. we were in the outside slow lane. i was in the front passenger seat, next to the driver, so being in the front, we saw this bigfoot standing in the middle of the fast lane. my daughter was sitting in the back seat, so she didn't see, but definitely heard our reactions!! i asked, did you see that? and wanted a description so i could compare notes and verify that we really did see a bigfoot. anyway, he described, to a tee, exactly what i saw. so that's good enough for me.
he was about 8-feet tall. and huge, muscles!!! long hair, looked exactly like our idea of a bigfoot. the driver kept saying, he could rip the top off our car! we were in a s.u.v. so that's typically a taller vehicle than, say, a sedan or whatever. this bigfoot did have a human face, or it looked like a human face, but surrounded by long wisps of hair. the rest of the body was giant, covered with long hair. very tall. and very strong.
anyway, there was another car, in the fast lane, about 4 or 5 cars behind us. and i kept thinking, they're going to hit it! afterall, this bigfoot was standing right in the middle of the fast lane. but the car drove straight through, like there wasn't anything there. so later on, a lady told me that they do jump, and very high and very quickly, which i didn't realize. but that would make sense as to how it disappeared so fast. or it was a specter? i don't know. all i can tell you is that we experienced a sighting, there were two witnesses, and we did not get a photo. we drove past it, very quickly, while we weren't thinking about any sightings or anything, we were tired, it was a long day, and we didn't get pictures. we just raced right past it. but, we definitely saw a bigfoot!
that's my story, and i'm stickin' to it.
I'd watched a video where the Patterson-Gimlin video was scientifically analyzed, and they'd enhanced the face, and it showed articulation of the lower jaw as it opened and closed.
The one thing that caught my eye in the film was you could see the gluteal muscle contract and flex during walking, because it was so large. A man in a gorilla or any other sort of getup, wouldn't even be considered, especially in the 60s to fake or have the ability to. It would have to be actual muscle and sinue to move in that fashion
Cliff I figure you'll always do the right thing and you what you love😊
I’m sure they exist, but it would get scary if the world knew about them. They should be protected. So if the world is blind, ok. For me, I’d live to see pictures and see them living in the way they do. But the harshest thing is, others will want to take them and dissect them and see other things. I think this is a life form that deserves some protection and to be left alone. I contradict myself. But hey, would love to see these creatures
Why do you think the government hid them from us. They came out and said they're real.
Seems just like us,, there are good and bad....
You speak of then as if they were some sort of cuddly teddy bears. When you see them tearing a deer limb from limb you will get a harsh lesson about the real world. 👊
The world would be a different place. Imagine sharing with another humanoid species? Not known since the ice age and the neanderthal.
they taste like chicken
I think it's safe to say that they are far removed from the Hominidae family and took a similarly convergant path to Humans, the reports overwhelmingly sugest that they are more likes us than any other living species.
I swear this is a clip from a movie. If it's not it should be. His glib sarcasm is frickin' hilarious! Love it! ❤️
Thank you library for having an open mind.
This is an excellent presentation on the corporeal existence of the Sasquatch people. They are my neighbors at my isolated cabin. We have a friendship formed by the exchange of non-food gifts. Many native cultures (most? all?) identify them as spirit people, and that has been my experience, having been gifted with stick structures in the back yard and on the front sidewalk of my home in a dense residential neighborhood of a big city, as well as everywhere around my cabin. Our science knows almost nothing about consciousness, which matter exists in the service of. Note: Those large heads have large brains, and the sixth sense is their first sense, and the ways that they can use it leave us to brand them paranormal and scratch our little heads.
Wrong! The 4th sense in their first sense.
Wow that’s interesting that you’ve exchanged gifts . I’ve had two experience’s with Sasquatch. Each time it felt other worldly and they had come and gone as if there was some thing that allowed they to slip in and out of this reality.
🤣🤣 deluded
Godzilla is real and he don't run and hide, the last time I saw him he was heading to the U.S.Better prepare yourself for the real thing.
@@paulthomas8989 that would explain the enigma.
Top notch coverage and evidence. Really enjoyed it, thanks!
Yes Bigfoot does exist, I saw one one beautiful sunny morning while riding as a passenger in a friend's car going from her house located about 20 some miles out from Hiouchi in Del Norte County California on our way to Crescent City. As we were traveling Gina exclaimed "look over there, see it?"... I looked to my right and saw a short ways off down a bit from the road a huge hairy two legged upright creature walking along the dry creekbed... Gina told me they come around her place quite often. It must've been a male in my opinion, I only saw it's right side as it was moving opposite direction we were going. This was in 1979. And in 1999 while harvesting White Cedar boughs near the Oregon Caves National Monument in the Cave Junction area of Josephine County Oregon I spotted a smaller juvenile similar creature alongside my car peering into the Driver's side window as I was approaching but it quickly darted off into the dense Conifer forest. A person only needs to see one to never forget the experience and to know they are real and do exist.
Nicely done video. We have a few in Coastal Georgia also. One of my buddies carries a double 455/500 since he had a close encounter coming out of Ft. Stewart swamps around twenty years ago. It is more than he needs for even the biggest hog, but he wants to be ready in case he has to protect himself and harvest the "proof" next time.
455/500? Next step down from rpg, right? 😂 Lot of hawgs over there in Glennville too.
@@dvorok499 Yeah, I don't keep up with it any more, too old, but they used to get some big ones going West toward the sand hills. There were a couple of sightings of "forest people" out that way also. Not as big as out West, but up to almost eight feet estimated. Back in '72 one scared the hell out of Captain Tom's wife and the maid one morning by chasing the maid down the driveway to the house in Cresent, GA. They said they screamed bloody murder and it broke off.
“Harvesting the proof” by shooting and killing them is a bad idea. I can’t think of a justifiable reason to do this. Fame and fortune are not reasonable motives and anyone who deliberately kills one of these creatures would not be a hero and would likely be shunned by those who want to protect any creature so rare. These are sentient bipedal primates, much like we are, and possibly our closest living relative. Tell your friend to rethink that idea and take a picture or a video instead.
@@bobbwest You don't need to think of a reason if you read my comment with attention. He wants to be ready in case he has to protect himself. Not all encounters with forest people and bears and hogs are friendly.
There are some in Helen too
I saw the interviews of the two people who were in the Patterson, Gimlin tape who made the costume and one that wore the costume and the person that made the costume had no idea why Patterson asked for a female ape suit until he saw it on the news and he said..." hey, that's my suit I made that guy "...so that was proven a hoax.
Every Big Foot believer has seen that evidence. But who wants their ego shattered. So they'll just dismiss it as a lie.
@@markross7385 well someone is lying. I believe gimlin and patterson more than the suit guy
"Suit guy" the one who said he wore it, couldn't even find the location ..And Phillip Morris was offered 1 million dollars to recreate said suit ..and couldn't even come close
The fact that the Vikings, Amerindians & settlers have the same descriptions & stories says a lot. They didn't communicate this with each other and the nay-sayers I know can't explain that as well as other evidence. Based on this I've always been a believer but in 2016 became a knower having personally had 4 sightings through 2018. I always say, one day people will know more
Cliff is the one member of the Finding Bigfoot Team that I could take seriously. The other three? Not so much. He should have his own show on the TV.
I found 24 inch tracks in the snow in my backyard. And after further investigation it was the neighbor baby.
I recently had someone arguing with me that Bigfoots do not exist. His reasoning was that he knew a guy with big rubber feet to put on and scare people in campgrounds. The Patterson/Gimlin film I first saw in the early 1970s was the proof I needed but apparently the Bigfoot was too far away for most people to get a clue about its size, movements, body structure, muscles flexing, ETC. The Bigfoot even had large boobs indicating it was a female but these idiots want to believe it's still somehow a person in a costume. The goal now is to get UP CLOSE video that can't be denied by most skeptic. Wish "Finding Bigfoot" would do their job and actually help with this endeavor.
video would never be enough. computer software makes it easier to hoax! No video will be seen as 100%proof because of this. A body is the only proof acceptable to science.The P?G film isnt good enough,although impressive. My issue isnt the film but Patterson character and the fact he drew an exact picture of a female bigfoot years beforehand! The chance a dodgy broke character wanted to become rich of bigfoot! managed to film the same bigfoot he drew!! where are the 1000s of other P/G films?
Of course Big Foot exists...and so does Santa...Happy New Year !!! 😁
Yeah! I grew up in Boring...I live in Utah now, but my heart will always be in my hometown Boring
Thank you Sir for your excellent presentation! 🙏
