@@hughjunit2503 - I know what you mean, but I still have to respect that for his university's protection he has to see this as a standard ape offshoot. Legal department would have put forth conditions. Big business is always gutless.
@@Author_Alyssa_Taylor At some point one has to make a decision: be brave and morally aligned; or stay corrupt and be finally supported from big corporations and NeoMarxists. Unless of course, one's cognitive dissonance overrides both.
Kevin, I lived at bottom of the bear tooth pass ( Red lodge Mt) I experienced that more than once while camping around the area. It's something that will never leave me, I grew up around Helena and had similar experiences there, I never went out my way to chase them, I respect their boundaries as they do mine each time I never felt threatened actually I feel at ease.

Dr Meldrum litterally oozes credibility. Brilliant, educated and eloquent; I am riveted when he speaks. One of the greats and a true trailblazer. Wishing him the very best of health and happiness❤
@@lauras3612nah people say fake but never provided any sort of proof why they are fake. Every single bigfoot, ghost, Paranormal, lake monster, mini me video ever made people say are fake but never provide proof
Gday Paz 👍🇦🇺 good to see you mate. Aussie has the Yowie I’ve ran into one in Far North Queensland. They are far more common here than people know. Across the whole country, live in the DEEP bush. Yowie witness reports on YT is well worth a listen to 👍 take it easy Digger 🙏
The problem is the evidence is not huge. We basically have a bunch of blurry videos, and 99% of them are clearly fake, and we have some footprints, and again, 99% of those are also clearly fake. That is not huge evidence. We have next to no evidence. I believe there likely is an undiscovered ape roaming, but realistically we have very little evidence it actually exist. People simply saying they seen a large creature, or taking a video of it, does not mean it is real, and is evidence of nothing. Huge evidence would be a body, a hand or foot rotted off from getting caught in a trap, catching a live one in a trap etc, but what we have now is not even remotely evidence. We could not tell you what it looks like, what it eats, how it lives or anything else. Everything about it is just a theory. again I think it likely exist, but we have nothing that says it does exist. Remember the rash of bigfoot sightings in New Jersey a few years ago? Well that turned out to be a bear with an injured leg. Turns out it is very common for bears with injuries to walk on two legs. The bear in New Jersey became famous for walking in two legs, and was the cause of hundreds of bigfoot sightings, and is what I assume a lot of bigfoot reports are. In New Jersey they were literally saying it looked like a gorilla, and looked like what was in the Patterson Film, and again, it was just a bear. Since it was discovered to be a bear, bigfoot sightings in New Jersey have stopped. That is why you cannot take reports of sightings too seriously.
Even though I don't agree that this is just another ape, I believe they are closer to human than ape, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Dr. Meldrum is so incredibly well spoken and his research is absolutely some of the most valuable to the sasquatch phenomenon. Thanks Dr. Meldrum!
I think "Patty", like all creatures living in the wild, have a good idea how "far away" other creatures are and if it's a safe distance. This agrees with Dr. Meldrum's thoughts.
Yes! He went into great detail about all questions that came up. Very interesting and knowledgeable. I just hope they are protected when we once have a specimen.
@@dianekeilman From what I've heard "we" have lots of specimens. The question is, when will the gov't allow one to be acknowledged publicly? I doubt that will ever happen so until then we can only hope for some undeniable video evidence to come up.
According to the photo that I just took, I’m not so sure about that. I proved to myself that yes they exist. But there is much more to the equation. I even sent this man an email to show him what I found. They are either inter dimensional, being helped somehow by extraterrestrials, or some other way of evading us. Although now I know they exist, I have more questions than I have answered. And I am not making a word of this up. I’ve described the photo quite a few times but it takes too long. Keep an eye out I’ll release it soon
Thank you Dr. Meldrum for all you have done for Bigfoot research. However, not all tracks of Bigfoot are solitary. My Grandfather worked as a lumberjack in the Redwood Empire in Northern Calif back in the 20s and he told us he saw tracks of a Bigfoot family in the deep dust of the logging road cut to get into the big timber. The tracks appeared on the road from down slope, walked up the road about 100 feet and then turned back off road and headed uphill from there. They only found footprints on the road, nothing on the thick underpadding of moss and needles on the forest floor. He said his double blade axe was about 10" long, blade to blade, and the biggest print was almost double. There were smaller prints about the width of his axe head and a couple were just a little over half the width of his axe head. In more modern times there have been numerous sightings of multiple Bigfoot interacting. Ins till other incidents there have been recordings of multiple creatures chit chatting with each other.
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 Indeed he was, but he wasn't prone to fantasizing or making up stories. In fact my grandad was a man of few words, but when he talked he was either telling a joke or was deadly serious. He didn't like liars or dishonest men and wasn't a gossiper. I remember one time my dad hired a man to do some backhoe work and my Grandad found out. He drove down to my Dad's gas station and told my Dad these very words, "Watch out for him. I got no use for that man." That was all he said but it caused my dad to dig into that man's reputation and found out he had a history of taking payments for work ahead of doing the job and then just not showing up. My Grandad was not a man to put others down and that incident was huge, so huge it took my dad by surprise and led him to check out the man. What I didn't tell you is that it was over Christmas that story took place. My grandad worked with his brother and their 2 double first cousins, meaning my Grandad's father had a brother that married my grandad's mother's sister. Those 4 men were very close and all worked together in the lumber industry up in Humbolt County. Fast forward to Christmas 1958. Dutch. one of my Grandad's double first cousins, and his wife Ruthie always came for the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Dutch and Ruthie lived in Humbolt, retired like Grandad, but Dutch and Ruthie remained on lumber company timberland in Humbolt County as caretakers while the forest regrew. Dutch showed up that Christmas with some newspapers from where he lived, a small newspaper like the one we were used to where we lived in the Sierra Nevada Foothills in a very, very small community of less than 300 residents. The biggest city in the entire county had about 2,000 in population. My Grandad was playing Pedro with my Dad, my uncle Lou and Dutch, a card game similar to Bridge and Spades. They were having a ball and the game was lively. My cousin Danny and I sat watching the game intensely. We were just kids but wanted to be with the men and in the action. And yeah, the booze was flowing. They were having a ball. They finished one game and while they refreshed their drinks getting ready for another game Dutch pulled out the folded newspaper and flopped it in front of Grandad. Grandad picked it up, read it and looked at Dutch with a serious look on his face. The mood in the room instantly changed from merriment to something DEADLY serious. I, even though a kid, picked up on the seriousness and I became hyper vigilant. I learned a couple decades later that the newspapers Dutch dropped in front of Grandad was from the Humbolt Times talking about a bulldozer operator in Humbolt named Jerry Crews and his finding tracks of something with a "big foot" very like a barefoot human's print. Hence its name was created. Grandad and Dutch were clearly shaken up. They started talking back and forth about THEIR shared experience with something they encountered up there during their shared years as lumberjacks. Their story was eerily similar to what Jerry Crews reported in that newspaper. My Grandad was a big man standing 6'3". He was an avid hunter and one hell of a camp cook. I know because I hunted with those men in the years to come. Grandad knew the backwoods like the back of his hand and I've NEVER seen him frightened or upset, either before, or after that night. Same for Dutch, but that night I saw both men deeply disturbed as if they were suffering from Post Traumatic Distress flashbacks. My dad, my uncle and us kids were suddenly like we weren't there and Dutch and Grandad started talking about their shared experiences. It was like the newspaper triggered something in Dutch and the ONLY person he could talk to about it was Grandad. As they talked my Dad and Uncle sat as enraptured as us kids as the two talked it out. We ALL listened in silence and that silence somehow let Dutch and Grandad know they were in a safe, trustworthy space. Grandad and Dutch had no name for the creatures but they bandied about several encounters that scared the crap out of the entire lumberjack crew and they had no understanding for what was going on or what was doing it. They talked about several incidents they shared together that scared them both piss shitless. Then Dutch said he saw them on the timberland that he was caretaker over. as they waited for the land to regrow its trees to be harvested again. Dutch said their faces look human but are really big. He said he sees them peeking around trees at his caretakers house from time to time. That night and what my Grandad and Dutch exchanged with each other was burned into my mind and the mind of my cousin Dan and into my uncle's and my dad's mind as we all sat in an eerie silence and was just "there" for them as they unburdened something that had deeply scarred them for 50 years. That night I learned part of what being a "man" meant. When something deeply bothers you, you share it with those men you trust that are closest to you. Once that burden is shared there is never a reason to bring it up again because you know your trusted brotherhood of men will help you carry it. Well, I've carried that burden for nearly 65 years and shared a tiny piece of it here only to have you belittle what trauma those men suffered by claiming my Grandad must have been drinking too much. Wake up! Stop being a cynic. Do some research into the real evidence. Then we'll talk. ; -)
@@mjn3544... something that had deeply scarred them for 50 years. Yet they went back every day unarmed and played peek-a-boo with them ... LOL You have no real evidence ... well except for a drunk gramps.
From all the incidents I've heard, it appears they usually are present in family groups with most members hidden hidden nearby in the bush and one adult revealing itself to the human interlopers.
I respect this man. Seems to be the same guy he was 20 years ago when talking about this subject. He has a perfect disposition to deal with a topic like this. Oh I’m sure someone somewhere has got under his skin at some point in time……who hasn’t. This was another great upload. Two for two. 👍 (watched two so far😉)
Another thing about our encounters, not just sightings, in Connecticut is that the State has a fairly well developed manufacturing and industrial base, including Submarines, jet engines, etc. along with, of course, higher institutions such as Yale University, UCONN & others. However this State is still considered 60% woodlands. 2 of our 3 encounters occurred in our backyard, literally in our kitchen window & by the kitchen door. The house is next to approx. 2,000 acres of protected Watershed property but we were only 5-10 minutes from a number of downtowns in our State.
Our 3 face to face encounters in Connecticut were as real as it gets. Only to be verified by my sister years later, when she, without me knowing it, told both of my daughters that she saw a gorilla staring in the kitchen window at Grandma's when she was growing up. Then they told me. This brought back a flood of memories. What happened was my sister was washing dishes and screamed out loud. We all came running to see what happened. After this my Father 82nd Airborne Paratrooper, set a hose turned on & kept by the kitchen door, to spray the "neighborhood pranksters" as that's what he thought this was. It did return a few nights later, and my sister screamed again. This time my Father ran outside & sprayed what he thought was someone in a costume. This caused it to lunge at him before it went back into the woods. When he came inside he said whatever that was, it was big and certainly not pranksters. After this he bought a rifle and kept it by the kitchen door. He also showed me where he kept the box of ammo and told me "it's for just in case" Again, this was in Connecticut , not Alaska, not the Ural mountains of Russia, but in Southern New England, a State with a fairly well developed manufacturing and industrial base, but is still considered 60% woodlands even in 2024.
We also had occurrences of small piles of stones left after my Mother started leaving fruit and vegetables on a stump near the woods, we had our house get punched at night breaking the vinyl siding and found upside down trees in the woods, also in Connecticut.
I first learned of Dr Meldrum not too long ago, while watching MonsterQuest TV series which is an early aught's show. He was so much younger then. Then I got the bigfoot bug and started to consume any media I can find about bigfoot and the like. Then I have been regularly seeing him. What I liked about him is his mellow yet determined disposition. Unlike those that are so hyper and gungho that forces everyone to believe them. He presents you the information and observations and explains it in a way where a non-scientist like me can understand. All the best to him.
I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days with Jeff, and he is a wonderful human being and his insight was invaluable for me. I hope to run into him again someday.
That must’ve been a pleasure. It’s nice to hear you say that about him. I’ve been under the impression for a good long time that he’s a very fine gentleman. I’ve made it a point to search for and enjoy videos from him for years.
Dr. Jeff is quite a guy. I have lots of admiration for him and I find him to be extremely fascinating. We have something in common. I too am in Idaho. I’m sure glad he recovered from his health issue and I wish him the very best👍🏻🇺🇸
I had the pleasure to meet and visit with Dr Meldrum at the Texas Bigfoot conference a few yrs ago. Just as nice and pleasant in person as he appears on video/ TV. Really likeable guy.
Sasquatch Ontario has the first ever actual photos of the faces of two Sasquatch beings ever to be photographed with detailed facial expressions. He (the photographer) was even told by the beings to show the world what they looked like. It’s rather shocking. Sasquatch Ontario is a legit RUclips channel that has almost gone unnoticed.
I just love Jeff Meldrum. He use to be a non believer of Bigfoot until he noticed dermal ridges in the foot print casts. Now he's a believer & probably has the most casts of anyone in the world. Just love listening to him.
This is an excellent interview. I really enjoy Dr. Meldrum. I have long suspected that the major progenitor of what we now know as 'Sasquatch' was the robust Australopithecines such as Paranthropus bosei and/or robustus. I don't think that Paranthropus were the sole progenitors, but a major contributor, which then blended with other Hominid lines and stabilized into the megafaunal ice--age hominid that is still with us as Sasquatch. This is very similar to our story, with our descent from the gracile Australopithecines and the long blending of types that resulted in our current incarnation as H. sapiens sapiens. It is interesting to me that all the way back to the Australopiths we see both gracile and robust forms, and that is still the case today with us (gracile) and Sasquatch (robust).
I agree with this as well. I don’t think they are descendants of giganto as we have found them to be too closely related to orangs. I think whatever Sasquatch has to be something a lot closer to us. Have you ever heard of meganthropus? I think that’s the closest thing we have found in the fossil record. We barely have any info on it and I think it’s the best bet from the fossil record.
I have gone by the Gigantopithicus which is in the fossil records based on teeth and a few jawbone fragments. It certainly had the size, walked upright and was a forest dweller and in the region of the Yeren, Rock Apes, Yeti, etc. and could just have easily crossed the bering ice sheet during the last glacial period as did humans, and made it's way to Australia also during this period, where they have the Yowie. Now I am not schooled, and probably never will be, on the various hominids you listed and Dr. Meldrum knows, but am always eager to learn.
thank you doctor. You always give such fantastic insight to this topic. It’s amazing that there’s so much discord within the people that are interested in this topic. I love listening to everything because it allows me to see the bigger picture. Again, your insight is important and invaluable.
I've been a fan of Dr. Meldrum for years. His work gave credibility to the Patterson-Gimlin video of a female Sasquatch by his study of the foot castes and musculature, as she walked. I disagree that BF is always singular. Multiple tracks have been found together and individuals seen with other BF, including their young. Thank you for all your contributions to this knowledge Dr. Meldrum. I'm glad to hear you are much better.
I have heard them. I have had walnuts thrown at me. I have found 16”and 18” footprints on hard surfaces. I have seen them. No if and’s or But’s about it they exist.
Another type of comparison is how many people say, in America, have reported finding a bear's skull in contrast to a Sasquatch's? Silent dirigible drones with infra-red & infra-sound detectors & electronic noses, may be useful as well. There's the 411 missing people in National parks. If Sasquatch's eat Deer & Elk, it's not a long stretch of the imagination to think it's possible that they may eat humans too.
To AFloridason- but as a human you would eat other species. BF isn’t human so it’s not a stretch to think they would eat humans. Also, Alaskan native Indians have oral history of BF eating people.
Dr. Meldrum....as I know the back of my hand, I k ow that these primates, the Sasquatch exists. Although I have not seen one, I have felt one in the sense that I k own they are there as I walk in the mountains of the almost one million acres of the Catskills and the 6 million acres of the Adirondacks! Sasquatch are much more adapted to these environments then we as humans can ever hope to be! Thank you for all your courage and thoughtfulness as well as your knowledge throughout the years! John from Woodstock, NY
Great video. I love Dr Meldrum and his knowledge and wisdom. He is truly remarkable. I believe in sasquatchs and he believes as well so that just confirms it for me..
Boy,I wish that I could talk,converse,have ALL those words in my every day vocabulary,and speak to everyone I encounter in a day in this manner,I being who I am would trip them out!!
❤️When was this interview done because Dr. Meldrum was very I’ll about 6 weeks ago and had to be air lifted from a cruise ship? He is very knowledgeable and I was very worried about him.❤️🙏
The problem you face with DNA studies is the frequent disregard of samples because they demonstrate “human DNA”, so called contamination! That may very well NOT be contamination at all? Just suggesting a closer relative of ourselves?
A little strange to suggest that the mountain gorilla was “discovered“. They lived alongside humans for thousands of years before the European came along.
There's a trillion stories of them globally. For centuries, and by many cultures. Its just an enigma to people, whose beliefs get in the way of logical conclusion. Yes, I'm speaking of my experience that goes back 47 years. Yes, I've lived for years in the wilds. Yes, I have and know they exist, not only by seeing them, tracks, various rocks thrown, a boulder slammed once, it was after hunting in their area. No problems before or after I quit hunting. Never filled a tag for 20 plus years, seems quite obvious with a strong protest. Wood knocking, single Sasquatch. Up to 3 in different directions at 2:30 AM. After 15 min I went back to sleep. Like a baby, feeling ultra safe, knowing their there. Once, 18, 16, 15, 12, feet came down the mountain, walked around the minivan, and walked towards the entrance but went left back up the mountain. That was such a fantastic visit. I slept through the night but my wife, ex now, woke up but was too afraid to move. Lol. She woke me for the 3 wood knockers, lol. She had her own sightings. One, 7.5 miles East of Austin Junction Oregon, and her second one, with me at Boiling Springs Campground, 22.5 miles North of Crouch Idaho. Its been 3 years since my last sighting, heading east through the beginning of Camp Creek Canyon. It was near the top of the canyon, ducked straight down, bending its knees, not bending over like a human. Hid behind some sage brush as we drove by. Reddish black rock, he looked like a humans upper silhouette. Stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Im hhyper vigilant and observant. PTSD from a child hood stalker, peeping in the windows, breaking into the house. Oregon to North Dakota, where Im from originally Williston. MMA is my hobby since I was 8. Anyways, seen 18 inch tracks near John Day Oregon a couple of years ago. Appeared to me from the age and path of deer and Sasquatch footprints and tracks, ran up the steep hill to snatch a deer, make a U turn and go down hill to the road, in a heavy rocky substrate. The intersection of the tracks, lead me to that theory. Never seen any bears or predators within 100 yards of my tent, not even camping next to a river and creek, in Alaska, 9 months living in a tent. Many stories shared about them with me. Pictures of a Dead Hibagon, Japanese Bigfoot, on Brink Books RUclips channel. Thank you. Chi-Miigwich Dr. Meldrum. Boise Idaho USA indoongibaa. Lol, Ojibway and Cree. 👣🦅🚣♂️🏹🔥🔥🔥🐟🐟🐟🐟💌❤🖤💛
good well thought out opinion. I would however like to point out that they are NOT only seen as single individuals. Predominantly yes, but not exclusively
As he said they've found bear skeletons and skulls in the wild, they've caught bears on trail cams, and they have them in zoos. All you can gain from this, is that bears exist. Even polar bears have been observed in their natural habitat in the arctic, a huge area with a tiny population of people. Yet clear proof of their existence in the wild. This again is proof of the polar bear and not proof of Bigfoot. People have been trying to find Bigfoot for decades and in the past 20 years, there have been 100s of investigations by professionals with the best equipment available, cameras, drones etc. Yet they can't find it, doesn't it sound like it probably doesn't exist, despite a wish or desire to think it does. Many scientific people also believe in God, but we all know that was something created by man to control man. And no god hasn't even left footprints or been seen rummaging through garbage cans and peering through children's windows. Belief doesn't mean something exists, proof means it exists. If I saw tangible testable proof, I'd accept it's existence. But footprints and eye witness accounts aren't proof. Despite what people say about this would be accepted as proof in a court of law, the answer is it wouldn't.. It only would be if a suspect was known and it could be connected to them through this evidence.. Remote possibility that the yeti may exist, but it won't be an ape like creature, most likely some kind of unknown bear, but wouldn't look much different to a known bear and it may spend slightly more time on its hind legs than a Regular bear.
It would have been a lot better if the volume had been turned up a bit. I always like hearing what Dr. Meldrum has to say. It may just be my laptop, but, I could barely hear much of this discussion.
I wish he would have brought up the blood, hair and finger/hand prints - Would also like to know his thoughts on ThinkerThunker's Proportional DNA system...
@@AranRinzeiTodds videos are suspicious I do agree , but he’s still out in the middle of nowhere doing the research. And I think a lot of people get behind that in the Bigfoot community. He has gathered dna evidence and audio that is pretty damn compelling
He did then Dr Jeff Meldrum backtracked on his encounter with Todd and has stated that he doesn't know what he witnessed on the thermal camera that night.
Imagine: you're looking for a animal. let's makeup a number, between 8 to 10k of them. They're spread out from all corners of the USA, Canada and Alaska. Pretty daunting, no? Now, they are also nocturnal, and inhabit the most difficult terrain in every area. They're aware of their surroundings, and very skittish fast and shy. Oh, and they're born in a ghillie suit that's evolved over time to their area. Literally, as the joke goes, being naturally blurry looking. Now you might say "sure, thats tough, but if they were there surely someone would have seen one or snapped a photo or video by now." 🙄 😑 Now consider also: a public announcement, or official recognition would immediately halt ALL forest industries, until populations, habitat, habits and so forth could be estsblished. No more drilling, no more excavating, no mining, no lumber, no national park explorations etc unless the area could be deemed either totally free of Bigfoots, or their numbers sufficient to support threatening them. Obviously, the latter would almost certainly not be the case. The former would be nearly impossible or extremely expensive to establish. It would literally be a trillion dollar announcement. One that would upset money going into the power people's pockets. The evidence is there. So is the incentive for controlled opposition such as the History channels nonsense. Not to mention you would see millions of people flood into the forest to try to be the one define footage or tick tock clout, which opens up a whole other door for problems. Or, we can just let things ride, they're obviously taken care of themselves somehow. Personally, I think it's best to keep the Legend a myth. IYKYK 😊🦍
Thanks Prof, your dedication will eventually pay recognition and all who doubted will be enlightened as a result. This species as all will have abhorrent behavior which in my opinion results in some of these mysteries.
From my personal experience sasquatch are a species of wild human. They have language but can speak telepathically. They can also effect your dreams, give you visions (project images), remote view, astral project and cloak. Pretty wild I know
" *They have language but can speak telepathically. They can also effect your dreams, give you visions (project images), remote view, astral project and cloak.* " Of course it can! None of which can be proven objectively, but only in the inner rescesses of YOUR mind. I don't disbelieve in Bigfoot, but I do know what proof is. What's wild is that you think your dreams and crap are actually proof. Just wondering. If you needed brain surgery, and your doctor told you he/she got their training through, telepathy, dreams, visions, remote viewing, astral projection, and cloaking, would you start looking for another doctor??? Personally, if my doctor told me that, I wouldn't let them lance a boil on my butt.
I have been a fan of Dr. Meldrum for years. One of the first Sasquatch books I read is his Sasqautch Legend Meets Science. Extraordinary as the the TV documentary. I believe the Dr. may be doing an updated version, I certainly hope so. I do think his assessment years ago that probably only 6000 are in North America, is way below the actual number, but who knows? I do know that now that this subject is not nearly as taboo as it was even a decade ago, that so many people are finally coming out to tell about their experiences, and I myself have had my share.
Meldrum took credit for what Thinker Thunker found on the Patty film. There's a frame where you can see her foot flex as she's stepping. Thinker thunker was the first to recognize and highlight this and Meldrum took credit for it. TT made a video about his stolen work.
I am a fan of Sasquatch and Dr Jeff Meldrum. But I wonder at the lack of focus on scat or its droppings, which should be almost unmissable; why isn't more said about this? Do these droppings degrade quickly or not? Also, if analyzed for DNA what kind of difficulties are there in attribution or understanding if it indicates an unknown species? Also, the PG film, will now because of the abilities of A.I. to alter images or create them, become even more impressive and significant. We may never see better; because recent images will be less reliable.
Dr. Meldrum like Dr. Krantz add SO MUCH insight into this enigma it's like a breath of fresh air. Honestly if two doctors of anthropology believe that this creature/animal/man beast what have you exists. I'm on board with them all the way. He is right that the footprint evidence is overwhelmingly genuine and something indeed is leaving tracks. If only we could for certain find out what exactly that "something" is. I firmly believe we will in due time.
The "no corpse" argument is based in city slicker ignorance. I saw a documentary where they staked down a dead deer in a northwest forest with steel cables to prevent it from being taken away, and set up a time lapse camera to record the proceedings. It was unrecognizable in days and almost completely gone in a couple weeks. To say that anyone would happen to stumble across a dead Squatch in what would likely be as remote of an area as one could imagine is just so much hubris.
Yes, indeed. I spent a great deal of time in mountains of Montana for years, and later in nearby states as well, and never once did I ever discover remains of a cougar (Mountain Lion), and I never met anyone who had. We know for certain, that there are a lot more cougar than there are Bigfoot apes.
Males no difference if you'd seen one or not, many people have, they've been observed in the wild, caught on trail cams and are seen in zoos, so they exist. It really comes down to proof, and being open minded and not just accepting something as fact based on your own bias. You are here because you believe it exists, want it too exist. So are watching something that reaffirms your own personal belief so you are willing to be conditioned into that. Your mind was made up already. You didn't think.. Oh there's no evidence, no proof, let's be objective about it, you already assumed it existed and needed no proof. Because this video doesn't provide any proof, the only proof it provides is bears exist and we know they do, therefore Bigfoot must exist.. Kind of illogical, and also funny seeing as most people often dispel Bigfoot sightings and simply bear's. If they did exist, then the population would have to be considerably smaller than grizzly bears, which are easy to find by a group of people. No problem, they don't need much time to come upon a grizzly in the wild. So let's say Bigfoot population is very small in comparison to grizzly bear's, they'd have to be otherwise we'd have easily found them by now. So it's logical to assume grizzly must kill them fairly often, as it couldn't be the other way around, or Bigfoot population would be bigger than grizzly population. And if that were the case, it would suggest Bigfoot doesn't exist
I am another one who has found a bear skull in the forest. It was a cub's... very small. Very clean and white, with no remaining flesh or hair. We have not found more or fresher remains. We also have no idea how many missing persons could have encountered Sasquatch, with a fatal ending for the human hiker/hunter. The better answer to the question of are they dangerous is, We don't know; proceed with caution.
In all I have read and researched, and by no means an expert I have often come across different eye colors black ,yellow/orange, and red and for all accounts it seems those with the red eye tint are the aggressive angry ones and possibly the cannibalistic group
Bigfoot skin their deer like pulling off a sock and they then disect them differently than humans and set down for a picnic without even a tooth mark on the bones.
no actual Bigfoot has ever been part of an in-depth study, there are no truly proficient people in the subject. Granted, again, there are those who possess PhDs in the sciences of biology that would know a great deal of what they were talking about concerning giant, hairy hominids. But without direct observation, even they can only use their knowledge to speculate.
25:35 - dev, diva, deus, devil, divine, faun, zeus, theos... It's sasquatch. His influence on religion, with all the desire, cannot be ignored. But for now, I agree, we should limit ourselves to discovering it only as a biological species, and then all other aspects will follow.
According to the LiDAR scan data f the area by the expedition Bigfoot team and experts stated that Patty is 6’3”. Mireya then stated that in the primate world, a silverback can be (forgive my memory) 25-30% larger than the female gorilla. This means that if Patty was a typical Sasquatch; the males would stand 7.5-8’ tall…thereby aligning with witness descriptions
Not sure when this interview was done, but on Expedition Bigfoot, they have caught 2 forest people they on Lidar. They most recent one was on season 4, and I think the 1st one was season 2 or 3. I cannot remember exactly but the first one was when the Lidar guy was out at night trying to find a particular area from when Ronnie was sitting out there alone. The second one in season 4 was when Russ found the mine by the waterfall, and they sent in the Lidar dog to see if it was safe to enter the mine. Cool tech to use with looking for Forest people.
So glad he has bounced back from his medical situation. His connection between science and Bigfoot is invaluable.
What ended up happening to him??? Heart attack?? Although i no longer agree with his assesment i wish him well
@@hughjunit2503 - I know what you mean, but I still have to respect that for his university's protection he has to see this as a standard ape offshoot. Legal department would have put forth conditions. Big business is always gutless.
His ability to connect science and Bigfoot has yielded NOTHING! Far from “invaluable”! Wanna buy a bridge? Maybe some ocean front property?!

Kevin, I lived at bottom of the bear tooth pass ( Red lodge Mt) I experienced that more than once while camping around the area. It's something that will never leave me, I grew up around Helena and had similar experiences there, I never went out my way to chase them, I respect their boundaries as they do mine each time I never felt threatened actually I feel at ease.

Dr Meldrum litterally oozes credibility. Brilliant, educated and eloquent; I am riveted when he speaks.
One of the greats and a true trailblazer.
Wishing him the very best of health and happiness❤
Dr. Meldrum as well as Dr. Todd Standing are my two favorite Bigfoot researchers.
@@Poser_Metal_Records it's unfortunate Standing faked his bigfoot in the Sylvanic videos. Thought it was the real deal at first.
@The_Original_Homeboy Todd is a fake, and I emailed Jeff with questions he couldn't answer! He got very rude about it! Very disappointing
Everything he "oozes" is conjecture!! Nothing more! Ask him for real proof! He doesn't like it, cuz he has none!!!
@@lauras3612nah people say fake but never provided any sort of proof why they are fake. Every single bigfoot, ghost, Paranormal, lake monster, mini me video ever made people say are fake but never provide proof
Thank you, Dr. Meldrum. It's a pleasure to hear your words.
What a level headed synopsis this gentleman.
Gday Paz 👍🇦🇺 good to see you mate. Aussie has the Yowie I’ve ran into one in Far North Queensland. They are far more common here than people know. Across the whole country, live in the DEEP bush. Yowie witness reports on YT is well worth a listen to 👍 take it easy Digger 🙏
Love Dr. Meldrum. A true scientist who doesn't blow this off.
The problem is the evidence is not huge. We basically have a bunch of blurry videos, and 99% of them are clearly fake, and we have some footprints, and again, 99% of those are also clearly fake. That is not huge evidence. We have next to no evidence. I believe there likely is an undiscovered ape roaming, but realistically we have very little evidence it actually exist. People simply saying they seen a large creature, or taking a video of it, does not mean it is real, and is evidence of nothing. Huge evidence would be a body, a hand or foot rotted off from getting caught in a trap, catching a live one in a trap etc, but what we have now is not even remotely evidence. We could not tell you what it looks like, what it eats, how it lives or anything else. Everything about it is just a theory. again I think it likely exist, but we have nothing that says it does exist. Remember the rash of bigfoot sightings in New Jersey a few years ago? Well that turned out to be a bear with an injured leg. Turns out it is very common for bears with injuries to walk on two legs. The bear in New Jersey became famous for walking in two legs, and was the cause of hundreds of bigfoot sightings, and is what I assume a lot of bigfoot reports are. In New Jersey they were literally saying it looked like a gorilla, and looked like what was in the Patterson Film, and again, it was just a bear. Since it was discovered to be a bear, bigfoot sightings in New Jersey have stopped. That is why you cannot take reports of sightings too seriously.
Even though I don't agree that this is just another ape, I believe they are closer to human than ape, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Dr. Meldrum is so incredibly well spoken and his research is absolutely some of the most valuable to the sasquatch phenomenon. Thanks Dr. Meldrum!
Humans are apes. So what you just said is bigfoot is closer to an ape than an ape lol.
I think "Patty", like all creatures living in the wild, have a good idea how "far away" other creatures are and if it's a safe distance. This agrees with Dr. Meldrum's thoughts.
Then how do people get close enough to see them ..... Hmmmmm?
Meldrum knows Patty is fake but he profiteers from the weak minded that are dazzled by words normal people never speak.
I could listen to Dr Meldrum talk all day, I hope Sasquatch is a recognised species soon.
Yes! He went into great detail about all questions that came up. Very interesting and knowledgeable. I just hope they are protected when we once have a specimen.
@@dianekeilman From what I've heard "we" have lots of specimens. The question is, when will the gov't allow one to be acknowledged publicly? I doubt that will ever happen so until then we can only hope for some undeniable video evidence to come up.
According to the photo that I just took, I’m not so sure about that. I proved to myself that yes they exist. But there is much more to the equation. I even sent this man an email to show him what I found. They are either inter dimensional, being helped somehow by extraterrestrials, or some other way of evading us. Although now I know they exist, I have more questions than I have answered. And I am not making a word of this up. I’ve described the photo quite a few times but it takes too long. Keep an eye out I’ll release it soon

Thank you Dr. Meldrum for all you have done for Bigfoot research. However, not all tracks of Bigfoot are solitary. My Grandfather worked as a lumberjack in the Redwood Empire in Northern Calif back in the 20s and he told us he saw tracks of a Bigfoot family in the deep dust of the logging road cut to get into the big timber. The tracks appeared on the road from down slope, walked up the road about 100 feet and then turned back off road and headed uphill from there. They only found footprints on the road, nothing on the thick underpadding of moss and needles on the forest floor. He said his double blade axe was about 10" long, blade to blade, and the biggest print was almost double. There were smaller prints about the width of his axe head and a couple were just a little over half the width of his axe head. In more modern times there have been numerous sightings of multiple Bigfoot interacting. Ins till other incidents there have been recordings of multiple creatures chit chatting with each other.
It appears gramps was a drinking man.
@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 Indeed he was, but he wasn't prone to fantasizing or making up stories. In fact my grandad was a man of few words, but when he talked he was either telling a joke or was deadly serious. He didn't like liars or dishonest men and wasn't a gossiper. I remember one time my dad hired a man to do some backhoe work and my Grandad found out. He drove down to my Dad's gas station and told my Dad these very words, "Watch out for him. I got no use for that man." That was all he said but it caused my dad to dig into that man's reputation and found out he had a history of taking payments for work ahead of doing the job and then just not showing up. My Grandad was not a man to put others down and that incident was huge, so huge it took my dad by surprise and led him to check out the man.
What I didn't tell you is that it was over Christmas that story took place. My grandad worked with his brother and their 2 double first cousins, meaning my Grandad's father had a brother that married my grandad's mother's sister. Those 4 men were very close and all worked together in the lumber industry up in Humbolt County.
Fast forward to Christmas 1958. Dutch. one of my Grandad's double first cousins, and his wife Ruthie always came for the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Dutch and Ruthie lived in Humbolt, retired like Grandad, but Dutch and Ruthie remained on lumber company timberland in Humbolt County as caretakers while the forest regrew. Dutch showed up that Christmas with some newspapers from where he lived, a small newspaper like the one we were used to where we lived in the Sierra Nevada Foothills in a very, very small community of less than 300 residents. The biggest city in the entire county had about 2,000 in population.
My Grandad was playing Pedro with my Dad, my uncle Lou and Dutch, a card game similar to Bridge and Spades. They were having a ball and the game was lively. My cousin Danny and I sat watching the game intensely. We were just kids but wanted to be with the men and in the action. And yeah, the booze was flowing. They were having a ball.
They finished one game and while they refreshed their drinks getting ready for another game Dutch pulled out the folded newspaper and flopped it in front of Grandad. Grandad picked it up, read it and looked at Dutch with a serious look on his face. The mood in the room instantly changed from merriment to something DEADLY serious. I, even though a kid, picked up on the seriousness and I became hyper vigilant. I learned a couple decades later that the newspapers Dutch dropped in front of Grandad was from the Humbolt Times talking about a bulldozer operator in Humbolt named Jerry Crews and his finding tracks of something with a "big foot" very like a barefoot human's print. Hence its name was created.
Grandad and Dutch were clearly shaken up. They started talking back and forth about THEIR shared experience with something they encountered up there during their shared years as lumberjacks. Their story was eerily similar to what Jerry Crews reported in that newspaper. My Grandad was a big man standing 6'3". He was an avid hunter and one hell of a camp cook. I know because I hunted with those men in the years to come. Grandad knew the backwoods like the back of his hand and I've NEVER seen him frightened or upset, either before, or after that night. Same for Dutch, but that night I saw both men deeply disturbed as if they were suffering from Post Traumatic Distress flashbacks. My dad, my uncle and us kids were suddenly like we weren't there and Dutch and Grandad started talking about their shared experiences. It was like the newspaper triggered something in Dutch and the ONLY person he could talk to about it was Grandad. As they talked my Dad and Uncle sat as enraptured as us kids as the two talked it out. We ALL listened in silence and that silence somehow let Dutch and Grandad know they were in a safe, trustworthy space.
Grandad and Dutch had no name for the creatures but they bandied about several encounters that scared the crap out of the entire lumberjack crew and they had no understanding for what was going on or what was doing it. They talked about several incidents they shared together that scared them both piss shitless. Then Dutch said he saw them on the timberland that he was caretaker over. as they waited for the land to regrow its trees to be harvested again. Dutch said their faces look human but are really big. He said he sees them peeking around trees at his caretakers house from time to time.
That night and what my Grandad and Dutch exchanged with each other was burned into my mind and the mind of my cousin Dan and into my uncle's and my dad's mind as we all sat in an eerie silence and was just "there" for them as they unburdened something that had deeply scarred them for 50 years. That night I learned part of what being a "man" meant. When something deeply bothers you, you share it with those men you trust that are closest to you. Once that burden is shared there is never a reason to bring it up again because you know your trusted brotherhood of men will help you carry it.
Well, I've carried that burden for nearly 65 years and shared a tiny piece of it here only to have you belittle what trauma those men suffered by claiming my Grandad must have been drinking too much. Wake up! Stop being a cynic. Do some research into the real evidence. Then we'll talk. ; -)
@@mjn3544... something that had deeply scarred them for 50 years. Yet they went back every day unarmed and played peek-a-boo with them ... LOL
You have no real evidence ... well except for a drunk gramps.
From all the incidents I've heard, it appears they usually are present in family groups with most members hidden hidden nearby in the bush and one adult revealing itself to the human interlopers.

Dr.Meldrum always speaks very elegantly.
He is not a bad guy, but he is working for people with money and very dangerous intentions.
So do scam artists the world over as they can talk you into believing that there is something tangible when it isn't

Another thing about our encounters, not just sightings, in Connecticut is that the State has a fairly well developed manufacturing and industrial base, including Submarines, jet engines, etc. along with, of course, higher institutions such as Yale University, UCONN & others. However this State is still considered 60% woodlands. 2 of our 3 encounters occurred in our backyard, literally in our kitchen window & by the kitchen door. The house is next to approx. 2,000 acres of protected Watershed property but we were only 5-10 minutes from a number of downtowns in our State.
Our 3 face to face encounters in Connecticut were as real as it gets. Only to be verified by my sister years later, when she, without me knowing it, told both of my daughters that she saw a gorilla staring in the kitchen window at Grandma's when she was growing up. Then they told me. This brought back a flood of memories. What happened was my sister was washing dishes and screamed out loud. We all came running to see what happened. After this my Father 82nd Airborne Paratrooper, set a hose turned on & kept by the kitchen door, to spray the "neighborhood pranksters" as that's what he thought this was. It did return a few nights later, and my sister screamed again. This time my Father ran outside & sprayed what he thought was someone in a costume. This caused it to lunge at him before it went back into the woods. When he came inside he said whatever that was, it was big and certainly not pranksters. After this he bought a rifle and kept it by the kitchen door. He also showed me where he kept the box of ammo and told me "it's for just in case" Again, this was in Connecticut , not Alaska, not the Ural mountains of Russia, but in Southern New England, a State with a fairly well developed manufacturing and industrial base, but is still considered 60% woodlands even in 2024.
Connecticut.🤦♂️
We also had occurrences of small piles of stones left after my Mother started leaving fruit and vegetables on a stump near the woods, we had our house get punched at night breaking the vinyl siding and found upside down trees in the woods, also in Connecticut.
Thanks for just letting him talk. He's so credible on this subject.
I first learned of Dr Meldrum not too long ago, while watching MonsterQuest TV series which is an early aught's show. He was so much younger then. Then I got the bigfoot bug and started to consume any media I can find about bigfoot and the like. Then I have been regularly seeing him. What I liked about him is his mellow yet determined disposition. Unlike those that are so hyper and gungho that forces everyone to believe them. He presents you the information and observations and explains it in a way where a non-scientist like me can understand. All the best to him.
Just found your channel recently. I am really enjoying your uploads so far. Thank you
Thank you! Lots more exciting things to come!
I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days with Jeff, and he is a wonderful human being and his insight was invaluable for me. I hope to run into him again someday.

I had the pleasure to meet and visit with Dr Meldrum at the Texas Bigfoot conference a few yrs ago. Just as nice and pleasant in person as he appears on video/ TV. Really likeable guy.
Sasquatch Ontario has the first ever actual photos of the faces of two Sasquatch beings ever to be photographed with detailed facial expressions.
He (the photographer) was even told by the beings to show the world what they looked like.
It’s rather shocking.
Sasquatch Ontario is a legit RUclips channel that has almost gone unnoticed.
Sasquatch Ontario is a hoaxer.
I just love Jeff Meldrum. He use to be a non believer of Bigfoot until he noticed dermal ridges in the foot print casts. Now he's a believer & probably has the most casts of anyone in the world. Just love listening to him.
Jeff has done so much for the Bigfoot community.
What a treat on a Sunday evening! I love Jeff

Decades of accumulated knowledge and belief brought together in one interview. And Bigfoot does exist!
Absolutely!
He is the greatest. I am 100% in agreement with his assessment of sasquatch.
There's a sucker born every minute.
This is an excellent interview. I really enjoy Dr. Meldrum. I have long suspected that the major progenitor of what we now know as 'Sasquatch' was the robust Australopithecines such as Paranthropus bosei and/or robustus. I don't think that Paranthropus were the sole progenitors, but a major contributor, which then blended with other Hominid lines and stabilized into the megafaunal ice--age hominid that is still with us as Sasquatch. This is very similar to our story, with our descent from the gracile Australopithecines and the long blending of types that resulted in our current incarnation as H. sapiens sapiens. It is interesting to me that all the way back to the Australopiths we see both gracile and robust forms, and that is still the case today with us (gracile) and Sasquatch (robust).
Thank you for your insight. Appreciate it!
@@aflashofbigfoot - You are most welcome! Thank you for your work and all the videos you are posting. I am enjoying them!
I agree with this as well. I don’t think they are descendants of giganto as we have found them to be too closely related to orangs. I think whatever Sasquatch has to be something a lot closer to us. Have you ever heard of meganthropus? I think that’s the closest thing we have found in the fossil record. We barely have any info on it and I think it’s the best bet from the fossil record.
I have gone by the Gigantopithicus which is in the fossil records based on teeth and a few jawbone fragments. It certainly had the size, walked upright and was a forest dweller and in the region of the Yeren, Rock Apes, Yeti, etc. and could just have easily crossed the bering ice sheet during the last glacial period as did humans, and made it's way to Australia also during this period, where they have the Yowie. Now I am not schooled, and probably never will be, on the various hominids you listed and Dr. Meldrum knows, but am always eager to learn.
Whatever they turn out to be type wise, I don’t ever want to see one close up and personal! In photos or on film is good enough for me. 🦍👣
thank you doctor. You always give such fantastic insight to this topic. It’s amazing that there’s so much discord within the people that are interested in this topic. I love listening to everything because it allows me to see the bigger picture. Again, your insight is important and invaluable.
In any field of study, there are disagreements and egos. Sasquatch study is no exception.
Not only do we need to be smart enough to officially prove that they exist but we also need to be smart enough to leave them alone!
zzzzzzzzzz
We'll put Biden and Harris right on it😂
I've been a fan of Dr. Meldrum for years. His work gave credibility to the Patterson-Gimlin video of a female Sasquatch by his study of the foot castes and musculature, as she walked. I disagree that BF is always singular. Multiple tracks have been found together and individuals seen with other BF, including their young. Thank you for all your contributions to this knowledge Dr. Meldrum. I'm glad to hear you are much better.
I have heard them. I have had walnuts thrown at me. I have found 16”and 18” footprints on hard surfaces. I have seen them. No if and’s or But’s about it they exist.
The reason sasquatch looks so much like a human is because it is so much like a human.
I lov Jeff meldrums enthusiasm he's a legend.
No.. bigfoot is a legend, Jeff actually exists and there is proof of it
@@adrinathegreat3095 i believe both exist but il take ur comment made me chuckle 😃
Glad to see you feeling well Dr. Meldrum❤
I found a small bear skull once. But yes they are rare. I’ve heard Sasquatch calls, very clearly over 30 years ago near Cottage Grove OR.
Another type of comparison is how many people say, in America, have reported finding a bear's skull in contrast to a Sasquatch's?
Silent dirigible drones with infra-red & infra-sound detectors & electronic noses, may be useful as well.
There's the 411 missing people in National parks. If Sasquatch's eat Deer & Elk, it's not a long stretch of the imagination to think it's possible that they may eat humans too.
There are no elks where I live, but I've eaten lots of deer. That doesn't mean I would eat a human.
To AFloridason- but as a human you would eat other species. BF isn’t human so it’s not a stretch to think they would eat humans. Also, Alaskan native Indians have oral history of BF eating people.
Dr. Meldrum....as I know the back of my hand, I k ow that these primates, the Sasquatch exists. Although I have not seen one, I have felt one in the sense that I k own they are there as I walk in the mountains of the almost one million acres of the Catskills and the 6 million acres of the Adirondacks!
Sasquatch are much more adapted to these environments then we as humans can ever hope to be!
Thank you for all your courage and thoughtfulness as well as your knowledge throughout the years!

They are not primates.
Great video. I love Dr Meldrum and his knowledge and wisdom. He is truly remarkable. I believe in sasquatchs and he believes as well so that just confirms it for me..

Bob G said that there WERE smaller print found at the same time at Bluff Creek as told to Scot Violette.
We should spare a thought for the late John Bindernagel, who worked with Dr. Meldrum for many years, trying to shed some light on this subject matter.

They're definitely roaming southeast Ohio, Hocking Hills. They mimic human whistles, laughter, boat motors.
That’s because they are from Kentucky.
A little strange to suggest that the mountain gorilla was “discovered“. They lived alongside humans for thousands of years before the European came along.
If a gorilla lives in the forest and there's not a white man to see it,,,does it really exist?😮
This is one wonderful interview with Jeff Meldrum. He’s definitely one real scientist.
These interviews are excellent. It would be nice to list the date of the interview.
I saw one close up as a child. I spoke to Dr. Bindernagle a while back having found his contact information.
There's a trillion stories of them globally. For centuries, and by many cultures. Its just an enigma to people, whose beliefs get in the way of logical conclusion. Yes, I'm speaking of my experience that goes back 47 years. Yes, I've lived for years in the wilds. Yes, I have and know they exist, not only by seeing them, tracks, various rocks thrown, a boulder slammed once, it was after hunting in their area. No problems before or after I quit hunting. Never filled a tag for 20 plus years, seems quite obvious with a strong protest. Wood knocking, single Sasquatch. Up to 3 in different directions at 2:30 AM. After 15 min I went back to sleep. Like a baby, feeling ultra safe, knowing their there. Once, 18, 16, 15, 12, feet came down the mountain, walked around the minivan, and walked towards the entrance but went left back up the mountain. That was such a fantastic visit. I slept through the night but my wife, ex now, woke up but was too afraid to move. Lol. She woke me for the 3 wood knockers, lol. She had her own sightings. One, 7.5 miles East of Austin Junction Oregon, and her second one, with me at Boiling Springs Campground, 22.5 miles North of Crouch Idaho. Its been 3 years since my last sighting, heading east through the beginning of Camp Creek Canyon. It was near the top of the canyon, ducked straight down, bending its knees, not bending over like a human. Hid behind some sage brush as we drove by. Reddish black rock, he looked like a humans upper silhouette. Stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Im hhyper vigilant and observant. PTSD from a child hood stalker, peeping in the windows, breaking into the house. Oregon to North Dakota, where Im from originally Williston. MMA is my hobby since I was 8.
Anyways, seen 18 inch tracks near John Day Oregon a couple of years ago. Appeared to me from the age and path of deer and Sasquatch footprints and tracks, ran up the steep hill to snatch a deer, make a U turn and go down hill to the road, in a heavy rocky substrate. The intersection of the tracks, lead me to that theory. Never seen any bears or predators within 100 yards of my tent, not even camping next to a river and creek, in Alaska, 9 months living in a tent. Many stories shared about them with me.

I don't understand why this idea is ridiculed. It has never stretched my imagination.
That is because you are not educated in biology.
good well thought out opinion. I would however like to point out that they are NOT only seen as single individuals. Predominantly yes, but not exclusively
Thank you for all your research
Haven't finished the video yet but the bear skeleton question popped into my head about 2 mins before you said it. I like your line of thinking
As he said they've found bear skeletons and skulls in the wild, they've caught bears on trail cams, and they have them in zoos.
All you can gain from this, is that bears exist.
Even polar bears have been observed in their natural habitat in the arctic, a huge area with a tiny population of people.
Yet clear proof of their existence in the wild.
This again is proof of the polar bear and not proof of Bigfoot.
People have been trying to find Bigfoot for decades and in the past 20 years, there have been 100s of investigations by professionals with the best equipment available, cameras, drones etc.
Yet they can't find it, doesn't it sound like it probably doesn't exist, despite a wish or desire to think it does.
Many scientific people also believe in God, but we all know that was something created by man to control man.
And no god hasn't even left footprints or been seen rummaging through garbage cans and peering through children's windows.
Belief doesn't mean something exists, proof means it exists.
If I saw tangible testable proof, I'd accept it's existence.
But footprints and eye witness accounts aren't proof.
Despite what people say about this would be accepted as proof in a court of law, the answer is it wouldn't..
It only would be if a suspect was known and it could be connected to them through this evidence..
Remote possibility that the yeti may exist, but it won't be an ape like creature, most likely some kind of unknown bear, but wouldn't look much different to a known bear and it may spend slightly more time on its hind legs than a Regular bear.
Cool thankyou from Perth Australia 😊
It would have been a lot better if the volume had been turned up a bit. I always like hearing what Dr. Meldrum has to say. It may just be my laptop, but, I could barely hear much of this discussion.
I wish he would have brought up the blood, hair and finger/hand prints - Would also like to know his thoughts on ThinkerThunker's Proportional DNA system...
Proportional DNA - I said dimensional DNA and I too wonder if Dr. Mildrum has ever commented.
Meldrum still believes they are an ape 😂
Some people say if you look deeper into the woods there are at least 2 others in the woods!!😮❤😊
Dr. Meldrum has provided credible information regarding the topic. Highly respected.
Respected yes Highly respected? ... maybe. Remember, Dr. Meldrum endorsed Todd Standing, and that imo somewhat undermines his credibility.
@@AranRinzei What? Huh I didn’t know that. Hmmm 🤔 yeah I would have to agree, makes one wonder if he still feels that way?
@@AranRinzeiTodds videos are suspicious I do agree , but he’s still out in the middle of nowhere doing the research. And I think a lot of people get behind that in the Bigfoot community. He has gathered dna evidence and audio that is pretty damn compelling
@@AranRinzei Did he or did Standing attach himself to the Dr to establish credibility?????
He did then Dr Jeff Meldrum backtracked on his encounter with Todd and has stated that he doesn't know what he witnessed on the thermal camera that night.
excellent presentation. really appreciated the scientific viewpoint and lack of drama..
Dr. Meldrum is down to earth, scientific and does no acrobatics in making his deductions or in the statements he makes. My utmost respect.
Imagine: you're looking for a animal. let's makeup a number, between 8 to 10k of them.
They're spread out from all corners of the USA, Canada and Alaska.
Pretty daunting, no?
Now, they are also nocturnal, and inhabit the most difficult terrain in every area. They're aware of their surroundings, and very skittish fast and shy. Oh, and they're born in a ghillie suit that's evolved over time to their area. Literally, as the joke goes, being naturally blurry looking.
Now you might say "sure, thats tough, but if they were there surely someone would have seen one or snapped a photo or video by now."
🙄 😑
Now consider also: a public announcement, or official recognition would immediately halt ALL forest industries, until populations, habitat, habits and so forth could be estsblished. No more drilling, no more excavating, no mining, no lumber, no national park explorations etc unless the area could be deemed either totally free of Bigfoots, or their numbers sufficient to support threatening them. Obviously, the latter would almost certainly not be the case. The former would be nearly impossible or extremely expensive to establish. It would literally be a trillion dollar announcement. One that would upset money going into the power people's pockets.
The evidence is there. So is the incentive for controlled opposition such as the History channels nonsense.
Not to mention you would see millions of people flood into the forest to try to be the one define footage or tick tock clout, which opens up a whole other door for problems.
Or, we can just let things ride, they're obviously taken care of themselves somehow.
Personally, I think it's best to keep the Legend a myth.
IYKYK 😊🦍
Having commented before watching the video, it seems I would agree with this gentleman on many points.
Correction, it's always been a myth the longativity of this BS has turned it into a legend and lengends don't need prove so it goes on forever
Always appreciate his incredible work and dedication.
Brilliant. 🙏🏻
Thanks Prof, your dedication will eventually pay recognition and all who doubted will be enlightened as a result. This species as all will have abhorrent behavior which in my opinion results in some of these mysteries.
From my personal experience sasquatch are a species of wild human. They have language but can speak telepathically. They can also effect your dreams, give you visions (project images), remote view, astral project and cloak. Pretty wild I know
i totally agree

" *They have language but can speak telepathically. They can also effect your dreams, give you visions (project images), remote view, astral project and cloak.* " Of course it can! None of which can be proven objectively, but only in the inner rescesses of YOUR mind. I don't disbelieve in Bigfoot, but I do know what proof is. What's wild is that you think your dreams and crap are actually proof.
Just wondering. If you needed brain surgery, and your doctor told you he/she got their training through, telepathy, dreams, visions, remote viewing, astral projection, and cloaking, would you start looking for another doctor???
Personally, if my doctor told me that, I wouldn't let them lance a boil on my butt.
P.S. Disbelieve nothing. Question everything. @@cubecubesson6779
Yeah when you realize they can follow you home and do those things outside your bedroom window, it changes things.
As a hunter and a trapper, we find Skeltons of animals all the time! Just never a bigfoot
Keep up. The good work, pioneer in bigfoot. Research
I have been a fan of Dr. Meldrum for years. One of the first Sasquatch books I read is his Sasqautch Legend Meets Science. Extraordinary as the the TV documentary. I believe the Dr. may be doing an updated version, I certainly hope so. I do think his assessment years ago that probably only 6000 are in North America, is way below the actual number, but who knows? I do know that now that this subject is not nearly as taboo as it was even a decade ago, that so many people are finally coming out to tell about their experiences, and I myself have had my share.
There is a second sasquatch in the early frames of the whole capture retreating behind cover previous to the most popular stabilized video segment.
I would have loved to hear a conversation between Dr Meldrum and Dr Grover Krantz on the subject of bigfoot.
Too late now, Dr Grover Krantz, Washington State Prof. died.
Every animal talks to its species and some also use body language, including big foot. I actually saw one 20 miles east of steamboat springs in 1994.
A man of integrity and compassion. A Wonderful and courages job dr.Meldrum put his enthousiasm of 😅
So interesting. I’m so glad Dr Meldrum is ok. I love to listen to him. I got the opportunity to meet him in Ohio once.
He’s a great guy, finding no physical remains of a Sasquatch leaves us all in a dead end.
No physical remains but a memory of a lifetime and once you see one then you’ll believe
@@kevinpaddlety-jj5mg have you seen one?
@@batheavy2834 yes I’ve seen two Wyoming and Montana
@@kevinpaddlety-jj5mgare you totally convinced that what you saw wasn’t or couldn’t have been a bear?
@@batheavy2834 yes I’m sure I’ve known about these hairy man beings all my life being 💯% Native American.
Thinker Thunker has the most compelling methods/strategy for proving the existence. I think Meldrum and the rest should consult with him.
Meldrum took credit for what Thinker Thunker found on the Patty film. There's a frame where you can see her foot flex as she's stepping. Thinker thunker was the first to recognize and highlight this and Meldrum took credit for it. TT made a video about his stolen work.
🫠...tap, tap, tapping my virtual fingers.... waiting for this channel to 🎉🫣😱🤯🎉 BLOW up!!!!
I am a fan of Sasquatch and Dr Jeff Meldrum. But I wonder at the lack of focus on scat or its droppings, which should be almost unmissable; why isn't more said about this? Do these droppings degrade quickly or not? Also, if analyzed for DNA what kind of difficulties are there in attribution or understanding if it indicates an unknown species?
Also, the PG film, will now because of the abilities of A.I. to alter images or create them, become even more impressive and significant. We may never see better; because recent images will be less reliable.
Dr. Meldrum like Dr. Krantz add SO MUCH insight into this enigma it's like a breath of fresh air. Honestly if two doctors of anthropology believe that this creature/animal/man beast what have you exists. I'm on board with them all the way. He is right that the footprint evidence is overwhelmingly genuine and something indeed is leaving tracks. If only we could for certain find out what exactly that "something" is. I firmly believe we will in due time.
Thanks Jeff 🦶🇺🇸👊🏻👍🏻😎
The "no corpse" argument is based in city slicker ignorance. I saw a documentary where they staked down a dead deer in a northwest forest with steel cables to prevent it from being taken away, and set up a time lapse camera to record the proceedings. It was unrecognizable in days and almost completely gone in a couple weeks. To say that anyone would happen to stumble across a dead Squatch in what would likely be as remote of an area as one could imagine is just so much hubris.
I have seen that video too.
Yes, indeed. I spent a great deal of time in mountains of Montana for years, and later in nearby states as well, and never once did I ever discover remains of a cougar (Mountain Lion), and I never met anyone who had. We know for certain, that there are a lot more cougar than there are Bigfoot apes.
Males no difference if you'd seen one or not, many people have, they've been observed in the wild, caught on trail cams and are seen in zoos, so they exist.
It really comes down to proof, and being open minded and not just accepting something as fact based on your own bias.
You are here because you believe it exists, want it too exist.
So are watching something that reaffirms your own personal belief so you are willing to be conditioned into that.
Your mind was made up already.
You didn't think..
Oh there's no evidence, no proof, let's be objective about it, you already assumed it existed and needed no proof.
Because this video doesn't provide any proof, the only proof it provides is bears exist and we know they do, therefore Bigfoot must exist..
Kind of illogical, and also funny seeing as most people often dispel Bigfoot sightings and simply bear's.
If they did exist, then the population would have to be considerably smaller than grizzly bears, which are easy to find by a group of people.
No problem, they don't need much time to come upon a grizzly in the wild.
So let's say Bigfoot population is very small in comparison to grizzly bear's, they'd have to be otherwise we'd have easily found them by now.
So it's logical to assume grizzly must kill them fairly often, as it couldn't be the other way around, or Bigfoot population would be bigger than grizzly population.
And if that were the case, it would suggest Bigfoot doesn't exist
i think the last time that i heard jeff meldrum participated in an interview since april
I am another one who has found a bear skull in the forest. It was a cub's... very small. Very clean and white, with no remaining flesh or hair.
We have not found more or fresher remains. We also have no idea how many missing persons could have encountered Sasquatch, with a fatal ending for the human hiker/hunter. The better answer to the question of are they dangerous is, We don't know; proceed with caution.
I found one leg bone from common black bear, that was identified by Dr. Grover Krantz.
In all I have read and researched, and by no means an expert I have often come across different eye colors black ,yellow/orange, and red and for all accounts it seems those with the red eye tint are the aggressive angry ones and possibly the cannibalistic group
Not from everything I've heard.
Maybe people just think they're mean or have bad intent, which the bf will know.
Bigfoot skin their deer like pulling off a sock and they then disect them differently than humans and set down for a picnic without even a tooth mark on the bones.
Meldum is the top go to scientist on this subject today..students 🧐
no actual Bigfoot has ever been part of an in-depth study, there are no truly proficient people in the subject. Granted, again, there are those who possess PhDs in the sciences of biology that would know a great deal of what they were talking about concerning giant, hairy hominids. But without direct observation, even they can only use their knowledge to speculate.
❤ Dr. Meldrum
25:35 - dev, diva, deus, devil, divine, faun, zeus, theos... It's sasquatch. His influence on religion, with all the desire, cannot be ignored. But for now, I agree, we should limit ourselves to discovering it only as a biological species, and then all other aspects will follow.
Met this man summer 2023. Classy and polite. Reasing his book now. Incredible stuff.
Reasing?
@@jonhohensee3258 sorry about that John.
@@brockpinson949 It's okay, Broack.
@@jonhohensee3258 lol
Great interview and scientist.
According to the LiDAR scan data f the area by the expedition Bigfoot team and experts stated that Patty is 6’3”. Mireya then stated that in the primate world, a silverback can be (forgive my memory) 25-30% larger than the female gorilla. This means that if Patty was a typical Sasquatch; the males would stand 7.5-8’ tall…thereby aligning with witness descriptions
Not sure when this interview was done, but on Expedition Bigfoot, they have caught 2 forest people they on Lidar. They most recent one was on season 4, and I think the 1st one was season 2 or 3. I cannot remember exactly but the first one was when the Lidar guy was out at night trying to find a particular area from when Ronnie was sitting out there alone. The second one in season 4 was when Russ found the mine by the waterfall, and they sent in the Lidar dog to see if it was safe to enter the mine. Cool tech to use with looking for Forest people.
I suggested next time going into a cave or tunnel, have some way to blow in baby powder
