Great Show Tonight!!!

We had an awesome show tonight, with guest Tom Yamarone. We discussed how Tom got involved in the Bigfoot phenomena and some of his views on things in the Bigfoot field. Erika asked excellent questions and Smiter called in to talk to Tom and shared some interesting incidences that have happened on his property in Texas. All in all, a great show.

Great Show Tonight!!!

We had an excellent show tonight with our Guest Abe Del Rio from Minnesota. Despite some technical difficulties the show went very well. We had some interesting questions asked and Erika asked a few really good questions, plus a caller named Ticking Mind who called in and discussed some interesting topics with Abe. All in all, a very good show.

Great Show Last Night!

We had a terrific show last night, with Erika, Henry, and I discussing the Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up we all attended a couple of weeks ago. (Just take a look at the pictures on this blog.) Tom Yamarone, one of the organizers of the event, joined us for the majority of the show. We had a terrific time on the show, and I will be bringing the show back, but how often I do not know as yet. Thanks for listening.

Back from the Yakima Bigfoot Round Up!

I am back from the Yakima Bigfoot Round Up (well, I have been back since Sunday, actually) and I had a blast! It was the best day of my life in a very long time! I got to meet The Man- Bob Gimlin! I got to meet and hang out with all sorts of wonderful people! And they were all just like me! (Well, different shapes, sizes, and sexes, if that matters.) I got to meet for the first time some of those wonderful people who have helped me on my show, been supporters of my show, and who have been guests on my show: Henry May, Eric Altman. Billy Willard, John Cartright, Sherry (BigfootGal), and Bruce (Creature Seeker). I have never seen so may Bigfooters gathered in one spot before! There must have been 250 to 300 people present there! So much kindness and positive energy radiating outwardly from the people at this event! There were people there from Oregon, California, Washington, Canada, Australia, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Texas, Mississippi, and even Russia! And the way they ended the Round Up with that video! Wow! The presentations were very interesting. Dr. Bindernagel used my drawing during his presentation, and even announced I was there! I had all the books I brought signed by the authors. I even sold two copies of my book, traded one, and gave one to Dr. Bindernagel and to Tom Yamarone for letting me come to this event. I have been reliving the event over and over again in my mind and in my dreams. I will be posting pictures of the event in this blog and in my Yahoo group for all those interested. I also want to thank Tom Yamarone, James "Bobo" Fay, and Paul Graves and the people who owned the ranch for putting on such a wonderful event!

I Will Be Attending the Bigfoot Round-Up in Yakima this Weekend

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be attending the Bigfoot Round-Up this weekend in Yakima, Washington. It will be my first Bigfoot conference ever and I am very excited about it. I will be getting to meet for the first time in person Henry May, Billy Willard, Eric Altman, Sean Forker, and John Cartwright. Finally, after over a year doing my various shows with these fine gentlemen I will be able to meet them in person. I will be bringing the show back as a special after the conference to give you all an after-event report of the Bigfoot Round Up. Thanks for listening.

Great show today!

We had an excellent show today. We were originally scheduled to have Larry Battson on but he backed out at the last minute for a silly reason so I thankfully got Billy Willard of Sasquatch Watch Virginia as the guest. Billy related some very interesting stories, and Richie called from California to let us know the recent goings-on in his area. I reverted back to the questions I used to ask all my guests that I hadn't been using for awhile, and that lead to some interesting discussion. I will now start using my guest questions again. I was also the guest on Henry's show HBM's Crypto-Corner, and I had fun actually being the interviewee for once instead of the interviewer. I also have ten more copies of my book coming in the mail to anyone who wants them.

Good Show on Sunday

We had a really good show on Sunday. Eric Altman, director of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society, was the guest, and he told some really interesting stories. Richie from California also called in and told us what was going on in his area, and we also discussed the fact that Bigfoot may use railroad tracks and power lines as a means of travel. I donated a signed copy of the book that everyone wants to read but no one wants to buy to the East Coast Bigfoot Conference.

Show Format Has Changed

The show will now be on every two weeks instead of weekly. This is due to show content and things going on in my personal life.

Good Show Last Sunday

We had a good but not great show last Sunday. Henry and I shot the breeze about various Bigfoot topics and Rich from California called in to talk about some recent stuff that's been going on in his area, and I gave him an assignment concerning leaving fruit out for the creatures in his area. This Sunday we will have Eric Alman, of the Pennyslvania Bigfoot Society as the guest. Thanks for listening.

An Announcement

Hello Everyone,
I have been doing alot of thinking and reevaluating of things going on in my life concerning the show. Unless things change with the show October 19 will be the last show. Whether this will be permanent or an indefinite hiatus I have not decided yet. Several factors have led me to this point. #1. The problem with guests. In the past month I have asked 20 different people to be guests on the show, and they were either A. unavailable, or so they tell me, B. they have already been on every other show and don't want to come onto The Bigfoot Mystery to talk about what they have already talked about on those other shows, or C. they have a problem with one of my co-hosts, a very silly reason in my opinion. I do not like to rehash old material on the show and have alot of dead air time. #2 I feel that The Bigfoot Mystery has covered every topic you could think of concerning Bigfoot, and I feel we are running out of things to talk about on the show. #3 There are over a dozen Bigfoot shows alone on blogtalk radio. I counted them. I feel I am now competing with them, and I don't like to compete with anyone. Perhaps The Bigfoot Mystery has run its course. #4 the listener base. I have noticed on all the other shows that the chatroom listeners has exceeded 50, when The Bigfoot Mystery has yet to reach 45. I have done everything in my power to promote the show, and despite what the ratings on blogtalk say I should have more listeners than I do now. Whether it's content of the show, its scheduled airtime, dislike of myself or my co-hosts, or some other factor I do not know. #5 Harrassing and insulting e-mails concerning the show. Every show host probably goes through this. I have had one listener contact me several times this week insulting myself and the show, and no matter what I tell them they keep doing it. It is getting tiresome. You can educate ignorance, but stupidity is forever. That particular listener falls into the latter in that phrase. #6 losing interest in doing the show. At first when I started the show I had a lot of fun doing it. Now I feel it is something I have to do, and when it's not fun anymore to do, then it is time to look at it differently. I'm not even asked to be a guest on any of the other shows, despite having my own encounter and publishing a book about it, but I do thank HenryMay for having me on as a guest in October on his show. I have never done anything to personally hurt anyone or said anything negative about anyone. If you are one of those who thinks I have, then I deeply apologize. I also think a big thank you needs to go out to Henry May. Henry has been there for the show no matter what and has busted his butt for The Bigfoot Mystery. I do think appreciation for everything Henry has done has been overlooked and he has been treated unjustly in some corners of the Bigfoot "community". If there was something I could have done to rectify that for him I would have done it a long time ago. If I can find someway to reward Henry I will do it. Thank you so much, Henry. Some who read this may not agree with its content, and that is fine. It is how I feel. If some out there feel I'm complaining or whining, then so be it. I don't feel I am, though. If there are those out there who'd like to see The Bigfoot Mystery continue, then I needyour help, whether it's suggestions, putting me in contact with potential guests, or even being a guest yourself on the show, then I welcome them all. Thank you for listening.

Future of the show

I am not sure whether or not to continue on with the show. I seem to be running out of things to talk about. It seems like I've covered almost every subject concerning Bigfoot on the show. I feel I'm rehashing old material by talking about the same things over and over again. I have tried to get guests to be on the show who have not been on the show yet, but they're either unavailable, have already been on a few other shows and don't want to do anymore, or refuse to come on the show because they have an issue with one of my co-hosts, which is a very silly reason if you think about it. Perhaps this show has run its course. I'd like to think it hasn't. I will try to maintain some hope for this month and see what happens. Thanks for listening.

Good Show on Sunday

We had a good show on Sunday for it being a call-in show. Eric Altman called the show to plug the 2008 East Coast Bigfoot Conference and to tell me he liked my book. Steve Summar (Ole Bub) called into the show and stayed on with us and we had some interesting discussions. Henry did book reviews on The Hoopa Project and on my book.

Thoughts on the whole Georgia body debacle

I just thought I'd post some of my thoughts on the whole Georgia Bigfoot body debacle. I had such high hopes for this situation. I thought, " This is it! We've waited almost 50 years for this!" And then I saw the picture of the body in the freezer. Then I thought, "Oh, come on!" It didn't look like the Bigfoot I saw back in 1991. I was sitting on the fence with this whole thing but leaning towards it being all a hoax. After today my fears were confirmed. It is a hoax. Always has been. I don't believe there even was a body to begin with. This not only makes all the other, more legitimate researchers look like idiots in the public eye, but it may hurt Bigfoot research for a long while. We as researchers were already questionable in the public eye; now this comes out- and it's the talk of every news agency all across the country- and any credibility we had is probably gone now. I hope I'm wrong. But I will keep trudging on. Thanks for listening.

Sad News During The Show

For those of you who listened to my show live today and in the archives, during the last 15 minutes of the show I got news that my roommate had passed away, and that's why I abruptly left the show for a bit. Please send your prayers to his family. Thank you.

Great show today!

We had a terrific show today. Henry and I were joined by Janice, Bobbie Short, Bear, Steve Summar, and Randy from Canada. We talked about the whole Georgia fiasco and then we moved on to other Bigfoot related subjects. Steve said an excellent statement about the whole Georgia body thing. I wanted to not touch the subject but it was the talk of the Bigfoot community and there was really no way to avoid it. I tried not to spend too much time on it, as a few people left the chatroom because of it, but there was no real way to avoid it. Thanks for listening.

Great show today!

We had a terrific show today, with Pat Rance, Jim (Dixie Banshee), and Coonbo. Rich from California even called the show and gave us a report on the Bigfoot Discovery Days he attended, where he got to meet Bob Gimlin! My book is now finalized (I think) and I hope more people will buy it.

Excellent show on Sunday!

We had a great show on Sunday with Pat Rance, Jim (Dixie Banshee), and their friend Coonbo. They all shared some great stories. They will be returning this weekend. Thanks for listening.

Great show today!

We had a terrific show today with Pat Rance and Jim (Dixie Banshee) as the guests. They will be returning next week for a part two of our talk with them.
