“In Conjunction With…”
Ed Brown
02/16/2014
“In conjunction with” is an interesting term. But, what does it have to
do with Bigfoot? The question we, as believers hear all the time is,
why do you believe? That’s where these three little words come in.
I have never seen a Bigfoot personally; however, I do have some friends who
are very credible in my opinion who have stated that they have! Of
course, I believed they existed before my friends were even my friends,
so their stories have little effect on my opinion. But, if you take
their stories, in conjunction with, other reports, it does seem to help
solidify their claims. But, the sightings are not at all proof!
I
have never found a giant, human like footprint deep in the woods, but I
know some people who have. Of course, I believed in Sasquatch long
before finding out that some friends have found footprints in remote
places. But, if I take their claims, in conjunction with, so many others
who have made the discovery of giant footprints, it helps to
acknowledge what they have found. But, the footprints could be hoaxed
and is not proof!
I do not have a PHD in any field, but I’m
educated. So when I hear people talking about DNA, I figure I should do
some research and ask questions to better understand the conversations.
It takes a lot more time and research than anyone could do on their own
in only a few weeks to get a true grasp on all the technical mumbo jumbo
that defines the true sense of DNA research, and I haven’t gotten their
yet. But, if I take a little of what I have taught myself, in
conjunction with, what I have read about DNA… It seems to point to a
possible unknown human type of primate. But, the studies could be wrong
and is not proof!
I have never been fortunate enough to catch this
beast on film. However, I have watched some footage that I cannot come
up with a logical explanation as to what it is. Of course, that doesn’t
mean this creature is real, but if you take these blurry and shaky
videos in conjunction with the stories behind them; they can’t all be
wrong. But the videos are not proof!
I have still yet to hear the
whoops, tree knocks, rock claps, chatter, or howls from somewhere far
from view, but I have heard recordings. I have also read reports and
analysis that seem to support the claims. Of course, I believed before
hearing any evidence of what the sounds could be, however if I take the
sounds I have heard in conjunction with the reports and sound analysis I
have heard, it seems to suggest something non-mechanical and non-human
are making them. But, my opinion could be wrong and is not proof!
When we take the footprints, in conjunction with, the sightings, in
conjunction with, the sounds, in conjunction with, the DNA, in
conjunction with, the videos… To me, that is all the proof I need!

Some Thoughts On Sasquatch
Dan Lindholm on 2/23/14
I would like to share some of my thoughts and theories about Sasquatch. Anyone who’s done a little research or been around this community for awhile knows all the basics, so I’m going to skip all the established stuff. I feel that anyone almost anywhere can go out and search for Sasquatch evidence and be successful in finding it using some simple tools. One obvious thing is to look up sighting reports and start your search where there have been documented sightings or suspected Sasquatch activity. The reality of an expansive wilderness can be daunting when trying to find a starting point to look for evidence. One thing that’s been an extremely useful tool for me is Google Earth. I can see the greener, older growth forests, all the population centers for people, and rivers and streams. It’s not hard to imagine where they would travel if for instance, you find a geological pathway, from the thick forests in the mountains to the river that somehow goes around or skirts an area inhabited by humans. Keep in mind food sources and likely habitats, and that expansive wilderness shrinks to a very manageable size. I theorize that they will stay near the river during the Winter months and enjoy the wealth of Salmon and Steelhead in the river. The berry bushes will bloom in the Spring and I theorize that they will follow this food source back up to the higher elevations in the Summer.
It has been widely theorized that once scientifically “discovered" that the Sasquatch will be in jeopardy of being exterminated. I feel that there is no need for concern. Our forests are nearly inaccessible for the most part and with the addition of the National Wilderness Areas, to the already very hard to access forests, they already have sanctuary by default. There are literally thousands of square miles of inaccessible wilderness in our National Parks, the Volcanos of the Cascade Range, and the aforementioned National Wilderness areas. If there is any cause for concern, I would speculate that the forests of the Eastern U.S. would pose the greatest threat to the Sasquatch. I am not a resident of that part of the country so I’m not familiar with the accessibility of these areas.
Why are so many Sasquatch seen crossing the road? The obvious answer to this is that people are more often driving down the road than exploring the forest. I think I may have stumbled across another reason for this. Most of our Highways were once Native American trails at one time. I feel that Sasquatch probably used these trails and therefore, many highways and roads are their historical travel routes.
Stick structures and glyphs are amazing. You can find the same exact formations and glyphs from coast to coast. I feel that the X formation is an area boundary marker. It has also been described as a greeting by some. Either way, they are usually found in an area that borders human activity. I use the terms border and area loosely, as I feel that the Sasquatch do not view land as sectioned off properties as we humans do. I feel that the arches are trail markers. I have seen several examples of arches being in line and being visible from one to the next. There is also a marker that I have termed “leaner" that seem to always be found at trail intersections. Leaners are whole trees that have had all the branches snapped off, and are found leaning against a live tree. A lot of people have also theorized that tree breaks are also trail markers, and sometimes can be found pointing toward water sources. I strongly believe that what many people call shelters are actually blinds. I found one in particular that offered an extremely good vantage point where the activities of people could be safely observed. They may also be hunting blinds but my personal feeling is that they have more to do with keeping track of people who may be intruding into their territory. I feel that these structures and glyphs sometimes serve a practical purpose but for the most part are a means of communication between Sasquatch and like any kind of de-coding will take time and sharing of information to develop a better understanding.
Sharing information is a very big key to putting all the pieces together. A lot of researchers are very guarded because they don’t want their material being stolen. While I understand this, I feel it’s not only anti-productive but kind of silly. It’s hard to imagine someone stealing somebody’s picture of three sticks forming a glyph. One pic or video standing alone, and seperated from the rest is hardly convincing. If there was a way to co-op all of the findings from all of the researchers, we would be looking at an overwhelming body of evidence that could not possibly be explained away by skeptics.
It’s apparent to me that the greatest mystery of our time is soon to be a recognized species by science, but by no means will this mean that the mystery is solved. We still have almost everything to learn about these species of hominid and until they decide to step out and join our society, pictures, videos and witness reports will still be rare. It will still be a life altering experience to see one of these creatures. It will just be easier to look people in the eye and tell them what you have seen.
