Two weeks ago, on February 12th, a man named Toby and his friend, who is a hunter, discovered Bigfoot tracks near a tree line south of Eugene, Oregon. According to estimates by Thom Powell, Guy Edwards (BigfootLunchClub.com), and Finding Bigfoot co-host Cliff Barackman, the tracks consists of over 120 prints.
South of Eugene, over 120 footprint tracks were found in a clay-mixed substrate that was a perfect material to capture and record footprints. We believe the tracks were made as recently as Saturday February 11th, although the first few prints were not discovered until Sunday the 12th.
The team made two set of measurements recording - step length and stride length:
Step length is the distance between the point of initial contact of one foot and the point of initial contact of the opposite foot. In normal gait, right and left step lengths are similar.
Stride length is the distance between successive points of initial contact of the same foot. Right and left stride lengths are normally equal.
Below is a rough illustrated diagram of the the general path and the measurements we took. Knowing how difficult it is to get exact measurements, I added a third column titled Calculated Stride Length to compare against the Measured Stride Lengths. The numbers in the calculated column are based on the recorded step length. the numbers I am interested in are the average and means.
The mean is the usual average, so in Series A: Step Length average is 47.29:
(45 + 48 + 46 + 45 + 46 + 54+ 47) ÷7 = 47.29
The median is the middle value, so I'll have to rewrite the list in order so in Series A: Step Length median is 46:
45, 45, 46, 46, 47, 48, 54
As you can see in the two sets, Series A and Series B, there average numbers and the means for the step and stride are relatively close.

STOP THE PRESSES!!
ReplyDeleteMATT MONEYMAKER NEEDS TO SEE THESE NOW!
Moneymaker already got a look at photos of all these London OR tracks long before this blog article went up about them.
DeleteMM is hanging with Cliff B. in a squatch area down in Florida at the moment. Cliff has all the photos on his phone.
MM tweeted last night about the tracks. Apparently he thinks they are legit too.
Is Sasquatch flat footed ? There doesn't appear to be any difference in depression depth toe to heel. Obviously, one picture doesn't mean much, but judging by the uniform distribution of pressure and the perfect toes, I would have a hard time thinking this wasn't a wooden track and hoax.
ReplyDeleteVery good point. Doesn't seem to have a push off, and the edges of it are so neatly defined. I'm not sure, but I'd want to know a lot more about the details of how they were found, who saw them, did anyone film them as they looked them over? I hate when evidence drops out of the sky with no frame of reference or context.
DeleteYou and your skepticism. I'm sick of it.
DeleteYou and your gullibility. I'm sick of it.
DeleteYes.
DeleteChuck
The yes was to Anon at 3 44.
DeleteChuck
@Autummforest.....thats the story of bigfoot, never a shred of credible evidence,no DNA, no legite pics all blury, fake vast prints,fake vids, 50 yrs. Of all hoax evidence and not a piece of solif evidence and Monkeychaser its just a clown in its mediocre stupid lame ass show, im sick of that!
DeleteI rarley comment here but Shawn you have offended me with using my lords name in vain. I know I'm not your only reader who feels this way. There was so many other names you could have used.
ReplyDeleteThere. I just changed it to Matt Moneymaker.
DeleteThis is a joke, right?
DeleteYou have no right demanding that others curb their speech so as not to offend YOUR god.
DeletePious douchebag.
DeleteDude seriously God Damn Christian's lol. I'm a Christian a.d could freaking care less! Don't censor the man.
DeleteHonestly, if all prints are like these they are fake or he is flat footed like the other poster said.

I agree: my feelings have been hurt since I read what Shawn said about my lord & savior.
DeleteI'm offended you didn't spell Lord's in capital letter as is due His respect.
DeleteKind of reminds me of a imprint of one of those Vibram five toed walking shoes. JMO.
DeleteMy atheism grows stronger by the day.
Deletethat makez2 of us, read my handle. That makes more sense
DeleteSometime I print out pictures of Autumnforest, laminate them then do stuff.
DeleteShawn, thank you for replacing the Jesus name with Matt Moneymaker, because Matt Moneymaker is MY lord and savior.
DeleteForget the Jesus nonsense. Jesus never existed. He was a literary creation and nothing more.
Life will be easier for you when you accept Matt Moneymaker as your lord and savior, and you learn to submit to him.
Someday you will beg for his forgiveness. It may be denied.
Irony becomes you!
DeleteThank you Shawn
ReplyDeleteI'm with anonymous at 3:44. The impression is almost flawless. Aside from the even depth of the imprint, I noticed the inside and outside curvature of the foot looks uniform to one another.
ReplyDeleteIs there such a thing as a perfect foot?
I also agree that more prints should be shown, as well as a more detailed back story.
I'm not saying hoax, I'm just being cautious.
there's a link that gives more of a story. click on it. and according to the story there's a lot more prints. I agree however, if there's 120 or so prints I'd like to see a few more. What's crazy to me is I live in the Eugene area
DeleteThanks, I blew right by the link. I'm interested in finding out more about this.
DeleteThanks for the spaces!:)
DeleteI find myself in an agreeable mood tonight;)
DeleteThought I would let you know SN that in Cliff Barackman's interview tonight he has seen these tracks and said they are the most significant find in many years. He personally has casted 72 tracks and other Bigfootologist are doing the same and he is bringing Dr. Meldrum in. This is actually in the London, Oregon area. There are two sets of tracks at 17 and 14 inches. Cliff stated he is close to 100% certain they are Sasquatch as every track is a little different due to the flexibility of the toes especially the pinky toe, and of course the stride length is just way to out there at between 42 to 53 inches ruling of any trickery. He could not be more excited. They are going to start filming season three next week and therefore he will not be able to analyse to any degree until filming stops in June.
DeleteChuck
why does every foot print look like a potential bigfoot has to rub his foot back and forth 10 times before putting it onto bare earth.
ReplyDeleteIs he/she allergic to moss. Do acorns hurt his/her uncalloused feet..Do leaves make him itch?
Honest to god it is the same thing with every"so called footprint"
They should show more prints from this track. If you show prints that look perfect then people will say it's a hoax. you need to show some imperfect prints to be believable.
ReplyDeleteOh and someone should email lord bear claw tell him he was dead wrong about "no long distance BF tracks"! lol
Chad
Also note that there was .2 inches of rain on the 12th, and it had rained significantly on the 10th. There was limited rain on the 11th. The edges of the track are very sharp and distinct, so it would be necessary to determine when the picture was taken in relationship to the rain. If it was after or during the rain, the edges of the track would not be so distinct. They need to release additional photos. Lastly, with 120 tracks and a muddy/clayey substrate, you would have a strong possibility of hair samples. There needs to be more info released.
ReplyDeleteIf got a feeling there will be a lot more to come out soon, especially since several people are getting involved in this according to Cliff Barackman in an interview tonight. He personally casted 72 tracks.
DeleteChuck
Ok that's a lot of work and pretty Damn impressive that he did that.
DeleteBigfoots Broski
You guys are ridiculous, jumping to retarded conclusion by the picture of one freaking track. Get a life.
ReplyDeleteActually only half a track. You can't tell if it's flat footed, only half is lit up.
ReplyDeleteGo listen to the Cliff Barackman interview last night, and see what he has to say. This is a tremendous find and the picture on this site has only scratched the surface.
DeleteChuck
Shawn, please start deleting posts that I don't agree with. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI bet this is MM. Delete this. You're a MORON!
DeleteHas anyone read The Locals? I just read it and it says something about Bigfoot being flat-footed. I don't remember the author and I just returned it to the library, or I would check
ReplyDeleteBigfoot tracks have consistently shown to be flat-footed. Recent analysis of the "Hobbit" bones found on Flores indicate relatively long, very flat feet. In fact the arched foot is truly a hallmark of modern humans- Homo Erectus at the earliest- although there is some evidence of minor arching in possible juvenile Bigfoot tracks. So flat tracks are expected.
ReplyDeleteLogically, since no one has yet to capture a Bigfoot dead or alive or come forward with any undisputable, credible evidence that they even exist, how would anyone know whether they are flat-footed or not?? Based on the hoax prints that have been collected? Seriously??? These are the most ridiculous, baseless comments I have ever read.
DeleteYes, people who POO-POO this over the flat foot issue are just simply ignorant, MOST if not all casts that have ever been made of big foot are FLAT. DUH! in fact, wtf are you people hanging out on this website always ready to ad your ignorance and to poo poo EVERYTHING. Go away and don't come back until you've researched this subject, please. Thank you.

Matt Moneymaker and the entire show is an embarrasing joke! Matt is a lispy girly b$%^ch who I hope falls flat on his doughnut filled fat face! The only thing he's an expert at is being a complete and total idiot who beats on trees and makes stupid whistling sounds and claims that everything 'is a squatch'. What an idiot. He's already admitted that it's all a hoax (in not so many words). I don't watch the show and encourage everyone else to boycott his joke of a show. The ONLY reason this dumb a$$ show has ratings at all is because of how unbelievably ridiculous it is and how Matt portays himself very well as THE BIGGEST IDIOT ON TV.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree.
Deletetwas_brillig must be Bobo's brother. Go find a Big Foot moron.
ReplyDeleteHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hey Anonymous Mar 10, 2012 09:26 AM - That is hilarious and so true. Glad others recognize the silliness and hoaxes on this ridiculous show. I won't give them the satisfaction of ever watching their goofy show. I refuse to help the ratings.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this link. MM is a total retard!
