Watch 3.5 Minutes of Dr. Grover Krantz "Greatest Hits" [Bigfoot Researcher]

By -

Editor’s Note: Jonathan Poulsen has been researching the Sasquatch since 2008, but really involved himself heavily in 2011. He has since devoted his life to the near impossible challenge of verifying the existence of the Sasquatch. Shawn refers to him as the Bigfoot encyclopedia.

This video is a compilation of various documentary film clips featuring the late Dr. Grover S. Krantz. Krantz was born on November 5th 1931 in Salt Lake City as a Mormon, but later scrapped his religious views in order to focus on his scientific thinking. He always had an interest in the Sasquatch, but he only really started taking it seriously after examining a pair of footprints found in the snow near Bossburg, Washington in 1970.

He was an avid supporter of the 'No-kill' movement that was popular among researchers in the early 1970s (later however, with researchers such as Robert W. Morgan and Peter Byrne, this all changed). Krantz died in 2002 after spending 30 years as an anthropology professor at Washington State University.

Watch this short video compilation of the late Dr. Grover S. Krantz:

    He went from a possible population of 200 to 2,000 in the Pacific North West. Interesting.

    There was an "In Search of ..." episode in the late 70's where he seemed pro-kill. I think he said it did not matter if you kill the last one, since it would become extinct anyway. Maybe I remember it wrong, or he changed his mind. I'm going to watch it again after work, if its still floating around the web.

      You're welcome, I think the video above must be parts spiced together of the initial"In Search" interview you were referring to.It's awfully choppy.

    I had the pleasure of receiving replies to two emails I sent before he passed. I had serious doubts about two pieces of evidence, and Krantz was kind enough to take the time to explain his reasoning. I respect the man for taking the time to respond and address my concerns even though I was just an interested stranger to him. A class act.

      What were the two pieces of evidence that you had your doubts about?

    I inquired about the circumstances of some of Paul Freeman's dermal ridge findings featured in "Big Footprints". Also, we discussed some photographs (several exceptionally clear stills) allegedly taken by a ranger, that Krantz had initially found promising. Again, he was gracious, and his responses were thoughtful. I have had the pleasure of enjoying the same experience with Dr.Meldrum. These men did not have to take the time to respond, and i appreciated their time and effort very much.

      I think he may be talking about the Wild Creek photographs taken by an anonymous off-duty forest ranger in Snoqualmie, Washington in July 1995. The ranger supposedly took a total of 14 photos of a 7 to 10 ft. tall Sasquatch, 7 of which were purchased by Bigfoot Central founder Cliff Crook (who most regard as a hoaxer). Krantz didn't really publicly endorse their authenticity, but he said something along the line of "I can't make any definite conclusions, but they sure look good". Something that is quite apparent to me is that the creature in the Wild Creek photos strongly resembles William Munns' life-sized replica of Gigantopithecus blacki.

    I was the one who made this video from various Bigfoot documentaries I've collected over the years.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

BREAKING: Finding Bigfoot Production Company Seeks Filming Permit In Virginia

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
