Cliff Crook Gives Up On The Sasquatch Case
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.Cliff Crook, who has been investigating the Sasquatch phenomenon since he claimed his first sighting in 1956, has recently made a post to his website BigfootCentral.com that he has stepped away from the field.
After his initial 1956 sighting near Duvall, Washington, Crook became hooked on the Sasquatch mystery. Throughout the 1970s, he sold various pieces of Sasquatch-related merchandise aimed at tourists including postcards, bumperstickers, shirts, hats, and a map of alleged sightings. Also, Crook claimed he had a 7-point system for detecting faked tracks (very similar to the system Krantz had). In 1982 he opened 'Bigfoot Central' out of his house in Bothell, Washington. Bigfoot Central's goal was not to search for and prove that the Sasquatch exists, but to collect eyewitness reports and other bits of information in order to find out how they co-exist with nature.
In 1987, Crook claims he served as an official consultant for the film 'Harry and the Hendersons'. Many are dubious of this claim since his name did not appear in the credits. However, after doing some research, I've found a newspaper article about how the production company asked Crook for his assistance and his willingness to proceed.
In 1995, Crook bought 7 out of 14 pictures depicting what appears to be a Sasquatch. Several investigators, especially those from the newly formed BFRO, claimed that the photo was a fake. This led to a smoldering feud between Crook and BFRO founder Matt Moneymaker.
In 2010, Crook claimed he had proof for the existence of the Sasquatch. He claims that large humanoid footprints found on the Paluxy river in Texas alongside dinosaur tracks proved that not only creationism is correct, but that the Sasquatch existed/exists (since the fossil tracks match up with footprints he found near Mt. Rainier).
These are among the most significant of Crook's impacts on the field of 'Sasqualogy' (a term he coined in 1970).
Is that a fake photo or what?
ReplyDeleteWell there's no such thing as Bigfoot so yes this and every other photo is fake.
DeleteSo if every other one is fake the every other one Is real
DeleteHello Agent 000 Timmy.
DeleteLOL
DeleteAlso, lol at "Sasqualogy" :P
To be intellectually honest, the photo is 100% real.
DeleteHowever, the beast-like creature set in the creek is a 10-12" piece of modern art.
If this is an actual bigfoot,then Patty is not. Bigfeet can't look that different.
DeleteBeing that this is a tiny figurine that doesn't move, Patty seems to be the more plausible choice as to which one is more likely to be a real bigfoot.
None of the above comments are me, by the way. And I totally agree anon, why do all audio recordings, vids, pics and print casts and hair samples look different? In no way is the evidence consistent with a real, biological entity.
DeleteAnd other psycho anon, a LOT of people on this blog see through the BS, just like me
It's clear by the traffic a thread like this gets that it pleases the trolls. Anyway. This photo's always bothered me for the head position mostly, it's probably fake whereas Patty evidently is not so yes Sasquatches do in natural fact exist.
DeleteWell rip Cliff, he's been around forever...lots of experience. Also a good sculptor which helped lol.
ReplyDeleteThat pic always cracks me up when you think how small the figurine is. He knew the concept of scale well.
Cliff Crook was a definite crook.
ReplyDeleteBetter to b a crook than a no good thief..
DeleteCrook...Moneymaker....HHMMMM,makes one think about their names,doesn't it?
DeleteWhere might we see the other photos of this fake funky monkey.But to be serious goodbye and good luck.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that pic was cool even for a fake
ReplyDeleteAnother one leaves the community. I wish him well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with bigfoot_broskis, it is a cool picture.
Whoops, the 's' is in the wrong spot on bigfoots_broski's name. My bad, I blame it on the beer.
Delete"Even though you were a hoaxer, the community will miss you"
Delete?
Even though your paternity suit is a fake The community won't miss u anon 5:54!
DeleteSasquai its 105 and humid here. Send me one of those beers.
Delete@anony 8:08
Deletesuck my cock
Anon 8:35 your a wanker ! Plus who wants to near your c$&@! Its itty bitty !
Deleteyour mother is bigfoot's drunken whore you loser scum prick!!! eat me!!!
DeleteAwe its the crude blogger again.
DeleteThis was years ago, but I heard the grass blades were maybe 1-2". So if you extrapolate, the thing is tiny. Photo is an excellent hoax b/c nothing for comparison.
ReplyDeleteNo frame of reference Donny!
Yeah, and look how big that duck weed is LOL.
DeleteLooks like a homemade model.
Looks like something Dogman left on my front yard.
DeleteTheres rumors among the community that he will now be researching the dogman. Great to have you on board.
ReplyDeleteJesus! No
DeleteThe dogman is bigfoots bitch!!!!arf arf. Rrrrrrrr.
DeleteThere have been sightings of dogman and Bigfoot interbreeding but these are still to be confirmed by the DNA study. Specific genetic markers are being examined that will tell us definitively whether these sightings can be confirmed. The preliminary results are beautiful.
DeleteI'm Wooly Booger and I approve this message.
DeleteA fun post from jref for the belIevers to have a lIttle thInk about...
ReplyDelete"For Bigfoot to exist, it has to have instincts and capabilities beyond those demonstrated by any other animal, including humans. How else could such a large creature consistently avoid detection and documentation? Bigfoot's greatest evolutionary advantage is being able to instantly adapt to evade whatever new technology is thrown at it. How does Bigfoot manage not to be seen by infrared cameras? It just knows, that's why. The latest gamecam technology? Bigfoot's on to it. Why do you think Bigfoot scat is inevitably similar to bear scat? It's because Bigfoot knows you're looking for his poop and tailors his diet and internal flora to be indistinguishable from other large forest mammals.And it should come as no surprise that Bigfoot DNA is the same as human DNA. Bigfoot is aware of DNA technology, so he has mutated his own DNA to match that of a human. It's foolish to even try. We are Wile E. Coyote, Bigfoot is the Road Runner."
Except the biggest black bear poop is only 2 inches in diameter Bigfoot poop can be as big as a pop can. Can't alter his colon idiot. Again someone making comments without doing proper research! Avoid detection? WTF! Thousand of reports and footprints ( and that's only the ones reported!) Did you just start looking into the subject today anon 6:33? Do some homework!
DeleteThat was good,dont agree with you but I will give credit it was good
DeleteWhich asshole closer bleever wrote that ?
DeleteCloser? Bleever who knows what he is talking about vs a couch patato patsy!
DeletePoop as big as a pop can ? Hell that ain't even close to a Tennessee three-flusher you get from eating at the Texas-Wisconsin Border Cafe. (Richmond Virginia)Try mixing sauerkraut and chili.
DeletePeople write stuff like that then simpletons like the JREF footers think it's a big revelation.
DeleteThe evidence for Bigfoot stinks...Dehrrr!..lol
My brother had a kegger once and this giant blond amazon girl went to the bathroom. She came out and said something was wrong with the toilet. When they went in there they saw a turd so big around it would not go down the toilet. They had to break it up with a fireplace poker and flush it a few times. So a pop can aint nuthun big.
DeleteShe's now your wife ?
DeleteBut he breaks up her turds with his bare hands.
Deleteshe likes anal i bet
DeleteDoes she roam the back country?
DeleteWhat the Randi worshippers don't get is that Bigfoot's no ape they're primal people, hence the ease they stay alert and at our distance. Plus authorities surely must know despite saying differently, this alliance has been quite successful up until now but its scheming time's fast running out though.
Deleteplease stay on topic, save it for BFF
ReplyDeleteYou're not the boss of us douche.
DeleteWe are talking about Bigfoot. What topic would do u want to discuss?
DeleteHa ha! sorry typing to fast . Which topic?
DeleteLooks like something JREF footer GT/CS -Fuzzy Gremlin would write. One of only 3 simpletons who bleeve the P/G suit has been found.
DeleteEver see that show Ice loves Coco? I wonder if the Iceman gets any of that taterhole?
DeleteAny of that T a t e r H o l e ?
DeleteSo experts who examined The Patterson film are simpletons? Expert and simpleton are not even close! Makes you sound even more stupid when you state it anon 7:11!
DeleteGreat last name - Crook.
ReplyDeleteHe was a go-to guy for Seattle media thru the 80's and even 90s. Like Paulsen said, tried to come back in 2010 but I never really heard much about it. Something about tying creationism w/ dinosaur prints in Texas?
Too much for my pea brain.
I think he was arguing creationism because of bigfoot and dinosaur prints.
Deleteok, now it makes sense
DeleteWow, the Bigfoot researchers are dropping like flies. Who's next?
ReplyDeleteI diddnt know Goldberg was on here
Deleterube?
DeleteIf it weren't for the blades of grass in the pic above, footers would be putting it right up there with the PGF as hard evidence. The Bigfoot myth is almost dead, but I'll be releasing details on a new cryptid soon. You guys are going to love it, it will be much cooler and scarier than Bigfoot.
ReplyDeletecant wait
DeleteYour mom ?
DeleteAnon 7:29 are u brain dead . It's going stronger and getting bigger! The Cryptid your talking about is your picture freak!
DeleteAs with all these pictures, why did no one go back to the exact same spot and take a reference photo for comparison. Then you also have the angles and distances etc etc. Easy then to show if this is a fake or not. Doh! This annoys the hell out of me. Talk about a wasted opportunity.
ReplyDeleteno need to its as phony as hell but very good art
DeletePhoto's been hashed and rehashed for 15+ years. Where ya been brah?
DeleteI elect you to search for possibilities.
Just because they posted this funny artwork why do the skeptics think it's a fake picture?
ReplyDeleteSkeptics it's not real ! We know y wanted to tell us it's fake but...!
Deletei hope you are not referring to me because i am not skeptic at all.if you were not referring to me sorry to interrupt .carry on
DeleteNot u gnrfan! Your totally cool!
Deleteyes its the bitch-queer paranoid psychos that post under "anonymous" that you want to have thinking "hey you are cool". just sayin
Delete@ anon 10:19
DeleteAre you lashing out because nobody ever referred to you as "cool" in your entire life ?
Figurine can prob be had at an upcoming auction - I'm sure the guys got a treasure trove of cool stuff in the old basement in Bothell.
ReplyDeleteAmerican Pickers meets BF Hunters - who's with me?
For this recipe you will need:
ReplyDelete1 head of cabbage
2 cups of dill
1/4 cup of fresh savory
2 lbs ground chuck
1 lb ground pork
1 cup rice
2 large bags of sauerkraut
2 cups of stock
6 cloves of garlic
1 onion sliced thinly
1 pig’s feet
Slices of bacon
This has to be one of the worst bigfoot hoaxes. This bigfoot is so fake. It's a wonder that anyone was fooled by this.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that?
DeleteBecause it looks as fake as a $3 bill.
DeleteBecause it obviously looks so damn fake. I knew it was a fake many many years ago when it first hit the scene. It was practically instantly noticed (by me) that this was a small figurine. The grass blades were a dead give-away. I honestly feel sorry for idiots who just weren't born with the ability to figure stuff like this out almost immediately.
DeleteAnon at 6:45:00 AM above is spot on.
DeleteI can just picture a sasquatch using that huge foot to kick Crook in the rear and send him sailing off into the distance.
ReplyDeleteLOL. See ya! Good-bye hoaxer!
DeleteThe grass that bigfoot is standing next to is called Reed Canary Grass which grows 7' tall. Cliff Crook has been lied about by many, especially MM. Cliff also ran his museum along the Columbia River for years. His goal had nothing to do with selling tourist trinkets. CC, like other long timers, probably knows more about bigfoot then everyone here. Maybe including myself.
ReplyDeletebullshit!
DeleteLmao, dude, give it up. This shit is as fake as Patty's boobs.
DeleteGive it up, Rodriguez. Stop trying to validate this hoaxed photo.
DeleteWho gives a damn if this guy quit? He's a known hoaxer. Him quitting is a good thing. One less mentally ill person in the field.
ReplyDelete?
DeleteI've probably seen more Bigfoot than anyone in the world but it never gets old seeing that eyeshine in the dark and smelling that foul stench as a Sasquatch is hiding nearby thinking I am not aware of its presence. This has nothing to do with this thread I know but I just want the people to know the thrill of being close to a Bigfoot is the same the 100th time as it is the first time. Study the craft and seek the truth. Clear your thoughts in the woods and think like a Bigfoot. If you consistently do this you WILL find what you are looking for. Do not show fear because these beasts sense it and WILL attack in packs. Go into the woods my pupils with a strong mind and pure soul and Bigfoot will find YOU.
ReplyDeleteYour getting STALE and OLD!!
DeleteReel em in in! Hook line and sinker! Footers can't resist.
DeleteStale and old is the same old BS that we keep hearing everyday from the same old stale and old so called reaearchers out there. The master has arrived as foretold by prophecy and the naysayers shall perish in his wisdom and mastery of the craft. Long Live The Whisperer.
DeleteI don't know about his picture or him, but I am 52 years old, and I have never told anyone this before but when I was about 11 years old I was traveling with my grand parents to a town in Texas called avenger, after getting their about 7 pm my dad and uncle wanted to go night fishing,we went to the lke called lake of the pines, my dad and uncle was in the small flat bottom boat and I was fishing from the bank. By about 10 we had caught a few fish, well they were way out in the boat, I was on the bank fishing under some huge power lines, well standing there. I could hear like a vibrating sound from the lines, I was looking up and suddenly I herd I loud growl from the trees, when I looked with my flashlight what I saw I have never forgot,or have never told anyone but my few family, I saw a hairy man creature my guess 7 foot tall 450 lbs my guess staring at my he looked for about 20 seconds and walked into the woods, I know what I saw I still dream about it from time to time, I don't want money or fame just to tell you what I was as a young boy in Texas one winter night, so if you don't believe it's ok but I know what I saw and it still haunts me, I am not hiding anything if you want more details you can email , Thank you. wabbott11@aol.com
ReplyDeleteThe model was seen in someone's backyard.
ReplyDeleteThe Paluxy prints are all dinosaurs, save for the ones modeled by a latter day con man.
We should mourn his passing... Why??? He is just another hypester, and has been irrelevant for two decades.
He is not dead, he just gave up on Sasquatch research.
Deletetimmy, you truly are a loser, you must be abused every day.
ReplyDeleteYou spend your time on blogs trying to
disprove Bigfoot and belittling anyone that believes. I met some zeros in my life, but you are the ultimate goose egg. Get a life, no one cares about your moronic comments and your asinine theories. you need a new hobby, why don't you try checkers or collecting bugs, their both perfect matches for your intellectual capacity.
Word.
DeleteLol the puluxy prints. The same ones that the young earth creationist retards proclaim as the ultimate proof the earth is 6000 years old or some complete bullshit.
ReplyDeleteSo many fucking lunatics involved with bigfooting it's a joke.
its really easy to find bigfoot, it takes hi tech equipment, professional trackers & hunters, lots of time, good strategy, knowledge & lots of money.........
ReplyDeleteBOOM! Bigfoot!
Not really, some of the best footage we have is by pure chance but it could become even easier now with the much better hi-tech equipment of late.
DeleteThanks for sharing your info. I truly appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your further post thank you once again.
ReplyDeleteMy site: how to get lot of followers on instagram
i think this photo could be the real deal!!
ReplyDeletei have this same picture. the claim was it was taken in 1995 by a forest ranger in a creek near mt rainer in washington, it gave no notice of the rangers name.
