Photo of the day: Trollstigen, Norway (Troll's Footpath)

Trollstigen is one of the most spectacular roads in Norway, and also one of the most popular places to visit for tourists. It is an insanely twisty piece of road going up a mountain. "Trollstigen" means "the troll's footpath" or the local translation, "troll's ladder".

It is the only place in Norway where you can find an official road sign with a troll on it. At the parking area before you start going upwards you can also see a road sign that reads: "Warning! Trolls!"

      Recently wathed the movie "Trollhunter" from 2010--it was great. Didn't have subtitles though. I must say I was blown away by the sheer natural beauty of your country.

      That was a great movie, you can see it with subtitles on Netflicks. Trolls had rabies; powerlines were troll fences; the whole movie was awesome; once they dub it in English it will be a classic akin to Monty Python.

    I thought this was a Bigfoot blog. I'm getting sick of all these stupid posts that have nothing to do with Sasquatch.

      Lighten up Nancy. Bigfoot doesn't exactly require 24hr CNN or Fox News coverage. Since virtually every article - Bigfoot or not - is torn apart by someone here, why not enjoy the lighter fare Shawn shares. Or exercise free will and y'know, don't actually read stuff you don't like. :P

      Yes,The Knower and I are Homosexual.;)
      He was born out of a tryst with a female Bigfoot.
      Taterpalooza will go on as planned.
      The Knower will be well known in the Taterholing community.
      The first 101 men is just fodder for The Knower.
      Long Dong Silver is the last one to tap that taterhole and will be the true test.

    What is Bigfoot if not the contemporary manifestation of trolls, ogres, wildmen, or the boogieman himself? Look back in our history, even further back than those cool old 19th Century newspaper accounts and American Indian legends, and you'll still see old Sookum there... crouching in cold caves, under stone bridges, watching our ancestors toil from from just beyond the treeline, leering in their childrens' bedroom windows at night. When we emerged from the mists of prehistory Bigfoot was with us already. By any other name he has ever dogged our footsteps and troubled our dreams, and he always will.

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

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.
