Is Ketchum Assuming Too Much?
An anonymous commenter left the following message claiming to have access to Dr. Melba Ketchum's Bigfoot DNA paper. The commenter raises some interesting points about Ketchum's paper. Is Dr. Ketchum only presenting evidence that seems to back up her theory that Bigfoots are a hybrid species? Is it possible that her personal beliefs have interfered with her study? This person seems to think so:
Having access to the papers on this DNA study, I will say this. Melba has assumed a lot, putting her personal beliefs over facts does not earn her merits in the science world. She has demonstrated that she is not neutral and it has flawed her findings. Rejection will happen unless she rewrites the whole thing and leaves out all the nonfactual belief statements. I do believe her career might be over in the DNA field, especially after hearing her talk about the sexual encounters with an invisible Sasquatch. - Anonymous

DeleteYou've been punked.
ReplyDeleteShawn, why in the world would you publish a comment by Anonymous as though it is fact??? Because it is anti-Ketchum?? This site is so biased it is utterly ridiculous!!
DeleteIt didn't seem anti-Ketchum, it seemed like someone who knows what he/she is talking about. Sounds like you are a pro-Ketchum and do not care if it is accurate or not.
DeleteMitchell Wilson. Squatchers Lounge.
Unlike Dr. Ketchum and geniuses like myself, NONE of the trolling freaks frequenting these quarters know diddly shit about this subject.
DeleteIt's too bad, really. If she had only kept her mouth shut, mabey things would have turned out in her favor.
ReplyDeleteBut, then again, there has been no publicized rejection of her paper. Yet...
I'm not a "true" believer. I would like to be, but it looks like there won't be any substantial proof coming anytime soon.
Thanks,
Bobby
The paper has to be published before it can be rejected.
DeleteReally? I did not know that. I honestly thought it was the other way around.
DeleteBut, thanks for the education!
Bobby
You're an idiot, Bubba. It's very telling how this blog wastes our time with anon source nonsense like this, they know very well she's never said any of that sexual encounter stuff so why do they still bring some anon troll's junk? B E C A U S E T H E Y H A V E A N A G E N D A. It's called tearing Dr. Ketchum down, if you thought this site's in the least bit seriously interested in finding bigfoot you've got another thing coming they have another sucker in you.
Delete@ 8:12, the only way the rejection would be publicly known would be if someone from Melba's camp announced it. I can't think of any journal that sends out a release announcing they rejected an article. The only exceptions would be if they actually published the article, then later had to retract it, e.g. the Lancet and the vaccine-autism link hoax.
Delete@ 10:02:00 PSTACtually the sexual comments did come from Ketchum. She claimed she blacked out in her yard, and woke up with a sore vagina. She claimed she may have been assaulted by a bigfoot.
DeleteShe also made a lot of other weird claims regarding a mythical creature. Shes a loon. None of the comments here effect her craziness.
No.... It came from R.Lindsay.
DeleteGet your facts straight,jackass!
Actually it came from Melba herself, during a phone interview.
DeleteI don't believe it
DeleteSo now she gives phone sex too? Gimme a break your trolling campaings are too much, luckily most people are intelligent enough to only laugh at your tripe.
DeleteSpelling is out though
DeleteKetchum is looney. She is doing no favors for the "bigfooters". Anyone who believes this Ketchum crap is going to end up with poo on their face.
ReplyDeleteSeemingly, bigfooters eat this shit up. Anything that supports the dream. How about this...
WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU IDIOTS. THERE IS NO FUCKING BIGFOOT. Anyone that claims they saw one is full of shit and a huge liar.
THAT = TRUTH
Ok. So, all the Game Wardens, Policemen, Firemen, and others with everything to lose is a liar? You may be right, I'm only saying its kind of hard to believe so many professionals would lie.
DeleteI'm going to keep an open mind, at least for now.
Thanks,

Deletesorry ^ 8:19 is a DOUCHEBAG : )
DeleteBoy, that's very adult of you, Anon-8:41.
DeleteI feel sorry for you.
Gotcha, 8:19.
DeleteI retract my statement.
Bobby
Lets not forget a former president, clergy,early explorers,school teachers,military brass,native elders etc etc the list goes on...8:19 is just a taterhater who hopes to illicit some type of negative response : / dont buy into it hes the type of cowardly taterbater who wouldent dare say boo to anyone in the real world But here on this forum he exacts his revenge on every jock that snarled at him,on every girl who ever laughed at him,not understanding that all those things happened to him because hes a looser : ) and really has no bearing on whether or not the squatch exists : )so sad fucking looser....
Delete@ 8:40:00
DeleteYes, people from all backgrounds lie. Georgia freezer? Nuff said.
@ 8:53:00
DeleteBigfooters will make up all kinds of excuses as to why they cannot substantiate their claims. Mostly, pretending to be some type of victim card. It is all lies = bigfoot.
Both 8:53 and 8:55 have valid arguments.
DeleteStill, I am keeping an open mind.
Never know, right?
Thanks,
Bobby
I'd love to put all people on this blog in a room together and see what happens. I guarantee 99% wouldn't say shit.

Anon 8:19 is an idiot! I What is your purpose being on here? Are you a preacher trying to convert the flock? Not going to happen. Keep beating your head against the wall MORON!!! What other sites ate u trying to change people's minds on? I like Anon 8:40 and 8:53! Oh that burned anon 8:19! Ha ha .
DeleteHell! If we could put all these people together in a room we could put the WWF out of business! Start a whole new industry! ! In this corner weighing in at 200 pounds The Speculator! And in this corner wring in at 175 The Believer! I'm all for it!
Delete@ 9:25:00 Is another footer in denial. You can keep believing the lies if you choose. No one is trying to "convert you".
DeleteSome of us just like to stick with the truth, and expose the bullshit. If you enjoy the bullshit, have at it. Don't expect your opinion to sway anyone either.
Lies will always be lies. Doesnt matter if its about bigfoot, or ghosts, or a fucking leprechaun. It's still all bullshit.
@ 9:25:00
DeleteIs another troll that cant stand it when people tell the truth about bigfoot.
Come on guys...
DeleteCan't we have valid, adult arguments without the name calling? I know you are both intelligent, knowledgeable people. The profanity just isn't necessary, mabey step back for a minute and gather your thoughts before you type.
I know. I'm going to get slack for this. Just trying to start an adult conversation movement on this blog.
So, go ahead. Let me have it...
Thanks,
Bobby
Ok Bobby point taken : @ )
DeleteWhenever his JREF love slaves notice old Jimmy can't get an erection no matter how hard they try, they come here for their higher learning.
DeleteWhat about the giant six foot tall chimps that they discovered in Africa a few years ago. They are big. You can't miss them, yet modern science mised them for how long? The locals knew about them regardless what "science" said
DeleteJust sayin
Mid Michigan calling
I heard the Jrefers are running low on there "Golden Vibrating Butt Plugs of Skepticism".
DeleteIt seems the one known as 'Stank Ape' has cornered the market on them and drove the price up. Their Queen Randi has been asked to step in and give in to 'Stank Apes' demand of being "The Chosen One" to change out said butt plug once a month and to be the "Official Licker of Mud Helmet" after their drunken orgies every week.
Seems that 'Stank Ape' has licked his fellow butt pluggers once again right in the ol' taterhole.
You know Bobby what gauls me is that people who really have no interest in Bigfoot seek out these sights for the soul express purpose of hate bashing on footers : / I admit that I over react and some times it takes a straight up person like yourself call things as they are : ) Ile heed your advice and try and keep it in check as for 8:19 and all the others bro what can I say there's got to be something else out there for you other than hating on other peoples beliefs....thanx again Bobby :@ )
DeleteOh! And just as a foot note IDE like to add that I appreciate that you and others are non believers but what makes you different from some of the trolls on this sight is that it would appear that you may at least be willing to enter into a civil conversation on the subject....
DeleteLeon?^
DeleteShill out man. Relax. Don't be so thinned skin. Fuck them assholes
DeleteThe comments about the JREF at hilarious. Keep on hating the people that expose the truth. If you'd rather keep having shit smeared on your face each time a hoax blows up, good for you. The JREF'rs as you call them are a good bunch of folks that actually seek truth, and out the frauds. Unless you're one of the frauds, you have no reason to complain.
DeleteDont like that the lies of bigfoot are being explosed? Close your little eyes and ears and shout at the top of your lung until it disappears. (which will be never!) cons and liars will always exploit bigfoot.
Nothing more will ever come from any bigfoot claims. Only liars and cons run this game. Sorry if you dislike that.
A Jrefer whose butt plug has failed him.^
DeleteThat's why anon anon 8:19 told us to Wake Up Idiots that Bigfoot is not real ? I call that trying to convert! Anon 9:34! Morons telling me to wake up to his thinking is stupid and he is " trying to convert me to his belief" Man your a moron!
Deleteanon anon? sounds like R2D2 with a lisp.
Delete@ 11:14:00
DeleteIf you feel someone telling you the truth is "trying to convert you" then maybe you are part of a cult.
If you cant handle the truth, then perhaps you need to self analyze. Bigfoot is a myth. It will never be more than that. No amount of hemming and hawing will change it!
Neither will a looney woman named Ketchum.
@12:33, you don't spread the truth, you spread hate. Congratulations on being the lowest form of human being. You are telling "your" truth, as conjured up by your limited conceptual database and vernacular inventory. Your "truth" is just a thought, let it pass. Don't forget to breath.
DeleteYeah fuck off Jizz back to the funny farm.
DeleteI'm starting to wonder that almost all of the sceptic comments on this blog are actually one person who keeps saying Looney Toons. Even comments not saying Looney toons eventually Have it in the responses to his original post! I believe my theory is right. Take a look at a poll Shawn takes once in awhile! Maybe 200 responses. No look at Fruity Toons and all his aliases and comments back to himself pretending and viola! One major troll!
DeleteYou "bleevers" are fucking nuts. I wonder if you spout this bullshit to people in your real lives. (oh wait, thats too real)
DeleteKeep living in your bigfoot fantasy. It'll be a constant disappointment in your life. You'll also look like a raving fool to any sane people. Have fun with that. I'll stick with the truth.... thanks.
Bye creepy have fun in Denialland.
DeleteYeah, but what about the jumpin' yeti!! (and the lion)
ReplyDeleteAs trustworthy an Anon comment as the writer's of this blog! Go Bigfooters!
ReplyDeleteIn response to the original question posted, yes.
ReplyDeleteVeeeeeery interesting but, ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that these comments are always truthful.
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting point and something that I experienced in both college and graduate school. We're taught not to get impassioned with our research and theories (very difficult not to do) and to allow other researcher the opportunity to verify our results. Given that her paper has not come out its pure speculation as to it's content at this point. I am sure when it does her theories, methodology and conclusions will be tested by others who are doing DNA studies. That's really the only way to resolve any issues surrounding her work. Until then all we can do us wait.
ReplyDeleteWell reasoned and well thought out response, Anon. 9:23. I really, really wish that we could have intelligent, civil dialog on this site.
DeleteOk,what shall we discuss,you a Rush fan?
DeleteLeave out the sexual encounters with the invisible saquatch?Look im no scientist but if you include that statement in a major DNA paper Im reading it!Plus she should jazz it up a bit make the bigfoot a pizza delivery boy and when sees him at the door...baaa chikka baawaa...
ReplyDeleteMelba..My you have huge bulge petruding through your costume is it chewing tobacco or r u just glad to see me
DeleteBigfoot..No its a hernia did u not see the Patterson film?DUH
?
DeleteNo he won't be a pizza delivery boy till the second season of his sitcom
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked out this sitei n almost a month because work has been so busy. But seriously. What the fuck is going on here? I feel like all the die hard bleevers have totally lost it. I want bigfoot to be real. But I am not willing to suspend my critical thinking skills because I want bigfoot to be true.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Melba's former publicist goes off and supposedly "visits" a dying a sasquatch? WTF? Melba talks about interacting with a "playful family of five bigfoots" and their "unusual stick structures?" Does this sound like an objective scientist to you? She should have stuck to the DNA analysis and not made any bizarre statements about seeing and playing with sasquatches. What are mainstream scientists supposed to think of her behavior?
Then we have the whole sasquatch blueberry bagel diet nonsense, Melba's descriptions of sasquatch "mind-rape" and "mindspeak" and lets not even get into the bizarre theories regarding the angel DNA/nephilim connection of sasquatch.
I had high hopes when this study was first announced. However, the longer this has dragged out, the more and more I have begun to view this freak show as the circus it is. Sasquatch being a "human hybrid"? Melba got greedy. She is thinking ahead to a book deal and tv appearances. She now seems to be under the impression that the more outlandish her claims, the more money will be rolling in. What proof is there of bigfoot "stunning and disable prey with mental electro magnetic pulse burst" and people needing to protect themselves with "tinfoil hats"?? This is insane.
I want bigfoot to be real. But honeslty, you die hard bleevers in the footer world need to STFU. Ketchum can do no wrong for you imbeciles. You guys want the 'foots to be real so badly that you go along with whatever insane nonsense Melba spews you eat up like gravy, and woe to anyone who dares question her statements. God forbid we ask where the squatches alleged "psychokinetic powers" come from.
Bleevers, I hope you all are having fun white knighting for Ketchum. In the process, you are destroying any credibility footery might have been able to garner with the scientific community.
We can believe you cause everything on the Internet is true.
DeleteIt's not me. I'm looking for the truth. If those claims are false, I'll take it back. But I want the proof that those are falsehoods that have nothing to do with Ketchum's paper or her camp. Can you provide the links?
DeleteYou are either
Delete- one of these new generation trolls that evolved right here on this blog, putting in a great effort and going to great lengths just to piss somebody off, or you are
- just nut.
Bet its' nut.
Hey 10:26, u mad bro? Why u mad? Sounds like someone got hit by a squatch's mind wave! Wear a tinfoil hat next time buddy.
DeleteWe can believe you cause everything on the Internet is true.
Deletei'm mad wanna fight about it?? see i don't comment on ketchum i'll see what the hype is when and if the paper comes i hope it does but seeing as how it's been dragged out i have no clue so i'm not waiting with baited breath or hoping it does i would just like to see it if and when it comes out i see the humor in these rooms as funny anyone should know the things that are bullshit if not tough luck
DeleteThinks he can make his peepee longer by slamming it in door and running backwards.^
DeleteHarryyyyyyyy
DeleteA body is the only thing that will make a difference. The 'footers' have so mucked up any possible evidence that a body is the only way to overcome these past 'sins
Deleteno everyone knows you tie yarn to it andlay under your closet pole and pull on the other side. but my first bit is me messin with 11;06 he knows that
DeleteI'm lost, but hey it's Harry I don't care.
DeleteHey Bandidler stop being such a bully : / and it's bated breath unless you've been eating chum!

DeleteHarry,Harry,Harry.Don't take what I said to heart.

i'm not that's why i said you lay under the closet pole with yarn
DeleteCool beans.
Deleteby the way yes everything on the internet is true i'm a french model...... bon jour
DeleteBut if you do it your way it will make you have a happy ending.My way I don't think you would have a happy ending.What do you think?
Deleteso what's the good word guys?
Deletehey you mad bro?
i say get a good graphics card and always have a happy ending
Deletei think i wouldn't be happy if i was stuck in a bathroom door that's gotta be worse then zippin it up
DeleteHarry,happy ending=orgasm.
Deleteno shit for real? do you know the sites you can go to get it graphics card
DeleteI'm actually now thinking Bigfoot may exist and you don't Harry.
DeleteHarry=Hairy=Bigfoot?
Deleteyou are getting it i am bigfoot bitches kiss the fuckin ring and fox is also my bitch
DeleteIf you do have a wife and she is reading this.
DeletePlease keep Harry locked up and away from forums and small children. He can play with crayons but nothing else.
Haha this has gotten unbelievably off track. Instead of discussing Melba's weird ass claims we have instead proved that Harry is bigfoot. Go footers!
DeleteNo idea if any of that stuff is true but I've seen a lot of it on this site. I bet a lot of it is made up, but there is enough of it floating around on here that I bet there is a kernel of truth in most of those things. Some of the stuff anon 10:13 says I'm not familiar with.
ReplyDeleteBut what exactly are you taking issue with? The playful family of five, stick structures, visiting a dying Sasquatch, hell having a publicist named "Forestpeople" do these things sound on the up and up to you?
We don't appreciate use of long haired cousin Patrick's image here. We be filling cease & desist order.
ReplyDeletePatrick was going through "dark phase" when picture was drawn. He now fully recovered Bagel addict and have short back 'n side and neat goatee beard, like Barackman.
That is all.
Lame.
Delete*Mindrape
Deletewould you rather be mind raped or actually ass raped?
DeleteTough one eh?
Either one would be just fine.

DeleteHarry I'm worried, have you been getting your daily walks, fresh air and medication?
Deletea little my wife is talking of putting me in a retirement home
Deletecome on honestly, you're not really married?
Deletewhy would i make up some dumb shit like that
DeleteOh I don't know. Bigfoot just a quess.
DeleteYes Harry is married
Deleteno he isn't
DeleteLol ok I guess I don't exist. That's actually pretty cool now I don't have to fix dinner!
Deleteyou just eat it baby and make him suffer.
DeleteShe isn't "assuming" anything, she knows you're all a bunch of dumbass fools.
ReplyDeleteamen
DeleteThats darn right
DeleteHussar!
DeleteMelba did do a phone interview and did say that, it's a fact. I think we should put it up on YouTube for everyone to hear and send it to the news too! We could also start releasing all of the names of her followers and financial backers, who are pushing for this fallen Angel shit, let's blow them all out of the water and get back to sound research!
ReplyDeletePost links or it didn't happen.
DeleteCool...post it
