New Exhibit at the International Cryptozoology Museum Includes Gun That Almost Brought Down Bigfoot

The International Cryptozoology Museum has obtained a collection of artifacts belonging to the lesser known bigfooter, but no less important, Tom Page. A millionaire who played an integral part in the quest for bigfoot discovery. Included in the collection is a 32 gauge dart gun, that was used in hopes of acquiring a live specimen.

"The Hunt for Bigfoot
I propose that another critical point in hominological history occurred right after the October 20, 1967 filming of what appears to be a female Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California.

Serious, quiet, but well-supported research teams were placed into the field throughout the Pacific Northwest with the thought that capturing a Bigfoot/Sasquatch was within their grasp. I have written extensively about Texas oil millionaire Tom Slick’s pre-Patterson-Gimlin film efforts in this realm, from 1958 until Slick’s death in 1962.

Now, the International Cryptozoology Museum is happy to announce the exhibition of parts of a collection, the complete acquisition of which occurred this spring. We have the Tom Page Bigfoot archives and artifacts. The collection allows us, with a snapshot of the sense of those times, to open a door to the past.

The men using this dart gun, a cap-chur gun, felt they were on the verge of obtaining a Bigfoot. Tom Page bought this gun from the factory. All the paperwork indicates it was sold to Page directly as a “Harrington Richardson 32 gauge special Cap-Chur Powder Projector,” in 1969.

The then-millionaire Tom Page of Ohio supplied this dart gun, the helicopter, the money, and pushed along the search, contractually and in a business-like fashion. This history was almost lost, and we congratulate Tom Page for fulfilling the mission of the Museum with his generous donation of these artifacts (not the helicopter, of course, but much evidence of what he did)."
