Texas Bigfoot Takes Center Stage

By -

Cryptid expert Lyle Blackburn is coming to Dallas to talk about the long history of bigfoot encounters in Texas.

Bigfoot sightings have long been a part of Texas lore and legend. In fact, even our own Davy Crockett told of an encounter with a creature in 1836. On his way to the Alamo, Davy claimed to have seen an eight-foot-tall creature entirely covered in fur with rows of broken teeth. Davy said that the creature even spoke to him warning him to leave Texas. Surely we can trust the words of our state hero!

As far back as Texas has been Texas (was there a time before Texas?), tales of what we think of as Bigfoot have been passed down and told around campfires. Every native tribe in the Lonestar State has their own tales and accounts. The Cherokee called it the Kecleh-Kudleh. Other tribes had names like Lofa, Na’in, and Oma. If any place on this planet could harbor such creatures, it’s our great state.

There were many vivid newspaper accounts of Bigfoot sightings, along with bigfoot-related hysteria the 1960s and 1970s. (Sorry, no Bigfoot photographs. Guess he’s camera-shy.) But there are currently more sightings coming from every corner of the state than ever before, though he is most likely to be seen in the Piney Woods region and occasionally in the Hill Country. Only the Pacific Northwest has more activity.

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.
