This week, crews from “Finding Bigfoot,” a hit show on Discovery’s Animal Planet channel, are filming in the Calgary area, and Todd Standing can't wait show them where to find Sasquatch.
Standing says the upcoming episode will be centered upon the Sylvanic group’s discoveries. His group also expects to have results of the DNA analysis by October.

Platt: Bigfoot boom in Banff?
By MICHAEL PLATT, CALGARY SUN
If nothing else, the news is bound to make big strides with the Banff tourism industry.
No longer will Alberta’s best-known mountain park depend solely on breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife to impress visitors and lure overseas tourists.
And no more envy towards other famous vacation spots like Loch Ness and Lake Okanagan, where legendary creatures are rumoured to lurk.
Banff now has Bigfoot. Lots and lots of Bigfoots, in fact.
Yes, it’s an allegation that would have Ripley wondering whether to Believe it or Not, and P.T. Barnum reaching for his cheque book, but the mountains west of Calgary are a hotbed for the huge-footed primates.
That’s the assertion of a dedicated bigfoot research organization based near Calgary, which claims not only to have video and photo evidence of the mythical beast, but DNA proof as well.
“When I first started, I was a skeptic, but not anymore — now I’m a wholehearted believer in the species,” said Todd Standing, spokesman for the Sylvanic Bigfoot group.
Standing’s allegations of a Bigfoot colony living near the border of Banff and Kootenay national park will raise many eyebrows, but his evidence has piqued the interest of the Discovery Channel.
This week, crews from “Finding Bigfoot,” a hit show on Discovery’s Animal Planet channel, are filming in the Calgary area, and Standing says the upcoming episode will be centred upon Sylvanic’s discoveries.
“We’ve had exceptional results and we’re working with people doing DNA analysis,” said Standing.
He says preliminary results from hair samples sent in for testing suggest an unknown species of primate, while video and photographs suggest a creature larger than a gorilla, with human-like features.
Of course, it’s that latter evidence that’s bound to have the skeptics taking sasquatch-sized swipes at Standing, particularly the photographs he says are proof of Bigfoot.
Paranormal footage, as a rule, is supposed to be grainy, badly-focused and jittery, as if the camera was assembled by Fisher-Price and mounted to the bumper of a gravel truck.
Not Sylvanic: Standing boasts a collection of sharp video clips and crisp photographs of Bigfoot, showing far, far more than the usual hirsute primate dashing behind the nearest bush.
Instead of blur, we get full-face portraits of the creature, peering from behind trees.
“I’ve had multiple interactions with them, and I’ve filmed them and photographed them on many occasions,” said Standing.
“It’s a real, living breathing animal, which I got within 60 or 70 yards of.”
What the producers of Finding Bigfoot make of all this remains to be seen, as their quartet of sasquatchologists examines the Alberta evidence to see if it’s on solid footing.
The show has gone across North America investigating sightings of the creature, with the network “committed to looking for the Bigfoot until it’s found.”
Standing says he has — though he knows his belief in Bigfoot and the proof he produces from the Banff backwoods opens him to mockery, derision and the suggestion he should sober up.
But he accepts the skeptism, because he originally joined the Sylvanic team with the intent of disproving the ancient story of an ape-like creature hiding in the wilderness of North America.
“I thought it was a combination of hoaxes and mistaken identities, and I wanted to prove it wasn’t true,” said Standing.
Now, he says Bigfoot is a fact — and with weeks, he hopes to have the DNA evidence to prove it.
“We hope to have results by October,” said Standing.
If that’s the case, tourism officials in Banff will surely be thrilled. As it is, they welcome the attention of the popular television show, saying any link with Bigfoot is a bonus for visitors.
“Anything interesting that attracts people is a good thing — it seems like some harmless fun,” said Mary Morrison, spokeswoman for Banff Lake Louise Tourism.
“I mean, who wouldn’t want to see a Bigfoot?”

Sylvanic group and Todd Standing are hoaxers and fakers. This picture is an air brushed image.
ReplyDeleteIf Finding Bigfoot is wasteing time on these people then they have lost it themselves.
Trust nothing from Todd Standing or the Sylvanic group.
when i checked out sylvanic.com it just seemed to me like this t. standing dude just tryed to hard to make people believe his tracking story. all kind of cartoons with stars and names in his vids & not enough big-foots. and how this one time skeptic now has this super tracking ability. he went from zero to hero just like that. i really don't know but i sure hope he is on the up&up! october's not that far off. and if he pulls the DNA part off then we are all winners. also if BO-BO's on the sceen then that big galoot will no doubt scare him off. honestly if there are BF's the BFRO will flush him out.
ReplyDeleteCome on anonymous? Give me some dirt to back up your feelings towards sylvanic. You gave nothing to prove your pointt, and probably can't!

ReplyDeleteIf anybody thinks this (link above) is really a sasquatch then you are crazy. Todd Standing had a fake video up and was selling it to make $$, then he has this bill he is trying to get passed to protect sasquatch and has created many fake videos. He is not to be Trusted and why on earth would Matt Moneymaker and fidning bigfoot team even think about give these hoaxer any air time.It must be the "producers" of the show again.
So Todd is back at it again. I thought he had the scoop on Bigfoot back a few years ago when he had his exclusive film that he showed at the Garneau theatre in Edmonton... oh well, people forget and a new crop of suckers are about to be taken in one more time.
ReplyDeleteHe was on Coast to Coast AM. They learned and won't go near him. Todd is too Fake for Coast to Coast, how low can this dude go.
ReplyDeleteThis show is dumb, n the guy who keeps on thinking everything is a big foot, what a joke. try going back to something normal n not something not real. big foot come on n all those people who say they saw it.(really) get a life. stupid stupid stupid show.
ReplyDeleteAnything bigfoot related that Todd Standing or Tom Biscardi is involved with can be written off from the get go as a bunch of crap. Amongst bigfoot enthusiasts, these two guys are the biggest B.S.ers on the planet. As with typical bigfoot malarky, this article is all talk but nothing substantial. If you've got something convincing, show it to the world!!!! Of course they don't; they just talk about it as if they do. “I’ve had multiple interactions with them, and I’ve filmed them and photographed them on many occasions,” said Standing. Oh really? Do these photographs include those fake bigfoot faces that you tried to pass off as "the clearest images of the face of bigfoot" some years ago (incidentally, those faked photos of the bigfoot face look nothing like the face in the image included with this article)? People like Standing and Biscardi make money from perpetuating hoax after hoax and then try to make whatever bucks they can from it. I sincerely hope that Standing has something, "he says are proof of bigfoot." However, based on his past photos and amateur documentary (which revealed NOTHING remotely close to evidence), it's likely going to be more of the same from this guy.
ReplyDeleteAny organization that is based solely on the assumption that bigfoot exists is going to be teetering on the edge of credibility with most people. Why would the BFRO want to do anything with anyone who has zero credibility, even among the bigfoot community? By the way, only a dead bigfoot body will prove the existence of bigfoot. Go out and blast one in Alberta if you know where they are.
ReplyDeleteThere are hundreds of photos of alleged Sasquatch. Hundreds of alleged recordings. Hundreds of people who claim to have "scientific proof" Yet here we are, still searching. Throughout this country there are thousands of Researchers. Technology such as night vision and thermal imaging are deployed, and nothing. Television shows where Howls are heard, images stroll through the woods, and nothing. You can always join an expedition somewhere for a fee. You can listen to lectures from Experts. Here's a thought, how does one define themselves as an expert on a subject that is scientifically unproven? How long are we going to allow these so called experts to profit from an area that so many have worked for years to provide the truth?
ReplyDeleteTo the Anon above. Great points. Makes you wonder who really owns the planet. They watch and see us,,yet only a few ever get a glimpse of them.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, make sure you set the system up correctly. Succeeding

Since salamanders are amphibians, they would
rather choose moist and damp areas to live.
