Scientific Proof Of Bigfoot/Sasquatch

Here is a link to an archived online radio show called Bigfoot Busters Radio from October 31st, 2010. The host are Tim Stover from NE Ohio and Chuck Prahl from Maryland.

This show discusses upcoming scientific evidence for proof of Bigfoot/Sasquatch. It's almost a a 2 hour show. The first hour the guest is David Paulides and the second hour is Dr. Melba Ketchum.

David Pualides heads North American Bigfoot Search which can be found here...

He has also authored two books on Bigfoot. One titled "The Hoopa Project" and the other is titled "Tribal Bigfoot. Both are recent books and I have read both and do recommend them for good info on Squatches. Both books are about his research on these creatures.

David Paulides has been able to collect some physical tissue samples purported to be from Sasquatches and has had the DNA tested by Dr. Melba Ketchum.

Here's a link to some background on Dr. Ketchum...

An interesting guest called in during the second half of the show. It was Adrian Erickson who has been doing Sasquatch research for the last five years with a team of people. It is called the Erickson Project and involves Sasquatch video and DNA. He discusses some of what he has found and when his findings will be released to the public.

Dr. Ketchum has done the DNA research on the tissue samples for both David Paulides and Adrian Erickson and says she has tested other samples from different people across the country. She is a wildlife biologist and states on the show that she has no doubt at all about the existence of these creatures... she doesn't have to see one, the proof for her is in the DNA.

Here is a link to a short video by Adrian Erickson about his up coming documentary on his Bigfoot research.

I found this radio show very interesting because they talk about DNA evidence, video evidence and touch on some things that I agree with about Squatches. One thing Adrian Erickson said twice during the program is that these things don't need protection. They do just fine out there in the woods with out us having to jump on the band wagon and making all kinds of regulations concerning them. One thing I do think is important though is that when the time comes when these creatures are declared a scientifically recognized species is that it be made a crime to harm one in any way or kill one. I feel this is the only kind of law that needs to be passed to protect them. Just let them live and roam the way the are now and have been for who knows how long.

Another interesting thing that was said on the show, I think it was by A.E. , is that the population density of Squatches is higher than that of  Black Bears. This I don't find surprising and feel the same way. I base this on what I see and have learned out in the field. I've always said that these creatures do not need wilderness to live in. They may do better in rural areas like we have here in NE Ohio than in a wilderness because of the availability of food resources. In NE Ohio much of the land is a patchwork large wood plots and farms, there are many orchards that grow all kinds of varieties of fruits and berries. There are thousands of ponds, lakes, marshes and swamps. We have thousand of acres of parks and other protected lands. Much of the lands along the rivers, creeks and streams are wooded and protected. These offer excellent corridors for anything to use to travel along and stay hidden under the cover of night.

So if you have time listen to the radio show I posted the link to at the top of this rant. While you are at it check out some of the other archived shows on Bigfoot Busters Radio. Tim and Chuck have done an excellent job of getting some interesting and will known guest lined up for their show.

Now don't forget... " Never go Squatch'n alone, always take a friend along, someone you know you can out run".
