Photos of Robin Lynne Pfeifer horses after Bigfoots braided their manes! . This report was met with quite a bit of ridicule at the time, and it was never confirmed by Ketchum to my knowledge. Robin Lynne Pfeifer lives in Michigan at a habituation site. Bigfoots have been coming around to her place for a couple of years now. Her claims are very controversial. Some say she really has Bigfoots on her property. Others say that the whole thing is made up and fake.

At one point, the Bigfoots on her property braided the manes on her horse.

Via a confidential source, I recently received three photos of Pfeifer’s horse showing braiding of the horse’s mane. There are three photos in total.

Very closeup view of mane braiding on one of Pfeifer’s horses. It is not known whose hand is in the photo.

Although the idea that Bigfoots braid horse’s manes is very odd, there seems to be some support for the idea that they do this. From the Caucasus, we have a long history of reports that the Almas braid the manes on local horses. These reports date far back in time as long as oral history goes.

In the US, we also have many reports that Bigfoots braid horses’ manes. The late Richard Stubstad, a very scientific man, believed that Bigfoots and Almas may well braid horses’ manes, as crazy as it sounds.

Why Bigfoots and Almas would do this, or why this strange behavioral trait would be shared with two relict hominids thousands of miles apart is not known.

Bart Cutino delivered an interesting presentation – a video of five full minutes of thermal footage showing 3-4 Bigfoots in the Sierra Nevada – at Day 5 of the Bigfoot Discovery Days Event at Mike Rugg’s Bigfoot Museum in Felton, California tonight, October 20, 2012. As I am writing this, Bart may well have finished with his presentation. A post describing his presentation is here.

The footage was shot in late August 2012 at a research location in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Those present were Justin Smeja, Shawn Evidence, Bart Cutino, Ro Sahebi and tow other men named “Todd” and “Michael L..”

They went to the location, which is deep in the Sierras away from all crowds at about 7000 feet elevation. They encountered no one along the primitive road to the locale. They camped in either the forest or a meadow – at any rate, they did not camp in a campground, primitive or otherwise.

At around 1:30 AM, Cutino and Shawn took a road that circled up above the camp. The circled up to the top of the loop to a point where they could look down on the campground about 130 yards below where Ro and the new fellow were hanging out by the fire. Justin was asleep at the time.

Bart had a state of the art video camera with FLIR technology for night vision. He was about to give up when he noticed figures in a draw about 100 yards below. Incredulous, he focused further, and noted a bipedal figure moving back and forth in the shadowed and shaded draw. Another bipedal figure was up against a tree, motionless.

Bart filmed about an hour of tape until his last battery ran out. In that hour of tape, an edited down version produced about five minutes of Bigfoot footage within the space of that hour. Hence, the Bigfoots were present about 8% of the time he was filming.

At one point, a larger Bigfoot appeared and threw what appeared to be a rock. Towards the end of the footage, what may be a fourth Bigfoot appears. The Bigfoot walking back and forth may be an adolescent or a female. It was later estimated to be ~6’2. A larger Bigfoot was ~7′ tall, and the biggest one of all was estimated at an incredible 9′.

When they got back to the camp at about 2:30 PM, Ro and the new fellow were quite agitated and jumpy. They had seen “shadows dancing” in the ambient light above the camp just up the hill from the camp. On top of that, at one point, three deer ran into their camp and stood there next to the two men, frozen motionless. The deer were apparently terrified of the Bigfoots.

Bart had to wrestle with himself for some time about releasing it as he did not feel that the footage was conclusive. The footage is from 100 yards away, and all you can see is bipedal figures moving or standing in the woods at a distance.

They look more or less like people. However, there were no other humans spotted on the way into the site that day, and none were heard in the area at night either. Truth is they were in the middle of the wilderness, miles away from any humans or camps. 3-4 bipedal creatures, all of whom were from pretty tall to insanely tall, were heard and then seen and photographed moving around the wilderness woods without using flashlights.

Not sure if you have ever been camping in the wilderness before, but you simply do not see or hear other humans walking around in the woods in the middle of the night with no flashlight. In fact, you won’t see or hear any humans in the woods even with flashlights after the sun goes down. The only thing you see or hear in the deep woods at night are animals.

Hence, I do not believe it is possible that the 3-4 large figures in the video were mysterious humans who sneaked up on a wilderness camp and walked around in the woods at night without flashlights while throwing rocks.

Over the past few months, one 8-night trip was taken to the site. Bill Munns helped with the height identifications. It was only after extensive investigations were done that Bart decided to make the video and make his presentation.

The footage has not yet been released, but I will soon be able to see a version of it. The footage will probably be released in 1-2 months and is sure to be controversial. Surely there will be many cries of “Hoaxer!”

Drama queen soap opera scenario involving Middle America Bigfoot Research Center (MABRC) and a report I made on a possible Bigfoot body.

In my last report, I noticed an oddly worded post by Ed Smith (kook) head of a shadowy group called Orig-6 on the MABRC forums in which Ed implied cryptically that either his organization or MABRC may have a captured Bigfoot in some form or another. I never said, “MABRC has a Bigfoot body.” I simply reprinted the odd post and wondered if that was what they were implying.

DW Lee (kook), head of MABRC, then made a post in Bigfoot Forums in which he said, “We neither confirm nor deny that we have a Bigfoot body. We reiterate that Ed Smith is a friend of ours.”

This attention-getting, histrionic nonsense led to a long, 8-page thread in which DW and Ed made repeated posts and cleared up absolutely nothing about the situation. Does either one of them have a body? Maybe they do. Maybe they don’t. Neither confirm nor deny. On and on with the childish attention whoring.

Reading between the lines of these male drama queens, one comes to the apparent conclusion that neither Orig-6 nor MABRC has a body of a Bigfoot in any form whatsoever. Instead of telling us that, they stand on their heads and yell, “Look at me!” Silly boys.

Orig-6 and MABRC have been around for some time, and neither one has produced much evidence of any value to my knowledge. Nevertheless, Tom Biscardi-style, they are always yelling that they have something big coming up real soon, but then tomorrow never comes and we are left holding the bag once again.

MABRC claims to be the biggest Bigfoot organization in North America, competing with Melissa  Hovey’s (kook) American Bigfoot Society in that dubious regard. Both of these groups spend much of their time in dramatics, fighting with any or all around them, wild competition over nothing, threats, stunts and all-around kookery.

The guys at MABRC have been known for a long time to threaten and belittle other “researchers” in the typical Bigfoot kook style. At one time, they threatened a researcher from North Dakota who accused them of being pro-kill. Recently a pipe bomb of all things was detonated at a conference in Oklahoma that the MABRC was not involved in. It is not known who set off the bomb. Sounds like somebody’s playing for keeps though.

New possible Bigfoot photo out of New Hampshire. Dan Rushlow, a fine researcher with a group called Northeast Bigfoot, took an interesting photo on a recent expedition in New Hampshire. They had been wood knocking and howling all day, and some of the party had turned in for the night.

Dan’s wife was sleeping in the tent when Dan heard a noise in woods in back of the tent. Then he saw a shadow back in the woods. He pulled out his camera and took a photo. With the flash of the camera, the object moved away. Dan later looked at the photo and thought he saw eye shine in back of the tent.

He sent it to a friend in the BFRO who enhanced it for him. Via the enhancements, you can see what appears to be eyes, a head, shoulders and possibly a nose in back of the tent. The tent is 5’8 at its top, so the object with the glowing eyes is over 5’8 tall. Human eyes do not glow in the dark.

Original photo. The possible Bigfoot eye shine can be seen around the red ink just above the tent’s roof.

Enhanced photo showing possible outline of the creatures bodies. You can eye shine well here, and this does look like Bigfoot eye shine to me that I have seen in other photos. It has a certain look to it.

Further enhancements via software. You can see the possible Bigfoot peeking right over the top of the tent in this photo.

Smaller photo with the possible Bigfoot highlighted. In this case, you can make out what may be a nose below the eyes.

Just for the record, I agree that this appears to be a Bigfoot in back of the tent in the photo. Humans don’t have eye shine like that, and no animal has an eye shine that looks like that. Further, the outline of the figure looks very much like various photos of Bigfoots I have seen before. Congrats to Dan and his fine organization on a job well done!

New possible Bigfoot photo from Extreme Expeditions in North Cascades National Park. A new research group called Extreme Expeditions has formed. Among other things, they will be searching for Bigfoots. They appear to be headquartered out of Washington State. A woman named Lori Simmons appears to be heavily involved in the group. Other than that, I know little about them.

On September 4, 2012 they organized a trip to North Cascades National Park in Washington state to an area where a lot of suspected Bigfoot activity was occurring. Throughout the day, a lot of suspected Bigfoot activity was observed.

Night fell, and instead of sleeping in their tent, two members of the team, Lori and Adam Davies, decided to sleep outdoors under the stars. They had a motion camera set up on a nearby tree. At some point in the night, the motion camera was triggered by something moving in front of it.

A picture was snapped of a large object, apparently some sort of an animal, that appeared to be kneeling on the ground in front of the two people sleeping in their sleeping bags. The people were not awoken by the curious creature.

Later they retrieved the strange photo. It appears to be a Bigfoot taken from the rear view. To me, this creature looks a lot like the Patterson creature, the Hovey creature and the Harley Hoffman creature. There are reasons I think it is real, but I will not elaborate them because I do not want to encourage hoaxers. But if you look back at those photos or photos and then look at this creature, you may see some interesting parallels.

Thom Cantrall (kook) recently posted that he felt that this creature was definitely a juvenile Bigfoot. Now whether this is a juvey Bigfoot or not, I have no idea.

The creature is estimated to be 5′tall, which is why Thom may be saying it’s a juvey, as juveys are ~5′ tall. However, this creature has a very wide back, and I feel it is kneeling down. Even kneeling down, it is 5′ tall, so it may be much taller than 5′. For some reason, I feel this Bigfoot may be a female, but I am not sure as I am still developing a theory about gender differences in Bigfoots.

The original, shocking photo of a possible Bigfoot apparently kneeling in front of two human females sleeping on the ground. Note the vast width of the back and shoulders of the creature. This is probably a view of its back.

Recreation by Thom Cantrall, who is reportedly a big fellow, kneeling down. This shows that the creature is quite a bit taller and much wider than Thom, who is said to be a big guy.

Although Cantrall is a kook for sure, he can also be a very good researcher when he is not off in la-la land with his nutty paranormal theories. In this case, Thom is to be commended for the excellent job he did researching this photo.

I know little about Extreme Expeditions, but I have high hopes for them. They appear to be a professional, high class group that is doing some fine and careful research and staying above the Sasquatch Scuttlebutt. That’s what this stuff is all about – serious work, not endless feuding.

  1. FYI, the enlargement tof “The original photo” of the trailcam creature is one I did to show just the creature and not the creature and the table, etc also. In the short video, the material behind the sasquatch is an empty sleeping bag and the creature’s foot kicks at it repeatedly, and then too something like a snout may be seen as it turns its head.

  2. That is in reference to the last story. Extreme Expeditions never published a closeup of the creature, only longshots. When I made the closeup for my blog, they asked if they could use my copy, and I had no problem with that.

    Thanks Robert, great round-up. All the best. Tim, U.K.

  4. Mr.E2ME

    I’m willing to bet Ed Smith possesses a members only jacket. I would further bet that the mabrc has the last remaining stock and gives them out after a bizarre ceremony that would put the masons to shame.
    You were wrong about the bff thread btw. I think It got to 10 pages ! Double rofl !
    tanks fur de updates mang.

  5. It takes skill and patience to braid hair..

    And your welcome..

  6. Robert, the pictures of the horse with braided mane are not Melba Ketchum’s photos of her horses. They are Robin Lynn Forestpeople’s photos of her pony. Just so there is no misunderstanding. I have confirmed the pics with her. Would you please put a disclaimer on your post on Facebook? Thank you.

  7. Lori thinks Bigfoot is crap.

  8. ” Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Auntie Em!” Evil sarcastic cackle.

  9. uncle tancred

    If sasquatch braid horse manes and if they do nails also and maybe facials, its further proof they came across the landbridge from Asia. Setting up arboreal spas like their human counterparts from the east do in the malls. Seriously…its interesting behavior, and statistically people on horseback see more squatch than most. Add this behavior to other things, like stone stacking and branch breaking and inverting dead treetrunks in the ground and you have a mixture of territorial, nuturing and even creative behaviors.

  10. uncle tancred

    Yes, Em, good for all that cuddling and such. According to Albert Ostman, they arent very well endowed, so they probably emphasize the cuddling. Just sayin’

    • Mr.E2ME

      There’s got to be a body odor issue wrapped up in all that cuddling. Fine, if the big fucking thing wants a hug, but they smell kinda skunky , no ?
      But seriously, you ever wonder if they get burrs and such caught up in their hang lows ? What with all that hair and trompin through the bush…
      yeah, they need a spa day real bad. Prolly a haircut too.

  11. skylar

    Robert,seems no ones taking this thread seriously….but am enjoying everyones attempt at comedy. So any more news on the Melba Ketchum front?

  12. Mr.E2ME

    @ Em,
    No not all. Especially if yur into that paleo diet. You would be the queen of every bigfoot blog on the interwebs.

  13. jurrawarra

    Better look for guys with long white coats in big black vans….dating/cuddling Squatches indeed….would make ur eyes pop one way or another I guess…

  14. Damn this shit is too funny Em.

  15. Mr.E2ME

    They’re just jealous precious Em. You know what you want …they don’t.
    I hope unca T is right about them having the Irish curse. ‘Cuz if everything is proportionate, y’all best be a “size queen”.

  16. Mr.E2ME

    Me ? nah. I’ll admit to a mild case of jungle fever, but I’m just not feeling that forest fever. I should probably reconsider, however. Likely get me a wife that could live with my sloppy ways and feed me fresh elk sushi whenever I desired. Like yurself I would have The lovely Sheila carry me everywhere , becoming the envy of prius owners.
    Ah well, I do like athletic girls, but the only relict hominid chick I ever did see was that old broad , Patty- she did nothing to stir the wedding tackle.
    Mebbe I get a look @ that hotty in the Erickson film , I might change my mind.
    Would you have Matt Moneymaker or Jeff Meldrum walk you down the isle? Just curious…

  17. Gay State Girl

    Hi Emmie. Check your blog’s comment section.

  18. uncle tancred

    No higher primate has or needs the wide hips human females do. That is because other primate infants do not have heads as proportionally large to the body as human infants. Therefore a birth would probably be less fraught with peril as a human birth. Notice Patty: Her hips are not wider than her shoulders or waist. No need for them to be. While we’re on the subject of sasquatch babies, one thing that bothers me about the sketch of the infant Smeja heroically butchered is that it appears to have a saggittal crest. Saggittal crests are a function of body mass. A baby wouldnt have one. Gorilla infants and adolescents dont, neither do chimps. they arent massive enough.

  19. Mr.E2ME

    @Em.
    Didn’t mean anything derogatory by the size queen comment. More of a cautionary comment, than a personal zing.
    I fully admire and endorse your cross species affection (I guess it who’s dna interpretation you want to beleive on that one, otherwise he might as just be a big hairy guy from the countryside..)
    Should this love affair culminate in an offspring , would you send it to public or private school ? Mebbe home school in a forest somewhere ?
    Whichever I would get it ( male or female) enrolled in a football or basketball program asap. They would prolly do well enough for you to retire.
    Perhaps beauty school , with that natural inclination to braid……

  20. Sasqrotch

    Good massage, maybe. Don’t think i’d ask for a “happy ending” tho.

  21. themanwithoutaname

    Horse mane braiding is nothing new. I have seen it many times myself on horses that I knew all of the people that could have come in contact with those horses, and I know for a fact that they had no interest in such simple artwork. Nor does the vegetation cause this phenomenon, because pulling on manes from vegetation that may have become caught, is most certainly going to undo any braiding instead of causing it. End of story. There is no new news here.

  22. S Brooke

    Although I do not discount the possibility of BigFoot (my mother had a possible encounter in Green Mountain Falls, CO in the early 1970′s and a friend of mine had an encounter in Teller County, CO in the late 1990′s)
    The picture of the BigFoot eye glow in what looks like tree branches is extremely similar to a Puma or Mountain Lion.
