Nick Redfern on "Bigfoot, “Government Agents,” And “Giants”

Nick Redfern has an item at Mysterious Universe on hairy giants in British Columbia. This story goes back to the 1930s. Not just Sasquatch (the hairy giants) but government knowledge of the creatures:

Bigfoot, “Government Agents,” And “Giants” | Mysterious Universe: Back in the mid-1950s, a highly unusual and brief account of a cryptozoological nature surfaced. It came from one C.S. Lambert. The subject matter? The world’s most famous man-beast. We’re talking about Bigfoot, of course. In 1954, Lambert commented on his knowledge of very strange activity not too far from the Canadian city of Vancouver, British Columbia. It was activity which reportedly occurred almost two decades earlier, in 1935. ~ Nick Redfern, Mysterious Universe

From Nick Redfern: "Bigfoot, UFOs And The Bionic Man "|

Prolific Nick Redfern (really, we all should say hard working, because many of us are as prolific in our ideas, we aren't just as diligent and hard working as Nick) shares a bit of TV history regarding Bigfoot and UFOs.

Bigfoot, UFOs And The Bionic Man | Mysterious Universe: The 1970s was the one period, more than any other, in which the monster-hunting community focused on the controversial Bigfoot/UFO connection. Or, depending on your perspective, the lack of connection. Indeed, today, the vast majority of Bigfoot investigators are highly intolerant of the idea that there might be a link between cryptid apes and aliens. Although, I definitely recommend Stan Gordon’s 2010 book, Silent Invasion, which is an excellent study of Bigfoot and Fortean high-strangeness in 1970s-era Pennsylvania. And, it was also in the seventies that the fascination for the UFO-Bigfoot link spilled over into the domain of fiction. ~ (Nick Redfern, Mysterious Universe

Cemetery Removes 'Offensive' Bigfoot Memorial - Coast to Coast AM

The Coast to Coast  site has a report on an Ohio cemetery that removed a statue of Bigfoot because it was "offensive."

Cemetery Removes 'Offensive' Bigfoot Memorial - Coast to Coast AM: An Ohio family is coping with another round of heartbreak after the cemetery where their son is buried removed a Bigfoot statue at his grave because it was deemed offensive.

Trevor Zuniga passed away from muscular dystrophy this past January and, as a tribute to his love of Bigfoot, his family placed a large statue of the creature at his grave.

"It was just like so perfect, you couldn't have found anything more perfect for Trevor," his mother told WFMJ Ohio. (more at Coast to Coast.com)

Thom Powell on Coast to Coast

Thom Powell was the guest last night on Coast to Coast. A great interview with host Connie Willis. What I really appreciate about Powell is what he said regarding researching the Sasquatch. At some point, he felt he had to come to a decision. Is his interest about collecting evidence, or going through the experience? I will say here that the same goes for UFO research. I've certainly come to that conclusion a long time ago, that my "research" regarding ufology concerns my experience. Whether it's Sasquatch or UFOs, my investigations begin with me, and others, and then, comparing and contrasting cases. But as far as "evidence" and certainly any evidence within a hard core scientific paradigm -- that's not what it's about for me. This is not to say physical evidence in either field is unwanted or unappreciated. It takes all varieties of individuals coming together to share their data -- truly share, and truly be inclusive.

There are still hold outs out there, in UFO Land and the Sasquatch field, who are strictly "nuts and bolts." None of this telepathic communications ("mindspeak") with the Sasquatch stuff for them. Fortunately, after a long time, this seems to be changing.

It was heartening to hear level headed words about a seemingly non-leveled headed topic (telepathic Sasquatch.) I was also very happy to hear Thom Powell mention Lisa Shiel, who to this day, seems to be somewhat ignored regarding Sasquatch research.

"Mind Speak" Dialogue

Bigfoot researcher Sharon Lee doesn't believe much in the stranger side of Sasquatch stuff, but she does share the following with her readers at her Bigfoot Field Reporter blog:
