Dear Mr. Green,
Got your note and questionair. Evidently Ray Crowe didnt send you a copy of my
letter to him. It answered most of the questions in the questionair. I'll fill
it out and send you a copy of the letter, plus some added information.
IThis is the letter:
Dear Ray,
Olson of Northern Cal.
When I got
Over
I try to read all the articals that are in the public eye regarding Bigfoot.
the last few years I havent come across a story in the papers or magazines about
Bigfoot,--but once. I came across a story in the Medford tribune about a Tim
Tim believes there are Bigfoot in the Siskiyou Mountains.
I have two stories to tell. The first is about the Sis kiyou area. Being a mountain
lover and metal detector enthusist I spend a lot of time in the mountains around
the Medford and Yreka area, looking for gold. In the last three years there hasnt
been too many roads or trails that I havent been on. And thats quite a few!
So on with the story. I was trying to find a trail (in the summer) of 92) that
I had been on in 91. At one point there was one main road and three trails at that
the summit.
I camped at the intersection of these trails. The next morning, about
8a.m. I decided to take the main road back down to the Kalamath river hyway.
Within a block after I started down there was a curдe in the road. After the curve
there was a straightaway for about theee blocks. As I went around this curve I saw
a glimpse of a black furry animal walking down the road. It was at the far end of
this straightaway. It turned around to look at me and within three strides went
around another bend in the road. I sped down as fast as I could.
around the bend it was gone. I stoped, got out of the car looked around and listened

I yelled "Chinka' There was still no sound. After-having-pemembered-abea==I then

his straight up gait on two legs. Then when he turned his head around (not moving
his entire body like a bear wound do) to look at me while still walking---and even
when I saw a very short glimpse of his face, devoid of facial hair in some spots,
made me think it was indeed a sasquatch. On this road to the left was a very steep
canyon covered with brush and trees. It gave a very limited vision of the area
On the right was a steep bank perhaps ten to fifteen feet high cut out to
make the road at this bend. No animal except maybe a cougar could have scaled this.
So the animal had to go down in the canyon on the left. Since I heard no noise, I
figured it must of stopped, well hidden, and was waiting for me to leave. The

about 15 years ago, 20 miles east of St. Maries Idaho.
This happened
While driving around roads
and trails I got my car stuck in a quagmire of mud, trying to reach the main hyway.
I decided to walk out and try to get some help. It was about a 3 mile walk to get
to the bottem of this mountain, and about 3/4 mile to the main hyway. The road was
well sheltered from both sides with tall pine trees, and bushes.

to say I kept looking behind me all the way to the end of the road. This experience
led me to believe in Bigfoot or something never discovered before. ONe other thing.
There was no strong odor as he passed me. I have never read anything about the voice of
Bigfoot other than a loud gutteral roar. That voice I heard has been implanted in my
brain forever! In that area there has been stories of domestic and wild animals bodies
have been mutalatied and thier sex organs ripped out. Anyway when this happened I was
going to get someone to help me build a strong iron cage and go back with a tranqulizer

So I never did go back up
I never told anyone the exact location of this find. Now after all these years
I am willing to. A Prof. at Wash. St. U. has spent a lot of time and effort trying
to get one. I should have told him long ago. After all these years there may be none
in this area now----but then there may be. (end of letter)
I wont tell or show anyone any pictures of the earea until after I spend a couple
more weekends up there this summer. But be assured I WILL HAVE A CAMERA when I go.
Also make a good search of the area for anyfootprints or any telltale signs of
Bigfoot. I have my own ideas about him. I think I have a reasonable idea why noone
has ever capurded onnonе. I believe his awareness of the wilderness is far greater
than any wild animal or human. He has eyes like an eggle, ears like a deer, and
can smell better than any other animal. He can see smell or hear a human or veicle
within a mile and therefor can easaly keep amile distance from human danger. I think
his one weakness is not his curis@ty but his stomach. I plan on taking freaeh
fresh vegtables, leave them on the hood of my car when I get ready for bed and keep
a lookout for him. If he's in that area he will hear my radio playing music. I
think that is what attracted him to my camping area last time. Also if there is
only one person he might be a little more braver. He would certainly shy away from
groups of people Dor cars. If he's still in that area I will have a good chanch
of seeing him.because I will be alone.

between two steel posts at an
entry road. Bigfoot tracks were
all around here, too, and one of
the posts (imbedded in concrete)
had been pulled up. the men
reported.
First Bigfoot action of the year
has been reported a few miles
above Dbde.
The scene of tracks made by
two of the creatures was re-
ported at mid-week last week by
a pair of mushroom hunters,
Tracks reportedly were "pretty
fresh and all over the place."
The mushroom hunters ap-
parently felt the tracks were too
fresh for them and so Just
spooked out and came back to
Walla Walla, according to Paul
Freeman, to whom the hunters
reported their find. The callers
would not identify themselves:
Just gave him the location, Free
man said.
Scene of this initial sighting
of Bigfoots for the year is on
Biscuit Ridge at the head of Dry
Creek and only a short distance
from the boundary of the Mill
Creek Watershed, according to
Freeman.
Freeman got the call from the
mushroom seekers on April 21.
The next day he and Bull
Laughery of Pasco and Billy
Flelds of Walla Walla went to the
site. It was a trip that was to
prove highly interesting to all
three. Besides Freeman. I've
talked to Laughery, a Dayton
native and retired game depart
ment employee.

Investigated the scene as well as
a lot of real estate around it.
According to Laughery. pro-
fessional trackers were to check
out the sighting early this week.
Peter Byrne, director of the
Bigfoot Research Project (1-800-
BIGFOOT) has expressed a lot of
interest in the sighting and might
come here too.

Fields checked out the report.

night before, damaging many of
the tracks they found
You'd see them good in places
and not very good in many
places. Freeman said.
He said one track measured
17 inches long and the other
was 13 1/2 inches.
Both Freeman and Laughery
estimated they observed as many
as three or four thousand tracks
over a fairly wide area at the
scene.
Laughery thought the ani-
mals were looking for small ro-
dents (a trait of Bigfoot's r
ported many times) or mush-
rooms as these creatures appar-
ently consider the morel a deli-
cacy as does his human coun-

tracks were all around it.
Laughery and Freeman said.

half-inch steel) was stretched
Both Laughery and Freeman
said they were "real impressed"
with this display of raw
strength, if it had been done by
the Bigfoot, as seemed apparent
to them.
Freeman, who has made plas-
ter casts of hundreds of Bigfoot
footprints since 1982, has also
captured in plaster a couple of
hand prints. But, nothing like

the area. The big hand seem-

edibles, then pulled its hand
free. Freeman poured plaster
into the formation and secured
a cast with some difficulty, be
said. Next week hopefully we'll
have pictures to show this evt
dence. The thumb indicates a
formation with differences from
that of a human thumb.
Both Freeman and Laughery
(the latter long schooled in the
trackage of people and animals)
said the footprints they secured
in plaster indicated a foot for-
maton also different from a
human's.
The bone structure is differ-
ent from ours," Freeman said.
"It's obviously made so the crea-
ture can have a foot meant to
do a lot more work than ours."
Speculation among those
who were at the scene indi-
cates the two Bigfoots might
well be a pair which has been
seen here before. A female and
a younger Bigfoot has been seen
on upper Mill Creek as well as
over by Maloney Mountain out
of Dayton in years past.

ceived a call from a person identi-
fying himself as a mushroom
picker. The caller would not leave
his name but directed Freeman
to the location of where to find
the tracks.
Even Freeman was skeptical
at first. So often hunters or hikers
will alert him to tracks that turn
out to be bear markings.
But he and two of his friends
felt it was worth the 45-minute
drive from Walla Walla to check it
out. The tracks turned out to be
more than what they expected.
In fact, the markings made a
believer out of Billy Field, who
accompanied Freeman on his
search.
"I'm going up there right now,"
Field said this morning. "I want
to see" Bigfoot.
Field said he was a skeptic un-
til he saw traces of the creature.
"There must be a hundred of
them," Field said about the
tracks leading about three-
quarters of a mile along Biscuit
Ridge. Field is a retired tire re-
pairman of Walla Walla.
The other person with Free-
man was Bill Laughery of the Tri-
Cities. Laughery said the tracks
are significant because they are
the first real evidence that the
creature has been in the area
since last fall.
"I already was a believer,"
Laughery, a retired game agent
for the state Department of Wild-
life, said. This is exciting, he
added because there weren't
many tracks that were seen here
last year, he added.
Freeman will add the im-
printed casts to his collection,
along with a videotape that he
says shows bigfoot in the Mill
Creek Watershed. In 1992, he
captured a blurry image of the
creature with his camcorder.
Previous evidence offered by
Freeman have been pictures and
hair samples he keeps in his
freezer.
But if the plaster casts aren't
enough to convince people, Free-
man hopes to put a radio collar
on one of the Sacquatches and
trace his or her movements.
He confesses that would be one
of his biggest challenges yet.

Paul Freeman knows bigfoot creatures are
rooming around at Biscuit Ridge this time of
year.
His latest proof is the plaster casts of a 17-
inch-long footprint and 7-inch-wide human-like
hand. Freeman captured the prints last week
by pouring plaster on the tracks he and two
miles east of Dixie on Biscuit Ridge.

Was it Bigfoot?
Strange creature

Was it Bigfoot or someone
playing around?
No one knows for sure but two
sets of men who do not know each
other saw something strange about
the same time and same place five
miles east of Quincy last week on
Highway 70.
Both pairs of witnesses describe
the same thing, a strange, hairy
thing on the side of the road that
darted across the highway when
they approached in their vehicles.
All four say it was most definitely
not a bear and did not appear
human because of all the hair on it.
If it was a hoax or a prank, then
somebody's running around in a
gorilla suit according to all of them.
Pat Farley of Lake Tahoe and
Jerry Paradiso were moving
Paradiso's belongings to his new
Taylorsville home when they saw it
about 12:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb.
3.
"My first impression was that
someone was screwing around in a
gorilla suit," said Farley. "But it
wasn't a bear. It had a long gait and
was kind of hunched over. It gave
me chills all over my body."
"It wasn't big, it was man-size,
said Paradiso. "It had a long gait
and its arms were swinging way up
and down." Both men agreed that

whatever they saw was unusually
hairy with a rounded, human-like
head. There was no snout, they
added.
When the pair reached Quincy,
they called the local Sheriff's office
to report their sighung. They were
not intoxicated, both say. Sheriff's
log records indicate Paradiso called
the department and a deputy
accompanied them back out to the
scene, where they found nothing.
On the log, Paradiso said he and
Farley saw the strange apparition
about five miles east of Quincy.
That puts the sighung in the
precisely
Williams Loop area,
where PG&E employees Nate
Soileau and Dan Fields were about
midnight that same evening when
they saw something strange on their
way home to Quincy.
Rounding a corner, both men
spotted something eerie standing in
the road. "It was on its hind legs
and was about nine to ten feet tall,"
Soileau said. "It didn't have a snout
like a bear. It had a blunt face like a
human or ape. It walked across the
road and went up the (steep) bank
in nothing flat. It made the hair
stand up on the back of my neck."
Soileau said he went back the
next day to check for tracks and
found nothing.
"It was real strange," Soileau
concluded. "I thought someone was
in a costume at first but the height
and the way it went up that hill just
boggled my mind." Soileau added
that he does not drink and that he
and Fields were not on anything the
night of the sighting.
According to Fields, "We were
coming around a curve and there
was this thing standing on the side
of the road. It walked across the
road and was about nine to 10 feet
tall. I thought I was going nuts."
Fields said "I don't know what it
was but it had a lot of black hair. It
was clear night and it was just
unreal. If it wasn't Bigfoot, it was
somebody on drugs in a gorilla suit
messing with traffic."
Whatever the men saw one thing
is for sure. They saw it 15 minutes
apart on precisely the same stretch
of road on the same night. Does
Bigfoot live or is someone in a
gorilla suit scaring midnight drivers
on Highway 70? Who knows?

For some, the sasquatch mystery created
The Seattle Times a nice little cottage industry. Sasquatch
researchers and experts popped up all over.

Where are all those
Where are
sasquatch hiding out?
IT seems like only yester-
day that spotting a 10-foot-
tall, 900-pound sasquatch
romping through our foot-
hills was as common as an
Elvis sighting in a Detroit
supermarket.
How's that for a tabloid
lead?
Somehow, for unexplained reasons, the
fabled half-man, half-ape has gone into hid-
ing. Reported sightings have dropped like
the stock market.
The pages of The Times haven't had a
sasquatch-footprint report for 18 months.
And that one turned out to be phonier than a
three-dollar bill.
No, I don't believe in sasquatches. But
the sasquatch, aka Bigfoot, has become an
institutionalized part of Northwest lore.
There is the Bigfoot Car Wash, the
Bigfoot Inn and the 21-slice Bigfoot Pizza.
There is Sasquatch Publishing, the Spo-
kane Community College Sasquatch and a
dog act called the Sasquatch Agility Club.
And every time the Sonics play at home,
more than 14,000 see a sasquatch.
It was only fitting for the Sonics to jump
on the sasquatch bandwagon, with apish-
costumed "Squatch" replacing T. Wheedle,
the most meaningless mascot ever known to
mankind. And womankind.
Outside of the Coliseum, people have
been saying they've seen real sasquatches
for more than 200 years.
The 1970s were the salad days of sas-
quatchery. A 10-footer and an 11-footer
were reported near Darrington. A 9-footer
supposedly roamed the beach near Copalis.

A road near Humptulips was crawling with
them. There was an albino sasquatch near
Naches. They were in Walla Walla and White
Salmon. Everywhere.
The rash of sightings through the '70s
and into the 'SUS popped up after release of a
piece of 16-millimeter film shot in 1967 in
northern California by the late Roger Patter-
son of Yakima. It showed an ambling ape-like
creature that some experts believed was a
tall man in a monkey suit.
True believers still swear it's the real
thing. It wasn't me. I'm not that tall.
The last Bigfoot story in The Times was
in October of 1992. That one was a clunker
- an investigation of footprints near Marys-
ville. They were only 12 inches long and
were traced to a barefoot man in a camper.
Those footprints were too small for a
self-respecting sasquatch. They have at
least 18-inch tootsies, according to those
Peter Byrne was one of them. He operat-
ed a research project near The Dalles, Ore.,
from 1970 to 1979. then ran out of funding
and went back to Nepal as a guide for white-
water runs and big-game photo shoots. He's
back again, operating The Bigfoot Research
Project near Mt. Hood (1-800-BIGFOOT).
He said he had only five "credible"
sightings reported last year. And only one so
far this year. Where have all the sasquatch
gone, I asked him.
"People are reluctant to make public
reports," he said. "They don't like being
laughed at. They don't like being ridiculed.'
That's true. But sasquatch researchers
would rather be ridiculed than ignored.
The 68-year-old Dublin-born Byrne, who
looks and sounds like a Great White Hunter
from central casting, says private donations
funneled through the Academy of Applied
Science in Boston got him and three full-
time associates back in business.
Right now, people from the television
program "Unsolved Mysteries," which
loves sasquatches, UFOs and Loch Ness
Monsters, are with Byrne for his latest
tracking.
This time around, Byrne is steering his
sasquatch research down The information
Highway. He is computerizing all new and
past information to develop a pattern of
sasquatch behavior. He hopes it will lead him
to exactly where and when one should show
up.
Anything yet? "No, it probably will be
another year to 18 months before we can
expect answers from the computer.'
Byrne adds: "Some day you won't be a
skeptic." We've got a deal. I'll believe when
he troops a 9-footer into my office for a
handshake.
Until then, we'll just have to settle for
that Coliseum sasquatch wearing green and
gold.

LEGENDS:
Bigfoot Is Back
It was nearly midnight one evening
last week as Amold Kills Crow and Ce-
celia Thunder Shield strolled along a
path in Little Eagle, S.D., on their way to
the home of a friend, Dan Uses Arrow.
Suddenly, they heard a strange grunting
sound and the crunch of something mov-
ing in the sagebrush. They also picked
up an unmistakable odor of sulfur-ammo-
nia, sour and foul. It was too dark to see
anything, but they didn't really need to.
The couple ran to a neighbor's house and
called Lt. Verdell Veo of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs. Veo and two other men
jumped into his squad car and took off in
hot pursuit. They lost their quarry after a
twenty-minute chase through the hard-
scrabble terrain. "We could hear him
running through the brush," said Gary
Alexander, one of the pursuers, "and
boy, was he bellowing and shrieking!"
For nearly three months now, the
howling, foul-smelling mystery beast
has been a growing reality in and around
the Standing Rock Indian Reservation on
the border of North and South Dakota.
By all accounts, the beast is Bigfoot, the
legendary, shaggy, oversize manlike
creature known to the Indians of the
Pacific Northwest as "Sasquatch." He is
said to have been sighted at least 750
Mexico and from the Pacific Coast to
times in the past century, from Canada to
