Last week on our blog, Bigfoot Ballyhoo, we received several sightings, current and from the past. What a joy it is to “talk bigfoot” with ones that have seen the animal and those who would like to see it. I wish to remind those that have seen the animal to take pride in that fact, for you are indeed few.

     Last week, we again talked about the Columbus Day Storm of 1962 and the dead bigfoot-type creature that was found on Dew Ridge Spur (Oregon), under a fallen tree. We were reminded that several people shot photos of the creature. So those photos are out there! Milt, left an informative comment on Ballyhoo, it in part reads: “... we all thought it would be all over TV and radio about it but we never saw anymore of it, ever. This creature was 7 or 8 feet in height and over 500 lbs in weight. It was a big animal with large arms and barrel-chested, it seems. Most of the damage to it was on the left side and mid-body.” Clyde J made this comment: “Somebody out there has pictures of that creature found in ’62. I clearly remember the Forest Service and some men from a college took pictures of that thing under the big tree.”

     These bones were traced to the Smithsonian. A Forest Service employee, on his/her own time, researched the subject and concluded that the bones were sent to the Smithsonian. A Forest Service File Number was included in the comment. That number is USFS/33058-45333-294734-19B. I emailed the Smithsonian, it is a vast organization, about the bones and got back that they didn’t have the bones and more-or-less, how could they have bones of an animal that doesn’t exist? It would be good if you too emailed the Smithsonian asking for information. Perhaps you can add information about all the photos taken. Feel free to use excerpts from this blog to make your case. If enough interest is shown, maybe someone at the Smithsonian will look into the matter. It is possible that a photo was also included with the bones. Wouldn’t it be outstanding if we, at Bigfoot Ballyhoo could help clear up some of the mystery of this animal? We talk about bigfoot; we’ve brought about change and now let’s find those pictures, and those bones!
