It Has Been Proven That We’re All Psychic, and This Can Be Applied to Bigfoot Research


Russell Targ is a physicist and author who helped co-found the Stanford Research Institute’s investigation into psychic abilities. He worked there in the 70s and 80s. He also helped develop lasers and has had over 100 papers published on lasers, plasma physics, laser applications and electro-optics.

He was interviewed by Kim Greenhouse on It’s Rainmaking Time online talk radio where he stated “we’ve proven that psychic abilities are existing just as we’ve proven that lasers exist.”

He defines proof as “evidence so strong that it would be unreasonable to deny it.”

In his book, The Reality of ESP: A Physicist’s Proof of Psychic Abilities, he offers two types of proof: (1) data from experiments showing statistical reliability, (2) stories from the lab on successful experiments.

He explained that ESP is a normal way of functioning for us. It is an ordinary ability. People can learn to close their eyes and see things in a remote location or in the future. Remote viewing can be learned at a weekend workshop, Targ said. We can describe things on the other side of the world as easily as describing things in the next room. Seeing the future is equally simple.



Are you listening? If you want to find Bigfoot, if you want to know how they live and what they think about, you can do it from the comfort of the easy chair in your living room.

Likewise, if you want to know where you might be able to find them, you can learn this from remote viewing.

Russell Targ says everyone has psychic ability. Everyone! Remote viewing, he says, is a “protocol”. He doesn’t make a differentiation between psychic ability and remote viewing.

“Naming and grasping are the enemies of ESP,” he said. This was taught in ancient Buddhist literature. We must be careful to stay with psychic impressions, and not verge into guessing at things.

“Everybody can do psychic abilites to some extent, but some people are better at it than others,” Targ said. Advanced psychics are able to describe images in great detail. This is an intellectual descriptive skill that can be improved. There’s also an element of great talent as well.

He makes a differentiation between ESP and string theory as described by Michio Kaku. He says that “String theory is a model for the behavior of elementary particles, and that model may or may not be correct. The evidence for ESP is much better than the evidence for string theory. . . . . There’s now been fifty years of research showing that people can describe things a thousand miles away just as well as things in the laboratory.”

Psychic ability is non-local. There’s no degradation for visions of situations, places or events on the other side of the world as well as for those the future. This is mental time and space travel! Targ stated that “the future can affect the past.” Think about that! We live in a “non-local space/time” environment. You can learn more on this at Russell Targ’s website: ESP Research, or via his books.

No psychic education, for most of us

In using your psychic impressions, you’ll describe any images that pop up into your awareness. You’ll be using the right side of your brain, not the left side that is more pragmatic and intellectual in nature. In our schools we were trained to use the left side of our brains (language, math, science) whereas right-side functioning through art and intuition was not emphasized in our educational training. That’s what we need to develop in order to have usable psychic vision.

Maybe I’m good at this because I grew up daydreaming through my classes yet still was able to understand most of the lessons!

How I’ve applied my psychic ability to my Bigfoot research

What I’ve done is to scan the forest in search of a Bigfoot, then I’ve contacted that forest person via psychic thought. I always receive a response, though most are not immediately friendly.

One was a female Bigfoot who wasn’t open to talking to me because she’d been told to stay away from humans. I sensed some fear, and she said she’d have to ask her male companion for advice. At the same time, she became interested in being friendly with me on the psychic level.

Another was an elderly male who lives on a hillside near where I live. He has a home there, and watches people passing by on the river and the highway. He has no interest in further human contact.

Bigfoots have been taught that human beings are untrustworthy and dangerous. Can you blame them for thinking that? They’ve been shot at by frightened human beings. Their experiences with humans include people being frightened and running or using firearms. These stories are related between forest people and the young are told to stay away from us. They watch our civilization grow and expand while their territory is gradually made smaller. Maybe they don’t even like us! Maybe there’s an element of prejudice involved! I’ve had more than one Bigfoot tell me that they don’t want any contact with fearful humans. They would be more open to habituation experiences with people who aren’t afraid of them.

Psychic Bigfoot researchers

I suggest that any Bigfoot research team would benefit from having a psychic on board. Those of us who are already interested in contacting forest people and creating relationships can work on developing our connection to the psychic realm. Others who are not confident about their psychic research talents can team up with those who have some proven skill in this area.

Why I wrote this post

At the beginning of the interview Russell Targ stated that he’s “taking off the kid gloves” and at his age has decided that the right thing to do is to tell people the truth about psychic abilities. I’m in the same frame of mind. It is time I stop trying to fit into the crowd of Bigfoot researchers who insist on learning only from physical evidence. Yes, that’s one kind of proof. However that’s not all there is to it.

My goal as a Bigfoot researcher has always been to learn to communicate with them. I want to create friendships with these forest people, to learn how they think, and what they think. For me, psychic ability, ESP, is a valuable tool for Bigfoot research. Even if the forest people have a different language, I can clearly understand them through ESP.

Myron Getman’s Wakpominee Bigfoot Story


I agree with Myron Getman. He recently wrote an article for the Bent Spoon online paranormal skepticism magazine about his experience as a Boy Scout camp’s Nature Area Director. His story, Wakpominee Bigfoot, took place near Adirondack Park in Upstate New York.

The article is well-written and I suggest that if you have time you might want to go to the above link and read it. You can find more of Myron Getman’s writing at his blog: The Mad Skeptic.

Though I write a blog about Bigfoot I too am somewhat skeptical. You might call me a skeptical believer, because so many things I’ve been told have turned out to be very hard to believe. On the other hand, I tend to be a believer until a story goes beyond the point of believability. That’s happened to me often enough that I’m developing a collection of reasons to be skeptical.

Myron’s story did not include an actual sighting of a Bigfoot. It started when some fellow camp employees heard splashing on the opposite side of a lake, and thought some of the children might be out playing in the lake at dusk. Apparently it was fairly dark because when they went to investigate it was dark enough that they couldn’t see who might be there. When they heard what sounded like large rocks being thrown into the water, they panicked and left, assuming that Bigfoot was out to get them.

Then next day Myron led a nature hike into the same area and found what could have been a Bigfoot footprint. Yet now, years later, he has other explanations for what might have happened there. I don’t want to post a spoiler here. Go read his article and you’ll hear what his alternative explanations are.

As Bigfoot researchers we always should be cautious before believing. The human mind tends to go haywire when strange things happen in the woods. If we’re not in our safe environments (homes) we’re always slightly on edge if something unexpected happens. I know there are some of you who will say that you’re totally at home in the woods. I admire you! I am not that comfortable there. I love the beauty of the wilderness but would feel exposed and vulnerable if I thought something unseen was tossing rocks toward me – especially large rocks!

Bigfoot researchers need to always look for the alternate explanation of any story we hear. Of course, if the story includes an account of actually seeing a Bigfoot clearly and in a way that it couldn’t be a Bigfoot-shaped bear, I hesitate to simply think the reporter is lying. I would opt instead to think that person is sane and certain that a Bigfoot is what he saw.

The standard of proof for a Bigfoot sighting report is a gray area, as there are no set standards for verification. As Myron suggests at the end of his article, “Look at the people claiming to have seen it.” Sometimes the best way to substantiate a Bigfoot sighting story is to get to know the person making the claim.

Bigfoot Mind Probe Experience Redux


This is an extension of an earlier Bigfoot mind probe posting originally published in 2007. My own Bigfoot mind probes since that time have changed my thinking on the topic. I am a believer in psychic phenomena as I’ve experienced this many times, however the Bigfoot mind probe as explained by the blogger at http://www.brokenpants.com seems unlikely. I’m still somewhat on the fence, however, because I don’t believe I’m the one to judge the mental experiences of others. Under certain circumstances what he wrote is possible. I’m just saying, to my perhaps limited way of thinking, it is unlikely. First you’d have to encounter a Bigfoot who had an interest in probing the mind of a human. Then you’d have to have a human walking the Akashic Records through a Bigfoot’s total-species memory banks. How likely is that? I’m not saying it couldn’t happen.

My original post:

A blogger reported that in 1983 he was camping when a female Sasquatch held him captive and probed his mind. Then he probed hers. I don’t know if this is a fact or if it is great fiction, but I’d like to know more.

My most recent methods for seeking Bigfoot involve following instincts and vibes, and using psychic contact, so call me a believer; I think this could have happened.

The posting I’m referring to can be found here: Tragic

(I originally wrote that in 2007.)

After several years of experimentation with psychic contact with Bigfoot I’m going to say I think the mind probe story is unlikely. I realize that there are many levels of psychic awareness but the likelihood of a Bigfoot and human meeting and being capable of probing each others’ minds is slim. Perhaps if the human was tripping on a psycho-awareness drug at the moment it would have been more likely. If this was the case, would the drugged condition of the human attract the Bigfoot to him?


The extent to which the blogger claims to be aware of Sasquatch thinking processes and information makes the story he wrote even more unlikely. He wrote that he “found 14 new sciences, and their 1400 untapped technologies, in their unconscious collective”. That sounds like a lot of tripping through Akashic Records and a prolonged OOBE… how else would he have received all that extensive information?

I’ve had some psychic experiences that involve Sasquatches and they don’t strike me as scientifically knowledgeable or friendly. In psychic realms, just as in the physical realm, most of them just want to be left alone.

I had only one psychic experience wherein the Bigfoot wanted to know more about me. In that case, he asked me questions – he did not probe my mind. In every other experience the reaction I got was something like, “What are you doing here? I don’t want to talk to you.” So, needless to say, I didn’t continue the conversation. It isn’t my intention to go where I’m not welcome.

That said, it is a great way to learn where their habitats are. If I wanted to be intrusive I’d know where to go. If I were to go on a forest expedition I’d know in advance whether the location was worth visiting, in terms of Sasquatch population statistics.

So back to the question – can a Bigfoot probe the mind of a human being? I believe that’s possible with enough mental focus and concentration. Since Sasquatches are not distracted by television sets and iPhones they probably have developed better mental capacities than the average human being.

One more consideration is the imagination of the blogger at http://www.brokenpants.com. He’s an artist and cartoonist. Fascinating blog. Immensely creative, with innovative ideas making him a world-class cartoonist. Quite an amazing sense of humor!

Last October I visited Michael Rugg at the Bigfoot Discovery Museum in Felton, CA. I mentioned my email correspondence with Don Campbell, who died too young a few years back. I wanted to talk to him about Don because Don went to visit Michael at the museum before his untimely death following a swine flu shot. Long story… anyhow… Michael mentioned Don’s amazing imagination. He was another immensely intelligent and creative person capable of weaving a story – and many have been the times I’ve wished I had the courage to phone Don’s sister to ask what happened to Don’s handwritten novels. I still might, one of these days. I would like for them to be published. What’s the possibility of that?

So are creative and imaginative people less likely to be believed? This is one of those aspects of Bigfoot research that brings out the cautious skeptic in many of us. I don’t find any flaws in Don’s Bigfoot stories, or in the mind probe blogger’s “tragic” posting. Much of what he said was true. The idea that the US government scientists are polluting the Bigfoot species’ collective unconscious with their experimentation – well, that’s another possibility. I’d like to know your opinions on all of this!

Bigfoot Enhanced Sense Perception – It’s In Their Hair!


How does Bigfoot avoid us so well? Possibly they’re blessed with extra perceptive powers through their hair!

This week information about a hair study done during the Vietnam War era was made public. The military sought out Native Americans with “outstanding, almost supernatural tracking skills”. These men were recruited into the service and then failed to perform as spectacularly as they did previously.

Through extensive testing the military learned they lost their extraordinary skills and senses because their long hair was cut off. More trackers were recruited, some who were allowed to keep their long hair, and others who had it cut. The long haired trackers continued to do well in all situations set up to test their tracking and reaction abilities.

From the article:

“When questioned about their failure to perform as expected, the older recruits replied consistently that when they received their required military haircuts, they could no longer ‘sense’ the enemy, they could no longer access a ‘sixth sense’, their ‘intuition’ no longer was reliable, they couldn’t ‘read’ subtle signs as well or access subtle extrasensory information.

So the testing institute recruited more Indian trackers, let them keep their long hair, and tested them in multiple areas. Then they would pair two men together who had received the same scores on all the tests. They would let one man in the pair keep his hair long, and gave the other man a military haircut. Then the two men retook the tests.

Time after time the man with long hair kept making high scores. Time after time, the man with the short hair failed the tests in which he had previously scored high scores.”

Source: The Truth About Hair and Why Indians Would Keep Their Hair Long, published September 8, 2011 at Signs of the Times.

If one can trust this information it is clear that a Bigfoot, whose hair has never been cut, who has hair all over his body, is sure to have sensory perceptions that are much stronger than what we human beings possess. This accounts for their abilities to sense our presence, and to know when to hide from us. This may also be part of their reported psychic abilities including the way they can influence our own thoughts, instill fear, or cause us to freeze up.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on these ideas. Long hair – is it empowering? Is it part of our nervous system? What do you think?
