Canadian Native Women Missing
By Linda Martin – © 2009
A shocking fact: 550 native aboriginal Canadian women have gone missing since 1970, 245 of those since 2000. From the news article: “…if those numbers represented any other community the outcry would be enormous but because they are aboriginal, their cases are being overlooked.” (From MP Neville wants Ottawa to look into disappearance of aboriginal women)
A Canadian Bigfoot researcher plans to look into these disappearances, to see if there might be any indication the wild men of the north might have kidnapped any of these women. Read about it on the Bigfoot Forums, here: Indian Women Disappearances in Canada.

Possible Stoneage Bigfoot Footprint, Revisited
On August 9 I reported that a Canadian news service ran a story titled, Is Bigfoot’s footprint preserved in stone?.
My original blog article: A Stoneage Bigfoot Footprint?
Yesterday this article received a comment with a link to photographs of the object, for your consideration: Unknown Print Found In Northern BC Canada – Photo Gallery & Press Releases.
My take on this is that the footprint could come from an ancient human, or from a bear. There’s no way to discern that it could be from a Bigfoot. Perhaps the fact that it has only four toes suggests that it could be Bigfoot, as there are reports of large creatures leaving less than five toes in their prints. Also there were many animals existing back at the time of the formation of this stone that no longer are with us… dinosaurs, sabre tooth tigers, etc. …and quite possibly many species we are not aware of.
I consider the footprint rock to be an object of interest, and am glad to see the owner has created a website showing this object clearly. However, proof of what it is could be a long time coming.
The last possibility is that this print isn’t a print at all, but some other type of anomaly. Please have a look at it and tell me what you think: Unknown Print Found In Northern BC Canada. Note that the author of the website didn’t go so far as to declare it a possible Bigfoot print, as did the author of the original CanWest News Service article.

Bigfoot Songs – Tom Yamarone
Tom Yamarone’s blog, Bigfoot Songs, chronicles his many squatching expeditions, participation in conventions, fortuitous meetings with Bigfooting friends, . . . and music. Tom is Bigfoot’s bard so there’s music throughout this blog. We’re talking lyrics, photographs of his performances, music videos, and sound files. He even plugs other Sasquatch singers and songwriters.
After reading the entire blog this afternoon I’m left with the impression of a busy family man who likes to get away on back-country adventures with his Bigfooting buddies, and who stays busy in the Bigfoot community by helping to organize conferences, large and small.
Some of my favorite articles in his blog:
A Visit With John Green in 2005 – and a photo of a reverse copy of the Skookum cast.
A Virtual Tour of the Bigfoot Discovery Museum in Felton, CA – Tom has done a lot to promote this museum!
Operation Odyssey II July 20-22, 2007 – a weekend of practicing field techniques.
Jerry Crew Knew What To Do – in which Tom tells us how he got to talk to Jerry Crew’s son, and what he said.
One more cool link – Tom’s YouTube archive: Bigfoot Songs
Months ago I visited Bigfoot Songs, then saved my pennies and bought Tom’s CD, which is a trip into Bigfooting history. You can listen to a few clips at his site: Songs For A Bigfoot World – CD. Through the songs you’ll learn about Albert O., the Skookum Cast, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, and Bigfoot himself!
In mid-June 2008 I got off work and went to Parry’s Market here in Happy Camp for something cool to snack on (Sweet Nothings – they’re organic and I’m addicted to them during the summers.) When I got to the checkout counter there was a young man in front of me – someone I didn’t know. Roberta, the cashier, said, “Linda, someone was just asking about you!” She started calling for this unknown person and he emerged from the produce aisle. It turned out to be Tom Yamarone, who I’d never met until that day. The man in front of me at the checkout counter was Bart Cutino.
Tom knew of me from this blog, and I am so happy that he thought to ask Roberta about me. Obviously there was some synchronicity going on or I wouldn’t have crossed paths with Tom and his friends, but fate directed me to go to the store at just the right time for this happy event to take place. The others who were in the store with Tom and Bart were Wally Hersom and Cliff Barackman. What a wonderful thing for me, to get to meet all these outstanding Bigfoot researchers all at one time. And it was totally unexpected!
We walked out in front of the store and asked Virginia, another of the Parry’s Market cashiers, to take the photograph (below) of the five of us using Tom’s camera. At the time I asked his permission to use it on my blog, and he assented, then sent me a copy in email. Then my computer crashed. I was thrilled to find it again in a slide show on his blog’s June 2008 page.
From left to right: Cliff Barackman, Bart Cutino, Linda Martin, Wally Hersom, and Tom Yamarone. They were on their way home from a BFRO expedition in Oregon. I should call this photo “My Lucky Day.” I hope I’ll get a chance to see them again soon. In the meantime, a visit from Bigfoot would be welcome…- RIP Don Campbell – Bigfoot Researcher

Can You Believe It? . . . In Bigfoot Country?
They’re on the way north — to the KLAMATH! That’s according to the latest tweet from the Believe It Tour participants Mike Esordi, Diana Smith, and Brad Pennock.
They’re traveling through California to explore hauntings, mysteries, oddities, and BIGFOOT! Yes, the last leg of their tour will be here in the Klamath River Valley starting on August 16 when they arrive in Willow Creek for a tour of the Willow Creek Bigfoot Museum. They will also be visiting with Steven Streufert at his bookstore: Bigfoot Books where he sells books on all sorts of paranormal and occult topics.
After spending the night in Willow Creek they’ll be traversing the Bigfoot Scenic Byway to my hometown, Happy Camp, with a stop over at Bluff Creek to explore the site of the most famous Bigfoot movie ever made.
Here’s their blog: Believe It Tour …and their Twitter account: Believe It!
