Bigfoot Cast Collection Appears On Website

[William Parcher]

To bad we'll never get a survey of all the "casts" to chart the variety of sizes and shapes. That would be embarrassing for believers.

(Of course, now that I've said that somebody will gen up a survey, cherry-picking the available casts and choosing the similar ones. They will then say, "See? I told you so.")

Virtually any Bigfoot believer could look at that silly cast and say that they would never have even poured plaster into that thing. They might go on to say that it is a Bindernagel brain fart and is limited to him. Maybe he was drunk or something. They may even say that a lot of Bigfooters are crazy fools. Then they will tell you about the Bigfoot that they saw themselves and how it certainly exists no matter what the skeptics think or say. Tear Bindernagel apart if you want; but Bigfoot exists.

And so it goes on for another year. And it will go on for more decades even. It may go on forever.

Bigfoot exists.
No it doesn't.
Yes it does.
No it doesn't.

What is this? Is it a butt impression?

 

[Bitter Monk]

What is this? Is it a butt impression?

That's Freeman's butt impression.

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

What is this? Is it a butt impression?

What kind of crack is that?

I don't think so.

A vocal pro-bigfoot poster more than once wrote that some of the best evidence came from Freeman and also about the "anatomically correct" female bigfoot buttprint and many other nonsensical things.

As DY pointed out, footers poured plaster in an elk lay.

Do I need to remind that a certain prominent figure within bigfootery once suggested Patty's torped boobs were vocal sacs?

Remember also that in the days before the GAboyz "revelation" a couple of pro-bigfoot posters reappeared, eager to see skeptics eat the crow.

Within bigfootery, there's market for all sorts of stuff, ranging from a skeptical point of view to tales about garlic-eating "habituated" bigfeet. Garbage composes the bulk of it, however.

But that's really what all the fun is about, isn't it? I mean, if Bigfoot gets 'found' - POOF - no more bashing, no more joking, no more hatin' and no more bananas for us. It's curtains baby. "Oh hey, you hear they found Bigfoot?" "Yeah!" "Cool. So, what about them Chargers?"

 

[William Parcher]

Is the 1988 Bindernagel cast just another modified Wallace? Note the similarities other than the toes. I feel that the cast Patterson is holding is a Wallace with modified (improved) toes. Is the Bindernagel another variation of this? Start with a Wallace stamping and then go freestyle custom with the toes?

Well, I can't think of any reason that would justify Meldrum trying to withhold this information.

 

[William Parcher]

Can you name anyone else in all of Footerville who has had more success finding bigfoot evidence than Mr. Freeman? Ass print, knuckle prints, hair samples, feces, numerous footprints, a video, and multiple sightings... the guy was an effing bigfoot magnet.

Ray, I think Bob Titmus had more "evidence finds" than Paul Freeman. Not for variety but for actual numbers. In his own words, he tracked Bigfoot on at least 300 occasions. He lost great numbers of plaster casts to a fire, so we don't have these now.

Can you actually quantify Freeman as a bigger magnet than Titmus?

 

[William Parcher]

Here is one reference to Titmus tracking Bigfoots.

Titmus himself says "by tracking it hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of times over a period of 26 years".

 

[DennyT]

Wow - I didn't know bigfootii had antlers - and look at that bulbous nose! Where the heck are its eyes???

by your logic, Freeman did a cast of a faceplant!!

Here is HB May's cast collection

Wonder who made the squiggle foot?

Which one is squiggle foot?

 

[William Parcher]

Hodgson's 1963 cast is a Wallace Alderfoot.

I agree with that.

 

[William Parcher]

He's probably talking about the Heryford cast which has the squiggly outer edge.

Attached shows left and right...

These tracks were collected in 1982 by Deputy Dennis Heryford of the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Department in Washington State. These tracks are regarded as some of the best Bigfoot casts every made due to the credibility of the officer involved, the specific 'mushrooming' of the toes (difficult to hoax), and the texture/bulging features shown in the tracks, demonstrating that these were made with live feet (not wooden fakes).

These casts have been endorsed by the International Cryptozoology Museum as a useful teaching tool in classrooms.

 

[William Parcher]

You should check out the plaster cast made by Dr. John Bindernagel in 1988 on Vancouver Island. Wow, it sure does look fake.




The toes. You have got to be kidding. Somebody gave this man a doctorate degree?




There are some other interesting casts at this site with large high-resolution pictures.

The same fella Dr. John "Bootprint Bigfoot" Bindernagel just put out a new book The Discovery of the Sasquatch.

In The Discovery of the Sasquatch, biologist John Bindernagel reconsiders much of the prevailing knowledge regarding the sasquatch. Illustrating evidence which contradicts the widely held perception of the sasquatch as merely a cultural phenomenon - a myth, hallucination, imaginary being, misidentified bear, or hoax - he explains why criteria such as testability, consistency, predictive power, and simplicity actually support an alternative hypothesis: the sasquatch as an extant mammal.

This is a book about the sasquatch, but it is more specifically about the discovery process. It examines scientific and social factors that can prevent discoveries from being recognized, particularly when a discovery claim is perceived as unlikely, premature, or without a theoretical basis. Bindernagel examines how these factors have affected our perceptions of the sasquatch, and how they may have influenced scientific attitudes toward this controversial subject. By reconciling the social and scientific components of discovery, he shows how the various forms of evidence for the sasquatch can be viewed in the context of a prolonged discovery process. In doing so, he provides a bold new perspective explaining the need to reconsider - and perhaps challenge - long-standing prevailing knowledge about the sasquatch.
