Finding Bigfoot - NY Episode Video Debrief

This past New Years Eve, I invited a small number of bigfooters to my home in Portland, OR to preview the Season 2 premiere of Finding Bigfoot.  Among the noteworthy crowd were various friends of the 'squatch, including Craig Flipy, Guy Edwards, Thom Powell, Will Robinson, and Randee Chase.  Others that might have name recognition with you bigfooters were in attendance as well, but I'll leave that to the video.

After watching the New York episode, I let them ask me whatever question they chose, and the resulting video can be seen below.  It was a great way to usher in 2012, and I hope you had as much fun on that night as I did.  Happy New Year, everybody, and may it be a bigfooty one at that!

  2. That looked like fun. You and the team need to come squatching in Arizona. We have lots of sightings here.

  3. Looks like you all had a great time discussing the Squatch! I see that you had a few people there who are into Bigfoot. Have you ever heard of a gentleman by the name of Larry Batson? He is a wildlife conservationist and Sasquatch enthusiast who has spoken twice at our local library. He has been into it for a number of years. I wondered if your paths had ever crossed.Have a great 2012 bigfooting!

  5. As a bigfoot afficionado, I have Tivo'd and DVR'd all that is bigfoot and sasquatch. So many times I have seen investigators lose the trail during a chase. The New York episode made me think back to the movie Predator when the body of the character with the gatlin gun was stolen right from under their eyes and they realized it was in the trees. Bigfoot investigators loose trail because they take to the trees. We think bigfoot keeps running when really they go where we have not thought to look: up.

  6. Great work, Cliff! Here's my main frustration with the show, though, and it's certainly not the cast's fault. When something is heard, the sound occurs just once, quickly, such as the knocks and the howl on the January 1st episode. Before the viewer can even adjust her/his ears to take it in, it's over with. What we need, I think, is for the show to stop and replay these vital moments for us several times--increasing the volume and affirming that this is the genuine field audio, not a simulation--so that we can come closer to "being there," to experiencing what you experienced in the field. Otherwise the viewing experience is like trying to catch smoke in one's hand.

  7. Is there any way the future videos could be made available without the mind-numbingly repetitive musical track?

    I really wanted to watch the whole video, but couldn't tune out the music.

  9. Thanks for bringing back the debriefs. I appreciate your enthusiam and your willingness to acknowledge that everything you hear might NOT be a Bigfoot (though I know you THINK it is). A little objectivity aids the probe for truth.

  11. Cliff, I enjoyed the show and enjoyed your debrief.

    I wanted to make an observation about the clip provided in this episode. I have have watched this episode several times on my 46" Sony Bravia in High Definition, and I noticed something after playing the clip a few times and I am wondering if anyone else made this observation.

    Below the tree where the creature was swinging from the branches, I see what looks like a tent down and to the right slightly, and two dark shapes that resemble human heads and shoulders appear to me to be looking up at the creature. One looks to be sitting to the right and the other appears to be standing facing the tree.

    If my observation is true, that could mean that perhaps someone brought a chimpanzee up there and was giving it some rec. time.
