I don't think he made up the Dan Hamilton Incident. I think he was fooled by someone else into believing that it was real when it was a hoax. No one could be killed by a bigfoot without the entire world knowing. As for the recent claims by Steve ..........it is kind of a coincidence that someone asks for an update and within 24hrs there is a claim of new footage. And like I said.....why release it to 50 people when you could make a documentary and sell it to the Discovery Channel

I'm not even going to try and figure out the deal with the "Hamilton incident", I don't even care. I couldn't care less about the location of "Sylvanic" or the tiny little cave entrance to it or whether or not the government has blocked access to it.
But ya, I'm not sure whether Todd would release any new footage to the public or even feel the need to come here and answer questions, concerns, etc. Personally I think that if he got footage that he felt was good enough he would continue his species protection effort....but what do I know.

Well at least this most recent news has breathed life back into this forum. I just hope that Steve has his information right.

Isn't it interesting how there is never any solid chain of details involving anything on this website, just vague sketches about information involving locations, people involved, etc. Except for this: we know all of the newspaper, Tv, and radio station names that carried this story, along with all the towns where the presentation was made. But about the location of Sylvanic? "Somewhere in the Rocky Mountains". That's like saying. "somewhere on the north american continent. Or how about the name of one expert that has accompanied Todd on one of his "numerous expeditons"? Supposedly scientists, jounalists, etc., have accompanied him. Why hasn't one of them come forward? Who are all of these people? Todd has cited dozens of experts doing everything from analysing his videos to searching last summer all over the country for more domiciles. Who are they, and what's to be gained from hiding their identities? Maybe the right question is this: "Do they even exist?" Just remember, true discoveries are backed up by solid, detailed, verifiable information, none of which I've seen here except for that involving the name of the latest newspaper that printed these shadowy discoveries....

Continuation of above statement: Concerning vague people, who is Steve? Why did he get a phone call and post it here and not Todd himself? I'm sure Todd has his computer rigged for all activity on this forum. Just another sketchy detail that we're supposed to accept at face value, no questions asked.
One more thing- Todd claimed to know that there were troops of these creatures and also when and where they moved, like out of the mysterious Sylvanic valley, or only at night and had, "day watchers". How could you know all of these minute details and still are only able to get a couple seconds of blurry footage? Wouldn't you have a good camera with a zoom lens with you and all of your expedition members at all times and document every encounter with these creatures? There are just too many things that don't make any sense, and what's even more puzzling, the true believers don't even care about any of the details, just blind faith in the new Sasquatch Guru of the moment.

I don't have blind faith, but I do have an open mind. I'm just waiting to see what comes out next. I don't care whether it's Todd or some hunter with a trail camera, I'm just curious to see the next footage available. Even if nothing new does come out, it really doesn't impact my life too much.

BTW, "The Truth" why do you care about this whole BF thing? Personally I've had some things happen out in the woods, but if not for that I would have no interest in this. What interests you about BF? Do you even have any interest in BF or are you just so opposed to the idea of BF that that feeling of opposition or that it is sooo ridiculous drives you to post what you post?

I was a true believer when I was 11 years old. As I mentioned elsewhere on this forum I was one of the privledged few to see the actual presentation done by Roger Patterson of his footage back in 1967 at the Spokane Coliseum. It truly captured my imagination at the time and I devoured everything available in my local libraries. Now, many years later with the internet as a resource, we're able to see any and everything done in this area in the last 40 years. Sorry to say, there hasn't been much progress and now, with an adult perspective, I can look at this and say, "Why nothing more than a few blurry videos of something that is 8 feet tall and weighs 800 lbs., and lives no more that 100 miles from where my house is! The stark truth is that it is nothing more than an elaborate urban myth blown way out of proportion by people that want to "will" it into existence. My interest now is in the phenomena of people that are trying to pull a big one over on the likes of you and me, namely types like Tom Biscardi and Todd Standing. It's one thing to have interesting conversations about what "could be", but entirely another to create an elaborate hoax with all the trimmings for reasons of publicity and financial gain. What makes these people tick and what makes them think that they can pull this off in today's world where everything is evaluated by the scientific method? Naivity? Lack of education? The knowledge that a "sucker is born every minute?" If I were pursuing a PHD in psychology, I'd do one on Todd or Tom, it would be facinating. I guess now I'm just interested in how Todd will dance around what he's gotten himself into, the human mind is very resourceful and ingenious...

One more thing for those of you who care to read this. I fully expect to be "banned" again from this forum as I was twice before for stating the obvious once again. But judge for yourself. Are my posts hateful or full of foul language? I'm just trying to approach this matter from a subjective and reasonable viewpoint with a little wry humor thrown in for seasoning, which I guess scares the moderator of this forum. As soon as he decides to look at this forum again, sure as rain I'll be banned and my posts disappear. Remind you of anything, say socialism or facism where dissenting viewpoints are quashed? Mark my words...

I know that when I was banned I really deserved it so I think if you keep your comments semi-respectful you will be allowed to remain. Has anyone noticed that the Dan Hamilton incident header and comments was removed from the forum? Interesting. As far as the alleged new footage I will try to keep and open mind but expect to be disappointed.

Thanks "The Truth", I appreciate that you explained that! I'm kind of with you I guess. There are things that make me think, "Man BF HAS to exist", but in the end nothing ever turns up "proof-wise" that can hold water. I guess I see your motivation....you are thinking that Todd is totally blowing smoke and it kind of irks you. Well I guess I deal with that by not taking any of the BF guys too seriously. I do like to examine "the evidence" though. It would be cool one day to see a picture, video, etc that really shows that BF exists.
P.S. On the banning stuff, I dunno that's up to Todd/Ken as it's their site I guess.

In a previous post Steve indicated that within a week Todd will post new video showing a BF wading through a shallow river as well as a clear facial shot. That was last Sunday so this should happen in 4 more days.
