bigfoot’s prayers
the wind sings
as it blows
about things
we do not know
of its history
the time is long
of its mystery
the rhyme is strong
blows on the hills
& over the knolls
knows how we feel
in our souls
in the in between
calls at the door
it has seen
it all before
it is freeing
the blind to see
like the being
behind the tree
all of his prayers
it has known
as thru his hairs
it has blown
At the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest last Saturday I met and briefly spoke with one of the speakers. His name is Jeff Meldrum. I was very impressed that they brought him in to speak. He is a highly respected and known researcher with academic and scientific credentials. Very often people with science and academic credentials are terrified of being associated with anything to do with bigfoot because of the damage that the perception will do to their careers. A lot of what they do depends on securing funding and good luck with that once you become associated with bigfoot.
Probably the most impressive proof that exists about bigfoot is the Patterson-Gimlin film from October 20, 1967. It was shot at Bluff Creek, California. Growing up I had a wonderfully colorful uncle named Bob. Uncle Bob probably is deserving of his own blog. I am sure that the stories and antics from his life time could keep me busy for a long time. And as far as entertaining, I am sure that he could give bigfoot a run for his money. The reason I bring him up is that I remember him loading me up along with his two kids and wife into either a single cab pickup truck or a Ford Torino and taking us to a theatre in St. Paul, Virginia to watch the “Bigfoot Movie.” Everybody should have a colorful uncle. Every kid should be so lucky!
For years there has been a giant debate about whether or not the film is a hoax. And that is the topic of today’s video. It is a short clip but the speakers are giants in the world of bigfoot. Meldrum is the only one that is still living.
The link for the video (4:08 minutes) is below. I hope you have had or have a colorful someone in your life that has left you with memories that make you smile. Or even better maybe you are or could be that for someone else. Enjoy the video.
