Exploring the Mystery - Visiting the North American Bigfoot Center

[@IndridCool54]

Oh, too cool! I’m a regular listener to the Bigfoot and Beyond podcast with Cliff Barackman and James “Bobo” Fay! I’ve wanted to visit Cliff’s museum, but having a video with you as my guide is the next best thing! Thanks!

[@บัวสีโรเจอร์-ศ9ฝ]

Let's be clear about this, Bigfoot is absolutely not a Wookie that definitely did not escape from Area 51 where nothing ever happened. Another great video Steve 👍

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I bought a book at the gift shop listing Bigfoot encounters, and one describes Bigfoot getting off a UFO with some tools, and I'm pretty sure he's describing Chewbacca.

[@margaretmacinnes1519]

I recently was able to call the NABC, and Nico who is extremely knowledgeable and efficient, answered the phone. I live in the Northeast USA, and purchased quite a few books that day. They are wonderful! Thank you Nico and everyone else at the Bigfoot museum 🥰 Appreciate seeing this video 🕊

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I bought a really great book there on the Bigfoot Highway, which I'm hoping to drive next year.

[@kikufutaba524]

We have Bigfoot-like stories here in Japan also. They are called ヒナゴン (Hinagon). Though not as large as the North American bigfoot.

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I actually saw something about them when I was in the Hiroshima area awhile ago. I don't remember where exactly, but I saw a sign when we went on a hike somewhere and was quite surprised.

[@_Redmistseeker]

You said Caster Plasts, not Plaster Casts for the footprints, I thought I heard it wrong so I went back. Nope but it made me smile. Love the videos keep up the good work!!!!

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I didn't even notice that haha

[@thequeendt]

I had to replay to confirm that too. Gave me a good chuckle.

Bigfoot is real in my mind.

[@SpanishEclectic]

Hey Steve! I think this is one of your most entertaining videos! We have a friend who believes in them, and takes camera equipment on camping trips hoping for a sighting. He didn't seem like the type, lol. Butt castings, caster plastings, and a big old sculpture. And don't forget the socks!!! Thanks for sharing the smiles on this one! :)

Hi Steve. There is a really big 'statue' of Big Foot in Washington State not too far from you now. Go North to Interstate 5, get off at exit 49 and go East on HWY 506 toward Mt. St Helens. At a stop called "North Fork Survivors" you will find a very large 'statue' of Big Foot. P.S. I enjoy your videos, thanks for post. An Arizonaion surviving in Washington.

[@agento5952]

we have the almost EXACT same place here, in Bailey Colorado, called the Sasquatch outpost, it's very cool!

[@SidetrackAdventures]

I'll have to check it out next time I'm in the area. Hopefully this summer.

Love that we Fans can actually hear you doing your best to not break up laughing as you pointed out the alleged Bigfoot's Butt Print!🤣 Honestly, I would really enjoy that small museum with the detailed science accompanying the plastered objects! Too funny how Boring and Dull are integrated to the area with a possible shoutout to Bland, Australia too! This really was a cool episode Steve and you owned it too by having fun with us fans! When it comes to these types of "Folklore", Never Say Never is my way of staying neutral!😂I bet there are some townsfolk in Dull who have got some Serious Campfire "Stories"😉 Cheers From COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO👋

Just the video I was looking for. Thanks.

[@georgewhitehead8185]

At (2:17) "Caster Plasts." Hmmm...Those sort of look like Plaster Casts to me. Doctor George Whitehead. Now for a little history. Quite some time ago, I had a patient and his wife, and they were very hard core believers, and searchers, for Big Foot. They used to go on very well equipped excursions to search for him. I mean that they really took it serious, and they often regaled me with very interesting stories about Big Foot. I really liked them as patients, and hope that they are doing well. Actually I wish them much luck in getting a video of Big Foot, as this was their objective.

[@secretdaisy6484]

I don’t know if I could go to this museum. It would probably be too unsettling for me. There has been some collection of reddish hair found on a tree near where a Bigfoot 👣 was seen. Scientists were unable to determine what ‘species’ the hair represented and concluded it belonged to an unknown creature. Bigfoot 👣 is the only thing I’m terrified of. I’m not going camping 🏕️, backpacking 🎒 or hiking 🥾 alone in any park or wilderness area. Ever. I don’t want to have a Bigfoot 👣 encounter in spite of being somewhat curious. I didn’t know this existed and I’m sure I won’t be going there. 👍☮️🌞🌲🥾👣

[@SidetrackAdventures]

They may have had some of that hair here. If you have a fear of Bigfoot, you definitely want to stay away from this place!

[@mescko]

An ex-boss of mine has an native American friend who after an unrecounted-to-me experience, will *never* go into the woods again.

[@henrydunbar397]

Another Bigfoot museum is in Hastings Nebraska and the lady who runs it is a real believer. So if you get bored driving on I-80 its a few miles south in the middle of the state. Just based on the comments here Bigfoot must have traveled coast to coast. 😀

I wish I still had the butt print from where Bigfoot sat on the copier at the company Christmas party. You know how accountants can be when they have a couple of drinks. He was so embarrassed he moved into the woods and vowed never be seen again.

[@CarlaFinley]

Big foot is in Forks Washington.

[@angelafender]

My mom worked an owned the local bars in that area. I was born an raised. Heard stories of him my whole life. So I do think yes in some form of it. I remember a conversation I heard of two men laughing at their neighbor and him being crazy and going on about big foot. I guess these men at night would make tracks for him with a big wood cut out. An watch the neighbor freak out in the morning an show everyone. See he's real ..then they go to the bar an they laughed. I might be the only one who knew that information 😂. Ohh weird small towns

[@Steve-ow4jt]

I loved the video. Even though Bigfoot is like aliens in my mind, I'll believe they exist when I see them, I'm still a hopeful skeptic. Keep up the great videos, stay safe and God bless. Steve in Oklahoma

Way on the other side of the country in Blue Ridge, Georgia is a Bigfoot Museum a little more off the beaten path about an hour from Atlanta, albeit by a major (non interstate) highway. It is similar to this one, with more concentration to Southern Appalachian and Florida (Skunk Ape) sightings. No Butt cast, but...we got that beat...a two feet long bigfoot turd!😂

When were you here? Were were in Boring just 3 days ago. My wife grew up less than 2 miles from the Center. Back then, Boring was a lumber town, with all the amenities that lumbermen look for. We first visited the Center when it was still very new, and do fairly often. Didn't this time due to schedule issues. Remember, Gorillas were mythical just 150 years ago.

I live in Twentynine Palms and had never heard of Yucca Man. There were even stories of an entire family of them. The stories go back into the 1800s.

Since you went to this Bigfoot museum you must go to Roswell NM. Not only do you have the UFO stuff you also get Billy the Kid and Pat Garret history and there is museum there dedicated to Robert Goddard, the father of modern rocketry. I went for the UFO stuff but found so much more! I took a guided tour that at the time cost 100$ for 4 people and the tour guide talked about all of the above. Definitely worth the money! Peace!!

[@conniewojahn6445]

The "statue" outside the museum isn't a statue, it's Big Foot petrified and turned into stone when he saw the destruction of the forest around him and the paved parking lot where his home used to be. The statue inside is the Big Foot who was the cousin of the one outside, and was petrified when he saw what happened to his cousin. The smaller statues on display inside are baby Big Foots who turned to stone when they saw what happened to their bigger cousins. What's not there (yet) is mamma Big Foot. She's still out there, plotting revenge for the destruction of their home and the petrification of her clan by thoughtless humans. Best not to stick around.

One example of Bigfoot tool use. A very distressed Bigfoot was running through the forest and ran into a rabbit. The rabbit asked, "What's the hub, bub?". The Bigfoot said he had a personal issue and asked the rabbit, "Do you have a problem with your fur getting dirty?" The rabbit said no, so Bigfoot wiped his butt with the rabbit.
