MY LIFE WITH BIGFOOT

Chapter One

The New House

I had heard about Bigfoot, and had seen some videos on television and on a few of those computer video sites. All of them were kind of blurry, or too quick, and most of them were purely phony. A few of them looked real to me. I kind of accepted the idea that there might be, and probably was, a creature as yet unstudied, that was some type of anthropoid creature that lived out in the middle of nowhere and kept far from man all the time, except when man encroached on his territory.

I knew that Indigenous Americans had encountered creatures that they had called Sasquatch. I had heard my older brother talk about The Abominable Snowman, or Yeti, somewhere in the Himalayas. That was a long time ago, though. He had one of those little things he brought home from junior high school, a little magazine that was published once a week, with all kinds of little news stories about different things. And, the story was in the little thing, the story of the Yeti, the thing the locals called the abominable snowman. The advent of this little article appearing in that magazine was interesting in another way. I was six years younger than my oldest brother. I was in the third grade, and he was in the ninth grade. I read that article out of interest. And then, I read the entire little magazine. After that, I read my other brother's copy of something else. I found out that I could read, with interest, things that were not even intended for my age group. That started me on a life time reading frenzy that exists to this very day.

Of course, I was young, and it it scared me. Just the name scared me. I thought it might be some kind of monster or something at the time, and of course, I thought that the monster was going to come and get me. But, alas, I really had no idea what the whole story was. Otherwise, I would have not been so frightened by the name. A name like that would frighten just about any six or eight year old kid.

Throughout my life, I had heard the tales, saw the oddball news reports now and then, and read the news stories with tongue in cheek. I had heard about it now and then, and then again and again, it seemed, every six months, there was a news story on television or in the paper about Sasquatch or Bigfoot. I really had no idea what to think, and didn't think about it very much. I really didn't register much of an opinion, other than think that whoever reported it was going to be ridiculed and laughed at. When the news stories would show up, I would read or watch them with a little bit of doubt, and, I admit, a little bit of I wish it were true.

I lived in a suburb of Los Angeles, and the likelihood of my seeing one there was nearly out of the question. I lived smack dab in the middle of a megalopolis with ten million people and nearly as many cars. It was wall-to-wall concrete freeways, highways, buildings, apartments, businesses, and a few local parks. So, I had no particular feeling about whether Bigfoot did, or did not, exist. It wasn't a burning question for me, that's for sure. And, I never really believed, nor disbelieved whether they did or did not exist. I know that one famous anthropologist believed they existed, and that they should be put on the endangered species list, and that it should be illegal to kill one. Jane Goodall, of the Gombe Stream studies that she had done with the chimpanzees, said that Bigfoot clearly existed and needed to be protected by the US government as

Reviews for My Life With Bigfoot

[MARTY THOMAS · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

What could have made an interesting report had it been written by a professional, was awkward and boring. Since I'm interested in the subject, I skipped through the pages looking for information about his encounters with bigfoot only to find I had wasted my time. Why was this published?

It took A While for the author to discuss Bigfoot, & this could've been half as long (or even less...!) The last chapter is the newsiest. Otherwise too much detail about unimportant stuff (like one chapter on chickens that had no relation to the rest of the story). Fyi, in any event.
