Funny, because I watched this episode of In Search Of in 1976 with my Father when I was 5 years old. Remember it well. I asked my Dad if the creature was real, and he said he didn’t think so. Of course, my Dad was raised in the Tri-state area and probably never been anywhere else. I went to school the next day and asked my Kindergarten teacher the same question, and she gave me a children’s book….
“Monsters and Oil Wells Don’t Mix” by Wilma Pitchford Hays. I actually could read fairly well for a 5 year old, and I read the book several times….77 pages. I think that’s where my interest in the subject began. I always tried to remember what the name of that book was, and several years ago, I found it, and bought a copy on Ebay. It now resides next to my collection of other Bigfoot books, and is just as important to me….. along with of course… In Search Of…

WOW! That’s awesome Brian L. I was a young teenager and my brother a couple years younger than me. He loved planets of the apes. I didn’t. He wanted to watch stuff like this, I’d retreat to my room and music. I just did not believe in it until about 2012. At least looking into it. I love SC for all the relief he’s given to so many. And the truth coming out about what it’s all about. _m

uh, that was how it was growing up, but by 1976 I was already living in the SW.

I liked the shoot/don’t shoot arguments stated. Dr. Krantz response was very cold. I get it though. He wanted to be the one to take credit and recognized for the discovery and science he knew about these subjects back then. Im sure, like Dr. Meldrum (RIP both of you) Grover Krantz took a whole lot of flack from academia and the public. The Greeks must have sent some ships down the Northern West Coast of Africa at some time to know about the lowland Gorillas, which the natives would have told them about, just like they did the Romans a few centuries later. Im not sure I saw this program at it’s first showing, very busy in 76 with College, full time work, and college baseball in the spring and summer, but I did at some point. However it was always about the Pacific NW, since I saw the P/G film in 1967 or 68 as a youth and in this program. Being in Michigan and a hunter, no one was talking about Bigfoot at least in Michigan. And yet, Wes had on Linda P. a few weeks ago that stated she and some cousins, saw a Bigfoot in the NE area of Midland County, where I grew up.

I remember this! I enjoyed the “In Search Of” episodes back in the 70s, and this was my favorite one, naturally. I was already obsessed with bigfoot by 1976, in large part because of seeing “The Legend of Boggy Creek” at a drive-in a few years prior (as an elementary school kid). Memories of simpler times…
