ModeratorNote: Related I wrote this a couple weeks ago. Linda P if anyone uses this back in Michigan they credit me. It is date time stamped.
The Buffalo Jump and the “Dead-Cat Bounce”
A buffalo jump was a hunting strategy used by Indigenous peoples of North America. Hunters funneled large herds of bison along a predetermined, one-way route and drove them over a cliff, where others waited below to harvest the fallen animals.The term buffalo jump can also be used metaphorically to describe victims being unknowingly funneled toward a point of no return through trickery, deception, or misdirection.
A related metaphor from the financial markets is the dead-cat bounce, based on the saying, “Even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height.” The expression describes a brief, misleading recovery in the price of a declining asset before its downward fall continues. It is sometimes called a “sucker’s rally” because the temporary improvement can entice people into believing that a genuine recovery has begun.
In Bigfootology, I use buffalo jump and dead-cat bounce as related metaphors for deceptive circumstances that may lure or funnel a person into danger while creating the appearance that the situation is improving or that an escape route remains available.
In numerous missing-person cases in which bodies have later been recovered, the official explanation is often accidental death. In my opinion, however, some of these cases leave more questions than answers. When similar circumstances, locations, injuries, recoveries, and official conclusions repeatedly appear across otherwise unrelated cases, recognizable patterns begin to develop. That is where the deeper analysis must begin.

Forensics showed the bones had been there six to seven years, race, sex, age of the victim could be identified. -(California)
Witnesses found the nude body of an eighteen -to- twenty -five years-old bearded WMA who had been deceased two to four weeks. Victim had a broken ankle, and crushed chest. The FBI got involved in this case. *See comment: FBI interest in case. Recall my mention of commotio cordis in previous postings. -(California)

Female child missing from campsite. * SAR workers found the victim five miles higher up the mountain at the 7,500 feet level. She was found in a crawling position. -(California)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back Story: I had a current or former SAR worker identify himself and estimate the number of searches he participated in and never encountered anything suspicious as I describe in my writings. Not sure how many have critical investigatory backgrounds either and I replied with this post.
-SAR can mean Search and Rescue or Search and Recovery –

ModeratorBill F– Did your opst vanish? I raad this: “I spoke DIRECTLY with one of the Park Rangers at Chickamauga Battlefield..
I have quite a few friends in that particular area.
What he told me was that some hikers were charged by a ” bear” but the idea was to keep it rather minor officially.. the official story is that there is a territorial Barred Owl in the area that doesn’t want people around. So they closed the trails.
Figures.. eh?
Damn 800 lb ” owls” again.
They didn’t want people scared of the ” bear” so the owl was picked

ModeratorHi Steve thanks for sharing that. I’ve never seen this before but I don’t watch a lot of videos. There are simply too many and I don’t have the time or patience to watch these all day. Was this about UFOS? From what I could gather this was about unnamed individuals questioning and gathering information about Bigfoots and UFOS is that correct? Was part II just like this episode?

ModeratorHello Bill F and Shannon– Good to see you guys pop in. About those links up above: “Reports of Aggressive Wildlife” is a pretty vague for a reason I would think. Except electronic Media especially newspaper print media is a dying breed. They understand human psychology and the people’s natural curiosities. The editor must have had their arms duct taped to their sides in order to keep from having them spill the beans- because if they reported it, they already asked and they know the answer but were forced to keep their pie hole closed. —
If you muzzle, censor, or duct-tape someone—or otherwise keep information hidden from the public—how can anyone make an informed judgment when only one side has access to the facts?
In the above scenario it is like playing chess blindfolded while your opponent plays with full vision and no such constraints or handicaps.
In what world, in what reality of sportsmanship is that fair? Is that what you would call a level playing field?
In one of the links it spoke of an individual all broken up. When I see these I am of a native Indian referred to as “Buffalo Jump.” I believe Sasquatch uses that too.

Moderator2025 June 15, Sedona, Arizona
Three witnesses said they were helping search for a missing female camper when they observed what they believed was a Bigfoot.The reported location is Yavapai County, Arizona, approximately 8.5 miles north of Sedona, in the forested/canyon country sometimes referred to as the “Edge of the World” area.
The witnesses were Amber Webster, her husband, and his cousin. According to Webster’s report, they were searching at night using a powerful spotlight. They reportedly saw the figure approximately 75 yards away. She described it as roughly seven feet tall, extremely broad, with white-and-brown matted hair. They watched it for several minutes before leaving. About two hours earlier, Webster reported hearing two hard knocks while calling the missing woman’s name.
The missing camper was reportedly found the following day in a canyon. Importantly, that establishes the SAR circumstances, but it doesn’t independently establish that the figure was a Sasquatch; that identification remains the witnesses’ interpretation.
The BFRO lists it as Report #78863
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTE: The purpose for me doing all this extraneous work is to demonstrate implicit “complicit” connections Sasquatch cleverly conceals. Bear in mind it takes a certain type of Naivete and or Artlessness to make claims “Bigfoot Never Attacks Humans, ” Unwanted touching and abduction are serious acts of aggression and criminal offenses, never to be minimized or mischaracterized as friendly gestures.

ModeratorAnybody have some leads on SAR (Search and Recovery/ Search and Rescue) encounters involved in Bigfoot Sasquatches…

ModeratorA Broad Range of Witnesses
It is remarkable that, after hundreds—if not thousands—of reported Bigfoot or Sasquatch sightings, the witnesses come from nearly every walk of life. Reports have come from people who are wealthy and people experiencing homelessness; from everyday families, attorneys, judges, police chiefs, and even convicted thieves and other criminals.Spanning all socio-economic lines
Witnesses have also included musicians, performers, professional athletes, professors, teachers, students, clergy members, prisoners, surgeons, nurses, television and radio personalities, tradespeople, scientists, Wall Street investors, financial executives, burglars, military officers, intelligence employees, and enlisted service members.Despite the variety and volume of these reports, many people continue to repeat the same familiar argument: that Bigfoot does not exist. Given the breadth of those who have come forward, that dismissal remains surprising.

ModeratorBack to Man Disappears off Tractor while Cutting Grass at Night
From “Bigfoot Outlaws Radio” ep. 21, part 2I read about it several times: Paulides, D. (2011). Missing 411: Eastern United States.p.127
Mike Hearon age 51 of Happy Valley, Blount County near the Smokey Mountains, on August 28, 2008. The vehicle was not an actual tractor but a farm utility vehicle, A Polaris Ranger ATV green in color. He had gone to the family farm to mow the lawn and bush hog with a pull behind bushog mower.
Google Happy Valley Tennessee you can get a pretty detailed map of the surrounding forest and area. Vast wildness. Mike Hearon is one of five unsolved mysteries of missing people within a 50 mile radius of where Dennis Martin the little boy went missing in June of 1969 from Spence Field in Cades Cove.

ModeratorKnobby & Steven B — Perfect attention to details guys!
In my opinion, After reviewing many missing-person cases, it becomes clear that even when a person is found alive, “success” can come with lasting emotional and social consequences.”
Gumshoguy, one story that fits that bill is of a lady in rural Texas who lived in fear of a sasquatch that twice abducted and raped her, and no one believed her. She ended up committing suicide.
Another Seems to me one investigator involved in the Dennis Martin allegedly met his demise in similar fashions as mentioned above previously in the Art Bell interview.

ModeratorGot it thanks! In my opinion, After reviewing many missing-person cases, it becomes clear that even when a person is found alive, “success” can come with lasting emotional and social consequences. The response to these cases is not always fair or equal. Too often, the people with the loudest voices—or the greatest wealth, political influence, or public prominence—receive the most attention and resources. In those high-profile cases, families may be able to appeal for extensive government, military, and search-and-rescue support. By contrast, the average citizen may not receive the same level of urgency, visibility, or assistance.
Success is determined meaning the individual is found alive is measured by certain conditions. Conditions that seem to influence search efforts:
• A quick initial response
• A large and coordinated search effort
• Overwhelming public, law enforcement, and search-and-rescue attention
• Access to specialized resources such as dogs, ATVs, aircraft, horseback teams, or military supportConsider how intense search efforts can resemble volcanic activity preceded by earthquake tremors. Witnesses near the outer edges of a search area sometimes report seeing creatures or movement they had never encountered before. These sightings may occur in daylight or at night, across lawns, roads, or wooded edges, in plain view of anyone paying close attention.
Now, insert Missing Person in place of volcanic earthquake tremors. In these moments, any usual caution or effort at remaining hidden seems to disappear. It can feel like a sudden revealing, as if the pressure of human activity has forced something normally concealed to move rapidly out of the way into the open.
Sasquatch Movement and Human Pressure
When someone goes missing, Sasquatches may know or anticipate that humans will respond. I am not convinced they all react in the same way or agree collectively on what to do. The decision to steal a child might not be shared by other Sasquatches and therefore they are returned. Some may prefer to remain in one location, especially if they are raising young, but heavy human activity may force them to move for safety.The noise, search teams, dogs, vehicles, aircraft, and people with guns may create enough pressure to trigger a mass exodus. This could help explain why, during periods of intense missing-person search activity, search-and-rescue workers sometimes report Sasquatch sightings, even if they are unlikely to speak about them publicly. ~ Val (Gumshoguy)

ModeratorMETAPHOR
Sasquatches don’t attack people, have Bigfoots ever harmed a person? When Questions and comments doesn’t quite add up. Grab your napkins—because you may be in for a big, heaping spoonful of Possum Soup.
For those unaware “Possum Soup” is my metaphor for misinformation, spin, or carefully packaged nonsense. When the curtain of transparency is drawn shut and the veil of open, free reporting is obstructed, you have to look beyond what you’re being served. Read the research. Analyze what’s actually being reported. ~ Val (Gumshoguy)

ModeratorKnobby et al: “was Mary’s view that making loud noise.” & “Coonbo theorized that perhaps some noises produce infrasound that might be disturbing them.” I happen t oagree based on my research. The of ATV, motor boats and motorcycle and even tractors where the numbers bear that out.
In the summary above the main point was somebody mowing grass with tractor down below the victim was mowing lawn but did not specifically describe a lawn mower or lawn tractor. When you this read remember the metaphoric “Possum Soup” Why Bigfoot Never Attacks Humans Aug 13 ep.
—————–Witness believes BF tried to suffocate him rather than punch or break his neck and still has multiple scars on my back and neck. Summer Ocean County, New Jersey

I live in a brand new development. The backyard was 40ft deep from the home, and the remainder of the back was all forest for miles. I was cutting the grass and doing yard work, the backyard was 40ft deep from the home, and the remainder of the back was all forest for miles.About 30 mins into my work I thought I had seen several bushes move, as though someone were running past each bush and rustling then. At first I just blew it off, but on subsequent passes with my lawnmower through my yard, I would see one or more bushes rustle, but there was absolutely zero wind.
Through the kitchen window my wife was on the phone, chatting away with someone, probably her sister, and she barely noticed that I was outside let alone cutting the grass.
When the rustling of bushes and trees continued on each pass, I surmised that it could be his wife’s cousin Joe, who liked to play jokes on me. So, I played dumb thinking it was him, and on one pass, what I thought was Joe jumped me from behind, putting his hands over my face so I couldn’t see. You know the joke…
I was expecting him to say, “Guess who”, but his hands felt “different”, kind of hairy, and he wasn’t speaking but he was breathing hard, with a low level guttural noise, similar to a growl. His legs were wrapped around mine, like someone would do when they jump on your back. I was still mowing but Joe’s weight was starting to pull me down so I grabbed one of Joe’s hands and I flipped him over my right shoulder, as I turned slightly to the right so he would not land on the mower. I realized that it wasn’t Joe at all. In fact, the person was not wearing clothes but was covered with hair!
The creature was about to charge me when my wife finally opened the door and said, “What the hell is that”, and as soon as she screamed that, this figure ran off as fast as it could into the woods and we could no longer see it.
When I had time to think about what had happened I concluded that the creature was a bigfoot. He was much stronger than me, even though I was as really lucky to be able to flip him. As [it] he ran he let out an incredible screech that we could bout understand.
Folks, there is no way this was a person. It was an actual bigfoot that attacked me. My martial arts training saved me, but others would have been as good as dead…
And indeed he did try to suffocate me, not “punch” the neck.
He used each hand alternatively in his attempts but I was able to manipulate the fingers on each hand as he tried. The scratches on the back occurred as he pulled back from my grip and his hands and nails released across the back, which I did not realize until later were a good cm deep. The attack occurred in very few seconds.
