American Bigfoot scientists and researchers felt hoodwinked by
Russian Yeti event

Dr. Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomy and anthropologist
at Idaho State University, has spoken out about his recent
excursion to Siberia to examine the existence of the Russian
Yeti. Dr. Meldrum was a featured speaker at the Pennsylvania
Bigfoot Conference in Youngwood, PA on Sunday, October 23.
His conclusion: the yeti evidence was poor and he and other
researchers were brought to Russia to add credibility to the
local claim that yetis live in the area.

ETA: Still looking.
Mike Rugg has over 100 videos on YouTube; he's interesting,
down-to-earth IMO. His web site:

I am aware that no Bigfoots live in Europe proper, because it
is heavily populated. Apparently.
Wild men that may have lived there in mideval times (woodwose,
wudewasa) long ago retreated to the wilds of Russia.

FloralBunny: "I wish we had Rugg's opinion of Siberian Almas,"
If you mean the huskies, I don't know if Rugg has a dog.
Siberian wildmen mentioned below are news to me.
Cryptomundo: http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/siberia-ftprt/
... discussed “Siberian Neandertals” a year ago, in October 2007,
here. The notion there are unknown hairy hominoids in Siberia is
well-established.
The various reports go by different names. They are called Mecheny,
Mirygdy, Chuchunaa, Mulen, or Wildmen; some former Soviet Snowmen
Commission scientists and a few Chinese in the last century have
studied them. The Chuchunaa, the sometimes-raggedly-clothed, eastern
version of the Mirygdy, are sighted in Eastern Siberia.

Almasty?, Almas is singular?
"Bigfoot Research, the Russian Version" by Dmitri Bayanov
Book review, Mike Rugg, no mention of Almasty:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almas_(cryptozoology)#cite_note-1
"Almas, Mongolian for "wild man", is a purported hominid cryptozoological
species reputed to inhabit the Caucasus and Pamir Mountains of central
Asia, and the Altai Mountains of southern Mongolia."
http://www.unknown-creatures.com/almas.html
Interesting Sighting Details of the Almas
Almas is a Mongolian word for wild man. The plural term almasty
is derived from Russian, while other variations of the name are
almasti, almaslar, bnahua, and ochokochi, which translates as the
name for a forest deity in the West Asian regions, such as Armenia
and Georgia. Current accounts of the most recent sightings of the
almas locate it near the southern part of Mongolia, along the Altai
Mountains and the Tien Shan pass near the northern border of China.

Oonjerah: My own prejudice about undocumented APEmen or Wildmen is:
Probably more man than ape if they've eluded hunters for centuries.
Gorillas in Africa have tried this, too, but when they get found out,
are soon on the endangered list.
If the Wildmen are also endangered, it's not from being hunted by men,
but may be from destruction of habitat.

As I remember it from some years back I was up late one night listening to the all-night flying saucer show (Art Bell Coast to Coast AM or wotever)when someone came on the air who told a story of a couple of female "alma" creatures who were captured, kept caged in a town in Siberia, and eventually died there. From what the guest said, it wasn't the first time these beings had been seen in the area. Could he have had the name wrong, substituting one from another region? Dunno. Possible.
It has been so dratted long that I couldn't begin to guess at the name of the guest. There's turnover in these things, as in anything else, as witness even the hosts of the show.

from TheBigfootForums:
"my daughter who is in the Army Natl' Guard was stationed at Fort Lewis,
Washington was given a manuel of the Army Corp. of Engineers showing to
Flora and Fuana of the base before they headed out for recon, they were
shown in the manuel the Sasquatch and told that if they encounter such
creatures to just avoid them and leave them alone."
At Fort Lewis, WA, Bigfoot in an Army manual?
This is the 2nd report of it I've read. I looked it up on the sightings
data base, and yes, Fort Lewis/Pierce county WA is a 'Squatch hot spot.
Perfect terrain and climate for them?
In an update from Dr. Ketchum, when the DNA report is published, they will
also release “Hi-Def video of some sasquatch it’s quite remarkable. It’s
amazing.”

There is a lot of old, but-new-to-me stuff I've been reading lately. It is
not quite coherent yet; hope to comment on it later.

Communication?

"We have verified that these creatures use language by the human
definition of it. The months of hard work that we have put into the
study of the Berry/Morehead tapes is finally coming to fruition.
The analysis is finished, although I am still working on parts of the
final write-up such as frequency count tables, morpheme lists, etc."

Sasquatch Genesis - the Origin of Bigfoot
The Theory of Human Hyridization with an Archaic Hominin Lineage
David Claerr, Yahoo! Contributor Network - Dec 5, 2012

?cat=37
The Footers (community of folks interested in Bigfoot, includes
dissenters & proponents) and the Scoffers (columnists who regularly
ridicule the possibility of Bigfoot) have really been stirred up by
the announcement that DNA proof of Bigfoot will soon be published.
That's a long read & I've waded thru some of it, tho I have no
patience with the ridiculers. They are disrespectful and don't
deserve my attention.
The article linked above is the best one I've seen since Dr. Ketchum's
press release on Nov 24th.
Will the Sykes/Satori study, which also tested Bigfoot samples and
could be released even before the Ketchum study, be able to support
Ketchum's findings?
I seriously doubt it. Sykes-Satori, as I understand it, are testing
only mitochondrial DNA, which you can get from a hair shaft, and it
is very reliable: not subject to contamination. They are not looking
at nuclear DNA at all. According to Dr. Ketchum, Sasquatch mitochon-
drial DNA shows up as human ... could be why the dozens of tests
done on it in the past were tossed out as, "Nothing to see here."
The Sykes-Satori study isn't about Bigfoot in particular. It's about
cryptid homonids in general: Yeti, Yeren, Orang Pendek, Almas as well.

Oonj: How to preface this? It covers several aspects of current Sasquatch
news + some of the candidates for his ancestry. Pretty interesting.
When will Dr. Ketchum's Bigfoot DNA paper be out? Unknown.
The leaked-3rd-hand, peer reviewer's objection to it made 0 sense.

George Knapp interviews Dr. Melba Ketchum on Coast to Coast,
Sunday night, Dec 23-24. - Move the timer to 1 hour in.
They discuss her paper on the Bigfoot DNA study.
The paper isn't published yet, but already is controversial.
