Bigfoot on video claim.

[rastaman]

At the link below, some Edmonton dude claims to have 12 seconds of a Bigfoot on tape.

Maybe Sean of the WCSRO can fill us in on this claim, since he is an Albertan researcher.

Seems a bit hokey to me, but I haven't seen the film.

Well being from Edmonton I have not heared of this or this guy although that means nothing.I might have to see this....

The "Sylvanic" video appeared on the web about a year & a half, maybe two years ago. The vocalizations on the video sound decent, but there is not that much to see. I have never heard of the man who is showing the video either.

Some of the members are thinking of going and watching the documentary. If I end up going, I'll post about it here.

Has anyone ever found out where this Sylvanic place is? I read that site year or so ago and it seems sketchy at best, to me. Does 'Sylvanic' even exist?

[Deleted]

Does anyone know where "Boss Mountain or Boss Valley" may be, it would seem that "Sylnavic" may be located close by.

You can see that video by going to WWW:Sylvanic.com and then to "media".

Although it kept cutting off when I was watching it, some may have better luck and see it more clearly.

Of what I saw, there is a definite movement of "something", eventhough the video is very dark.

I'm going to look for a small closed in valley on Google Earth right now, "close to the US-Canada border in the Rockies."

By the way, here is a link to the coordinates for Boss Mountain:

According to Todd the access to "his Sylvanic location" is at the foot of Boss Mountain, or accessable from there, in his web site reports at sylvanic.com.

Now we have the coordinates of Boss Mountain, where is that in relation to some known places in BC. What are the access roads, anyone living close by, can someone check it out?

Interesting.

[vilnoori]

Is it the right Boss Mountain? Is there more than one? The one I located does not seem too far from access roads. You can see it if you type in the lat and long lines into Google Earth. Unfortunately the area is not in high res. Looks like the valley he describes may be on the BACK of the mountain, and the more populated areas on the front. He describes a long, narrow valley with a very small enclosed entrance at the bottom. There is a stream/river in it, it also has caves and is lush with vegetation. It would be pristine, that is, not yet logged.

I believe according to those coordinates that the nearest towns would be 150 Mile House and Horsefly.

I am planning on attending the showing of Todd Standings film. I tried contacting him but had no luck.

I will hopefully have a review posted here on Thursday nite or Friday.

I checked out the sylvanic website and read thru all the stories. I did manage to watch the video on the site after giving it about an hour to load. It has a short clip of an animal which to me looks very similar to Patty in physique. Reading the rest of the site indicates there is another video (the one being shown in Edmonton I guess) which was taken from 30 yards away. I would like to hear what anyone seeing this thinks of it.
As to Todd Standings plan to tranquilize a sasquatch from this location, he must have a death wish. From his discription of the site, it is a stronghold - only one way in and out, although he tells a story of a rock climber who climbed down into it. I don't think sasquatch will make a distinction of one of there own being shot or tranquilized. He will not have a strong windowless log cabin as there was in Ape Canyon. He should focus on getting quality video as they don't appear to attack unless threatened.

[vilnoori]

If I could talk to him I'd strongly suggest a knock-out drug in food instead. Sasquatch merely goes for a snooze and you can still get your samples. Though I'm not sure about a tooth. Besides, what if he's wrong and it is not an animal but a different human type which has not developed culture?

Having went and seen "Sylvanic" I admit that I am dissappointed.

It is not the great footage we have been waiting for.

Half of the 30 minute film is a dramatization of an incident which supposedly happened to a group of young campers in the Sylvanic valley. This portion of the film was very poor to say the least. It was similar to a very short version of the "Blair Witch"

The never before seen "video 3" shows a bipedal figure filmed in the typical shaky, through the trees style. It is too inconculsive to say what it is. Unfortunately the rest of the film takes away the crediblilty of the sasquatch footage.

I'm sure there will be some developments as to the authenticity (or lack of) in the future.

[vilnoori]

My gut feeling is that the guy is authentic but is...overprocessing...it all. The presentation, the hype, the stories, etc. but I still think the experience at the basis might have something to it. So isn't it just a shame.

You know, he several times mentions the valley is not far from the US-Canada border. He also seems to be Albertan, and he mentions it "in the heart of the Rockies." That is NOT descriptive of Boss Mountain, it is rather descriptive of this area:

lat 49.040306 lat -113.999421

And, there is even a nice little "blind valley" in there, unlogged at the date of the satellite image. That's where I'd be concentrating if I lived nearby. I'd look for a canyon, with a rushing stream or creek, with striated mountain peaks at the head of a blind valley. There would be a closed shape to the valley (like a boat, if you ignore the possible twists and turns). Did you notice the sighting posted there on Google Earth (1997)?

The whole Rockie corridor is probably home for bigfoot at sometime during the average year.
we had something outside of our hunting camp east of the rockies by Sundre, a buddy of mine saw one glassing for elk west of Beaverlodge. when I was a kid I had a close call in either Utah or oregon, I honestly think they're nomadic and to attach some magical notion about some valley protected by some Sasquatch guardian in the far reaches of the wilderness is assenine, right up there with the shapeshifter stuff or the idea that the average hunter would cold bloodidly kill one.

Actually, the thought of one guarding a certain valley makes perfect sense. Some bears with stake out a certain area and claim it as their territory, they will also protect this territory with all they have.

So the idea of a Sasquatch finding an area and protecting it makes sense. Though I highly doubt there is anything magical about it whatsoever.
