As Team Squatchin’ USA continues to gain momentum as a Facebook group, there became a growing demand for Dr. Matthew Johnson (Dr. J) to create a storehouse for the evidence he has gathered at both his Southern Oregon Habituation Area (SOHA) and his Washington Habituation Area (WAHA). TeamSquatchinUSA.com became the online home for storing and organizing his research data.
With a name like Team Squatchin’ USA and the Red, White and Blue motif, the Fourth of July is an extremely timely date to launch the website.
Even though Dr.J has a lot planned for the future of the website there is already plenty to explore. Here is a quick guide to the website so far.
DR. J’s Encounter (http://teamsquatchinusa.com/dr-js-bigfoot-encounter/)You read articles and watch videos regarding the encounter that started the personal journey for Dr.J and also transport yourself back to the time when his encounter was covered by USA Today and Coast to Coast AM with Geroge Noory.Southern Oregon Habituation Area (SOHA)
You can see a slideshow of the pictures, but we are really excited about the audio. Listen to the whispering juvenile.
There is a lot more where that came from. Check out the other SOHA Recordings.

Bet he can’t hoop like Julius Erving (the REAL DR. J).
I saw Dr. Johnson last night on Joe Rogan Questions Everything. He was not particularly credible. He wore a very ill-fitting and sloppy tee shirt over jean shorts and looked like a trailer park slob, not a child psychologist with a Ph.D. Defenders can comment (with some validity) that one should be above caring about image and should avoid being silly, shallow, and judgmental. However, a highly educated professional who is supposed to be an expert on human behavior should be aware of the importance of first impressions, credibility, and looking the part. It’s a very rare person who has a doctorate degree who does not want people to take him or her seriously and image does matter. It’s one thing for an entertainment industry personality like Rogan to wear a tee shirt (probably a trendy, $70 designer tee shirt) but for a highly educated professional to look like that going on television signals something is just not quite right. I’m no fashionista and not a snob, but I would have expected any person in Johnson’s position to have worn at least some sort of collared shirt and maybe a pair of Dockers. What normal person, particularly a professional who would be concerned about his reputation and credibility, wouldn’t want to look respectable in a television appearance?
He also did not seem as believably articulate in describing his habituation encounters as I would have expected. He claimed that he had a sasquatch actually brush against him and push him aside as it went down a path at night. That is inconsistent with nearly all known (and certainly all recent) reports of sasquatch behavior – has there been any sort of credible claim of sasquatch-human physical contact since Albert Ostman in 1924? His human hybrid theory, although touched upon in a cursory fashion, sounds like he has bought into Melba Ketchum’s conclusion that sasquatch is the product of a male ape mating with a human woman in the distant past and I don’t find that theory plausible.
