Update: Open Invitation to View Dyer’s Live Bigfoot
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 8th, 2013
I know people will complain that I posted this.
To me, it’s news.
I’m not endorsing this, merely reporting it.
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Watch out! When everyone gets there, he’s gonna try and sell you a time-share….
Hmmm… I wonder who the well known surprise special guest might be?? …Tom Biscardi laughing his pants off?
LOL…. what news?
what are you “reporting”?
that a known liar and hoaxer is up to his old antics?
OHHHH…. YES! thats news!
are you reporting on cryptozoology?
or are you desperate for content?
I’m seriously thinking its the latter.
The more you “report? junk like this, the more you associate yourself and your website to cronies like this.
Is that what you want?
and since he’s already been proven a liar and hoaxer… what does that make you for “reporting” this?
ya… even though you’re just “reporting”
its OLD NEWS.
We know he’s full of shit.
next.
why keep perpetuating this guys garbage?
Thought this site was for finding out about cryptozoology… didn’t realize its where you come to read and watch videos from known liars and hoaxers.
You’re loosing your readers over posting this nonsense.
Listen to your readers, because soon… you won’t have any… and this site will just vanish into cyberspace.
just sayin’
Looks like I’m gonna have to find a real cryptozoology site that isn’t full of garbage like this.
So…wow, this is really bizarre….so what happens? Its all fake and these folks show up and there’s nothing there? Or he has something but its in a case, they can’t tell if its real or fake? Or they have to sign non disclosure statements and can’t talk abut it? Where do you all think this weirdness is headed if anywhere? I know I wouldn’t go alone, he seems like he’s not connected to reality and frankly, I’d have someone with me. But, hmm…. on one hand it seems totally phoney, on the other hand…. hmmm… just not sure what to think…
ugly furniture…lol
I’m curious; does he even hold a job?
Wow…some bad feelings happening here. Lets look at this calmly and logically.
First…the odds of Rick Dyer actually having a live juvenile Bigfoot are zero.
If he actually had one, he’d be out in the open with it and the media would all over him.
Second…the odds that he has any solid and true evidence of any kind is almost zero.
If he actually had such evidence, he’d be out in the open and the media would report it.
So where does that leave things. Well, I believe that Dyer concocted his Bigfoot saga to enjoy some notoriety and enhance his “Tracker” claims for hits and memberships to his club and website. All of this backfired and he’s being ridiculed and attacked by serious investigators, albite mostly amatuers like himself. Wisely, it seems the “Big boys” are staying away.
Athough seemingly an unremarkable individual, Dyer certainly has an ego and hasn’t taken lightly to the disdain that his findings and evidence have heaped upon him. His searches have been rebuked by actual witnesses to the areas. His images are suspect in the extreme. And his tent video is a CGI hoax (see the bigfoot image from 1955 Toho film “Half Human” for comparison).
To counter this negative out-pouring, he has upped the ante with his claims and pushed the threshhold of credulity – if he ever had any – to farce with the latest claims of bisexuality and pregnancy of “his” Bigfoot, not to mention his actully having in his possession a live juvenile specimen. All of this verified by scientists. Stop.
Let’s get one thing clear, to have actually accomplished these amazing things would take a quite a lot of capitol and no small amount of “out in the open publicity”. The procurement of a research facility and “scientific” staff to examine a corpse and care for a living being would not come cheaply or silently for that matter. Since Dyer is making important announcements through You Tube uploads and from his car and living room to boot, I think we can safely assume that his funding is limited. Certainly, if any of this were true, he’d be making announcements from his holding facility with the scientific staff in tow and a bevy of reporters present.
So what is the real purpose for engaging in all this baloney when He knows that nothing good will come from it. I have to think that now, with his claims blown all out reason – he actually has nothing to lose and revenge to gain. He is aware that he is a fool doing foolish things and that the best outcome, since nothing of consequence is actually at risk, is that he will make bigger fools of his distractors if they take him up on his dare. By making them show up and travel only to be shown up by him yet again will make Dyer a winner in some self-delusional sense. Much like when a small boy claims that his has a valued object, leads the non-believers on a wild goose chase and then cries “Gotcha – made you look”. Of course when doing this sort of behaviour with serious men involved, you run some risks. But then again, no serious people would involve themselves with Rick Dyer at this point or…Somewhere in the netherworld, old PT Barnum is chuckling.
Everyone knows this clown is just going to repeat what he did before… He had his 10 minutes of infamy and now is simply an attention whore.
I just hope he doesn’t inspire copycats by all the attention he is getting. I can see it now: some redneck will claim he was fishing at Lake Champlain and caught a spawn of Champ and is keeping it in his bath tub until he will reveal to the world at a future date. When the day comes he will claim his cat ate it and produce a skeleton of a blue fish..
Taking a moment to be serious here, something is really starting to concern me. I’ve seen several of Dyer’s Youtube videos and his actions and words seem to be getting more and more bizarre. He seems fixated on “haters”, like the word is out to get him, he seems to have a constant need for attention and he seems to surround himself with a small group of hangers on, that actively participate in and even fund, his delirious actions and pranks. What I see on youtube, resembles someone who appears to be in an internal crisis and things are getting more and more out of hand, as the days go on. I’m hoping that someone else recognizes this and gets some help, before something really bad happens, because we’ve crossed into a point where things are getting serious. I’m not seeing rationality in anything he does.
If you’re genuinely puzzled by his behavior – and I’m genuinely puzzled that you might be – you need to do a good search on the terms “sociopath” and “psychopath”. He is certainly the former, and I’m convinced he’s the latter. The biggest difference the layman such as you or I need concern ourselves with is that psychopaths are genuinely, invariably DANGEROUS.
To themselves, yes, but most importantly, TO OTHERS.
William, I’m telling you – you all: he’s going to try and sell a timeshare to everyone who shows up. I hope he’s providing refreshments!
And Craig, I’m glad you posted it. Even bad news is still news!

You’re clearly happy as a clam when you’re bitching, so no need for me to point out that anyplace you don’t like, you are free to leave.
Hey! I pointed it out anyway. Don’t let Bigfoot hit you on your ace on the way out.
Sometimes you have just invested too much personally to call it off, I guess.
If anything good is coming of this it’s Boy Who Cried Wolf Syndrome. If you have something, you are seeing, in spades, how NOT to deal with it. Better to find a reputable name and put cards on table, soonest.

I just don’t let the charlatans get me down. The news days in crypto would be slow indeed if only legitimate evidence and the scientific approach were highlighted here. The reason we don’t know what sasquatch, yeti, Nessie et al are yet is because the scientific community doesn’t engage in mysteries, but rather crawls inch by inch along the narrow road of the already proven. Until science starts dealing with this the way it should have long ago, well, let somebody do it.
I simply view stuff like this as a chance to hone critical chops. And here is a place to do that.
