Meeting in Rhode Island 9/19/11
At present (Sunday, September 18, 2011) the cast of the Animal Planet TV series “Finding Bigfoot” are investigating bigfoot/sasquatch sightings in the surprisingly squatchy state of Rhode Island. We could use some help in this regard.
People outside Rhode Island can assist us over the next 24 hours with emails and phone calls to radio stations in Rhode Island (see instructions below). Messages should be sent to the DJ’s asking them to mention a bigfoot meeting in East Greenwhich on Monday night. (Click here for radio station contact info.)
The BFRO is holding a free open town hall meeting for people to share their Rhode Island bigfoot information (sometimes called “Big Rhody”). We’d really like to speak with eye-witnesses who have not contacted us before. Anyone with reliable second-hand information is welcome also.
After spending a few days and nights in RI, we’re guessing that there are many more witnesses in RI than we previously knew about. It’s a surprisingly squatchy place. Virtually all of the human attention is directed at the spectacular bays and inlets. Consequently the vast inland swamps and forests are relieved from a lot of human reactional traffic.
There are hundreds of thousands of acres near the Conneticuit border that were farmlands 100 years ago. Most of those farmlands have reverted back to thick, wet, tangled Atlantic coastal forest. Those strips of forest are fully loaded with large, white-oak-fed deer. The vast, forgotten CT/RI border zone criss-crossed by county roads that bear the stains of continuous road kill carnage. In other words, these are very healthy, productive forests on the west side of Rhode Island. These forests are supporting and protecting a whole lot of wildlife. The forests and wildlife could easily support and conceal a few dozen nomadic apex predators like bigfoots.
We’d like to meet more witnesses from this state, so we’re asking people to help us get the word out about the meeting on Monday night. These open meetings seems to be the best way to collect a lot of information in one swoop. Please contact radio stations in Rhode Island via email or phone to let them know about a bigfoot-related town hall meeting this Monday night. See links below for radio station contact info. Read on til them.
The meeting is scheduled for
Monday September 19 at 6:30 pm
Location: The City Hall for historic East Greenwich, south of Providence.
Free parking nearby.

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.
Was hoping show was going to move away from it’s previous “formula” format, ie. same scenario every week, only the location changes. Guess not if we are still having these town halls. Sigh…..(resetting tv to not tape future shows).
Rhode Island’s Great Swamp is so large and wild that the Air Force used to drop pilots into it as part of survival training!
Too bad this was only posted on Sunday the 18th about the meeting on the 19th – hope they had good attendance.
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts- ALL of New England – have a long history of wild and mysterious places, creatures and events, including the International Cryptozoological Museum in Portland, Maine.
I find the location of Rhode Island (smallest state in the US) a bit puzzling. Next thing you know they will be making BF calls with the Washington Monument in DC in sight. They need to spend more time in the Canadian Wilderness or Pacific Northwest. These type locations IMO are just stupid and a waste of time.
