Update: Wisconsin Bigfoot Video

Update on the Wisconsin Bigfoot video that was discussed here on Cryptomundo earlier this week. 

I have been informed that Steve Kulls of SquatchDetective.com was on his way to Wisconsin yesterday morning. I received the following message from a member of that organization on July 12.

Thanks so much for calling attention to the July 4 St Croix Wisconsin video in your blog on Cryptomundo.

Yesterday I logged in on the You Tube site and PM’d the videographer (swane22). I encouraged him to contact Steve Kulls as a 3rd party expert on such issues to determine whether the video can be corroborated as credible and authentic. I gave him Steve’s email address and the Squatchdetective hot line phone number. The videographer replied and told me the video was taken down one of the trails leading to the south campground at Interstate State Park (just downstream from St. Croix Falls). He added that he thought he was filming a bear up until the time it grabbed a branch, broke it and threw it towards him.

Last night, Steve called me at home to say he had just received a phone call from the St. Croix videographer. The videographer had offered to send Steve a copy of the original video for analysis. From what Steve said to me on the phone, he is enthused about investigating this report. He told me he had already planned to begin the 18-hour drive to Wisconsin this morning (July 12) with a member of the Elmyra research group to follow-up the BFRO expeditions in Phipps, WI and our photograph investigation near Florence, WI. Perhaps he’ll find enough time and fuel to meet the videographer or visit Interstate State Park while he is in Wisconsin.

The latest from the organization is as follows:

A team of investigators from upstate New York drove to Wisconsin this week. One of them is Steve Kulls (see his web site at The Squatch Detective). Steve spoke with the videographer by telephone on Tuesday night to make arrangements for obtaining a copy of the original tape. Steve’s Squatchdetective organization is now working with the videographer to identify the location where the video was taken and determine whether details of the background story can be corroborated.

The following screencaps from the video came from a poster at Bigfoot Forums.
