Thermal Baby Blobsquatch {Revised}

Look, I’m only publishing this video at the end here because it seems to be the buzz of a small group of Bigfootland fanboys.

See my “The Short History of Blobsquatch” from 2006, for more of the awful details of the word’s origins. It is also the point in time when I published on my invented word, “blogsquatching.”

If you asked the general public, the only thing Bigfootbloggers are interested in are blobsquatch videos. Give me a break!

The Valley Advocate made a passing reference to “Bigfoot seekers” recently in an article entitled “Art in Paradise: Of Art and Blobsquatch.” It wasn’t about Bigfoot and only a couple sentences mention Bigfoot. The following comment is intriguing, and upon re-reading it, insightful.

Art writer James Heflin wrote: “I’m fascinated by pareidolia, the human ability to see order even when there is none, as manifested by seeing Jesus in your burrito and similar visitations….There is a virtual ‘blobsquatch’ industry among Bigfoot seekers with shaky video cameras.”

Heflin’s right. We all deserve better. I don’t think even viewing the following video is worthy of his, mine, or your time and attention. It is the worst kind of blobsquatch, so blurry that you can hardly see anything for most of the footage, and thus so incredibly stupid for being posted.

It is sad that so much technology is wasted on these few seconds. Someone could have “painted” in the little areas on this piece of blobsquatchery or taken some funny footage of a typical forest critter (raccoon, squirrel, chipmunk, tree otter?). Nevertheless, in terms of my duties of “reporting the news,” here it is.

Seriously, though, don’t even waste your time on this one. Do something else. Go to a beach. Take a walk. Watch MonsterQuest reruns. Read a good book (one suggestion, wink wink). Start a campfire and sing happy fireside songs.

Ah, but you have to watch it now, humm? I warned you. (It’s time to take some more Advil for my foot. Am I cranky or what? I’m going to blame it on the ibuprofen, not blobsquatches.)

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
