Bigfoot’s Beckjord Has Cancer

Bigfoot badboy Jon-Erik Beckjord has released a statement that he has cancer.

In conjunction with this release of information, Beckjord says he is trying to sell, once again, his copy of the Patterson-Gimlin footage of a Bigfoot at Bluff Creek, California, taken on October 20, 1967. The footage is available on most good documentaries about Bigfoot, but, as Beckjord has noted in his past attempts to sell it on eBay for one million dollars ($1,000,000), he feels his copy is unique. How he obtained that copy is not known and not stated. Beckjord, states for the first time, as far as is known, that he will share part of what he obtains from such a sale with Bob Gimlin and Pat Patterson.

As many within the Bigfoot community know, Beckjord has enjoyed obtaining publicity in a variety of sometimes very bizarre ways, often tied to media notice of other personalities.

Needless to say, I wish cancer on no one, and here’s my best to the guy who has “entertained” us with his antics for years. My wish is for Beckjord to have some painless moments while obtaining a speedy recovery.

The following is Beckjord’s statement (unedited), followed by another one:

Beckjord has cancer
by Jon-Erik Beckjord

I have hidden this for the last four years, but things have progressed to a stage that I now feel it is better to tell what is going on rather than to suddenely disappear from the scene.

I have prostate cancer, which in the past took Rene Dahinden from us. (Roger Patterson also was taken by a different type of cancer.) I may have five years, or five months, I am not sure how it will go. Currently, it has spread to some of my bones, and is painful. Some treatments I am taking may save the day, but I am not sure.

My enemies will perhaps rejoice, but my friends may be able to help with good wishes. Collective good vibes can sometimes make lives go further than otherwise. I note I do seem to have a few friends here, and some have shamanistic ability.

My life’s work seems to have worked out well, for I saw today a cartoon (a good measure of public thinking) that showed a little boy opening a mysterious box. When he did open it, it swallowed him up and sucked him into it, and it was labled “Official Wormhole Box”.

Jokes, and articles galore now refer to parallel universes, and wormholes, (connecting passages) and much of this has gone on due, I think, to my pushing the ideas with my websites, writing, emails, lists, and this site. Since 1976. Finally, it has all come together. Bigfoot is there, but not in an normal way. They are travellers of some sort. Ditto Nessie, ufos, aliens, and so on.

To assist in my medical treatments, I am putting up my excellent copy of the Patterson-Gimlin Film, with all normal commercial rights open, for sale, 16mm, since it is in the public domain, and has been so since 1968. It is on EBay, and also on my Bigfoot site. ( Payment of a share of sale will compensate Mrs .P for any loss of rental or royalty revenue.)

A share of the proceeds goes to BOB GIMLIN and also Mrs.PATRICIA PATTERSON, who are also in bad health. Bob had quintuple bypass surgery last year, and Pat is in a wheelchair.

If you count among my friends, and know wealthy persons who have an interest in Bigfoot, f&b or not, let them know of this sale. The original is all snarled up in litigation and is scratched up.

My copy is better than that of the esteemed John Green, better than what Noll worked on, and is virgin – never projected. A direct copy off the orignal, from 1968. IMHO, more important than even the famous Kennedy-Zapruder film. (Sold for $16m.)

One benefit of this health problem, one might say, is that IMHO, Bigfoot has appeared and let us take its photo – three times – in ’06 on an expedition. Of course it may have appeared to let me know my former museum docent had died within a few days, which I did not know.

It may have even been her, in another form.

I will be pushing hard to finish my book, “Sex,Lies and Bigfoot”, to get it out even in a very unpolished form, a very rough edit. Later, I can fine-tune it. Lots has happened since 1975.

I’ve been around a long time, done a great deal, upset lots of people,and I will do all I can to stick around and keep on trying to unravel these mysteries, including why we are here, and where we are going. I may soon know, but hopefully, not too soon.

Still here, Jon-Erik Beckjord

Beckjord followed the above with a later message. I’m not sure what he is conveying, entirely here. The “false alarm” does not appear to be about the cancer overall, however. Once again, the content is unchanged.

Maybe false alarm.
by Jon-Erik Beckjord

I had been lifting some thing very heavy very often from my car, with one arm, and did not think about it.

Then my left collarbone muscle ached like hell, my left rib muscles hurt often, and so did left hip and thigh.

I decided to stop interacting with this heavy object, 50 lbs, and finally, most of the aches are gone, 80%.

The other problem still is ongoing, but I am taking Curcumin pills, as per some good advice, and my own PSA is going down.

I also appreciate the kind messages, and I am reading them slowly.Jon-Erik Beckjord
