Bizarre Bigfooter Bedfellows

Carter Family Drawing

Janice Carter Coy alleged meeting with the Bigfoot “Fox” in her house’s basement, April 2002.

The netherworld of Bigfooters is known to have a few bizarre “marriages” and “divorces.”

The unions and break-ups have been well-documented for such strange bedfellows as Peter Byrne and Ray Crowe, Jeff Meldrum and Matt Moneymaker, Tom Biscardi and Ray Crowe, Tom Biscardi and Tara Hauke, and Erik Beckjord and Tara Hauke.

Now comes word that Jon-Erik Beckjord has joined with Janice Carter Coy, the co-author of 50 Years of Bigfoot: Tennessee Chronicles of Co-Existence, in some new cooperative efforts. They, for example, will be appearing at an Alabama “conference” together.

But this new association has caused a split elsewhere, it seems.

Coy had written the above-noted book with Mary Alayne Green, but a schism is in evidence now between Coy and Green.

Various forums and sites have posted the following message during the last week:

“Except for certain copyrights and legal documents related to the production of the book “50 Years with Bigfoot,” which remain binding on me, I renounce all ties and collaborations with Janice Carter Coy and her Nermunah Corporation.” ~ by Mary Green on 12/04/07.

What are we to make of this breakup?
