The blood of the Bigfoot “massacre theory” will flow from the pages of a magazine later this summer.
Within a month or so, you will be able to read an article’s recounting of the “Bigfoot Massacre” fiasco in TAPS Paramagazine.
The essay will be a 4000-word overview of the entire short history of this “theory,” the “speculation,” and the resulting reactions.
For those historians of Bigfoot and Sasquatch matters, you may wish to look into obtaining a copy (see here) or a subscription (here) beginning with this issue. If you have a book or item that is Bigfoot-related, you might wish to decide to advertise in this issue (here), for it’s going to be one of those rare collectibles in a few short months.
The designer, Lori Ors, has done a remarkable job, capturing the favor and mood of the “killing field” theory, throughout her layout.
Above is the title page of the long article (and, yes, the title was created by the magazine’s editor not the piece’s writer).
Beyond hominology and cryptozoology, this is how this episode is characterization by people outside of our specific field of Bigfoot studies.
Some people little realize the “legs” this story has and the behind-the-scenes developments that are occurring. There are some actual conspiracies within conspiracies of people out to make some big noise (and maybe big bucks still) in the future in support of the “killing field” scenario. The people who are telling me these things claim it is a different group of people than the “you’ll have to wait” crew from this. It all feels like more of the same to me, in terms of promising big, being patient, and probably delivering thinly.
Nevertheless, if the forces who wish to keep this alive – “this” being that there was actually a group of Sasquatch killed before the Patterson-Gimlin footage was taken – and that another shooting really occurred on October 20, 1967 – then I am going to take my time now to record, for balance, the mainstream points of view and the seasoned comments of various people who have challenged the “theory.”
Anyone can choose to ignore this all, hoping it will go away, if you wish. It won’t, and at least from a historic point of view, I wanted to put something in print ~ not just on the internet ~ about it.

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.
