Another Monster Quest Followup

There is a rumor going around ~ I literally have now read it from individuals in three countries ~ that the “Sasquatch Attack” documentary “occurred five years ago.”

I’m not sure where some people get their information, but I think the dating of the nail board incident is being confused with the making of the documentary.

Supposedly, the nail board events took place in 2003 or perhaps 2004. There is enough vagueness about whether one or several animals might have stepped on this trap to raise some questions. But the board held only an old sample or samples, that’s for certain.

The board events may have happened in 2004, because in some accounts, the board was said to have been gathered two years later, during the production of the documentary, after something stepped on it. The date when the film production crew and Meldrum was in the field is known.

Doug Hajicek has directly answered my question about when the episode was filmed, and it occurred in 2006. The sample vials clearly are labeled with the date of their collection, August 14, 2006, in the series.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum indicated at the Texas conference no further DNA testing would be done, but Doug Hajicek told me overnight that qualified labs may be sent further samples.

One more thing. It was against the law for those devices to be used in the woods, in the first place.

According to Canadian law, the use of “nail traps” (sometimes with screws instead of nails) is illegal. Here’s a tidbit picked up from the Bigfoot Forums, posted by a former Canadian police officer:

-b – being in occupation or possession of a place, knowingly permits such a trap, device or other thing to remain in that place.

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.
