The Bigfoot Hunter: Still Searching
Posted by: Greg Newkirk on August 9th, 2014
Ah, what the heck. I’m in a good mood, so my 2011 documentary “The Bigfoot Hunter: Still Searching” is back online for the weekend. If you want to watch an ex-military man hand a bunch of kids high powered weaponry, recount stories of winning karate championships in Japan, and possibly hear what some researchers say is an actual Sasquatch, give it a watch.
I made it for $50. Cut me some slack.
In the summer of 2006, two bigfoot hunters led a group of curious, young paranormal investigators into the hills of southern New York on a quest for evidence of the legendary beast.
Shot completely on consumer level equipment with a budget under $50, this documentary follows Tim Holmes of the Southern Tier Bigfoot Watch and Becky Sawyer of Searching for Bigfoot Inc. as they trek deep into Connecticut Hill, a location rife with reports of mysterious monster sightings and unexplained events.
Although initially skeptical of Tim’s wild stories and unnerved by Becky’s militant commands, things get weird after bizarre encounter in the pines, and the group is forced to reassess their beliefs regarding the existence of Bigfoot.
Often funny, sometimes creepy, but always entertaining, ‘The Bigfoot Hunter: Still Searching’ is a film that asks, what means more in the end: the destination or the journey; the evidence or the legend?
Like the film? Let us know!

Ok, I have to admit, it’s Saturday night and I have waaaay too much time on my hands, so I did watch the whole thing. After the first few minutes, I thought seriously about hitting the escape button and going in the next room to find a life or something. By the end, I have to admit, I had a wee bit of a smile on my face, all the while shaking my head, thinking, “whaaaaaa?” But I tip my hat to the lads for having the nads to go along with this madness and having a quirky sense of humor that is refreshing. We all get our boxers in a wad because no one will take Bigfoot seriously, but sometimes when it’s taken TOO seriously, (as evidenced in this short film), it’s easy to see why we are mocked. Now……..back to my life…………….
