A creature 7-10 feet tall, with long pointed ears, and completely covered with hair, was reported in Costa Mesa. Another man told police the monster appeared to lunge at his car "it looked like an ape with arms waving about." A UFO had just been reported seen in the area around the same time. No other information.

"Wherever Sasquatch walks, a lantern follows”

I Googled this quote. The only thing that shows up is something from wordpress and this thread.

I kinda don't believe anyone from any tribe ever said this.

Others say Bigfoot is extraterrestrial. And there’s a paranormal contingent who believes Bigfoot perhaps travels interdimensionally through portals.

Rockies Bigfoot researcher Michael Johnson puts a lot of stock in the stories of the Native Americans.

“The Lakota Sioux call Bigfoot chiye tanka,and I love that name,” Johnson says. “They’re not calling Bigfoot an animal. They’re calling Bigfoot their brother. I think it tells us to a certain degree that Bigfoot isn’t necessarily an animal, but it may be a type of people.”

Many tribes of North America describe a giant, hairy creature who dwells in the forest, sometimes possessing supernatural powers. Johnson cites a Miwok Indian saying, which alludes to either the spiritual or the supernatural aspect of Bigfoot.

“The Miwok Indians say wherever Sasquatch walks, a lantern follows,” Johnson says. “We’ve seen this light phenomenon when they’re around. I think that’s what the Miwok Indians of Yosemite Valley were talking about.”

Can't seem to find the article at the moment but I can recall a "bigfoot" encounter where the creature pointed a stick and paralysed the observer, a theme that persists in many different types of reports.

All was normal – on November 28, 1954 –for Jose Ponce and Gustavo Gonzalez, as they traveled along a small road on the fringes of Caracas, Venezuela. Or, to be absolutely correct, all was normal for a while. The dark road was suddenly lit up by what the astonished pair could only describe as a bright ball of light, with a circumference of around three feet. It swayed slightly in the air, not unlike a small boat bobbing along on the water.

The two slowed down their vehicle as they approached it, eventually coming to a complete halt. It was then, suddenly, that astonishment was replaced by outright terror. While Ponce stayed inside the van, Gonzalez cautiously exited the vehicle; he began to slowly and tentatively walk towards the hovering globe. Suddenly, Gonzalez found himself thrown to the ground by an unseen force. The reason why the attacker was unseen – for a few seconds, at least – was because of its size. Or, rather, its profound lack of size.

Gonzalez, to his shock and fear, was finally able to see what had assaulted him: a small, hair-covered creature that was built like a man, but which was only around three feet in height. Acting on impulse and adrenaline, Gonzalez attempted to plunge his knife into the body of the creature, only for the knife to bounce off it.

In mere seconds, another hairy dwarf was on the scene, and temporarily blinded Gonzalez with a bright light that emitted from a powerful, flashlight-type device. Shocked to the core, Ponce gathered his wits together and jumped out of the van to help his friend, who was stumbling around, his eyesight still affected by the powerful beam that hit him with full force..

Authors Joshua Cutcheon and Timothy Renner are brilliant in this interview with host Greg Bishop, untangling the mysteries of Bigfoot and and its inevitable high strangeness. To quote Bishop, their new book Where the Footprints End is designed (and sure) to goose the Bigfoot research community out of its “'flesh-and-blood-hypothesis' stupor.

Josh Cutchin and Tim Renner have just released a book that is designed (and sure) to goose the Bigfoot research community out of its “flesh-and-blood-hypothesis” stupor (the theory that the creature is an undiscovered primate.)

In Where the Footprints End, they have gathered case after documented case of paranormal events associated with Bigfoot sightings, beginning with a dramatic incident  from 1973 where the creatures (TWO of them) were observed in close proximity to a large, lighted object that left a glowing circle on the ground and apparently gave one witness a vision of the end of the world.

We spoke on this case and many others where the idea of the phenomenon as simply an elusive animal is called into serious question. Based on their research, Renner and Cutchin believe parallels with hauntings and poltergeists are inescapable, as well as connections to the world of the dead. We also discussed the strange explanations given for cases of Bigfoot tracks that apparently stop suddenly in mid-stride (hence the name of the book.) Fascinating conversation that is sure to make you excited, upset, or both.

Then the thing slowly stood up to its full height, around eight feet tall, and walked back up into the trees. It never took its eyes off the man as it left. Bobby claimed that he felt a strange compulsion to follow the beast into the woods, but was saved when his wife came running up to him and broke the strange spell

It was then that another odor hit him, a much stronger odor which smelled like “rotten meat.” The witness, wisely, decide to get in the car. “When I turned to walk to the driver’s side, a burst of very low-bass “language,” of sorts, came from the thing that sounded very much like scolding; and that’s exactly how I felt; like I was trespassing and in big trouble.” As he reached the driver’s side door, he felt a “strong urge” to just sit or lie down there outside the car, “like a prey animal might react,” but luckily, he was able to resist the compulsion and climbed into his car

Meanwhile, the neighbor from down the road had agreed to try and track the monster down for the sake of the safety of the Nunnelly children. He encountered it one day at an old, abandoned house far back in the woods. It was stooping down, he said, looking out the window out at him. Then he fired on it and in that same instant it just vanished right before his eyes

The first of the peripheral phenomenon was experienced by Edgar Harrison and his fellow church parishioners on July 14, when they saw the green and white balls of light prior to hearing the loud growling sound. Growling seems indicative of an animal, but Harrison said they heard another loud noise just before the growling. He described it as a “ringing noise,” which could be compared to rocks being thrown at a metal water reservoir, not unlike the one which stood atop Marzolf Hill.[47] After an “especially loud ring” he heard the growling, which then prompted his family to flee the scene.

But hey decent bigfoot researchers cant talk about too much woo now can they?

Robert's Creek - see 16:00

Dry weather – a black cloud-like object approximately the shape of a human body hovered over Boston and remained until Sunset, and thousands saw it. At 7:00 PM, the cloud landed, but quickly rose again and moved South only about twenty feet off the ground – down the main street, blowing a little vapor smoke intermixed with a few rapid sparks of electric fire, till it came before the Province House

A cattleman described an encounter with friendly Indians in Humboldt County, California. They led him to a cave where he saw a hefty humanoid creature covered in long, shiny black hair, with no neck, sitting cross-legged. One Indian told him three of these "Crazy Bears" had been cast out of a small moon that dropped from the sky and landed. The "moon" then ascended back into the air. So it's highly likely the "Crazy Bears" were really Bigfoots, and the "moon," a spacecraft.

The above happent in 1888, according to one Dr Franklin Ruehl. It might be good to see who is this franklin fellow before putting any stock to this account. Even better if someone lives in california near humboldt and knows any indians,ask them directly

Ufos might be a form of energy that transforms into something else(bigfoot) for its own reasons. Also notice that alot of these bigfoot accounts are near water aswell.

"First, there is a physical object. That may be a flying saucer or it may be a projection or it may be something entirely different. All we know about it is that it represents a tremendous quantity of electromagnetic energy in a small volume. I say that based upon the evidence gathered from traces, from electromagnetic and radar detection and from perturbations of the electromagnetic fields such as Dr. Claude Poher, the French space scientist, has recorded".

After asking various forensic pathologists to review his findings, Vallee claims that "what UFO witnesses describe as 'light' may, in fact, be a complex combination of ionising and non-ionising radiation. Many of the injuries described in Brazil, however, are consistent with the effects of high-power pulsed microwaves." (p.124)
