Celebrating 30 Years of Paul Freeman's Bigfoot Footage: A Family's Perspective

In a recent episode of the Bigfoot and Beyond Podcast, hosts Cliff and Bobo interview Larry Lund and delve into the fascinating world of Bigfoot research. Cliff shares some intriguing insights about the 30th anniversary of the Paul Freeman footage, filmed at Deduct Springs, and the impact it has had on the Bigfoot community, particularly on Freeman's family. One common misconception about Paul Freeman is that he was an admitted hoaxer. However, Cliff clarifies that Freeman only admitted to creating fake footprints as part of his research process, to understand the challenges of tracking and identifying authentic prints. This editing oversight by Good Morning America has led to unnecessary confusion within the Bigfoot community. The Blue Mountain data set, which includes the Freeman footage, has faced criticism regarding the authenticity of its evidence. Cliff, who has a personal collection of footprint casts from this era, emphasizes the importance of understanding the malleability and flexibility of Sasquatch feet before judging the evidence. He encourages skeptics to immerse themselves in the footprint track database and conduct thorough research before making assumptions. Cliff also highlights the variety of foot and toe impressions and shapes found in the data set, which can provide valuable insights into individual Sasquatch characteristics. For instance, the same individual that appeared in the Paul Freeman footage has been identified in other instances, such as the Seven Mile trackway in 1991 and the Five Points cast in 1996. In addition to the Paul Freeman footage, the episode covers various other topics related to Bigfoot research, making it an engaging and informative listen for Bigfoot enthusiasts.
