Lounga The Bigfoots Side of the Story
Huh? Wha? It's morning already? Boy, my head really hurts. I guess I had too many of those formenting apples last night. I knew when I went over to that farmer's orchard that this was going to happen. I should have quit after the first dozen. I'm not ever gonna do that again. Let's see now, the last thing I remember was, my girlfriend Singo was calling me on a tree with her usual three knocks and quickly followed by another one. I wasn't about to answer her. She's always calling me when she thinks I'm having a good time.
Okay, tme to get up and get going. Kind of chilly this morning and I almost froze last night. This teepee could use a lot of work. I don't know why, but, everytime I put one of these together, I get the limbs intertwined right, but then there seems to be a blank spot in my head on how to finish it. Grandpa Grong told me that his Grandpa learned it from the Indians. However, some details must have been lost somewhere through time I guess. What I need is a cave, but our leader, old man Mwala has the only one in these mountains. I'll take it from him someday, but it'll be awhile. he's old, but can still take care of himself. besides, he don't like me much and I try to keep some distance from him.
Let's see. First, I need to get something to eat, I'm starved. Crawfish down in the stream might do it. It hasn't rained for awhile and the streams been running low and if I'm lucky, maybe a trout or two. Course, there's always the last of the berries on the other side of the ridge if the bears haven't got them yet. With this headache, I can't bring myself to chasing down a deer. Maybe later in the day. But for now, the stream is about an hours' walk and the ridge is at least two. Well, might as well get started.
The stream is just on the bottom of this hill. Oh, oh. What the heck is that movement through the trees ahead. Looks like two of those small ugly creatures that sort of look like me, but their skin is funny somehow. Their hair on their bodies are differant colors like I see on flowers. I've seen these creatures before. They make strange noises when their mouths move. Sometimes, I have looked through holes in their caves and when they see me, they scream very loud which makes me leave real quick. These creatures make me curious, but also make me afraid as Grandpa Grong told me that sometimes they carry sticks that make a loud noise and they can hurt me. He said that they are very dangerous and I should never get close to them. I'll just stand here by this tree and maybe they'll pass by without seeing me. Oh no! They stopped and are now looking right at me and pointing with their fingers. One of them is bringing a small box up to it's face. Maybe it's trying to hide it's face, but I can still see it. Something tells me that that small box is not a good thing. I'm going to walk away in the opposite direction and keep the tree between them and myself. Thank Heavens I listened to Grandpa Grong. With these creatures, you never can be too careful.
Sometimes at night when I'm with my friends, Agwal and Tanid, and we're just hanging out at one of our many stone formation meeting places, stories are passed around about these creatures. I'm telling you, it's hard falling asleep afterwards without looking around wondering if they're just on the outskirts of the woods watching us.
Although I'm afraid of these creatures, it is a lot of fun sneaking around at night when they're sleeping on the ground in the warm weather. I always get a laugh when I pay them back and scream out and they go running to those strange things that they get into that stinks and makes noises and moves real fast. Also, when I'm really bored, I'll crouch down at night beside those hard black paths and when they come by in those strange things, I'll stand up and watch them go even faster. One laugh after another.
Now then, I think I'll give Singo a call. She must have calmed down by now.

Dactyloscopy
Dactyloscopy! Why do scientist always want to hang a fancy name onto something while a simple name would do? Dactyloscopy means fingerprints. Or, to be more precise, the collecting and classificaton of fingerprints. Why am I sitting here writing about fingerprints when the blog is supposed to be about Bigfoot? Well, every once in a while, some researcher, after being out researching all day, will come back to camp and they'll be a handprint on their vehicle that they think was made by Bigfoot. Hmm, now what?
A little background on me might be in order before I go any further. During my 37 years in Law Enforcement, many years were spent as a detective. As a detective, I was assigned to the State Police lab for 3 months and all I did during that time was lift and classify fingerprints. I examined so many thousands of prints, that at night, all I dreamed about was loops, whorls, arches and all the sub-catoragories. I read almost every book on the subject, testified many times in court using charts depicting 'points' and was declared an expert in both District and Superior Courts. My desk in my office was crowded with glass slides with prints on them that were lifted at crime scenes. Almost everyone one of those slides were of no value.
The reason why I say that they were of no value is because you need to have someone to compare it to, otherwise, it's just a print. Today, the FBI as well as the States top Law Enforcement office have huge fingerprint data computers where you put your lifted print in and it'll search every print on file for a match. However, if someone hasn't been printed, it's just a print.
Say, this is pretty interesting, but what has this to do with Bigfoot? Well, last year someone sent me a picture of a handprint that was found on a car's back window and the thinking was it was Bigfoot who walked by and laid it's hand on the window. I took that picture and blew it up more than it was to look for any patterns (i.e. loop, whorl, etc) and found that the finger tips was just smudges with maybe just a few ridges showing. Maybe Bigfoot did touch the window, maybe not. Maybe it was one of the research crew that inadvertently touch the window, Maybe not. But as far as I know, no one has ever printed a Bigfoot before so even if the handprint showed every ridge and groove possible, what or who do you match it to as I have previously stated? The real value would be if it was found to have ridge patterns that were never seen before. Then, the print would not have to be matched with something or someone and that may be proof enough that some unknown creature was real.
A footprint is another story. A human footprint has ridges and grooves just like the hands, but there are no actual categories such as loops, whorls, etc. Dr. M. has a footprint, supposedly a Bigfoot footprint that was cast and it was discovered to have ridges and groves. What makes this exciting versus a handprint on a window is that the ridges run differantly than what a human print would show. And that to me was a great discovery. It amazes me that a find like this hasn't been made into a a bigger deal then it has.
