  1. If no physical evidence is found of “Bigfoot” my theroy is that “they” are Interdimenional as well as a lot of ‘other’ …..sightings……………….

    • Not interdimensional…just at one with nature. They use all the skills that we humans forgot long ago. The more technologically advanced we become the less we use our basic instincts and ability to commune and thrive in nature….sasquatch has never lost that and that is why so many want to attribute mystical or supernatural skills to them. They are flesh and blood but are so good at hiding and being one with nature that they may seem paranormal at times. Peace.

  2. Hi..,.,. You have written about ancient astronauts of egypt and other south american civilization. But I think perhaps it is not in your knowledge that ancient indian text are filled with such mystical flying machines called ‘Vimana’ and other types of dangerous weapons more furious than modern nuclear weapons. Think about that there is a plenty of such phenomenon in Indian text than any other ancient civilization.

  3. Most glad to hear about The Evolution Conspiracy and its imminent appearance. Knew, of course, that you were working on it and was glad to learn it was nearing publication. You do such a great job(like Michael Cremo) of slapping Orthodoxy’s dogmas around ! Kudos for that. I plan to tell your fans at the Unknown Creature Spot the good news.
    Salut!!!!!

  4. I may understand why Lisa groups
    these topics together, as they are
    all pooh-poohed by the Smirking
    Stuffed Shirts of the Crapademic
    “Certified Experts with DogTurs
    Dangling” University Scene.

  5. Dear Lisa,
    I listened to you being interviewed on ‘Let’s Talk Bigfoot’ and I thought you held up well under (hostile) interrogation! Many of the questions reflect the bias of the interviewer and were of the “I don’t understand why extraterrestrials would have a connection with with Bigfoot” variety. Perhaps you could ask these same people if they are now celebrating the Virgin Birth of Christ and taking Communion? Not to dis anyone’s religious beliefs but if you stand back and take an objective look at these things they are also out of the realm of understanding!
    Perhaps if people would stop trying to anthropomorphize all they see and let the observations stand for themselves, science could advance in this area.
    I feel your pain…Becky
