    "Who doesn't love a Bigfoot adventure? Take a trip to 1970s Oregon with KCRA Reporter Terry Richards to investigate the possibility of the mythical figure Bigfoot! I found the whole thing delightful, especially the interviews with the regular citizens. What do you think? Could Bigfoot still be out there?"
    Our Film Specialist Chad Williams notes that this story is what they refer to as a "special" in the film lab - KCRA-TV stories that were produced separate from daily news. These would air sometimes over multiple days near the end of a news broadcast or on other programs. A lot of these specials are now in pieces, with images and audio on separate reels that have to be put back together in their original sequence. Sometimes, as seen in this video, there is still audio but no picture. What happened to these bits of film is a mystery...

    I grew up in Hood River, Oregon. I saw an Albino Sasquatch there at my Grandparent's house in 1978.

    And what about those vocalizations, such a howls and shrieks that defy imagination on just how large a set of lungs actually are?
    Someone should play several of the vocalization tapes in front of a panel of "The Three Tenors" and ask them professionally, what they think of the lung capacity of the taped performers.

There were two of three of these things in the ravine and at night they would come on to the property and feed on one of the fruit trees. They were seen by myself and several of my housemates. Even recorded them screaming in the ravine. I wrote a book about my experiences.

    This was great but the narrator was very misleading when he stated that the editor he interviewed first was highly skeptical of bigfoot. Too me it sounded like he was very open to the possibility of these beings existence. These days, mainstream news editors and reporters snicker and scoff when they mention bigfoot like its the most ridiculous thing they ever heard. Mr. Weeks though calmly thinks about it critically and then applies common sense when asked about possible sightings and then states that just because you never see something doesn't mean it isn't there.
