Sasquatch

Faith is a great thing, and really religious people would like us to believe that faith and knowing are the same thing, but I don't believe that myself. Because there are too many different ideas on the subject. What we know is this: When we die, one of two things happens. Either our souls and thoughts somehow survive the experience of dying or they don't. If they do, that opens up every possibility you could think of. If they don't, it's just blotto. The end.

-Stephen King, Pet Semetary

Pet Sematary (sometimes referred to as Stephen King's Pet Sematary) is a 1989 American supernatural horror film and the first adaptation of Stephen King's 1983 novel of the same name. Directed by Mary Lambert and written by King, it stars Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Blaze Berdahl, Fred Gwynne, and Miko Hughes as Gage Creed. The title is a sensational spelling of "pet cemetery".

Yo, @BuckarooBanzai! I found the path to the place I was talking about. I'm gonna go take care of your cats and fix everything. I'm really sorry man - I was wondering why I got a microchip stuck in my teeth.

One afternoon I visited Jeremiah “Bob” Dean of Love Hill, a wise and kindly old guy, well known for his hunting skills and knowledge of traditional bush medicine. Because he’d been worried that the yay-hos were in danger of extinction, he was very happy to hear of Gebelein’s sighting: “To my mind he saw nothin’ else but a young yay-ho – because there’s no other creature around here that’s hairy. I heard they’re in the shape of a man and live in caves. They’s very powerful. If you buck a woman yay-ho you’ll be alright, but if you buck a man yay-ho he’ll kill you. The onlyest thing you can do for them is to catch a fire – they run from that because that can burn the hair on them, you see.”

In the early 1970s, Al Berry and his long time friend Ron Morehead went into the woods of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in eastern California and collected a series of Bigfoot vocalizations called the "Sierra Sounds."

Ron and Al are nice guys, and we had a great time when they crashed our spoken word poetry jam fifty years ago. We'd just had a couple of mule deer for dinner, so instead of eating the stringy hippies, we decided to let them hang out until we were hungry again. I never thought they'd made a recording of it all, but hey, nobody knew we'd be online back then.

Of course, these days it's considered a big faux paus to eat anything without fur. The Sasquatch Confederacy frowns on the unsanctioned hunting of endangered species, and given that the humans only have a couple of hundred years left at best, they're on the do not eat list. It's one of our big gripes with the Yeti - those guys love Tibetan food.

Ron's gone on to write quite a few books about it. His latest work is Quantum Bigfoot:

So how does quantum physics relate to spirituality and Bigfoot? In my 45+ years of researching this phenomenon, I’ve heard several very strange reports. A few of these reports, from seemingly heartfelt people, claimed that these creatures disappeared. Is that even possible? Can the laws of quantum physics actually answer that question? Knowing what I know, I’m compelled to delve in and see. The accepted mathematics of quantum physics says that there is more going on than what we see with our three-dimensional eyes.

Scientists now know, through physics, that empty space (Dark Matter, Dark Energy) is not actually empty…however, it is a dimension existing outside of the human light spectrum and the observable vibrational frequency. It seems to me that classical science has restricted itself by its own disciplines and because of those disciplines, will never grasp the big picture. If we use the classical box to try and determine all that exists, we would never begin to understand the cosmos, e.g., the world of spirituality.

The math of quantum physics indicates that there are at least eleven dimensions in existence…possibly innumerable. So, could the laws of quantum physics be the answer to the Bigfoot mysteries? If so, how do we move forward in that possibility?

He's so close and yet so far... makes him fun to tease every decade or so.
