The Trail Camera Dilemma

In the world of Sasquatch research, there are many topics that are taboo. Many other organizations and scientists will not talk about them for fear of ridicule. At S.I.R., we promised to show you all the evidence all the time. This is one of those mysteries.

Our two 1430 Infrared stealth cameras were placed strategically at a known crossing point across a stream.

They are camouflaged with pine branches to maximize their effectiveness.

Both cameras are checked daily, to check for photos and to make sure they are in proper working order.

In this sequence there are two units in play that are facing each other. One unit is equipped with a 12 volt stealth cam battery and the other unit with 6 Duracell C batteries.

After a very eventful Tuesday that was full of weird happenings at camp, both cameras tripped at the creek on Wednesday morning the 18th of August in daylight conditions.

All 9 burst sequences had whited out on both units, and we have no idea why.

One large foot print seems to indicate we should have had success in catching whatever triggered the cameras.

We thought we had caught a Sasquatch on camera from 2 angles. Instead we had 9 bursts of photos on both cameras of white frames.

Trail Cam #1 & #2 had 36 photos each. 9 each white and the rest were of us checking them daily going in and out of the small ravine.

Trail Cam #1′s camera with the batteries was working, but stopped at 36 frames.

Trail Cam #2′s 12 volt battery was completely dead. This battery should last 3 months or at minimum 100′s of photos per the manufacturer.

The first and last pictures from each trailcam are shown, so that you can see how long the burst of photos lasted… 87 seconds and 22 seconds respectively.

Once again we caught nothing. This has happened to us before in this area many times. For us, the frustration and mystery continues…

The second two photos in the sequence that are whited out is from the camera facing east in the ravine under a large canopy of trees crossing a small stream.The camera tripped at 07:36 am. The cameras are set in a nine burst pattern every three seconds. All nine whited out as indicated on the camera facing east. The track line came in from the west heading east, so this photo should have caught the back of the offender as he or she passed by. This is the camera with 6 “C” batteries that were still working stopped at 36 exposures.

The second camera is facing west and is about 30 yards from camera one. It tripped at 07:39 am or almost 2 minutes later, which indicates the individual stopped for some reason. We think to assess the situation, but that is speculation only. They second camera facing west shows the anomaly of temperature, which we cannot account for. The first shot shows a temperature of 55 degrees. 9 bursts of 3 seconds each later it is back to the ambient temperature of 51 degrees. This 4 degree anomaly is unaccounted for and appears unnatural. This camera would have caught the forward view of the culprit as it crossed the stream headed east.

Plus, remember the camera facing west was on a fully charged stealth cam 12 volt battery that was dead as well. It is usually good for up to 3 months in the field. It lasted less than 3 days and 36 photos only. We can only speculate the two are connected. Please note the sun is not a factor here, which rises in the east. A large mountain is just east of this location. It is shaded even in mid day under a large canopy of huge pines. We have no explanation for this phenomenon, but in our eyes they seem to be related and are worth noting.

Sasquatch research is not black and white, but has many shades of gray.

We as investigators have been fortunate enough to have experienced many of these gray areas.

Equipment failure is common. We have missed more than we have caught to be honest with you.

It is a frustrating hobby made even more frustrating by the fact that most of the rest of our colleagues are afraid to discuss these topics openly.

In our eyes, this is holding back progress.

Science works on facts and we understand this, but speculation and openness is integral if we are to be successful collectively in our endeavor to prove these magnificent creature’s exist.

It’s okay for Stephen Hawking to speculate on Black Holes, although he has never visited one.

It was okay for Einstein to test the limits of Physics and from it came the theory of Relativity.

We are not sure if it’s infrasound, we are not sure if it’s sonar, but since mammals already exhibit these traits, which we feel make these the mostly like candidates for this strange phenomenon.

Whatever it is it can physically effect you in ways we as a group do not understand.

Here is the proof that something strange is going on.

Now we ask that you open your eyes and your mind to the possibilities that there is more to these forest friends of ours than we know.

And maybe, just maybe that’s why it has been so difficult to prove they exist.

Sasquatch Meat Pit Area

This is the meat pit as it existed in 2009. Please note one of our colleagues is attending to a stealth camera on the tree closest the downed log.

We used to place the stealth cameras nightly on the meat in 2009.

There is a second stealth camera in the tree in the center of the photo, which is very important to note as it pertains to the next photo and is of great importance.

The last photo shows the meat pit in 2010 as we found it. If you notice the large, healthy tree in the center of the photo that we used to place our stealth camera on in 2009 is down over our 2009 feeding station on the old log.

This basically rendering our 2009 feeding station of old useless. It is broken at about 7 feet. This tree sits in the center circle of many trees surrounded on all sides and is not the tallest tree either.

It fell perfectly over our feeding station. Coincidence, I don’t know, what I do know is the force’s required to bring that tree down on our feeding station are beyond my comprehension.

No other trees dead or alive had fallen in this area. I will let you be the judge of what happened here.

Get some of those gimmick type spy cameras from the 70s that were really small. They had fixed focal lengths I think, but they were real small and easily hidden. It would take a lot of ingenuity to make these ideas work. A drawback would be of course that they wouldn’t be effective after nightfall when Sasquatch is active. There are types of film that are sensitive to near infrared but then you would need an electronic light source to make infrared light.
Too bad there wasn’t a way to use AC power. I don’t think he could drain a constant source of electricity.

Don’t know if any of this helps, but I think a clever person, or people could experiment and come up with something.

There are too many incidents where BF has defeated or just got right up in the lens and whited it out. The game cam has to be rethought or re engineered with cameras in a 360 degrees aspect because it seems as though adults can defeat it 99% of the time.
