John Willison Green

Um, so I was all excited, man.

I ended up, uh, talking to John Green.

He was a, a real famous, uh, a Bigfoot researcher, a, a, a, a newspaper publisher out of, uh, uh, British Columbia.

A lot of Bigfoot people will know who he was.

I explained everything.

Uh, he put me in touch with...

Oh, and, and how I contacted him is I had his book, and so I ended up finding out where he was, and I contacted him, and, and he just, ah, man, John Green was just a great guy.

Rest in peace.

They don't want the video out there because they don't want to be heckled and ridiculed.

Well, that's a good question because the late John Green in his book, uh, Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us in 1978, did statistical analysis of many of the reports, and it seems like it's an even draw in terms of what the observers have reported.

There's maybe about 50% that describe a very man-like animal and about 50% that describes more of a gorilla-like animal.

So y- we could be looking at perhaps a hybrid type of, uh, animal that is somewhat like man-like and somewhat ape-like all rolled up into one.

And they seem to be very good at ambushing deer for the kill in terms of, uh, their meat sustenance, uh, in life.

Plenty of berries out there and plenty of other things out there to eat.

There have been reports, uh, and this goes back to John Green from 1978 in his wonderful book, Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us, in the sense that they've often been seen eating leaves, uh, from trees.

And so there's an abundance of leaves out there, so they could just, in terms of caloric, uh, input, it could be a lot higher than we suspect.

Alex is awesome.

I first met him at that trip to John Green's home in 2008.

And then he was on other expeditions that I was on when I was in the BFRO up there.

I forgot he was with us at the Bob Saget thing, too, because he brought that up.

So like, you know, I can never unsee that.

Like, I never had any doubt because I always, when people go, who's the most like well-known Bigfooter? I'm like, oh, it's Bobo.

And they're like, what about John Green? I'm like, the general public doesn't know who John Green is.

John Green wasn't on, you know, Conan O'Brien or like the late night shows of his day.

And, you know, from these...

Okay, that's where John Green, for example, one of the forefathers of my particular field, Bigfooting...

That's where he really took the best and first step forward.

He started collecting all of these reports from eyewitnesses.

And so often, people are inclined to scoff at stories and, you know, I'm not interested in that hooey or we get the dismissive tone of, oh, that's just folklore, implying, of course, that folklore is untrue or uneducated or ill-informed, when really...

By definition, if something has become folklore, if it has reached that collective articulable level that lots of people know and recognize it and have their own iteration of it, that should add weight to the viability of that information rather than detract from it.

And with tens of thousands of reports, John Green, who I previously mentioned, pointed out that even if one is actually accurate, then it's actually there.

It's like moving beyond stories into physical reality.

I know I never got to meet Krantz.

Now I never got to meet John Green.

Something tells me if I had met those guys, my opinion of them would be less than it is.

I'm not insulting them, but I'm aware of like what they were like.
