This "Skookum Cast" is one of the most famous and important finds in Bigfoot research. Richard Noll and Derek Randles found this formation while a news media team was following him. The find of a body on its side, with foot prints and a hand print, led investigators to think that it was a Bigfoot that had fallen down and simply got back up. Critics think otherwise. I believe the cast is real. Noll was able to research the behaviour of primates and many of them recline when enjoying a treat. There would be no reason to think Bigfoot would do otherwise.
The initial examination of the cast is thought to be of a partial body print found 9/22/2000 during a BFRO expedition in southern Washington state. The cast is referred to as the "Skookum Cast" because it was found in the Skookum Meadows area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
The photo above shows the cast after most of the mud was removed. Standing beside it at the initial examination outside Seattle, are (from left):
- Physical Anthropologist and author, Dr. Grover Krantz
- Journalist and author, John Green
- Wildlife Biologist and author, Dr. John Bindernagel
Their conclusions: The imprint was not attributable to any recognized animal species. The imprint was most likely made by a living sasquatch.
These are the participants and the credentials that they hold:

Expedition Objectives
- Track physical evidence of Sasquatch through spoor (tracks, hair, scat, discarded food/cache, views)
- Observe wildlife sound responses to high volume broadcast of purported Sasquatch recorded calls
- Test viability of using Infra-red thermal & starlight imagery as nighttime detection tools for wildlife
- Entice wildlife into favorable tracking conditions and possible observations by placing bait food items
- Attract Sasquatch to favorable tracking conditions and potential viewing by placing pheromone chips
I cannot believe these people are lying or are involved in an elaborate hoax. What they found was real, and must be examined as an important find. Bigfoot is real, and we are closing in on him.
