Bill Emery:
I would like to take some time here and tell the folks out there in bigfoot country how some of us operate as bigfoot researchers. Our rule is never ever judge anybody. Over the years we have investigated sightings that were not bigfoot related. This does not mean the reporter was lying or trying to pull a fast one. They simply saw something they could not identify. We treat all reports with complete respect and would never turn over any name or report to anyone other than the person who reported it .
We do not work with law enforcement. We have found police sometimes have their own agenda on bigfoot reports and really don't believe in the animal anyway.
When a person sees bigfoot they are confused, scared and feeling a huge amount of anxiety. Some researchers will use reports for their own publicity and don't care if we ever get the proof for bigfoot protection because they have made it their livelihood.
They like to use the word "we're professionals." When a researcher starts acting like an FBI agent then people start to believe all of us are the same. Let me assure people there's many good people in this field along with the bad. One needs to research the person before contacting him.
Any affidavit from a bigfoot investigator is nothing more than a bogus attempt to try to trap the person into not reporting the sighting. People need not ever sign any form nor paper for any bigfoot sighting because there is no reason for us to have such a document. It all starts with trust not distrust.
