Low-Resolution Highlights of Squeaky footage from North Carolina, 2009

The full video is roughly 3.5 minutes long. This clip shows the best parts (the most movement), in slightly lower resolution than what is possible.

You can pay a few bucks to see the entire raw footage at www.bushloper.net or you can wait a few weeks for the full version in better resolution (not a whole lot better resolution though). Mike Greene will make the whole raw footage available for download, eventually, so you can rewind and watch it multiple times.

The download will cost a few bucks also, but it's still much cheaper than a DVD.

Greene feels he deserves something in return for the intermittent two (2) year effort he made to get this footage. We can't argue with him. It's his footage. All we could do was compromise. The compromise was to create a free version on YouTube with the best parts of the footage -- everything you'd really need to see.

The full raw footage (3.5 min.) includes the *intervals* between the moves of the animal. You certainly don't see more activity in the raw footage (the pay version).

It was a good compromise because it allowed us to show the parts of the footage and the story that we want people to see. Mike still retains a small revenue stream thogh, in the form of pay downloads to see the uninterrupted raw footage.

This footage was was obtained using a new technique that others should try. That is what makes it very important footage.

On Bigfoot's trail

In her day job as an archaeologist, Kathy Moskowitz Strain looks for traces of people who dwelt long ago in the Stanislaus National Forest.

At night and on weekends, she searches for something else: Bigfoot.

The legendary creature has fascinated Strain since she was a girl. The 40-year-old Jamestown resident has looked for Bigfoot evidence in Tuolumne County and beyond, and she has documented sightings by other people.

"Footprints, plus the traditional Native American stories about Bigfoot, have convinced me that something is out there," she said.

Strain has spoken at Bigfoot conferences around the country and appeared on "MonsterQuest" on the History Channel.

She has just written a book that combines her interests in Bigfoot and Native Americans. The book, "Giants, Cannibals & Monsters: Bigfoot in Native Culture," has more than 150 stories from the Arctic to Florida.

Strain, a Porterville native, has bachelor's and master's degrees from California State University, Bakersfield. She is married to Bob Strain, a retired Folsom firefighter, and has two sons, Zackary, 16, and Jacob, 11.
