"No history is without myth. No myth is without history," Meldrum said.
Sometimes stories were told to serve as a warning to children to not stay out late because of the dangers in the woods, he said.
"Are these just boogie man stories? Are these just things the natives tell their kids to keep them in line?" Meldrum asked. "Are these just stories or do they have some thread of truth?"
Meldrum showed possible Bigfoot footprint casts and showed the differences in what are believed to be real and fabricated prints. The evidence in the footprints is what he said he finds most compelling.
He discussed the realities of the video recording of Bigfoot walking into the woods and said even though people have come out and said they were in a Bigfoot suit, the reality is the body proportions just don't match up for it to be a human in a costume.
Meldrum told the students at lunch after the lecture that he became interested in Bigfoot as a young boy. He said it was when the video of Bigfoot walking in the woods emerged that he became curious about Bigfoot. That curiosity developed more in later years as his study of science and primates slowly turned into a study of Bigfoot, Meldrum said. He continues his research on Bigfoot and the evidences to support his theory, he said.

Been hunting Black Bear for 30 years in Northern California(hoopa valley, indian valley)and the circumstances surrounding a picture event in Dec.2005 (handprint) make its existence indisputable to me. (Continued…)
