Kiamichi Mountains Adventures (Honobia) Expeditions Continue to Flourish

The Kiamichi Mountains Adventures (KMA) is a private organizations that is made up of members from various backgrounds that have extensive field experience in investigating Sasquatch sightings and activity for over a decade. Some of the members have been organizing, conducting, and leading Sasquatch field expeditions into the Kiamichi Mountains for more than 10 years.

This year (2016) has proven to what ever the members of KMA have been doing in the past and present are working. Expedition attendees continue to have sightings, hearing the most strangest of sounds, and the unexplained. Note: Not everyone is seeing a Bigfoot, but some do, some attendees travel from all over the world, for example in 2013 small group traveled from Sweeden, some have came from Canada. Here in the US there is Florida, Illinois, Ohio, California, Colorado, Idaho, Texas, Arkansas, and Utah.

In addition to leading field expeditions, the KMA have been involved in numerous field investigations where private citizens have reported strange activity near their homes. Examine our Field Investigation Files here in the blog for further information.

The 2016 spring expeditions are almost over, the summer is just to hot and miserable to be out in the woods. The KMA will start taking reservations or the fall 2016 expeditions soon. If you are interested contact immediatley the slots go fast.

2016 Honobia Bigfoot Conference Speaker Announcement (Tim Harjo)

Public Release Statement: April 13, 2016
From: Farlan Huff, Director


We are very excited to announce another great speaker giving a presentation at the 2016 Honobia Bigfoot Conference, Tim Harjo!
Tim Harjo is Native American (half Chickasaw & half Seminole) and possesses an extensive knowledge about the cultural beliefs, practices and Native ways of life. A large portion of this knowledge and insight was taught to him by his grandparents while growing up in rural Oklahoma. Tim was raised and taught in the traditional ways of life of two Native Peoples. In addition to speaking both the Chickasaw and Seminole languages, knowing history and stories of the two Nations, being an expert tracker/hunter, bow & arrow craftsman, drum and flute maker/player, etc.; Tim also discovered he had been gifted a natural ability to help others in the capacity known to many as a Spiritual Healer or Medicine Man. All of these things combined finds Tim being invited to various events and gatherings all over the U.S. Some of these travels is from Tim being a member of a Native American dance troupe, "The Chickasaw Dancers". A chance encounter with a "Tall Man" (Bigfoot) during childhood has led Tim down a path his whole life to experience and learn more about these mysterious people living in the woods. Part of that journey found Tim involved as a member of the popular TV documentary titled, "Bigfootville". Tim now enjoys sharing what he has learned about Bigfoot along his journey down this path and providing insight and behind the scenes stories surrounding his involvement in the filming of "Bigfootville".



1st Expedition of the Year-March 2016 (Honobia, Oklahoma)

Kiamichi Mountains Adventures brings in the new year with a bang. Even though it is March, it is the first field expedition for the year.

15 people attended the March expedition from all over the US. Not only Oklahoma, some traveled from Florida, Kansas, and Southern Texas. Some attended 4 days, the amount of activity was as always difficult to predict.

The first night was a huge discovery for some, lots of eyeshine with extremely tall dark upright figures walking on the ridge line up above the main base camp. Later the next day several members attempted to re-create the size and speed of what was observed walking on the ridge line, only to discover who or what was up there was very tall and had abilities to cover very uneasy terrain and speeds we (humans) are unable to accomplish.

Second night was experienced with little less activity, however the observations of more eyeshine and dark figures moving about in the woods near the base camp were enough to spark more interest into what is really going on in the woods. Few whoops and screams were head. Later into the night after everyone went to bed, few attendees heard several screams near the locations where everyone was sleeping.

Third night several other attendees arrived and experienced their own dark upright figures, eyeshine, howls, and strange whistles near the base camp. One individual had a rock land just inches away from him, several others were standing several yards away and was witness to the event. Several heard loud screams and one moan after everyone turned in for the night. The strange whistles were the highlight of the night. Several attendees on this trip have remarkable outdoors hunting and field experience. They could not come to a conclusion on what or who was making the continuous whistling sounds. Group of 10 were attempting to start a small fire at a remote camp when a low but very audible growl was heard by half the group. Two young ladies were standing just feet from where the growl came from, immediate search of the area revealed that no bear, mountain lions, wild hogs or wild dogs were present.

Fourth night was not as active, but not to disappoint, there was eyeshine, return calls of whoops made by some of the children that attended. Couple of rocks landed near some as the night went on. One person placed apples on the hood of his vehicle and the next morning two were discovered more than 50 yards away from the vehicle. Unknown who or what was the responsible for the moving of the apples.

All in all a very active and educational weekend for everyone. Friendships were made and best of all everyone walked away with their own stories of what they heard and saw.

2016 Honobia Bigfoot Conference Newest Conference Speakers!

M.K. Davis

 

For nearly twenty years M.K.Davis has studied and analyzed iconic films using imaging techniques that he learned in astro-photography. These techniques have resulted in some of the clearest and most stable versions of these films available.

 M.K. has always believed that such films as the Patterson Bigfoot film and the Kennedy assassination films might tell their own stories if the best versions were properly treated and rendered. This has mostly been the case.

 His work with the Patterson Bigfoot film has taken him far and wide across the country. He has researched the area where the film was shot and taken his own video of a possible Sasquatch there back in 2008.

 M.K. has been privileged to have worked with the Abraham Zapruder assassination film and also with the Orville Nix assassination film as well which has produced much new data about that event.

 M.K. lives in Mississippi with his wife Debbie. They have raised four children.

 M.K. has a youtube channel greenwave2010fb and a blog site thedavisreport.wordpress.com . Most of the videos are submitted for analysis and are left up to the viewer to be the judge of it.

  "The world is a mysterious and interesting place. It's not surprising that some of it might end up on film." -M.K.Davis

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Middle of November 2015 Kiamichi Mountains Expedition Report

This expedition proved to be another worth wild trip. Specially for 7 newcomers to the Kiamichi Mountains Adventures (Sasquatch Expedition). The temperature on the first night were a little chilly. Not much activity other than some small rocks being thrown near some of the attendees. Couple of attendees observed very large upright shadows moving about several yards away in the timber. One whistle was heard at close range back at base camp.

The second night proved to be the deluxe expedition package. A different location was identified by some of the attendees for their group investigative site. This location is only described as a darkened area of the forest where hardly any lights or stars can penetrate the canopy of the trees. The group was broken down into different base camps. The first group a party of two was on sight for little less  than 30 mins when extremely bright eyeshine was observed (est 150 yards away). Multiple sets of eyeshine began to appear coming down a ridge line meeting up with the first set of eyes. The second base camp group was summoned to this location where everyone had the opportunity to observe the eyeshine from different angles. The estimated number of individuals (typical Sasquatch behavior) with eyeshine were between 4-6. Hard to count the exact number of them due to the eyeshine moving about so quickly. Movement was also seen by the way of shadows very close to the group (est 50 yards away).

Numerous strange sounds were observed, one good very close proximity "whoop" was heard. After returning to the main base camp, several members conducted discreet surveillance where number of eyeshine and tall large dark figures were observed back in the main base camp area. More information will be added soon as all attendees submit their own reports.

Why Do Field Expeditions Matter? Research or Just Observe?

The Honobia Bigfoot Conference and Festival has been in operation since 2005. Since then it has grown immensely. The newest attraction that is connected to the conference portion is the field expeditions that are held throughout the year. The field expeditions are organized and led by one of the conference staff members and has been organizing field expeditions within the SE area of Oklahoma since 2006. Since 2006 there have been 30 public field expeditions on record and just over 20 private field expeditions.Why is that important? Well for one, the expedition staff have conducted enough of them to understand what works and doesn't work in the field. Sasquatch expeditions are not easy, you have to research/investigate enough areas to provide the attendees the "more than 50%" chance they may get to hear something, wish and pray that there is a better than 10% chance of someone getting to see something on the expedition.

There are a number of organizations and private individuals that provide field expeditions as well as "guided tours" into the wilderness for the purpose of educational and exposure to the world of "Bigfoot Research" some offer these excursions at a hefty price. Some will argue about the whole concept of charging for Bigfoot expeditions. In the case of the Kiamichi Mountains Adventures (which is the name of the Honobia expeditions) the decision to charge for these expeditions was examined, researched and questions for several years. The organizer and other staff members considered many options, having the attendees just pay for their own stay at cabins in the area, not everyone wanted to camp out under the stars, some attendees were not physically able to sleep on the ground, some wanted a more vacation style arraignment, the logistical matter of housing everyone, travel to and from the research site and accountability of all attendees during the expedition. After long and in depth discussions over the years the decision to charge was obvious. The amount was the most difficult one to make, the decision to charge different rates for different expectations is what is being suggested by all that attend the expeditions. Why is that so? Some people want different things when they attend any type of function or activity, in this case some want running water, showers, warm bed, and some want to sleep out and get the full experience of having something walk around your tent in the middle of the night. Do you charge for each member of the family? Do you give group rates? Do you pack them in to make the most of the money? or do you fill the expedition with people that have the right mindset? Do you take only the serious people? Do you fill only the number of people you feel safe in the field with? All questions plus more have come up over the years, So, we have settled with a suitable and affordable price for each packaged trip. (Contact honobiaoklachito@gmail.com for further details)

The expectation of what you will see and hear on a expedition is also a hard answer to give potential attendees. Each expedition is always different than the one before, never the same, just as anything in life. However you can ask any of the past attendees and they will tell you it is not what they expected. Like the organizer says's "I can't promise you a sighting or you will ever hear anything, but ask the previous attendees what they saw and heard" and it's true you can never predict the future, anyone that has ever gone on their own or a organized Bigfoot excursion that it's like fishing, sometimes you catch something and sometimes you don't. One thing that can be said about the Kiamichi Mountains Adventures, it's never boring and you learn more than just stuff about Bigfoot. You build friendships with people you never met, you learn more about the little part of Oklahoma few ever get to see or know about, you get to know little about the history of the state of Oklahoma you never heard about, and you get to use all of your senses at one time that most people hardly ever get the chance to do. The relaxation of being in the Kiamichi Mountains, where very little cell service, hardly no internet, and no TV allows you to concentrate of the quietness and the beauty of the mountains. In some cases possible Bigfoot prints (tracks) are discovered for the rare chance to attempt to track their travel paths. Just know that as long as any of the organizers have ever discovered a possible Bigfoot track they normally go for a few yards and then loose their track way, so no Bigfoot has ever been track down before. The organizers do a great job of directing the attendees on what to look for and how to look for clues, as well as what to look for in getting a sighting, YES, some people have seen a Bigfoot on one or more of the expeditions to these mountains. In all just a rough guess, that maybe out of all the public and private expeditions throughout the years, it can be proven that half the attendees have seen a Bigfoot, just about all can say they have heard things they can't explain and all can give witness to saying they got more out of the expedition than they ever thought.

The early spring (March, April, and May) Part of early summer (June) and through the fall to early winter (October, November, and December) are the open season for expeditions, the extreme heat and freezing cold has proven to be "no-go" for the Bigfoot as we like to call it. I would be safe to assume that the Bigfoot stay somewhere else, so we stay some where else as well. Just about all the trips are really a time of learning to observe or learn to use more of your observations skills than anything. Some trips there are times where collecting research data and possible evidence, depending on what happens on each trip usually will dictate what happens. Only thing that has a schedule for the expeditions are the meals, we 'go with the flow", you can't set your watch to Bigfoot time, and they are highly unpredictable so we learned along time ago whey try and go out at a certain time to do a certain activity, when the Bigfoot make it up as they go, so we like to call it "activity driven" schedule. The organizers have been in the field for more than 80 years (combined experience) so they know usually when the Bigfoot activity is and when it's isn't.

So the final question, is it worth the money? Depends on what you were expecting, as we said earlier that most get out of it more than they were expecting. You can read about Bigfoot on the computer, watch a TV show or a movie, read a book, but you can not replace any of that except for "real world experience". You can't make anyone a believer in Bigfoot, but what you can do, is show them the world of Bigfoot research and let them make up their own mind.

Insert: Tim (One of the organizers-standing to the right) is working with the two attendees from Canada on what to look for as far as evidence.

2015 Honobia Bigfoot Conference and Festival Post Report

This year' event was the biggest yet. We are still counting the attendance for both the festival and conference. However here was what went on:

There were more food vendors than last year. There were more things for the kids to do. There were some new vendors related to Bigfoot this year. If you were to drive around the property of Christ 40 acres you would have noticed that just about all the RV hook-ups were occupied and we had campers still arriving come Saturday. During the days of Friday (Oct 2nd) and Saturday (Oct 3rd) there were estimated to be at least 280 people camping (including vendors and staff) on the property. Estimated attendance to the festival for both days over 1900 (official count not in)

The conference was a great success. Conference staff was approached by many to voice their opinion that this year will be hard to beat. There was a who's who in the crowd at the conference, M.K. Davis was spotted, Craig Woolheater (Cryptomundo), Lyle Blackburn (author and researcher), and the well known spearkers Ron Morehead, Scott Nelson, Harvey Pratt, and Dr. Web Sentell. When the TV show cast from "Killing Bigfoot" was in the room asking questions, you couldn't find a empty seats, actually staff had to search for extra chairs, at one point there were more than 250 people counted in the room and more walking in. Unofficial estimated attendance for both days were over 900.  During the conference Tom Hefner (Past Committee President) the founder of the Honobia Bigfoot Scholarship asked conference organizer Troy Hudson to step up and announced that the Honobia Bigfoot Conference had donated $500.00 dollars to the Murray State College Folklore class for further educational functions. Prof Marvin Leeper the lead instructor for the folklore class was on hand to accept the donation. There were multiple students from the class and Murray State College on hand, including one that actually was awarded the school scholarship from Clayton schools to attend Murray State College this year.

The storytelling again was a big hit with everyone. People came from all over Oklahoma just to attend the storytelling. One family drove all the way from Oklahoma City just to attend storytelling. Young and old, tall and short got up and told their stories. Friday nights attendance by the peak of the night was 275 and Saturday nights count was 312.

2015 Honobia Bigfoot Conference Update (Just One Month Away)

Hello Folks

The days are counting down. Here is some of the latest information coming in from the Honobia Bigfoot Conference Staff.

ATTENTION!!! We have an exciting announcement about this year's Honobia Bigfoot Conference (Oct 2nd-3rd). The same Executive Producer and Film Crew that brings us the thrilling "Biggest & Baddest" program on National Geographic Wild http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/biggest-baddest/ will be at the Honobia Bigfoot Festival & Conference filming and conducting interviews for the soon to be hit show http://www.destinationamerica.com/…/killi…/meet-the-hunters/ , "KILLING BIGFOOT" airing on the "Destination America" channel early 2016. Following presentations by Dr. Samuel Webb Sentell, Harvey Pratt, Ron Morehead and Scott Nelson..Members from the "Killing Bigfoot" cast will give their presentation..making statements and also taking questions regarding their views on harvesting a specimen to prove Bigfoot's existence to science. Yes, the title of the show is controversial, as is the action it implies. Please note the Show's presence at the Conference in no way implies that the Honobia Bigfoot Conference supports efforts to kill a Bigfoot; nor should this statement be interpreted in any way as a statement against the "Killing Bigfoot" TV series. The Honobia Conference regards the subject of Bigfoot as a serious topic. Part of the discussions anywhere about Bigfoot are always going to include a discussion on what evidence will be needed to prove to the scientific establishment and to academia that Bigfoot does indeed exist. We noticed this statement on the "Killing Bigfoot" Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/killingbigfoot?fref=ts "...the no-kill group who believe Bigfoot is human-like and should only be communicated with, from afar and be left alone: they will have their day and will be heard loud and clear in the series." The Honobia Bigfoot Conference staff realizes full well the explosive nature of the subject but does not expect there to be any type of misconduct
from either side of a debate. Please come join us at Honobia! Everyone is welcome to listen to and participate in the discussions, meet the great lineup off guest speakers, including some of the cast from the "Killing Bigfoot" TV series, PLUS...meet the show's Producer, Peter Von Puttkamer, and members of his film crew...you may even wind up on TV

 

 

There are numerous vendors scheduled to be there (30) one will be from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, they will be on hand to sale their Choctaw Bigfoot shirts.

 

 

 

Make sure you are there Friday night for storytelling. It starts just before sundown, it will be held on the little hill across from the steeltent next to the pavillion.

 

 

 

 

 

We have also heard a rumor that one of our staff members has been asked to be on a world wide recognized radio show (Coast to Coast AM) on Saturday September 26th. Soon as we have more details we will post it here on our blog. Time is counting down, see everyone soon.
