Interview with MK Davis: "The Elucidator"

I have become so intrigued by the Bigfoot videos MK Davis has been releasing online for some time now, I just had to talk to this quiet man about his motivations and his take on all things Bigfoot and video evidence.

In his melodic speaking voice, MK explained to me that he was first involved in astrophotography of distant reaches of the galaxy. That focus on elucidating detail from vague images and keeping a steady hand to get the best possible photograph led to the skills that would make him established in the field of Bigfoot researchers.

(MK's photograph of the Orion nebulae and a star)

MK applied a rule from astrophotography to the world of Bigfoot video; if you improve resolution of the film by 1%, you will find 10 new things.

I have decided to give this earnest expert the moniker,"The Elucidator." He earned that name not just from his hobby, but also from being the first to stabilize the Patterson-Gimlin film. He began reviewing it in 1997 and then released the first stabilized images in the early 2000s. He believed by applying that 1% principle, the PG film would speak for itself. And the public listened.

Late at night after his family was asleep, so as not to disrupt the routine, exhausting all his spare time, tediously working by hand, he stabilized that film. When he hit the "preview" button, his jaw dropped. He was seeing it with such clarity that had never been viewed before.

Immediately, MK sent copies off to others. Bobbie Short put the film up on her Bigfoot Encounters site. Later, he replaced the black and white version with a color one. This film has been seen repeatedly over the years and even today utilized by other researchers attempting to learn more from this elucidated version. MK may not get credit and appreciation for what he did, but he had his hand in giving us the best images of Patty, which will likely go down in history as the first genuine film of a Bigfoot ever.

Although some associate MK with the "massacre" theory (that Patty in the Patterson-Gimlin film was actually shot with a gun), that was not a conclusion he suggested. He gathered all the visual evidence he could, shared it with a group of experts and allowed them to decide what to do with it and what conclusions to make. From their findings, these people released theories that caught on like wildfire and mutated over time and the telling.

If you look at his star photography, you can see that MK is of the belief--show me this world as clearly as you can and let me stand back, stare, and wonder. He does not spoon-feed people the answers, nor does he make money and fame from this endeavor. Like anyone with an expertise and determination, he has found his purpose and is living up to his potential to reveal to the world something they will need to come to terms with as our world gets smaller and Bigfoot becomes less elusive.

If MK stopped at the Pattrson film, he already had achieved a major goal for a tenacious man who believes that if these things are there for us to study, we owe it to ourselves to meticulously clarify the film to make the best observations and theories and begin the discussion about this amazing find.

You can see his character and his hard work in the recent series of videos he has been allowing to be viewed online. Many of these can be found at this YouTube Channel and are featured on Bigfoot Evidence and Bigfoot Encounters sites. He hopes to open a discussion, allow people to have the best possible images. He remarks his goal is for people to, "slow down and observe. They don't need to figure it out, but tuck it away. Then, when they're ready, look for answers." Like his trickling release of videos online, MK understands that viewers need to digest the cumulative videos and assimilate this introduction to a world rarely seen.

There has been a lot of talk amongst a certain crowd of irritable and angry trolls in the Bigfoot realm that these videos are from a hoaxer, but MK is assured these films were not taken by one person, but several and he has spoken to them all and understands the context in which they were taken and their validity. As well, the videos were taken of such a great distance that it would be an exceptionally poor hoaxer who expects to use it as proof. He has also recently begun enhancing audio 2500 times over to find conversations going on with a language that is vague and unfamiliar, calls, whistles and grunts. A hoaxer who hoped to use such evidence would not record it at such a low level hoping that someone came along to amplify it thousands of times over to find it. He also found a video with "Whitey" the white Bigfoot who goes onto all fours with a strange gallop that brings his feet up around his head as he leapfrogs at incredible speeds. MK saw a Bigfoot do this in person previously on a roadway. It passed 15 feet ahead of him in the headlights, crossing the road in that same on-all-four fashion that confounded and amazed him. This is not a common knowledge or an easy thing to hoax by any human.

MK is given videos from lots of people and if he finds something of worth in them, he will work them to the finest detail to allow us to see the best images and be able to come to our own conclusions. He will tell you what his expert eye see, but he is not willing to state a conclusion on anything as video can be a subjective experience for each viewer depending on their open-mindedness or their belief systems.

(With his eye for detail, as he uses in astronomy, he found Patty's footprints in the sandy ground)

Many don't realize this, but MK is an outdoorsman too. He has been all over the country and in the field, hiking, as well as going to the infamous Bluff Creek location on foot, and heading out with others on excursions to seek encounters. The fact that this technical expert wishes to understand the setting in which video is taken shows the integrity involved in his search for precise evidence.

He also filmed the largest tornado ever caught on video on April 24, 2010. MK says it was one of the most difficult things he'd ever done. He called it a "Yellow Tornado" because of the high amount of pollen in the vortex that gave it a yellow tinge.

It is obvious that MK appreciates nature, the wonders of our universe including the vast stellar finds and even those right here beside us awaiting refinement to appreciate. As he hones in on the stars, so does he on videos, giving clarification and elucidating from that which is vague so as a community of mankind, we can pause, study, and make conclusions on our own personal level.

His is a service that I appreciate and I applaud him for making these videos available and as clear as possible so I can begin to come to my own understanding of the "others."

When asked about more videos coming out, the studious researcher proclaimed, "oh yes."

And this interviewer smiled.

Don Monroe Case Files: Unusual Carving Unearthed!

Life-long explorer, adventurer and researcher, Don Monroe, has a million stories to tell, only he's been on the road nonstop, busy hiking the back country in dozens of countries, climbing the highest peaks and crawling in the deepest caves to understand this natural world we live in. He has hunted, tracked, trapped, cast footprints, talked to Native people, continued several-decade long ongoing research projects, devoured tons of research books, and ultimately sought answers about every aspect of nature and all the mysteries within. During those travels, he came across many unusual things. What I am presenting now is one of them - Don Monroe and a researcher friend named Massey, were up at about 7000 feet on Anaconda Range in Montana. They were tracking a bear when Don noted something sticking out of the ground, just a bit of something, but didn't look like a regular rock. In this remote area at that elevation, the idea of running across something man-made was unlikely. He s...

Cemetery Safety Bells, Morbid Death Mementos and Superstitions

(funeral memento - above - with woven hair of the dead included) Giving up our dead is never an easy task and it doesn't matter what region of the world or what era you grew up in, it's full of rituals and also many superstitions. Let's have a look at how we have handled death - (cemetery bell system - above) During the cholera epidemic in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, people feared being buried when they weren't completely dead. Many reported digging up graves of loved ones to find signs they fought inside the coffin to get out. As this would nearly be an impossibility with the weight of the earth on the coffin and lack of oxygen, the rumors did start hysteria. Patents were put out for these bells that would allow the newly awakened buried person to pull a string, ring a bell above ground that the groundskeeper could hear. Imagine how freaking chilling that would be to actually hear one go off? I had an idea for a zombie story about that but never got aroun...

The Urban Sasquatch Journal: Stick Glyphs

This is the reporting by a Bigfoot researcher of an ongoing study in the Southern part of the United States in a very large park area near homes and urban setting. LINK TO PRIOR INSTALLMENTS STARTING WITH #1 Journal Volume 3 Report #50 Saturday November 26, 2016 I arrived at the park approximately 9:52 AM. The temperature was 65 and cool. It was partly cloudy with high clouds. I had my bike with me and rode the trail first. This took 44 minutes. I was back to back to my car at 10:48 AM. I then got my pack then rode over to the site. The goal of the trail ride was to observe any new tree breaks, twists or limbs etc. broke over the trail. Also to see if any stick signs were along the trail in the grass. I did observe several interesting items on the east end. These I photographed. Trail ride observations with photos. These cover photos 1-8. #1. thru #3. Between mile markers 2.75 and 3.0 , on the north side of the trail, approximately 10' inside the treeline, these possible stick ...

Monsters in the Deepest Ocean!

The ocean takes up the majority of the surface on our world and yet so little of what is in it is known to us. Upon occasion, we come across some real mysteries, tantalizing glimpses that make us wonder. For a long time, the giant squid (above) was a legend until it was finally filmed underwater. What other legends might tell us what is in the sea? One creative thinker in 1570 drew up the sea monsters that lay in the waters outside of Iceland. Scientist and artist, Abraham Ortelius had some very fanciful ideas of what awaited the seafarer. He also pondered what might live in the Pacific Ocean. In 1644, another artist/scientist drew up what he thought might lurk in the waters off of Africa. Willem Blaeu had quite an interesting vision. In 1727, Peter Kolb envisioned a sea lion of interesting characteristics - In present day, we still run across things in the sea that puzzle us. Here is one such thing photographed at Hook Island. It was estimated to be 75-80 feet long and to this day the...

Obscure Horror Movies of the 70s and 80s

Terror of Doll Island!

Photo source Isla de las Munecas or "Island of the Dolls" (popularly coined "Doll Island") is a thing of horror for many. Why would an island filled with dolls for decades, laid to waste by the elements and neglect, be terrifying? Well, let me introduce you to its most unsettling beginnings. Don Julian Santana was unhappy with city life and moved to an island on a canalway south of Mexico City for peace and quiet. It was there that the legend begins and takes on a life that is animated enough to bring the dead to life. Don reported that a little girl had drowned in the canal 50 years ago and he believed her spirit to be troubled and haunting his little island. He said that he was out one day when he saw a doll floating in the canal and scooped it out, hanging it up on a tree near the drowning spot to make the girl eternally happy so she would not haunt and scare him. He then became consumed with finding more and more dolls, fishing them out of the canal, sorting t...

Ghost Ships and Fata Morgana Mirages

Fata Morgana Fata Morgana is a complex superior mirage. In this instance, in the horizon a narrow band seen can separate an image, casting what looks like another image superior to the original object. In the image above it appears as if the ship is in the air. Below, the image shows a repeat of it up in the air. Sometimes, the image can be inverted. This occurs when rays of light are bent when they pass through layers that are different temperatures. Flying Dutchman This legend is talked about among sailors since the late 1700s. The tale says that there was a ship's captain sailing around the most dangerous ocean strait, the Cape of Good Hope. He cursed the elements and swore he would make it no matter what. The ship went down and all perished, but they are said to continue as a ghost ship for eternity in the region of the Southern tip of Africa because of the arrogance. In fact, the legend was picked up and modified for many countries and many sea locations. Perhaps it wa...

Present Day Russian Neanderthal?

Regions with Bigfoot-type bipedal creatures have their own local names for these types. In Russia and Siberia, they are referred to as the Almas by the Mongolian people and Almasty by the Russians. These beings are described as between 5 feet tall and 6-1/2 feet tall; much shorter than the typical American Bigfoot. They are said to have reddish brown hair, flat noses, a pronounced brow ridge, and weak chin. This is a classic Neanderthal face. One thing we don't know about Neanderthal is if they were hair covered. With hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to the climate of the Altai mountains and cold northern regions, they likely were. A boy in Russia ( LINK ) found some prints that were attributed to a possible yeti. When you look at it, however, it resembles a Neanderthal print quite a bit with the pronounced inner curve and the angle from big to little. Could Neanderthal still exist in Russia and Mongolia? It would be as likely as my theory that the Bigfoot are d...

The Most Bizarre Photographic Finds On Mars!

Mars explorers have sent back photos of some rather unusual, sometimes vague, and often times puzzling items on the surface of the "dead" planet. This has us wondering, if our own planet no longer supported life, would all the evidence of our having been here be covered up by a millennia of earth, leaving only the occasional hint someone might have been here? Here's a look at a large gallery of photos from the red planet. You come to your own conclusions.... Th e one above, I will chalk up to optical illusion. The stone is actually on the ground in the distance. In the foreground is a rock casting a shadow. Are we looking at a planet that seems to be dead and yet it has a history of life? What if a civilization that was quite advanced had the opportunity to leave a sick planet for a healthy one not so far away in terms of space travel? Is Mars a planet that never supported life or is it a planet that sustained life long enough to build an entire civilization now buried ...
