For many in the Bigfoot Community who are newer, you won't have much of a clue who Ed Smith is, or the Daisy in the Box incident that led to his ultimate dismissal from the Bigfoot Community, never to show his face again.

Originally, he approached the MABRC on their forums, with lots of great technical talk and detail to what he was posting, this in turn led to some trust being developed before things slowly became stagnant with Ed and all his promises and claims.

Then one fateful day, he announced "Daisy is in the box" on the MABRC Forums without consulting anyone and the Internet exploded.

This is the book, complete with screen captures, documents and more, that tells the story of that Incident and the key scenes that led to it all.  So delve into the book, it's being released for free, and keep abreast of any additional information that is placed here about it.

On June 19, 2009, Cherokee Rose and myself, went out to the location with the intention of setting up a listening post. On June 18, 2009, the landowners had left a message for us that they had found a possible track, although it was only 8 inches long. I called them back the morning of the 19th, and told them we would be heading out there with some daylight left, so we could examine the track.

The landowners expressed a desire to go out with us to the listening post, their curiosity was peaked about the recent events around their location.

Here is the interview we did with them the next day after the grass ball incident, in which they went over the exact things that are placed here, stating the story was accurate.  (For the individual who snuck down recently and claimed he recorded a conversation with the landowners, going around my back in my research areas, suck it.)

 Part One of the Interview

Part two of the Interview

We arrived, and they took us down to where the possible track was, and it appeared to be a juvenile track several weeks old, you could even see the mid-tarsal break and what looked like toes possibly. The track was uncastable due to its age, but photos were taken.

We then traveled down the trail for about another 3/4 mile to the field where the Feb. sighting had occurred. At the time, everyone thought we would be setting the listening post up where the sighting occurred last Thursday, but instead, I suggested going down to the end of the trail. This brought us up to the field and the gate there, and the land owner asked if we wanted to go to the other side of the field into the woods, but instead, I opted to plant us in the middle of the 40 acre plus field on the slope where we had an unobstructed view of the whole area. The average height of the vegetation in the field was about 3 feet high.

There were about 20 head of cattle on one end of the field, and they would never approach us. We also could see a large herd of deer moving along the edges of the field.

We set up our chairs with everyone facing down slope, with me occasionally looking up towards the top of the slope. As darkness fell, I put a small battery powered lantern on top of the blazer, hoping to attract attention.

About an hour after complete darkness, the landowner's son was sitting on the 4 wheeler when something hit him in the back, and we assumed that it was a bug flew into him. Then the landowner's wife was struck in the stomach with something, and thought it was a bug. This all began about 10 PM. About 5 minutes later, something struck her foot, and she was sitting furthest away from everyone. Her son took a flashlight and was looking for a rock when he found a bundle of grass that had been wrapped up with other pieces of grass, and made into basically a ball. Moments later, another object struck her, and this time it happened when a light was shining on her and the object was seen falling to the ground, it was the same type of bundled grass that had been found earlier.

I took the objects that we found and took a picture of them, I then took my night scope and began looking the surrounding area over, to our southwest in the far corner of the field, I spotted a large bi-pedal animal coming up towards us, when I painted him with the IR light on night scope, it ducked down into the vegetation. I handed the night scope to Cherokee Rose and she observed for about 5 minutes on that location and it never got back up. I would estimate it was about 7 feet tall, as a good portion of it was viewable over the height of the vegetation. It was also light color, either light brown or even possibly greyish. It is a possibility that it's the light brown one that was seen last week by the landowner's wife.

We had done a controlled wood knock at 9:30 PM, and after the creature was seen in the corner of the field, we began hearing single wood knocks at approx. 1 minute intervals traveling in the wood line to our west near the gate to the field. The distance was approximated at about 100 feet between knocks traveling to the north.

By 11:00 PM, the "balls" of grass being thrown and started slowing down, and I decided it was time for a face to face to occur with the thrower, so I picked up my small flashlight and walked out to where we thought the creatures would be laying, throwing the grass at us. I traveled about 75 feet out into the brush, and discovered trails were something had been crawling through and even where they had been possibly pulling the grass up.

While I was out there hoping to surprise one into standing up. A grass "ball" was thrown from the opposite side of where we were sitting, hitting the landowner's son in the back. With this, we got spotlights out and began going through the field trying to jump anything, as we felt there were several creatures in the field with us now. No sooner than we returned to our sitting area, one last "ball" came sailing in. After that, things calmed down and the landowners expressed a desire to leave since they had to get up early the next morning to go on a trip.

We all headed back, with all the collected grass "balls"; in plastic baggies for evidence. My biggest wish was that I would have had some thermal imaging that night, I could have found where they were laying and approached them at a run with the camera ready and got a good picture.

The landowner and his son just before the grass balls come sailing in.  At first we suspected the father and son were possibly throwing them at the wife, so Cherokee Rose and I kept a close eye on them until we realized it was neither of them doing it.

Cherokee Rose with the landowner’s wife, when dark fell she began playing on her cell phone, which lit her up and made her a target for the grass balls.

The first three grass balls that were collected, during this picture being taken, and everyone present was standing around these, we watched as a 4^th grass ball came sailing over and landed in the middle of us all.

The next day we went out to look over the area where this occurred, this is photos of the treaded down grass where something had crawled up to a point not more than 50 feet from where we sat.

A view of where we were setting from the spot concluded where whatever was throwing the grass balls at us was laying down at.

This is the spot where it appeared something was laying at and throwing the grass balls at us.

We deduced this by the fact that the grass had been snapped off in this spot, the same type of grass that the balls were made out of.

A view from behind the vegetation that the thrower would have been behind throwing the balls at us.

The picture above and following are the measurements of some of the grass balls including the close ups for them.  Eventually we tried to preserve them by spraying acrylic coating over them, this allowed us to keep them for about 7 years before the organic material decomposed to the point that they crumbled.  I want to thank Paul Vella for his help in trying to preserve the grass balls with his advice.

While going through the vast archives of Bigfoot material that is hosted on the MABRC Cloud File Server, I discovered some audio recordings that had been archived without going through them.  I know, bad D.W., bad.

This event discussed here occurred September 28-29, 2017 at the MABRC Research Area known as "The Crossing", it leads up into "The Valley" research area.  Dave "Squatchfinder" Ganote and myself were going to conduct a listening post the night of the 28th, into the morning of the 29th, and then head into town for breakfast.  As usual when it's just Squatchfinder and myself, instead of setting up tents and air mattresses and all that, we usually just climb into our vehicles when we get tired and sleep in them.  

On this night, we had built a fire, to illuminate the fact that we were there for any Bigfoot in the area in hopes that they would get curious and come out of the valley and we could get thermal of them.  As we got tired, I set up the thermal on it's pole and pointed it into the valley, letting it record all night in case something came out.

I also set an audio recorder on the back of the cab of my truck so it would record audio all night while we sat around the campfire and then while we were asleep.

After I climbed in the back seat of my truck (an extended cab Dodge) you can hear my soft snoring on the recording when I fell asleep.

The recorder began picking up sticks and branches being broke nearby, this started about 51 minutes after I turned in, you can hear my faint snoring while the branches are being snapped.  I'm going to add a few files here to show what the recorder was picking up.

Tree Breaking at the 1 hour mark

Whatever it was, was still messing in the woods around us 4 hours and 20 minutes later.

After about 6 hours and 39 minutes, something appears to be thrown through the branches of several trees, it's not heard landing on the recording, but there were soft patches of sand and grass around the area that might have dampered the noise of impact.

Now this next file is over 5 minutes long, I wanted to give enough audio before and after so that you can hear what is going on before and after.  At 7 hours and 17 minutes, there is something on two legs that comes out and walks right beside my truck, and what makes it a little numbing, is that Squatchfinder and I both sleep in our vehicles with the windows down, unless it's really cold, then we leave them cracked so we can hear what's going on around us.  After about a minute after the sounds of the first footsteps, another set of footsteps is heard on the recorded audio, whether this is the same individual or a second one, we can't really know.  From the sounds of all the activity, whatever it was, came up behind my vehicle, which was pointed frontwards towards "The Valley" and the back was up to a tree line.

After this happened, whatever it was that had walked by my truck, was still hanging around until it was almost daylight, as at 7 hours and 27 minutes, it could be heard moving or breaking branches on trees.

Now can I say it was Bigfoot doing all this??  No, while it did happen in an extremely active area, this area also sees a lot of people parking in the general area to smoke weed and drink alcohol.  There are only two small roads that lead into the area, and both are where you can see headlights and hear the cars creaking as they go through ruts and mudholes.  So chances it was someone playing tricks on us are pretty slim since we would have heard vehicles come down into the area on the recorder.

Now onto listening to the next audio recording.
