1974 September 8, Penelope McPhee, “man against myth: the search for Bigfoot”, in The Spokesman-Review Sunday Magazine, page 14, column 4:Morgan is indeed soaring. Not only does he have generous financial backing (a far cry from his previous outings which were financed by hard work and perspiration), but he has, too, the expertise of some of the nation’s most prestigious scientists. His scientific advisory board reads like the “Who’s Who?” But this is a new dimension of Bigfootology. When Morgan applied to the National Science Foundation for a grant only five years ago, his application was rejected. No reputable scientist would even talk to him about a man-like ape (or ape-like man) roaming the American wilderness.
1999, Paul Buchanan, Wild Ride on Bigfoot Mountain (Heebie Jeebies; 6), Nashville, Tenn.: Broadman & Holman Publishers, →ISBN, page 68:“What is it with you and garlic?” Riley asked in the dark. “That’s exclusively for vampires.” / “Well, what do you use for Bigfeet?” I asked. / Riley shrugged. “You’ve got me,” he said. “The field of Bigfootology is still in its infancy. But I’m pretty sure garlic would just tick him off.”
2011, Jack Wolfsblume, “Mysterious Sightings”, in Paranormal, Waverley Books, →ISBN, page 30:Anyone who turns up with indisputable proof of Bigfoot’s existence stands to make a lot of money; in such a commercial atmosphere it is perhaps not surprising that the world of ‘Bigfootology’ is rife with accusations of fraud and fabrication – not to mention legal disputes.
