I'll avoid the easy shots and ask a simple question. First, look at his "three-fold list of Factors Necessary for a Spectacular Species to Remain 'Hidden' from Science."
Has there been any case like this in the past 50 years in any area that is not extremely isolated?
Actually, has there been a case like this in the last 100 years anyplace?
Yes, folks, morons do live among us and they will go to great lengths to "prove" bizarre things to themselves and others.
However, what follows here is, I will admit, hypothetical speculation, but perhaps conjecturization (my own word) here is quite justified.
Once you start making up your own words, it's easy to make up other stuff, too.
This hilarious comment sums up the entire blog post nicely:
Once you see a creature that modern science says shouldn’t exist it tends to change your perspective on life.
I think that was part of the appeal of LSD.
1) The species must live in a very sparsely populated area.
Like the Southeastern United States. One of the most remote and inhospitable places on earth. Europeans didn't set foot there until the 1920s, as I recall.
Perhaps some credit should be given to Scott Maruna for at least openly acknowledging his Fortean approach to these matters.

As a form of literature or philosophy, Fortean wankery is surely entertaining. I admit to enjoying it myself. One of the greatest comedic screenwriters who ever lived -- Ben Hecht -- was an admirer of the Fortean approach to the world.
But given their general antipathy towards Sasquatch and other paranormal pseudoscientific crud, most of the usual fans of the Rediscovered IBWO do not appear to accept the label without indignation. They take themselves rather seriously, to say the least.
Where is this Black Forest in Pennsylvania?
