See How They Run

DB Donlon
One of the main questions plaguing bigfoot researchers is the old perennial, “If bigfoot exists, why haven’t we caught one?” This is a serious question and it deserves serious consideration. Until recently, there weren’t many answers, either. At least, not available to the public. But privately researchers have been sharing [...]

Vocal Mimicry

Vocal mimicry in bigfoot has been talked about among researchers. However it is difficult enough to recognize a bigfoot sound let alone a bigfoot imitating birds or other animals.
Mimic is described by Wikipedia as:
“….any species that has evolved to appear similar to another successful species in order to dupe predators into avoiding the mimic, [...]

The Jennifer Syndrome

I have a friend at work by the name of Jennifer. Now when the topic of bigfoot research comes up in conversation she goes into a tirade usually along the lines of - Where’s the evidence? Where’s the body? Why hasn’t one been shot?
If you mention to her that all of these questions have already [...]

Peeping “Uncle Hairy”

It seems strange that an animal that supposedly is as shy and reclusive as the sasquatch would have gained the reputation for being a “peeping tom”.
The Free Dictionary defines a peeping tom as a person who stealthily peeks into windows.
There are numerous reports of sasquatches either observing people or looking in windows at people.

Be Prepared

If there is one recommendation in research that I try to live by and encourage others to do so also is “be prepared”. The Boy Scouts of America certainly picked an appropriate motto. Although I have not necessarily recorded anything significant I have tried to learn by my mistakes, have the correct gear and hopefully [...]

Habituation

Habituation is an interesting controversial subject in Sasquatch research. Over the years there have been several cases of people making claims of long term interactions with families of bigfoot. I have been fortunate enough to personally investigate two of these situations.
I have a Native American friend, John, who lives along the Illinois River in North-Central [...]

A Quiz and a Challenge - What are These Sounds in the Night?

One of the most interesting areas of research in wildlife is sounds. Whether it is different frogs croaking, bird singing or coyotes howling we can make recordings and do computer analysis of these sounds.
In the area of bird identification when so many times the birder is not able to see the vocalist because of heavy [...]

Nguoi Rung, a letter from Viet Nam

Mr. Courtney,
While looking for some information on the Internet, I encountered your website. At the time I was at work and was unable to pursue the website as well as I wanted. After spending much time on the website, I have decided to tell you something I have told to very few people. It brings [...]

Tree Breaks

I don’t like evaluating tree breaks or twists. I don’t recognize them as being bigfoot related. There are just too many other things they could be attributed to: storms, winds, old age. I don’t say that Uncle Harry didn’t do it as some type of territorial marker, I am just saying it is “not my [...]

Big Cat Crossing

The 29th of July I went to my favorite park squatchin’. There is about 4 miles of very curvy roads that meanders through heavily wooded hills.
It was 7:00 a.m. I was trying to beat the heat as the forecast was for temps in the upper 90’s.
There is a small farm with a very large dog [...]
