Eyewitness Encounter – Northern California, 1978

Good morning. :)

As I attempt to steer this blog towards a new direction, I’d like to begin by sharing with you an eyewitness encounter that was sent to me via email.

Certain details shared by this witness stand out to me: particularly, that Thom felt he found evidence of a small family unit using a natural “den” for shelter. This has been corroborated by the gentleman I’ve been working with who has observed individuals at length, though the actual structure of the shelter itself differs due to the difference in vegetation between the two locations.

News article: New book tells tall tale, but not necessarily a false one

On Sept. 22, 2005, Brookings resident Travis Cover was driving on a remote section of US Highway 199 when he saw something that he said scared the tar out of him: a hulking 9-foot tall creature standing by the side of the road, shielding its eyes from the glare of headlights.

Cover knew exactly what is was. Based on another chance meeting with a mysterious creature when he was 12 years old, Cover was convinced it was the elusive, foul-smelling humanoid mammal called Bigfoot.

Bigfoot’s head: pointed or rounded?

More goodies from the database.

The fact that I have a text field on the submission form that allows the observer to state, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, the shape of the head brings some interesting data forward. The question on the report submission form is stated as follows: “Was the head rounded or pointed or ?”

The trouble is trying to get accurate numbers of round heads, pointed heads, egg-shaped heads, conical heads, oval heads, oblong heads… well, you get the picture.

Bigfoot Trap in Southern Oregon – Video

This is a really nicely done video on the Southern Oregon Bigfoot trap.

Description posted by Youtuber Scott Walt:

Southern Oregon is home to what is most likely the only official Bigfoot trap in the world. The ten by ten structure was built back in the early 70s by special permit. A wildlife research team out of Eugene, Oregon was inspired to build the structure by sightings from far back as the late 18-hundreds to up to the time they constructed the trap.

It wasn’t an easy task. In 1974, Applegate dam that now impounds Applegate lake didnt even exist and the hike up to the construction site was a long and hard one from the valley below.
