Frequently Asked Questions:

Bigfoot in Oregon? Where?

Visit the database for information on sightings in nearly every county in Oregon. If you come across a sighting in an area you know about, email me. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the area, especially if you've heard other stories about that place. If you're here because you've had a sighting, footprint find or other encounter or know someone who has, by all means submit your report!

Where are all the photos?

Have you ever tried to photograph a bear in the wild? Wait... have you ever even SEEN a bear in the wild? How about photographing a bear who walks on two legs and who can tiptoe? How about trying to take a picture of a bear who's standing behind dense vegetation, in the dark, and can see you, but you can't see it, and it's primary method of survival is its ability to avoid people with guns by being very quiet and clever? Ever try to photograph something behind a bush in the dark, with a FLASH?

That said, the photos, videos, sound files, etc. are here:

I run a Yahoo Group where ALL the media files that I have will be available there for download. Membership is open to all.

How do I look for Bigfoot?

Spend time in the woods in the dark, if you're brave enough. Learn to be quiet. Beyond that, I'll be posting a section on signs to look for soon, so stay tuned.

If I see one, shouldn't I shoot it? I'll be famous!

OregonBigfoot.com takes a STRICTLY passive approach to research and strongly condemns anyone who would kill something just to appease their curiosity or to acquire fame and fortune (which is unlikely in any event!) We do not carry guns in the field and do not allow firearms, stunguns, tranq guns or any other weapon on our research trips.

Is Bigfoot dangerous?

Not especially. Bigfoot's behavior, as reported by thousands of witnesses, can certainly be unnerving or sometimes terrifying, but in nearly ALL cases the creatures will avoid confrontation, using creative means to discourage a witnesses' continued presence in an area. What many researchers tout as examples of "aggression" are simply Bigfoot's way of saying "go away". Screaming, throwing small objects, shaking trees and stomping are all ways these creatures use to communicate their displeasure. However, these are not normally followed by physically aggressive behavior if the witness doesn't leave.

If I tell you about my experience will there be people showing up on my doorstep?

No. We are careful not to divulge specific information about location if a) the witness requests that we do not, b) the location is near the witness' home or c) the activity is ongoing and either the creatures or the witness may be disturbed by doing so.

Is every bit of information you have about Bigfoot published on this website?

Most of it is. There are details about our primary research areas which are withheld so as to not compromise those locations. But we believe in sharing what we find. We research Bigfoot for pleasure, NOT PROFIT.

Have YOU seen a Bigfoot?

Yes. You can read about my personal childhood experience here.
