FAQ's

What is Bigfoot or Sasquatch?

Bigfoot or Sasquatch, is not a single "monster" or beast but rather believed to be a species of animal, related closely to man or ape.

This site's founder is under the belief that it is more closely related to the ape rather than humans due to it's variouis noted behaviors by witnesses.





Why hasn't a body been found?

Well the age old question is very simple. The ecosystem has it's own garbage disposal system. Consider the rarity of finding the remains of a bear card
Rodents, varmits and insects carry away many of the remains as well as decomposition.  Other than a mandible and teeth, the Gigantopithicus, a prehistoric gorilla like animal, has no other fossil record but is accepted by science.

Combined with the fact that the population of these animals is not a very large one, the odds of stumbling across a body or remenant would be great.

Are they aggressive or dangerous?

Any animal can be aggressive or dangerous if cornered or may have young near by. To date there have been no bonafide claims indicating a fatal encounter with these creatures, whom generally "get out of Dodge" when they encounter the human presence.  They have a particular distaste for aggressive canines.

There have however, been many encounters where they have a particular interest in human activities, particularly around females and children. Again there biggest scare tactic just seems to be the people's reaction to seeing them.




Are they real?

The founder of this site believes so, not only because he has had three separate encounters and several near misses, but because of the history of sightings dating back to the first European settlers, Native American legends, and this being a world wide phenomena, it lends credence that a large, bipedal, hairy creature walks the forest of the planet in certain regions of the world.

How did Bigfoot get it's name?

Bigfoot was a term coined by the press in 1958 after  machine operator Jerry Crew, casted  tracks left behind purportedly by one of these creatures. Because of the large footprint, the creature was nicknamed "Bigfoot".  The term Sasquatch comes from another press outlet, (JW Burns ) which coined the term "Sasquatch" in a derivative of the Salish Indian name for the beast; Sasquac.
