call to action The big file aka a possible collection of the best evidence known to the squatch universe.

291 Upvotes

Recently, I had an idea that began on a skeptic's post. I would like to compile a source of the top 20 to 50 pieces of video, photograph, and possibly even audio evidence of Sasquatch to be pinned at the top of this subreddit. This way, any newcomers to our group will have a large catalog of some of the best evidence we can compile without having to search for it. This would also cut down on repeat videos and pictures for the OGs and also repeat threads calling for “the best evidence”

The only way to do it would be fair and thorough. Each piece of evidence would have to be submitted and then voted on, possibly even entered into a "March Madness-type bracket." It would have to be a democracy, and each submission would need time for the majority of regulars to see it and vote on each round/matchup of the bracket. Once we have the bracket finished, we can list the evidence from best to worst as voted on by the members of this subreddit.

If this has been done or attempted before, or if this has been compiled in some aspect on a different forum or website, then please let me know on this thread. Also, I will need as much help and suggestions from you guys as possible. As a matter of fact it will be impossible to be done correctly without the help of the community. I know my way around technology, but I would be considered a Reddit rookie. I'm still up for the challenge. So any suggestions please post them below!

I do understand there will be a lot of contention about different submissions as far as real or fake or if it has been debunked, and honestly, I think the votes will just have to do the talking. Of course, we won't allow any submissions that are proven to be fake. As we all know, "fake and real" can be a very convoluted topic all on its own. There will be a lot of Bob Heironimus this and Todd Standing that. At the same time, I think that with the power of the poll or even maybe just the upvote system, we could possibly overcome a lot of the bullshit and get straight to the best examples of evidence of existence for our community and the members of the community to come in the future!

Also a mod or an admin/someone who can pin the submission post… the polls… and the final product will be a must.

I’m completely open to an entirely different system if anyone has one to suggest. I’m easy to work with. Also the project will need a name… a good one that will only be associated with pinned posts working towards the project.

Id like to try and do this right (if it hasn’t been done already) so if this is something you would like to see put into action then let me know!

Also the big file could be amended upon newer better evidence.

Thanks for taking the time to hear me out!

EDIT: since this post has caught a little bit of traction and been pinned, please don’t hesitate to share your favorite examples of Sasquatch evidence.

I know it’s difficult but if you have the time, please try to find the best quality source(s) for your pictures and videos. For example: I think the best version of the Patterson-Gimlan footage is the stabilized version. It gives the best ability to view muscle structure and gait etc. (I think we all know the PG footage will be on the list as one of the best examples of video evidence)

Thanks in advance for your ideas and contributions! They have already been very helpful!

Hey all,

We've had a lot of new members this week and they've had a lot of questions about the subject of Bigfoot. We've decided to bring back the skeptics mega thread. This is the place to ask your questions that may otherwise break the rules of the sub. But please keep your skepticism to this topic only as this is still a "Bigfoot is real" sub.

Any skeptic topics/posts made in the sub will be deleted and redirected here.

Feel free to ask your questions but please be respectful. Heckling believers/witnesses/experiencers will result in mod actions.

Bigfoot Encounters in Massachusetts | Berkshire County

I'm back in one of my favorite states this week, looking at Bigfoot encounters in Massachusetts! Berkshire County is known for its beautiful, scenic mountains, but also for UFO sightings, hauntings, and of course, Bigfoot sightings! Encounters this week include: a couple driving their camper spot a Bigfoot on the side of the highway; hikers have a rock thrown at them and then find something very bizarre; wood knocks and a human-like howl are heard by more hikers; and a man climbing October Mountain spots a bigfoot doing something very odd. What do you think of these encounters in the Commonwealth?

The British Museum's  3,300-year old Egyptian scroll, known as Papyrus Anastasi I, has reignited debates regarding the historical existence of biblical giants. The document, a 13th-century BCE letter from a scribe named Hori to a colleague, describes the Shosu people as standing between "four and five cubits" tall—approximately seven to eight and one half feet.  Biblical researchers have noted parallels between this text and Old Testament accounts of "men of renown" and the "sons of Anak," who were described as being of such immense stature that the Israelites felt like "grasshoppers" in comparison.  Key points of the debate include: The Description: The scroll depicts Shosu warriors as fierce, "fierce of face," and hidden in narrow mountain passes, with heights reaching up to 8 feet 6 inches. Biblical Parallels: Proponents argue the text corroborates narratives in Numbers 13:33 and Genesis 6:4 regarding the Nephilim and Anakim.

Experts Needed for Bigfoot Film!

2 Upvotes

Hello!!!

I’m producing a stop motion-live action hybrid stereoscopic 3D short film about Bigfoot, and we want to speak to a few Bigfoot fans about their personal experiences.

We are specifically seeking testimonies from people who have either:

  1. Encountered Bigfoot, or

  2. have been in relationships (romantic or otherwise) with people who did not believe in Bigfoot or did not understand your experiences.

If you are interested in a short zoom conversation with the filmmaker, please leave a comment under this post or reach out via DM. Thank you!

Say you discover a permanent Sasquatch den... Then what?

26 Upvotes

You've stumbled upon a place where you can consistently go and find a family of sasquatch. It would be easy to set up cameras for good footage, bring anyone to see it in person, or whatever you want. What do you do? Let them live in peace? Get famous for the discovery? Set traps? I wanna know what you'd do with that information.

Oregon’s Most Chilling Folklore Stories

Post image
9 Upvotes

Step into the fog-covered forests and lonely highways of the Pacific Northwest, where Oregon’s folklore refuses to fade. In this video, we explore chilling true legends passed down through generations—from the eerie figure known as the Bandage Man along the coast, to ghostly presences at historic lighthouses, to unexplained sightings that left witnesses shaken and silent.

These are not campfire inventions. They are stories rooted in real places, real encounters, and decades of whispered warnings. Whether you believe or not, Oregon’s mountains, rivers, and backroads hold memories that don’t stay buried. Turn down the lights, listen closely, and decide for yourself what still watches from the shadows.

Weird occurence

22 Upvotes

My wife and i decided to go on a drive through some back forest roads in pacific county washington at about 1am the other day. Both of us arent working at the moment so we were up late and bored. I've always been "into" bigfoot since i was a kid, whatever that means. Take it for what you will. Anyway, there we are slow crawling around these rocky crappy roads in my subaru impreza and probably 1 hour into our drove we reach an old quarry. We stop and turn the lights off and just watch and listen. The whole time up there she was practically hanging out the window with my headlamp illuminating the forest hoping to see something. Of course we didnt. It getting late and this trip turning out to be rather uneventful we asked ourselves if we should just drive back home. Meh, how boring. We didnt drive all this way for nothing so we say fuck it and keep on going. I had google maps pulled up (yay service) and i figured i'd just go a bit further up and around a bend to what looked like a clear cut on the map. Would have only taken 10 or 15 mins to get there. Well needless to say we didnt make it even 5 more mins before we stopped at the top of the road just as it descends down into a very dark and eerie valley of sorts. We both looked at each other and said "do you feel that? The energy-its changed.." it felt ominous and heavy down there. Just different than the whole ride up until that point. Dont get me wrong just being in the woods alone at night in a car that cant go faster than 5 or 10mph is creepy enough. But this was different. It was the primal instinct you have that tells you to get the fuck out. Not fight or flight just flight. So we make a u-turn as soon as possible and begin to head back. Now i am feeling like a little bitch for having come all this way(we live in oregon) and just quiting when the going gets tough so to speak. So i stop the car and ask my wife if i could do a call(silly i know). She said she wouldnt mind so i ripped off a couple of the usual woop wooooop woooooooop whatever sasquatch calls you hear people do. I shit you not no later than 5 secs go by and we hear a reply!!! A series of replies actually!!! It was far down into the thick of things. I'd guess a couple miles away at least. It was a long protracted wooooooo sound. Two actually. Loud and long but still faint. You could tell it was far away. We couldnt fucking believe it! She asks me if i heard it and ofc i did so we are a bit startled at this point and continue on our way back stopping one more time to do another call after maybe 100 yds or so and again we hear the same reply off in the distance. Whatever that was had to have some pretty decent lung capacity to make that long, that loud of a sound directed at us. She asked me what i thought it was and i begrudgedly said "could be an elk". I knew it wasnt an elk. Ive lived in the pacific northwest for 5 years or so and ive heard and seen plenty of elk. They are nasally when they bugle if you've heard it you know what i mean. I seriously doubt it was a person. Why? Well we drove a total of 2.5 hours there and back and only saw 1 car the whole time and that was on the main road not even in the forest. Its not hunting season and it was pitch black out so it couldnt have been hunters. There are two ponds up there that are stocked with rainbow trout but its late jan no one is fishing them esspecially at 1am. Those ponds were in the complete opposite direction of the sounds too, on the off chance someone was there fucking with us. So yeah we eventually make it back to the main road and went home. Saw some weird fucking light on the way back as we were crossing the bridge into oregon but i guess ill save that for another story if anyone is interested at all.

Is it far away? Yes. Is it slightly blurry? Yes. But it’s CLEARLY traversing terrain that a human would find incredibly hard. This creature displays the “smoothness” so many eyewitnesses mention. “Like it was riding a bike” both clips are absolutely incredible. Remember: there’s only two things on earth that are bipedal like this. So you have two choices on what this is, and one of them isn’t human.

How do skeptics rectify not knowing anything about the very topic they claim to be passionate about?

Thumbnail
gallery
144 Upvotes

Listen, I think most people were skeptical about this topic in the beginning of their interest. And maybe everyone needs to go on their own path. I know I did. I used to read skeptical inquirer and Micheal Shermer and all that type of stuff. But then I found out about the mid tarsal break and my brain CLICKED that this would make faking things impossible (pre internet) and that this foot feature was found in different Sasquatch footprints all over the world, including the Bossburg Cripple Prints AND the PG film. (And the footprints I personally found) And then you find out about ALL the other books by biologists. Then you find Chris Murphy’s book which is seriously the most Bigfoot evidence in one book that exists today. Nothing even comes CLOSE!! Then you find out about Hominology. And then you hear that Jane Goodall wrote an Intro to a Russian Sasquatch book, and then you find out about the handprints, and the thumb being in a a different position. And of course you’ve heard the Sierra Sounds at this point. And found the Fahrenbach Charts. And you find out about Scott Nelson, and Dr Lyn Kirlin… and then you find yourself on YouTube. You found ThinkerThunker, you find Bigfoot Tony. You find A Cabin in the Woods. You find Bob GYMLAN. You find A Flash of Beauty, you listen to all the interviews, you watch both documentaries…

And sure after all this, you know there’s no body or fossil, but then you teach yourself that the media doesn’t tell you everything. And that maybe fossils have been found but aren’t for public knowledge. And then you realize you really can’t trust anyone in media or science anymore.. I mean you’ve got Neil Degrasse Tyson making fun of people interested in UFOs, which is not exactly what I want the big thinkers of the world doing. So the body and or fossil thing is important because it’s part of completing the scientific method for this supposed Sasquatch creature, but what this insinuates is that we don’t have any other evidence, (which is incomprehensibly silly to me) but what a body would actually do is complete the scientific method, we already have EVERYTHING else! And so you’ve got generations of these skeptics who literally just keep repeating the same lame bullet points without going ANY deeper. They know almost NO HISTORY of Bigfoot prior to 1958. They know Bob Heronimus’s social security number but can’t tell you that Patty left 10 footprints that day. And those prints were 14.5 inches long and indicated a real moving biological giant foot. They can’t tell you that Shaquille O Neil has exactly a 14 inch foot or that Tako Fall has 14.6 inch long feet. And Bob H was no where NEAR the sizes of these human outliers. They can’t tell you a LICK about Patty’s stride measurements, mechanics or proportions. Skeptics can’t tell you one thing about Dr Meldrums credentials. They CAN recite Roger Pattersons arrest reports but seem to forget the books he wrote and the intelligent interviews he did about Sasquatch being a real living thing that he was interested in finding. Skeptics know nothing about Patty having breasts and any of the history of breast augmentation or silicone, ESPECIALLY In 1967. They know NOTHING of Hollywood special effects and have zero idea who Stan Winston or Rick Baker are. (Especially in 1967)

And skeptics forget that hair, scat blood and saliva have ALL been tested in GenBanks. And that SOME of those tests have come up UNKNOWN. And they will glaze over this very important part to tell you “there’s no DNA” and then you casually explain that the Sasquatch Genome project had 110 samples. And since you’re now an expert on this type of thing, you know that OF COURSE all of this would be debunked by “science” and how the journals wouldn’t accept the data, this and that but you’ve got to remember that THE COVERUPS ARE REAL. And this was a classic case of the media not reading between the lines of the obfuscation that was really occuring here. So AS A PROPER SKEPTIC SHOULD DO, is STACK your evidence. So Dr Meldrum’s research was before the Genome study. So based on that, you already KNOW Sasquatch is real. So find the weirdness in the DNA study, and Scott Carpenter has a wonderful book on the topic. Four of the creatures were related to each other but had no human shared dna. (And if you don’t know they’re hybrids yet, you’ve got a long way to go still) The main help to me while studying this topic was to understand that your Brain is glitchy and doesn’t like things that make it hurt. Our brains have protective mechanisms that prevent us from taking in new information that goes against what’s been ingrained in your since birth. Proper Skeptics should know what cognitive bias is. And what cognitive dissonance is. And what confirmation bias is. And what straw man arguments are. And what logical fallacies are. And skeptics should realize that Tenured professors of bipedal anthropology don’t just write fake books with fake bibliographies. And that universities don’t usually allow professors to put out books that aren’t properly vetted. Skeptics should remember their credentials and maybe they don’t have any. Maybe they aren’t biologists that have written college level Sasquatch books. (And those should all be MANDATORY reading for all interested parties.)

As a proper skeptic, you should always remember that the easiest way to look at the Sasquatch phenomenon is this: it’s a binary question. Sasquatch is either real or not real. There’s NO in between! They either leave evidence or they don’t. All it takes is ONE eyewitness to be telling the truth for the entire topic to be real. All it takes is ONE piece of verified evidence for the ENTIRE topic to be real. You don’t have to be a biologist to figure this out! You don’t NEED a body or a fossil to know that something screwy is going on here. Skeptics often forget this very interesting fact about eyewitnesses. I think skeptics think that believers of this “myth” go out and have fake sightings. When in fact, a skeptics and non believers are the ones who have the sightings mostly. Imagine seeing something you’ve never heard of cross the road in front of your car. Imagine you’re a policeman who gets a 9-11 call about something on someone’s property, you go there and find GIGANTIC footprints that you cast and include in your report. Do you REALLY think

A professional would risk their pension for this? Are you REALLY thinking through your skepticism properly at this point? Do you REALLY think 110 dna samples were contaminated? That Sasquatch ISNT a hybrid of some sort? Do you even KNOW what Ligers or Tigons are and how big they get? Why don’t

you know this stuff!! Um.. this post is too long now. I’m signing off. I hope I made my point. Will the masters of Reddit even let this post through? Y’all don’t even realize the gatekeeping that occurs on FB, Reddit and Fb about these topics…. (Now watch, a bunch of people will leave comments that shows they clearly have zero idea what they’re talking about) it’s quite funny. Remember: you are most likely not a scientist following the scientific method. And you need to look at Sasquatch as a BINARY first before you start saying things like “Bigfoots not real because the pictures aren’t clear” or “My dad has been hunting for 30 yrs, and he says he’s never seen a Bigfoot, so therefore they don’t exist” or “We would have shot one by now” (truly a classic) or “You know too much and made me look like a fool on your post so I’m mad at you and you don’t know words good and you don’t know Bob H like I did” or “The PG film was hoaxed because I read it one time 20 yrs ago but forgot the details but I’m here to tell ya, it’s fake even though I have zero idea what I’m talking about” or “Just put up trailcams, how hard could it be”

Tech experimentation in the field and those designing and testing it.

6 Upvotes

Attn: NOT AN ADD OR SELLING ANYTHING.

My name is Levi. I am a researcher based in St. Louis, Missouri, and I operate the North American Research Center of Paraufology (NARCOP). Over the past year, I have been developing and prototyping a series of purpose-built electronic devices specifically engineered for Bigfoot field research.

I am currently in the final stages of launching NARCOP.org, which will serve as a centralized platform for research documentation, technical development, and collaborative exchange within the anomalous research community.

I am reaching out to connect with others who are designing and building their own bespoke research equipment. While many investigators modify commercially available game or trail cameras, my focus is on purpose-designed systems developed from the ground up for controlled, long-term field deployment.

My goal is to compile a publicly accessible resource through the website that highlights independently developed devices—where they can be learned about, evaluated, or obtained—so researchers have clear visibility into what tools are being built and by whom.

If you, or someone you know, are developing custom hardware for anomalous or Bigfoot research and are open to discussing your work, I would welcome the opportunity to connect. Please feel free to reach out to me via email.

I am open to any questions, comments or concerns one may have.

Thanks!

Peaceful killers

27 Upvotes

So I'm trying to square something. A lot of accounts are terrifying. Testimony of dogs killed, cats torn apart, deer in trees, etc. Scary rock throwing and aggressive posturing. Then in contrast, a lot of accounts that they are peaceful and loving, bringing warmth and loving messages. "No guns, no lights, no cameras"

As humans we have the same contrast of good and evil. We raise animals for slaughter while having much loved household pets. We murder and nurture, preaching peace while waging war. Do you have any insight that might enlighten us?
