  • The Sasquatch: An Unwelcome and Premature Zoological Discovery?
    by John A. Bindernagel
    Over 3000 North American reports of a large hair-covered bipedal animal resembling an upright gorilla have been recorded and reviewed. More importantly, over 100 different tracks attributed to such an animal have been cast and archived. At the same time, wildlife biologists and other zoologists continue to ignore this evidence and to reject papers on the subject submitted for presentation at professional conferences.
  • Historical Overview and Basic Facts Involved in the Sasquatch or Bigfoot Phenomenon
    by John Green
    I describe six decades of increasing interest in and knowledge about Bigfoot or sasquatch, and efforts to gain scientific attention. Exploiting my massive data-base, I offer some conclusions about these creatures and comments on some of the objections that have been raised.
    From personal knowledge of Roger Patterson, I contradicts the notion that the Patterson film was faked. And from direct first-hand knowledge and by citing dates, I expose the fallacy of recent media accounts claiming that a certain Ray Wallace started the whole thing by faking some footprints.
  • Living Ape-Men (in 12 parts)
    by Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson
    Is it really possible that there could be an unknown species of hominid on this planet? Many will find this hard to believe for two reasons. They suppose that every inch of the earth has been quite thoroughly explored. And they also suppose that scientists possess a complete inventory of the earth's living animal species. Both suppositions are incorrect.
  • Everest 1951: the footprints attributed to the Yeti — myth and reality
    by Michael Ward
    For centuries, mountains have given rise to legends about supernatural beings such as the Yeti of the Himalayas. The legend of the Yeti was enhanced by the finding of footprints in the Menlung Basin during the 1951 Everest reconnaissance expedition. This report provides a possible explanation of the Menlung footprints based on developmental abnormalities, physiology, and pathology of the foot.
  • Acoustic Analysis of Unusual Large Animal Vocalizations (external site)
    Preliminary acoustic analysis of unusual large animal vocalizations recorded on April 20, 2003 in Snohomish County, Washington.
  • Seeing is believing, or is it? How scientific is 'Wildman' research?
    by Helmut Loofs-Wissowa
    A surprising reappraisal has been taking place in human biology during the past few years.
  • Bigfoot — a contemporary belief legend
    by Joyce Bynum
    Almost every American has heard of the large, hairy "ape man," sometimes called Bigfoot or Sasquatch, who appears mysteriously from time to time; but few realize that sightings of this creature are not limited to the Pacific Northwest but occur throughout the United States and Canada.
  • Further Notes on the Role of Folklore in Hominology
    by John Colarusso
    Two tales, one from the Ubykh of the Caucasus, the other from the Bella Coola of British Columbia, are briefly examined for both fact-like and fantastical elements regarding hominoid creatures
  • The Status of Wildman Research in China
    by Zhou Guoxing
    Chinese historical documents contain many references to Wildman, a supposed large unknown primate reported today in numerous provinces.
  • The Yahoo, the Yowie, and Reports of Australian Hairy Bipeds
    by Colin P. Groves
    Questions surrounding the supposed Yahoo, Yowie, or supposed wild man of south-eastern Australia are examined in light of what is known of the Australian mammal fauna, the nomenclature of the wild man, the role of the wild man in both Aboriginal and Anglo cosmologies, and the claimed existence of the wild man himself. A giant marsupial, such as a wombat, may have survived the megafaunal extinctions, giving rise to the wild man reports.
  • Diagnosis of the 'Wild Man' according to Buddhist Literary Sources from Tibet, Mongolia and China
    by Emanuel Vlcek
    By these three literary sources on the existence of the wild man, Czechoslovak science contributes to the solution of this very interesting dilemma of the existence and diagnosis of the snow man. Is he a myth or a living creature?
  • Anatomy and Dermatoglyphics of Three Sasquatch Footprints
    by Grover S. Krantz
    Casts of three large human-like footprints were made by U.S. Forest Service personnel in June, 1982, in southeastern Washington State. The fine-grained soil preserved many impressions of dermal ridges and sweat pores.
  • Abominable Snowman
    by William L. Straus, Jr. (with responses)
    During recent years, stories have been coming out of India and Tibet about a giant mammal that lives above the snow line. According to some accounts, this creature is more than 7 feet in height, walks erect, has an apelike head and face, and is covered with heavy blond or reddish hair.
  • Investigating Sasquatch Evidence in the Pacific Northwest
    by James A. Hewkin
    Unpublicized Sasquatch investigations were conducted in remote areas of the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, and other areas of the Pacific Northwest, over a 10-year period beginning in 1973. Various forms of evidence were uncovered, including eyewitness testimony, footprint tracks, split stumps and logs, and rock piles. Some of the evidence indicates the presence of a still-unrecognized species of large, bipedal primate in North America.
  • Statistical Analysis of Sasquatch Reports
    by Barbara Wasson
    A statistical analysis of 619 Sasquatch reports.
  • Sasquatch Handprints
    by Grover S. Krantz
    Two plaster casts have been obtained of handprints of the reputed Sasquatch. The prints measure more than half again greater than normal human hands and are relatively very broad. The thumb is non-opposable and there is correspondingly no elevation of the thenar eminence. Characteristics of these handprints, as with associated footprints, suggest their makers were gigantic hominids.
  • Results of a Questionnaire on the Sasquatch
    by Ron Westrum
    The returns of 26 respondents to a questionnaire on the sasquatch are presented.
  • Some Pacific Northwest Native Language Names for the Sasquatch Phenomenon
    by Bruce Rigsby
    This paper provides two instances of cross-genetic lexical borrowing of the name for the Sasquatch phenomenon among Pacific Northwest native languages.
  • Anatomy of the Sasquatch Foot
    by Grover S. Krantz
    Many plaster casts and photographs of footprints have been examined in detail which were reportedly made by a species of bipedal primate, the sasquatch or bigfoot. They prove not to be simply enlarged human footprints but show several peculiarities. These include flat arches, a double ball, and enlarged heels. Examination of leverage mechanics of the human foot indicates that with excessive body weight certain modifications would be advantageous. The expected modifications are the same as those seen in the reputed sasquatch footprints.
  • Cripplefoot Hobbled
    by David J. Daegling
    Evidence for Bigfoot gains credibility when the possibility of human fabrication can be ruled out. The trackways of a crippled Sasquatch are said to provide such a compelling case, but examination of this claim suggests that hoaxing the footprints may have been a fairly manageable endeavor.
  • Teaching Anthropology and Critical Thinking with the Question "Is There Something Big Afoot?"
    by Turhon A. Murad
    A course exploring the notion of whether Bigfoot, the sasquatch, the yeti, or any other such bipedal, hairy manlike monster might really exist can be an excellent opportunity to teach anthropology and critical thinking to students who are in desperate need of such instruction.
  • The Sasquatch Foot Casts
    by John Berry and Stephen Haylock
    Believing in the paleontological existence of Gigantopithecus (and actually possessing an ash tray said to be made from a cast of its jaw) we decided to deal with the phenomena of the Sasquatch in two parts; first of all to briefly review current literature on the subject, secondly to give the result of our extensive examination of the three recent Sasquatch casts, loaned to us for a year by Professor Krantz.
  • Old Literary Evidence for the Existence of the 'Snow Man' in Tibet and Mongolia
    by Emanuel Vlcek
  • On Neanderthal vs. Paranthropus
    by Dmitri Bayanov and Igor Bourtsev
    We warmly welcome Strasenburgh's response (CA 16:486-87) to Porshnev's article and our comments. It is encouraging and refreshing to deal with a critic who does not "quietly ignore" the subject.
  • The Troglodytidae and the Hominidae in the Taxonomy and Evolution of Higher Primates
    by B.F. Poshnev (with comments by several anthropologists and a reply by Dmitri Bayanov and Igor Bourtsev)
    The present crisis in current ideas on the evolution of higher primates calls for revision of certain postulates and rehabilitation of the Haeckel and Vogt hypothesis of a "missing link" between apes and man.
  • A Species Named From Footprints
    by Grover S. Krantz
    A reconstruction is presented of the living appearance of the fossil species Gigantopithecus blacki; this is then compared with evidence for a reported wild animal in North America. These two forms are provisionally equated, thus giving a formal name to the living animal known as sasquatch, or bigfoot. Alternative taxonomic designations are also suggested in view of the possibility that future discoveries might show this equation to be incorrect.
  • Attitudes of Physical Anthropologists toward Reports of Bigfoot and Nessie
    by J. Richard Greenwell and James E. King
    In the summer of 1978 we surveyed 300 America and Canadian scientists on their attitudes toward the existence of the supposed Bigfoot (sasquatch) of Northwest America and the unknown animals supposedly inhabiting Loch Ness, Scotland (hereinafter called Nessie).
  • Report on the Film of a Supposed Sasquatch
    by D.W. Grieve
    The following report is based on a copy of a 16mm. film taken by Roger Patterson on October 20th, 1967, at Bluff Creek, Northern California, which was made available to me by René Dahinden in December 1971. In addition to Patterson's footage, the film includes a sequence showing a human being (height 6 ft. 5½ in.) walking over the same terrain.
  • What Is The Sasquatch?
    by John Green
    Based on a study of more than 1,000 reported sightings of manlike monsters, this article presents a statistical survey of the characteristics of the beings seen and of conditions under which they were sighted. The author notes similarities between these sightings and those contained in Russian studies. He concludes by making inferences from the sightings concerning the nature and distribution of the creature.
  • The Credibility of Sasquatch Witnesses
    by Barbara Wasson
    The approach to the Sasquatch question has traditionally been either from the theoretical, anthropological aspect, or from the unorganized trial and error techniques of the layman hunters and investigators. The first are conceptualized as having only sat in their ivory towers, the second as having rushed out into the wilderness in a frenzy chasing the tailless hairy monster. Some slight emphasis has been put on the gathering and naieve statistical analysis of the data. Some of the investigators have taped interviews of witnesses to the alleged sasquatch sightings, tracks, and damage attributed to our great hairy friend.
  • Carved Stone Heads of the Columbia River and Sasquatch
    by Roderick Sprague
    Several prehistoric carvings collected in the lower Columbia River valley share non-human but anthropoid features. A relationship between these stone heads and Sasquatch phenomena is suggested.
  • Bigfoot's Screen Test
    by David J. Daegling and Daniel O. Schmitt
    Recent analyses propose that the 1967 film of "Bigfoot" documents a large, feral nonhuman primate unknown to modern science. Known sources of measurement error and existing data on human locomotion suggest a more cautious conclusion.
  • Tracking Bigfoot on the Internet
    by David Matthew Zuefle
    Two years of "hunting" Bigfoot in cyberspace tells you little about the never-confirmed giant bipedal creature but a lot about those who hunt for it. Some are sincere searchers; for others, the idea is a complex and flexible belief system that serves multiple needs and roles.
  • Dermal Ridge Examination Report
    by J. H. Chilcutt
    Latent Fingerprint Examiner's report on a footprint cast taken in Pike County, Georgia in 1997.
  • Sasquatch: Size, Scaling, and Statistics
    by W .H. Fahrenbach (in three parts)
    Measurements and estimates on Sasquatch dimensions, collected over the last 40 years in the Western U.S and Canada, were subjected to statistical analysis and extrapolation by scaling laws appropriate to primates and mammals. The study has yielded average population values for foot length and width, scaling factors of foot length to height, values for weight, plantar pressure, walking and running gait, speed, and a tentative growth curve as a function of time for the female of the species. The results suggest a substantial population with traits different from those of other higher primates and man.
  • Toward a Resolution of the Bigfoot Phenomenon
    The 1998 NASI report by Jeff Glickman (in three parts)
    The Bigfoot phenomenon may be the result of a combination of sociological origin, physical manifestation through willful manufacture, and the by-product of cataloged and uncataloged animals. Observational data related to the Bigfoot phenomenon is presented and analyzed to identify its origin. Human and animal archetypes are used to demonstrate the inclusion or exclusion of these archetypes within the observations. An argument of continuity, the expectation that there may be a continuous record of the existence of an organism, is employed to include or exclude the possibility that the observations originate from an uncataloged animal. The plausibility of an uncataloged animal is examined through ecological analogy.
  • Analysis of Feces and Hair Suspected To Be Of Sasquatch Origin
    by Vaughn M. Bryant, Jr. and Burleigh Trevor-Deutsch
    The authors have examined five specimens of preserved feces and three specimens of animal hair suspected to be of Sasquatch or Bigfoot origin. They find that two of the fecal and two of the hair specimens are definitely attributable to known animals, but the remaining samples are not. Recognizing the limited sample studied, they call for further such analyses to ascertain the origin of the unidentified specimens.
  • Estimates of Pitch and Vocal Tract Length from Recorded Vocalizations of Purported Bigfoot
    by R. Lynn Kirlin and Lasse Hertel
    Having analyzed a tape recording of purported Bigfoot speech using accepted techniques of signal processing, the authors conclude that the means and ranges of the recorded pitch and estimated vocal tract length of the speakers indicate that the sounds were made by a creature with "vocal features corresponding to a larger physical size than man." They also conclude that the tape shows none of the expected signs of being prerecorded or rerecorded at altered speed and hence diminish the probability of a hoax.
  • Sasquatch and Scientists: Reporting Scientific Anomalies
    by Ron Westrum
    This article explores the dilemma which confronts the observer of an apparent scientific anomaly: should he report the phenomenon and face possible ridicule or should he refrain from reporting and so question the reliability of his own mind or senses? The author examines how the response of the public and the media to observations or obvious hoaxes which resemble the observer's experience may either inhibit or encourage reporting.
  • Evaluation of Alleged Sasquatch Footprints and their Inferred Functional Morphology (external site)
    by D. Jeffrey Meldrum
    Throughout the twentieth century, thousands of eyewitness reports of giant bipedal apes, commonly referred to as Bigfoot or Sasquatch, have emanated from the montane forests of the western United States and Canada. Hundreds of large humanoid footprints have been discovered and many have been photographed or preserved as plaster casts. As incredulous as these reports may seem, the simple fact of the matter remains — the footprints exist and warrant evaluation. A sample of over 100 footprint casts and over 50 photographs of footprints and casts was assembled and examined, as well as several examples of fresh footprints.
  • Population Clines of the North American Sasquatch As Evidenced By Track Lengths and Estimated Statures
    by George W. Gill
    This article notes that there is a striking degree of internal consistency amongst reports of purported Sasquatch sightings and footprints. The author applies zoological rules of distribution to the reported stature, track length, and fur colour of the creatures and finds that the conformity of sighted characteristics to these rules is high. He concludes that such evidence argues against considering all such sightings as hoaxes and that it supports the possibility that these beings are natural phenomena.
  • Preliminary Description of the External Morphology of What Appeared to be the Fresh Corpse of a Hitherto Unknown Form of Living Hominid
    by Ivan T. Sanderson
    This paper describes the 'discovery' of the corpse of what appears to be a hominoid type of anthropoid, fully clothed in hair, preserved in ice in a glass-covered coffin that is kept at 5-degrees F.
  • Film Resolution
    by W. H. Fahrenbach
    In view of the renewed vigor, not to mention imagination, that the Patterson movie frames are being examined, I will repost this discussion on resolution (with verifying recalculation and minimal changes) that went out about a year ago. Usually such examination is done on prints that are magnified to or well beyond the limit of profitable enlargement with the result that the optical "noise" of the emulsion, usually called the grain, assumes a life of its own and invites spurious and fanciful interpretations. In order to give would-be analysts a cautionary yardstick, I provide the following details and calculations.
