I just came across this BFRO report: https://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=79845 Short story shorter: 3 witnesses reported seeing a Bigfoot in Oklahoma walking off a powerline easement from more than 1,500 feet away. I'm not a field researcher but 1,500 feet away, across a river, windy conditions, late afternoon, and down a powerline cut area do not seem like good conditions for clear observation. Any researchers on here who are comfortable with BFRO referring to this as a "Triple A" sighting? If so, why? I'm not challenging what the witnesses reported seeing. I just think from an evidence perspective that a Class A designation is a bit ambitious.

Is Bigfoot height and speed exaggerated?
socialBigfoot replied to Scratchy's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
I explored the science behind height estimates a while back. Basically there are 3 factors that affect accuracy : 1) The actual height of the target (in this case, a Bigfoot). 2) The height of the witness. This is referred to as the own-anchor effect, where the witness may use their own height as an anchor or benchmark from which to form a judgement on the target’s height. 3) The witness’s knowledge of, or expectations about, the average height of the target’s population. Much of this science comes from research into eye witness testimony, so it's questionable whether we can apply it to Bigfoot reports. The consensus among eye witness researchers seems to be that witnesses typically under-estimate the target's height. I think for Bigfoot reports, #3 above is most critical. The statement "it was 7-8 ft." is so common in reports it's like one of the given letters from Wheel of Future before the contestant even picks their own letters. @Doug touches on what could be a fourth factor specific to Bigfoot height estimates -- the witness's knowledge of and experience with other large animals in the forest. Here's my post on Substack for those interested in a deeper review of the science. -
I'm kinda guessing that the creature whose tracks were at the river mud flat may have belonged to the same one peeking in my car windows. The foot and hand prints seem to be of similar sizes. I just can't figure out how it got a print on the top of my windshield without apparently leaving any other marks on the vehicle. It was not parked under big enough trees to allow it to dangle, from above. I don't understand. Another mystery!

Maine 1896 - The First Reports of the Wild Man Attack on a Plucky Girl
Trogluddite posted a topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
On July 20, 1896, the the Sun-Journal of Lewiston (ME) published a lengthy story in its evening edition about Maud Knowlton's encounter with the wild man (the plucky girl story first published here in August of 2025). This story is based only on second-hand accounts, but includes additional information. -
We should go camping this summer! 👍

Looks really capable. Are those running boards, or rock sliders under the door sills? My H3 came with what looked like sliders, but were really only cosmetic, as I managed to crush one on the first trail I drove the day after I bought it.

Getting my overlanding/exploring rig more capable. While not nearly as awesome or capable as Norseman's Ram, it can go on some roads that stock pickups might not be able to. Just a leveling kit with 37s, a 13.5k winch, and beefy bumper.

In this special members preview episode, we explore powerful firsthand accounts from three individuals whose experiences stretch across Michigan, Kentucky, and South Carolina. Each witness shares deeply personal encounters that have stayed with them for decades, offering vivid glimpses into moments that changed how they view the woods forever. From the forests near Atlanta in Montmorency County, Michigan, one man reflects on a 1986 mushroom hunting trip that turned into an unforgettable encounter near a quiet creek. What began as a peaceful afternoon quickly became something far more profound, leaving him and his family questioning what they had witnessed. In Kentucky, a childhood turkey hunt along the Nolin River near Bear Creek became a moment that still stands crystal clear in memory. A presence only feet away. A sound that has never been forgotten. A split second that continues to echo years later. And in South Carolina, a lifelong outdoorsman shares experiences that began on his family’s sprawling rural property in the 1970s and followed him into adulthood. A later hunting trip near Interstate 26 in Newberry County would deliver a sighting through a rifle scope that permanently altered his relationship with the outdoors.These accounts are thoughtful, detailed, and grounded in decades of lived experience. This preview only scratches the surface of what’s shared in the full episode.

Is Bigfoot height and speed exaggerated?
Doug replied to Scratchy's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
Moose stand 7 to 8 feet tall at the shoulder, are 9 to 10 feet long, weigh 1,200 to 1,800 pounds and where there is a high concentration of them, there are still large amounts of ripe growth available to them and other animals. They run up to 35 miles per hour. Brown bears are 4 to 5 feet tall at the shoulder and 8 to 10 feet tall when standing on their hind legs. They weigh up to 1,500 pounds and can run 35 miles per hour and can kill many moose, caribou, elk and deer in a year. So, I don't find those descriptions of sasquatches ridiculously far fetched, just somewhat exaggerated due to witness perception. -
Is Bigfoot height and speed exaggerated?
OntarioSquatch replied to Scratchy's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
Yup. Some research suggests that Sasquatch are faster and heavier than they look, which is insane because it’s hard to imagine both at the same time. One interest thing I’ve noticed though over the years is that genuine eyewitnesses are often more shocked by how thick the subject is rather than how tall. -
I Had to See that Sasquatch Again! - Bigfoot Eyewitness Episode 527
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio
Tonight’s guest, D’von Gilpon, was born and raised in France. In the 90’s, when he was around 12 or 13 years old, he moved to Oklahoma, with his mother, after she remarried. Fast forward to the year 2000. One day in the year 2000, D’von had gone on a camping trip with a group of his friends and their families at Lake Arcadia, which is northeast of Oklahoma City. The night they got there, D’von decided to explore the area around the lake, to see what was out there. He was hoping to find something interesting on that walk. It’s a gross understatement to say that he did. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to him chronicle what happened on that walk and what happened when he had his next experience.
