Looks pretty cool and seems like it would scrape reports up to the current date. The python coding is beyond my capabilities, sadly. Other datasets I've reviewed all include the BFRO data but not all the variables and not reports from the last couple years. The most comprehensive is the SSR dataset with the BFRO reports, John Green reports, and reports from various regional Bigfoot research groups. One question I had of the BFRO data was about the types of interactions witnesses were reporting. David Daegling in his book Bigfoot Exposed argued that most Bigfoot encounters are "mundane" -- the witness sees a Bigfoot, there's a brief period of mutual recognition, and then the Bigfoot just walks away. This certainly wasn't my impression. To get a sense of what witnesses are reporting, I pulled a random sample of BFRO reports of encounters that happened between 2010 and 2022 and then read and coded the witness descriptions (this is the "observed" variable in the BFRO dataset). I created the following coding scheme: Level-0: These are asynchronous encounters. That is, there’s evidence that a Bigfoot might have been in the witness’s current location, as shown by foot tracks, scat, stray hairs, tree breaks, etc. [this would map to the BFRO Class C] Level-1: This and the remaining levels are synchronous encounters. In Level-1 there is evidence of Bigfoot currently in the witness’s proximity, as demonstrated by loud calls, tree knocks, stone throws, strong odors, bi-pedal footsteps, etc. Bigfoot is believed to be nearby but there is no visual confirmation. [this would map to BFRO Class B] Level-2: This adds visual confirmation but the sighting is one-directional. There is no indication from the witness that the Bigfoot was aware of the witness’s presence. [this gets into BFRO Class A but depends on observability] Level-3: This introduces mutual recognition between the witness and the Bigfoot. The Bigfoot simply acknowledges the witness and then casually turns away and disappears into the forest. "Mundane". [this seemed to be what Daegling wrote about; the P-G encounter would fit here] Level-4: These are aggressive interactions with Bigfoot, as demonstrated by Bigfoot bearing teeth, chest pounding, yelling or roaring, charging, or similar behaviors targeted at the witness. Level-4 is often characterized by competition between the witness and Bigfoot, whether for home territory, hunting grounds, or specific prey animals. [I would put Mike Wooley's encounter and Wes Germer's encounter here, as examples] Turns out most encounter reports fall into Level 1 and Level 2... and most of these cases are susceptible to alternative explanations and readily dismissed by debunkers. I suspect few even consider filing a report for Level-0, though cases like Cripple Foot and the Skookum Cast fit here. Level-3 cases were infrequent (~10% of cases) and Level 4 non-existent. Here's how my sample of 102 cases breaks down: overall (top chart) and by BFRO's Class A and Class B.

Always respect local laws, regulations, and the environment. What happens when a seasoned Forest Service firefighter finds himself patrolling one of the most restricted, untouched forest zones in Oregon — and begins to feel he’s not alone? In this chilling and mysterious episode, we speak with Rick, a former seasonal fire prevention officer for the Zigzag Ranger District, who spent months deep in the Bull Run Watershed — a place off-limits to the public for over 100 years. Rick recalls the haunting silence, the oppressive feeling of being watched, and the unshakable knowledge that something was tracking him through the brush. From eerie encounters in Colorado’s Deadman Tower and Pingree Park to being shadowed near Lolo Pass and Large Mountain, Rick's story is a rare look inside the places Bigfoot might truly call home. This episode includes firsthand accounts from NF-10, Hatfield Wilderness, and Bull Run Reservoir #1 — including the terrifying days Rick worked alone, clearing fire access roads… while something watched from just beyond the trees.

Welcome!

My name is Shelley and I recently had an encounter on a BFRO expedition. I have always been interested in this subject, but this experience has motivated me to learn as much as I can about this subject. I appreciate being added to the Bigfoot Forum and I hope to learn from some of the experienced researchers here. Cheers!

Truth bomb!

Stumbled into this GitHub reference this morning. https://github.com/timothyrenner/bfro_sightings_data Finding it interesting but haven't run the code yet. And interested to know if this would scrape SSR database, though surely it would require refactoring.

Computer guy here. High scale, petabytes scale, and higher. Tens of thousands of servers and hundreds of thousands of "containers" scale. And of course loads of old and recent machine learning and AI experience. It's a tool. It's fed poorly, limited information from limited sources, sources that are biased towards certain answers and limited in many ways. I am curious as to what it would regurgitate if it were trained in all US government archives, like one had access to a trove of secret documents. For example, I use an SDK or software agent to deliver log files and metrics to time series databases, that SDK and agent have libraries written for it. When asked how to plumb up certain technologies with the SDK, some AIs will make up answers out of whole cloth, faking a reply. For me it's not a huge deal because the libraries are protected by many layers but for other tools a bad actor could write that fake library and use it for compromising systems. Unreliable. But teach it to only reply with proven libraries with digital signatures signed by some author and your answers improve. I suspect that if we ever let it in to truly hidden archives, the secrets it would out would far sooner start WW3 than expose a cover-up of cryptids, but that's the only way something like this would be revealed by AI. We would have to plumb the archives of a dozen agencies to get access to the mundane reports from the field and even then have to piece it together ourselves. Archives that won't be made public anytime soon. The current language models are trained on mundane stuff, unfortunately. But, someday, you'll stumble into some university archives only accessible via secret username and password, and pass that login information and URL to an LLM and feed and prompt it, here's a URL and the login ID is Joe, password is password123, digest all you can find and summarize the reports mentioning Bigfoot, Sasquatch and any other similar species... And only then will it start to get fun. The question is who lets one in first and who writes the first prompt to expose it.

What happens when a lifelong woodsman, trapper, and hunting guide from Idaho has his first face-to-face encounter with something the world says doesn’t exist — and it changes the way he sees the forest forever? In this chilling episode, we sit down with Dave, a seasoned outdoorsman who’s spent decades hunting, logging, and mining across the backcountry of Pennsylvania, New York, and Idaho. But it wasn’t until he moved near Palisades Reservoir in southeastern Idaho that he realized something else was sharing the woods. Dave shares gripping firsthand accounts of multiple Bigfoot encounters — including the moment he locked eyes with a 9-foot creature watching him from behind a pine tree, the horrifying roar that nearly knocked him off his feet in the dark, and the night something stomped past his tent while his llamas froze in silence. You’ll also hear about unnerving trackways, strange vocalizations, and a photograph that may show a Sasquatch lying in a cold Idaho spring. These aren’t blurry photos or distant tales — they’re raw, violent, and unforgettable moments from a man who’s lived most of his life outdoors. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to come face-to-face with something impossible… this is your episode.

Bigfoot Evidence, UFOs And More As We recap the News and The Recent Group MeetingView the full article

We can move the UFO discussion over here. It’s my fault.

Looks like we have had some fun with this subject. What subject? Well, I thought the subject was strictly bigfoot but try as I might (and I did try) we kept slipping into UFOs and so on. It's really time to move on but close with this last thought on the subject of UFOs: 1) I see any issue of the UFO thing as an issue of national security. As such, I have no problem with the government devoting its resources to keep it quiet. I would expect them to. I would WANT them to keep it under wraps If this is real. I don't believe they are because there is nothing there. I DO believe they would keep a Russian spy satellite crashes secret and use the idea of the public's fascination with UFOs as a cover as they cart it off. This includes new stealth and spy planes and so on and all the ramifications of the use of misinformation and so on. 2) I will 100% agree IF the Area 51 / Hollywood UFO thing is real, then many of the points made here by others are probably spot on. If we are being visited by Aliens at a Hollywood level, I have no doubt many of the points made by some of you make sense. I just don't happen to believe it. <---- That's all it is.

What happens when an 18-year-old woman steps into the forest to relieve herself — and locks eyes with a towering red-furred creature hiding behind a tree? In this terrifying and emotional episode, we sit down with Tamara Bond, a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Chippewa, as she recounts her unforgettable Bigfoot encounter deep in California’s Marble Mountains. What began as a routine day with the California Conservation Corps turned into a moment that would haunt her dreams for decades. Tamara describes the chilling moment when a red-haired Sasquatch peered around a tree at her — again and again — before she fled screaming “Monster!”. We’ll talk about what she saw in that face, why red Sasquatches are considered dangerous, and how that one moment eventually turned fear into fascination. You’ll also hear about recent activity near Shasta Lake, rocks thrown from cliffs, and the spiritual sensitivity Tamara has lived with her whole life — including her ability to see spirits of the dead. This is a raw, vulnerable, and gripping account you won’t forget. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?
