Bobbie Short's (RIP) Bigfoot Encounters included a newspaper article that described seven times people may have seen a Bigfoot in Maine; that newspaper article mentions the Chenoo in passing. There are also scattered references to the Chenoo in the Forums. Here is a 1950s story, sanitized for children, published in The Edmonton (Alberta) Bulletin on Apr 22, 1950. Older stories about the Chenoo, published in The New York (NY) Sun in 1884 and the Lewiston (ME) Sun-Journal in 1890 reflect a darker side of the human/Chenoo spirit.

Texas Woman Finds Headless Horses in Bigfoot Territory!
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Society Podcast
What do a pair of headless horses in Texas, a roadside Sasquatch sighting in Washington, and a screaming entity in Georgia all have in common? They're just a few of the chilling stories shared in this jam-packed episode of Bigfoot Society. We begin with Lisa, a woman who lived near Lake Whitney, Texas, in the 1980s — where late-night footsteps along the Brazos River led to a gruesome discovery in the woods. Her tale of terror unfolds into a lifetime of strange experiences, including a harrowing encounter in a coastal Oregon forest, and ancestral legends passed down from her Osage uncle about a red-eyed beast taller than a bridge. But that’s just the beginning. You’ll also hear from a Kentucky witness who stumbled upon massive footprints and bloodcurdling screams near the infamous Hotel California by Land Between the Lakes — an area with ties to alleged Dogman attacks. We visit Washington’s mile marker 114, where a mother and daughter see not one, but multiple Sasquatch figures crossing the road. The daughter’s reaction? “I saw its soul.” In Wisconsin, a woman recalls a hairy humanoid dressed in flannel and jeans — and a separate sighting involving deer chasing something they weren’t supposed to see. And in Georgia, a family’s Bigfoot curiosity turns terrifying when whoops from their porch summon something massive, bipedal, and enraged from the woods. From duck hunts in Tennessee interrupted by screams, to firsthand visits to the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, Oregon, this episode travels coast to coast collecting accounts that defy explanation. Whether it’s invisible movements, overpowering smells, or unplaceable sounds — these witnesses all experienced something that left them changed. So buckle up. Episode 894 isn’t just one story. It’s a haunting mosaic of voices — and a reminder that when it comes to Sasquatch, sometimes the truth is stranger than fear. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

Why is the federal government mum on Bigfoot.
norseman replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
All species within the genus Homo are extinct except Homo Sapiens according to science. So while Homo Sapiens are doing great the genus is doing terrible. How Sasquatch fits into all this will not be settled if it remains a myth. -

MIB replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
Norseman is correct. We do not know what laws apply until (or unless? :)) we have one, have DNA to test and retest. Like many here I've pondered this quite a bit. I don't think they are descended from new world monkeys or anything else that originated here. There's simply no fossil record. I think we are left with two families / themes of possibilities. First, they are a very close cousin to us, a recent split, with rapid evolution such that there are no older fossils because they didn't exist yet and the DNA is so close to ours as to appear merely contamination rather than distinct. Second, they are from a very old, very remote split and have never existed in large numbers, not for possibly hundreds of thousands of years, and they exist only in temperate forests with highly acidic soils that destroy bones / remains rather than producing fossils. I lean toward the first of those though I can't disprove the second. My best guess is, since we know there were at least 4 periods with land bridges from east Asia in the Pleistocene, that they likely crossed in one of the earlier 3, in small numbers, and somehow survived despite extreme environmental pressure. We know that small population and extreme forces of natural selection can push evolution much more quickly than it happens in a larger population. It seems the simplest solution working within the things we've already studied scientifically. I think having irrefutable DNA (which means a body .. I think) would allow us to answer a lot of questions. -

Huntster replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
The ESA acronym stands for the Endangered Species Act. It it exists, and if Science acknowledges that existence, it will be designated as a species. Homo sapiens are in no danger of extinction. There are over 8 billion of us. Granted, numerous races or ethnicities have gone extinct or are in danger of doing so, but not the species. The one way we can avoid the difficulties of recognizing their species and ESA designation is keeping them a myth. -
Why is the federal government mum on Bigfoot.
norseman replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
We have no legal precedent as to what laws would apply to a unknown species that is “mostly human”. We don't even know what its relationship is to humans. We assume it’s related to us because it’s bipedal. And we only know about bipedalism arising once in primates and we humans are the last of our genus of bipedalism. But maybe Orangs or Gibbons spawned something bipedal that is on a parallel bipedalism trajectory? We just wont until we have cracked the genome. - Yesterday

Bigfoot Does Come Out During the Day - Bigfoot Eyewitness Episode 498
BFFbot posted a topic in Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio
Tonight’s guest, Zach, lives in Roanoke, Virginia and he’s been living there for most of his life. On tonight’s show, Zach is going to be talking about a Sasquatch sighting he had in his backyard in June of 2021, while he was doing yardwork. Before Zach had that experience, he was an open-minded skeptic, as he describes it. Back then, he thought that if Sasquatch were real, they didn’t come out during the daytime. Zach was about to find out how wrong he was about that. After having his sighting and coming to the realization Sasquatch actually are extant, he was terrified and afraid to go into his backyard alone. We hope you’ll tune into tonight’s show, so you can find out the particulars regarding his experience. If you’d like to check out Zach’s wife’s media and her YouTube channel, which we hope you will, please visit… https://tiffanysdoran.com If you’ve had a Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know. I’d love to hear from you.

Good morning Georgerm......thanks for the reply! I had an experience at my grandpa's place near Dallas in 1959 when I was 6, extremely close encounter and it could have grabbed me if it wanted, but I did get a nice smile from him, so my journey began then. My main hiking areas the last 25 years are very close to my small town, which has almost doubled in the last 5 years to 8,800, we are on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, and I have been researching what I term 'Urbanfoot's' that come into town nightly for food source, there are Cougar's and other predictors too that hunt in town, as the numerous Whitetail Deer are everywhere and quite tame, easy pickens. There are only a few ways the Hairyman can get into town undetected, and they follow the main creeks in deep ravines. Over the years I have bushwhacked my own trails and the Hairyman seems to like my work and uses them, lol. I never put any game cameras or other electronic devices out there, they are well aware of our tech so I never disrespect them with such things and guess they sort of trust me. The Urbanfoots are quite stealthy, no noise, howling or aggression in the city at night. I've been all over the country and off-shore in my research over the years, and is extremely hard to find signs going out to wild places, but the Urbanfoot's are quite predictable in their travels in and out of town, so I can really zero in on their movements. Finding tracks or sign in wild places is hard, but out here the exception is NOT finding any, every time I head out there, something cool awaits me:) There's an area with caves, pretty sure they hang there but not me, I never go to these places. WOW, great artwork! Here are some pics of the area.

I find it interesting to scroll to the bottom of the published report to see who did the investigation. A surprising (to me) number of the recent reports were done by Matt M. himself rather than his investigators. That probably says something though I'm not sure what it is.

California 1970 - Daughter of Family Camping at Bluff Creek Befriends Bigfoot (Part 1)
Redbone replied to Trogluddite's topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
There is a 1970 incident in Benton Wisconsin with an article from Dubuque. -
I previously posted an opinion piece which mentioned in passing the Fremont Yeti, with Fremont being a town in Wisconsin, not California. Unfortunately, newspaper articles about the original encounter appear scarce (even though Ivan Sanderson came to investigate) and the only published articles, such as this one published in The Reedsburg (WI) Times-Press on Feb 20, 1969, have a decidedly incredulous take on the topic. Read the first column of this clipping, then go to Part 2. When you're done here, read the second column in Part 1. And finally, here's Part 3.

I've always found that the number of reports coming from an area is more contingent on the number of investigators than the actual number of reports. In other words, if no one is there to investigate, sightings go unreported. If an investigator is found for that area, a bunch of reports surface. I wish there was something like I-Naturalist where people could report without going through a middleman. I fully realize the flaws, it's just a pie in the sky dream...

The ESA does not apply to human. Or even mostly human -
I'm sure this is very hard on his family and I wish them peace above all else. It's a sad loss to the community at large as well with him being one of the few credentialed individuals who took this seriously.

What happens when a retired teacher and musician takes his son deep into the forests between Strawberry and Twain Harte — and ends up staring into the eyes of something unexplainable? In this gripping episode, we sit down with Dave Osborne — a seasoned outdoorsman and Bigfoot researcher whose encounters span decades and states. Dave recounts an unforgettable face-to-face experience in the Stanislaus National Forest, where glowing almond-shaped eyes blinked at him from the darkness, followed by guttural breath sounds and unexplained vanishing. You’ll hear about mysterious whistles, tree breaks, massive footprints, and unnerving electronic disturbances at Bolan Lake — a fog-covered spot that left Dave mentally drained and physically shaken. From glowing orbs in Oregon’s Owl Moon Wilderness to peanut butter and jelly gifts disappearing under a hovering light in Del Norte County, this is a journey across the supernatural frontier of Bigfoot activity. Don’t miss this wild ride — and the warning Dave gives for anyone brave enough to try and meet the forest's most elusive guardian.
