Hi I am Jordan just saying i have big feet not Bigfoot himself. I always was a history and mythology buff so always was addicted to learning. As much as I would like to learn i must warn the duality of humans if ones are for it ones will rally against it and worse yet I saw on a roku show a bounty of $50k was offered for a corpse of Bigfoot. Let me remind ones if an animal can't be evaluated by it's scarcity in existence would be an endangered species and the cost of Penalties would be much more high and jail time especially when the creature did not attack humans. If you believe in Mr Foot you should have more of an open mind in reference to him in example in a movie The Quinchilla incident at the very end we see that it was Krampus. My other warning is the jar in that movie ones are like that so don't hate the hoax as much because less drive for bogus fame at least not earned.

I still check BFF occasionally to see if there are any recent topics of interest. However, a lot of the material and debates in BFF seem to go through repeat cycles. For field research topics of interest and in my region (CA, OR, and WA), I have moved on to Facebook and interact with non-anonymous field researchers in private Facebook groups. I find it more rewarding to deal with folks who I have actually met in the field, many who have more years of field experience and/or that have focused on particular aspects (like audio recording or thermal imaging or other technical aspect) and are willing to share their expertise.

^^ Yeah, I view cases where the witness is the victim as a hoax or an accidental hoaxer as insufficient evidence. It's not the witness's fault (assuming they're not part of the hoax) for reporting something they see. Take the Prince Edward Island video or some 20-inch tracks that occurred in Harrisburg, PA (I think, I'm not looking that up right now) which were an admitted hoax. If an innocent witness stumbled across the filming or the tracks and honestly thought that they had witnessed something bigfoot related, it's not their fault they were hoaxed. I think that research groups undervalue identification of hoaxes (or they do it behind the scenes and don't let on that they do it). When looking at reported encounters in the northeast, you can find patterns in the relationships between probable bona fide encounters. And the relationships between encounters that are likely hoaxed bear indicia of hoaxing, making their patterns distinct from the other patterns.

I would create a separate variable to code a report as either a likely hoax or not, so that I could see at what level hoaxes are happening most frequently. There are at least 2 possible forms of hoaxing when it comes to witness reports. One is the witness as the perpetrator of the hoax and the other is the witness as the victim of a hoaxer. For example, did the witness create the fake print, or is the witness playing into the hand of a hoaxer? I suspect this latter scenario is very difficult to confirm. I suppose there's also the "accidental hoaxer" -- that Bigfoot researcher banging on trees, making Bigfoot calls, and scaring the hell out of nearby campers who subsequently submit a report to the BFRO!

Tonight I will be speaking to Tom and Larry Baxter. Tom writes "I’m not sure if this would be interesting for you, and it’s a second-hand account. My dad actually had the encounter and he passed away at age 84 a couple of years ago. I grew up in the Albany/Corvallis Oregon area, and as a child, my dad would tell us his story of his encounter which occurred in the Silverton Oregon area circa 1955/56 timeframe. His story was a brief one, but very descriptive (mostly what others on your show have described it) and it did impact his life and thoughts about the experience over his lifetime, and it made my brother and I very curious as we grew up in the Willamette Valley area. He saw the creature from his car in the Central Howell area at the intersection of Silverton and Howell Prairie roads. He was with his girlfriend at the time and they saw the creature emerge from the grass field alongside the intersection road at night. Anyway, if you are interested in this, I can tell the brief story of how he described it, etc." We will also be speaking to Larry Baxter regarding his book, Abandoned: The History and Horror of Port Chatham, Alaska. Port Chatham, Alaska was once a busy fishing village. By 1950, every single resident had left the town, leaving it abandoned. Over the years, legends told that the residents fled because they were being terrorized by a Bigfoot-like creature the local natives called Nantiinaq. Stories of mutilated bodies, missing hunters and strange, otherworldly creatures have long been associated with Port Chatham. Retired police investigator, Larry Baxter, delves into the real-life mystery of Port Chatham and chronicles his research for the truth into one of Alaska's most infamous legends.

Emphasis added above. The primacy of Class B (non-sightings, as I understand it) reports may be due to every Tom, Dick, and Harriet reporting every freaking sound, falling branch, and dropping acorn to the BFRO. Thus, the input was deluged with sounds and smells, rather than sightings. It may also be that as Finding Bigfoot progressed over time, they did more harm than good. I.e., people didn't want to report a possible sighting to a group which (unfairly or not) was tarred as seeing a horse in a thermal and saying it might be Bigfoot. Yes, I know that fell on the producers trying to make a buck, but not everyone came to the Bigfoot Forums and learned about how the show's producers were fighting a war with the Bigfoot researchers. Regardless of the type of interaction between the Bigfoot and the human observer, the question is how credible are the encounters. Most of your Level 0 and Level 1 encounters are insufficient to conclude that a Bigfoot was encountered because the animal making the calls or tree knocks, or throwing stones, or stinking up the forest, or tromping through the forest was not seen, so the possibility exists that there was a bird calling (and the witness is unfamiliar with bird calls and songs), there was a really annoying woodpecker nearby, there were acorns falling and hitting stones, making it look like stones were thrown, or the witness was mishearing what they thought were bipedal footprints. All of that is in addition to witnesses with Bigfoot on the Brain, i.e., every sound in the forest is Bigfoot. If a witness actually saw a Bigfoot (regardless of whether Bigfoot saw the witness) and provides details consistent with the exterior factors of the sightings, then there is a reasonable probability that the witness saw a Bigfoot. As an example of inconsistent details, a witness who was in a fast-moving vehicle on a busy road claimed to see a "Bigfoot" for 5-10 seconds and roughly 100 yards away in a field where the crop created at least some lack of clarity. The witness proudly proclaimed that because she was "interested in Bigfoot" she went into observation mode - in essence, admitting a predisposition to see Bigfoot. Then she provided details that are inconsistent with seeing something 100 yards away (go to your local football field with a friend and stand at either end to see what you can see with a clear line of view and spending minutes, not seconds, of observation. You should include a "Level 0," for hoaxes and probable hoaxes. They are out there. I have 183 BFRO reports that I have independently evaluated based on what they put on their website. Of these, I've concluded that 4 are outright hoaxes 33 provide insufficient details to conclude that an encounter actually occurred 21 provide enough details to conclude that the witness may have seen a Bigfoot 4 are more likely than not to have been a Bigfoot encounter Yes, that means that I have to go back and analyze 121 more reports. For any faults they have, at least the BFRO puts in enough details to allow an independent review or analysis of a claimed encounter and for everyone to make their own assessment. Other groups fall far worse in my database. (One group has 6 hoaxes and only 3 encounters where a witness may have seen a Bigfoot out of 30 reports; the vast majority so far fall into the "cool story, bro" category.

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.

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.
