Interest in Bigfoot... Demographics? How much is the topic of Bigfoot of interest in various generations? Does this explain any dip in BFF activity? Most people around my age group (59 years old) got their Bigfoot interest by movies like Boggy Creek or especially Peter Graves The Mysterious Monsters show. It was in the Peter Graves show where most saw the PGF for the first time. Once you left the theaters, you were done seeing the PGF. The only time you saw the PGF again would be a book or two you could buy or rent at the library. Even then, the only thing you got in such as book was a still shot of Patty on the famous look back. In the 1980s those of us who rented VCR tapes (and for a while VCR's themselves) could for the first time rent a video about Bigfoot. For the first time we could not only watch the PGF multiple times but could also freeze frame, slow it down, and run it back and forth. About the time of serious home computers of the 2000's some researchers were able to take the PGF and stabilize it. Then, two things happened. 1) Discovery channel type shows started having Bigfoot TV shows on. Unlike the ugly 1970's these shows where clean, well-produced with good sold fair scientific discussion about the subject. 2) The internet created discussion boards as well as YouTube which allowed further video access to the PGF subject. As long as these generations feels interested in Bigfoot they will continue to consume the Bigfoot subject with TV Ratings and other activity. This would apply to activity on the BFF. Yet, the next thing to happen may be two-fold. 1) The older generation feels tapped out about Bigfoot. They studied it to death and now they either accept it or reject it. They then move on to other interests or things that effect their life now (grandkids, a reverse mortgage ad, or arguing politics on the internet) 2) The young generation quickly considered the subject based on what they are exposed to (Finding Bigfoot, American Paranormal - Bigfoot, and so on) The hear people like Jeff Meldrum on TV and are much more likely to give him consideration in his opinions and are willing to challenge the old guard. To some young person they couldn't imagine someone like Meldrum would be taking a risk even talking about Bigfoot. The younger generation has less bigfoot concerns because they are focused on many of the issues they care about. Being more open minded they might be more inclined to believe in Bigfoot but then move right off of it because once they accept it, they don't need/care to study it further. It's just a given and they move on. They watch a Messin' with Sasquatch commercial and think Bigfoot or something like him is probably out there. They laugh and move on. As far as the BFF I have to think the population itself as seen a shift. The number of people who grew up (8 track tape generation and older) have sustained or died off. The younger generation replacing them might not have a deeper interest in Bigfoot since it didn't make up a big part of what they grew up with. In that way, I wonder if we get less interest in the BFF based on fewer being passionately interested in Bigfoot. I think the BFF probably skews older like me who grew up with less tings competing for our attention. One Bigfoot movie (Peter Graves) or some book in elementary school would be more likely to have a deeper impact on us. If the BFF is down, it actually makes sense. A downturn is probably expected no different than Car Shows, Cruise Nights, or Baseball Collections. I wonder if increasing BFF activity means reaching those older 50+ somethings who are -to my thinking- a lot more likely to have the interests in Bigfoot in the first place. Other than that, I have to think only newsworthy Bigfoot events would drive further interest. As we all know, there hasn't been another PGF in 50 + years.

What do you think of the US Forest Service's view on bigfoot?

Air medivac is deal maker / breaker when I select supplemental insurance. My deductible for an air medivac/ambulance is $350. I was recently talking to a former coworker about medivac costs. He was in a remote part of Alaska, and a medivac to Anchorage was $125K if they could fly. That is a tough pill to swallow.

What happens when a 13-year-old girl looks out her bedroom window and locks eyes—just six inches away—with something impossible? In this chilling and emotional episode, we meet Sandra, a lifelong North Alabama resident who experienced five encounters with a Sasquatch in just two weeks back in 1972. From face-to-face stares through a window to watching a black figure peer into her family’s chicken houses, Sandra takes us through vivid, terrifying moments that stayed with her for life. We revisit her farm—stocked with fish, livestock, fruit trees, and caves—and explore the strange patterns that continued decades later, including fresh footprints, whoops in the night, and handprints left on glass. You’ll also hear about the local church revival that was shut down by a peeking Bigfoot, and what Sandra’s family wouldn’t say out loud. Set near the edge of Bankhead National Forest, this is more than just a Bigfoot sighting—it’s a multigenerational mystery wrapped in Southern tradition, Cherokee ancestry, and the deep woods of Alabama.

As with any dangerous game? Its dangerous. So contingency plans would have to be in place to secure the safety of the research team. A Polar bear can rip your face off as easily as a 800 lbs primate. And I have seen them at times congregate in numbers. So watch your six! I have had 3 cougars on my trail camera together. The crossbow bolts bounce off the target typically. They are bigger and heavier than a biopsy dart.

Trogluddite...nice Star Trek reference!

I've thought of mentioning the BFF on the Facebook groups more often, but then I really don't want to be the one that inspires a bunch trolls to enlist here with their "they simply can't exist and you're either crazy or drunk if you think any of these reports are real, no matter what you think you saw" style or attitude...since those folks tend to drag down every thread they join with their insistent denial and defamation of any with perspectives that differ from their own....

Might be kinda close but, personally, I don't think even the application of boot black would render such a mask to appear as those faces seen in the video.

Reclaiming ones sampling dart is certainly pertinent to the topic. As are the potential difficulties in doing so...and its quite possible a sasquatch is going to take things "a lot more personally" than a polar bear at distance, and with considerably more intent towards those involved. One might do well to prepare, as best one might, for a group response, in case it proves out that they really don't often travel alone, and that they do possess the means for quick and concise communication between themselves. Like "one of those dwarves we've been keeping an eye on, just took a freaking core sample from my arm/leg with a freaking crossbow bolt"

Very germane to our subject for sure!

You were here MIB, I remember you for sure. I joined in 2016, so 9 years ago. Which I have to admit is kind of crazy, because it surely doesn't seem that long.

That polar bear darting is one context where you won't be following your subject around asking for your dart back! "Hey! Yeah, you, Bear! Gimme that back! ...oh dang...."

Sean writes "I'm a 51 year old clinical social worker, love the woods, and have had a few interesting experiences myself but we're writing today because my 13 year old, Bennett, came back from a week long Scout camp in Mississippi in which he AND his friend Dylan experienced the following: The two boys were hanging out by themselves in an area somewhat isolated, waiting on the other boy's dad to meet them. Bennett suggested they had time to walk up a nearby trail and look around. Shortly after starting out they hear footsteps in the woods to their left. And yes, when they stopped the footsteps would stop. The boys knew there was another nearby trail and called out, "Hello"? No answer. They walked again and again hear the footsteps. They stop again. Then, as Bennett tells it, they're looking in the direction of where the steps were coming from. He said the woods are not thick at all and they can see pretty well at 50' plus into the woods. He said they both see this clear mass from behind a tree that looks like it's "on delay". He then named a movie trying to describe what it looked like and I asked if it was like the Predator movie and he said yes. He said it looked to be a little taller than me so about 6' and the "top part" of it would lean out from the tree. Although I've heard of these experiences before, Bennett had not, which makes this awfully awfully strange in my book! We would love to get your feedback and experience about this "encounter"(?)! We will also be speaking with Seth, Seth writes "I found your pod cast last year and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m a farmer and Hunter and everything outdoors guy and I had a short experience while mushroom hunting with my ex girlfriend and our son 2019. I’ve wanted to share with my friends but I haven’t told anybody because like many others I don’t want the you’re crazy label. I’d love to talk to you and see what you think cause I’m still a skeptic on the whole Sasquatch thing but now I’m about 60%-40% that there’s something out there after what happened to us. I used to make fun of people who brought it up and now I actually feel bad cause I believe something is out there now and I’d like youre take?" Listen to the Podcast

Welcome bigfoothunter11, Dendawg, SquatchMan, MNShelley, Jbirdee, ItchySeabass, and Guyrox.

Good morning all! I'm Canadian, currently living in Newfoundland. I have always been interested in the Big Foot phenomenon but it looks like I have been looking at it in much more details over the last few months. I have never made any encounter despite having lived, in the past, in provinces where there have been significant reports (particularly BC). I have found a site consigning reports of sightings in Canada and there would have been 5 encounters in Newfoundland, ranging from the end of the 19th century to more contemporary sightings. So, I guess you never know what could happen. I'm here to learn more and hopefully enter good discussions. Cheers and thank you for having me on the forums.

What happens when a seasoned military vet and outdoorsman goes deer hunting deep in Southeast Oklahoma — and ends up surrounded by footsteps, whispers, and unexplainable lights in the night? In this intense and eerie episode, we sit down with Jerry, a retired security professional with decades of experience in the woods, who shares the chilling events that unfolded over three nights at a remote ridge near Cloudy, Oklahoma. From deliberate footsteps circling his tent, to strange gibberish voices, to a glowing orb floating silently down a logging road — Jerry’s encounter is one you won’t forget. You’ll hear stories from the Honobia Hunting Area, Three Rivers Wildlife Area, and the shadowy depths of the Ouachita Mountains — including moments of overwhelming fear, deer vanishing from camera feeds, and light phenomena that left even the wildlife frozen in place. More than just a Bigfoot tale, this episode dives into the strange overlap of the physical and the paranormal — and how one unforgettable trip forever changed how Jerry sees the woods. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

It's good to hear a lot of people posting on this topic, and it seems like we all agree that the Bigfoot Forum has lost a little energy. It's really encouraging to see that we have pages of replies on this topic so maybe the Bigfoot forum will remain alive for quite a while longer. I originally became interested in Bigfoot around 1980 after I had a midnight sighting while we're camped out under the stars up by Prospect Oregon on a wood cutting trip. At the time Bigfoot was not on my radar and what I saw was thought to be a big black bear looking at us while we were sleeping out but later I realized that whatever was looking at us did not have pronounced fuzzy ears, and it had a flat face and cone shaped head so I finally decided it was a Bigfoot. This incident got me started in Bigfoot research and I began to visit various spots in Southwest Oregon and visited deserted campgrounds at night and had some spooky experiences. I stopped going out and researching as much as I used to because at a couple of different areas I got tangled up in the woo and it was so confusing that I just decided I wouldn't pursue the study of Bigfoot for a while. Well, I kind of missed the subject, and I decided to get back on Bigfoot Forum and at least have interaction with other people. I'm 77 years old and will be 78 August 1st and I might start doing more field research. I have found some really out of the way campgrounds that are close to Coquille, Oregon, that are right in the middle of what I consider to be a Bigfoot territory. Anyway, if there are people that would like to come to southern Oregon and camp out in a primitive campground then maybe we can get this expedition going for 10 people who qualify and agree to meet in Coos Bay, Oregon where my wife and I live. We will meet at my home, for two days then head about 40 miles east to the mountains north of Coquille, Oregon for a primitive campout under the stars on tarps, or in tents or in trailers 16' or under. We will attract bigfoots into out campground and not hunt for them. This needs to happen before the middle of September before deer season. I don't use drugs and moderately drink so keep this in mind. If interested email me at gmcnair800@ gmail.com

Yes I get annoyed with people constantly trying to debunk every single thing that is posted on Reddit. Sure there are some photos that I will agree with that are fake but it seems they think every single photo or experience is a hoax. I'm glad many of those folks are not on here. I hope they don't discover this forum.

There’s some decent discussion on Reddit occasionally, however you are right. It’s mostly extremely negative and overrun with very closed minded people
