Below is my attempt at a timeline of developments in the Bigfoot world for the past 30 years. I've tried to include significant events including research conducted, evidence gathered, hoaxes, and media phenomena. Let me know what I've missed. 1991 First broadcast of the TV series "Harry and the Hendersons." 1993 Klamath Screams recorded. "Harry and the Hendersons" cancelled. 1994 Freeman Footage recorded.

Godspeed! Maybe now you know the truth.

Thanks for sharing this! Shane was amazing to interview during this episode and such a humble guy. Loved being able to hear him talk about the new nest finds which is extremely exciting. I also talked to him about the Devil’s Creek property in this episode but unfortunately the property had been sold and is no longer available for researchers to utilize. Sad news there.

^^^^^ Was that the event where a cow on a thermal image was identified as a bigfoot? A moooooving experience.
