^^^^ I had to dig out Raincoast Sasquatch and review the swimming activity. For those of you who are keeping track, Raincoast Sasquatch is the book with the upside down trees, east of Klawock Lake, Prince of Wales Island, AK.. The author has at least 3 reports of Sasquatch swimming out to and boarding boats. Most interesting was the incident of a Sasquatch reaching through an open window and touching the skippers arm. No harm done, just curious. Current and historic reports have Sasquatch swimming long distances underwater. They are observed only using their legs for swimming, like a frog. No 'dog paddle' or 'Australian crawl' type swimming. Haida and Tlingit stories have them swimming underwater with only their legs for powerful strokes. Some of the First Nation people have been in BC and SE Alaska for over 10,000 years. Lack of arm use brings up interesting proposals related to shoulder joint mobility. Apes lack the shoulder joint mobility that humans have that could be used for swimming. Sasquatch swimming method looks like nonhominid ancestry. Playing the nonhominid card based on swimming will get you people going. There is another type of water sighting, far from shore. "Sea Man", the moving dead head, looks like a vertical dead head and watches boats pass by. The Sea Man slips underwater and is not seen surfacing when boats attempt to get close. There have been sightings in Alaska, BC, Washington and Oregon. They scare fishermen. No pictures are available. Some believe that these sightings are Sasquatch that are treading water. Maybe something else in the sea creature genre. Couple things to keep in mind: "You will need a bigger boat" just give them your fish

Dear BFF Members, The Forum Management Team proposed and the Steering Committee approved releasing the raw SSR Dataset to the community in order to facilitate independent research. The SSR database will always be available if you need to use its capabilities, but we have received requests for the raw dataset many times in the past, so here it is. There will be regular releases posted in this thread as more data is classified. Attribution to "The Bigfoot Forums" is required for any published analysis. We hope it helps somebody advance the search.

Hello. I have had an interest in bigfoot stories since I was a young boy. I find this to be a fascinating topic and am looking forward to reading the content on this site.

I never thought a Moose would eat dry hay. I was wrong. Deer will. But I think a herd of Elk dominates Deer and Moose. Moose are very solitary and White tail deer are in between. But the Elk left and now it’s just Deer on the hay.

The sightings are bigger than a harbor seal with about 3--4 feet of body out of water. Descriptions include hemp like hair, verly large eyes, head and no-neck shoulders, 2 to 2-1/2 feet wide, face with nose and chin, hairless face with hair on top of head. Fishermen dismiss seal or sea lion possibilities. The watching activity and stealthy slipping below the surface is seal like. Spending time floating around in SE Alaska would be quite a mission.

Interesting food for thought. Sounds like a harbor seal to me.

I know the research compilations of J. Robert Alley such as in Raincoast Sasquatch has several events off southeast Alaska coast and the sunshine coast area of BC as I remember. Some of them involved porpoising under boats and even attempting to board the gunwales of boats as I remember. Blogspot has a good page with details too.
