Guest Post: Fossil evidence supporting existence of the Sasquatch

Many people are not aware that there does exist in the fossil record a creature very similar to the Sasquatch, but larger. It was discovered in China in 1935 and named "Gigantopithecus Blacki" The creature was first discovered by G.H.R. von Koenigswald, he along with other scientists of the time traveled to China and searched the markets there for "dragon bones" often fossils of extinct animals. He procured numerous teeth, and many species are represented by nothing more than teeth found fossilized.


Since then, Chinese scientists have discovered many teeth and 4 jaws of the Gigantopithecus. They have determined that the Gigantopithecus grew up to 12 feet in height and weighed as much as 1200 pounds, which makes it larger than the sasquatch which averages 8 feet in height and 800 pounds. scientists believe it stood erect and walked bipedally as do humans and the sasquatch.


With the huge gaps in the primate fossil record, and the fact that a species of creature very similar to the Sasquatch actually did exist, then the existence of the Sasquatch is very reasonable and not so incredible as many people might believe. The top photograph is of artist Bill Munns and his accurate reconstruction of a Gigantopithecus.

    I always had one question about this theory. Can you tell an animal is bipedal from Teeth and jaw fragments? It is definitely a Great argument to why we can't find any bones of a sasquatch though. I mean these guys were thought to live for quite a while and these are the only fossils we have.

    i think most of us are aware of the teeth (and I think perhaps a finger bone recently found?)because of Dr. Krantz' work.
    But, the problem with this theory is that most megafauna and flora became smaller with evolution, an example would be the giant panda I think or tapir...? Not recalling all, but that is the primary direction of animals and plants that survived..they got smaller. Homo species on the other hand got bigger. So H.erectus, the most ubiquitous of the Homos, as a teen was 5'7"(much larger than h.sapiens at the time) and had an "unusual" orientation in the spine....seems H.erectus is better fossil evidence of Sasquatch to me, especially given modern reports that Sasquatch's are omnivores. And personal experience bears that out. Also, it is problematic that Blacki was most likely a quadruped and evolved to bi-ped? Makes a more eloquent argument that a homo species evolved into a home species, even if hidden. Of course there may be more than one species ...and I still wonder about all those very large skulls and skeletons recovered from native America burial sites still analyzed...

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

BREAKING: Finding Bigfoot Production Company Seeks Filming Permit In Virginia

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
