Visualized: Entire BFRO Database On One Page

By -

Here's a cool looking website that attempts put every reported Bigfoot sightings starting from 1954 to 2012 on a nice looking interactive viz. What's interesting about this page is the frequency timeline chart that lets you select a time frame and see what time of year sightings occur the most.


To make sense of all the data gathered from the BFRO's website, they had to "clean" it up a bit. According to the people who put this visual together, "The data was attempted to be scrubbed and cleaned to attain some type of normalcy, unfortunately the BFRO data submission process has no validation and fields are often used arbitrarily by submitters."

    It would be interesting to see this with an overlay of mountainous regions in the US and see if it correlates.

    Funny how the top left corner is like a big red foot, only three toes though.

    I would like to ask something: Is there a correlation between those spots and river systems?

      The spots correlate to rivers, large bodies of water, and forested areas. This is why not many sightings in the plains states.

    Are there donut shops near those spots?

    There is a definite correlation between sasquatch sightings and rain fall. John Greene found areas that received 20" of rainfall a year was a consistent factor for having a sighting.

      Rain, rivers and high country are all directly related. Mountains trap the clouds, they become dense and rain, rivers collect the water.
      Do you think this has to do with the BF's preferred habitat -or- is it because that is not OUR preferred habitat? Do sighting occur at the beginning of their territory, or the end of ours?

      We're on a falling trend, but since the recession started, people have been spending less time out in the boonies. I'm not saying that's everything involved, but it need to be considered.

    Too bad its not accurate in some areas. The BFRO gets way too much credit for being a direct representation of BF population and many folks theories spoken as if their fact on certain densities of aledged populations. Nice but incomplete.

    Could you imagine how many more red dots would be on the page if all the reports the BFRO has were on this map.

    Cool, but not too scientific given the limitations of the database and other factors. Hard to say anything about seasonal activity of bigfoot too, as the high amount of reported encounters shown in summer and fall probably corresponds to the high amount of people in wilderness areas during those periods more than it does to bigfoot being out and about.

      Yes. Numerous. Even in Indian burial mounds. Listed as giant races or tribes of peoples. Can't be touched, Indian tradition.

      No, never. Everyone once in a while someone will claim to find "bones of a giant" but it's always proven to be a hoax.

      My big bone is no hoax, though my wife can't believe it sometimes.

    What's interesting is that there are no large animals with a nationwide range, from the Northwest to Southeast and everywhere in between. Interesting that there are bigfoot reports from every single state, yet the creature has yet to be discovered.

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

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.
