How To Tell If You're Looking At Bigfoot Hair

By -
Bigfoot hair from Golden Ears Provincial Park, British Columbia.

There are different ways to determine if you're looking at Sasquatch hair. You can take it to a DNA lab and have them try to match it up with known animals in their database, or you can slide it under the microscope and look for the presence or absence of the medulla.

One of the pioneers of Bigfoot hair analysis is Dr. Henner Fahrenbach. He is considered to be the world's leading authority in sasquatch hair DNA analysis. According to Fahrenback, the hallmark of Sasquatch hair is the absence of an unimportant innermost layer called the medulla. The medulla is often present in human hair and scientists have yet to determine the purpose of the medulla.

Fahrenback believes that human and sasquatch hair have considerable similarities, but there are some phylogenetical differences that makes sasquatch hair unique.


Our hair strands are made up of three main components - the medulla, the cortex, and the cuticle. The innermost or center portion of the hair shaft is the medulla. It is composed of round cells, two to five rows across. Thick or coarse hair usually contains a medulla. Fine hair for the most part lacks a medulla, as does naturally blond hair. The purpose of the medulla has not yet been determined. Bigfoot hair purportedly lacks this part.

Here's what the medulla looks like under the microscope. If it's missing the innermost layer, then it's probably Sasquatch hair says Fahrenbach:


This video of Dr. Henner Fahrenbach was recorded by Thom Powell back in 2002 as he was being interviewed by an overseas film crew.

      That's Medusa. She's a mythological critter, just like Bigfoot.

      The Lisa Rantala at 5:11 isn’t the Lisa Rantala who frequents this website because “Lisa Rantala's” portrait doesn't appear as a silhouette, it's orange.

      Which means that Lisa Rantala at 5:11 is impersonating “Lisa Rantala” who is impersonating a newscaster named Lisa Rantala.

      It's kind of like the way “Sally” is impersonating Sally Ramey who is impersonating a publicist.

    So no medula then its Squatch, or human blond hair or human fine hair, so how does that help identify anything?

    You have to pluck a hair from a Bigfoot specimen to have a control sample to compare other hair against before you KNOW it's a Bigfoot hair...show me the monkey.

    I am a jim, Bigjimm" Whitehead; biologist and MABRC researcher, so let get this out of the way here.

    Faranbach's info is inacurate. Human hair from the same individual can have or lack a medulla
    . His discounting of hair based on a medulla is like throwing out juvie sighting reports because they
    are too small. It doesn't allow for variation.

    My experience is that sasquatch hair is structurally quite like human pubic hair, though much longer
    with a natural worn tip.

    The presence of a medulla is more connected to:

    A) the type and location of hair on the specimen
    B) The health and age of the hair

    I have hair samples that were left by a bigfoot
    that slid down an rocky embankment, I watched it
    slide down one night and found hair the next morning
    . After putting it under the microscope, I found that
    it looked like 9 inch human pubic hair...with a medulla. It matched other samples sent to me, including a few that Dr. Faranbach had discounted.
    The only sample I have seen that lacked a Medulla
    was from a cave impressed into clay that was quite old, and like all things, even hair breaks down.

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.
