Why the Pacific Northwest Produces the Best Track Evidence
Where dense forests, soft soils, and ancient migration corridors create the perfect conditions for footprints that last.
The Pacific Northwest isn’t just the cultural home of Bigfoot; it’s the region that consistently produces the clearest, deepest, and most scientifically compelling track evidence in North America. There’s a reason so many of the classic casts, long trackways, and high‑credibility impressions come from Washington, Oregon, and northern California. The land itself preserves the story.

The Proctor Valley Road Sighting
Where a lonely stretch of California backroad meets a creature locals have whispered about for decades.Proctor Valley Road, just outside Chula Vista, has always carried a reputation. Long before modern sightings, locals talked about strange shapes crossing the road at night, livestock disappearing, and a “tall, shaggy figure” seen slipping between the boulders and brush. It’s the kind of place where the desert feels too quiet, and headlights never seem to reach far enough.

The Tennessee Wildman Researchers
The Historians Who Preserved America’s Earliest Bigfoot
Long before the word Bigfoot existed, long before the Patterson–Gimlin film, and long before modern cryptozoology, Tennessee had its own name for the creature that haunted the deep woods: The Wildman.
The stories were old, older than statehood, older than the Civil War, and they were kept alive not by scientists or organized investigators, but by frontier journalists, rural historians, and later folklorists who treated these accounts as part of the region’s living memory.

How Local Sightings Keep Bigfoot Research Alive
Local sightings are the backbone of Bigfoot research because they create the one thing investigators can’t manufacture: fresh activity. When someone reports a howl, a track, a shadow figure, or a roadside encounter, it reignites interest in the entire region.

What Makes a Bigfoot Report Believable?
Not every sighting is equal. Here’s what separates credible encounters from the rest.
In the world of Bigfoot research, thousands of reports surface every year, but only a small percentage hold up under scrutiny. A believable Bigfoot report isn’t about drama or shock value. It’s about consistency, detail, and behavior patterns that match decades of witness testimony.
Here’s what researchers generally look for when evaluating a sighting.

Why So Many Bigfoot Sightings Happen Near Old Mining Towns
Abandoned tunnels. Isolated ridgelines. Forgotten towns. The perfect recipe for mystery.
Across Appalachia, especially in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, a surprising number of Bigfoot sightings cluster around old mining towns. Places like Lynch, Benham, Harlan, Matewan, and countless coal camps that once echoed with machinery now sit quiet, reclaimed by the forest.
But why do so many encounters happen in these areas?
Here are the leading theories researchers and witnesses keep coming back to.

The Matilda Story | Part 5 | Aftermath and where is the documentary
The paths of those directly involved with Matilda's story have gone in separate directions, leaving many questions unanswered.
The DNA study by Dr. Melba Ketchum's DNA lab are still hotly debated in some circles. Other DNA studies have been made with alleged sasquatch samples since then. And all fall under the same discussions pro and con; belief or doubt; faked or real. However, there is still an underlying problem with any DNA study that has been done or will be done. Until the scientific community formally accepts the existence of a mammal known as a sasquatch, there can be no definitive study made of any DNA samples. The scientific community will not formally acknowledge the existence of a sasquatch until the government formally admits to its existence. And I am sure that the government in turn will tell you that no such creature exists because scientists have not found one yet.
And there you have the Sasquatch Catch-22.

The Matilda Story | Part 4 | Videos and photographs of Matilda
With the release of Dr. Melba Ketchum's paper on the DNA study, was a video of an alleged sleeping sasquatch. Both Adrian Erickson and Ketchum vowed for the authenticity of the video. The subject shown was known as "Donor 37", or more popularly as "Matilda".
It was said the multi-millionaire Wally Hersom (BRFO backer) and Matt Moneymaker (BRFO and Finding Bigfoot) were granted exclusive access to the full-length footage.

The Matilda Story | Part 3 | Dr. Melba Ketchum and her DNA Study | Short Version
Dr. Melba Ketchum stirs lots of emotions. There is no denying the feelings when her name is mentioned. Her dealings with Sasquatch could fill a book, along with all the rumors and stories and such. I'm not writing a book.
I'm going to try to give a little personal information on her and then try to give what I can find as a timeline of her business venture into Sasquatch DNA. Even that won't be a simple thing. But I'll try.

The Matilda Story | Part 2 | The Erickson Project
The Erickson Project ran from 2005 to 2010. Its mission was to find proof that the sasquatch was real through forensic evidence: photographs, videos, footprints, skin, hair, and saliva samples.
Erickson described a typical day researching for the Project: Up in the early morning to check the area for any evidence that Sasquatch had come around. Checking for prints, checking if the food was touched. Then later in the day, he was "dealing with local residents and their issues". Maybe they would do some "B-Roll" videotaping. Then, just before dark, the team would go into the woods with night vision cameras and wait for the sasquatch to show themselves.

The Matilda Story | The Sleeping Sasquatch
Each of us at one time or another has heard a word or two about Matilda, the sleeping sasquatch, and the Erickson Project.
Realizing there is so much more to this story than a video of something "breathing" and a few photos of a Chewbacca look alike, I started looking around in an attempt to try to piece things together.
I think as a first step, perhaps we should get to know the "players". Trying to understand a person and his reasons for things can go far in attempting to see a larger picture than what was once before our eyes.

More Roadside Sasquatch Stories
Law enforcement officers see many strange things throughout their careers. One thing many hesitate to report to their superiors is anything paranormal, including seeing a sasquatch. So when these two deputy sheriffs stepped forward and told their stories to John Green, he paid attention.
Although this sighting happened as a teenager, this deputy sheriff never changed his story even years later when Green interviewed him.

Puyallup Screams | Washington State
There is a history of screams in this area just east of Tacoma. The following are just a few of the stories.
The screams seem to have first come to public attention in July of 1972 when Marlin Ayris, a resident of Forest Green (at the time a brand new subdivision), wrote to the Tacoma News Tribune. He spoke about hearing loud screams for a couple of nights coming from the woods behind his house. His neighbors claimed they did not hear the sounds, and some of them thought he was making it up. When it began to happen again the next year, Ayris made several recordings but didn't make any particular effort to properly care for them. He even reused some of the tapes for other things. One that did survive is a recording made during the day by hanging a microphone for the recorder out a window of his house. The original of the recording was not kept, but copies made from it exist.

Sasquatch Roadblock
In 1966 Roger Patterson received a letter from a man telling of a terrifying event that happened to him back in 1952. Patterson then shared the letter with John Green. Here is part of what he wrote\ :
"The first part of the story took me back to 1952 when I had gone down to Orleans <California> to start preliminary work on a logging operation with men by the names of Lee Vlery and Josh Russel.

More Like a Man Than an Animal
On March 18, 1987, there was a seven-man crew working outdoors in the cold and frozen wilderness near Fellers Heights, British Columbia. Four of the men called attention to something they saw on the outskirts of their worksite. They described a creature that was 7 ft tall, maybe 400 lbs. A monster.
Myles Jack, one of the workers, said: "But it was a real mover. It was really fluid in the way it moved." The creature was crouched down for part of the time, seeming to watch the men as they worked. When it circled the work site, it would peer at them through the trees, still watching them work. "It was like we were on his territory and he was checking us out."
