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.

Unexpected Late Night Encounter

On Sunday after church, we made a trip up to our local Family Dollar store. While there I ran into a local person from our area, a person that I know, who had something they wanted to share with me.

What follows is the story he told me, along with some of my thoughts.

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."

Vancouver Bigfoot Tales

John Green made many contacts who shared the stories they heard in their areas with him. Two of them for the Vancouver area were Bruce McKelvie and Charles Cates.

Bruce Mckelvie was a journalist and historian, who spent time listening to the stories told by the people in the area. He was known to keep silent if asked to and never told of the secret encounters. Charles Cates, Mayor of North Vancouver, also collected stories of these creatures. Both of these men recorded these tales long before anyone thought to keep any sort of systematic records. Unfortunately, most of what they knew was lost when they died in the late 1950s.

British Bigfoot | Wildman | Woodwose

There are so many reasons people will give for Britain not being home to any Bigfoot-type creature.
NO FOSSIL BASED EVIDENCE. NO BONES. NO LIVE OR DEAD SPECIMENS. HABITAT.

Hmmm. Those all sound familiar. Let's see, we (well, most of us) will agree that there appears to be a large, hairy man-beast living in North America  and we can list:

Andrew Genzoli and Betty Allen: Pioneers in the Search for Bigfoot

In the annals of American Cryptids, few creatures have captured the public's imagination quite like Bigfoot, the elusive giant said to roam the remote forests of North America. Two figures stand out in the early days of Bigfoot lore: journalists Andrew Genzoli and Betty Allen of the Humboldt Times.

Bigfoot of Roachdale, Indiana

In August 1972 bigfoot came to the home of Randy and Lou Rogers of Roachdale, Indiana.

They first became aware of something coming around their farmhouse early in the month. Whatever it was made its presence known by banging on the walls and windows of the farmhouse, gradually increasing each night. When Roger would run outside to try to catch who or what it was; he would catch only a glimpse of something heavily built, around 6 ft. tall disappearing through a cornfield. For two to three weeks this creature would arrive between 10 and 11:30 each night, bringing with it an odor like a dead animal or rotting garbage.

Sightings in Iowa in the 1970s

Iowa has a long history of bigfoot sightings. An old newspaper clipping states: " It' is the mysterious creature folks around here have heard about for 50 years -- a furry, scary thing that stands like a man."

The article continued by telling of a woman who talked of hunters and trappers who would tell tales of animals that walked like men when she first moved to the area as a young girl.

Wisconsin Has Sasquatch

Wisconsin is not just pasture land and cows and Milwaukee. There are rivers and lakes and forested land. And there are sasquatch.

In 1964, a man driving down State Highway 89, reported seeing a sasquatch run across the highway in front of him. This happened shortly after midnight and was near the Illinois border. When the sasquatch crossed in front of him, it jumped the fences on either side of the highway.

Bigfoot Research Area | 6-11-24

The wife and I finally had a chance to go hiking in one of my Bigfoot research areas. I have only been in this particular area 2 or 3 times this year. One of the times was a very cold winter hike I took back near the end of January. So, I was excited to get back into the area.

We found several interesting things and made a short video of our adventure.
Here is the video.
