Just curious about the Sasquatch literature. I'm a retired paleontologist, and the absence of reasonably recent (say, in the last 10,000yrs) paleontological evidence for the continued existence of these things is a pretty serious obstacle. Still, not impossible. After all, they just identified a new species of toothed whale recently. Call me a skeptic, but until some gun-toting woodsman brings one in dead (or one gets killed by a vehicle), I just can't believe. Hope to be proved wrong some day. The list below has grown and grown. Frankly, I find there are too many good, positive books about the nuts and bolts of Bigfootery to fit on one list of ten. It was a difficult chore to narrow the field down, so even though I expanded the length of the collection, I’m sure I have left out some fine texts. But this is an unemotional survey of what I consider the ten best books on the subject matter. It is true that some of the discussed books are exceedingly rare and out-of-print but if you look hard enough and scour the four corners of the internet long and hard you are likely to be rewarded.

When people describe the behavior [of such creatures], they seem to be very curious, but non confrontational," Tompkins said. Provo Canyon: 2012 In North American folklore, Bigfoot or Sasquatch are said to be hairy, upright-walking, ape-like creatures that dwell in the wilderness and leave footprints. Depictions often portray them as a missing link between humans and human ancestors or other great apes. They are strongly associated with the Pacific Northwest (particularly Oregon, Washington and British Columbia), and individuals claim to see the creatures across North America. Over the years, these creatures have inspired numerous commercial ventures and hoaxes. The plural nouns 'Bigfoots' and 'Bigfeet' are both in use.

Strasenburgh, Gordon R. Jr. Paranthropus: Once and Future Brother. Arlington, VA: The Print Shop, 1971. It looks like a gorilla squatted down, big broad shoulders, little peaked head and it's pulling off chunks of wood that seems to demonstrate extreme strength. Then, all of a sudden it stands up and it's got these long legs," Meldrum said, impressed by the video but yet to examine it in detail. There were a few times when people made it clear to us that they didn’t want us to film when we were filming,” Rofé recalls. “There was one time where David was going to go meet somebody on his own, a new source, and it went from a broad daylight meeting in a public place to a close-to-midnight meeting in a private location after a few changes. When he got there, there were eight other people he didn’t know were going to be present. That was a tense night. They wanted to drive him three hours away in the middle of the night to yet another location to talk to someone who had a crucial piece of information. That whole night, any time David could sneak away, he was texting me with updates, just to have a record of where he was and what was happening. I didn’t know which way it would shake out. We had a few nights like that, where we didn’t know if he’d be leaving the place he’d gone to.”Folklorists trac In North American folklore, Bigfoot or Sasquatch are said to be hairy, upright-walking, ape-like creatures that dwell in the wilderness and leave footprints.

Just saw this article on Discoery+'s new show Alaskan Killer Bigfoot: https://www.homernews.com/life/new-reality-tv-show-explores-nantinaq-stories/ This journalistic work by one of the earliest Bigfoot investigators is a foundational pillar of Sasquatch studies and an absolute must-read. Green was a British Columbia newspaper reporter and publisher who caught the Bigfoot bug in the 1950s, just before Sasquatch became a household name. He spent his life diligently compiling reports and publishing catalogs of those encounters in book form with the sober, critical eye of a journalist. This title, his magnum opus, includes the now famous story of prospector Albert Ostman, whom he interviewed and who claimed he was kidnapped by a Sasquatch while in his sleeping bag at Toba Inlet, BC. His friend and producer Zach Cregger recommended the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast, a collection of interviews with people spinning yarns of their run-ins. “Right away, I had no interest,” Rofé laughs. “I’m not a huge monster movie person, not that into creature-features. He told me to just try one episode, and four days later, I’d listened to 11 of them.” He was moved by the intensity and vulnerability of the contributors, and realized that even if the 10ft oddity they all claimed to have glimpsed might not be real, his potency in the collective imagination definitely was. This spark of inspiration set him on a search for an angle, some event or incident that spoke to the distinct spirit of Sasquatch country.
