r/bigfoot

I found a huge nest on the property my family is developing on 424 acres, backed by thousands of acres of forest (directly in line with the only cryptid sighting in the area, by people in two different cars)

My Dad walked into what looks like the start of one of these nests/spider webs made of trees (walked in easy, took a while to get out)
I'm not sure they're nests; but they are definitely not like any of the other "Tree Structures" I've ever seen (There were multiple "Tree Structures" and upside down trees on the 424 acres when we baught the property.)

Yes we did get drone footage of several things; but it could have been poachers in black hoodies. I don't think humans could weave trees like this, without equipment. This is in an impassable area on the 424 acres; so no vehicles can get there. So what even is this?

No new structures have appeared since we started mapping the forest and widening a road to some old camp sites; so no one/nothing is actively building anything.

I'll add the picture of the trapdoor spider nest looking one, and I'll add a picture of one off the hoodie poachers/whatever if I can add two pictures.

Those are trees TREES what even

So, ya. We baught the property knowing these things were there. I've been searching for cryptids since I was a kid, and it inspired some of my writing, but I have never seen anything else like this.

Maybe some of Y'all have come across one of these?

I'm using the site to run LARP cryptid crawls, once I'm sure it's safe; because it's too awesome not to let people investigate, even for fun.

This is why we use Drones

Hi Redditors, Google Maps has me stumped while tracing the original Bluff Creek timber road from Highway 96 to Louse Camp, where Jerry Crew found his first Bigfoot tracks in 1958. Any insight?

I see a Bluff Creek Trail, whose entrance sign says "Bluff Creek Road" and which runs five miles, passing Fish Lake before splitting into two identically named Bluff Creek Trails. Trail A continues another 9 miles along Bluff Creek to its terminus, while Trail B connects to the Blue Creek Mountain Trail (Forest Route 13N01) then Rte 12N10, which reaches Louse Camp.

Complicating matters further, up Highway 96, there is a switchbacking Bluff Creek Road connecting to the trail and a Bluff Creek Historic Trail, which seems to only run along the highway for a mile and a quarter.

Two questions, Bigfoot historians:

1. Which of these would have been the Bluff Creek Road entrance in 1958?

2. How much of that original road was destroyed in the 1964 flood?

Trail?

Road?

I always hear people say that sasquatch dung is never found because they burry it or they relieve themselves in hidden locations, but the other day i thought if it is possible that they just eat it and that's why it is never found?

Now this would cause some health issues but idk they are pretty smart, maybe they supplement it with herbs that lessen those issues. I just think it's a very simple and reasonable explanation as to why it isn't found.

Recently a friend felt captivated by a reel she saw on instagram about Bigfoot. She knew that I was interested in cryptids at large, and asked me where to start with going down the rabbit hole.

I’m realizing that I’ve been in the weeds for so long that I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve known of the idea of Bigfoot as long as I’ve had memories, because my parents were interested in the subject.

What are your go-to pieces of media that you find the most compelling? Whether that be a youtube video, story, podcast, etc. The PGF used to be my go-to, but I’m kinda waiting to see how that shakes out with the upcoming doc. I looked around for a mega file/thread that collected the best evidence but didn’t seem to find one so apologies if I overlooked that.

Ones I’ve considered sending her are stuff on the PGF, Bob Gymlan videos, Astonishing Legends podcast episodes, and maybe Monsterquest.

Thanks in advance

It's been a day or two since we've had a post on the film that everybody's talking about but almost no one has seen "Capturing Bigfoot."

When the film was pulled from subsequent festivals after SXSW 2026 with the public claim that the director et. al. were concerned with "piracy" I started wondering IF there were legal entanglements that didn't become apparent (or actionable) until the film was shown to the public, because that triggers an entirely different set of issues: like a clear claim of ownership.

Let's accept that the Johnson family has had possession of the "found footage" for a long time (since the late 1960s).

Whose actual property was the filmstrip originally?

Norm Johnson's? Al DeAtely's? Roger Patterson's?

I understandi that a "found footage" film cannot get E&O insurance without strong verification of the actual origins (despite the hype).

I recall that the Rene Dahinden estate did not choose to participate in the "Capturing Bigfoot" film.

Dahinden was awarded ownership of various elements (51% of the film, all individual frames of the film, etc.) as a result of a 1978 court case, and that would seemlingly pass to his estate.

What do you think? Is it likely that the film is having legal issues even before release?

Let me be clear, I am only speculating and have no direct knowledge of any matter that has not been made public.

Intro to Bigfoot studies online 2 session course taught by wildlife ecologist.

Imagine if the government monitored and somewhat affiliated with a group of squatches, then they give the squatches human babies to raise and we effectively end up with the greatest stealth soldiers on the planet. Just a silly thought I had, thought I'd share lol

I was reading my favorite blogger and she mentioned something about a skull that was found somewhere in the PNW. Apparently a small local paper ran a story on the find but the details are sketchy. Have any of you heard similar?

Hey everyone,

With all the hype around the Capturing Bigfoot documentary, I decided to take a closer look at the main claims being discussed.

In my video, I break down several reasons why I don’t think this documentary will actually debunk the Patterson–Gimlin film, even if it presents new footage or testimonies.

Some of the points I cover:

1. The reliance on controversial figures like Bob Heironimus
2. The lack of verifiable physical evidence (like a confirmed costume)
3. Questions around Clint Patterson’s statements
4. The timing of the documentary vs recent Bigfoot sightings
5. And the ongoing debate around gait analysis and anatomy

I tried to approach it as objectively as possible and focus on the arguments themselves rather than just picking a side.

Curious to hear what you think?

Do you believe the PG film can finally be debunked?

I’m surprised no one talks about this video, one of my favourites.

If we're now completely discounting the Patterson-Gimlin Film, what is the best 'other' piece of evidence that you believe to be genuine and credible? ( This can include film/video footage, photographs, eyewitness accounts or historical testaments). Basically anything you believe to be real

I don't think I've ever heard a knock. I have heard sounds like branches breaking, trees creaking, that sort of thing, but nothing I would say was a knock. I am curious how many of you have heard one?

I'm extending my stay in Central New York this week as I take a look at some Bigfoot sightings in Otsego and Chenango counties! Plus I share a personal story about a strange thumping sound Josh and I heard while camping in Basswood Pond State Forest a few weeks back. But we have some really weird Bigfoot sightings this week! A woman sees Bigfoot passing by her bedroom window on a sunny morning; a man and his two younger brothers hear weird howls and see a dark figure while camping; a boy and his dog watch a Sasquatch walking up a hill behind their home; and three friends see a tall Bigfoot walking down a road near their home one evening. What do you think of these strange sightings in the Mohawk Valley?
