BIGFOOT DISTRIBUTION: American visualisation maps every recorded sighting of Bigfoot (except, it doesn't)

The Guardian blog writes that: 'Where is Bigfoot hiding? This interactive map, made by Ryan Robitalle, shows every recorded sighting of the mythical creature in the United States. The map was created using data from the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organisation, whose website contains detailed logs of Sasquatch sightings across the world. You can interact with the visualisation to explore the information in more detail. Click on a marker to see further details on that sighting, or browse reports by year or season.'



It is a remarkable piece of work, and my only criticism is with whoever subbed it at The Guardian, who claimed that it shows 'every recorded sighting of Bigfoot', when in fact it shows every sighting from the database of the BFRO. No slight is meant here towards Ryan Robitalle or the BFRO.

CFZ CANADA: Sasquatch from the Bottom Up Part 5: Bear Arms?


We’ve sort of climbed Sasquatch like a tree, which brings usnicely to his “upper limbs”.

Today we look at Sasquatch Arms—the real ones, not the Urban Dictionary definition of a woman who doesn’t shave!

Like all Bigfoot researchers, I habitually go back to the PGfilm for photographic evidence. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve viewed this film, especially famous frame 352. Each time I watch it I have a different opinion. One of the things I’m set on though is the upper appendages (arms) shown in that footage.
