Chasing Bigfoot: The Quest For Truth

For decades, grainy photographs and campfire stories told the story of a towering creature that lived in solitude in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and around the world. But where some see a myth, others see a chance to make history.

Since the first recorded sighting of Bigfoot in 1811, a stream of reports and media has flooded newspapers, television, and the Internet, and an astonishing number of people have had first-hand experiences.

The rise of Bigfoot began long ago, when the creature made its first appearance in Native American art and lore. Since then, the mystery surrounding Bigfoot has escalated into a cultural phenomenon.

Thousands of reports, photos, and videos pour in each year of Bigfoot encounters from all 49 continental states and Canada, and public interest is only increasing. In the 21st century, the Bigfoot phenomenon has reached new heights.

Along the course of Bigfoot history, research and investigations have been carried out. From these investigations, evidence has been obtained and analyzed, in the hope of bringing an end to the quest for truth.
