Hall, Mark A. and Loren Coleman True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive? NY: Anomalist Books, 2010. Bindernagel, John A. North America’s Great Ape: The Sasquatch. Courtenay, BC: Beachcomber Books, 1998. Jump ahead to the 21st century where the continued elusiveness of the Sasquatch is belied by its ubiquity in pop culture — including in books. The Internet helped the formerly fringe topic explode in popularity and enter the mainstream. The nonfiction book offerings on the Sasquatch have multiplied exponentially in tandem. Many of them are by part-time enthusiast researchers. A few skeptics have added their voices to the cascading pile of wildman tomes. So too have those who plug the more esoteric takes on the Sasquatch, insisting the creature is supernatural, interdimensional, and/or extraterrestrial.

When people describe the behavior [of such creatures], they seem to be very curious, but non confrontational," Tompkins said. Provo Canyon: 2012 Tchernine, Odette. The Snowman and Company UK: Hale, 1961/ In Pursuit of the Abominable Snowman. New York: Taplinger Publishing, 1971. (Like Ivan T. Sanderson’s book, these works contain some of the earliest treatments of North American Bigfoot/Sasquatch reports.) by Loren Coleman, Cryptozoologist and Author, Mysterious America, Cryptozoology A to Z, Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America, “Loren Coleman Presents” series from Cosimo Books, and other books. 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.” Skunk apes are supposedly swamp-dwelling versions of Bigfoot that are rumored to roam the southeastern U.S. On Oct. 28, 2013, a YouTube account named " Josh Highcliff'' uploaded one of the most popular skunk ape videos. In it, the cameraman films a potential skunk ape foraging in a Mississippi swamp.Meldrum noted that anatomical features visible on the film, such as the proportions of the face, match up with early humans such as Paranthropus boisei— a species that lived around 2.3 million years ago to 1.2 million years ago, according to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. The size of the creature in the film is estimated to be between around 6 feet to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 m) tall.

So there you have it. My best of the best, fifty Sasquatch/Bigfoot selections for your consideration. I've got over 300 footprint cast copies and original materials in my laboratory that form the basis of a remarkable body of data that attests to the fact that there is something out there leaving these footprints." Meldrum said. "And the most straightforward answer is that it's a bipedal primate species that's not recognized by science." In a subject area whose works tend to push hard arguments, it’s nice to read a book about the Sasquatch that straddles the line of the exist vs. doesn't exist debate — while also telling a story. Washington State natural history writer and author Robert Michael Pyle weaves an entertaining and insightful yarn that is part travel memoir, part meditation on Bigfoot, and part manifesto on nature. The book chronicles his trek into the unprotected wilderness of the Dark Divide near Mount St. Helens. Pyle navigates landscapes of ecology, geography, and human belief. The book’s philosophical approach fills an underrepresented niche in the Sasquatch literature. So how does one navigate this cacophonous, shaggy, free-for-all of book offerings? A lifetime’s experience exploring this topic has led me to compile a list of some of my personal favorites.Bayanov, Dmitri. Bigfoot: To Kill or To Film? The Problem of Proof.

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.Debant, Jean-Paul Sasquatch/Bigfoot and the Mystery of the Wild Man: Cryptozoology & the Mythology in the Pacific Northwest (translated by Paul LeBlond).
