Witnessing Bigfoot

Glen Boulier Spotted Bigfoot two times on the roads outside his hometown of Princeton, BC. These sightings were the start of his quest to discover the true nature of the elusive creature. He spent years researching the stories, the legends, the speculations. He questioned people about then own particular experiences and interviewed researchers, hunters and trackers, forestry worker and many others. Years of research led him to many stories, from brief encounters to long-term interactions. When Glen learned about tracks that disappeared in the middle of a snowfield and the complete failure of trail cameras to capture an image, he knew then that Bigfoot was more than a rarely seen physical being of the woods. He dug in and went on to speak with Native Americans in the US, the First People in Canada, and others who knew about Bigfoot's connections with the spirit worlds. Witnessing Bigfoot objectively documents what he found. Glen wishes that the Bigfoot he saw was a simple forest creature, but the evidence seems to suggest that it is more. Now you can add Glen's fascinating discoveries to everything else you know about Bigfoot and come to your own conclusions. The quest continues. Book jacket.

Childress takes a deep look at Bigfoot Nation—the seemingly real world of bigfoot around us in the United States and Canada. Whether real or imagined, that bigfoot has made his way into the American psyche cannot be denied. He appears in television commercials, movies, and on roadside billboards. In fact, bigfoot is everywhere, with actors portraying him in variously believable performances and it has become the popular notion that bigfoot is both dangerous and horny. Indeed, bigfoot is out there stalking lover’s lanes and is even more lonely than those frightened teenagers that he sometimes interrupts. Bigfoot, tall and strong as he is, makes a poor leading man in the movies with his awkward personality and typically anti-social behavior. He doesn’t care a skunk’s gland how many movies or commercials are made about him without any royalties whatsoever being paid. To him, Bigfoot Nation is all about style, a lifestyle—shall we say—that keeps bigfoot on the fringes of society, gently creeping into our dreams.

Last August, two men in rural Georgia announced that they had killed Bigfoot. The claim drew instant, feverish attention, leading to more than 1,000 news stories worldwide—despite the fact that nearly everyone knew it was a hoax. Though Bigfoot may not exist, there’s no denying Bigfoot mania. With Bigfoot, Joshua Blu Buhs traces the wild and wooly story of America’s favorite homegrown monster. He begins with nineteenth-century accounts of wildmen roaming the forests of America, treks to the Himalayas to reckon with the Abominable Snowman, then takes us to northern California in 1958, when reports of a hairy hominid loping through remote woodlands marked Bigfoot’s emergence as a modern marvel. Buhs delves deeply into the trove of lore and misinformation that has sprung up around Bigfoot in the ensuing half century. We meet charlatans, pseudo-scientists, and dedicated hunters of the beast—and with Buhs as our guide, the focus is always less on evaluating their claims than on understanding why Bigfoot has inspired all this drama and devotion in the first place. What does our fascination with this monster say about our modern relationship to wilderness, individuality, class, consumerism, and the media? Writing with a scientist’s skepticism but an enthusiast’s deep engagement, Buhs invests the story of Bigfoot with the detail and power of a novel, offering the definitive take on this elusive beast.
