Have you ever come across something in the woods that makes you stop and think, "Wow..How in the world?" As your mind tries to solve the puzzle. I have and this is the reason for this blog. I am fascinated by some of the structures I have come across while seeking out answers to the age old question, "Do Sasquatch exist?"

In the past few years I have heard and seen some strange things while venturing deep into the woods which only adds to my curiosity and fuels my need to learn more.

Just for the record...I am not saying that every weird or unexplained structure out there is evidence that bigfoot exist. But if they do exist and they are creating some of these structures, it provides an interesting look into their behavior. In this blog I will be sharing photos of structures that I have come across and have found interesting. I invite you to share photos of your own and comments.

Posted photographs



I welcome comments from followers or readers regarding any post or photograph. The whole reason for this blog is to get outside views and theories. To send photos use the email address provided in the "About me" section.

Correlation between bigfoot structures and those of Apes

This link really give some insight into nest building and shelters that exist in the Ape world.  Some of these structures look very familiar to those of who have seen them out in the wild where Apes do not inhabit.

Leaping into the world of bigfoot research


              When I was a child I remember watching television with my siblings, and as the tv channel was flipped from station to station I recall a moment where it was paused on the now famous video that was taken by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in 1967. At the time I was too young to know the significance of that video.  It obviously impacted me in small way but I was really too young to understand.  I was curious but that’s as far as it went.
                In 2007 that would change.  I was shown a website which had posted pictures taken from a game cam out in Pennsylvania of a creature that I felt didn’t really fit my personal view of what a bear should look like.  To me, it had more of primate quality to its’ appearance.  I became hooked, almost obsessed as I scoured the internet for images of bears and primates.  I tried to find images that were comparable in the posture just so I could sort the differences.   I also took on the task of trying to learn more about bigfoot.  As I delved deeper and deeper into the history of this creature, the more fascinated I had become. 
                In 2008 my boyfriend and I ventured out with the BFRO on few expeditions which only served to fuel my need to learn more, discover more.   Although we currently do not attend BFRO expeditions we do get out and do our own field research.  At this point I would like to say that our short time with the BFRO was a great experience and we met some pretty wonderful and knowledgeable people. 
                We are currently researching an area in Wisconsin which has had some sighting in the past.  Do I feel as if we will find tangible proof?  Probably not but the research might uncover other clues.  Who knows what we might find.  Science and research have to start somewhere, right?  Without research… there is no science. 
Which brings me to Thom Powell.   I am not mentioning him just because he is at the top of my list for people I want to interview, but because I loved the approach he took in his book “The Locals”.   Great read by the way and I would recommend it for anyone who believes and even those who do not believe!   With him being a science teacher I believe he is able to view reports and do research from a scientific standpoint.  One might say, “Well, you don’t have to be a scientist to prove anything.”  Very true, but a scientist will work within scientific constraints.  The down side to this is that scientific constraints would do nothing to assist us in the discovery of this creature if it was something other than flesh and blood and more of an interdimensional being.  Science could explain an undiscovered primate, but we need more technological advances to discover something that is more paranormal.
It is my belief when out in the field that you cannot simply state that every howl, tree structure, hair sample, pile of scat, or sounds of limbs breaking is bigfoot related.  Forests are full of wild animals and one must take this into consideration and use it to try and rule out known creatures.  I really think that a good researcher should look at everything skeptically, analyze their findings and only until it cannot be explained should it be considered “possible” evidence.
Evidence, what does constitute as evidence?  The definition of evidence is simple:  Something or things that is/are helpful in forming a conclusion or judgment.    This seems like a great time to share with you a quote from Thom Powell taken from “The Locals”  “there is so much secondary or anecdotal bigfoot evidence that if a bigfoot were being tried for a capital crime, he would get the electric chair.”  -Thom Powell, The Locals 2003
There are some in the bigfoot research community that do not put much stock into tree structures being evidence.  My colleague (boyfriend) is one of them.  He does not dismiss the idea, but does feel that there are too many other variables that could explain the presence of them.  He does have a point and I do try to look at them from the “skeptical” standpoint until I find one that defies any explanation other than bigfoot or possible human.   I have one such find that shared on here entitled “Somewhere in WI 2010” that even defies (at least I think so) being built by human unless of course that human was  strong enough to bend a 12-14” diameter trees over which cracked under the pressure and able break off and  place a huge tree top over them to form a shelter.  Not all the trees were 12-14” in diameter, many were smaller but all were pulled in towards the center to create a natural cover from the elements.   The area under this “shelter” had to measure no less than 7’ wide and no less than 10-12’ feet long.  The tree top that sat upon this “shelter” looked as if it had come from a tree that was about 20+ feet away and stood about just as high.   Feel free to look at the pictures and tell me your thoughts… whether skeptical or not, I would love to hear what you have to say.  There are two others that are titled “Somewhere in WI part 2 and part 3 which I feel do not fit my “structures as evidence criteria” but they are interesting.  I am fascinated with structures because of the behavioral aspect of them.  They show thought process and possible communication.  I hope to be able to share more photos as I continue my research.
The bigfoot research community- I am not an expert researcher, nor do I claim to be.  I am at best still an amateur in this field, but I do know that to state this is a bigfoot research community that it should be treated as a community.  Every organization is going to have opposing thoughts.  Which I believe is actually good thing.  For research to be fruitful you need to have different views and ideas… the more you have, the more researchers can learn about what works and what doesn’t.  I do not however agree with groups pitting against one another because of their opposing views.  I don’t feel this is beneficial to the community.  The truth of the matter is that no one truly knows what works or even the truth about what bigfoot/s really are.  All the information out there regarding these creatures are in fact only theories.
In closing I would like to thank all of you researchers out there who have contributed their time, money and patience!  I do not think that people who do not pursue the answers to the age old question "Do they exist?" can appreciate the vast amount of time, money and patience it takes to acquire even the smallest amount of evidence.  I hope you all know that your work has not gone unnoticed and unappreciated by those of us working beside you to find the answers.

Another trip today

My partner in crime and I took a drive back to "somewhere in WI"  We are trying to systematically explore trails in that area.  Unfortunately we really didn't find anything interesting or hear anything.  Of course though he's not big into structures anyways.   We did however come across at least one or two deer on every trail we hit. They seemed to just stand there watching us in the middle of the trail out in the open as we approached.  We spooked up a couple turkeys as well. One deer scared the bajesus out of us as it was laying under a tree and didn't notice it until we were right on top of it and it took off.  My first thought was BEAR..stop drop and roll.. no wait.. run.. no that's not right either... oh ya play dead.  What a relief when I seen the white tail leap off into the thick brush and trees. Whewwww!! 

The bugs were aweful today, looking forward to fall.  Hopefully we can get out there more then. Keeping fingers crossed.
