Is anyone doing real scientific research into the phenomenon of Sasquatch and/or Bigfoot? Has anyone done so in the past?
Yes, but we must extensively qualify this affirmative response. A short taxomomy of Bigfoot researchers follows. Someone once said, that the search for Bigfoot is a “holy quest conducted by unholy men.” “Most of the Bigfooters begin by gathering all the information they can find, then rejecting those reports or references they deem groundless or unsupportive of their biases. A few of the major players apply certain standards to weed out more vacuous or obviously fatuous data. Others build great middens of material…” [Robert Michael Pyle, Where Bigfoot Walks, pp 187 – Houghton Mifflin 1995] Youngsters such as myself, consider the “early horsemen” seeking to resolve the origin of the Bigfoot phenomenon as: Peter Byrne, John Green, René Dahinden, Ivan Sanderson, Tom Slick, Bernard Huevelmens, Dr. Grover Krantz, Ivan Marx, Ray Wallace, Bob Gimlin, Jerry Crew, and Bob Titmus. These are the men who began pioneering efforts in the 1950s, many of whom have persisted until the present day. Ho
