Bigfoot are thought to be shy, nomadic creatures that live in small family groups across North America. But are there really mysterious, seldom seen humanoids in our forests?

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.
