THE CRYPTID CORNER
Bigfoot
A closer look at one of the galaxy’s favorite forest mysteries.
The shape between the trees
Bigfoot stories turn on what a witness could see and what they had to guess. A brief glimpse, a track, and a sound in the woods tell different kinds of stories.
What to put in your field notes
- Start with the time, terrain, weather, and light.
- Describe what you saw or heard before giving it a name.
- For a photograph of a track, show its scale and where it was found.
- Leave room for other explanations and stay on permitted trails.
