Cliff Barackman's Database of Bigfoot Casts

Cliff Barackman (pronounce bare-eck-men) has been doing Sasquatch field research for more than 15 years. Like Bruce Wayne with his utility belt, Cliff has multiple technologies and methods at his disposal. In order to gather evidence, he leverages the use of gadgets capable of night vision, thermal imaging, remote control and digital sound recording.

No stranger to media, Cliff has appeared on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, the History Channel's Monsterquest, numerous podcast radio shows, and as a guest bigfoot “expert” on several local news channels from the Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. Recently Cliff took Bob Saget Saquatchin' in Washington. We covered it here.



Additionally, he has managed to gather one of the largest collections of footprint casts on the west coast and he has showcased the best ones on his website.



The beauty of Cliff's cast/print database is the detail. Every cast is against an inch grid background, each picture can be zoomed with incredible definition.

By clicking on each cast, all the major data points are listed; Year, Month, Date, State, County, Location, Discoverer, Caster, Length, Ball Width, Heel Width, Stride, and Depth. Like a Ginsu Knife Commercial--There's More! All these details are paired with must-read narrative. Each cast has a story and Cliff tells it with rich fascination.

There's nothing like this on the web, not with the same care and presentation. Go check it out.

Yeti and Bigfoot Can Be Crafty

A post for you DIY creative types. We believe Bigfoot is more than an undiscovered north-american ape. Bigfoot is also a muse, inspiring artists, writers and musicians alike.

Dont believe us? Then how do you explain June Gilbank? She is a self-described crochet pattern designer, writer, blogger, and multi-crafter. She has designed over 60 amigurumi-style crochet patterns, and her specialties are cute and realistic animals, plants, and seasonal crochet designs. My designs bring together my loves of crochet, technical writing and cuteness.

We know what your saying, "Of course she has a cat!"

She specializes in a very unique style called Amigurumi and she has created to Amigurami versions of Yeti and Sasquatch.

Ucu Added to "AKA Bigfoot World Map"

According to cryptozoo-oscity.blogspot.com:

The Ucu, also known as Ucumar or Ukumar-zupai, is Bigfoot type creature reported as being seen in the Andes range of mountains in South America particularly in Chile and Argentina. The Ucu is said to be the size of a large dog and walks erect. Unlike the Yeti it prefers the more tropical regions of the Andes mountain range, rather than snow covered peaks. The locals say the Ucu likes to eat payo, a plant similar to cabbage, and emits a sound like uhu, uhu. It is not just locals who have reported hearing or seeing the creatures.

For three consecutive years starting in 1957 there were several documented cases describing a mysterious creature described with features and behaviors all too familiar to us Bigfooters.
