Shown here are artistic creations of the five primary homins in the field of Hominology. Much has been documented on the first four (sasquatch, yeti, Russian snowman, yowie) and they have many similarities. The last (yeren) does not appear to be as closely related and there is less information on this homin; but steadily increasing. They each have their own region in the world and have many different names within their specific regions, which can cause confusion. Please keep this in mind when reading material in books, magazines, newspapers and on the Internet. SASQUATCH CANADA includes all of these homins in papers and presentations because it is believed they are related in all, most or some respects.

​Sasquatch Discovered is the biography of Dr. John Bindernagel – Canada’s foremost sasquatch/bigfoot investigator. His intense childhood curiosity about the natural world, with a particular interest in ornithology, led to his involvement as a Junior Naturalist and his teacher dubbing him “the scientist” for his in-class contributions. By high-school, he was practicing good curatorial habits as he collected specimens for the museum he created in the family home.

While in university, he was intrigued by the story of an “ape-man” in British Columbia. During his time in Africa, he became familiar with the great apes and hypothesized the Sasquatch as North America’s great ape. On return to Canada, he chose to live in the Comox Valley, on Vancouver Island, B.C., and closer to the west coast rainforests– prime Sasquatch habitat. Here he aimed to study and pursue research on this elusive animal.

John Bindernagel was the author of two seminal books, a popular conference speaker throughout North America, and the Canadian news media “go-to guy” for Sasquatch information. He was beloved by eyewitnesses and amateur investigators alike but largely dismissed by the scientific community. This book is a tribute to an upstanding man who followed his call and his passion at great personal and professional expense. He spent his last years championing the unfolding story of the discovery of the Sasquatch. This is his life’s story.

IMPORTANT NEW FEATURE​

BRITISH COLUMBIA SASQUATCH RELATED INCIDENTS - INTERACTIVE CHART
​

The British Columbia chart for sasquatch-related
incidents created by Kerry Clausen-Kilmury HAS
NOW BEEN MADE INTERACTIVE. After going to
the link, you can click on a balloon and the
incident details will come up.

Notwithstanding a few very early reports the 605
incidents shown span about 118 years.
I have determined that only about 20% of
sasquatch-related incidents are reported. This
implies that the total of both reported and
nonreported incidents would be 3,025 for the time
period.
​
Even if some (or a lot) of incidents might be
questionable, there are definitely too many to
ignore—something that looks like a sasquatch
appears to be in British Columbia.

NOT A YETI?
​John Napier, Lawrence Swan, and the Footprint that made Shipton Famous
​
 

Gene Baade obtained some private letters between Dr. John Napier and Dr. Lawrence Swan regarding information pertaining to yeti research. Napier was researching material for his book, Bigfoot, and this led into a wonderful exchange of knowledge, photographs, and drawings on the yeti. Gene has prepared a detailed paper on the findings, which is presented here. Some of this material has not been previously published, so we are very pleased to provide everything for your reading enjoyment. ​

​      When Art Imitates Life 

​                          by Gene Baade 

This is a special presentation delivered by Gene Baade at the sasquatch exhibit speakers’ forum, Lacey, Washington, May 31, 2019. 
   Gene, an ordained Lutheran minister, has researched hominoids depicted in medieval artwork and provides remarkable insights on the place of homins in the minds and possibly lives of ancient people. 
   Did relict hominoids exist alongside modern humans? Gene explores this intriguing question with astounding images.

The Koffmann Archaeologia Articles
​

Two consecutive articles titled “Relic Humanoids in Antiquity” by Marie-Jeanne Koffmann published in the French magazine Archaeologia (1994 and 1995) stand out as perhaps her most famous contributions in the field of hominology. Marie-Jeanne, seen here, turns 100 years old in July 2019. The articles were recently translated to English and we are pleased to present them here. The depth of her research is truly astounding.

​Koffmann – Greenwell Interview
​

​In 1993 Richard Greenwell of the International Society of Cryptozoology interviewed Dr. Marie-Jeanne Koffmann on the almasty and an article was published in the BBC Wildlife magazine. The article, provided here, is the most astounding record of almasty reality every published in a nature magazine. It was brought to my attention by Dmitri Bayanov and provided to me by German Kurtov, both in Russia. This is an absolute “must read” article—a classic in the annals of hominology.

      The Burtsev Hominology Papers

Dr. Igor Burtsev (b. 1940) commenced his study of hominology in Russia in 1965. He finished his education in 1977, graduating as a Candidate of History (equivalent to the North American PhD). During this time and to the present, he has traveled extensively in Russia and the United States researching the Russian snowman and the sasquatch or bigfoot. In 1972, he and Dmitri Bayanov were the first to thoroughly analyze the Patterson and Gimlin film, which they declared shows a natural hominoid being. Dr. Burtsev has written many articles on hominology and is currently working on a comprehensive book on his findings. He has agreed to allow Chris Murphy to edit and format the papers, which will comprise his book, and post the papers to the Sasquatch Canada website. You will find Igor’s material both fascinating and an important indicator of hominoid reality in Russia and North America. The papers will be posted as finalized.

Dr. John Bindernagel’s Epic Paper
​on Homin Reality


Since the sasquatch and other homins sparked the interest of professionals in the 1960s, the greatest proponent of sasquatch reality was Dr. John Bindernagel (died January 2018). He wrote two books pro-claiming that the evidence he collected over decades confirmed this homin’s reality. He also studied the Russian Snowman and again attested to its existence.
  In 2011 he attended a conference on Hominology in Russia. He delivered likely the most profound paper on his life’s work and discoveries. With the assistance of Dmitri Bayanov and Igor Burtsev I am pleased to present this paper on the Sasquatch Canada website.
  I urge all to intently study this paper; especially scientists because John was one of their own.

MURPHY-HANCOCK HOMINOLOGY
​PHOTO LIBRARY

About 12 years ago Chris Murphy and David Hancock teamed up to create a photo library. We have numerous images of interest to book authors, magazines, newspapers, and television producers. Our collection is provided here on contact sheets (just enlarge for a better view). The images are in separate categories (Footprints in Sand/Soil, Footprint Casts, Hand Prints and Casts, Native Art and so forth. They are separated by a marker. If you are interested in using an image, please contact Chris (cmurphy101@shaw) for the cost and other details.
Picture
​NOTE: You are welcome to just browse the images for interest. They provide a glimpse into the history of hominology. There are many images that need to be added; which will be done continuously, so visit now and then and have a look.

​Is A Greater Paradigm Shift Thinkable?

​This article by Dmitri Bayanov addresses the continuing and difficult issue of the relationship between conventional science and what is termed the “paranormal” in sasquatch research.

Many people, including credible researchers, have claimed unusual experiences (could not be explained) associated with sasquatch-related incidents.

​At this time, there is a significant division between what might be called the “conventional camp” and “paranormal camp” on the sasquatch issue. It is reasoned that some common ground needs to be determined for the benefit of research in this entire arena. 
Picture
Picture

This is an unusual presentation. Neither the bowhunter who provided the image nor I claim that the entity shown is a sasquatch. It definitely appears to be something strange and a professional analysis will be underway shortly.

The bowhunter’s reaction to my analysis was, “That’s creepy” and I have to agree. Nevertheless, there are no confirmed reports of North American “homins,” (whatever they might be) attacking people; they simply walk or run away when they are seen. One has far more reasons to fear bears.
​
Everything currently known is presented. I have some ideas that might provide further insights and will post them as we move forward. I will provide the professional analysis immediately it is available.

The Making of Hominology  

                                          REVISED ENTRY 
​

​This rather epic work will soon be in print. It has been featured here as an ebook for over a year. Hancock House Publishers will publish the book and the details on contents are provided in the BOOK RELEASE NOTIFICATION linked below.

I have previously explained how the book came about, and now wish to make it clear that the purpose of the book is to get more scientific involvement in hominology (the study of human-like hominoids). We wish to have hominology recognized as a valid scientific discipline. It is only in this way that scientists will be comfortable getting involved in research.

Although the sasquatch or bigfoot is the main homin, and that for which we have the most evidence, there are others and hominology covers all of them. This is not another book about sasquatch or bigfoot; it is about the need to move this homin and other homins fully into the realm of science.

Remarkable Trackway 
Investigated and photographed
by Paul Graves


Hundreds of large human-like footprints in snow were discovered in February 2017 near Sunnyslope, Washington State. They were brought to the attention of veteran sasquatch researcher Paul
Graves who meticulously investigated all aspects of the finding and took numerous photographs. 

He provided a first-hand detailed report for posting on this website. We are very pleased to feature his remarkable work.
Paul’s report leaves little or no doubt that a bipedal being with
natural feet walked for over a mile in a snowfield and through residential yards.
​
Paul is convinced that the being was a sasquatch and provides
highly convincing evidence in this connection.

MOST WIDELY PUBLISHED MAGAZINE ARTICLE ON THE
SASQUATCH SINCE THE PATTERSON/GIMLIN FILM

​

Picture
A major article on the sasquatch written by Chris Murphy with the assistance of Dr. Jeff Meldrum and Todd Prescott was featured in the September/October 2013 issue of The Backwoodsman magazine. The article "Do Sasquatch Really Exist?" provides current information on the evidence we have as to the creature's existence.

Charlie Richie Jr., the Associate Publisher, asked Chris for the article as a result of inquiries about the sasquatch from magazine subscribers. Charlie wanted a summary of what we presently know about the creature so Chris provided the article. As the name implies, the magazine caters to outdoors people and is an excellent resource in all aspects of wilderness
activities.

2017 MARKS THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PATTERSON/GIMLIN FILM​

Picture
Picture
October 20, 2017 marks the 50th Anniversary of the
filming of a sasquatch/bigfoot by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. Conferences or other events during the year will certainly highlight the anniversary.

A presentation created by Chris Murphy and Todd
Prescott on the film is being provided here to both
celebrate the anniversary and assist anyone in
providing talks or write-ups on this remarkable filming accomplishment.

Whatever one’s opinion on the film, there can be no 
doubt that 50 years is a long time for something of this nature to defy even the most detailed scientific analysis as to the reality of the subject filmed.

               HAPPY ANNIVERSARY P/G FILM!

PAPERS BY DMITRI BAYANOV ON THE OCCASION
OF THE P/G FILM ANNIVERSARY
Picture
Picture

​In 1994 Peter Byrne commissioned a scientific evaluation of the Patterson/Gimlin film by Jeff Glickman, a noted forensic scientist. Given the analysis was favorable as to the reality of the bigfoot filmed, the original plan was to distribute the report free of charge to universities worldwide. The report was provided in 1998 and was favorable, but the plan was changed to having it published in a scientific journal. Unfortunately, such could not be found. With the passing of time, the final alternative was to publish the report is a book for general marketing with full coverage of the filming and including all the clearest film frames. A book was created by Chris Murphy, but due to restraints was not published. Nevertheless, the restraints did not forbid the publishing of the report itself (exactly as provided). For marketing reasons this option was not practical. The pdf of the report provided here is the full color version intended for publishing. It may be printed for personal use but must not be used in a commercial publication or sold.

: The North American Science Institute (NASI) is now defunct.

Roger Patterson’s Second Book​

Although publication was highly limited, Roger Patterson did write another book after he and Bob Gimlin filmed a bigfoot at Bluff Creek in 1967. It was written the
following year and is highly interesting because we get an appreciation of how Roger felt about the sasquatch/bigfoot issue at a time when his interest and
enthusiasm were at their peak. Next year being the 50th Anniversary of the P/G film, it was thought appropriated to provide a synopsis of the book—what he personally wrote, and the most important information he provided. It is well-worth a read, especially from the standpoint of
how scientists have now effectively abandoned the subject. You will be left with the question, how could so much be ignored?

​Sasquatch 360 and Other Insights

We cannot always get what we want, but we can do things that will show us what we want. This presentation explores the bigfoot filmed by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in 1967. Igor Burtsev’s remarkable statue based on Frame 352 of the P/G film is provided at 12 different angles so we can visualize
how the bigfoot would have appeared given she could have been filmed along 360 degrees. The relative height and mass of the subject is also discussed as it compares to about a 6-foot tall man and Roger Patterson himself.

What is the Nature of “Sasquatch?”
​by Christopher L. Murphy

Many people are unaware that the sasquatch/bigfoot issue is more complex than what is commonly known. Science, as it were, is reluctant to consider the issue with just a single homin (besides the wild man) in the equation. Even avid researchers stray away from the information provided in this presentation. In some ways, such researchers do exactly what they criticize “science”
as doing—creating a preconceived notion and disregarding anything that does not “fit in the box.”
With my book
Know the Sasquatch
, I pushed the
envelope to include two of the lesser-known North
American homins (given the almasty is one). I now
present them all (in concert with work done by Loren
Coleman, Patrick Huyghe, and David Paulides). In
addition, I explore the specific nature of what we believe is the “true sasquatch.”
Picture

The Sasquatch “Puzzle”
Christopher L. Murphy

The sasquatch/bigfoot homins have been in non-Native
North American culture for about 200 years. They have
been in Native culture for probably thousands of years.
Native people (from my experience) have absolutely no
problem with the fact that we don’t have firm proof of the
being’s reality. They accept it “as it is.” I have been told
with sincerity by a somewhat authoritative Chehalis
Native, Kelsey Charlie (who says he has seen a
sasquatch mother and offspring) that, “You will never
catch a sasquatch.”
A CTV First Story documentary entitled Sasquatch
and Bloodlines
released in 2005 featured Kelsey and
me. My discussion with Kelsey at the time left a lasting impression. I reasoned years ago that we are “missing
something” in our quest to find this homin—like a
missing piece in a puzzle. I don’t know what it is; all I
can do is look at our “situation” and analyze the reasons
we have failed to obtain the proof we need. As to
Kelsey’s statement, all I can say is that he is right so far
and leave it to the reader to sort out
.

Best Yet Sasquatch Exhibit!

In 2014 Chris Murphy’s sasquatch exhibit
traveled to the Yakima Valley Museum in
Washington State. The display museum curator
Andy Granitto and his staff provided was
beyond astounding. Also, the exhibit location
was very appropriate as both Roger Patterson
and Bob Gimlin are from Yakima County. A
local television news producer created a short
video of the exhibit with Andy providing a
commentary. They did a very good job. The
video takes one through the exhibit with
various artifacts discussed.

This exhibit followed previous exhibits in
Vancouver BC; Pocatello, Idaho; Yale, BC; and
The Dalles, Oregon. It then went to Hoquiam,
Washington and is currently scheduled for
display in a major Eastern US city. Full
information on this exhibit will be provided
soon.
​
The Yakima Valley Museum video is provided
here. Please take the time to have a look at
probably the largest sasquatch/bigfoot
collection yet assembled.

Murphy’s Sasquatch Summit
Presentation

The Sasquatch Summit at Harrison Hot Springs
in 2011 brought together the seven main
sasquatch/bigfoot researchers/authors shown
here (Left to Right): Loren Coleman, Dr. John
Bindernagel, Thomas Steenburg, Dr. Jeff
Meldrum, John Green, Igor Burtsev and Chris
Murphy. All gave excellent talks.
Chris spoke on a number of subjects, which
were the most controversial and troublesome in
the recent history of sasquatch investigations.
His discussion on the Patterson/Gimlin film site
might need updating due to recent findings, but
there are still some questions.
A video of Chris’ presentation is provided here. It
is quite long, so it’s a case of sitting back and
letting it roll.
Thomas Yamarone organized and held the
Summit to honor John Green and his significant
contributions to the field of hominology. The
attendance at this event was amazing; many
highly renown researchers and well-known
people in the field were there along with
Harrison dignitaries, John’s family and close
friends. Sadly, John passed away about 5 years
later at age 89. He will be long-remembered.
We hope you enjoy the video.

                            SASQUATCH FOOD
                            WILD VEGETATION


​
With so many sasquatch sightings and observations as to food, we can now start to look at how the beings sustain themselves in the wild (where most of them exist). Animals that they kill for food are essentially obvious (same as other predators).

We have enough information to categorically state that sasquatch are omnivorous (eats meat and vegetables) exactly the same as humans.

Of course, there are many cases where sasquatch raid farms or gardens in rural areas and steal domestic food, but that only
applies to the few that venture into such areas.

Here is a look at what we know about wild vegetation that forms a part of sasquatch diet.
Picture
Picture
Do Toes Tell a Tale?
​
The main physical evidence we have for sasquatch reality is footprint casts. Much work has been done by scientists on the numerous casts provided and we have an excellent scientific concept of the foot that makes the
prints. Indeed, “science” acknowledges that the prints are made by some sort of primate. The main question is, what kind of primate?

Remarkably, human toes and sasquatch toes have something else in common beside functionality—they fall into at least three of the same classifications or categories.

This presentation provides some insights, which might be considered in thinking about sasquatch “nature.”
Picture
Picture

Sasquatch Quantification


​The relationship between a sasquatch, human, and a great ape (such as the gorilla) cannot be established until we can obtain confirmed sasquatch DNA. Even then, science will not be satisfied until a type specimen in “put on the table.” Nevertheless, we can take what we have and apply a little arithmetic and logic to arrive at what we might expect. This analysis surprised me somewhat; I was expecting something very different. Indeed, it could be that our scientists and John Green just might be right as to sasquatch nature. This still does not justify intentionally killing one for “science,” but moves things a little that way. Whatever the case, my conclusions are just a few more “sign posts” along the way; there are a multitude of other considerations. 
Picture
Picture
Sasquatch Probabilities

​The question of what a sasquatch truly looks like continues to evade us. The Patterson/Gimlin film shed a little light, but details are greatly lacking. The images in this film are still the best we have. Witness descriptions and rough sketches have to be used to “fill in the blanks,” but differences and uncertainties still leave us guessing on many aspects. In this paper I present a sculpture I recently created, which attempts to apply more logic in determining sasquatch facial features. All aspects are discussed providing the reasons for the size, shape and color of the features. I am sure there will be considerable disagreement, but that “goes with the territory.” I have simply done my best with what we have.

Sasquatch Hands - Possible Insights
​A Non-Scientific Discussion
 

​

​From what we know, sasquatch hands are both human-like and great ape-like, but with one major exception: sasquatch thumbs are not opposable. From an artistic standpoint, sasquatch hands might appear as the sculpture/model image provided here. In this paper, I explore the information we have on sasquatch hands as to probable size, configuration and sasquatch stature. Remarkably, three casts referenced and a witness drawing support conclusions.

Sasquatch Scorecard
Absolutely Not Scientific
​

From the moment the Patterson and Gimlin film was first screened in 1967, the question of whether the “creature” seen was ape, human, or in between has raged. Scientists at the time generally dismissed the film so the question was hardly professionally entertained then and indeed to this time. There was, of course, much more evidence for sasquatch existence in 1967 than just the film; however, such evidence (even if known by the scientists) would not have been considered because it was not directly related to the film. In the past 50 years much more information on the film has been determined and other evidence and testimony now fills numerous books and websites. This has prompted me to go back to the question stated above and give it more thought. This paper is an attempt to address that question in a systematic way. This is not science; I have provided a simple business process that is used in multiple decision situations.

​The North American Almasty
​
On a clear day the vast expanse of Russia can be seen from Alaska. At one time, the two continents were connected; they are now separated by a narrow strait. It is very likely that homins in Russia migrated to North America and settled in the far
North, which would not have differed significantly from their homeland.

Sightings and stories of unusual homins in Alaska (called “woodsmen”) have persisted for perhaps hundreds of years. They are definitely not sasquatch or bigfoot. It is reasonable to assume they are almasty. This presentation explores that
concept.
Picture

​Photo Complications - Is there a Mystery?

​

​Sometimes the passage of time raises more questions than fewer. Naturally, the P/G film has been subject to extreme scrutiny and all the journalists, would-be journalists, and others form opinions. From there everything drifts into books and onto websites.

Eventually, everything gets checked, but by this time it’s too late to change what is in print and if those with websites don’t stay up-to-date, things stay as they are.

The complications that arose with the images seen here have been addressed, but not together and not as thoroughly as I am now presenting. I don’t think this will be the “last word” on this subject, but it’s a step toward that end.
​

Picture

Been There; Done That

​
When images (Cibachromes) from the P/G film became available to me, I naturally wanted to see if more details could be observed by magnification with a magnifying glass. I graduated to photographic enlargements and then to scanning when I obtained a scanner. I was eventually informed of “maximum credible detail available” in the images, so ceased this research. Nevertheless, along the way I did something that was totally inadvertent and “unscientific,” but produced what I thought were better images. According to the mathematics, details I could see were not there, despite being in the right place. I still wonder if they and other oddities observed are in fact there. Whatever the case, here is the story.

​Beyond the Lens – P/G Film
​

​
The Patterson/Gimlin film tells a story that goes far beyond what the camera lens saw. The critical eye of scientists and skeptics
would not know that story because it depends on circumstances and general “non-scientific” knowledge.

One can look at a photograph and certainly tell you what is seen, but he or she cannot tell you about its circumstances (why the subject is there, where it came from, when it got there and so forth). That information is not known unless it is determined by research.

Furthermore, one’s opinion on something is limited to how much can be seen of the subject. One image certainly says 
something, but ten images can provide an entirely different impression.

This presentation attempts to explore these issues and offers a possible explanation for our current predicament in getting scientific recognition of sasquatch/bigfoot evidence.

​In 2006, I did an overhead projector presentation (on video) at a conference in Vancouver, BC (UBC I believe). I still had some artifacts loaned to me from my Vancouver Museum exhibit in 2004 and had displayed them.

The presentation was called “Between the Lines.” I presented images of artifacts provided in the exhibit and explained various aspects that were transparent to visitors (what, when, where, how sort of thing).

I also went off on a few tangents and explained things in other directions. Everything is essentially the same, although there are a few things I might now change 12 years later.

This is a very long-winded presentation, so be prepared. It’s intended for very dedicated researchers.

Sasquatch Cinderellas

Chris Murphy (who is also a philatelist) produced what are called Cinderella Stamps (not valid for
postage) depicting sasquatch/bigfoot casts and other related artifacts. Chris has spent over 20 years
researching sasquatch/bigfoot and has curated seven public museum exhibits on the subject. During
this time, he photographed numerous artifacts and has selected the best images for depiction on
stamp sheets, which are provided for display in museum exhibits.

Shown on this first sheet (left) are the most notable footprint casts. Shown on the second sheet are
the most notable artifacts besides footprint casts.

Stamps of this nature (Cinderellas) have been produced almost since postage stamps were invented
in 1840. They were used for political purposes, commemorations and advertising. They quickly
became collectables and thus many have survived in stamp collections. The value of some issues is
extremely high. 
​
An explanation for each stamp is provided in the linked presentation. Stamp sheets are no longer
sold on-line, but may be available at museum exhibits (gift shop item).

Water Under the Bridge; But
Water Nonetheless


​The passage of time is usually the only way in which it is revealed what really happened and where we went wrong on various issues. Little bits and pieces slowly emerge and things
we just did not know in the past enter the equation and make sense of troubling situations.

The sasquatch/bigfoot issue is a mass of information and missinformation, made all the worse by those who “jump in,” make a mess of things, and then disappear into the woodwork.

What is presented in this paper attempts to make sense of what
happened since 1993 and why we are where we are. It is from a
personal perspective, but I was there all the time, not bouncing around from pillar to post taking potshots.

​​Although we have come a long way in our quest to get proper attention to the sasquatch/bigfoot issue by the scientific community, we have not gone far enough. 

At this point in time, it is important to look back at where we have been and then look at the road ahead. 

This presentation explores the past on a “first hand” basis for 24 years and attempts to evaluate the entire issue and offer a plan for going forward. 

We are all familiar with the expression, "Those who do
not learn history are doomed to repeat it." The “modern” history of the sasquatch/bigfoot issue goes back about 60 years, and we are not “learning” as much as we should. 

Advances in technology have certainly helped in our research, but such has its downside. Perhaps we need to “go back to basics."

Chris Murphy and Thomas Steenburg have teamed up again to update their epic book Sasquatch in British Columbia on line. Since the book was published in 2012, there have been more sasquatch-related reports and other noteworthy events. This material will be posted in this section in the same format as that provided in their book. Furthermore, as new incidents are reported and investigated they will be added. Thomas Steenburg is the primary field researcher in British Columbia. His investigative techniques are very thorough, so you can count on more excellent and credible reports. Click on the DATE/INCIDENT line to see the full report.
