                                Allowing us to contact you is extremely important to achieving the goal of species recognition.
                                The total of reported experiences provides insights into their nature and ours.
                            No detail is inconsequential and all are used to refine investigative techniques.

OUR SERVICE STANDARD

We strive to maintain a service standard of no more than two weeks between your first having made contact and our reaching out to you.

During high volume periods, S O B TM prioritizes received reports in the following fashion:

Date of Event

Quality of Event – meaning – physical contact with the animal, sighting of, tracks/odor/vocalization, non-visual interaction with an animal, stick and rock formations. S O B TM further prioritizes within event classes, when applicable, those with reported recorded evidence.

Location of Event – meaning: proximity to available investigators.

At your request, an investigator will contact you.

                                        One thing that is surprising is the number of reports where Sasquatch are
                                        encountered within close proximity to large urban/heavily populated areas.

These may be chance encounters with a transitory individual making their way to an adjacent feeding site or as part of a seasonal migration. S O B members maintain a list of reports from/within Ontario. We watch these reports for clusters of activity and will travel onsite to investigate properties having a significant history of continual Sasquatch presence. The S O B group is focused primarily on locating and monitoring sites that indicate signs of activity as well as following up on reports within our jurisdiction.

                                 NO REPORT IS INSIGNIFICANT. IF YOU HAVE HAD AN UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE PLEASE CONTACT US.
                                         WE ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN RECEIVING REPORTS REGARDING SIGNS OF SASQUATCH ACTIVITY.

If you come across suspected stick structures, successive tree breaks , unusual animal kills or experience hearing unusual animal calls or tree knocking in rural wilderness areas we would also be interested in hearing about such activity. Please use the form above or you can simply email us at seekingontariosbigfoot@gmail.com. There are many online examples of Sasquatch tree structures. The following link has many examples of typical structures https://sasquatchinvestigations.org/bigfoot-evidence/sasquatch-tree-stuctures/


                                                                     SIGNS OF POSSIBLE BIGFOOT PRESENCE:

Please see below a non-exhaustive list of common signs suggestive of Bigfoot's presence in a particular area. The greater the number of indicators the more probable their presence, current and past.

                                                                                                 BE SKEPTICAL!

Ask and answer for yourself, how probable are the signs listed below which you may have experienced are also as likely
to have been produced by other humans?

                                                                                                     Footprints

      Human foot has an arch
      Human big toe can be significantly bigger than other toes

       Human foot is 2 & 1/2 times as long as it is wide.
        Note the picture's human toe angle and hump, compared to Bigfoot's smooth arc.
        Humans may make barefoot prints on mud and sand maybe, but very few Canadians walk barefoot in snow.

                                                                                      Trackways   - Walking only:

         Human tracks average 2.5 feet, males 2.6 feet , sometimes slightly more for longer legs.
         Female humans may average 2.2 to 2.5 feet apart.
         Bigfoot tracks are about 5 feet apart
         Bf tracks are usually in a straight line.

                                                                                                        Obvious

Human like footprints the proportions of which are distinctly non-human (wide ball, no arch, broad heel)

Sudden onset of a Foul smell
Sudden onset of intense feelings of nervousness or of being watched

Subtle

Sudden onset of total silence
Heavy trees stuffed into other trees, often of a different species with the root ball pointed skyward
Trees or branches which are broken and twisted beyond human ability, such that a mechanical means would need to be applied
Twisted tree breaks are usually accompanied by similar breaks along its line of orientation in both directions
Teepee like, A-frame, or blind type structures of various dimensions and diameter of wood, often near human and game trails
Structures may possess human refuse and no sign of a fire or cigarettes
Other wood formations such as tri-pods of various dimensions and diameter of wood, obviously assembled, the bases of one or more which are jammed into the earth, no root
Corridors within the forest, such that no branches to heights of 10 ft. penetrate it and the ground is generally clear of obstacles
Deeper sounding wolf-like howls at night
The sounding of whoops, akin to ranchers herding cattle, absent the calls of cattle
Dogs, horses, deer act scared or upset, agitated or staring into forest in a particular direction or specific time of day
Loud, bang or banging/knock(ing) on a building's wall
Missing food items from outdoor freezers, missing feed-stock from covered bins, livestock coops, such that the latch was used, fruit trees to heights of 10 feet stripped, usually from the side nearest to forest or other concealment
Corn or other crops methodically stripped, usually in areas adjacent to forests or other concealment
Bedding areas composed of materials brought from elsewhere
Animal skeletons displaying broken necks, large bone(s) snapped in half, no chew marks
Recently dead deer and other ungulates with broken necks with the belly torn open, as if by hand, organs missing

Since the fall of 2016, the majority of the signs listed above have been experienced by S O B TM members in Southern Ontario

If you, upon reflection, recall experiencing any of the obvious signs or a series of subtle ones, we encourage you to share your experience(s) with us.
