                                                             Received reports are printed and are secured in a fire proof locked cabinet

                                                             The edited report is then copied to and saved as a new document

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.

All members of S O B TM pledge to take seriously your privacy and the confidentiality of the information provided. The S O B TM Board of Directors strictly enforces its Code of Ethics that each member pledges to abide by at the time of being accepted for membership.

If you choose to be contacted by an investigator, an investigator will contact you

A phone or video call between us is preferable, as it allows us to become familiar with one another

Future email communication is made using an unadvertised email account which will be relayed to you at the time of our conversation

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.


                                                                                  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?

Obvious

Human like footprints the proportions of which are distinctly non-human (wide ball, no arch, broad heel)
When a series of footprints are found, both the left and right foot are placed inline with one another, whereas, humans place their respective feet to the left or right of the preceding foot while walking naturally.
Objects are thrown at you in wilderness regions when/where no humans are likely
Sudden onset of a Foul smell
Sudden onset of intense feelings of nervousness or of being watched
Unusual sounding vocals akin to speech (such as gibberish or chattering)
While walking, hearing the tap(ping) or clack(ing) of rocks brought together or knock(ing) of wood against wood

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
Numerous dead rodents, showing no sign of predation strewn along human road and pathways

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.
