How to Submit a Bigfoot Sighting Report on bigfootinfo.org

The Sasquatch Information Society (bigfootinfo.org) accepts sighting reports through a Submit a Report entry point on its homepage, alongside its Interactive Sightings Map, Evidence Library, Expeditions, and Encyclopedia sections. Published reports appear as entries with a location, a class (Class A or Class B), a date, and a short description — the same format used for the 85 mapped sightings currently shown on the site. If you want your account to join that map and the "5 Newest Sightings" feed, submit it in that same structured format.

What the site does with a report

The homepage presents the platform as a place to "Explore. Document. Research." Reports are not just archived — they feed three public surfaces:

• Interactive Sightings Map — 85 mapped sightings, with an "Open full map" link
• 5 Newest Sightings — a rotating list of the most recent submissions
• Evidence Library — photos, audio, video, and field evidence

Each published entry follows a consistent layout, as seen in the current listings:

Step-by-step: submitting your report

1. Go to the homepage at bigfootinfo.org and locate the Submit a Report link in the main call-to-action area ("Explore Sightings / Submit a Report / Evidence. Expeditions. Discovery.").
2. Enter the location. Use the most specific place name you can — the published examples range from a city and state ("atlanta, georgia") to a named locality ("Willow Creek, CA"). This is what places your report on the Interactive Sightings Map.
3. Set the date. Published entries use a YYYY-MM-DD format (for example, 2026-08-29 or 2005-04-10). Old sightings are accepted — the Berclair, Texas entry dates to 2005.
4. Choose a class. The site uses two visible categories:
   • Class A — a direct, close-range encounter, such as the Atlanta report describing "a ape like figure bending down."
   • Class B — indirect or secondary evidence, such as the Berclair entry describing a "newly constructed structure located on the side of a creek," or the California entries citing "unusual movement, vocalizations, or track evidence."
5. Write the description. Keep it factual and specific: what you saw, how far away, how long it lasted, and any sounds, tracks, or structures involved. The published examples are only one to three sentences.
6. Attach evidence if you have it. The Evidence Library accepts photos, audio, video, and field evidence, so include whatever supports the account.
7. Submit and check back. Approved reports appear in the "5 Newest Sightings" list and, once mapped, on the Interactive Sightings Map.

Choosing between Class A and Class B

The distinction matters because it tells readers how much weight to give the report:

• Use Class A when you personally observed the figure at close range with a clear view.
• Use Class B when your evidence is indirect — tracks, vocalizations, tree structures, distant movement, or a secondhand account.

If you are unsure, Class B is the safer classification; it does not overstate what you can support.

Common snags

• No expeditions are listed yet. The "Upcoming Expeditions" section currently reads "No expeditions have been published yet," so do not expect a field team to follow up on your report automatically.
• Vague locations weaken the map entry. A report tied only to "wooded terrain" is harder to place than one tied to a named town.
• Dates in the future appear in the sample data (the Atlanta entry is dated 2026-08-29). Enter the actual date of your sighting rather than copying the format blindly.
• The site is a community platform, not a verification body. Reports are published as submitted, so include enough detail for readers to judge the account themselves.

After you submit

Your report joins a body of material that also includes field notes and reference articles — topics on the site range from Skamania County's 1969 ordinance to tracking basics and Gigantopithecus blacki. Reading a few of those entries before you write can help you match the level of detail the community expects.
