What drives ordinary people to venture into remote forests, armed with plaster casts and thermal cameras, searching for a creature that science says doesn't exist?

BIGFOOT: Researcher's Notes takes you behind the scenes of one of humanity's most enduring mysteries, revealing the fascinating world of those who investigate the unexplained. This isn't just another collection of spooky stories—it's your guide to understanding how modern cryptozoology actually works, who's doing the research, and why their methods matter.

From PhD anthropologists applying rigorous scientific protocols to weekend enthusiasts documenting footprints in remote wilderness, you'll meet the diverse community of investigators who approach Bigfoot research with everything from laboratory precision to passionate fieldwork. Discover how folklorists preserve ancient stories, skeptics challenge dubious claims, and international researchers compare notes on similar creatures worldwide—from the Himalayan Yeti to Australia's Yowie.

What You'll Discover:

Master the Art of Evidence Evaluation—Learn to distinguish between compelling evidence and clever hoaxes, understanding what scientists actually look for when analyzing footprint casts, DNA samples, and mysterious audio recordings.

Explore Cutting-Edge Research Methods— See how drones, thermal imaging, AI pattern recognition, and environmental DNA sampling are revolutionizing the search for cryptids, while understanding both their promise and limitations.

Navigate the Science vs. Pseudoscience Divide— Understand why mainstream science remains skeptical, what it would take to change scientific minds, and how to apply critical thinking to extraordinary claims.

Think Like an Investigator—Develop practical skills for evaluating eyewitness testimony, recognizing logical fallacies, and avoiding confirmation bias in your own analysis of mysterious phenomena.

Appreciate Global Perspectives—Journey from North American forests to Himalayan peaks, discovering how different cultures interpret similar mysterious encounters and what their varied approaches teach us.

Written by Joe Alvin Haun, P.E., M.S.E., a professional engineer with a Master of Science degree in engineering and a cryptid researcher who bridges scientific rigor with respect for folklore and community narratives, this book offers a balanced exploration that neither dismisses nor uncritically accepts claims about Bigfoot's existence. Instead, it empowers you to engage thoughtfully with the evidence, understand the motivations of different researcher types, and appreciate why these mysteries continue to captivate us.

Whether you're a curious skeptic, an aspiring field researcher, or simply someone fascinated by how humans grapple with the unknown, BIGFOOT: Research's Notes provides the intellectual tools to navigate one of our most intriguing cultural phenomena with both wonder and wisdom.
