Often, witnesses take some time before they discuss their experiences or report them to any organization. Days, weeks, or months pass before they share what they saw or heard.

But, once in awhile, the phone rings and you hear a befuddled voice explaining what he heard outside his cabin minutes earlier. “What does Bigfoot sound like?” asks the caller. “I think I might’ve just heard one.”

Hairy, bipedal creatures haunt the backcountry of our world. Science dismisses them as specters of our imaginations, while many who believe in their existence brush them off as just big, dumb agpes. Certainly, they lack the attributes we associate with sentient life: self-awareness, language, culture, burial customs, art, and music.

But we can really claim to own the copyright to those behaviors? How smart are Bigfoots? Animals possess keen intelligence, the ability to make crude tools, and emotions akin to human feelings. We can learn a great deal about Bigfoot intelligence by examining the intellect of animals.

Angela and a female friend had spent all day at the hospital where Angela’s daughter had undergone surgery. When visiting hours ended at 9 PM, the two women set off for home. Little did they know their routine journey would turn into a truly bizarre encounter with a hairy hominid.

What information can we glean from modern sightings about the intelligence of hairy hominids?

Hairy hominids often watch humans from a distance. They peek out from behind trees or brush, or peer through windows of cars or homes at startled witnesses. In 1953, a man fishing alone near Portland, Oregon—his two companions were nearby but out of view—spotted a hairy hominid hiding in the thickets watching him. His account appeared in the local newspaper. In his book Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us, John Green recounts two stories from the 1960s that involve peeping hominids. Around 1964, Glen Varner observed a hairy hominid staring through the window of his mother’s house at Priest Lake, Idaho. Then, in 1966, a married couple living near Lower Bank, New Jersey, were startled by a Bigfoot peeking in their window; they later left food out for the creature, who took it.

The more you study the Bigfoot phenomenon, the more you bump into events and circumstances that warp the boundaries we’ve established. UFOs, missing time, disappearing Bigfoots…none of these jive with the just-an-ape theory. But one seemingly innocuous phenomenon has incited more debate than one would expect.

Witnesses who claim repeated encounters with Bigfoots.

I’ve heard various labels attached to these witnesses. On her website, Autumn Williams calls them long-term witnesses. Loren Coleman calls them Bigfoot contactees (a reference to the UFO contactee movement of the 1950s & 1960s). Why can’t we simply call them witnesses?

Women get used to no one taking us seriously. Strong men are macho; strong women are witches (or the word that rhymes with it).

Bigfoot research is no different. The big, manly Bigfoot hunters go out in the wilderness while the womenfolk stay home. Watch a documentary about Bigfoot and who do you see? Men. Browse Amazon.com for books about Bigfoot and who wrote 99% of them? Men. Listen to a radio program about Bigfoot and who do you hear? Men.
