Bigfoot Statue Quiz
Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 2nd, 2007
Coming in the April 2007 issue of TAPS Paramagazine are two contributions by me on the importance of Bigfoot statues across North America, with a listing of some of the highlights awaiting you out there.
The spread is illustrated with some great photographs by Tom Yamarone. Below are three of the more famous selections. Can you name where these statues are located?
Can you name other statues of Sasquatch in other places? Of Lake Monsters? Of other roadside attraction cryptids?

All three are in California. Last one is outside Cresent City, middle one is at Willow Creek and the first one is at one of the roadside shops traveling inbetween.
An east coast one for you up in Houlton, Maine. J. Carr’s Bigfoot sculpture’s (though not sure if still there or not).

One more for the list:
Mothman from Point Pleasant, WV
And if you drive through Port Henry, NY, look for the Champ cart by the town hall.
Craig Heinselman
Peterborough, NH
I always thought #1 was in an area with relatively few sightings, and then there was that flap around Orrick several years ago.
More:
The Bigfoot Lounge, Polk & Washington, San Francisco. About 7′ tall, Patterson film-like in appearance, except it’s a male. One of the best I’ve seen.
Mill Valley, Marin County. Hiking the trail from Pantoll Campground on Mount Tam to downtown Mill Valley. It’s in a private residence in a foyer and very visible from the road. Realistically sized. Looks very similar to the Willow Creek statue. This is the same general area where two cops had a sighting on March 23, 1976. Mount Tam has a history of sightings, as well as black panther sightings.
Base of Mt. St. Helens. Largest one I’ve seen. Approx. 15′ tall, but the hair is badly done and ends up looking like fish scales.
Wish I had photos of these. Oh, wait:
-Do a search on “bigfoot lounge” at Flickr.
-”Saint helens bigfoot” on Flickr.
-Search “bigfoot statue” on Flickr for many I’ve never seen before.
Hahaha That statue is fantastic (great photos by the way!)
