You would think the homeowners or the cast of Finding Bigfoot would have set up some camera surveillance being that this creature would visit from time to time.

If I were a bigfoot researcher. I would hold off on all hand/foot prints, diagrams, blurry photos/videos, drawings, plaster castings, hair samples, etc…. until very clear photos are taken or one is captured.

Life may create fantasy if rogue scientists actually create a bigfoot creature someday.

The future of cryptozoology is when people create creatures in the same way hackers create viruses.

Hi Cliff,

Very good job under difficult conditions. I think your estimated guesses are correct and the actual size of the hand is in the neighborhood of 10-13 inches.

Your recommendations to other researchers are right on. Measure and gather as much data as time and safety permit. Good job and my best.

There’s way too much math going on here.

Cool, a regular greasy human hand print where the greasy hand was pulled across the glass to make it a little bigger/longer. Something supposedly as big a a bigfoot (with hundred pound arms according to Matt Moneymaker) would have hands much bigger than nine measly inches. You can do the same thing yourselves with a little Crisco or bacon grease and get on TV too!

Thanks Cliff for sharing. As a ex-sheet metal fabricator and installer, I enjoy seeing the field notes, but don’t see the overall measurement of the pane of glass the print was on. I do have a problem with the hand print though.

You’re going off nothing more than a picture of the print and not a transfer print like they do with fingerprints to study. So much could have been learned from it. Without the real print to study, it all guess work on length and what it really was. And I know you wish you had the print itself to study. It’s like showing a picture of a guy with a picture of a bigfoot for you to study.

I do understand you trying to get a measurement and study the picture, but there is not much you can get just from that photo. But you work with what you got.

Happy hunting Cliff!!
