Bigfoot Mapping Project: Explore 8,000 Sightings with Scott Tomkins

A new video from the YouTube channel Howling Underdog Films has caught the attention of Bigfoot enthusiasts and researchers. The video, titled "Habitats: A Mountain Adventure - Full Bigfoot Documentary 2025," explores the history of Bigfoot sightings and the possibility of their existence. The video features an interview with Scott Tomkins, the creator of the Bigfoot mapping project app. Tomkins, a GIS professional in the energy industry, created the app as a way to collect and analyze data on Bigfoot sightings. The app has a wealth of information on historical sightings, as well as a crowd-sourcing form for people to submit their own reports. Tomkins explains that the app has collected around 8,000 sightings, with over 300 submitted since 2020. He also notes that when zooming in on certain areas, such as Washington, the concentration of sightings is particularly high. One of the first analysis Tomkins did with the data was looking at the seasonal spread of sightings. He found that sightings are more condensed in the spring, likely due to mating or raising young. In the summer, sightings start to spread out, and in the fall and winter, they are even more spread out, as the creatures cover more ground in search of food. The video also touches on the different theories about what Bigfoot might be, including the possibility that they are a relic population of Gigantopithecus, a species of extinct ape that is believed to have lived in Asia. As a Bigfoot believer and a curator for Squatchable, I am always excited to see new research and data on these elusive creatures. The Bigfoot mapping project app is a valuable tool for anyone interested in the subject, and I encourage our readers to check it out and submit their own sightings. The more data we have, the closer we will come to understanding the truth about Bigfoot. It's worth noting that while the video doesn't provide any definitive proof of Bigfoot's existence, it does offer an interesting perspective on the history of sightings and the potential for their existence. I highly recommend watching the full video and checking out the Bigfoot mapping project app for yourself.
