Southern California Bigfoot Researchers: Their Work and Impact

In a recent video from the YouTube channel "S1 E8 • The Inland Empire Sasquatch," host Eli Watson delves into the fascinating world of Southern California Sasquatch research, both historical and modern. As a Bigfoot enthusiast and researcher myself, I was thrilled to discover this video and wanted to share some of the highlights with the Squatchable community. Eli begins by acknowledging the importance of understanding the history and pioneers of Sasquatch research in the Southern California region. He mentions several notable researchers, including Ken Coon, an LA County Sheriff who was one of the first to investigate Sasquatch sightings in the area during the late 1960s. Coon is well-known for his work on the Zoobies case in Alpine, California. Other notable researchers mentioned in the video include Peter Guittilla, Dan Perez, Bobby Slate, Rich Grumley, Matt Moneymaker, and Daniel Perez. These individuals have all made significant contributions to the field of Sasquatch research, with many focusing on the unique aspects of Southern California's Sasquatch population and habitat. One researcher, Constance Cameron, ran a group called the Bigfoot Co-op in Whittier during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This group was small but dedicated, and Cameron's background in archeology and anthropology brought a unique perspective to their investigations. The group was responsible for documenting sightings and encounters from all over the world, including Russia. Eli also discusses the formation of several prominent Sasquatch research organizations in Southern California, such as the Bigfoot Co-op, the California Bigfoot Research Organization, and the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). These groups have played a crucial role in documenting and investigating Sasquatch sightings and encounters in the region. Finally, Eli touches on the importance of publications like Daniel Perez's "Bigfoot Times" and Bobbie Short's website, Bigfoot Encounters. These resources have been instrumental in sharing information and stories about Sasquatch sightings and research with the broader public. As a Bigfoot believer and researcher, I found this video to be both informative and inspiring. It's essential to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of these pioneering researchers, who have paved the way for future generations to continue exploring the mystery of Sasquatch. I encourage all Squatchable readers to check out the full video and learn more about the fascinating world of Southern California Sasquatch research.
