If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you're going to want to hear about this fascinating conversation with Scott Tompkins from the Bigfoot Mapping Project, which was featured on the Sasquatch Odyssey Podcast. Scott has a background in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and has worked in geophysical exploration and energy for 15 years, traveling to various parts of North America.
During the conversation, Scott shares his personal encounter with what he believes may have been a Bigfoot. While hiking with a friend on Mount Beacon in Beacon, New York, they heard a guttural roar and saw a tree shaking vigorously. Although they didn't stick around to find out what it was, the experience left a lasting impression on Scott.
Scott's interest in Bigfoot was further piqued during his travels for work, as he heard strange stories from landowners in remote areas. These stories inspired him to create the Bigfoot Mapping Project, an app and map that tracks Bigfoot sightings and encounters through crowdsourcing. The project aims to analyze the information and make it more than just anecdotal, providing valuable insights into Bigfoot sightings and behavior.
The Bigfoot Mapping Project is an independent initiative, and the conversation with Scott Tompkins was featured on the Sasquatch Odyssey Podcast. If you're interested in learning more about the project and hearing Scott's full story, be sure to check out the video on YouTube. As Bigfoot enthusiasts, we're always excited to learn about new research and projects in the field, and the Bigfoot Mapping Project is definitely worth a look.
