This print measures 13" and was found near Yosemite National Park in east central California.

Yeti footprint cast replica The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is an apelike animal cryptid said to inhabit the Himalaya region of Nepal and Tibet. The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region, and are part of their history and mythology. Nepalese have various names for Yeti like "Bonmanche" which means "wild man" or "Kangchenjunga rachyyas" which means "Kanchanjunga's demon." Many in the scientific community largely dismisses the Yeti as a fraud supported by legend and weak evidence, yet it remains one of the most famous creatures of cryptozoology. The Yeti can be considered a Himalayan parallel to Bigfoot (Sasquatch). A number of prints were discovered in snow and ice by Eric Shipton (1907-1977) a distinguished British Himalayan mountaineer. Shipton photographed the prints in 1951 in the Gauri Sankar Range, Himalayas. This print shows an opposable big toe common to all apes

Here is the footprint that started it all!  The Patterson print was made after Roger Patterson filmed his famous Bigfoot video in October 1967 in the Bluff Creek sandbar. This cast is 14 1/2 inches long and 6 inches wide. Meldrum: "Patterson-Gimlin Film Subject In October 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin claimed to have captured on film a female Bigfoot retreating across a loamy sandbar on Bluff Creek, in northern California. The film provides a view of the plantar surface of the subject's foot, as well as several unobstructed views of step cycles. In addition to a prominent elongated heel, a midtarsal break is apparent during midstance and considerable flexion of the midtarsus can be seen during the swing phase. The subject left a long series of deeply impressed footprints. Patterson cast single examples of a right and a left footprint. The next day the site was visited by Robert Laverty, a timber management assistant and his sales crew. He took several photographs including one of a footprint exhibiting a pronounced pressure ridge in the midtarsal region. This same footprint, along with nine others in a series, was cast two weeks later by Bob Titmus, a Canadian taxidermist."

Patterson cast #2. Here is a second print from the famous Patterson video. This print has a mid-tarsal break (as found in the original) from the original Patterson / Gimlin site. This print was cast 9 days after the sighting by Bob Titmus on October 29,1967.

Here is a bigfoot print found by Bob Titmus. It appears to be from the Patterson trail of prints.

Marx Bigfoot / Sasquatch Handprint Two plaster casts have been obtained of handprints of the reputed Sasquatch .The prints measure more than half again greater than normal human hands and are relatively very broad. The thumb is non-opposable and there is correspondingly no elevation of the thenar eminence During the summer of 1970, handprints of two of these animals were photographed and plaster casts of them were made by Ivan Marx, a game guide in northeastern Washington state. Marx loaned the original casts to Grover Krantz who then made latex molds from them in order to produce exact duplicates for further study. Dr. Krantz passed away in 2002, but copies of this hand print are available here at Taylor Made Fossils. An unexpected trait is the non-opposable thumb. The hand strongly suggests one designed for digging into the ground and for raking berries from bushes rather than being primarily for manipulating objects. Flexing all five digits in the same direction would best facilitate the suggested functions. Heavy callousing, including along all margins, would also be expected to follow from such uses.

Edward Palma and Robert Olsen saw small patches of dermal ridges in the casts, but there are almost overwhelmed by extensive wrinkling over much of the foot surface. Thse tracks are also not very good mirror images [the left is different from the right] in the gross relief of their bottoms. I suspect that this is a very old female individual who is semi-crippled. In 1984, Paul Freeman cast a set of both right and left tracks in the Blue Mountains of Washington/Oregon states. This is not the same place as Blue Creek Mountain of California. Another bit of confussion? These casts became known as "Wrinkle foot". Not very well documented in the literature. Grover Krantz almost off-handedly mentions them in his book "Bigfoot-Prints: A scientific inquiry into the reality of Sasquatch".

Over the years, Paul Freeman developed a shady reputation concerning the subject, some saying even resorting to hoaxing evidence, so not much attention was given to this man or his evidence, except by the local media. Grover Krantz attempted to duplicate the ridge patterns he found on these casts with combs and other items. Later, even others explored this approach with the serrated edge of butter knives. The results were all less then successful. They lacked details such as what appeared to be sweat pores, symmetrically placed along the tops of the ridges. The over all dimensions were also grossly enlarged caricatures of what now Grover felt might be definitive proof for these animals existence. (cryptomundo).

This print was discovered by Paul Freeman in 1982. It was found in Umatilla Nat. Forest Walla Walla, Washington (USA).

This is a half of a Bigfoot foot print discovered by Jeff Meldrum at Mill Creek, LA(?) 2/18/96 Jeff Meldrum on the half track: "Evidence of a Midtarsal Break Perhaps the most significant observation relating to this trackway was the evidence of a pronounced flexibility in the midtarsal joint. Several examples of midfoot pressure ridges indicate a greater range of flexion at the transverse tarsal joint than permitted in the normal human tarsus. This is especially manifest in the footprint figured below, in which a heel impression is absent. Evidently, the hindfoot was elevated at the time of contact by the midfoot. Due to the muddy conditions, the foot slipped backward, as indicated by the toe slide-ins, and a ridge of mud was pushed up behind the midtarsal region."

The prints from Hyampon, (Northern) California were found by Bob Titmus in April 1963.
  Jeff Meldrum has made statements indicating that the Hyampom cast (which may exhibit Sasquatch dermal ridges) was made in mud. Murphy includes a photograph that even shows standing water in one of the Hyampom tracks.

Onion Mountain (Blue Creek) John Green Cast In August of 1967, John Green cast an old track he found on a dirt road running between Blue Creek and Onion Mountain. It soon became labeled the Blue Creek Mt cast. He wrote of it in some of his earlier publications. Here was a cast that had many ridges running in circular formations all over it, showing all the signs of friction ridges found on all primate feet and hands. John made a statement once about seeing these lines in an actual track but later corrected this by saying that one night while there (northern California) he was called over to a track by some of his companions and by flashlight saw ridges in its sole. He thought – Oh No! Someone is faking these tracks with wooden feet. The misconception about all of this was the name given the track and cast – Blue Creek Mt. – when years later he realized that the shadows in pictures placed these tracks closer to Onion Mt, so the name was changed. This didn’t make front-page news but did confuse people who were studying it. The ridges he witnessed that night was also assumed to have been in the bottom of the track producing this cast. It was not. (cryptomundo)

Here are 4 casts of Big Foot / Yeti / Sasquatch (Footprint casts. Left and right) The prints are from Grays Harbor County, Washington. The "Hereford prints" (sic: "Heryford prints"), also called the "Abbot Hill prints", were cast by Sheriff Dennis Hereford on April 22, 1982 (one source gives the date as "mid 1960s") in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Meldrum: "Deputy Sheriff Denny Hereford was one of several officers investigating footprints found by loggers on the Satsop River, in Grays Harbor County, Washington, in April 1982. The subject strode from the forest across a logging landing, then doubling its stride, left a series of half-tracks on its return to the treeline. Note the indications of the fifth metatarsal and calcaneocuboid joint on the lateral margin of the cast. The proximal margin of the half-track approximates the position of the calcaneocuboid joint."

Knuckle print casts by Paul Freeman found in Elk Wallow, WA. in 1982. These knuckle prints come from a line of prints known as the "dermals" which were discovered in 1982. This cast displays the knuckles of four fingers along with the thumb. The thumb shows a fingernail which is rotated in a position that is non-opposed (ape-like) position. This cast is 10 inches wide.

Laird Meadow Road Footprint 1964 This footprint was found by Pat Graves on Laird Meadow Road, near Bluff Creek, California in 1964. During a conversation, Pat mentioned to Roger Patterson he had found the tracks just the day before. Roger hurried to the location, hoping to see the footprints himself; what he found was extraordinary. The creature that made the tracks came down from a mountain, crossed Laird Meadow Road, continued down an old logging landing, and finally disapeared over a bank and into the woods, with an average stride of 52 inches. Each footprint was 17 inches long and 5 wide at the heel. The tracks were imprinted an inch and a half deep, far deeper than Roger's own footprints. Evidence of a flexible foot was seen in the prints, particularly when the foot had stepped on small rocks; the toes curled over them. Patterson then made casts of the footprints. This is one of the casts made; it was left by a right foot. The life form that made this footprint is presumed to be a (large) male sasquatch, who's tracks were found in the area on several other occasions ranging in time from 1958 to 1963.

Mill Creek print. This cast was found (some say hoaxed) by Leon Paul Freeman on 2/18/1996, in Mill Creek, Washington (USA). Whether it truly is a cast of a bigfoot creature or a hoax it is a very nice print with excellant detail.

Here is another print from the famous Bluff Creek, N. California. From the Patterson-Gimlin Film site. This print was discovered by Bob Titmus on Oct 31, 1967.

Kettle Falls Bigfoot print. Discovered in 1969 by Vauhn Bryant, PhD. Near a road by Kettle Falls, a city in Stevens County, Washington. It is named for the nearby Kettle Falls on the Columbia River, an ancient and important fishing site for Native Americans.

Gigantopithecus Jaw Partial jaw replica of the largest primate that ever lived, found in Pleistocene China and Vietnam. This jaw measures 3.9x3.6x2.8in.(100x90x70mm). Many Bigfoot enthusiasts believe that Gigantopithecus might provide fossil evidence of Bigfoot.

Gigantopithecus blacki "Reconstruction" Reconstruction by Dr. Grover Krantz based on large Chinese male fossil jaw, assuming bipedal posture and ape-sized brain. Fully Licensed by the estate of Grover Krantz. Gigantopithecus blacki resin cast measures: 12" long, 12" wide, 15" high

This set of prints was discovered in Texas, in the Sabine river bottoms. One is a complete bigfoot print, the shorter of the two is a partial print. These were discovered in the Spring of 2003 by Chester Moore.
