Investigating the unknown. Following the evidence.
MIBFIO approaches Bigfoot as a potentially physical, flesh-and-blood animal. Reports deserve careful documentation, skeptical examination and honest separation of evidence from speculation.
Explore Michigan ReportsOur ApproachA biological question deserves a biological investigation.
Accounts of large, upright, hair-covered figures occur throughout North America. MIBFIO focuses on Michigan reports and the evidence surrounding them.
We do not present Bigfoot as a spirit, interdimensional entity or extraterrestrial. Our work concerns the possibility of an undiscovered or unrecognized flesh-and-blood creature.

For years, Bigfoot reports have been scattered across old newspapers, books, databases, websites, archives and personal accounts. Finding a report is easy. Determining what deserves to be believed is considerably harder.
We have been working quietly on something different.
It isn’t another collection of dots on a map.
More when we’re ready.
Cryptanthropus
Cryptanthropus (noun) — A proposed descriptive term for an elusive or unclassified humanlike biological creature whose existence remains unconfirmed by established science; particularly a purported flesh-and-blood hominoid known primarily through eyewitness reports, historical accounts, trace evidence and other incomplete evidence.
Etymology: crypt-/crypto- (“hidden, concealed”) + Greek anthropos (“human, person”).
