THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING BIGFOOT BODIES
A Bigfoot corpse. Has anyone ever found one? Could we ever find a Bigfoot body?
It’s the question that nobody seems to have a good answer for. We have thousands of sightings, hundreds of footprints, dozens of videos and audio recordings, but not a single confirmed body. Not one bone. Not a skull. At least, no real one. Not even a tooth.
After spending the last fifteen years researching this mystery, I think I finally understand why. And the answer is more disturbing than I ever imagined.
1. From Skepticism to Belief
Let me start by saying I used to be a skeptic. Many years ago, I laughed at the grainy footage, dismissed the eyewitness accounts, and figured anyone claiming to have seen Bigfoot was either lying or mistaken. I thought it was all just folklore, fables spun by people who wanted to believe in something more mysterious than the mundane. I considered myself a man of science, grounded in logic and reason.

That changed about twelve years ago when I had an encounter of my own. I was out in the forests of northern California, looking for deer, when I came face-to-face with something that defied every piece of knowledge I had about the natural world. It wasn’t just an animal. It was something else—something large, covered in dark hair, walking upright on two legs like a man. The encounter was brief but undeniable. I didn’t get a clear look at its face, but I saw enough to know it was no bear or man in a costume.
That experience set off a chain of events that would lead me to question everything I thought I knew about the world. It made me wonder, if these creatures exist, why haven’t we found a body? Why hasn’t anyone ever stumbled upon a Bigfoot corpse, a skeleton, or even a single tooth?
The more I dug into these supposed body discoveries, the more patterns emerged. And that’s when things got truly strange.
2. The Hoax Videos
There’s this one clip that circulates every few years, showing what appears to be a Bigfoot corpse lying in a forest clearing. The creature is sprawled out, partially decomposed with visible bone structure and matted fur. The footage is grainy, as you’d expect from something shot with a handheld camera in the middle of the woods, but it’s oddly compelling.
I contacted forensic experts who took a look at the video. They said the decomposition rate looked off, too fast for something that size in those conditions. Others pointed out that the skeletal structure visible in the footage didn’t match any known primate or bear. But before any real investigation could happen, the footage would be declared a hoax, usually by someone claiming to be the creator who’d used latex and foam. They’d say it was a prank, a practical joke.
I’ve probably watched a hundred of these alleged Bigfoot body videos by now. Most are obviously fake. You can see the seams in the costume, the zipper down the back, the completely wrong proportions. Some are clearly CGI, with movement that doesn’t match the lighting or shadows falling in impossible directions. And with the recent surge in AI-generated images, things have only gotten worse. I’ve seen supposedly authentic photos of Bigfoot remains that, upon closer inspection, have fingers with the wrong number of joints or fur that blends unnaturally into the background in ways that scream artificial intelligence.
But here’s what bothers me: scattered among all these fakes are a handful of videos and images that I can’t explain away. There’s footage from what appears to be a government facility showing something large and covered in dark fur on an examination table, with people working around it. It exists in this frustrating gray area, where it’s impossible to prove real or fake. The footage cuts off just when it starts to get interesting, and it’s frustrating.
3. The Malfunctioning Equipment
What frustrates me most about analyzing these videos is the pattern of interruption. So many of them cut off at crucial moments, just when you’d expect to see definitive proof. The camera mysteriously malfunctions. The battery dies. Something blocks the lens. Or the person filming suddenly stops recording.
Skeptics say this is proof of fraud—that the hoaxers know better than to show too much detail that would reveal the fake. But I wonder if there might be another explanation. What if there’s some kind of interference, either deliberate or accidental, that prevents clear documentation?
I’ve experimented with this theory myself during field research. On three separate occasions when I’ve been in areas with recent Bigfoot sightings, my electronic equipment has malfunctioned in ways that seemed almost deliberate. Cameras that worked perfectly hours earlier suddenly refused to power on. GPS devices lose signal in ways that don’t match normal satellite coverage issues. Audio recorders capture nothing but static at moments when I could swear I heard unusual sounds.
Could this be coincidence? Absolutely. Could it be equipment failure due to wilderness conditions? Certainly possible. Or could there be something we don’t understand about these creatures that affects electronic devices? Could they be emitting something that interferes with our ability to capture clear evidence?
Some researchers have proposed that Bigfoot might emit some kind of electromagnetic field or infrasound that interferes with recording equipment. There’s precedent for animals producing infrasound—elephants and whales use it for long-distance communication. Tigers produce infrasonic roars that can cause disorientation and fear in prey. If Bigfoot has evolved similar capabilities, either for communication or defense, it could explain why clear, undisputed footage is so rare.
The equipment fails not because someone’s faking it, but because the subject itself creates conditions that prevent proper recording.
4. What Does a Real Bigfoot Body Look Like?
What would a real Bigfoot body actually look like? I’ve thought about this constantly, based on consistent eyewitness descriptions and the few pieces of physical evidence we have—hair samples, dermal ridges on footprint casts, bite marks on trees.
I’ve built a mental picture. The creature would likely stand 7 to 9 feet tall when upright, with a robust skeletal structure to support considerable weight. The skull would be conical or sagittal, possibly with a pronounced brow ridge. The arms would be proportionally longer than human arms, with massive hands and thick fingers. The entire body would be covered in hair, ranging from dark brown to reddish-brown to black, except possibly the face, palms, and soles of the feet.
But we don’t have any of this. We have nothing. And that’s where things get interesting.
5. Why Don’t We Find Bigfoot Bodies?
See, I started thinking about what happens when other large animals die in the wilderness. Bears. Elk. Mountain lions. We find their remains all the time. Hikers stumble across skeletons. Hunters find carcasses. Park rangers document the locations. Nature has a cycle, and part of that cycle is visible death.
So why not the Bigfoot? Why does this creature seem to vanish completely when it dies?
The government cover-up theory is the obvious first stop. The idea goes that anytime a Bigfoot body is discovered, federal agents swoop in, confiscate the remains, and silence witnesses. I’ll admit there’s something appealing about this explanation. It’s clean. It accounts for the missing evidence, and it fits our cultural suspicion of government secrecy.
But here’s my problem with the government cover-up theory. It requires an impossible level of coordination and secrecy. We’re talking about vast wilderness areas across multiple states and countries. Are we really supposed to believe that every single Bigfoot death across all this territory over decades or centuries gets intercepted before anyone can document it? That no evidence ever slips through? That not one person involved in these operations ever comes forward with concrete proof? It strains credibility. Governments can barely keep election results or budget numbers secret, but they’re supposedly running a flawless operation to hide a species of large primate.
6. A Possible Biological Quirk
There’s another possibility that haunts me for years. Maybe we’re not finding bodies because Bigfoot doesn’t leave any. What if these creatures have some biological quirk that causes rapid decomposition? Some species of deep-sea creatures dissolve quickly after death due to the pressure differences. Certain microorganisms can break down organic matter at accelerated rates.
What if the Bigfoot has evolved a similar mechanism? Perhaps as a defense against scavengers or disease, a body could theoretically decompose completely in days rather than weeks or months, leaving nothing but scattered hair and organic residue that blends back into the forest floor.
I’ve floated this theory to biologists and forensic experts. Most are skeptical. They point out that bones don’t just vanish, that teeth are incredibly durable, and that even rapid decomposition leaves traces. But a few have admitted that if a creature had an unusual bacterial colony in its gut, or a particular enzyme in its tissues, accelerated post-mortem decomposition isn’t impossible.
It’s rare, unprecedented in a creature this size, but not technically impossible. The problem is, without a body to study, we can’t test the theory.
7. The Bigfoot Burial Ritual
Then there’s the behavior angle, and this is where folklore becomes crucial. Indigenous peoples across North America have stories about these creatures going back centuries. The Salish tribes of the Pacific Northwest called them Sasquatch, meaning wild man or hairy man. The Lummi people spoke of creatures that would retreat deep into the mountains when they sensed death approaching. The Nlocka Pam told stories of beings so intelligent they would bury their own dead in secret places hidden from human eyes.
I spent a summer in Northern California talking to elders from various tribes about their Bigfoot traditions. One Hoopa woman in her 80s told me that according to her grandfather’s teachings, the Bigfoot knows when death is near and will separate from its family group to find a sacred burial ground. She said these places are always in the most remote, inaccessible parts of the wilderness, places humans rarely go.
When I asked if she knew where any of these burial grounds might be, she just smiled and said, “Some knowledge isn’t meant for outsiders.”
8. The Hidden Bigfoot Burial Ground
During that same research trip, I spoke with a Euro elder who shared a story that had been passed down through his family for at least six generations. He said that long ago, his ancestors witnessed what they called a walking ceremony where a group of Bigfoot carried one of their dead toward the mountains. The creatures moved in complete silence, traveling in single file with the body wrapped in woven grass and bark.
The humans who saw this hid themselves, understanding instinctively that they were witnessing something sacred and private.
The elder emphasized that his people had always known the Bigfoot buried their dead and that disturbing these burial sites would bring terrible consequences.
9. A Deeper Mystery
The consistency of these traditions across cultures that had no contact with each other is remarkable. What strikes me about all these cultural accounts is the element of taboo. It’s not just that the burial grounds are unknown or unfindable. They’re actively protected by cultural prohibitions against seeking them out. The indigenous peoples who have these traditions aren’t simply unaware of where Bigfoot bodies might be found. They know, or at least their ancestors knew, and they’ve established strong social rules against revealing or disturbing those places.
This suggests that at some point in their collective history, there was enough interaction between humans and the Bigfoot for these boundaries to be negotiated and understood.
10. The Answer That I Can’t Forget
Maybe the Bigfoot has learned to destroy evidence of its existence specifically because of human contact. Maybe, at some point in their collective history, they made a decision: Hide everything. Leave no trace that could be used against them.
This would require a level of intelligence and social organization that many scientists would find hard to accept in a nonhuman species. But the more I study eyewitness accounts, the more I see evidence of exactly this kind of intelligence.
What’s clear is that Bigfoot doesn’t want to be found. And until we stop trying to dominate and start trying to understand, we’ll never find them—or their bodies.
