David Paulides
Author of Tribal Bigfoot and The Hoopa Project
David Paulides is an investigator and field researcher for the North American Bigfoot Search. He's a former law enforcement investigator turned Bigfoot researcher who writes and investigates like a professional patrolman, but who has chosen a topic many would classify as paranormal. He manages to capture the trust of those he contacts and they open up to him about Bigfoot encounters they've had, as they would open up to very few others, especially those outside their family circles.
Harvey Pratt
Forensic artist bringing Bigfoot sightings to the printed page
Harvey Pratt is a professional forensic artist living in Oklahoma, a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. He is a Master Native American Artist, an inductee to the Southern Cheyenne Chief's Lodge, and a forensic artist since 1968 with more than forty years law enforcement experience.

Did you read David Paulides' first book, The Hoopa Project? If so you'll be happy to know the second book is more than 100 pages longer then the first! It is packed with stories and interviews from six Northern and Central Californian counties, and concludes with chapters on Minnesota and Oklahoma Bigfoot sightings. There are dozens of photographs of Bigfoot sighting witnesses, and a collection of intriguing sketches of what are probably authentic Bigfoot faces drawn masterfully by forensic artist, Harvey Pratt.

Robert Conroy says:
I've read both books - The Hoopa Project and Tribal Bigfoot and liked both of them. The shocking part is how human these creatures can be. This would explain why a lot of blood, hair and tissue samples sent in for DNA analysis come back "contaminated" as human. It's been known for quite a while these creatures can mate with humans and produce viable offspring. So they are human or very close. The next step would be to protect them, world wide. Two of my Uncles who spent their life working in the woods in Montana had encounters with them including 22 inch footprints recorded.

The Hoopa Project
...Bigfoot sightings in Hoopa Valley
David Paulides' first book brought to light numerous Bigfoot sightings that have been taking place in the Hoopa Valley area, just a few miles south of Bluff Creek where the famous Patterson-Gimlin movie was filmed.
The Hoopa Project: Bigfoot Encounters in California
Amazon Price: $19.95 (as of 02/14/2012)
I loved reading this book, not only because the sightings took place only about seventy miles from my home, but also because the witnesses -- those who had sightings -- were so credible. I was also profoundly moved by the forensic sketches -- most of which depicted a very human-like appearance for Bigfoot. What was amazing about the drawings was that the people who described Bigfoot to Harvey Pratt came up with such similar Bigfoot faces, and only one of them resembled the Bigfoot seen in the Patterson-Gimlin film.
Rate it, if you've read the whole book...

- When we are fishing here in Oklahoma and I hear a noise off in the woods, big foot does cross my mind. If I ever saw one of these guys, I would probably probably have a heart attack. Love reading what people say they have seen. Nice lens and I am sure I will enjoy reading Tribal Bigfoot.

Are they apes? Some, including David Paulides, believe they are more human than ape... or maybe a combination of the two. In any case, this book by Canadian John Green is a classic every Bigfoot researcher should read.
