P. Barker - Artist and OSR Investigator
I'm working with witnesses who have had sightings, creating sketches of these creatures. The goal is to develop insights into what sasquatch/bigfoot may look like.
Visit our Hair Sample Library:
It includes gorilla, bear and many others.
We also have a comprehensive FBI Human Hair Article reprinted from the FBI website detailing how to identify human hairs, which are different on various parts of the body.

Attention!!
If you have reported an incident to another investigation group outside of Ontario, we welcome you to re-submit your report to Ontario Sasquatch. Our investigators can make a site visit and meet with you personally to talk about your encounter. We don't want to take reports away from other organizations ... but we're trying to build a picture of what is occurring in this province. The only way we can do that is to talk with you and listen to you.
We also have a resident artist who can do a sketch, if you've had a close up sighting.
