Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Yowi. Whatever you wish to call it, we talk about it here at Simply Sasquatch. Come armed with your questions, comments, experiences and whatever else you have to offer and join into our show.
We are pleased to announce that Ontario’s largest sasquatch research groups, Ontario Sasquatch and Ontario Bigfoot /Ontario Wildlife Field Research have merged into one organization.
The new group will be called:
Ontario Sasquatch/Ontario Wildlife Field Research
This merger will unite all researchers and enthusiasts province-wide and will ensure that our members are offered the highest level of accessibility to the latest sasquatch and wildlife activity throughout Ontario.
Our Membership Application is no longer available. Please join our public forum, Ontario Bigfoot/OWFR Forum for updates on the latest sasquatch activity in Ontario and to meet others who share your interest. Get to know us for a while there, and if you show that you are an energetic and active participant in forum discussion, and you wish to become an Ontario Investigator, you may be invited to join us in the field, and investigate sasquatch sightings. We cover all of Ontario, and we need more investigators in many areas.
A brand new website is currently being designed for the new amalgamated group, with the content from both groups combined on the new website. This will take several months, so please bear with us. In the meantime, this website and the OB/OWFR site will remain the same with periodic updates.
P. Barker - OSR Investigator

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.

Notice: Cougar Alert!!
It's estimated that there are now as many as 500 cougars believed to inhabit Ontario. Be wary when in the woods ...
Visit Ontario Puma for information about these large cats.
Also see Toronto Star cougar article.
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.
