WHO WE ARE:
Founded and operated by Jack Wood, the Berkshires Bigfoot Society is a science-minded organization dedicated to proving the existence of Bigfoot in Western Massachusetts and surrounding areas. Please reach out to us if you or someone you know has had a sighting, encounter, heard sounds, or found evidence. Servicing western & central Massachusetts, northwestern Connecticut, southeastern
New York, and southern Vermont. The creature Americans and Canadians know best as Bigfoot -- with Sasquatch being a close runner-up -- goes by many names around the world. These include, to name just a few, the Yeti of the Himalayas, the Yeren of China, and the Yowie of Australia. Most of North America's indigenous tribes have their own names for the creature, as well as folklore about it. Generally, it is an upright, bipedal, ape or hominid-like creature; with adults ranging from six to nine feet tall. The most commonly reported hair colors are black or brown (often with a reddish tint); although witnesses have also reported seeing individuals with gray, white, and even blonde hair. The creature shown in the famous Patterson-Gimlin film from 1967 is believed to be a female, due to having two possible breasts and being somewhat shorter in height. Sightings have been reported in all U.S. states except Hawaii, as well as all Canadian provinces. ABOUT JACK:
Jack Wood has been interested in Bigfoot since age eleven, when he began watching numerous documentaries related to the subject; which snowballed into a passion almost immediately. A Virginia native, Jack grew up taking numerous trips to his family's homestead in The Berkshires, where he now makes his home. When not "Squatchin'", Jack's day job is a cybersecurity help desk agent. He is also a musician, serving as the music director and organist at a church in Virginia, where he returns monthly. In 2017, he made a pilgrimage trip to the mecca of Bigfooting, Willow Creek, California.
