Welcome to the TexLa Cryptozoological Research Website

We are a dedicated group of researchers that are collecting evidence on cryptids with an emphasis on Bigfoot/Sasquatch. Our research area covers East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma and all of Louisiana.

Our mission is to obtain video/audio evidence of sufficient quality to compel the Scientific world to action on a serious effort to document the existance of an indigenous primate living in the United States. We are not attempting to harvest a specimen, if one needs to die to prove it exists we are willing to wait for it to do so via natural causes. If you have seen one of these animals or perhaps "manimals" is a better term, we would like to hear about it. Please click here to send us your sighting report.

Latest Developments from our Research Operations

February 18/19/20/21 2010

We returned to a private ranch in Anderson County where last year we had recorded some unidentified vocals and found various tree structures. The property owner had informed us prior to our visit that he had found human like 15" foot prints in fresh mud around newly installed feeders during the deer season of 2009-10. These finds had removed any doubt in his mind that he indeed has something very unusual on his property. He made a point to warn us to be careful as he has large wild hogs and big cats on the property as well based on claw marks recently found on trees. We had all members of TexLa and a couple of independent researchers present for this trip. The team began to arrive on Thursday February 18th around 11AM to setup camp. We caught a break with the weather which was quite mild with day temps in the mid 60's, and lows around 50. We moved base camp to the back of the property where a group of campers had been run out in the middle of the night by what was described as "large monkeys" in an incident in the fall of 2008. For the first night we acted like typical campers built a fire, talked and cooked, etc. We had an array of baited audio recorders and game camera's deployed, during the night we had several coyote outbreaks but nothing was detected around base camp that could not be described as known local wildlife.

After recovering and downloading all audio recorders, we spent Friday checking the local area for suspicious tree damage and tracks. No tracks were found and the snow storm that had dropped 12 inches of snow in this area of Texas one week prior had damaged many trees (mostly Pines) making any tree breaks found suspect. For Friday night we setup and did call broadcasts from the area of base camp with teams spread out over half a mile along a ridge as listening posts. Game cameras and audio recorders had been deployed in the area between the hours of 16:00-19:00hrs. Everything was setup for night operations by 19:00hrs we returned to base camp and ate supper, our first broadcast of vocals going out at 22:40hrs. We tried a variety of calls over several hours including the Ohio Howl, various whoop combinations, which are cleaned vocals that we had recorded on previous outings, and we interspersed some wood knocks. We did not hear any suspect response vocals while we were deployed this night. We did collect some pictures of wildlife on the game camera's including Deer and several Coyote as well as some very interesting audio which included a growl and audio of what sounds like something getting pummeled. To check these out click on the audio links below. For Saturday night.... Click here to read more on this outing and many others over the last 2 years. Below are direct links to the growl, the pummeling and the walk up sequence from the early morning hours of 2-21-10.
