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 5/6/7/8 2009
This outing was the first of 2009, there were 15 researchers present and even this number would prove to be too few to fully cover the 2000 acres of private property we were visiting. The first researchers began arriving on the evening of Thursday, February 5th, the property owner had a deer camp that provided a central location for us to setup our tents. The weather was quite mild with day temps in the low 70's, and lows in the low 50's. We did have some wind out of the south to deal with during the weekend with gusts reaching 30mph during the day and even after dark still reaching 10-15mph. A visual scouting of the area near base camp turned up a couple of teepee structures, one of the teepees yielded a couple of hairs. On Friday afternoon at 17:00hrs the crew began the process of deploying game camera's along with baited voice recorders, everything was setup for night operations by 18:30hrs. We deployed 5 different listening teams spread over 3/4 mile, our first broadcast of vocals going out at 22:30hrs. We tried a variety of calls including the Ohio Howl, various whoops and pig squeals, except for some distant coyotes, we did not hear any response vocals while we were in the field this night. In addition, we did a couple of wood knocks and did have at least one faintly recorded reply at 00:30hrs Saturday morning. It was later discovered that we did record a much more audible wood knock on this night that occured before we deployed at 20:40hrs. Interestingly....

Unidentified Hair found in Tree twistoffs
November 16/17/18 2007
We made a trip to Oklahoma on an invitation from a witness and to check some areas that he felt might result in evidence. This area has a history of sightings and while we were there we found an 8ft Cedar with fresh limb twist offs. On close inspection hair was found trapped in the limbs with some hair pulled from heights above 4ft off the ground, 5 cockle burrs where found on the ground and were covered in the same hair. We could see that some of the hair tapered to a fine point, hair length varied from 1 1/2 inches to over 7 inches. Samples have been submitted to 4 different labs for ID, no concensus has been reached on the origin, black bear was eliminated as a possible source by Dr. Lynn Rogers and staff from the Wildlife Research Institute and by the Mammology department at Sam Noble Musuem of Natural History in Norman, OK.
