TexLa Cryptozoological Research Group - Bigfoot Research Results

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 existence of an indigenous primate living in the United States commonly known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. 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 incident report.

Research Outing October 7/8/9 2011

For this outing we had a total of 11 researchers participating, this included all 6 TexLa members 2 members of the Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center and 3 independents. We arrived at the site around Noon on Friday October 7th. This is a large tract of private property, with active oil drilling efforts as well as several herds of cattle which seem to have the run of the 3000 acres. The property is bordered to the West and South by the Trinity River, which has a long history of reported sightings by property owners including some which we have investigated a few miles south of this location. Day time temps on this weekend reached the low 90's with night time lows in the mid 70's. We setup our camp in the NW quadrant of the property and began to make plans for the evening. This was the first research outing where we had the use of a thermal camera. This technology is still quite pricey with entry level low resolution camera's costing 1-2 thousand dollars. The camera that we used was valued much higher than this and was on loan so needless to say we were taking great care with it. During the weekend we had an incident that left us with the opinion that a quality thermal camera is an absolute must for this kind of research effort.....

Unidentified Hair found in Oklahoma

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 were found on the ground and were matted 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 5 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 Mammalogy department at Sam Noble Musuem of Natural History in Norman, OK.
