About Holstonia Bigfoot Investigations
Holstonia Bigfoot Investigations (HBI) is an independent research initiative focused on the systematic, method-driven evaluation of anomalous biological reports commonly associated with the term “Bigfoot.”
The project approaches these reports within a provisional relict hominin framework for analytical convenience, without assuming the existence, non-existence, or ontological status of any specific organism. The emphasis throughout is on method, evidence quality, and inference rather than belief or advocacy. —
Scope and Objectives
Holstonia Bigfoot Investigations seeks to:
- Develop standardized field instruments for documenting environmental, contextual, and observational data
- Evaluate presence-only reports using concepts from wildlife monitoring, ecology, and statistics
- Build comparative reference libraries (acoustic, gait, documentary) to support pattern recognition and falsification
- Examine historical, archaeological, and paleoanthropological contexts relevant to claims of surviving large-bodied hominins
- Encourage transparent, replicable, and critical analysis of anomalous reports
Methodological Orientation
HBI draws on established practices from:
- Wildlife biology and rare-species monitoring
- Ethology and comparative primate studies
- Bioacoustics and signal analysis
- Ichnology and substrate-based track analysis
- Historical and archival research
Claims are evaluated probabilistically and comparatively. Extraordinary interpretations are neither assumed nor dismissed a priori.
What This Project Is — and Is Not
This project is:
- Method-focused rather than conclusion-driven
- Open to critique, revision, and null results
- Interested in patterns, constraints, and testable inference
This project is not:
- An advocacy organization
- A repository for unvetted claims
- A substitute for physical evidence where such evidence is required
