Bigfoot BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Bigfoot has stomped back into the headlines this week with a mix of international intrigue, homegrown festivals, and the ever-growing roster of believers, all making for a busy July. The most talked-about story comes from South America, where local media in Argentina are abuzz over a reported early morning encounter with the infamous creature known there as the Ucumar. According to Outkick and echoed by Mens Journal, a 28-year-old sandwich shop employee named Tito claims he and a friend saw a large, hairy, hunched-over figure while descending Cerro San Bernardo just after dawn. Tito even snapped a blurry photo on his phone, but like so many before it, the image is described as inconclusive. While his grandmother was certain it was the Ucumar, speculation remains rampant, and the story is fueling fresh debate among cryptid circles.

Closer to home, Bigfoot’s celebrity status as a cultural icon has never seemed stronger. Mike Familant, the New Jersey-based Bigfoot researcher and star of the YouTube series In the Shadow of Big Red Eye, is currently touring and sharing his experiences at public venues. Just this weekend, Familant presented at the Mexico Public Library in Maine, recounting tales and displaying the latest evidence his team has gathered. His ongoing investigations, particularly his campsite work at Mt. Blue State Park, continue to draw interest, especially from those following along on his social media and YouTube presence, Sussex County Bigfoot.

On the festival circuit, anticipation is building for the 2025 WNC Bigfoot Festival, which is set to return to Marion, North Carolina, in August. Organizers are promising another round of Bigfoot calling contests, Sasquatch-themed food, and educational events that regularly draw tens of thousands. Meanwhile, the Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival in Ohio is expanding this year, moving to the Vinton County Fairgrounds and stretching to a four-day event packed with music, art, and live presentations. These festivals underscore Bigfoot’s enduring popularity and the creature’s uncanny knack for uniting skeptics and believers.

Social media mention continues unabated, with Instagram users like Bigfoot Dad Explores Montana and accounts such as stickerburrroller playfully reporting new “sightings,” some of which turn out to be branded lawn equipment rather than the cryptid himself. In entertainment, Sasquatch has also made a literary splash, with Roxanne Norrie’s new children’s novel Sasquatch getting commendations for its blend of adventure and mystery.

While no new definitive evidence has emerged and the Argentina photo remains in the familiar blurry tradition, Bigfoot’s legend remains as robust as ever, with equal measures of scientific skepticism and devoted fandom fueling the ongoing search.
