What do Bigfoot and Facebook have in common? A lot of followers.
Yet despite decades of hunting, there’s little scientific evidence to support belief in the stories of a giant, hairy man creature that haunts the woods. Facebook/FindBigfoot aims to change that. Founded in 2010, it’s the first social network dedicated to collecting, curating and analyzing Bigfoot photos and videos.
“Our team and dedicated fans of this site find and authenticate real Bigfoot videos by researchers, accidentally and by people in the right place (forests) and the right time,” the group’s webpage reads. But despite the focus of the group’s research, Facebook/FindBigfoot isn’t trying to validate the existence of the creature. That’s a given, they claim.
“We are not trying to prove that Bigfoot exists. It does in large numbers. We are interested in how they act and their morphology,” the page states.
The crowd-sourcing research community, which has more than 36,000 fans on Facebook, just released its list of the top 10 trending videos of the beast, alternately known as Sasquatch and the Abominable Snowman.
“Fans sometimes have their own favorite Bigfoot videos,” said Jack Barnes, chief video analyst for FB/FB, in a statement. “We can’t ignore those Bigfoot videos that get the most shares and page views.”
