Emily Fleur, founderHi, I'm Emily!
For the past 5 years, I have been studying Sasquatch, an unrecognized species that inhabits not only the forests of North America, but the entire world. I know these animals exist & my goal is to study them in the field. This is no easy task & I’m learning along the way, which is why I ask you to join me, as I study the science behind Sasquatch, its potential origins, & the unique behavior of this unrecognized mammal! My goal is to discover & protect the Sasquatch species without causing harm to them or their environment. events

Connor, Evidence Analyst & Videographer, has been researching sasquatch for over 10 years. Originally from California, he spent most of his time searching for evidence in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, with moderate success. Now, he’s living in Oregon as Director of the North American Bigfoot Center. After finding tracks in 2016 & possibly filming a pair of sasquatch on thermal in 2018, his research has shifted from gathering eye-witness reports to obtaining evidence through fieldwork & primate research. Since working at the NABC, Connor has obtained significant evidence.

Levi, Historian, has always been interested in Sasquatch. The interest that captivated his youth turned into research after reading Dr. Meldrum’s Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. He did two independent studies while in college that he used for the foundation of his book A Quest for the Truth: A Historian’s Argument for the Existence of Sasquatch, where he argues that Sasquatch is a primate & that all theories surrounding this creature should be grounded in the natural world. Be sure to pick up a copy of Levi's book in our shop!

Eli, Field Researcher &Videographer, has been interested in cryptozoology for as long as he can remember. Growing up in the age of Monster Quest & Finding Bigfoot, he found the idea of Bigfoot to not only be plausible, but probable. This interest spawned into a podcast known as Cryptid Campfire, where he is able to devote time to serious research into various cryptozoological & paranormal phenomena. Eli recently joined the Small Town Monsters team as an editor, where he has the opportunity to travel the country investigating & filming regions where various cryptids are said to roam.

Peter Byrne is considered one of the pioneering Bigfoot researchers of the PNW. Beginning when he was a child & his father used to tell him bedtime stories about the Yeti, or Abominable Snowmen of the Himalaya, Peter Byrne has always had an interest in the unknown & the mysterious. This has carried through his life & beginning with the lure of the mysterious Yeti, has taken him from the high Himalaya & its enigmatic ape men to the rugged forests of the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. & the equally great mystery of another unknown primate - the giant creature known as the Bigfoot, or Sasquatch. To this end he has spent a total of thirty-eight months in the Himalaya - longer than any foreigner - spread across five expeditions. In a tenacious effort to solve the Sasquatch phenomenon, he designed & led three major Pacific Northwest research projects.
Peter Byrne became an iconic researcher & confidant for eye-witnesses. Mr. Byrne is responsible for bringing attention to this subject during a time when little was known of these creatures. He continues to guide & inspire us here at The Forest Fleur, sharing his stories from the many expeditions he led as well as his theories on Sasquatch! |
Paul Bartholomew has been researching Cryptozoology, UFO's & Paranormal Phenomena for over 4 decades, gaining incredible insight & experience along the way. He has been featured in Bigfoot-focused programs that aired on the History Channel, Animal Planet & Outdoor Life. In 2004, Paul was part of an iconic legislation to create protective habitat for Bigfoot/Sasquatch in Whitehall, NY, which was the first official acknowledgement of the creature in the local area. From the time his research started, Paul has written several respected books, such as "BIGFOOT ENCOUNTERS IN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND," & his most recent publication, "The Mysterious Northwoods: Strange Tales from the Adirondack and Green Mountains." Paul has quickly become an iconic researcher pioneering the search for the New England Bigfoot! We are thrilled to have Paul join our team & look so forward to gaining more insight into the species that roams our local wilderness.
