A Statistical & Scientific Approach To Cryptozoology

This site has been created to provide a repository for and to support discussions into cryptozoology, in an attempt to foster a community for cryptid studies based on a more scientific foundation.

I took this step as I was fed up with the non-scientific approach exhibited by the majority of online contributors to discussion forums, etc, especially regarding cryptids.

A good example of my intentions is the document: "Sasquatch / Bigfoot : A statistical analysis of the population evidence". I wrote this as I was genuinely interested in the possible existence of this cryptid & fed up with discussions at the level of "well, why dont we find any dead bodies then" and "They can detect trail cameras and avoid them". I immediately think, "How many dead bodies would there be on average? Over what sort of area?" and "Do they need to avoid cameras? What is the chance of an encounter anyhow?"

Surely without any facts and figures to go on, no point of view is valid? This document was an attempt to at least put some basic estimates in place. A lot of it is not 100% scientific fact, because this information is not available out there, as the work has not been done on Bigfoot. However, at least it is a starting point.
