Welcome to the TexLa Cryptozoological Research Website
We are a dedicated group of researchers that are collecting evidence on cryptids with an emphasis on Bigfoot/Sasquatch. Our research area covers East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma and all of Louisiana.
Our mission is to obtain video/audio evidence of sufficient quality to compel the Scientific world to action on a serious effort to document the existance of an indigenous primate living in the United States. We are not attempting to harvest a specimen, if one needs to die to prove it exists we are willing to wait for it to do so via natural causes. If you have seen one of these animals or perhaps "manimals" is a better term, we would like to hear about it. Please click here to send us your sighting report.
Latest Developments from our Research Operations
March 11/12/13/14 2010
For this outing we returned as we do each March to one of our most active research locations in Louisiana. Some of the team arrived on Thursday March 11th with the rest of the participants arriving on Friday March 12th. We had 4 TexLa members plus 2 additional independant researchers on this outing. Game cameras had been placed by those arriving on Thursday with additional cameras being deployed on Friday afternoon along with the usual audio recorders. All deployments were completed by 19:00hrs where we returned to base camp for supper and to plan our strategy for that night. On previous visits to this location we have recorded wood knocks, walk ups and (so far at least) unidentified vocals. Below we will review what was attempted on Friday and Saturday nights and will follow that up with the results of our review of the audio and a time line of events that took place over the weekend. This was a very productive trip where we had alot of events happen that remain unexplained. We didn't produce much in way of game cam pics this weekend, but we did collect some very interesting audio to share.
For Friday night we decided to spend some time broadcasting calls from a remote bridge where interesting audio had been recorded before, we took our time getting ready and left to deploy to the first location at 23:00hrs...

Unidentified Hair found in Tree twistoffs
November 16/17/18 2007
We made a trip to Oklahoma on an invitation from a witness and to check some areas that he felt might result in evidence. This area has a history of sightings and while we were there we found an 8ft Cedar with fresh limb twist offs. On close inspection hair was found trapped in the limbs with some hair pulled from heights above 4ft off the ground, 5 cockle burrs were found on the ground and were matted in the same hair. We could see that some of the hair tapered to a fine point, hair length varied from 1 1/2 inches to over 7 inches. Samples have been submitted to 5 different labs for ID, no concensus has been reached on the origin, black bear was eliminated as a possible source by Dr. Lynn Rogers and staff from the Wildlife Research Institute and by the Mammalogy department at Sam Noble Musuem of Natural History in Norman, OK.
