FBI releases Bigfoot files of brief probe into mythical creature

The FBI on Wednesday published the findings of their short-lived 1970s investigation into the existence of Bigfoot — the elusive mythical creature that’s rumored to have stalked the North American wilderness for decades.

The anticlimactic results of its 1976-1977 probe, however, determined the hair samples it examined were not from Bigfoot — but from “a member of the deer family.”

The feds released the 22-page investigation from the FBI Records Vault, which publishes department files requested through the Freedom of Information Act.

The probe kicked off at the behest of Peter Bryne, who at the time was the director of the now-shuttered Bigfoot Information Center and Exhibition in Oregon.

The center obtained a hair sample attached to a piece of skin — which it couldn’t identify and believed belonged to the furry Bigfoot.

Byrne in 1976 mailed the sample to the FBI, asking it to test it.

“We do not often come across hair which we are unable to identify and the hair that we have now, about 15 hairs attached to a tiny piece of skin, is the first that we have obtained in six years which we feel may be of importance,” Byrne wrote.

The FBI told the group its labs are typically used for research related to criminal investigations but consented to test the hair sample “in the interest of research and scientific inquiry.”

The feds closed out their Bigfoot investigation in 1977 once they traced the hairs to the “deer family” — but since then that hasn’t stopped the Bigfoot believers and their speculative sightings.
