– So, have you ever heard of the FBI’s Vault? This is a massive database of thousands upon thousands of files on lots of public figures. Everyone from Al Capone to Hitler and including one Bigfoot. Yes. Bigfoot has an official FBI file. It is 22 pages long, and recently I found myself kind of exploring the depths of this file and inside there’s one pretty hilarious interaction between a Bigfoot research group in the 1970s. They actually took 15 hairs from someone or something that they thought might have been Bigfoot, and they sent them into the FBI for official testing to see if indeed those hairs belonged to one Bigfoot. Not gonna spoil it. You’ll have to find out for yourself. But please go check out Bigfoot’s official file and see what you find.
