Have to remember, overall cryptid encounters are very rare, seeing one is like getting struck by lightning on the same day you win the big lottery.
There are not a 'lot of reports'. Many states have not had an official report for several years. I could go to a mental hospital and get many reports of strange beings or occurrences. We need the follow-up evidence to make any report worth investigating.

Nobody “reports” anything by me.
They just talk amongst themselves.

Earl: Yup I saw one of them Bigfoots last night by pikes peak.
Hank: yeah I think I got one runnin around my back 20.
Earl: dumb bastard ran right out in front of me. Good thing I just had my brakes done or that sumbitch woulda done wrecked my truck.
Hank: yeah well mine better not mess with my chickens or he’ll be sorry when I fill his hide full of lead.
Earl: yup. So you going to the chicken bbq Sunday?
Hank: yessir. Them mashed potatoes is some good.
Earl: yup. Spose we’ll see you there.

No follow ups. No official investigations.
Although I do know some Small time BF research groups have done some poking around over the years.

The only follow ups that are done with cryptid reports is pretty much a basic interview, they go over the sighting and pay attention to whether the person tells the same story consistently or if they try to embellish or add things.


As far as verification goes...that is a bit tougher, its possible to verify and confirm who the witness is, their vocation, criminal record (if any) credit rating, etc, but those things cannot necessarily determine whether the witness is being truthful or not

This is an entirely accurate transcript of a Bigfoot sighting.
