NSRS members include New Yorkers and Vermonters; the group’s veteran investigators include Brian Gosselin of Whitehall, N.Y. (an eyewitness to the creature as you’ll soon see), Cliff South of South Glens Falls, N.Y., along with John Pearson and Bill Brann of Glens Falls, N.Y.
Since 2010, the Eagle has kept in contact with NSRS members Bill Brann and Brian Gosselin about the North Country’s own Bigfoot.
Eagle: Let’s begin with Bill Brann. How did the Northern Sasquatch Research Society get started?
Brann: We organized nearly six years ago, but our mutual interest and experience with Sasquatch sightings goes back 34 years-plus now.
Eagle: Are Bigfoot sightings something new in this part of Vermont and New York?
Brann: No. In 1603, Samuel de Champlain reported several native stories about Sasquatch sightings along the St. Lawrence River. The Native Americans of that time were calling the creature the Stone Giant and Hairy Wildman. In the 1700s, Robert Rogers and his Rangers were pursued by something in the North Woods. One of Roger’s Rangers claimed the creature had legs as large as “spruce logs”.
