John Albert Bindernagel, Canadian biologist and cryptozoologist, cancer.∼Bindernagel was born in Kitchener, Ontario, attended the University of Guelph,[3] and received a PhD in Biology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[4] He moved to British Columbia in 1975[5] largely because the region was a hot spot for Bigfoot sightings.[3] Over the years, he collected casts of tracks that he believed belonged to Bigfoot. He also claimed to have heard the creature near Comox Lake in 1992, comparing its whooping sound to that of a chimpanzee.[6] Bindernagel believed that the Bigfoot phenomena should receive more attention from serious scientists, but remarked, "The evidence doesn't get scrutinized objectively. We can't bring the evidence to our colleagues because it's perceived as taboo."[7]
He published a book in 1998 entitled North America's Great Ape: The Sasquatch.[8] His second book, The Discovery of the Sasquatch: Reconciling Culture, History and Science in the Discovery Process, was published in 2010.[9]
Bindernagel was a curator with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) until his death.[10] Bindernagel died on January 17, 2018 at the age of 76. His cause of death was determined as cancer.
