Origin Story
The idea for searchingforsquatch.com and the unique cameras was born out of an idea after listening to countless interviews of eyewitness accounts. I thought, there’s got to something to all of these accounts. There also seemed to be a constant theme that Sasquatch know when motion cameras and motion lights are around. The consensus seems to be that Squatch are able to see the infrared light emitted by these devices. If it’s true that Squatch can see this spectrum of light it lends truth to the stories that they avoid areas with these lights and possibly why it’s so difficult to capture them on trail cameras. I thought I could bring my experience as a former deputy sheriff and logical way of think to the search for sasquatch.
After researching animals and the various spectrums they are able to see including humans the conclusion was made that it is indeed possible that Squatch can see infrared or at the very least near infrared light. Then the idea of how to avoid this ability and still capture one on camera was in full swing. I began to recall stories of sasquatch visiting camp sites during the night. The stories often mention Sasquatch remaining just outside the campsite while everyone was awake and even visits to the site while everyone was sleeping or believed to be sleeping.
I thought if there was someway to have a completely stealthy camera there might be a way to capture them on camera. Then I thought of the idea of a remotely triggered camera. I searched the internet for just such a camera, but none existed. I found a way to make one from existing components. Modifications are necessary, especially to keep costs down but it could be done. With the aid of modern technology the costs for building a custom remotely triggered camera with a weatherproof housing is possible. Then reality hit and the thought of how to make such an endeavor possible began to sink in.
This is where the idea of building a website and a crowdfunding campaign came from. I need your help to make this dream become a reality. I am humbly asking for your help to make this idea happen.
