Biography: Henry May

Henry May was born in Jacksonville, Florida, March 26, 1970, and will be 37 this year. Henry developed an interest in the Sasquatch at age 6, when he saw his father with a copy of a book called "Bigfoot: The Mysterious Monster," and also seeing the late Andre the Giant as the Bionic Bigfoot on the "Six Million Dollar Man television series. Later that year, he saw the episode of "In Search Of..." about Bigfoot, and a year later saw "Bigfoot: The Mysterious Monster" on TV at his grandmother's house. These things really got him hooked on Sasquatch and all things cryptozoological. He read every book he could find on the Sasquatch, and got his first exposure to John Green in 1980 with his opus "Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us." He continued to read everything he could on the subject and also watch every TV program about the elusive giants. He moved from Tennessee to Pennsylvania to Georgia, still interested in the subject; in Georgia, he had some possible and "not sure" encounters with something which may have been a Sasquatch, but he is not sure. When he moved to Mississippi in 1984, he had several other "not sure" encounters here. He has heard strange sounds and found tracks, but had his first definitive sighting in 1998, January 13th, at 1:15 A.M. He was driving north on Highway 61 between Leland and Shaw, Mississippi, when he spotted what appeared to be an individual crossing the highway from left to right across the highway. When he reached the point to where this individual crossed the road, he saw standing in a ditch a large, hairy, dirty-white creature which did not look at him, but only stood there, its back to the road and a side profile seen. A large bicep was seen, as well as rippling muscles in the back; the sighting took place within 15 seconds. SInce then, Henry has been deeply interested in the subject, but has really come out in a strong way within the last 3 years as an advocate of these creatures. Henry has over 80 books on the subject or similar phenomena, as well as two footprint casts from California, one given to him by his good friend M.K. Davis. He has an autographed picture by Bob Gimlin of Frame 352 of the Patterson Movie signed by Bob Gimlin, as well as many hours of Internet Radio programming featuring interviews with Sasquatch Researchers, as well as numerous DVD's on the subject. Henry is currently a member of several groups-the American Bigfoot Society, the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society, the International Bigfoot Society and Sasquatch Watch of Virginia, as well as the founder and President of the Southeast Sasquatch Association, founded in 1994. He is also currently the co-host of the "Sasquatch Experience," an Internet radio program found at Blog Talk Radio which airs Sunday nights at 9:00 Eastern Standard Time. Henry believes in a strict no-kill policy when it comes to the Sasquatch.
