Sean Forker

Sean Forker (born August 29, 1985) is an American Internet Radio Show Host, Independent Bigfoot Researcher,
and Chairman of the American Bigfoot Society. He is a native of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Sean is married
to his beautiful wife of four years, Laura, and together they have two children, Alyssa (4), and Gabriel
(9 mos) and a cat named “Patty”. He is currently employed for a major electronics retailer.
Bigfoot
Sean began his research at the very young age of 10, when his father gave him a copy of the book ''Sasquatch
The Apes Among Us'' by John Green. He began to assimilate everything he could on the subject. He researched
local woods during his teen years, what he considers anecdotally, fieldwork. Sean did not begin serious field
work until 2005, when he became an Investigator for the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society. This is where he would
meet the man he considers his mentor, Eric H. Altman, Director of that organization.
Sean was a quiet researcher, who tended to stay out of the politics of the Bigfoot research community. This
changed in February 2006. While listening to “The 'X' Zone Radio Show w/ Rob McConnell”, world renowned
Bigfoot researcher; also at the time an alleged hoaxer, Tom Biscardi, toted about pictures he claimed to have
received photos that were “PROOF POSITIVE” in the existence of Bigfoot.
Upon viewing this pictures, Sean knew the source of these photos. Together with fellow researcher Pat
Knetzer, they put an end to the tall tale being dealt to the public. After weighing the new evidence, a
grateful Rob McConnell asked them to appear on his show. Biscardi was not allowed on again.
The 'X' Zone
A new partnership was formed when Sean began to do a monthly segment, lasting until November 2006, called
“The Sightings of Sasquatch/ Bigfoot”.Over the course of several months, Rob and Sean discussed recent
Sasquatch activity, reported encounters old and new, and addressed hoaxing and its repercussions. This
segment partially culminated to the “Is It Real” Debate regarding the infamous 1967 Filming of a Bigfoot by
Roger Patterson/ Bob Gimlin. As the subject matter began to lose interest with the public, Sean and Rob
mutually decided to do shows on Bigfoot less often, and the segment is now on hiatus.
The American Bigfoot Society
During the course of 2006, Sean founded the American Bigfoot Society. The group was comprised of several
researchers from different states, all sharing common goals and frustrations. As the group grew in size, and
with the aforementioned appearances on 'The X Zone”, he also became the 'Voice of the American Bigfoot
Society'. The group has not wavered in its principal goal of the free share of information, something Sean is
most proud of.
In November 2006, Sean stepped down as Director, and a reorganization began. It was during this time that
Sean nominated Melissa Hovey as the first female and first president of the society. She was elected with an
overwhelming majority. She had previously served as Public Relations Director of the group throughout 2006
and as Principal Advisor to Sean during his tenure as Director. Today, the role is somewhat reversed, as Sean
was appointed as Chairman of the Governing body for the organization (for life), and is a principal advisor to
the president.
A New Approach
This reorganization was due in part to Sean's need to get back to basics with research, and adopted the
current movement of skeptical analysis. His belief is that the current evidence is not enough to prove the
existence of these creatures. His belief now is that new evidence must be found, collected, archived, and
recorded properly, using current scientific and forensic methods. He still however maintains a strict, no kill
policy.
The Sasquatch Experience
With the experience gathered from “The 'X' Zone”, and the need to get decent information out to the public,
Sean and fellow researcher Henry May created “The Sasquatch Experience”. The show airs every Sunday at
9pm Eastern Standard Time. The show premiered on October 8th, 2006. Guests have included Dr. Jeffrey
Meldrum; Associate Professor of Anthropology at Idaho State University and author of Sasquatch: Legend
Meets Science, and John Green; the grandfather of Sasquatch Research, author of Sasquatch the Apes Among
Us. The special two hour show with John Green was the ultimate fulfillment of a dream for Sean, as it was
Green who was his inspiration to get involved with this research.
The show continues today in it's Second season.
