Amy Bue

Field Researcher


A writer and educator from Northeast Ohio, Amy Bue’s fascination with Bigfoot started in 2012 when she saw something she couldn’t explain. Although Amy’s private field research is concentrated in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest, she crosses the country speaking and researching in areas of high interest while following up on witness reports and looking for evidence of Bigfoot’s existence.

In 2018, Amy cofounded Project Zoobook, a collaboration of Bigfoot investigators working alongside primate zookeepers, primatologists, wildlife biologists, marine biologists, forestry workers, archaeologists, anthropologists, university professors, law enforcement officials, taxonomists, and other scientists. Their goal is to continue the work of the late wildlife biologist Dr. John Bindernagel in striving to make the subject of Bigfoot less taboo in scientific circles. Their efforts have proven successful as many doors have been opened for both Amy and her colleagues, including an invite to camp and research alongside native Pikuni investigators on Montana’s Blackfoot Reservation, a featured front page article and continuing collaboration with the Wall Street Journal, and an invite to meet Dr. Jane Goodall and to attend her talk in Washington D.C.

Currently, Amy is focusing on writing her book on Ohio’s Tom Page, one of Roger Patterson and Peter Byrne’s financial backers and a partner in their adventures.
