The route

  3. 6 independent accounts behind those documents

Copies are not confirmations: thirty papers printing one story is still one account.

Rabbit hole: Bigfoot · Trinity County, California · 20146 documents tell this story. They trace back to 6 independent accounts. Each independent account is one row; time runs left to right.

Each shape is one document; open it to go to where we found it. The same graph as a list is below.

Why these records are connected

  • Why these documents are one case. The case matcher joined them because:
    • It’s time to share my possible bigfoot encounter near Hoopa… & It’s time to share my possible bigfoot encounter near Hoopa…: their quoted passages are nearly identical; they describe the same details; same place; same year
    • It’s time to share my possible bigfoot encounter near Hoopa… & It’s time to share my possible bigfoot encounter near Hoopa…: their quoted passages are nearly identical; they describe the same details; same place; same year

Every document, as a list

  1. Account 1 1 document
  2. Account 2 (Separate account) 1 document
  3. Account 3 (Separate account) 1 document
  4. Account 4 (Separate account) 1 document
  5. Account 5 (Separate account) 1 document
  6. Account 6 (Separate account) 1 document

How to read this

  • Time runs left to right by publication date. Very long empty stretches are cut short (the axis shows how many years were skipped); undated documents sit in their own column.
  • One row per independent account. A reprint, re-upload or cross-post carries the same text, so it stays in its account's row and never counts as a second witness.
  • Earliest found (ringed) is the earliest document we hold for that account. It is not proof of the first telling: an earlier one may exist that we haven't collected.
  • Arrows run from a document to a source it names. A dashed shape is a source a document cites that we haven't found yet; its link searches a public archive for it, and a hit there is a lead, not a confirmation.

About the numbers

  • Only documents we've collected are counted; retellings elsewhere on the web aren't counted yet.
  • Documents are matched by shared text and by the sources they name, by plain rules with no model in the loop. A match can be wrong; tell us.
  • Our case matcher counts 1 independent account here: some of these accounts quote the same words, so they may be one telling.
