Shane Corson

A native of Scotland, has dedicated decades to cryptid research and field investigation. After moving to San Diego as a teenager, he developed a passion for the outdoors, tracking, hiking, and survival skills—pursuits that would define his life's work.

In 1997, Corson began conducting field research on Bigfoot, interviewing eyewitnesses with possible encounters in the San Bernardino Mountains, Yosemite, and Northern California. His investigations expanded when he relocated to Oregon in 2008, immersing himself in Pacific Northwest research across California, Oregon, and Washington.

Corson's commitment intensified following his own Bigfoot encounter in Mt. Hood National Forest in 2011—an experience that deepened his passion and validated years of pursuit. Spending considerable time in the field camping, hiking, and exploring remote wilderness areas, he refined his research methodology and expanded his investigative scope.

His dedication and ambitious approach to advancing Bigfoot research eventually led Corson to become a proud member of the Olympic Project, joining a collaborative effort to document and understand the elusive creature in the Pacific Northwest.
