William Dranginis Talks About His Encounter

On December 3, 2018, William “Bill” Dranginis, who had been fighting pancreatic cancer, passed away. He had moved to Florida, to be near family, in the last few months.

Bill Dranginis, age 59, was a surveillance and security expert, originally from Manassas, Virginia. In 1995, Bill had a sighting of a Bigfoot while metal detecting with friends in the forests near Culpeper, Virginia, and had since then dedicated his free time and efforts to capturing video and or audio evidence as proof of the creatures existence.

    Thanks Wes. I had no idea he has passed and wondered why I have not heard anything about or from him in several years. I think it was 2012 when he gave a lecture at the Ohio Bigfoot Conference. He detailed his initial sighting and how the FBI agents did not want it known they had seen a Bigfoot, for the obvious reasons. He also had a motorhome type vehicle outfitted with a lot of technology. One time he took Jane Goodall out for a couple of hours in it, mostly just chatting though. He stated she fully believed the Bigfoots are out there and had a keen interest, but just no time to devote to this endeavor with her Chimp project taking all her time. He also had a new camera technique. This was a camera that he had mounted up high in a tree that would take pictures every few seconds or whatever time frame one wanted to use. His was set at a picture every 10 seconds and he had filmed some ducks on a stream for his presentation. I at the time ( forget the camera name ) that this would be a great technique as no infrared sensor and up high enough they might not detect it. Of course the drawback is it would not work at night. William thought outside the box. R I P William.
