In the wild world of cryptozoology, few names have stirred up the pot quite like Charles Stuart, known to the public and media as “Snake the Bigfoot Hunter.” In his raw, self-published memoir and field guide, The Bigfoot Bible: How I Found Bigfoot, Snake chronicles what he claims is the most groundbreaking event in modern history: the discovery of a genuine, scientifically verifiable Sasquatch specimen.
Part gripping adventure, part taxonomic manifesto, and part manual on surviving a modern-day media circus, The Bigfoot Bible reads like the anti-textbook of cryptid research. Snake does not offer fuzzy footage or ambiguous plaster footprint casts; instead, he presents an 8-foot-tall, 300-pound physical corpse he has affectionately named “Dack.”
The Core Narrative: Finding “Dack” in the Adirondacks
The heart of The Bigfoot Bible details Snake’s 2024 camping expedition deep within the rugged terrain of New York’s Adirondack Mountains. According to Snake, he happened upon the remains of an enormous, heavily muscled creature covered in thick brown hair. The book walks readers through the logistics and heavy lifting required to retrieve the body, followed by the painstaking taxidermy process required to preserve the specimen for public viewing.
Snake uses the book to fundamentally redefine what the creature is, strictly separating his findings from popular mythology.
Snake’s Definitive Breakdown: “The Bigfoot Bible is probably the exact opposite of the actual Bible… it’s pretty blasphemous. It is a raw storytelling of how I found the body, warts and all. I debunk a lot of old theories… Bigfoot is not a great ape, it’s not an alien, an interdimensional being, an angel, or a Nephilim.”
The Controversial Science: 58.5% Neanderthal
What separates The Bigfoot Bible from typical cryptid lore is Snake’s heavy reliance on absolute, concrete percentages. In the book, he outlines the results of alleged testing conducted at Cornell University’s Veterinary DNA Lab.
According to Stuart, the genetic sequencing proves that Sasquatch is a close cousin to modern humanity, presenting a highly specific genetic breakdown:
| Genetic Component | Percentage | Evolutionary Context |
|---|---|---|
| Neanderthal DNA | 58.5% | Accounts for the heavy brow ridge, wide jaw, and immense bone density. |
| Human DNA | 41.5% | Explains the bipedal gait, social intelligence, and primate characteristics. |
The Academic Backlash
Predictably, the scientific community has treated The Bigfoot Bible with a massive dose of skepticism. While Snake insists the results are verifiable, Cornell University has not publicly confirmed or validated that any such DNA testing ever took place within their veterinary facilities. Mainstream anthropologists point out that a 58/42 hybrid split would imply a relatively recent evolutionary pairing rather than a separate, long-isolated hominid species—a detail that has kept internet forums and cryptozoology subreddits locked in fierce debate.
Migration and the “Cave Connection”
Aside from the anatomy of Dack, The Bigfoot Bible serves as a practical field guide for hunters. Snake introduces his mapping theory, which connects historical Bigfoot sightings directly to regional geology.
He argues that Sasquatch groups are migratory, using massive subterranean cave networks to traverse North America completely undetected. Snake highlights major hot spots where these cave systems overlap with dense forests, specifically mapping:
- The Adirondack Park system (New York)
- Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio
- The dense cave networks of the West Coast
From Page to Public Display: The New York State Fair
For readers who finish The Bigfoot Bible wanting physical proof, Snake provides an open invitation. Rather than hiding his discovery in an anonymous warehouse, Stuart has turned “Dack” into a traveling exhibit.
The specimen has become a massive pop-culture attraction, pulling in crowds of over 60,000 people at the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse, where it is housed in the horticulture building. Visitors are invited to inspect the 8-foot taxidermied specimen themselves and form their own conclusions.
Whether you view The Bigfoot Bible as the ultimate cryptozoological breakthrough or a masterclass in modern showmanship, Snake the Bigfoot Hunter has delivered an unapologetic, wildly entertaining addition to American folklore. It is a book written not for academia, but for anyone who has ever looked out into the dark woods and wondered what is looking back.
