I have 1,660 Sasquatch sighting reports in the computer in which a color was mentioned. The number of white ones is 77, or 4.63%, or one out of 22. There is an east-west difference. Only 28 white in 846 western reports, 3.31%; 49 in 814 eastern reports, 6.02%. The database doesn't contain any information specific to albinism. I can not recall even one description of a white Sasquatch, or any Sasquatch with either pink or light blue eyes, but the eye color is seldom seen. There is no correlation between northern latitude and the percentage of white Sasquatches. You can't split the data along lines of latitude across the continent because the area involved in the west is considerably farther north than that in the east, but in each case there is a higher percentage of white reports in the southern section than in the northern. In the east, white reports south of the 39'th parallel are 6.45%. North of the 41'st parallel the are 6.3%. In the west white reports are 5.03% south of the 44'th parallel and only 3.6% north of the 46'th parallel. With regard to time of year, the results are curious, maybe even significant. The percentage of white reports in winter is approximately double the percentage in summer, in both sections of the continent. In the east white reports are 13.97% of all reports in winter, 6.08% in summer. In the west white reports are 7% in winter and 3.34% in summer. It should be kept in mind, however, that winter reports are rare, so the numbers ivolved are very small, just 13 white out of 93 reports in the east and 7 out of 100 in the west.
