Bigfoot by Rebekah Harness

What is bigfoot, or Sasquatch? For hundreds of years, people have reported seeing hairy, man-like creatures that walk on two legs and live in the forests and mountainous areas of North America and around the world. The term "bigfoot" was coined in 1958, when bulldozer operator Jerry Crew found and cast large tracks at Bluff Creek, California, near the site where Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin later filmed the Patterson-Gimlin film in 1967. The story, and the word "bigfoot" hit the Associate Press and it has been a common word for all things big, hairy and manlike ever since.

The belief that bigfoot is simply an "ape" similar to a two-legged Gorilla has been
status quo in the bigfoot research community for decades. One popular theory is that Bigfoot may be Gigantopithecus Blacki, a large primate whose teeth and jawbones have been discovered in parts of China. The mass media often ridicules people eyewitnesses who claim to have seen Sasquatch. Some have looked to early human ancestors as potential candidates to explain what Bigfoot is. Many early Native American tribes across the US and Canada have stories about Bigfoot.

Do you believe in Bigfoot ?
