Here are some of the interesting “facts” that “prove” the existence of Bigfoot!
10 - 2018 Bigfoot Sighting Over the decades, the mystery behind Bigfoot's
existence has prompted thousands of people to search in the woods for a mythical creature.
The latest “encounter” was actually recorded on video!
A family in Canada was able to spot a 10-foot tall animal wandering around the woods.
The video shows a human-like figure walking around the edge of a snow-capped river for
a moment, and then going back into the woods.
Now, should we assume this is clear evidence of Bigfoot?
For many people, given the hoaxes that have been discovered in the past, its only another
attempt to make the myth around this creature even bigger.
There’s no information about the people that shot the video, nor the exact location
where it was recorded.
Is this hard evidence that proves Bigfoot is actually a real animal?
I mean, why can’t it be just a black bear standing up walking around on its hind legs?!
9 - Footprints and sounds Experts from all over the world have debated
for years about how relevant it is to actually search for Bigfoot.
Still, many people do it quietly, since the scientific community frowns on anyone publicly
acknowledging they’re searching for the creature….and to be honest, I don’t blame
the scientists!
Such is the case of wildlife biologist John Bindernagel who, in 1988, found HIS first
ever piece of evidence that would lead him to start a decades-long investigation on Bigfoot.
Bindernagel, who kept quiet about his finding until 1994, first found a 16-inch long footprint
in Strathcona Provincial Park in Canada.
While on a hiking trip, he encountered the huge footprint stomped right on the ground.
Years after this, in 1992, he heard what he’s certain to this day was the growl of Bigfoot:
a resounding “whoo-whoo-whoop” that was heard throughout Comox Lake in British Columbia.
Well.
All of this is according only to Bindernagel, who was completely alone at the time.
He compared it to a similar cry he had heard from a chimpanzee in Uganda, thousands of
miles away from the cold Canadian laker where he heard Bigfoot.
But really…...is this guy off his rocker?
Can we just trust one guy’s word?!
8 - Hairy evidence What makes the case for Bigfoot so interesting
is that the number of encounters never cease to stop, yet there just seems to be no concrete
evidence whatsoever confirming Bigfoot’s existence!
You’d by now have to think that either Bigfoot doesn’t exist or he’s a super intelligent
animal and doesn’t want to be found!
One of the only cases in which physical evidence of Bigfoot was found was collected by French
adventurer Christophe Hagenmuller, who claims to own a piece of hair that belonged to what
he believes was Bigfoot.
The Royal Society performed genetic analysis of hair samples attributed to yeti, bigfoot,
and other unusual primates.
They found that many of the delivered hair samples, including Hagenmuller’s samples,
could be easily tracked to the DNA of local animals.
These animals include wolves, domestic dogs, polar and American black bears, as well as
raccoons.
While the study didn’t have the presence of unidentified DNA, which of course strengthens
the existence of Bigfoot, it also didn’t categorically refute its existence.
But I mean, it’s just hard to prove something doesn’t exist.
It’s waaaay easier to prove something exists than the other way around.
7 - Native American Folklore Bigfoot has had a historically important presence
in Native American folklore.
Supposedly some native americans believe that Bigfoot is the boundary between human and
animal conscience.
This makes it a common character in many of the stories that surrounds the culture.
Given the substantial and diverse spread of Native Americans, their stories will reference
Bigfoot in many different ways.
One thing they have in common is how none of them attribute anything special to its
physical appearance, although many tribes think there is more to its spiritual significance.
Many communities, such as the Sioux, the Iroquois, and the Hopi believe that its similarity to
humans has a hidden meaning.
Some communities in Alaska think Bigfoot’s the carrier of important messages of change
and cleanse, as he’s a creature that appears during troubled times to help them be more
connected with mother nature.
There’s a strong idea among the majority of Native American tribes that Bigfoot's presence
is a clear warning of humankind's misbehavior.
6 - Dr. Krantz's examination of casts Dr. Grover Krantz, from Washington State University,
was the first serious academic to formally pursue and investigate Bigfoot.
This only made him an infamous star in the world of conspiracy theories, but as expected,
he was constantly ignored by mainstream media with regards to his findings.
So, he decided to publish numerous research papers aimed at audiences who were unacquainted
with the scientific data surrounding Bigfoot, in an effort to bring some light into the
matter.
He also appeared on various TV shows talking about it.
Krantz's theory stated that Bigfoot first entered the continent by walking through the
Bering Strait around 70,000 BC.
Krantz actually was the first to call Bigfoot Sasquatch, a term he came up with based on
the Native Canadian term sasqets, which means “wild man”.
But his most famous contribution was the analysis he performed on a series of casts and footprints
named “Cripplefoot” found in various Washington forests.
The Cripplefoot tracks supposedly showed essentially fingerprints and injuries tentatively identified
as clubfoot.
Krantz also attempted to have both the FBI and Scotland Yard study the fingerprint patterns,
and was told by renowned fingerprint expert John Berry that Scotland Yard had concluded
the prints were "probably real."
Supposedly, there was no way anyone could have created a remarkably realistic cast like
that.
But if it were real…..why couldn’t it just be an extra large bear with an extra
large foot?!
5 - Canadian Evidence The fight to prove the existence of Bigfoot
is one that has taken years and, still, to this day, no one has been able to present
any solid evidence.
You guys starting to catch the drift here?
Bigfoot doesn’t like being found!
That and Bigfoot likes it cold!
Well, one man in Canada, Todd Standing, claimed that he has irrefutable, yes, irrefutable
evidence that Bigfoot is real.
Standing claimed to have Bigfoot hair, but a lab that studied it said it was just human
hair, or that of another species.
Bummer.
Of course, the government denied his claims and declared his evidence as not worthy, which
prompted Standing to file a civil suit against the government of British Columbia.
Seriously, some people just have too much time on their hands……
He wants Sasquatch to become a national protected species, a recognition that only certain endangered
animals such as the Vancouver Island marmot, the sea otter, and the beluga whale have received.
But uh…..these guys actually have proved that they exist.
Supposedly the trial that’s supposed to be taking place sometime in 2018 is going
to have resounding physical evidence, testimonies from eye witnesses, and even declarations
from people with PhDs.
Welllllll……..should we be holding our breath here?!
Probably not.
4 - Sightings on Mount Rainier Washington state seems to be the focal point
of all Bigfoot-related activity.
This northwestern state is the place where most sightings have been registered, with
110 and counting.
Mount Rainier, a location that has become highly popular among Bigfoot-obsessed people,
is what many experts now call the home of Bigfoot.
Many people claim to have seen Bigfoot walking around certain areas of the national park
from as early as 1912.
Back in 1948, in Mad Lake, a man supposedly saw a six-foot tall creature squatting in
the water.
He first thought it was another man, but later realized that the person wasn’t actually
a person at all, because he was all covered in black hair.
This wasn’t the only encounter of course.
In 1964 another man claimed Bigfoot came into his camp.
This seven-foot tall specimen supposedly had remarkably thick legs and dangling arms, features
that of course, don’t belong to a bear.
There are plenty of stories such as these that all happened on Mount Rainier.
I guess if you’re desperate to see Bigfoot….that’s where you wanna go!
3 - Curious tracks And we're traveling back to guess where……….Washington!
Back in 2000, two researchers analyzing some curious tracks found at the Lower Hoh Indian
Reservation in Washington, came to two drastically different conclusions.
One of them, a professor from Idaho State University, concluded there wasn't enough
evidence to determine the tracks belonged to the creature many had described as Bigfoot.
However, the other guy, Cliff Crook, a notorious Bigfoot investigator, said the exact opposite.
Crook said that from his research, he discovered the animal is around 8 feet tall, and weighed
around 600 pounds.
Crook even eventually decided to set up a permanent camp on the Hoh reservation, so
he could constantly study the clues he had found.
Although many other investigators have seen the area, all of them state there isn't enough
evidence to say that the curious tracks found belong in fact to Bigfoot.
Yeahhhhhhhh.
2 - The Patterson-Gimlin film This video is essentially the most famous
piece of evidence that bigfoot exists.
This was the holy grail that created a generation of Bigfoot investigators roaming the Pacific
Northwest forests.
Back in 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed footage of Bigfoot walking around on
the gravel sandbar at Bluff Creek, on the border of Oregon and California.
On October 20th 1967, Patterson and Gimlin were horseback riding around the area when
they supposedly spotted Bigfoot.
Patterson fell off his horse out of the shock, but was able to grab his camera and film the
encounter.
As Patterson approached Bigfoot, it slowly started walking back to the woods from the
sandbar.
To this day, this short footage has been used as the main reference for all investigations
regarding Bigfoot.
To be honest…..this just looks like some dude in a monkey suit walking around.
What do you guys think?!
1 - Man in Utah found a Bigfoot skull Ogden, Utah is no stranger to Bigfoot theories.
The site has served as one of the many places where people have supposedly found numerous
pieces of evidence that confirm the existence of the creature.
Recently, Todd May, a resident of the area, found what he considers is an undeniable confirmation
that Bigfoot exists and wanders around his back yard…..even if experts have come forward
to confirm that the object he found is, in fact…...just a rock.
Yeah.
During a routine hike near his house, May came across what he still believes is a fossil
of Bigfoot's skull.
The 75-pound object, or rock, was hidden underground, untouched.
May decided to dig it out and has now publicly presented it as evidence for the existence
of Bigfoot.
Again, experts have said it's just a very old rock.
It’s just a rock people!!!
Apparently, this wasn’t May's first encounter with Bigfoot.
May claims he saw Bigfoot right in front of him a few years ago.
It locked eyes with him, before rapidly running away from him.
Ooookaaaaayyyyy!
Here's what's next!
