Who or What is Bigfoot?

Bigfoot is a cryptid and the subject of numerous mythologies and legends. Also known as Sasquatch, Bigfoot is said to inhabit forests in North America, with reported sightings as far back as the 19th century.

  • Physical Description

    Most reported Bigfoot sightings describe a large, hairy, ape-like creature standing between 6-9 feet tall and weighing up to 600 pounds.

  • Global Presence

    Reports of Bigfoot are not limited to North America, with similar large, hairy creatures reported in various parts of the world like the Yeti in the Himalayas or the Yowie in Australia.

  • Cultural Significance

    Bigfoot has often been depicted in popular culture, from TV shows to films and books. For example, "Harry and the Hendersons" and the "Bigfoot" episode on "The X-Files."

  • Belief and Skepticism

    While there is a large camp of believers, criticism and skepticism abound, leading to a debate about the authenticity of various sightings.

The Evidence for Bigfoot

Despite skepticism, over the years credible and scientifically supported evidence has emerged to support the existence of Bigfoot.

  • Footprints

    Footprints found, casts of them, dating back to the early 20th century, all seem similar in anatomical detail, have dermal ridges and unique dermal features. Some even claim that the features seen in these prints are consistent only with the unknown cryptid.

  • Audio Recordings

    Mysterious audio recordings from Bigfoot territory reveal unidentified sounds. Experts suggest Bigfoot's vocal range may exceed that of any known primate.

  • Video Footage

    Amateur footage and additional video analysis have been carried out over time, with varying degrees of clarity. The Patterson-Gimlin film, recorded in 1967, has been the most noteworthy and scrutinized piece of evidence. Some experts believe it to be genuine, though others believe it to be a fake.

  • Branch Structures

    Complex stick and branch structures known as 'nests' have also been found in alleged Bigfoot territories. Some researchers believe these could not have been created by human hands or by known animals, and thereby suggest Bigfoot activity.
