Bigfoot Real or Not

Bigfoot
Many people are not sure whether or not to believe in bigfoot or not. It is simply because there is not enough scientific evidence to support that there is in fact a so called “Bigfoot”. There are many so called sightings from many believers out there but no hard evidence to actually prove that Sasquatch truly does exist.
Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is the name given to an ape-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America (Cruze). Bigfoot is usually described as a large, and very hairy creature. Most scientists discount the existence of Bigfoot and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal, because of the lack of physical evidence and the large numbers of creatures that would be necessary to maintain a breeding population. Bigfoot sightings or footprints are often demonstrably hoaxes. Both scientists and Bigfoot believers agree that many of the sightings are hoaxes or misidentified animals.
Bigfoot is described in reports as a large hairy ape-like creature, in a range of 6–10 feet tall, weighing in excess of 500 pounds, and covered in dark brown or dark reddish hair Cruze. Bigfoot is commonly reported to have a strong, unpleasant smell by those who claim to have encountered it. Some have also contained claw marks, making it likely that a portion came from known animals such as bears, which have five toes and claws.
All of these supposedly facts have been said by all of the people to have claim that they have came into contact with Bigfoot. It does not matter what all of these people say because for the people that they want to convince it is all opinion based whether they will believe them or not and that is what keeps making it interesting is because people do not know whether it is real or not and it will always be a mystery until there is actually some hard

    The legend of the famous Devils Tower in Wyoming, according to the Sioux tribes of the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, tells a vivid story of young boys, and how this tower helped them to escape the grasps of a gigantic grizzly bear. The Rosebud Indian Reservation is federally recognized as the Sicangu Oyate tribe, or the Sicangu Lakota, which is a more specific group within the Lakota tribe.

    Sasquatch Myths

    A hunter had found the dead body that could supposedly be Sasquatch. Tests have been taken in to see if it linked to anything and the results still haven’t came back. Doug Gross said in this article “Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say” from CNN that “The men won’t reveal the den of the ape like man because they don’t want others to be disturbed” (Gross). This is a huge reveal, but them not revealing the actual den makes it less believable. It’s like telling someone (just for an example) I will trade you 5 bucks tomorrow for that sandwich and not even showing them you have money for it. In my own opinion they just found a carcass of a rare ape-like species. Now if they had revealed the actual location of the den and people start to go there and get even more evidence then I would believe it is real. This story never really became popular either. I never even knew that this had happened until I looked it up so that is another huge reason why it is probably…

    Any aspect of fringe science will always be heavily debated with both firm believers and die-hard skeptics. This is due to one simple fact: in order to prove a fringe science topic one must have irrefutable evidence, such as a body; however, the inability to find rock-solid proof does not prove something doesn’t exist. Due to this circumstance, fringe science has been a hot topic for decades. Throughout the ages people have testified to witnessing phenomena such as bigfoot, ghosts, and aliens; but never has anyone been able to provide enough proof of an encounter to convince the scientific community that any of these phenomena are in fact real. Of the three, bigfoot is the most…

    After considering the historic page and viewing the living world with anxious solicitude, the most melancholy emotions of sorrowful indignation have depressed my spirits, and I have sighed when obliged to confess, that either nature has made a great difference between man and beast, or that the civilization, which has hitherto taken place in the world, has been very partial. I have turned over various books written on the subject of educating the overly hairy beast’s, and patiently observed the conduct of parents and the management of schools lying in the forest; but what has been the result? A profound conviction, that the neglected education of my fellow creatures is a grand source of the misery I deplore; and that Bigfoots in particular,…
