Though there are many mysteries in North America to tell at campfires or when outside to insight fear, Bigfoot has always been one of the most well known. This mysterious beast is a representation of our culture and displays how the things we believe to be real, could just be a figment of our imagination. Ultimately, there have been thousands of “witness report encounters” with the mystery creature known as Bigfoot. This Yeti-like creature has aroused many questions that date back to the early seventeenth
debate whether or not the creature is real or just a man cleverly disguised in an ape-like costume. In 1967, Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin filmed what they believe to be was the real Bigfoot. Unfortunately, this doesn’t provide a strong foundation for a new scientific discovery, the film that Patterson and Gimlin shot doesn’t seem to be very convincing. While Patterson and Gimlin swear the footage is authentic, there are many reasons as to why the footage is not as convincing as it seems. The
there being an ape like beast that walks through our wilderness all started with a 16mm film in Bluff Creek, California by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in 1967. The video displayed a tall, hairy human like figure trolling along a timber clearing walking briskly away from Patterson and Gimlin. The film ignited a craze amongst scientist and viewers to go on a conquest to prove Bigfoots existence. The 1967 film was never proven to be a hoax or real evidence and still today is a toss up. Personal sightings
don’t care. There are evidence from films, eyewitnesses, photographs, hair sample, and footprints. Today everybody goes back to the film that was taken by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. It is the most famous evidence of the creature. The story is that the two men were riding horseback through the woods to Bluff Creek. When they got there they saw something crouching on the other side of the water. The creature got up two legs and started walking away, so Patterson hurried off his horse, got his camera

Cryptids A Cryptid is a creature or even a plant that’s existence has been suggested but has not been discovered or documented by the scientific community (Wikipedia.com). Cryptids are known to be part of legends, old wise tales, and mythology. Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience that involves the search for animals whose existence has not yet been proven.

There are some unexplained phenomenons that may give hope to the possibility that Bigfoot is real but most evidence of Bigfoot can be proven to be something else and just because there is no explanation now that does not mean there never will be one. Bigfoot is also called Sasquatch and Yeti; there is some controversy on
Cryptid Animals Maybe, one time you were camping in the woods. You saw something, lurking in the woods. You saw something unlike anything you’ve ever seen before in your life.

Unless one has spent a greater portion of their life living under a rock, the name Bigfoot is nothing new to today’s society. Bigfoot is arguably one of the most legendary and mysterious creatures to ever step foot on our planet. For hundreds of years, these large cryptid hominids have quietly roamed our world, undocumented and unconfronted. These gentle beasts have lived right in front of our very eyes since the early fifteenth century yet for some reason the human race has yet to recognize their
