Categories: News | Paranormal

  • "Bigfoot," or the Sasquatch, is a crypto-zoological creature, typically described as a large ape that walks upright. Most claimed sightings have taken place in the United States or Canada. Similar creatures have been reported in other parts of the world, including the Yeti of the Himalayas and Sumatra's Orang-Pendek.

The single corroborating witness was Patterson's friend Robert Gimlin. The film continues to be a touchstone of Bigfoot research, despite intense scrutiny and claims that it was a hoax.Skeptic: Bigfoot, Big Con (January 2004)
