Sightings of Bigfoot, also called Sasquatch, were first reported in parts of the United States and Canada in the mid-19th century. Since then there have been hundreds of reports of a large, hairy hominid or ape, with the distinguishing characteristic of a 16"-20" footprint. There have also been many obvious forgeries and hoaxes, suppositions about UFOs or supernatural connections and no real clear answers. Some suggest the beast is a relative of Gigantopithecus, an extinct primate of China. A famous home movie from 1967 by Roger Patterson still stands as one of the most significant -- and controversial -- pieces of visual evidence.
do you believe this?

I hadn't heard that the Patterson film was de-bunked. Who de-bunked it and why? Nobody in 1967 had the technology to create an ape-suit that realistic looking. You can see all the muscles underneath the fur rippling when it walks. That doesn't happen when you put on a costume.

We may never really know will we? There could be something like this wandering out there, but the realities of it seem impossible. Will we really ever know?

In a way I hope the mystery never gets solved, but on the other hand it would be nice to know what's really out there. I hope nobody tries to put one in captivity. At a reported height of 8-9 feet and 400 lbs., it would have to be a mighty hefty enclosure.

It is probably just some tall hairy drunk guy walking through the woods who can't find his house! LOL

I bet that beast has been looking for a home. Simply by prowling on us the people of this country. I bet he'll just pop up in my hometown. That was why the ride was added to The Great Escape And Splashwater Kingdom in Lake George, New York.

After many years, the Patterson film was finally admitted as being faked.
So was the famous picture of Nessie in Loch Ness. I think we have a generation or two of liars, pranksters, opportunists, and tellers of tall tales.

Well, I don't think any Loch Ness monstors are similar with that Bigfoot beast at all. But it is real fictional.

I am usually very open to many things, I believe in aliens and ghosts mainly because there is solid scientific evidence of such things, but for Bigfoot, I dunno. Why has there never been a skeleton found, why not more videos, and someone had to have stepped in some sasquatch poop! Until there's more solid evidence.. I can't say I believe yet.

Well, there are movies that show fictional tales about certain creatures that never appear in real life. We are still doing more updated researches on all the evidences of Sasquatch sightings. Well, in order that we can interpret the feces that Bigfoot left behind has to do with Jack Links Beef Jerky.
