MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT - BIGFOOT
Bigfoot - also known as Sasquatch - is a giant ape-like cryptid believed by some to inhabit the forests of North America, particularly the Pacific Northwest. Descriptions portray Bigfoot as a foul-smelling, hairy bipedal creature over 6 feet tall that leaves behind footprints and vocalizations. Alleged sightings and Native American legends predate modern interest, which surged after the Patterson-Gimlin film in 1967. Mainstream science lacks definitive proof of Bigfoot's existence but some allow an undiscovered primate could exist. Cryptozoologists investigate sighting reports, footprints, and other circumstantial evidence attributed to Bigfoot. The debate continues between those convinced Bigfoot is real and skeptics who view it as folklore unsupported by scientific facts. Regardless, the legend remains a prominent cultural phenomenon.
