Bigfoot’s Existence Does Bigfoot actually exist on this very planet of Earth? Yet, many people do not know if Bigfoot really exists or not. Bigfoot has been a real big mystery. The mystery has not been solved yet as of right now. Although people believe Bigfoot is not a real living thing, the sightings, research, places of origin and evidence left behind suggests that Bigfoot is a living thing on Earth. The evidence left behind from Bigfoot proves Bigfoot is a living thing on this very planet of Earth. “Bones were found identifying the size of a very big creature.” (Bigfoot Facts). The size of the bone identifies that there is a Bigfoot living in this world. “Footprints in the forests indicate a creature that

“It wasn’t until 1958 that the Bigfoot legend really started to kick off in the United States. That year, a man named Gerald Crew found a set of large footprints at a construction site where he worked in California” (Upton). Gerald Crew examined the large footprints and declared the footprints were from a very big species that could have been Bigfoot. “In 1967, the ‘Patterson-Gimli film’ was captured. The film shows a tall, hairy ‘Bigfoot’ walking through the forest” (Upton). This real film of Bigfoot’s existence grabbed the public’s attention about this topic and the person captured real footage of the Bigfoot walking in the forest. “The legend of Bigfoot existed long before the European men arrived in the New World. The Coastal Indians tribes of British Columbia and in particular the Kwakiutls had carved totem poles and face masks which clearly had references to a ‘man-beast’” (Shackley). Even a long time ago, many Indian tribes living in North America have maybe have seen or heard about Bigfoot being alive and living in the woods on North American soil. Also, the man-beast face masks referenced Bigfoot's facial feautre of the
Convinced that the Bigfoot was extremely intelligent by the third year of the research, I was persuaded by the evidence, that the Bigfoot was a “human-like” being. This led me to explore the possibility that the Bigfoot had a complete mastery of more than one language, along with a unique language of its own.
People go out and try to find evidence that Bigfoot real. According to Live Science in their article called Bigfoot Vandalizes a Winnebago and Other Questionable Claims they stated, “In October 2011. Bigfoot researcher and biologist John Bindernagel visited western Siberia to examine evidence of the Yeti (the Russian version of Bigfoot). He claimed to have found evidence that the creature broke trees and branches. ‘Twisted trees like this have also been observed in North America and they could fit with the theory that Bigfoot makes a nest.’ Bindernagel said in an interview with the British tabloid ‘The Sun’”. John Bindernagel is one of the many people that go out and study if Bigfoot is real or not and has gathered information about how the thing is damage and that no other animal can do that that live in the area so that he concluded that this could have been a creature that leads to Bigfoot. People have seen Bigfoot people who said they won’t believe it until they see it and now that they see if they can’t stop thinking about it and join in the
Leaving the area of the “Infrasound encounter”, I venture down a long narrow trail, investigating an area on the lake shore. Lurking in this area were at least three Bigfoot that I would soon encounter. The following is this account taken from my book “The Bigfoot Field Journal – Volume 1.”
For over a 150 years man has been troubled by one great mystery, a mystery that has baffled all who have witnessed it and all who have tried to solve it. This mystery is commonly known as Bigfoot, a tall hairy man/ape who lurks in the woods in almost every country on this planet. Some say it is just an ape, some believe it is a man in costume, and others are true believers of this hairy phenomenon. For more than a decade and a half this creature of myth has caused enormous contradictions in the field of science, bringing about one question. Does Bigfoot exist?
Bigfoot is also known as Abnuaaya, Abominable Snowman, Albasty, Alma, Almasty, Annapurna Footprints, Bekk-Bokk, Boardman and Tasker Tracks, Cryptid, Cryptozoologist, Cryptozoology, Dogman, Kaptar, Mulen, Old Yellow Top, Sasquatch, Shipton Yeti Tracks, Skunk Ape, Voita, Yeti, Zana, Zanya (www.unexplained-mysteries.comBigfoot) has been sighted
Bigfoot, the name heard sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows, listening to scary stories. This iconic creature has been the cause of disagreement amongst folklorists and scientists looking for proof of existence. Many scientists believe this is just a product of wrongful identification or someone trying to perpetuate a hoax. Scientists would have society believe these are all hoaxes; even with evidence out there supporting the existence of Bigfoot.
Renne Dahinden, John Green, and Ivan T. Sanderson are some of the most famous Bigfoot investigators. In the 1960s these investigators wrote many books on many eyewitness accounts of Bigfoot. “But by far the most sensational, and hotly disputed, physical evidence of that period is the 28 second, 16 millimeter film taken in 1967 by Roger Patterson…which shows to be a female Bigfoot striding away from Patterson’s camera”( Simpson). Bigfoot could be more than a legend. In 2002 the discovery of Bigfoot’s butt print was found in Skookum Meadow in Washington.
Though today, the Blackfoot territory is defined by reserve/reservation boundaries and divided by the United States-Canadian border, their homeland, Nitawahsinnanni (“our land”), continues to be defined by topographical features using their language (The Blackfoot Gallery Committee, 2013, 12). This traditional homeland spans from the North Saskatchewan River (Ponokasisahta, the Elk River) as far south as the Yellowstone River, Montana (Otahkoitahtayi) and from the Rocky Mountains as far East as the “Great Sand Hills
Many people think Bigfoot is not real because it's a ridiculous thing to think that there’s a man like thing roaming the woods. The more important reason that some people think that Bigfoot is not real is because there isn’t physical evidence that Bigfoot is real. There could be possible explanations to all the reasons that people think makes this myth true. First, an explanation for the way it looks. The way that Bigfoot looks could just be someone in a costume. The second thing to give a possible explanation to is all the “sightings” of Bigfoot. An eyewitness is the worst piece of evidence you can use to prove something is right or wrong. This is true because your eyes can play tricks on you and make you think that what you’re seeing is real. This is why eyewitnesses are the worst way to prove that you’re right. The Bigfoot getting caught on camera is also probably just someone dressing up in a costume pretending to be Bigfoot and trying to get everyone to believe them. People could also mistaken Bigfoot for A bear standing on its hind legs or a different animal that’s similar to the description of Bigfoot. The sounds that people hear that they think are Bigfoot could be a different animal or a human making those sounds. The explanation for its strength is that humans are strong to and they can do some heavy damage
The film demonstrates a tall, furry "Bigfoot" strolling through the timberland. Adherents to Big Foot take note of the animal's cruel method for strolling is a noteworthy point toward the film being genuine. Wild men stories are found among the indigenous people groups of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Grover Krantz composes, "Local stories that can certainly be identified with the yeti happen all through the Pacific Northwest. Their conveyance compares to the range where White Man records are concentrated. According to David Dangling, the legends existed before there was a solitary name for the creature; and that they varied in their points of interest both provincially and between families in the same group; and that comparative stories of wild men are found on each mainland with the exception of Antarctica. Ecologist Robert Pyle contends that most societies have human-like monsters in their people history: "We have this requirement for some overwhelming creature. Each dialect had its own particular name for the animal highlighted in the neighborhood adaptation of such legends. Numerous names implied something along the lines of "wild man" or "bushy man", albeit different names portrayed regular activities it was said to perform, e.g., eating clams. Bigfoot (otherwise called Sasquatch) is the name given to a fanciful simian, gorilla, or primate like animal that is said to possess backwoods, essentially in the Pacific Northwest. In North American old stories, Bigfoot is normally portrayed as an extensive, furry, bipedal humanoid. The term yeti is an Anglicized subsidiary of the Halkomelem word
Although the specifics of Bigfoot may be vague, almost every culture has had its own stories regarding the human-like creatures that roam the world.
The results of our research found that over 95% of the DNA on purported bigfoot specimens returned as “Human.” NABS found this as an extremely puzzling result considering the “BIG” names in the Bigfoot world that consider themselves, researchers proclaimed that Bigfoot was a type of ape. Many of these “researchers” claimed that the DNA showing “human” was compromised or contaminated and the results should be disregarded. We saw this same discussion time after time, discount the results, they are wrong. Again, almost every moderately famous researcher known for investigating Bigfoot issues proclaimed the studies and results were flawed,
Compelled by an unseen force, the Bigfoot avoid revealing themselves to humans. The devotion the Bigfoot has to keeping their existence unknown borders on fanatical. It is my opinion that this reclusiveness is virtually at all cost. The enforcement of this exile is the responsibility of their “fathers” the fallen angels at the direction of Satan. Numerous times I observed Bigfoot to human communication methods that were similar to communication methods used by persons in wartime prisoner of war camps where the guards were constantly monitoring the prisoners.
For my essay I will discuss the theory of formalism, and how it is described in Shlovsky’s “Art as Technique.” Using my formulated definition, I will then apply my findings to the text “I am Bigfoot,” in order to relate the text to the definition. The definition of formalism is to study a text without any outside influences. In Victor Shklovsky’s “Art as Technique” formalism is suggesting that art makes objects unfamiliar. “Art is a way of experiencing the artfulness of an object: the object is not important.”
Even though Bigfoot Stole My Wife uses elements of magic realism, I Am Bigfoot does not do the same. This story uses the fictional creature of Bigfoot and uses as an intelligent being; it does the opposite of magic realism. Magic realism
