Bruce Tuckman has a theory which contains of four stages; these are forming, storming, norming and performing. His theory is about group development.

The second stage is storming, at this stage everyone hasn’t

Growing up in Ohio, there are many stories of Bigfoot living in its forests or caves, but I’m not convinced Bigfoot just does not seem real enough to me.
