Bigfoot Is Real
Bigfoot is a pop-culture icon with countless people searching for him in earnest. And because thousands of new animal species are discovered each year, and creatures thought long-gone have been re-discovered, the search for Bigfoot is legitimate. After all, the coelacanth, a prehistoric fish presumed extinct 400 million years ago, was caught off Africa’s coast in 1938.
Evidence of Bigfoot’s existence includes photographs, sightings, cast footprints, and, most compellingly, audio and film recordings. Such documentation has often been discredited as the product of hoaxes, and unfortunately, tends to get grouped together with more reliable evidence. While wading through the missteps, there remain intriguing items verified by experts as authentic.
Audio recordings purported to be Bigfoot vocalizations were analyzed by a US Navy crypto-linguist, Scott Nelson, who concluded, “It is definitely a language, it is definitely not human in origin, and it could not have been faked.”
The most famous piece of evidence is the Patterson-Gimlin film shot in Bluff Creek, California, in 1967. Analyzed by experts for over 40 years and yet to be disproven, it bolsters the contention that what appears in the film is definitely not human.
The key is the length ratio between the arms and the legs. The creature in the film has proportionally longer arms and shorter legs than a human, which would be virtually impossible to fake, especially given the technology of 1967. Also, constructing a Bigfoot suit with accurate female anatomy was far beyond the pale of even the best Hollywood costume makers back then.
Bigfoot is real, but we may need a combination of time, enhanced search capabilities, and luck to finally find a creature who may just be really good at not wanting to be found.
