Early photo of Bigfoot. Could he really be out there?

Does
Bigfoot even exist? Is he out there living in the wilderness hiding from the
world, hiding from the people of today’s towns? People have been searching for the so called “Bigfoot” also
known as the Sasquatch. There have been many different ‘sightings’ in many
different places all over the world.
The Pacific Northwest of America
has its Bigfoot: A hairy, ape-like, biped that stands seven to nine feet tall
and weighs between 600 and 900 pounds. Bigfoot, or as it's often called
in Canada, the Sasquatch, is mentioned in several Native American legends. In
fact, the term "Sasquatch" is Indian for "hairy giant." A
typical Bigfoot print is 17 inches long and 7 inches wide, while the average
human footprint is 11 inches long and 4 inches wide. The Sasquatch footprint
has no arch, double ball, and sometimes appears to have only 4 toes.
According
to UnMuseum.org; the first sighting of a Sasquatch by a man apparently came
in 1811 near what now is the town of Jasper, Alberta Canada. A trader named David
Thompson found some strange footprints fourteen inches long and eight inches
wide, with four toes. According to the same website, In 1967 Roger Patterson
and Bob Gimlin, Bigfoot buffs, announced they'd captured Bigfoot with a movie
camera. They filmed a few seconds of an ape-like creature, apparently female,
moving across a clearing near Bluff Creek in northern California. While the
film is not perfectly clear, there is no mistaking the creature in the film for
a common animal. The movie shows either a real Bigfoot or a man in a clever
costume. Nobody has ever proved the film fake, though some viewers were
suspicious about the unnatural stride the creature had. One scientist who
viewed the film, John Napier, of the Smithsonian Institution, admitted, "I
couldn't see the zipper, and I still can't.”
Well
we all guess if Bigfoot is real or not, but the golden question is, do you
believe in Bigfoot?
