Bigfoot: Fact or Fiction?
by Does Bigfoot really exist?
If you were to tell me that you had seen Bigfoot, I would probably laugh. I am not quite convinced that he exists. But there are plenty of people who strongly believe that Bigfoot really exists, so I thought I would delve deeper into the subject and investigate it myself.
Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is supposed to be a large, hairy creature that walks on two legs. It is said to be desended from apes. Like all apes, most of the tracks found that allegedly belong to this creature have five toes. Most ‘eye witnesses’ describe Bigfoot as being about 6′10″ and about 500 pounds.
The legend of Bigfoot is not new. According to Wikipedia, in the 1840’s a protestant missionary put together a book of Bigfoot stories he had heard from some Native Americans in Washington. The Native Americans believed that the creatures really did exist and that they lived on top of mountain peaks nearby. Then, in the 1920’s, a man named J.W. Burn wrote some newspaper articles, depicting the stories of Bigfoot from different cultures and regions. He was the person who came up with the name, Sasquatch.
It was in the 1950’s that Bigfoot really became popular. This was when footprints of Sasquatch started to show up, and when one was photographed by a man named Eric Shipton. More and more, people were seeing Bigfoot tracks. The media swarmed on this news and it seemed everyone was questioning whether or not Bigfoot really existed.

In the 1960’s, the most prominent piece of evidence to the existance of Bigfoot was made. Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin were out horseback riding, when they spotted Bigfoot and caught him on tape. This became known as the Patterson-Gimlin film. Scientist have struggled over this film, investigating it frame by frame. Some argue that you can actually see the muscles moving beneath the fur, so it could not be a costume. Some argue that it could very well be a costume because you can’t distinguish where the elbows and wrists are: it could just be someone in an oversized suit. Years later, a friend of Patterson and Gimlin, Bob Heironimus, came forward and claimed that he had been the Bigfoot in the film. He claimed that Patterson and Gimlin had promised to pay him a thousand dollars to do it, and that if they had gone through with their promise, he would not have told on them. Still, many believe this film to be the real thing. Others say that if it isn’t, then it is a really well done hoax.
It is not just America that these creatures have been sighted in. There have been sightings all around the world. In Tibet, they are called the Yeti, in Austrailia, the Yowie, in Europe, Grendal, Kaptar.
I have read that numerous scientists claim that a creature that big could not exist and us not know about it. How arrogant is the human race? We discover new creatures all the time, and find that ones we thought were extinct, still exist. Why do we find it so hard to believe that Bigfoot could exist? This is a big planet. And I think that something that may not want to be found, could find a way to stay hidden.
So, does Bigfoot exist? Well, as of now, there isn’t enough evidence to prove that he does.
But there isn’t enought to prove that he doesn’t either.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, the film that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin made in 1967 in Northern California at Bluff Creek of Bigfoot was real. Here is what they filmed on October 20 1967.
Several thousand years ago there were thousands of slaves that ran off around the world and started their own countries. When these slaves ran off there was a large group of men and boys of all different ages and sizes that took off and ended up in Africa. Some of them were giants as tall as 9 ft. or even taller. The giant named Goliath that David killed with his slingshot was 9 ft. tall. So there were giant men in those days. Some of these men and boys went exploring to Borneo and caught female Orangutans and took them to South America and had sex with them and created the Indians. The men and boys that stayed in Africa caught female Gorillas and had sex with them and created the Africans. When scientists found the bones in Africa they thought we evolved naturally from a female Chimpanzee. But it wasn’t a natural evolution it was a man made evolution. That’s where all the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures come from. They are half man and half Gorilla and half man and half Orangutan. They use to call the Indians the red man. The Orangutan has reddish hair. When those men bred out the hair the Indian’s skin remained red. The Gorilla has black hair and skin. When those men bred out the hair the African’s skin remained black. Some of the Indians and Africans are tall. And some of the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures are tall. They are tall because some of the men that created them were tall. Some scientists believe that we evolved naturally from a female Chimpanzee. Have you ever seen an 8 ft. tall Chimpanzee? I haven’t either. Bigfoot migrated up through Africa and came into the United States at the top of Africa when they were connected by land. The Orangutan creatures migrated up through Central America and came into the United States like the Indians did. The creature that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed in 1967 was half man and half Gorilla. It was a female Bigfoot that they named Patty. Patty was not a man in a costume, she is not our missing link and she is not a figment of our imagination. Patty was a creature that was created by men that had sex with female Gorillas and Orangutans a long time ago. Believe it or not, man created his own evolution. Jesus
