10 Astronomical Details Surrounding Bigfoot, The Legendary Notorious “Ape-Man”

6 /10 Believing In Bigfoot

Despite the consistent string of hoaxes centered around the creature, many people believe that Bigfoot is confirmed in the same way others may believe in aliens or the Loch Ness Monster.

Even credible scientific researchers hold some contention as to Bigfoot’s status. There are new species of creatures still being discovered across the world to this day.

It’s possible, though slim that there is just enough unexplored American wilderness where Bigfoot could hide for centuries without being found yet.

5 /10 Big Feet, But Not Big Foot

Despite many sightings and even a few “samples,” most evidence that piles up gets disproved over time.

The most common proof is castings of footprints, which can be easily faked with prosthetic appliances.

There are photos, but the modern photoshop utilities available make those hard to stand up.

Even videos – such as the famous Patterson-Gimlin film – have been doubted by some and propped up by others as irrefutable proof that there’s something in the woods we don’t know about. Sometimes it’s a black bear, but one day it could be Bigfoot.

4 /10 All American Ape

Bigfoot isn’t the only mythical primate in the world. The first to gain popularity through rumors was the Abominable Snowman, a repeatedly conjectured ape-like creature native to the high snowy peaks of the Himalayan Mountain Range.

The popularity of this unknown creature, and the sheer difficulty in even attempting to find it in the deadly snow-covered peaks of the world’s highest mountains, was worldwide by the time Bigfoot started to become a sensation back home.

No one doubted that it was a native to the North Americas, though.

3 /10 If It Smells Like A Bigfoot

Bigfoot sightings have come paired with a growing list of traditional behaviors. Bigfoots are usually evasive on sight but have been reported – and recorded – showing open hostilities.

They can stand and walk, and even run, as well as pick up and throw things in aggressive acts of defense. Aside from the big feet, Bigfoots also smell distinctly awful.

This earned them the name “Skunk Ape,” most commonly used in Florida. Both creatures, Sasquatch and Skunks, are exclusive to North America, giving it another fitting name.

2 /10 Ape, Man, Both Or Neither?

If Bigfoot does exist, sure, scientists claim it could be closer to humans than some suspect. The scientific basis of a human-ape hybrid living is a proven one.

Mules live due to interbreeding horses with donkeys, despite both animals having widely different physical traits.

Some research was presented but was soon after peer-reviewed into rejection as the results from secretive samples were never clearly evaluated.

Some think the Sasquatch is a native species or even a naturalized intelligent human group. Others have gone to defend their belief in saying the Sasquatch is Alien in origin or interdimensional. They can’t disprove the supernatural.

1 /10 Believe It Or Not

Whether Bigfoot is real is less important than what the belief in Bigfoot has created. It’s almost religious. People have faith in something they either have not seen or have seen without explanation.

Each sighting is made more believable than the last, but skeptics are quick to point out the perfect coincidences involved in the failure to acquire proper evidence.

Until a whole body is produced, or at least enough of one to draw a conclusion, the monster remains a myth. A beast that warns us of the dangers of the woods but excites us over the promise of discoveries.
