How many people believe in bigfoot?

 How many people believe in bigfoot? Thats a very interesting question is it not? let's begin with what is a bigfoot anyway? A bigfoot is a primate that is thought to be a large hairy ape-like creature, making it seem like a possible candidate for the elusive sasquatch. It is also known as "a cryptid" or "an alpha-predator". It has been said in some circles that bigfoots could stand more than 10 feet tall and weigh up to half a ton.

Some people say they live in remote parts of North America, while others believe that there are pockets of them all around the world. Whatever you believe about these creatures, there are many people who have seen them in person and swear on their existence. I personally do not believe that there is any true creature out there that does not have a logical explanation. 

First a little history on bigfoot, sightings have around for decades. Sasquatch was in American Indian spoken word for countless years. Way before becoming s pop icon around the world. The first real sightings of this creature were made by natives. Most people wondered why Indians would talk about sasquatch, furthermore they wondered why they would take the time to draw pictures of them. At that time not many people believed them so they called them crazy and dismissed their claims. 

Fast forward to the 1700s when European settlers came across Native Americans who talked about these creatures, the settlers thought this was nonsense and ignored their stories as well. Then Europeans started seeing bigfoot for themselves, so much so that a lot of people had never believed in them before actually start seeing them for themselves. The first non-natives to see bigfoot were trappers and hunters in the Pacific Northwest. The Indians believed that these creatures were put on earth by the Great Spirit. The white man began to view this mythical creature as the ultimate unknown creature. 

Bigfoot, hairy man, sasquatch has been in indigenous Indian folklore far longer than we actually know. The first reported mention of sasquatch was in journals by David Thompson, a Canadian-American fur trapper. He is credited as being first to describe the creature as "the spirit of the woods", on June 29, 1799. The native American word sasquatch is believed to have been derived from a Cree Indian word for "wild man." A legend told among the Cree Nation states that a tribe would send out many scouts and warriors to fight off these wild men before they would commit themselves to war. Bigfoot is largely accepted and respected within the American Indian culture. Hopefully I have explained well, I mean no disrespect at all. Now going back to the original question.

Sasquatch is the most widely reported sighting of an unidentified creature in the world. Many sightings and reports have been made from across America and across the globe. It's not only the Indians who have seen these creatures. It's a bigfoot sighting on record for almost every state. I live in Pennsylvania; I've heard plenty of stories growing up about sightings that have occurred right here in my state. Bigfoot is a hairy hominid that resides mainly in forested areas throughout North America.

How many people believe in bigfoot? We are talking about the general public now. Many people around the world believe in bigfoot and have reported sightings. There is a lot of evidence that suggests that bigfoot is truly a living creature. He has been spotted by hundreds and even thousands of people who swear they know what they saw. Many people have also seen his tracks and those tracks are so large no man could fit into them. 

Then why don't more governments or law enforcement officials openly acknowledge their existence? They choose not to at this time because they need more information and data about them before they can do that. Many people still believe in bigfoot. It's a matter of fact that every time these creatures are spotted by the public or reported it sparks quite a controversy online. You can't make someone believe something that they didn't before you mention it.

The arguments against bigfoot are mostly anecdotal evidence and various personal experiences with them. The most common argument is that they are just too supernatural to be taken seriously; however, this does not mean there aren't truths within these stories. There have been numerous reports of bigfoot in Civil War era tunnels under the Gettysburg battlefield (see section below), and there have been documented sightings of the creature being quite aggressive when they appear on film or photographs.

Most law enforcement agencies are not aware of the existence of this creature. Some of them do know and don't believe in it. Others still are starting to believe what the public is saying about him. I will give you my personal opinion of the whole bigfoot phenomenon in my state. Pennsylvania has the most Bigfoot sightings by far than any other state. Pennsylvania is home to many large national parks including the Poconos Mountains, Allegheny National Forest, and many more forests that have reported sightings. 

Pennsylvania Bigfoot sightings date back centuries and they continue today as a more recent trend within the state's counties. Some are taking a closer look at it and evaluating their own encounters that they might have had. At least one government agency (FBI) has admitted to pursuing scientific research in the existence of these creatures at least once.

In conclusion, I believe it's fair to say quite a number of folks believe in bigfoot. After all, there's plenty of evidence to suggest some sort of sasquatch is out there. The truth is, bigfoot has been documented all over the world in different cultures and centuries. He has been seen in Civil War era tunnels beneath the Gettysburg battlefield. There have also been reports of his aggressive behaviors when he's discovered on film or photographs. Biologist and historian Jeff Meldrum believes that there have been great strides made toward debunking hoaxes and folk legends. I believe not, but that a lot of these folks are just individuals who want to believe in something that is unexplainable. Many people who are witness to this creature still maintain strong faith in its existence and some even go so far as to say they've encountered it themselves.

why bigfoot doesn't exist

 Bigfoot is huge these days. Hes a bono fide rock star. The Sasquatch has become a mascot for our times, with major sightings, the first ever on-screen celebrity interview, and a full-length bronze statue in his honor. Though I've always been a fan of Bigfoot's mystique and its hallmark unexplained case files, the lack of concrete evidence still has me on the fence.

The search for Bigfoot has been going on for decades now with no body to show for it (no pun intended.) While I don't need a body to believe in Bigfoot's existence, I'm certain that proof positive will come in the form of a corpse. In my opinion, if we don't have that by now then we probably never will.

This is where the ongoing dispute between Bigfoot enthusiasts and skeptics come in. While skeptics look to Bigfoot DNA, and see it as a way to prove the legend's existence, believers look to physical evidence such as footprints and hair samples. Bigfoot enthusiasts claim without any real evidence that this absence of tangible proof is simply because there is no such thing as Bigfoot. Skeptics dismiss this claim on the grounds that there are plenty of physical anomalies in nature which exist but are not yet proven. I believe that what we have here is a classic case of ignorance vs. education.

Reasons why bigfoot doesn't exist. (From a skeptic's point of view)

1) No bigfoot has been caught or killed so far and yet we usually find dead animals with ease.

2) All the photographs and videos of bigfoot are not of any good quality so it's hard to see for sure if it's really a bigfoot or just a human in costume.

3) The sightings could be mistaken sightings of other things like bears, people wearing costumes, and/or novelties like changes in temperature that causes nuts to grow on trees along animal trails.

4) Continuing deforestation is causing more animals to move into areas where they have not lived before which is why many people might mistake them for being something new like bigfoot.

5) The "new" sightings might just be a few weird people who read the same books as the other people in their area.

6) There is not enough evidence to support that bigfoot exists (so no autopsy or DNA samples are taken).

7) Bigfoot could be a hoax by someone who just wants attention.

Reasons why it could exist:

1) They are not of human origin and they have been here longer than humans have. There is evidence from rock paintings and wood carvings of people with antlers and shaggy hair being around much longer than humans.

2) It has been speculated that a bigfoot is an undiscovered species of a giant ape that could be a possible missing link between humans and other animals like apes. Yet the supposed ape looks very human with many human features including fingers, toes, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even hair (hair on the head and arms).

3) Some have said that it's related to ghosts and other paranormal activity.

4) Many people believe bigfoot is actually an alien living on Earth. The bigfoot sightings have been reported all over North America along with UFO sightings being reported in these areas also. Many people who claim to have seen both bigfoot and UFOs think they are linked together somehow.

What Is A Sasquatch

What Is a Sasquatch? Sasquatch is a legendary ape-like creature reportedly sighted throughout North America. The term sasquatch comes from a Native American language meaning "hairy man" or "wild man", the creature's English name is also derived from this. Although it may be difficult to define, there are many characteristics that are associated with sightings of Sasquatches, including large footprints, seven-toed tracks in the snow and mud; six-fingered hands; a bowed torso; dark reddish-brown hair color and skin tone, and very large eyes with white sclerae.

Where does Sasquatch live?

Sasquatch is believed to live in the Pacific Northwest, mostly in western Canada, Washington state, and Oregon. Sasquatch is an American Indian name for the legendary ape-like creature of Native American folklore. The name is derived from "Sata" (Sioux) and "Quts", which means "wild man". Some also believe it's native to the whole United States and Canada. Throughout the northwest part of the country, there have been a large number of sightings and footprints have been found from Sasquatches.

What do they eat?

There are many factors that contribute to what Bigfoot may feed on or survive off of, such as vegetation; insects; fish/animals; berries, fruits, or nuts. Because there have not been known sasquatches captured or killed by humans we can't be certain as to what they will actually eat or survive off of. That being said, there are a few items that people believe could make a decent meal for a sasquatch. One of those items is wild game. Wild game has many uses, uses that would be beneficial for both humans and sasquatches. Wild game can provide food for the sasquatch.

What does a sasquatch sound like?

A variety of reports about sasquatches have been given, and it is a mystery as yet to be solved. One type of sound that has been reported or believed by many is a "whinny" or low-frequency series of sounds, similar to a deep growl with the "humming" sound in between. Whether these sounds are produced naturally or due to some other cause is unknown.

How big are they? How fast can they move?

There have been those who claim that Sasquatches are the size of humans, however, this is not true. Most agree that they are generally eight feet tall, but possibly larger. They are also said to be very strong, and athletic beings. Only a few people have seen a Sasquatch in the wild and managed to get a picture or a recording of a Sasquatch. The only way we can really know what they are if we actually catch one or shoot one.

Do they have any enemies?

There have not been specific animals, but there are some animals that would attack them, such as wolves, bears, mountain lions, and coyotes. However, these animals may not be their only assassins. Because there aren't many known sasquatches it is possible that man could be their only enemy. Also, it is possible that humans could possibly hunt them for their fur or meat.

Do they communicate?

This is another question that remains a mystery, although it is believed that Sasquatches have a form of language. If so, what language it may be is yet to be determined. Sasquatches have been documented to use different vocalizations, from sounds similar to a bird call to a "knocking" noise. Although the sounds may seem unintelligible, it is possible that they could be a form of language. Sasquatches are said to be very intelligent, and because of this, if they ever decide that humans are their enemy then there would be no stopping them. They are also said to be fast and agile, and very strong. Their strength is comparable to that of a gorilla.

Are they really intelligent?

Sasquatches are very intelligent, and this is reflected in the way they communicate with humans. Some have come forward to say that they believe sasquatches are indeed intelligent, as well as very emotional. What these people do not understand is that Sasquatches are also very practical in nature. They see animals and humans for what they are and do not have any interest in either.

Sasquatch's are also resourceful, as well as cunning. They know that they are outnumbered by humans and other animals, but like the animals they are, they will do whatever is necessary to stay alive. Sasquatches are very wise and do not take any action lightly.
