What is Bigfoot or Sasquatch?

Bigfoot or Sasquatch, is not a single "monster" or beast but rather believed to be a species of animal, related closely to man or ape. It has been a worldwide phenomena, and called many things before the term Sasquatch was coined in 1924 or Bigfoot in 1928. Some references have called it a "wildman" or ape in 19th century reports. One of the first reported accounts of the Sasquatch was by Samuel DeChamplain in the 1600's while exploring the northeastern United State.

Why hasn't a body been found?


Well the age old question is very simple. The ecosystem has it's own garbage disposal system. Consider the rarity of finding the remains of a bear card Rodents, varmints and insects carry away many of the remains as well as decomposition.  Other than a mandible and teeth, the Gigantopithicus, a prehistoric gorilla like animal, has no other fossil record but is accepted by science. Combined with the fact that the population of these animals is not a very large one, the odds of stumbling across a body or remnant would be great.

Are Sasquatch aggressive?


Any animal can be aggressive or dangerous if cornered or may have young near by. To date there have been no bonifide claims indicating a fatal encounter with these creatures, whom generally "get out of Dodge" when they encounter the human presence.  They have a particular distaste for aggressive canines. There have however, been many encounters where they have a particular interest in human activities, particularly around females and children. Again there biggest scare tactic just seems to be the people's reaction to seeing them.

Are Sasquatch Real?


The founder of this site believes so, not only because he has had three separate encounters and several near misses, but because of the history of sightings dating back to the first European settlers, Native American legends, and this being a world wide phenomena, it lends credence that a large, bipedal, hairy creature walks the forest of the planet in certain regions of the world. The pure corroboration by witnesses, of similar and documented primate characteristics, over the last few centuries, should not an cannot be ignored.
