| Gunzfactorian Guardian | Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a figure in North American folklore said to inhabit remote forests, mainly in the Pacific north-west of the United States and British Columbia, Canada. Bigfoot is sometimes described as a large, hairy bipedal hominoid, and many believe that this animal, or its close relatives, may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the Yeti of Tibet and Nepal and the Yowie of Australia. Bigfoot is one of the more famous examples of cryptozoology, a subject that mainstream researchers tend to dismiss as pseudoscience because of unreliable eyewitness accounts and a lack of solid physical evidence. Many people consider the Bigfoot legend to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes. After the first film of bigfoot was released to the public, people started to make hoaxes. But in the original film, no one knows if that was actually "bigfoot". Do you think that the sasquatch is real? Edit: YouTube - Patterson Film A Hoax?

| Gunzfactorian Guardian | One of the earliest ones was on January 7, 1811. David Thompson, a surveyor and trader for the North West Company, spotted large, well-defined footprints in the snow near Athabasca River, Jasper, Alberta, while attempting to cross the Rocky Mountains. The tracks measured 14 inches in length and 8 inches in width. The latest was on December 14, 2006. Shaylane Beatty, a woman from the Dechambault Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada, was driving to Prince Albert when, she claimed, saw the creature near the side of the highway at Torch River. Several men from the village drove down to the area and found footprints, which they tracked through the snow. They found a tuft of brown hair and took photographs of the tracks. |

| Gunzfactorian Guardian | Wow. I just saw this on the front page of Yahoo's Homepage. Bigfoot risks extinction, says Canadian MP - Yahoo! News How ironic is that? Here's a line in the topic: "When I get species protection for them nationwide, I will make my findings public and I will take this out of the realm of mythology. Bigfoot is real," Standing told Global National television news. |
