8. Bigfoot Is Believed To Be Real
Bigfoot, the giant ape-like creature that roams about North America, particularly the forests of the Pacific Northwest, is believed by many today actually to exist. Many eyewitnesses claim to have seen Bigfoot, usually while on a camping, hiking, or another outdoor excursion, and some even profess to have caught life footage of the creature.
Stories of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, go all the way back to Native American stories long before white settlers made their way onto the continent. While many of the previous creatures mentioned here have origins in local lore, artistic expression, or merely the fears of the people, Bigfoot seems to have some credibility. The stories told about Bigfoot, while different, don’t seem to contradict each other.
According to some Native American stories, Bigfoot has magical abilities and other distinctive characteristics. Some say that he is a harbinger of impending harm or an omen that the people must change their ways. According to many eyewitnesses, the creature emits a distinctly foul odor.
Perhaps one day, Bigfoot will be remembered only as a superstition that haunted the people of North America, much as those around faeries and witches plagued Medieval Europe. On the other hand, maybe forensic evidence will surface which documents, for posterity and us, that the Bigfoot stories are correct and the creature is real.
