UNSOLVED: BIGFOOT
Yetis. Yowies. Ebu Gogos. Sasquatch. No matter what you call them, the legend of the Bigfoot has been captivating theorists and regular people around the world since the 15th century but has been spoken about in stories for thousands of years. From their seven-foot-tall ape-like bodies, heavy footsteps, extraordinary strength and shy demeanour, the creature has remained an international unsolved mystery.
As a Russian legend goes, Zara, an ape-woman believed to be a Yeti, was captured in the 19th century before living with nobleman Edgi Genaba. She had four half-human children, and it’s said that their descendants still exist today.
In 1958, Gerald Crew found and cast a huge footprint that would soon be identified as “Bigfoot” by the Humble Times. Although Gerald’s sons claim he made the cast from a wooden foot he’d built, more Bigfoot prints have been found since. Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, an Anthropologist, theorized that the steps weren’t a fraud--unless the “fake feet” had flexible toes.
The Official Skamania County Ordinance takes the creature very seriously. They even went as far as to prevent tourists from bothering Bigfoot too much: “The Sasquatch, Yeti, Bigfoot, or giant hairy ape are declared to be endangered species of Skamania County and there is hereby created as a sasquatch refuge.”
It’s no surprise, since Bigfoot hunts have gone on around the world for ages--everyone wants to get him on camera. But the only existing footage that hasn’t been disproved is Gilmin and Patterson’s classic clip of a tall ape-man roaming through the woods. Although disbelievers might chalk it up to special effects, makeup or costume, Meldrum believes the creature’s muscle movements show that many features, especially his ankles, aren’t human.
In the Bigfoot capital of the world, Willow Creek California, there is a story of a boy who was lost in the woods for two days, before mysteriously showing up on the side of the road. He said that a “big, hairy man” put him there.
It couldn’t have been his imagination… could it?
