Bigfoot: Real Or Myth
Bigfoot, real or myth.
One of the most controversial topics out today is that Bigfoot is real? Many people will swear that it is just a made up myth. On the other side of that there are countless people that swear to seeing this gigantic hairy creature all over the world. There have been multiple tracks and strands of hairs that have been tracked down and discovered. On the other side of that, some people think that they made the tracks or got the hair off of other animals. On this topic I am going to convince you that Bigfoot is real and show you why. To fully understand this idea of a Bigfoot we will have to go back to the origin of the story. Stories and tales have been shared and told from early Native Americans who would catch glimpses

Now I’m not saying every eyewitness is credible for what they seem. There are numerous people that just make up seeing this beast, but there are those who did in fact see it. All their stories are way too close in the fact to be just made up. Something to think about when these experts are positive that Bigfoot does not exist, seventeen percent of the world has not been discovered and is untouched by humans. The most undiscovered area in the United States is in Alaska and there is no telling what creatures inhabit that untouched land. In my opinion, I believe that the Bigfoot species has evolved to evade humans and learn to live away from civilization in remote areas with a stable food source. Researchers say that just like any animal, Bigfoots have an excellent olfactory system and can smell when foreign objects are …show more content…
For example, it took years before mankind discovered a gorilla and considered it to me real. Before then people thought it was just a made up myth about creatures in the wild that were hairy creatures that would kill and eat any man that dared to go into the jungle. But now, a gorilla is just another animal we all know and have seen pictures of. It's not what people thought it was when they first caught glimpses of and found tracks. Do you not think it's possible for a primate type creature to be in different areas of the world and evade being captured or discovered? What it would be doing is just going off their instinct and going by what they have been doing since the beginning of time. In my opinion, when I think of a bigfoot I think more of a gorilla that stands up straighter and walks on two legs instead of all fours. Maybe the Bigfoot could just have came from a group of primates that got lost from the group and have just evolved over the years to the climate and different situations that are bestowed upon them. Charles Darwin proved that animals can evolve to different climates and different difficulties that the certain species face on a day to day basis. It is either they evolve, or die there is no other way around

    How in a scientific age as ours, with legitimate data and reasoning as close as a Google search, can people believe in crazy unsubstantiated theories? Pseudoscience has been around longer than true science has, but with all we know, wouldn’t folks wise up? According to Wikkipedia, “Pseudoscience is any body of knowledge, methodology, or practice that is erroneously regarded as scientific”. (Wikkipedia) In the past, honest scientific mistakes were believed to be true. The flat earth theory, astrology and the Sun revolving around the earth were all accepted science, until proven false. Those who continued to profess those beliefs became…

    In conclusion I think that bigfoot is real. There have been countless witnesses all over the world and there are far too many sightings to them be fake. There are many scientists that have looked into this matter and found scientific proof. Take into example the Albert Ostman story and countless other sightings. I think that there have been far too many scientific things as well to prove this…

    Sasquatch Myths

    A hunter had found the dead body that could supposedly be Sasquatch. Tests have been taken in to see if it linked to anything and the results still haven’t came back. Doug Gross said in this article “Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say” from CNN that “The men won’t reveal the den of the ape like man because they don’t want others to be disturbed” (Gross). This is a huge reveal, but them not revealing the actual den makes it less believable. It’s like telling someone (just for an example) I will trade you 5 bucks tomorrow for that sandwich and not even showing them you have money for it. In my own opinion they just found a carcass of a rare ape-like species. Now if they had revealed the actual location of the den and people start to go there and get even more evidence then I would believe it is real. This story never really became popular either. I never even knew that this had happened until I looked it up so that is another huge reason why it is probably…

    In 1960, Tim Dinsdale filmed something that might have been a giant reptile. He believed strongly in the reality of the monster and advertized his beliefs to others. His seriousness prompted some to take more seriously the idea that a monster might really be living in Loch Ness. The Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau was formed in 1961. To this day, however, no one has proven that the monster really…

    To the Native Americans big foot is a brother of ours. Scientifically he is an unrecorded primate species in the world known as a cryptid. A cryptid is defined as “a creature unknown to science” (Shea). The first incidents, unrecorded, are said to have begun with Native Americans. The natives describe big foot as”…generally shy and benign figures…they may take things that don’t belong to them…but they do not harm people and may even come to aide” (Native Languages of the Americas). Most sightings occurred in the 18th or 19th century leaving room for legends to…

    Events would happen during my research, that would expand my conclusions about the true identity of the Bigfoot. Less than a year into my research, I noticed that the Bigfoot demonstrated some unusual abilities. In fact, during my first encounter with the Bigfoot, I think I was exposed to infrasound. Infrasound is a very low-frequency sound wave. The human ear cannot hear it, but it can have devastating effects on the mind and body. During the before mentioned encounter, I became very scared, apprehensive, and had a mild ringing in my ears. I had the feeling of extreme dread, and had the overwhelming urge to leave the area immediately. I later learned that this phenomenon is a common experience among Bigfoot…

    Is Bigfoot Real

    • 3 Pages

    You should be asking yourself why bigfoot is fake instead of how bigfoot could be real. There is no scenario possible where bigfoot could be real. Researchers have never found any concrete proof that bigfoot is real, the best evidence ever recorded is still very poor quality and shows no prove of a modern day hominid. The descriptions of bigfoot don’t match up to the characteristics of any hominid today. Bigfoot is not real today he is not going to be real tomorrow or was he real in 1967. Think logically, bigfoot is fake, stop wasting your…

    That argument is very logical hinting the repetitive phrase, “I’ll believe when I see it.” However, there are a lot of things that are not visible that we believe in. For example, in America 9 out of 10 Americans believe in God. God is not visible to us, so why don’t 9 out of 10 Americans believe in Bigfoot? Now in no way am I comparing the greatness of God to some creature in the woods, but when it comes to our belief in the things we cannot see, I feel as if we can treat certain things like we treat our belief in God. Also, in many science courses we learn about different things like carbon monoxide and air that we breathe that we can not see but we believe that those things contribute to our lives, so why not believe in something that we have not seen? Another argument that would challenge the theory of the existence of Bigfoot is that there is not any clear physical or visual evidence that proves Bigfoot is real. Well, a Bigfoot believer would quickly say, what on Earth can make an abnormally large footprint the size of 15 inches in the woods? That question more than likely cannot be answered without some deep thought and research and the question still may not be able to be answered. Also, throughout research and studies, a definite classification cannot be determined. If we can not conclude on the classification of Bigfoot, then of course proof will be…

    Bigfoot Legend Essay

    Many people believe that it is considered crazy to believe in Bigfoot, and even more crazy to look for them. They believe that the creature is nothing more than a legend. A legend started with a video in Bluff Creek california by a man named Roger Patterson, who filmed a creature walking upright on 2 legs across a dry creekbed in Bluff Creek, California. During my early life, I had never believed that a creature such as Bigfoot could possibly exist. Even after seeing this mysterious video, I was still skeptical. One day in New Hampshire I heard strange howls through the window of the room I was staying in. They made me think that something may be out there, and prompted me to start looking.…

    They are also known for their uncanny interest in children. David Paulides mentions in his research, “We have investigated many cases where Bigfoot has walked directly up to young kids and appears to understand that kids offer no threat. They are probably as interested in us as we are of them but they understand that adults can cause them great harm, thus shy away. Children are different, they are inquisitive, have a smell and a voice different then adults, they are distinct. In documented cases where children have showed no fear, Bigfoot will make repeated appearances in an apparent attempt at friendship.…

    Before Darwin, people believed that species were unconnected, unrelated and unchanged since the moment of their creation. They also believed that people were not part of the natural world and were superior to every other species. Darwin’s theory challenged these traditional views. Many people either still believed in the 6 day creation theory, or thought that the idea of apes being our ancestors hard to believe, and preferred ancient stories of creation.…
